Edited.

Song for this chapter: M83-Wait. (This song goes SO well with this chapter,I highly recommended you listen to it while reading this chapter)

The school bell rang, indicating the end of school. Thank God. I haven't seen Grayson since I seen him with the football team at lunch, which isn't unusual since we have no classes together other than Biology and creative writing. 

I spent most of my classes sitting with Becca, the three blondes and that dirty blonde. I actually didn't notice just how many classes I had with them, and as much as I don't want to admit it they aren't actually all that bad. The three blondes are actually quite the comedians, Becca is caring and bubbly and as for the dirty blonde...well there's not much to say about him.

I walked to my long, red locker, books in hand and seen Grayson perched against the wall, his hands in his pocket, one leg fixated on the wall. Funny how he seems to be waiting for me now and not at lunch break when he was too busy with the guys from the football team.

He smiled when he seen me walk closer to my locker but I rolled my eyes, sighed and brushed passed him not paying him any attention. 

''Libby? what's wrong?'' Grayson asked quietly as I quickly put away the books I had in my hand. 

''Oh I don't know, Grayson'' I replied, my voice laced with sarcasm. Slamming my locker shut, he slightly jumped at the loud slam' his forehead was furrowed as he held a small frown on his face.

''Whatever it is-'', He went to touch my arm lightly, but I pulled my arm back.

''You know, Grayson. I hate when people forget about me. I get that people think I'm not important enough for them, or that they don't want to be seen with me and that's why they forget about me, but with you Grayson''.

 ''You made me feel important, you made me feel wanted and because of that it hurts more than ever before. Because you made me wait there like a fool, just so I could see you with them laughing and joking around. That's fine by me, why do I care? but you are the one who told me to wait, it wasn't my idea. I just want one thing, I just want to be remembered.'' Tears were starting to prick my eyes, Grayson stood there wordlessly listening intently to my every word, regret clear in his eyes. 

''Am I asking for too much? I just want someone to remember who I am, to not see me as Hunter's 'ex' or as the girl who slept with the whole school. Which is a lie, Why do people make up those lies? What do they get out of making someone feel so worthless? What did I ever do to them?Huh? I just want to be able to go to school without everyone snickering when I walk passed them and when I met you, you made that feel like that could happen. That I could be like everyone else, but then you forgot about me''

''You forgot about me Grayson''.

I was now sobbing, I never cried in front of people or at least tried my hardest not to. I try to put on this brave front, like nothing effects me. But it does, everything around me effects me. Slowly I'm crumbling, i'm melting away from the world trying to be somebody I'm not.

I stood there breathlessly,wiping the tears away with the sleeve of my over sized jumper,the loud rain was coming down in thuds as it hit off the ceiling windows in the hall. Grayson opened his mouth to say something but clamped it shut when no words came out. I diverted my eyes away from him, and shook my head. I would have expected something like this from Hunter not Grayson. 

I walked away, leaving him stood there alone. He didn't chase me, or call me. He let me go. A part of me was happy he let me go without stopping me because I just have no words left to say. It was like there was an empty void inside of me needing to get filled but was now temporarily broken.
