Unbreakable Past || G. D.

S e v e n t e e n

As soon as I arrive to the cafeteria, I see a bunch of people gathered in a circle. And in the middle there they are, Gray on top of Jackson beating the fuck out of him. Jacksons nose is bleeding, and Grayson has a cut in his cheek. 

I turn to see Sam with a shock expression, she is as confused as I am. I want to separate them, but Jane stops me. "Emma, you can't get in there!". 

"Why not? someone needs to stop that!", I say. I suppose Grayson heard my voice because he turned around and saw me. His facial expression changed for seconds,  but he went back to beating Jackson. 

"Say you are sorry motherfucker!", Gray yells. 

I want to run again, but Jane is still grabbing my arm. "Emma! Stop! If you go in there everyone will know you are defending Grayson. And your plan would go to hell!".

"Jane, I don't care! I need to do something becau-". I am cut off by Jackson speaking again. 

"You know its true! Yes, I cheated on Emma and that's why she is playing the saint and breaking up with me. But come on! Don't you think she has done it before too! Just look at her! I bet even you wanted to fuck her", he laughed but Gray began to punch him even more. That's when I see Ethan getting inside the circle. He takes Grayson by the back and pushes him away. 

"What the hell Grayson?! You are going to kill him!". 

"I don't fucking care! He deserves it!", he yelled again, but Ethan began to push him away from the crowd. 

"The principal is coming!", Sam said and with Jane we followed the guys and got away from all the people. 

Grayson was still really mad, and had blood over his hands. "I will beat the fuck out of him again if he-", he began saying. 

"Grayson stop!", Ethan yelled. "What the hell happened? I go to the bathroom a second and when I return you are punching Jackson?! Dude you could get expelled because of this!". 

Gray steps back, "just don't touch me right now, I don't want to hurt you too. I am so pissed". 

"Are you ok?", I ask. He just sees me and smiles a little. 

"No, I am not... I just... want to be alone right now, ok?", he says passing his hands through his hair. "I want to kill him, that son of a bitch deserves it. He called Emma-", he stopped.

"What?", I ask. "Grayson just tell me". 

"I... I don't even want to say it", he said hugging me tight. Clearly, its something bad that affected him. 

"He called Emma a slut...", someone says from behind. It was Sasha. She smiled. "I knew something was going on since you broke up with hottie Jackson". 

I step away from Grayson as soon as I see her. "No need to hide it Emma, I already know what is happening here, now I understand all the drama", she smiles. "I should have known this would happen since the way Grayson saw you the first day, remember?", she laughs sarcastically. 

"Leave her alone!", Sam rolls her eyes. 

Sasha now attacks her. "Don't tell me what to do bitch". 

Ethan tense up, "Sasha, just go, ok? we don't want problems". 

"Oh baby, I am not the problem here! You little girlfriend is...", she says. 

Ethan takes a step but I begin to say, "Sasha, I tried to be nice. But since you are insulting my friends, if you think I will let you do that, you better back off! Accept it, nobody wants you here. Not Sam, not Grayson, not Ethan, not even Jane. The reason why my friends stayed with me after you 'offered' them to join your squad, is because they know there is not a secret bitch hiding inside. So please, just go away. Do yourself a favor and stop humiliating yourself", I cross my arms. 

"Wow, Emma you really think you are the queen bee right?". 

"No, she doesn't think so. SHE IS!", Jane stood by my side. 

Sasha stood there some seconds watching us, "fine! I am leaving. But please, don't put yourself as the hero here Emma, everyone knows you are a slut just like your ex-boyfriend said. And I will make sure EVERYONE knows it". 

....

"Ouch!", Grayson says while I pass a small towel with alcohol through his cut. 

"Stooop!", I smile. "This is what you get for getting into a fight". 

He was looking directly to me. "God, you are so beautiful". 

I laugh, "are you paying attention to me?". 

He smiles and looks down. "Yeah. Well, what was I suppose to do? Someone calling you that... I just cant let people insult you", he takes my hand and kisses it. 

I smile. "You are the perfect boyfriend", then I realized... did I just say? Oh. My. God, I did. I open my eyes in shock. "I am sorry, I didn't meant that... I-". 

"Boyfriend?", he smirks. 

"This is awkward", I laugh covering my face with my hands. But Grayson takes them. 

"No, Emma, is not", he smiles. "I like the sound of that". 

"Really?". 

"Yes... Emma, after what Sasha said today, I bet all school already knows why you broke up with Jackson. So... I don't care anymore about what they will think. I just want to be happy, with you". 

"Me too Gray". 

"So, would you be my girlfriend?", he smiles. 

I laugh. "Mmmm... let me think about it". 

His face changes. I laugh. "I am just kidding Grayson! You know I love you!", I say sitting on his lap and kissing him. Some people will actually think I am a slut. It hasn't even been a day since I broke up with Jackson. But I don't care, I am happy and that's what matters. Besides, Jackson wasn't my boyfriend since two years ago, we were just together for appearances. 

By now, someone knocks on the door of my room. It's my mom. I quickly get off from Grayson and try to ignore how awkward this is. Grayson is nervous too, I can sense it. "Mom? Um... hey!", I barely smile. 

"Kids....", she pauses. Then takes a deep breath, "I didn't want to do this right now, but since I see you are already together, I need you downstairs...both of you... now!". She says and leaves. 

"Oh my God! Why did this happened?", Gray lays back in my bed making his shirt go up and letting me see his abs. I give him a little slap in the stomach and sign him o stand up. 

"Come on, I bet it wont be bad", I laugh as we walk away hand by hand. 

Little did I know, it was actually a serious conversation...
