Strangers G. D.

My palms are sweating and I'm shaking like crazy. Before I can answer, a guy runs out the door, causing a loud sound. The man with the gun runs after him, almost tripping. I took a deep breath.

Sirens are clearly heard. Soon, police and medical workers run in. "Help!" The desk lady yelled. Medical workers ran over to help her and the nurse who had been shot. They get carried out to the ambulances.
"Olivia! Are you alright?" Grayson asks, running towards me.
"Yeah. I guess," I reply. We wait there for half an hour, until the police say that we're good to go.

"Ethan and I are going out to a party later. Do you want to come?" Grayson asks me.
"No thank you. I'm going over to Ave's house with Emily," I reply.
"Are you sure your okay?" he asks.
"I'm a bit shaken up. But I'm doing okay," I tell him. He gives my hand a squeeze.
"That was the scariest thing I've ever seen," Grayson whispers.
"Did you see the guy shoot the people?" I ask.
"Yeah. But that wasn't the scariest part. It was when he had the gun against your head," Grayson tears up at the thought. I kiss his cheek.

"See you later," I say and shut the door.
"Emily!" I yell and throw a pillow at her face. She groans. "Get ready! We have to leave in twenty," I call, walking to my bed.

"Let's go," she says, once she's ready. We walk down the hall and to Ave's.
"Yo," Avery calls to us.
"Hey," I say and walk in. "Nate!" I exclaim and give him a hug. It's been a while since I last saw him. He's been working two jobs.
"How's it going champ?" Nate asks.
"Great! You?" I ask.
"Good! Long time no see!" he replies.
"Miranda, this is Emily. Emily, Miranda," I introduce.
"Hey," Emily says.
"Hi," Miranda replies. Miranda and Avery are roommates. After about four hours, Emily, Nate and I leave.

"Bye Nate!" we yell.
"Bye losers!"
"I'm going to see SpiderMan with Jennica and Elizabeth, you up for it?" Emily asks me.
"No thank you. I'm probably going to bed soon," I reply.
"Lame. Just kidding. I get it," she says. "See you later."
"Bye."

I change into my pyjamas and hop into bed. After a couple minutes of me on my phone, there's a knock on the door. I get up and see who it is.
"Hey Gray," I open the door and smile at him.
"Hi," he shyly says.
"Watcha doing?" I ask.
"I'm tired, but forgot my key at my dorm and Ethan's with some friends," Grayson explains, slurring his words a bit. I motion him to come in.
"Come lay with me," I say.
"I have a girlfriend," he replies. I laugh.
"Just lay down," I giggle. He lays down next to me.
"You remind me of her. Blue eyes, brown hair, and same voice," Grayson looks at my face.
"What's she like?" I asks.
"Beautiful, funny, smart, cute. I miss her. When I'm older, I'm gonna marry her," Gray explains. I give him a kiss on the forehead.
"I'm taken," he says.
"By me," I laugh.
"Really?" Gray asks.
"Really," I reply.
"Oh yeah. I love you Olivia. I remember making the first YouTube video with you. It was Ethan and I against you and Avery," he says.
"Yeah. That was fun. Wait! How do you remember? You lost your mem-" I get cut off by a loud snore.

I smile and look at his delicate features. He has beautiful eyelashes and an extraordinary shade of brown hair. He's everything I need.
"I love you too," I whisper.
