Holding On For Him ~ GD

Chapter 25~ Sorry...

I watch Ethan run down to the car and engulf me in a big hug.

"Amber! I missed you!"

"Hey, I totally missed you too!"

He smiles then goes to the back of the car and grabs mine and Grayson's bags. The three of us walk in the front door and Grayson calls for his parents.

"This is Amber! My girlfriend!" Grayson says emphasizing the my girlfriend part.

"Hi I'm Lisa!"

"And I'm Sean!"

"Nice to meet you!"

I sound so confident right now but my heart is going so fast, my mind is screaming so many different things and I feel like I'm sweating. I feel so nervous. Never have I ever had to meet someone's parents like this. To be honest, I've never been with someone like this. Not this serious.

I didn't know what it was like for a boy to fight for me before Grayson, most boys wouldn't have chased me all the way to New York.

I feel Grayson snake his arm around my waist and gently push me forward towards the house. I look up to his beautiful face while we walk inside. He leads me up the stairs to what seems to be his old bedroom.

"What's wrong?" He asks holding my hands while sitting on his bed.

**GRAYSON'S POV**

She stands in front of me trying to smile, she sits on my lap and lays her head on my shoulder as her lips begin to quiver. I wrap my arms tightly around her as I feel her fall apart on my lap; her body shakes like trees in a storm and her tears cover my shirt like rain. I rub my arm along her shoulder as I listen to her breath heavily trying to calm herself down, when I realise she can't calm herself down I move my hand to gently pull her face up to look at me. Her saddened eyes squeeze my heart, she tries to smile to indicate that she's okay but can't, she closes her eyes and sighs. I pull her head close to me so I can kiss her forehead, my lips linger on her forehead while she takes a deep breathe. When I move away she looks at me softly.

"Sorry..." She looks away again.

"Hey... you don't have to apologise for anything, it's okay." I whisper pulling her closer to me.

"No G-gray, I know I hurt you... Ethan told me a-and he sa-aid that you felt r-really guil-lty b-but you d-don't have to feel g-guilty, I-it was-sn't your f-fault a-and I s-shouldn't have d-done it a-and I'm j-just s-s-sorry..." She trembles apologetically.

She's hard to understand but through all the tears and quivers I find what she's saying and it tears me apart a little more than I already am, I pull her even closer to my chest as I sigh.

"Amber... you seriously don't have to apologise. I shouldn't have yelled at you the way I did, I should have held you and made you feel better not worse. I'm the one that needs to apologise."

I feel her hand grip my shirt as she begins shaking again. I haven't seen her this sad in a long time, it was the second time I ever saw her if I remember correctly, she was on a park bench shaking and crying. Now she's sitting on my lap, shaking and crying more than last time.

"Is something else wrong Amber?" I whisper gently.

She sighs before sitting up. "Yeah." Is all that manages to escape her soft, quivering lips.

I push a piece of hair behind her ear waiting for her to continue.

"I-I think we should take a break..." She looks down and closes her eyes tightly.

"What!?" I say abruptly.

"Just for a little bit or I don't know but I need to figure stuff out and I don't want to hurt you and I think it's a good idea and it might help and I don't know..."

I sigh knowing I'll do anything for her, even if it's take a break. "Okay."
