Elle

Alissa closes the door behind her and I sit on the edge of my bed. Alissa joins and we sit there in a uncomfortable silence.

"So, who were you really with?" Alissa raises an eyebrow and I get all giddy at the thought of me and Grayson.

"I was with Grayson." I mumble and I hear Alissa groan and out of the corner of my eye I can see her shaking her head.

I look over at her and she has her head in her hands and she slides her hands down her face in confusion. 

"Why? Are you and him like a thing now?" She asks and my cheeks heat up. Alissa falls back onto the bed and lets out a high sigh.

"Stop acting like its that bad." I laugh silently and fall back on the bed by her. She looks over at me and I do the same.

"Its just-you don't know him like I do. He has a whole other side to him, and if you think that what you guys are doing now, robbing and shit, is bad, then you got a whole nother thing coming, Elle."

She closes her eyes in frustration and I gulp thinking about what she said. She could just be making it up. But why would she? "What do you mean?" I ask.

"He is dangerous, Elle." She says quickly. "How dangerous?" I instantly regret asking. She looks back over at me and shakes her head while chuckling, "You don't want to know."

"Yes, I actually do." I sigh. "You really want to?" She asks just to make sure. I nod my head and Alissa sighs in defeat.

"He is a wanted criminal. The only reason I never wanted you getting involved with him in the first place is because I used to date him. We go way back, middle school actually."

She clears her throat and continues talking. "Our relationship was toxic. He would push me around and it eventually got to the point where he would start hitting me."

I swallow the lump in my throat, not ready to hear all of this. Especially since it wasn't coming from Grayson, himself.

"I ended it with him because of something he did. I don't know if he still does it...but if he does, you need to stay away from him." I sit up and rub my temples and furrow my eyebrows.

How was I supposed to believe any of this? Grayson doesn't seem capable of doing anything that bad to the point where he is a wanted criminal.

"What did he do to make him a wanted criminal?" Alissa sits up and we lock eyes. "I'm afraid you'll have to ask Grayson that." She gets up and opens the door and we walk out. 

"I'll go with you, just in case." Alissa says and I yell to my mom that we were going out with a couple friends. We get in Alissa's car and drive off towards Grayson's house.

As we get closer I can feel the butterflies in my stomach forming. We pull into the driveway and before I can get out Alissa locks the door so I turn to face her.

"Whatever you do, don't bring up me and his past relationship. It will only make things worse." I nod and she unlocks the door and we both step out of the car.

I knock on the door twice and the door swings open to reveal a sweaty looking Ethan. "What are you doing?" I ask while laughing as he places his hand on his hip.

"Oh, me and Grayson were just wrestling." He says pointing behind his back at Grayson who was now standing behind Ethan.

He smiles at me and I smile back. All of us stand there in an awkward silence until Alissa speaks up. "Are you going to let us in or not?"

Ethan laughs and opens the door more so me and Alissa could walk in. I head up to Grayson's room and Grayson, Alissa, and apparently Ethan followed. Yay.

I walk in and Ethan was the last person in. I point at the door and he turns around to close it. I sigh and rub my arm awkwardly, wondering how I was going to bring this up.

"So..." Ethan awkwardly says making us all look at him. I sit down on Grayson's bed and he does the same, holding my hand.

I sigh and gently remove my hand from Grayson's. "Why didn't you tell me?" I turn my body towards him.

He furrows his brows and looks over at Alissa and then back at me, "Didn't tell you what?" He says slowly. I look over at Alissa and she nods.

"You're a wanted criminal. What for?" He immediately frowns and he looks over at Alissa and they lock eyes. Alissa folds her arms and leans back on the wall.

"What did you tell her?" Grayson stands up and I start getting nervous. "What she needed to hear." Alissa shrugs.

Grayson's eyes wander over to me and I look down at the floor. "So what if I am?" I look back up at him, "You're a criminal, Grayson. A criminal. What did you do?"

He places his hand on his mouth and closes his eyes in attempt to calm himself down. I keep pushing him to tell me and his shot up at mine and he has a dangerous look on his face.

It reminds me of that one night when he told me he had to tell someone soenthing because it was slowly killing him not talking to anyone about it.

"I killed someone, okay? Is that what you wanted to hear?" He yells at me and my eyes go wide at what he had just told me. I can barely speak and my heart starts racing.

He had this look in his eyes that made me wonder how many people he has killed, and this grin that made me realize, he's probably lost count.

I swallow the lump in my throat as it stays silent between the four of us. There's no way this is real.
