everyone's jaw dropped open and so did mine slightly, i looked around at everyone, all the boys had their jaw dropped open.

leeane glared at me, scooting closer to grayson and grabbing his arm. grayson however, was just looking at the bottle, now lying still in the middle of the circle.

"today would be nice" jack commented, nudging grayson forward.

"what's with the tension?" alex asked, raising a brow as he looked from me to grayson and back

"chill, it's just a little peck like aaron's" ethan explained, everyone seemed to agree.

"fuck this!" grayson muttered, trying to standup,

"you're such a wimp" aaron and jack teased.

he glared at them and hesitantly sat back down. i felt my cheeks turn intensely hot and red,

"can y'all get this over with already?" alex huffed, crossing his arms across his chest.

grayson leaned in and i did too. soon our lips were touching, it was like fireworks exploding everywhere, my heart was racing and i enjoyed every moment of it.

grayson didn't pull away either,

well until

"i think that's good" alex piped up, practically pulling grayson away. my cheeks were on fire and grayson's face was unreadable.

i got up, i couldn't look at him anymore

"where are you going ash?" ethan asked, following me to the door.

"home" i replied shortly, waving goodbye.

"but-" he started, but i was already down the driveway.

i decided to walk so i could go over the events of the night

i never thought in a million years that grayson would ever even come that close to me, but what i was feeling was clearly not hatred.

i have to admit, i liked the kiss.

more like, i loved it.

i got to my house and went to my room, my mom told me to pack my stuff because we were leaving for alexis's house tomorrow

i had totally forgotten and she hadn't bothered to text me back since that one day.

i looked at my phone, 10:29 PM, i should start packing now and get to bed around 11.

i walked over to my closet and chose out a few shirts that i could wear there along with a few pairs of skinny jeans and a pair of leggings.

i decided to bring a sweater becuase you never know what the weather had in store.

i made my way back to my suitcase and started to fold everything neatly.

my phone buzzed beside me, i paused what i was doing and picked it up, looking at the ID.

grayson.

you may be wondering how he has my number. ethan had given it to him just incase but he's never texted me. he only agreed to since the whole accident thing happened

the message read: can i talk to you?

i paused and stared at the screen, not knowing what to say so i just replied with a simple answer.

sure.

grayson: meet me at the park?

ashley: my mom prob won't let me. im leaving for the airport tomorrow so i have to pack and sleep early

grayson: okay, can i come over?

i paused again, staring hard at the screen and a part of me not believing that it was grayson

ashley: sure

was he bringing ethan with him?

last time ethan texted me from grayson's phone so it was probably ethan.

i rolled my eyes and continued packing.

"ah my back" i groaned, massaging it. i had been standing for the past 10 minutes getting clothes out of the closet.

i sat down and faced the window, putting my forehead on the window and breathing in the somewhat fresh air.

i heard my room door open and someone walk in, it seemed like ethan

"hey eth" i mumbled without even turning around.

no answer.

i turned around slowly to see grayson sitting at the foot of my bed.

"wh-wh-what are you doing here?" i stuttered, shocked.

"did i not just text you?" he asked, a matter of factly, looking around

"i thought it was ethan just messing with me" i replied slowly

"well clearly it isn't" he replied, his eyes landing on my suitcase.

"what are you here for?" i was afraid that he was going to yell for some reason.

"was it that bad?" he asked, i assumed he was looking at my suitcase because it was a mess.

"yeah, sorry, i was about to finish cleaning but-"

"can i ask you a question?" he said, cutting me off.

oh god.
