Next day...
—Grayson—
It's currently the middle of the day.

Jane hasn't talked to me at all, even after what I told Penny to tell her.

Ive decided to buy her a gift to show that I'm sorry.

I called up her little sister, Natalia, to help me with what I should get her.

I'm gonna pick her up, and we'll go to the mall.

I picked up Natti a while ago, and we just entered the mall.

"So, what do I get your sister? I really wanna show her I'm sorry, as crazy as it seems." I tell her.

"Well, there's multiple things she'd like. Like a new dress, maybe a pair of heels, a new highlight kit," mid sentence she gasps loudly, "get her jewelry! That's the way to her heart—jewelry!" I nod.

"Alright, but the question is, Swarovski, Pandora, or Tiffany & Co?" I ask.

"Well, you could go multiple ways—"

"Can you please get to the point Natti? I'm trying to get her a gift, not get her Christmas in July."

"Why not though? I mean, she would be happy."

"Would she really like it?" She nods.

"Alright, guess I better get a move on, the mall closes in four hours."

We just came back home from shopping. I decided to let Natti stay the night, for putting up with me today.

We're currently on one of our balconies, trying to sort through everything.

I decided to buy Jane a heart pendent locket, heart shaped earrings to match the locket, feather earrings to match my dangly earring, a key shaped necklace, and a bracelet. The locket and both pairs of earrings are from Pandora.  The key shaped necklace is from Tiffany & Co. The bracelet is from Swarovski.

We also went to various stores to get her dresses and whatever, that it's too much to remember.

I got her new workout clothes and new pajamas, cause she really likes those.

I also got her a dress, and two two-pieces. She likes dresses with the criss-cross straps, so I got her one in he favorite color—black!

Suddenly, I heard someone come up the stairs. I look behind me, and see her there. "Natti, hide the stuff." I whisper, and she does so.

"What are you doing here? This is my area, go to yours." Jane tells me with her arms crossed.

"I thought we shared the house? Therefor—" Natti cuts me off.

"Not now, you asshole! You're trying to apologize!" She hisses, and I decide to drop it.

"Fine, I'll stop. Anyway, I have something to give you, rather somethings." I tell Jane, and she raises an eyebrow.

"What's the occasion?" She asks with suspicion. I stand up and walk over to her.

"I just wanted to say 'sorry' for yesterday. I was being a real ass, yesterday and for the past almost five years. So, I've decided to try and earn myself some forgiveness, and make it up to you, Jane." I tell her, and she's still not amused.

"He got you jewelry, dresses, and clothes, Jane. He's really trying to be nice." Natti steps in.

"And I'm just supposed to be like, 'yeah I forgive you' and just forgive him for the past almost five years, just cause he bought me a shit ton of stuff?" Jane says.

"I'm not asking you to just forget, Jane, simply forgive." I tell her.

"Okay, if it's that simple." She has a fake smile on. Oh, shit. "I'll simply forgive you, Grayson...when you simply tell me what's up with you and Shawn. Until then, I'm not touching your gifts, and you can sleep on the couch. Oh, by the way, thanks for stopping by, Natti." She walks away, and I lay on the chair in defeat.

"Damn it! I thought it would work." I say, and tears start brimming my eyes again. "She's so difficult."

"Are you...are you crying?" Natti looks over at me, closely.

"Yeah, why?" I sniffle.

"Wait, do you care for Jane?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Do you love her?" She raises an eyebrow.

"I'm trying to come to accepting it, but she is making it hard for me to accept it. I want to show her my love, and she throws it away. This the example."

"She needs time, Gray. She'll come around."

"Can it be in this lifetime, though?" I ask. She giggles.

"Well, I better sleep, night Gray." She hugs me, and walks to her guest room. I shake my head and walk downstairs.

I go to the kitchen to get some tea, and then go to my couch and sleep.

This is gonna be harder than I anticipated.
