Why was Ethan was capable of fucking me up so easily? Looking at him makes me need an inhaler, his smile gives me a reason to live, his laugh, don't even get me started.

He wasn't mine, he broke my heart but I still loved him. Why?

Because he's Ethan fucking Dolan.

I sighed and grabbed my notebook. I was gonna try to find the tune for this song after finishing it.

I hear you're asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms

I've learned to live, half alive
And now you want me one more time

Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?

It took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
'Cause you broke all your promises
And now you're back
You don't get to get me back

Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all

Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
Tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all

Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?

I felt tears falling from my face, onto the notebook.

I walked over to my piano and starting playing random keys.

I found something that I was pleased with and played the whole song on the piano.

I kept repeating it until I memorized all the keys and lyrics perfectly.

A few tears did fall, but no sobs.

My doorbell rang again and I sighed.

I looked through the peephole to see Grayson.

I smiled, because he always fixed my mood.

"Hi Hailey" he said, and hugged me.

"Grayson I love you, I live you"

"What happened?"

"You're the perfect best friend"

He smiled.

"I got you ice cream and some more unhealthy things"

"See, perfect best friend. Why are you single?"

"That's what I'm hear to talk to you about. I'm dating someo-"

I pulled him in and closed the door.

"Who? Why? When? If she breaks your heart I swear to god-"

"Chill, it's Sabrina"

"Sabrina?"

"Sabrina Carpenter"

"AWWWWWWWWWWWW"

His face turned red and I continued to go on about now cute they seemed.

"I want couple pictures"I said.

"I'm kidding, I'm single as fuck"

I frowned as I smacked him on his arm.

"You got me excited for no reason! You bitch!" I said,clearly annoyed.
"I'm sorry I'm not capable of keeping a girl" he mumbled.

Bitch? You? Could? Have? Me? Any? Day?

"You trick ass bitch you can keep a girl but you're too stupid to see it"

"Pretty sure I can't. Let's watch a movie"

"Sure"

"What do you wanna watch?"

"Um...Legally Blonde"

"Ok sure" he said, way too comfortably. This boy was perfect.

We were halfway through the movie and I looked at Grayson.

I kept looking until he noticed me looking and he just grinned.

"Can't get enough, can you?" He said.

So fucking full of himself

"Maybe?" I said getting closer to him.

I leaned in to kiss him and he leaned in too, but it wasn't long until he pulled away.

"Hailey, this isn't right. You want revenge on Ethan, and you feel like getting with me will help you get over him. Trust me, it won't, and I'm not gonna take advantage of you" He said that with such passion and care. Ethan could nev-

"Hailey...you're bleeding"

"What?"

His eyes moved towards my downtown Abbey and I realized I was on my period.

Who the fuck gave it the right

"Grayson, can you pl-?"

"On it" he said, quickly jumping off the couch and grabbed his keys.

He left the apartment and I ran to the bathroom to use toilet paper as a temporary pad.

I ran back the couch to check if I stained it, and by some fucking miracle, I didn't.

I hear the doorknob jiggling and Grayson comes in, trying to catch his breath.

"Go to your room and lock the door, now Hailey!" He said, locking the door to my apartment.
"What the fuck?"

"Now!" He whispered.

He turned all the lights off , and turned off the TV.

He put a chair through the doorknob of the door and to prevent it from opening.

Suddenly there was a large pounding on the door and Grayson ducked, and mouthed at me to duck. I quickly got down and crawled to the kitchen.

I got up and tried to look for my knife magnet. (It's like this think she has under the cupboards that hand from your walls and you attach your knives to it)

I got my biggest knife and I heard a loud voice from the other side of the door.

"Come on, Grayson! I know you're in there!" A man's voice boomed. It was Jack...

"Open the fuck up!"

I went to my room and called the apartment lobby.

"Please send security, there's a man pounding on my door"

"Ok mam, just remain calm for the moment"

I hung up and went to Grayson.

I sat next to him as the screaming and pounding continued.

Grayson held me as tears fell from my face.

Why Jack? He was so innocent. what happened?

Cocaine and some other shit you dumbass

I heard Jack saying "Get off me, you piece of shit" and I sighed in relief. I tried to get up byt Grayson kept holding me.

"You matter too much Hailey, I need to protect you"

----
I woke up in my bed, to see no one there.

It was just a dream

I hear the doorknob jiggle as I see Grayson walk in with 3 bags from target.
