** AMBER'S POV **
"His name was Orion.."
"Yeah."
"He was a weak and poor boy but he saw a girl getting pushed around.. so he defended her.."
"Did he get hurt?"
"Beat up but that's not the point. The point is that he stood up for the girl."
"Yeah but where did you hear that?"
"Mum used to tell me and Ethan when we were younger and Ethan would jump up and say he wanted to be someones Orion."
"Did they fall in love?"
"Of course they did."
I sit here listening to Grayson's story, his voice husky and tired. He tells it with such passion. I lay here on the trampoline wrapped in blankets and Grayson's arm as I lay with my head on his shoulder. It's nearly 3am, it's cold. Like really cold but Grayson's keeping me mostly warm.

"Sleep well!?" I hear my mother laugh.
I shoot my head up as I sit up. The bright sunlight hitting my face as I remember I'm on the trampoline. I turn and watch Grayson burying his head further under the blankets.
"It was alright." I giggle.
"Sure.. Anyway I'm making pancakes you want some?"
"Yes!" Grayson sits up fast.
"Suppose I'll have some." I laugh.
Mum shakes her head before walking back inside. I lay down and pull the blankets back over my head before Grayson pulls them off again. He places his hands either side of my head and leans down and kisses my cheek softly.
"Good morning beautiful!"
"Good morning handsome!" I smirk.
Grayson laughs before sitting up. He climbs off the trampoline, putting his shoes on and carrying me inside. We sit at the kitchen table with Noah and Jai before Ethan burst through the door.
"Well if it isn't my lovely brother and sister!" He laughs sitting opposite Grayson and I.
"Really the sister thing again?" I shake my head.
"Well did I or did I not predict that use would date? Yes I did!"
"We're not married, she's not your sister yet!" Grayson laughs.
"Yet!? Look at that Amber he's planning ahead." Ethan winks.
"Shut up bro!"
"Anyway whether use are married, dating or not Amber is as close as a sister anyway."
"Aww thanks E!" I giggle.
Mum lays five plates out on the table and places a pancake on each.
"Thanks Marisa!" Ethan says half way through his pancake already.
"Glad you could make it Ethan."
"What are you doing today Ethan?" Jai asks.
Jai is my 11 year old brother. He's exactly 4 years and about 7 hours younger than me. That's right we share a birthday.
"Um I don't know, gonna see my GIRLFRIEND." Ethan says emphasizing girlfriend
"Since when was Lilly your girlfriend?" Grayson asks shocked.
"Since he met her!" I laugh.
"No since the other day."
"When you said you had Lilly I didn't know use were dating!"
