-MY BROTHERS BEST FRIEND- G.D

~9~

-Arias Pov- 

I didn't want to do it but I had too, I had to forget about him, but it would be hard if he was always around.

~2 weeks later

So far Grayson has been around the house a couple times but I just go into my bedroom to get away. I don't think he is sad anymore which is good because I didn't want to hurt him, as for me well I can't stop thinking about him.

-Graysons Pov-

When she told me, I was heart broken and devastated I didn't come out of my room our eat and I didn't go to school for a week, Ethan was the only person that knew what really happened but everyone else just thought I was sick, when I finally came out of my room all I wanted was to see Aria, the first day back at school she didn't sit with us but I could see that she was sitting across the room with some other girls that I guess are her new friends now, I went over to Chases house a few times but every time I did Aria was in her bedroom or out somewhere, it was like she knew I was coming over and did whatever it took to be away from me, am I that bad.

Today out of all days was Arias birthday and Chase invited me over to celebrate because he still thinks everything is all good with me and Aria and I was always invited to his birthday but I was never close enough with Aria to go to hers and Chase thought I was this year, so after school I headed over to chases house, well I guess she can't ignore me now, but is that a good thing??

-Arias Pov- 

"Happy Birthday Apple" Chase said as he came into my bedroom and jumped onto my bed to wake me up, BTW he calls me apple sometimes,

"Hey" I say as I sit up 

"So I got you a birthday present but you won't be able to get it until tonight because we are having a party and mum and dad are gonna to a hotel for the night" He says

"Ok, thank you" I say

"And Grayson is coming early to help set up while I go to the shop to get stuff"  He says, then he gets up and walks out of the door and down the stairs, uhhhhh

I slowly get up and make my way over to the bathroom and hop into the shower, I get out and dry my hair and put a little bit of makeup on so I don't look like a zombie, then I get a cute outfit consisting of a black short skirt and a burgundy cropped top and some white shoes and then head downstairs, 

"So are you gonna sit with me at lunch?" Chase says

"Um, i'm not sure, i'll see" I say

"Ok, well we should be leaving for school so go hop in the car and i'll be there in a second" he says

I walk out and hop into the car and plug my phone in and start playing some of my favorite songs, eventually Chase joins me and we both dance to the music as Chase drives us to school. 

when we get there some of my friends come up to me and complement me and say happy birthday and stuff and I smile and thank them and stuff,

After school finished and I had nearly everyone I know and even some people I don't come up to me and say happy birthday it was time for my party tonight, when I got home Grayson was already there and he was talking to Chase,

"Hey birthday girl" Grayson says and comes up and hugs me like nothing happen between us

"Thanks" I say and give him a weird look while Chase isn't looking, he smiles sadly at me and I know he doesn't want to be here, this whole thing is a act so Chase doesn't find out, 

"Well, shouldn't you be going to the shop now?" I ask Chase

"Oh yeah, ok i'll be back soon" he says and he grabs the keys off the table and heads out the door,

"You don't have to pretend now" I say and turn around so i'm looking at Gray

He just looks at me and starts putting the breakable things down in the basement, I start pushing the couches back so there is more space to dance and stuff, after we are both finish getting the house ready Chase still isn't back and we just sit on the couch awkwardly,

"Listen, I know that things between us is really bad at the moment but can we please just be friends" Grayson breaks the tension,

"Sure, we can be friends" I say, but I want to be more

"Ok, well I got you a birthday present" Grayson said

"Really" I say surprised 

"Yeah, well I got it ages ago and I thought you would really love it" He says

"Thanks" I say

He gets up and walks over to his bag and pulls out a small box and then another bigger box, he comes and sits back on the couch and hands the smaller one to me first, I Open it and see the most BEAUTIFUL necklace and it's says my name across it 'Aria' , 

"Remember when we were shopping together a few weeks back, well when we were in one of the stores you saw a necklace exactly like that with a different name on it and you said you would love a necklace like that with your name on it, well I got you one" he said

I hugged him really tightly and we both feel off the couch and I landed on top of him, we were still hugging because I absolutely LOVED the necklace that I was squeezing the life outta him, we both hopped back onto the couch and he handed me the other larger box, I opened it and saw a large scrapbook, I took it out of the box and opened it, all the pages were blank except the one at the back, the page at the back was full of pictures of me and Gray, one was when we were at the beach and he was giving me a piggy back to the car because I cut my foot and it hurt to walk, another one was when we were in the pool and I was sitting on his shoulders, I looked through more of them and begin to cry, I missed him so much and I didn't realize how much until now,

"Gray-" I begin, but I couldn't finish because I was crying to much, Grayson pulled me into a tight hug and didn't let go.

-Graysons Pov-

As soon as she saw the back of the scrapbook where I stuck some photos of us on it and wrote some stuff she started to tear up and I knew she was going to cry, it took her about 10 seconds before she was crying and was in my arms hugging me tightly, I even started to tear up a little, but before I could even start to say something I heard the front door open
