About 2 weeks have passed since Gray and I began speaking. I'll admit we've grown quite close, I've gotten used to our little routine we have everyday.

I opened unlocked my phone to see a picture of Gray.

'You requested that I talk to you so here I am' I replied

'KYLAAA'
'GRAYSONNN'
'I WANNA FACETIME NOW 😩'
'Now? I'm painting'
'Can I watch?'
'It'll be boring but I guess if you want 😂'

Gray sat and watched me paint for an hour or so. I enjoyed the company and he didn't seem to mind anyway.
"Will you paint something for me?"
"Like what?"
"A forest or a beach, you're good at landscapes"
"Sure, but only cause it's you" I said sarcastically with a smile.
"I can't wait to meet you, Kyla"
"Well I'll see you soon. I fly over this Sunday."
"You won't get here until Monday though."
"Yeah, my flight is at 7:30pm and I land at 6:30pm the next day. It's a 15 hour flight but the time differences effect it".
"Are you excited?" He asked.
"To meet you? Obviously. Why wouldn't I be?"
"I don't know. Maybe you'll see me differently when we meet"
"Gray, nothing will change the way I see you. I'll see you for you."
"Well I hope I'm everything you think I am" he looked kind of worried.
"You worry too much" I reassured him.

I've told Grayson a lot about my life, about my Mother, about pretty much everything. He knows most of my secrets. I don't normally open up to anyone but Beth.
He opened up to me about everything that happened back home, about his Dad, about everything really. He told me he's never felt good enough for anyone because of his anxiety and that everything he's done, he thinks he could have done better.
Seeing Gray upset hurt. It did more than that, it killed me. Afterall, Gray's my best friend. Crush if I was being honest with myself, but I couldn't let him know that. He'd never feel the same, right?
