Grayson Smith | ✔️

Chapter Twenty Four. Somewhere Only We Know.

Edited.

 Song for this chapter: Lily Allen- Somewhere Only We Know.

I had been twisting and turning the past few hours trying to just get any bit of sleep my body would allow, but I guess luck wasn't on my side again. Worry was something that was filling my veins since I had watched Grayson drive off.

And to top it all off my stomach was grumbling from hunger the past half hour. I was hungry, starving actually. I threw the sheets off me when I couldn't take it any longer taking my phone off the bedside locker and tip toed out of my bedroom careful not to wake a sleeping Gabriela.

Gently closing the door behind me, I walked down the stairs in the pitch darkness making sure to avoid that one step which sounds like a chainsaw when you step it on it too hard. My eyes felt swollen from the tiredness but yet I couldn't sleep and I knew it was because I was hungry and worried for Grayson.

I wanted to text him but he wouldn't be awake by now. Turning on the kitchen light, the clock read 4.36am, yeah he definitely wouldn't be awake by now. I could just send him a text for him to wake up to in the morning?

Yeah! That's exactly what I'll do, I'll just send him a text him cause i'm not a psycho girlfriend who wants to know his where abouts 24/7...

Okay, maybe just a little, but I just wanted to make sure he was safe and a text is least I could do. The look in his eyes when he left told me that he was in pain and it broke me to see him like that so the least I could actually do was send him a small text.

I put my phone on the counter as I made myself a sandwich before texting Gray, I put chicken,lettuce, cheese and mayo on the white bread and cut them in fours before sitting at the counter and taking a glance out the window in front of me.

The sky was pitch black outside, only a small few stars were littering the sky. It was funny because ever since I met Grayson and we went to our secret place, every time I looked up at the stars I no longer cried thinking of my Dad when he would show me them when I was younger and make up all funny names for them like 'Agnes' and 'Laquesha'.

But now when I looked at the stars they reminded me of the laughs we shared and that he was looking down at me with a smile on his face and it also reminded me of a certain boy named Grayson, his dimpled smile and bright heart. Grayson was taking away all of the darkness that was sucking the good out of me like a leech.

As corny as it sounds, he was my real life hero.

Finishing my sandwich I unlocked my phone, my phone lingering on the contact that said Mr.Gray. That wasn't my idea, he changed it one time when I was too distracted in biology class, but I never had the heart to change it. It was funny I had to admit.

'Hey Gray, how are you?' I texted but quickly deleted, how are you? Okay that was not something I would say.

'Wassup Grayson' Okay....no.

'it's half four in the morning and I can't keep my mind off you' That's too stalkerish.

I groaned not knowing at all what in the world to send him, what would be the right thing to send him? Like, oh hey how are you doing I know you just lost someone who you loved dearly but hey.

'Hey Gray, It's actually half four in the morning but by the time you probably wake up and read this it will be morning but i'm texting you and I don't know why. I guess I'm just worried, I couldn't sleep thinking if you're okay. Are you okay, Gray? Stalker mode on'

I sent it .

Then I threw my phone across the kitchen.

Stalker mode on? What was wrong with me? Okay, if he hadn't thought I was crazy before, he is going to now.
