Elle

The front door slams open and I jump, throwing the paper in the trash in my bathroom. I hear footsteps running up the stairs and I hurry and step out of the bathroom.

I walk into my room and hear my room door shut and I turn around only to be face to face with Grayson. I sigh and turn back around.

"What's wrong Elle?" He grabs my wrists and pulls me to face him again. My eyes tear up and I bite my lip, looking down at the floor.

He places his index finger under my chin and raises my head and the tears start coming out of my eyes faster than a waterfall. He pulls me into his arms and I cry into his chest.

"I don't know what's wrong, but...its going to get better. I promise." He whispers into my ear and I cry even harder, knowing its only going to get worse from now.

"No. Its not." My voice cracks and Grayson chests rises up and down slowly. "What do you mean?" He asks, not ever letting go of me.

"Vanessa placed a letter inside my locker. A picture of you and a dead body, or at least it looked like a dead body." He gulps and I immediately know he knows what I was talking about.

"She wrote something at the bottom. Saying that if we stayed together than she would turn you in to the police. She has evidence, Gray." He rubs his hands up and down my back, calmly.

"That's not going to happen. I won't let it. We aren't breaking up just so that bitch can be happy. You mean the world to me and Vanessa is irrelevant to anything and everything that has to do with us."

My cries become softer as I listen to Grayson's soothing voice. "I've never loved someone like I love you, Elle Ray Christensen." I smile and start crying happy tears.

"I love you, Grayson Bailey Dolan. Forever and always." I bring my head out of his chest and run my hands through his hair. He smiles and pulls me closer to him, if that was possible.

He cups my cheeks and I wrap my arms around his neck. He leans in a places a small kiss on my forehead, then one on the tip of my nose. The next, finally, on my lips.

His touch was something that I don't think I could, or would ever get enough of. The feeling never failed to amaze me. Always makes me giddy.

We pull away, our foreheads touching, our eyes still closed. "Forever and always." Grayson repeats what I said.

I wake up in a car and its dark outside. I rub my eyes and look over at who is driving. Grayson. "Look who finally decided to wake up." I hear laughing in the backseat.

I turn to look in the back of the car and see Ethan, Alissa, and Maddie all cuddled up together. "Why are you guys cuddling?"

"Its freezing in here and Gray refuses to turn the heater up. Even though its the middle of January." Ethan growls in frustration.

"Where are we going anyway?" I ask looking back to look at my boyfriend. I would never get over how lucky I am to have him as my boyfriend. Mine.

"Road trip. To New York." He says blankly and I make him pull over. "You're tired. Get some sleep. Alissa will drive." I say and hop out of the car, along with Grayson and Alissa.

Alissa runs over to the drivers seat and Grayson shuffles towards the passenger seat. I get into the backseat and instantly cuddle into Maddie and Ethan.

I hear snoring as a couple minutes after we continued to drive and laugh silently, not wanting to wake either Ethan or Grayson up.

I look over at Maddie and see that she has quietly fallen asleep and Alissa is focused on the road. Its still pitch black outside and a couple minute later it started snowing lightly.

I plug in my earbuds and grab a pillow from Ethan's arms and rest my head on it. I turn on my playlist Spotify and 'Rock Me' by One Direction comes on.

I smile and turn it up, closing my eyes, remebering me and Grayson's first time. I drift off to sleep after a couple songs.

---

I hear distant shouting and slowly open my eyes, adjusting them to the bright light outside. I look out the car window and see Ethan and Grayson arguing.

I roll my eyes and rest my head on the pillow again. Soon after, the car door is swung open and a pissed off looking Grayson climbs into he backseat with me.

"Hi baby. Did you have a good sleep?" He brings me into his arms and I nod, smiling bigger than ever at how quickly his mood changed when he was around me.

"That's good. We are in New York right now. We will be at the hotel soon." I look up at Grayson, "Who paid for all of this?" He smirks and I punch him playfully.

"You shouldn't have. And for five people?" He shakes his head, "No, no, I paid for just me and you. Not them, they all got their own hotel room next to us."

I sigh in relief that Grayson didn't pay for all of us. I would have felt bad. "I didn't pack anything." I shoot up, almost hitting my head on the car door doing so.

"Chill, Maddie and Alissa helped pack cause they insisted they did instead of me cause I 'don't know your style'" He puts quotations in the air while making a girly voice.

I giggle and snuggle into him again. "Thanks babe." I mumble and he nods in response. A couple minutes later we pull up to the hotel and I take a deep breath, me and Jacob stayed here before.
