Behind Closed Doors •G.D•

23.

Skylar's POV

I woke up extremely early the next morning. It's currently 7:06am.

I slid out of Grays grasp and quietly walked downstairs. I walked into the kitchen to grab a water.

I leaned up against the counter a just stood there. Today felt weird for some reason. It didn't feel like the other days. I brushed it out of my mind thinking I was going crazy.

Soon Gray walked around the corner with a shirt on for once. He smiled at me as he walked to the fridge.

"Good morning gumdrop..."

"Good morning Gr-..." Before I could even finished my sentence there was a loud knock on the door. Who the heck would be here this early, and we have I fucking door bell for a reason.

"I'll get it Gray..." I walked up to the door. I opened it, shocked by the sight.

Two police officers stood there with their hands in the position to pull out their guns.

"Um may I help you officers...?" I frowned, furrowing my eyebrows at them thinking they're at the wrong house.

"Yes ma'am we're looking for Grayson Dolan...!" As soon as they said that my heart dropped to my stomach and Gray came around the corner.

"Sky who's at the-..." as soon as he saw the officers his face dropped as well.

The officers pushed me out of the way as they invited theirselves in.

"Grayson Dolan, your under arrest for kid napping, vandalism, and man slaughter..."

They grabbed Gray and handcuffed him.

Everything was moving in slow motion. All the noise was faded and my vision was impaired. I couldn't see or think straight.

They walked him to the cop car and put him in the back.

"Don't worry Gray I'll get you out of this! I'll be right behind you...!"

"I love you Skylar...."

"I love you too Gray!"

I ran in the house and through on some clothes and shoes not caring if it didn't match. I grabbed all the money I could find, my phone and the keys and I got in the car and sped off towards the police station.

So many things were running through my mind as my focus left the road ahead of me. So many emotions fled through me as those words played over and over again in my mind.

"Kidd napping, vandalism, and man slaughter..."

Did he really kill someone? He couldn't have, he would never do that! But why Grayson.... why would you do all of this? I hope you didn't do it but please.... please tell me this is just a dream.

I love you so much Grayson but I don't know if I could handle this...

I finally arrived at the police station and I ran in locking the car.

I ran up to the front desk on the verge of tears.

"Grayson Dolan.... I'm looking for Grayson Dolan..."

"He's in a holding cell right now, I'll have one of our officers take you to him..." she gave me a small smile while I stood there waiting for the office to take me to Gray.

He finally came out and guided me to grays cell. He stood in there, alone, with his head hung low. The officer let me in closing the cell behind me.

Gray looked up once he heard the screeching of the cell bars. He ran over to me and engulfed me in a hug as I hugged him back.

"Oh my god Skylar... please listen to me..."he pulled away as he rested both of his hands on my cheeks.

"Gray... please tell me it's not true... I don't want to believe it but why else would you be here...?" I felt tears brim my eyes, threatening to come out.

"Sky..."

"Gray tell me the truth! Is what they said true?" I watched as his head fell forward giving me my answer.

"Yes Sky its true..." his voice cracked as the whisper left his mouth.

I felt a tear fall down my cheek, the Grayson I fell in love with, is a murder.

But I still found myself drawn to him. I was to in love with him to leave his side now.

"Gray... I'm here for you... please tell me what happened..."

"It was three years ago, me and Ethan were still getting over everything from high school to our family's death. Me and Ethan went for a walk to clear our heads but we ended up at a bad place at the wrong time. These two guys in an alley were doing drugs when we walked past and I guess they were in the mood to fight. They were provoking us, saying all this shit, physically pushing us around. So me and Ethan let them have it. They fought back, still saying all this stuff and they brought up something about our parents. Since we lived in a small commute, word got around fast..."

He looked down trying to finish the story as I brought my hand up to his back, rubbing up and down in attempt to comfort him.

"The guy Ethan was fighting had enough and ran, but the guy I was fighting was still running his mouth. I guess my anger took over and his words triggered me. I couldn't help myself, I lashed out on him. I hit him, repeatedly. I couldn't help myself, I was in so much rage. I beat the man to death.... Ethan brought me out of my state and helped me hide his body in a near by alley, and we left everything behind. We fled the state in attempt of a fresh start. That night still haunts me, I wish I could change everything... I didn't mean for that to happen Sky, you have to believe me..."

He looked up at me with pleading eyes, on the verge of tears.

"I believe you Gray... I'm not going anywhere, you can't get rid of me that fast..." I smiled at him with reassurance.

"I love you so much Sky..." a smile grew across his face.

"I love you more Gray.... We'll get through this, I promise. When this is over we'll be us again, we'll start our life together... have a family and grow old together, well live happily ever after..."

But sometimes, words are easier said than done...
