Day#5

I just got a call saying that the last person I had left, my best friend, died in a car accident this morning. Why do all bad things always happen to me? Seriously, I get one good thing in my life, and right after that I get this news. I sit on Grayson's bed, phone in my hands, crying my heart out. 

*knock knock "Mia, are you ok? What happened?"

Grayson asks through the door. I knew this would happen. The one good thing in my life would never last. Grayson would leave me too soon enough, just like the rest of them. 

"I don't want to talk right now Grayson." I say emotionless. 

"Mia you know I am always....."

"No Grayson, you won't always be there for me," I interrupt Grayson.

"People have told me that before. That they would always be here. They all left me Grayson and they are never coming back! I have nobody! Nobody." I say, my voice not steady.

Just as I finish my sentence Grayson comes in the door, followed by Ethan. 

Shit, I should of locked the door. 

" I have no reason to ever leave you. I could never. because I, you know what never mind." Grayson says, cutting off his own sentence. Was he going to say he loves me? We only have spent a week together, but it feels like a lifetime. I'd be kidding myself if I said I did not have even a little bit of feelings for Grayson. 

I notice Ethan looking at us, he started laughing. 

"WTF guys cant you tell your madly in love with each other, just date already!" Ethan says with an "I told you" tone as he walks out of the room."

We both just look at each other, we both were obviously blushing. 

"So M, what do you think about going on that date I was talking about tonight. Maybe would could talk this out. all of it." He says hopefully.

M, thats a new one.

"Yeah, that sounds good, see you in a hour? I am going to go get ready down at my place." I say, picking up my phone, and making my way to the door. Just as I was about to get to the door, Grayson stops me, and turns me around.

He begins to kiss me like never before, passionately. We let go.

"See you at 5." He says as he walks in front of me, and out the door. Leaving me speechless.

I make my way down to my apartment, trying to process everything that just happened. 

I go over to my closet in my room, and pick out a tight, short black dress. I don't know if I am comfortable wearing this. I decide to call Ethan. You might be thinking, why would you call him? Well, Ethan is my best friend. Over the past week we have been through a lot, and he is one of the last people that I have left. 

"Hey E, can you come down to my apartment?" I ask him.

"Yeah sure, is everything ok?" He asks, concerned.

"Yeah." I say, and hang up.

Soon after, I hear a knock on the door. 

"Hey." I say.

E looks me up and down. "Wow you look amazing." He says.

"Thanks, I was kinda asking you down for your opinion." I tell him

"Always." He says, and we hug.

"Ethan, do you really think Grayson likes me? I mean we only have knew each other for a week, and..." 

"Mia what the fuck, who cares about the time you have known each other. Does he make you happy?" Ethan interrupts me.

"Well yea but.."

"You are meant to be cant you see that? You are wonderful and beautiful Mia, just go for it! You never know, he might just be the love of your life. The guy you are with forever."

Ethan's words have never left my brain after that day. They are on constant repeat 24/7.

Just then I hear a knock at my door.
