8. I L Ø V E Ÿ O Û

"No i'm not taking pictures Grayson!" I said tightly crossing my arms to my chest. "Why not?" I shook my head, and looked down. "I just, i don't want to." "Listen Roni, everything's gonna be okay, taking these pictures will help you." Ethan said, cautiously putting his hand on my shoulder.

"Yeah." "Yeah." I sighed and walked into the room, straightening out my  shirt before tucking it into my grey jeans. "Ready child." An old lady asked, fixing the lens on her camera. "Umm, yeah." i took one look at Grayson and Ethan and smiled. "I'm ready."

She walked over to me, and whispered something into my ear, before walking away. "Alright."

The first snap was instant, i was a little took back so i had to take another picture. "Just be you." Ethan whispered.

I nodded my head, and did my two poses before walking over to the camera. "I like it." I whispered biting my lip to hide the little blush growing on my face. She showed me the filters i could do, so i went with black and white. "Thanks." i said grabbing the photos, and walking over to Grayson and Ethan showing them. "Wow, you look amazing." Grayson said, and i blushed at that remark. "No, i don't." "Yes..you do."

BACK AT HOME....

We sat around and ate pizza, watching 13 reasons why on netflix. Of course i was crying, but Grayson and Ethan weren't they just kept looking at me and snickering. I rubbed my eyes, and yelled , "What?" They smiled, shaking their heads and looking back at the tv. "I'm turning this off." Ethan whispered, and after he turned off the tv, all you could hear was my muffled sobs.

"We should do something?" I said after silencing myself. "Like what?" Ethan said. "Let's go to the beach, i can learn how to ride a skateboard, you guys still have to make your YouTube videos?" I could tell they were thinking, by the way they clenched there jaws together.

"Let's go to our favorite place, the obstacle course."

AT THE OBSTACLE COURSE....
"Okay, so left foot here, and right foot here." Grayson said. "You mean synthetic leg." I giggled, pulling my synthetic leg up to the board.

"No, it doesn't look fake, i actually really like it." "Really Gray." "Yeah."

Ethan went to go get pizzas because we were gonna film a video today, and i was volunteered to be the camera women. "What's the pizzas for?" "I don't know, Ethan just wanted to get them."

"Hmm." Grayson stopped helping me, and was now staring at me. "About your sister." I looked at him confused, why does he want to keep talking about her? "Ye." I responded.

"I want to visit her grave?" "What..why?" I said, limping off the board. "I just feel like, i don't know, you've still been down, and Ethan told me what he heard, and how you saw her, maybe it's time you visit her."

"Grayson you don't understand." "What don't i understand." "She's not dead." His mouth opened, and his beautiful chocolate eyes filled with confusion. "What?" "She's in a coma, but she's been like that for months, the doctor says she only has 4 more months before they take her off."

Grayson just stood there for a minute, pulling his hand through his hair. "Gray I."

"Listen, we should go see her." I looked down at my feet, and nodded my head. "When we get back to LA." He walked over to me, and lightly hugged me. "Thanks Gray." He looked into my eyes. "For what." "For helping me, you and Ethan have been just so.."

He stopped me, by leaning in. I was just looking at him..what do i do?

"Guys." Ethan said. We both turned to look at him, and the pizzas on the floor. "Eth I." Then he ran away. Grayson went after him, and i just stood there. "What's going on?"

GRAYSON POV

"Ethan wait!" I yelled, grabbing onto his shoulder to stop him from running. "WHAT DO YOU WANT GRAY! YOU FINALLY GOT THE GIRL NOW LEAVE ME ALONE." He yelled, i was token back for a second but immediately regained my thoughts. "I'm sorry bro."

"Why do you always do that, every girl i liked you always take them." "What are you talking about." "Lindsay, Michelle, AUGUST!" He lunged towards me and tackled me to the ground. "Bro!" I yelled, as my head hit the dirt. "WHY!" He yelled, his fist landed on my jaw, and i winced in pain.

I shoved him off me, and sat up grabbing my jaw. "OUCH!" I yelled, then i started to laugh. "Michelle?"

"SHUP UP!" He yelled, but then his mad face turned to a fit of laughter. "I'm sorry!" He said after a moment of silence. "I guess i was just, jealous..but she's just a girl."

"Ethan, let's make a deal to let her choose okay, and we support each other." He shook his head and gave me a quick hug.

BACK TO RONI'S POV

As soon as Grayson and Ethan walked in, i ran over to give them a hug. After a minute of confusion they hugged back a little tighter. "I'm sorry, but i thought i'd loose you guys." I whispered, letting a tear fall from my cheek. "No, i'm sorry for putting you into that predicament." Gray said. "I'm sorry too."

We all looked around at the pizza and sighed. "It's been like 5 minutes.." i limped over to the pizza and took a slice, taking a nice chunk out of it. "Nice."

They joined me and we all just sat around. "I love you guys." I said, looking at the pizza, my cheeks turning a light pink. "We love you too."
