Grayson

Me and Elle. Finally. I've waited for so long to call her mine. And now, she finally is.

But I just hope she doesn't find out about what I did.

I turn around and wrap my arms around Elle who is currently laying on my chest, asleep. I smile and watch her sleep.

She stirs in her sleep and her eyes open slowly. "Goodmorning, princess." I say softly pulling her closer to me, if possible. "Morning." She yawns.

She looks up at me and smiles. "I should get going. My mom must be wondering where I am." I groan, "Stay a little longer."

She giggles, "I really wish I could, Gray. But I have to get going. I didn't even tell my mom I was with you. She must think I'm missing or something."

She tries getting up but I pull her back down. "Just 10 more minutes." I growl and she laughs, "whatever." I cheer in victory and Elle just rolls her eyes playfully.

Me and Elle just lay there talking about random stuff until Elle's phone starts going off. I grab her phone off the counter and look at the caller ID.

Hell no. I answer it and jump out of bed and walk over towards my door. "What the fuck do you need?" I spit into the phone and look over at Elle who has her elbow supporting her as she watches my every move.

"Oh, um...yo. Is this Elle's number?"

"Yes, and this is her boyfriend. Anything I can do for you?" Rage runs through my voice. Just hearing this guys voice pissed me off.

"Well yeah, can I talk to Elle?"

"I don't need my girl talking to someone who broke her heart. And I'm not just talking for myself. She would agree now piss off, Jacob." I clench my jaw and before he can say anything else I hang up.

I throw Elle's phone on my bed by her and she immediately picks it up and calls Jacob back. "What are you doing?" I close my eyes and run my hands through my hair.

"Apologizing for you." She rolls her eyes and walks out into the hall.

Elle

I walk out into the hallway and Jacob picks up the phone, "hello?" I hear him say quietly.

"Hey, its me. I just wanted to say sorry about Gray, he didn't really have a reason to do that. What did you want to talk about?"

"Oh uh...yeah, about that, how is New Jersey?"

I furrow my eyebrows together in confusion, "did you really just call me to ask how New Jersey is?"

"Yeah, well, like how is the weather and are the people nice and stuff like that."

I laugh silently, "Yeah, New Jersey is cool. The people here are really nice, if you don't get involved with the wrong people. The weather isn't that bad, its hot and stuff. I don't know."

"Okay, cool. Is this dude really your boyfriend?"

I just realized he has never met Grayson. Or heard about him. I lean on the wall, "Yeah. His name is Grayson."

I hear him sigh and I can almost feel the sadness radiating off him over the phone. I run my hand through through my static-y hair, since I still haven't brushed it.

"Anyway, I got to go. Bye." I break the uncomfortable silence and hang up and walk back into Grayson's room.

Grayson is pacing around the room while rubbing his mouth with his hand. I stop him and he instantly looks at the floor.

"Gray, what's wrong?" I make him look up at me. "Nothing. I just-I don't know. Don't like the fact that you and Jacob still talk. And after everything he did to you. I just-hate him." 

I smile at Grayson, "You aren't going to lose me, I promise. Jacob just wanted to ask me something."

"What?" Grayson's jaw clenches and unclenches. "Just about New Jersey." I shrug. He sighs in what seems to be relief.

I peck his lips and he says into the kiss, "If I ever meet him, he is dead meat." I smile in the kiss and we pull apart and Grayson engulfs me in a warm hug.

It felt safe everytime. I could get used to this.

Grayson drops me off at home and I walk inside to find Alissa sitting on the couch with my mom on the other side. They both were looking down in what seemed to be sadness or stress.

As soon as I shut the door their heads jolt up to look at me. My mom's face immediately goes soft and she runs up to me and pulls me into a hug.

"Thank god, I thought someone may have kidnapped you." I hug back awkwardly and look over at Alissa who is mouthing something to me. I couldn't quite make it out.

"Where were you?" My mom turns angry all the sudden and pulls away from the hug to cross her arms and tap her foot against the tile.

"At a friends? I accidently feel asleep while we were watching a movie last night." I shrug and Alissa shakes her head in disbelief.

"What friends?" My mom asks. "Vanessa." That was the first name that came to my mind. Alissa looks surprised. I give her a look to know I was just kidding and she calms down.

"Oh okay. Then that's fine. You're off the hook, but just let me know where you are next time." She walks into the kitchen and I signal for Alissa to come with me to my room.
