Unbreakable Past || G. D.

Emma's POV:

"Do you believe him?", Sam asks as soon as I am back from the kitchen with sodas for her, Jane and Ethan. 

After that school day, the three of them came to house. Usually we were five, but Grayson went with his chick. I think we are not even friends now. How is that possible, to forget the feelings you had for someone from one day to another? Or maybe he never had feelings for me, and I was the only one...

"Yeah, I think so...", I sit in the couch. 

"God, Emma, I feel so bad! I was the one that told Sam to leave early. If only we knew-", Ethan begins to talk. 

"Stop it. Its my fault. I am so dumb". 

"No, girl! You are not. But next time, you better follow what I say or I will punch you", Sam jokes. 

We then decided to watch a movie, and during the entire film I found myself glancing over her and Ethan. He had his shoulders around her, and she was playing with her fingers on his chest. It made me feel lonely, I never had something like that before, until I met Grayson. I thought my relationship with him was good, but I guess it was just me. 

.....

It was already 7 pm and I was going through my phone when the door of my room opened abruptly. 

"Are you serious Emma? After everything you went through, you get back together with Jackson?! I thought you were better than that", Brandon yells at me. 

"What?! No!", I told him. I know what Jakcson said in the class, but why does Brandon know?

"Seriously, everyone in school is talking about it, and even Jackson is the one confirming it!". I stand up to grab my coat without replying to him. "What the hell are you doing?", he asks. 

"I am going to school. They are in football practice after all", I say before grabbing my keys and getting into my car. 

As soon as I see all the team in the field, I walk directly to Jackson. Grayson and Ethan are there, but I don't care, or at least I try to hide it. I am focused on why Jackson is lying about us. 

"Miss Smith, get out of the field!", the coach yells at me, but I just keep walking. All the team is watching me now, as I approach Jackson. 

"What the hell do you think you are doing?!", I ask him. 

He takes his helmet on and wipes off the sweat in his forehead. "Emma? wha- what are you doing here?". 

"I ask you a question Jackson. Why are you telling everybody we are back together!", I say ignoring his question. 

"Mr. Dawson, tell your girlfriend to get off the field, and get back to the game!", the annoying coach yells again. But we both ignore it. 

"But its true Ems, I-". 

"No, its not true. I clearly told you today that I don't want to get back with you. Can't you just accept it!". 

Now everyone is listening to our conversation. I turn to see Grayson, who is watching us from the distance. 

"Seriously Jackson, back the hell off or I will..."

"You will what?!", he  gives a step forward with that intimidating tone like the day he slapped me. As soon as Ethan sees this, he approach us. 

"Guys, I don't think this is the best moment for-". 

"What do you know Dolan!", Jackson yells at him pushing him away. 

"Hey! calm down", Grayson quickly says defending his brother. 

"You too?", Jackson now turns to Grayson. "Look, I tried to contain myself for as long as I could, but you took away something that was mine. And now, it seems like I can't get it back". 

"What the hell are you talking about?", Grayson says. But we all four know what Jackson is trying to say. 

"Dude, I am trying to maintain peace here since we are both part of the same school and team, but you need to stop getting into things where you don't belong". 

This is not a good idea, pushing Grayson to his limits is never a good idea. "This is what you call peace? you are threatening me, my brother and Emma", he quickly replies. 

"Don't tell me your still have a thing for her", he laughs. "But that better end since I will be the one fucking her and not you. You don't want to be in love with my girl-". Jackson couldn't even finish the sentence before Grayson threw the first punch. 

They began fighting, blood everywhere, and all the guys trying to separate them. Then the coach spoke "DOLAN, DAWSON, LEAVE NOW! Tomorrow I want you at the principal's office at 7 am!". 

Grayson just looks at me, grabs his things and leaves running. Jackson is still letting everyone know how hurt he is, so I try to ignore it. 

"Grayson wait!", I say running after him. He tries to ignore me, until we reach the parking lot. "Grayson!", I yell again. 

"WHAT EMMA?", he says. I can see the blood coming from his nose, and some bruises already forming. 

"I- I am sorry, I didn't mea-". 

"Just leave", he says looking down and getting into his car. I look at him with confusion. How can he be like this. I know we are not together, but I am his friend. 

"Why are you doing this?", I ask with tears in my eyes. "Do you think it doesn't hurt seeing you with her, or seeing how you treat me like shit?". 

"I don't treat you like shit Emma". 

"Yes you do! you cant even see me right into the face. What did I do? I just need to know, ok? I-"

"Emma, just leave the things how they are. You need to get over this, and forget we ever d-dated", he says turning on his car and leaving. 

My heart is now breaking into a million pieces. 

.....

*The next day*

"Hey girl!", Jane says as soon as I get to my locker. "I - I heard what happened yesterday". 

I look at her confused, "how?".

"Brandon and the rest of the football team"

"Of course" I roll my eyes. "but what exactly did you hear?". 

"That you went to confront Jackson for why he was lying you two were back together, and that he had a fight with Grayson". I am glad nobody heard my conversation with Grayson, school can't know what happened. "But thats kind of good news right?". 

I stop walking, "how the fuck are those good news?". 

"Because if Grayson defended you, it means he still cares for you, right?"

I laugh a little, "trust me, he doesn't. I talked with him after the fight, and he basically told me to forget about him". 

"What?", she says, but the bell rings and we are forced to enter science class. 

"Good morning everyone", the teacher says. "As you know, we are already advance in the chapter 4, so I will assign you your first official project. Remember  we made partners at the beginning of the school year? you need to start working as a team because this is worth 10 percent of your grade. If you don't remember who is your partner, raise your hand". As he begins to answer some other kids, I curse in the inside. I was partner with Grayson, and Ethan was with Jackson. This is going to make things worse, now I am stuck with Grayson all afternoons for this stupid projects, after he clearly told me he wants nothing to do with me.
