Falling For my Best Friend || Grayson

three

Riley's POV

i notice all of the guys are snapchatting us in the car and i start dancing and singing to the music. they all post it on their story and i bite my lip. nothing looks better than one girl and like 6 guys in a car going out.

"so, where we going?" i say as Grayson turns the music up.

"Tyler's throwin' a party!!!" Ethan shouts. "we 'bouta get hypeeee!"

"are you already drunk or...?" i say giggling.

"not yet! but i'm about to be!"

"relax Riley, have some fun!" Nate says, shaking my shoulder from the third row of seats in the back.

when we pull up to the house Grayson parks in the street and hops out. he opens my door and i carefully slide out, trying to keep my legs closed in my skirt. the guys hopped out on the other side and we all headed inside. "let's fucking do this!" cameron yelled as he ran inside.

"jeez, someones excited" i giggle

i quickly check my phone and realize my dad will be home pretty late tonight, but i still need to be home at a reasonable time. life with a cop as my dad can suck. a lot. "hey Gray, i should probably be home by like 1..."

"what!? why?" he frowns.

"well, my dad doesn't know i'm at a party, and his shift ends late tonight so..."

he nods and we head inside. there's a lot of eyes on me when i walk in. i feel my face turn pretty red. "i don't know any of these people..."

"live a little, have some fun!"

i spot Ethan and and he yells, "Riley, get your ass over here!", from the crowd. you laugh and run over to him, dancing.

-----

"chug! chug! chug! chug!" a group of people yelled as i drank from a plastic cup and finished it. i held my hands up and screamed. Grayson laughed as he watched you. He was one of the only ones who wasn't drunk yet. i hop down from the table and almost fall, but he catches me. i was a hot mess at this point. if my dad sees me tonight i won't see tomorrow, that's for sure. "thank you!" i yell.

he smiles and nods. "come on let's dance!" i pull him out into the crowd and start dancing. he laughs at me and starts dancing too. 

the boys find us after a while and i'm starting to feel really drunk. somehow i got to the point where i was shaking my ass and they were all throwing cash at you. i'm not a hoe or anything, but drunk Riley is crazy.

it's 12:30 am when the lights switch on. "what the hell?" i say covering your eyes. 

"clear out everyone!" a voice yells and everyone groans

"shit, cops" Grayson says

oh fuck.

i hide behind Grayson and he looks back at me. "what are you doing Ri-" 

"shhh! we have to get out of here quick!"

"wait why?"

"that's my dad..."

he looks over and sighs, "go find Alex and Nate, i'll find the others". i look around for the guys and meet Grayson up front again when i find them. i head outside when i notice he's not there anymore.

Grayson's POV

i help Riley back to the car, since she's pretty wobbly. she almost falls face first into the concrete, so i pick her up and carry her to the car. i put her in the back seat and buckle her up. the guys are laughing and yelling as they head back to the car and everyone gets in except Ethan.

"Ethan hurry the fuck up!" i yell, as he dances in the street. he's drunk as hell. 

"why would i do that?!"

"Ethan get in now." i say, and he notices i'm not playing around anymore.

he gets in and i drive to her house. we drive by and i see her dad's cop car. well shit. i can't just drop her off drunk... i look back and tell her to hand me her phone. she takes a while so i park down the street. she hands me her phone and i notice her dad texted her. 

Dad: just got home, where are you? 

i press on the screen and respond, acting like Riley. i thought of a plan, but it took me a second to figure out who's house i'd say she was. i just met this girl and realized i barely know her. then i remembered she questioned Ethan and Amber's relationship. she must be friends with her.

Riley: sorry dad, forgot to tell you. i'm spending the night at Amber's tonight

Dad: did you walk? your car's still here

shit shit shit... what the hell do i say?

Riley: i stopped at her place after my run today and we've been together all day

Dad: oh, okay. have fun

holy shit he actually fell for that. i exhale and hand her the phone again. "my dad's going to kill me when i get home" she slurs as the guys are laughing at something Ethan said. "no, i handled it. we're going to my place"

Riley's POV

i wake up and open my eyes slowly and close them again, groaning. my head was pounding. i open my eyes again and look around. "where the hell-"

the door swings open and i jump. Grayson walks in with a glass of water and an asprin. "hey Ri, take this". i rub my eyes and whimper. "where am i? what happened?" i ask and notice i'm in a big shirt, that wasn't mine. "you're in my room Ri. you got drunk and your dad beat us to your house. don't worry, he thinks your at Amber's house".

"did we...?"

"what!? no! you have a boyfriend!"

"well i'm wearing what looks to be your shirt and i'm in your bed, so give me a break!"

i lay back back down and groan. "oh god..."

"what?" 

"the bathroom!" 

"shit-" he spits. he picks me up and runs me to the bathroom and i start throwing up. he looks through the cabinet and grabs one of his mom's hair ties and ties my hair back. "Grayson go..." I mumble and throw up again. he rubs my back and sits next to me. we hear footsteps run up the stairs and the stop. "Gray...?" i heave again and the door opens. it's Ethan and Alex. "go away!" i shout. "shh, my parents don't know you're here" Grayson says.

Ethan chuckles a bit. "guess we know who drank the most... go turner!!" he whisper-shouts and pumps his fist in the air. i sit up straight and wipe my mouth. "can you take me home Gray...my dad's probably at work by now" i whine. he nods, "of course Ri"

i go in and grab my clothes, shoes, bag, and phone. i check my phone before i head downstairs. 8 texts from Trent. 132 from the girl's group chat. i shake my head as i read the texts. Trent's worried and the girl's want details about last night. Gray walks into his room again and knocks quietly on the door that was already open. "ready?" he asks and i nod slowly.
