Grayson's POV

I don't know why she broke the kiss without explanation. I don't think I did anything wrong unless she thought otherwise.

Watching her run out of the car was mortifying. It was as if I was a monster that she had to escape, or else she would be hurt. Why was she so scared of me? What did I do?

Without thinking, I bolted out of my car and running to her door, desperate for answers. I needed to know what I did to bring a girl to tears.

The large, white painted, wooden door boomed three times as I knocked. I could hear the echo sound in her empty hallway. The door opens, and I prayed it was her.

"Grayson?" Morgan whispered to me, obviously hiding Jenna from me. "What the heck?"

I tried pushing the door open with my arm, but Morgan stopped it. She glared at me with anger, bringing me to fall back.

"Where is she? Can I talk to her?" I desperately questioned. All I wanted was to see her beautiful face, to touch her.

"No."

I stood there silent, trying to beg without using my words. I heard silent cries coming through the house, Jenna's cries.

"Let me see her!" I cried, pushing open the door with all my power.

Morgan jumped out of the way, shocked by my actions. I couldn't help myself, I needed to see her.

I looked around the hallway, spotting her small body curled up on a stool in the kitchen. I rushed over to her, sitting down next to her. Hell, she may not want to talk to me, but I needed to know.

Jenna's POV

The stool squeaked as I felt a brush of the wind against my right side. I forced my cries back inside myself, unraveling from my cradle and looking over at the filled stool next to me.

Grayson.

"Jenna?" He cried, eyes wide and pleading.

He came back for me. I left him unexpectedly, but he came back. He cared.

"Grayson?" I form a soft smile, fatally happy that he was there in front of me.

I wrap my arms around his neck, snuggling my head into his chest. My whole body shivered with our touch. I missed it. It felt like we haven't touched for years.

"What happened, Jenna?"

I unraveled myself from the hug, looking into his eyes deeply, warning him that it was a deep story. He looked back at me, comforting me.

I took a deep breath, ready to briefly tell Grayson about my fear. Fear of losing trust.

Telling my love story with Josh was simpler than I thought it would be. I contained myself from saying anything else, as I was too scared to go into my deep past. Grayson understood, as his looks showed it.

"I'm glad you told me, Jenna," he formed a sympathetic smile, grabbing my hands, "But I want you to know, I'll never cheat on you."

I felt butterflies fly around in my stomach as he mentioned he'll never cheat on me like he saw a future with us. I felt so happy at that moment, I leaned in and kissed him.

It was a quick peck, I pulled away immediately as I realized I just kissed him. What was I thinking? But the look on Grayson's face demonstrated enjoyment and pleasure. I giggle and wrap my arms around his neck, and he places a soft, comforting kiss on my cheek.
