Chapter Twenty Five.It's Time To Let It Go.

Edited 

Song for this chapter: Imagine Dragons-Dream.

This was the moment. The moment where Grayson would lay it all out on the table. I would finally know his secret. I would finally know who this mysterious girl was. The wind was blowing my dark sleek hair behind me as I stared at the view in front of me. That was it though, I didn't care about this mysterious girl anymore. I had Gray and who ever this girl was she didn't matter because I had Grayson. 

He was my person.

Whatever terrible thing this girl did to Gray, wouldn't change my opinion of him. Nothing ever would. I mean unless he murdered someone but that was hypothetically speaking. The green lights of a go traffic light resembled Grayson's emerald green eyes as we didn't speak any words.

It was just us and the lights.

''Her name was Jennifer'' His raspy voice spoke lowly, ''Jennifer Green''.

And there it was, her name. I'm surprised I didn't think of that one earlier I mean Jen is practically screaming Jennifer and plus I loved Jennifer Aniston. 

''She was my girlfriend, up until a year and a half ago. We met in my old high school, Pineview Maple.''. 

Pineview maple that school's tuition is like fifty thousand a year. I should have expected he would have attended a prestigious school like that before exchanging over to our high school now which was average, nothing special about it. But that being said I wouldn't be able to afford if it weren't for my Dad paying for all of our tuition's before he passed. He liked to be on top of things, that's one of many things I adored about him.

I didn't want to ask any questions, I knew it wasn't best to. He needed time to process his words and I wasn't going to press him on it. He took in unsteady breaths between his words as if each word that escaped his pink lips was like a stab to the heart.

''She was...amazing'' He emphasized, a small smile breaking onto his frowned lips. It was like a confidence blow hearing him speak so lovingly of this girl. He seemed like her loved her...a lot. His words or actions didn't suggest that. It was the tone he used when speaking about her.

''She was shy, total opposite of you. She hid her face behind a book at any chance she got reading novels from Shakespeare up to Jane Austen but her favorite was Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. She had an appreciation for love triangle's and expecting the unexpected. I guess she lived that one out'' He chuckled, but it wasn't a wholehearted laugh it was sardonic, sarcastic.

His words confused me. I guess she lived that one out. Did Jennifer have a love triangle with Grayson and another guy? 

I wasn't left guessing for long, before Grayson spoke again.

''I was pulled to her like a magnet, she wasn't like every other girl. That's why you two are so different but so similar at the same time. You both are not like every other girl that turns a corner. Jenny was shy and a bookworm but you're eccentric and deep. But yet you both didn't claw yourselves at me, you both wanted nothing got to do with me''He confessed, this time with a small chuckle. This time it was genuine but was laced with sadness...regret.

''That's why I guess I needed her, why I need you'' His palm found mine as he enlaced our fingers together making my heart swell.

''I eased myself to her slowly, she was stubborn. Like you. I asked her out on a date for the first time with a red rose and guess what she did?'' He laughed, his dimples showing. 

I narrowed my eyes and pursed my lips thinking. ''She threw a copy of pride and prejudice straight at my head'' He answered before I could, Now that I think about it. I'm starting to like this Jennifer.
