Grayson Smith | ✔️

Chapter Thirty. XO.

Edited.

Song for this chapter: Labrinth-Jealous.

Panic pulsed through my veins at the name reveal. It was like that moment when you're watching your favourite TV show, and you know which couple are endgame and then suddenly one of them cheats on the other and everything is ruined and your heart just breaks and there's nothing you can do other than to watch, painfully.

And you know nothing will ever be the same again, even if the other person forgives the other for cheating. They will never forget it.

No matter how hard they try, they will always be reminded that he once chose someone over you. And you're never too sure if he will again, but it's a risk you're willing to take because he cruelly stole your heart and won't give it back until you're broke inside.

I masked my horror with a small smile, Grayson looking at me curiously but I didn't look at him. I couldn't.

This was Rachel.

The girl Grayson supposedly loves. She was everything I wasn't. But why, why would he bring her over to my house. By the way she's dressed, she's probably tagging along with us. Maybe she's Grayson's cousin?

That's a bit weird though, I don't tell my male cousins I love them. But I guess each family is different.

''Hey, it's so lovely to finally to meet you. I've heard so much about you'' Rachel greeted, her voice sweet and...genuine.

I smiled back at her even though I was trying my best not to yell out to Grayson and ask who she was. I could sense Grayson knew something was off with me when he wouldn't stop trying to communicate with me by his emerald green eyes.

''Good things, I hope'' I giggled, eyeing Grayson. I actaully giggled, like Gabriela would. Now Grayson with definitely know something isn't right with me, if he didn't guess already. Either he knows I caught him out, or he is as clueless as he looks. Because right now he looks a mixture of confused and curious.

''Of course'' She answered, nudging Grayson with her elbow jokingly.

I kept the fake smile on my lips, trying hard not to cringe at her innocent actions that could mean so much more than any other person passing by would expect. I needed to keep my eyes on those two.

I watched every episode of Eye Candy, so I think my detective skills have risen since then. Cheaters was also a great help, binge watching TV shows really does have it benefits. So to whoever says binge watching TV shows and movies is a waste of time, suck my ass.

XO

''Well, I guess we should be leaving now. Right Gray?'' I quirked a brow up at him, he seemed tense. 

He furrowed his brows together and nodded his head, ''Right'' He complied.

Today wasn't the day for me to be acting out. Today was Angie's day, the day where her family and loved ones including I remembered her for the loving person she was. I don't ever remember Angie with anything other than a bright smile on her face, she was always happy. It didn't just seem like that, she was.

And she made everyone around her happy, to feel loved and be joyful and cozy. She also had the ability to make my taste buds abrupt with delight every time I delved into one of her delicious brownies.

I would miss her.

We all would.

She wasn't someone to be forgotten, once you knew her she left a permanent stain in your heart that no amount of detergent could remove.
