Complications/ G.D.

Chapter 3

I get into the car and it's cole. He gives me his sweatshirt cause I was soaked. He tries to ask me what's wrong but I can't tell him.

"Can you please tell me what's wrong? I'll stop this car right now." He says in all seriousness. Crap, he stops the car and so now I have to tell him.

I tell him the story and in the middle of it he stops me by kissing me. I kiss him back thinking it was Grayson. Then I realize it's not and then I freak out. I quickly pull away and he said he's sorry. He starts the car and drives to my house. That whole car ride I was a balled up mess. Why does this have to happen to me?

I get out of the car and cole comes in with me to say hi to my older brother, jace. He's in college and they were really close in high school. I go inside and guess who's there! Grayson, how does he get here so fast and why?

"What are you doing here!" I say in disgust.

"I just wanted to say tha..." Grayson begins and he never finishes his sentence. Cole ran over to him and started beating the shit out of him.

"Cole!!" He keeps punching him. I grab his wrists and he quits fighting. He goes out the door.

"What the fuck is wrong with you cole?" I've actually never seen him fight before. He always says he wants to fight people but he doesn't. He doesn't say anything.

"Please answer me"

"He's a dick. I don't like you hanging out with him. Sorry" he says and I'm actually surprised he said that.

He goes to his car right after he said that and goes home. I sit on my porch for a minute and I totally forget Grayson is inside my house still. I go inside and he looks at me with sad eyes. He has a black eye and his hand is kinda messed up. I go get him some ice for his eye and sit down next to him.

"Grayson? Are you okay?" I ask

"I don't know. Why would he do that to me?"

"He doesn't like me being hurt."

"So you told him. I don't think he would do that if you guys were just friends." He says and I think about it. He kissed me tonight. He wouldn't do that if we were just friends.

"I promise we're just friends."

"If you are, I guess it would be okay to do this" he leans in and presses his lips against mine. He doesn't try anything on me because of what happened like an hour ago. His phone rings and he goes and gets it.

"It's Ethan he wants me to go home."

"Okay. Goodnight!" I say and he leaves.

**next morning**

"Are you ready to go Delaney?!" Jace yells. Crap I'm not even out of my pajamas yet and it's... 7:00!!!! I'm going to miss the bus!!
