You and Grayson stood there as she walked off.
silent.
You play dumb and ask, "Um, why did-"
"Don't know.", he quickly jumped.
You nod and ask, "Are you ready for lunch?"
He smiled widely and he says, "Yeah," he proceeds to lead the way, and asks, "so, you glad i got you sunflowers?"
You laugh loudly and you both walk to your favorite burger place.

"And so now, i'm sitting there, feeling so uncomfortable-"
"Wait wait, so you sister has no clue you guys hooked up?", he asked, right after gulping down his drink.
"No freaking clue. He introduced himself and i went along with it, and now i guess he wants some more?", you say, right before Grayson bursts into laughter. "I don't want to tell her."
"You have to!"
(this is actually the plot to another story called you get me ;) go check it out)
You shrug in response and you both smile. A moment passes before you get a text from Ashley.
ashely:: alright , i'm sorry for the whole silent thing , just come tonight plz
ashley:: you can bring your dorky friend and I promise to be nice :')))))
"Ashely just texted me," you sighed, "she says she's sorry."
"So accept it, it really wasn't a big deal-"
"Yes it was, she called you-"
"Silent? So? It doesn't mean anything-"
"What do you mean-"
"You have no idea what she meant by-"
"Well i know what she meant when she told me about Nayelli."
Then, he stood still for like a minute, "What exactly did she tell you?"
"Grayson, you don't need to be embarrassed-"
"Y/n, what did she say to you?", he repeated, in slightly more annoyed tone.
You sighed and allowed your body to lost posture, "She told me that you fell in love-"
"She didn't say that-"
"Well, she didn't use those exact words, but I could tell-"
"Y/n, stop trying to defend her, Ashley Curtis is a horrible person. Okay? Everyone who wouldn't let that damn memory just fade is a horrible person!", he said, finally raising his voice. "I know she would never say I fell in love, because she herself has never fallen in love-"
"What does that have to do with anything-"
"I fell in love with Nayelli, but people Ashley, looked at it as an obsession, they couldn't understand-"
You looked around and saw people staring as Grayson brought himself up to his feet, "Grayson, calm down, okay?"
Grayson sighs even louder and throws $50 on the table and tries to walk out, "Y/n, you're not understanding what I went through-"
You followed him out with both your coats in your hand , as you both reach the parking lot,"Of course I don't and I never will, you won't let me in-"
"And why do you think that is? Huh?", he asks as he sharply turns his body towards you. "Because you're friends with the horrible people and th- they- they- they already this like spell on you-"
"Spell on me?!"
"Yes, y/n, a spell on you! I would have loved to open up to you!", you stood there, with your arms crossed. "I would have loved to let you in!" You both began to breathe heavily, "But your friends... they've already opened that judgmental shitty door called my past and you just let them do that to you-"
"What are you talking about-"
"I'm talking about the fact that they control you-"
"They do not control me! I love my friends, but I am my own person! I love talking to you! You're your own person!"
You are interrupted by his loud sigh, "You don't get it-"
"Then, help me understand!"
You both stood there, staring at each other's first green eyes. In the middle of the practically empty parking lot, out of breath, "You said it yourself... you never will." as he spoke softly, he reached over to grab his coat from your hand.
You blink rapidly, letting him walk away.
But you realized as he got into his car, he never looked back.
And you realized you were just another closed door, as he drove off, from his past.
short I know, I'm sorry, I can make a part 3 where "you" go to the party? comment :)))))
