No Matter What

Chapter 7

Lying down on my bed had never felt this good. After Greyson's team sent me back home, guess what? He immediately texted me this: 'I miss you already Eve!! <3'

I was at a loss for words. Feeling the softness of my bed under me, I tossed and turned, then sat up straight, before slamming back down again. Did he really like me? Or was he just treating me like his new best friend or something? Oh god, why was life so confusing? I started to type. 'Haha aww, I missed you too.' I hesitated.

Well, I HAD to reply something, didn't I? He was GREYSON MICHAEL CHANCE, not some other random guy which I wouldn't care about. Fine. I pressed send. Almost instantly, my phone vibrated.

Was it wrong for me to feel butterflies and for my heart to thump as wildly as I used to do when Chris would talk to me before we were together? I was really confused. Looking at my phone, I was right. Greyson had replied.

'Why are you so sweet Eve?! :'>'

What? He just called me sweet?

'What. I am not sweet.'

'Yes you are, as well as beautiful, awesome, sweet, sweet, sweet and sweet! <3'

'Noooooo I am NOTTT. :b'

What's this. I am actually smiling like a retarded person. Why did I get so happy over Greyson calling me sweet? And beautiful, and also awesome? What's wrong with me?

I AM NOT SINGLE I AM NOT SINGLE I AM NOT SINGLE I AM NOT SINGLE.

Before I even had time to enter a full fledged argument with myself, a voice rang through my head.

'Eveyn?'

I looked up. I hadn't even noticed that someone had come in. It was-guess who- Chris.

'Chris? Why are you here?' I asked. Crap, he must've seen that stupid smile on my face.

'Well, I missed you, so.. You were busy right? I guess I'd..' he turned around.

'No I wasn't! I'm free right now.' I said with a smile.

He smiled back. He made his way to my bed and sat down on it. I put my phone on the bed hurriedly. To be honest, I didn't know why I felt like I let him down somehow. It actually felt like heaven being here with him. There was no other place I'd rather be. But this feeling in the pit of my stomach was really getting to me.

Just then, my phone vibrated again. This couldn't have been a worse time, Greyson.

'Who's that?'

'Oh, just a friend.'

'Do I know her?'

'Not a her..'

'Okay do I know him?'

'Nah, don't think so.'

Chris peeped over my shoulder. 'Who's Greyson?'

'My friend,' I answered.

'Your friend who says he loves you and calls you beautiful and his whole world?'

My head zoomed down to my phone. I hadn't even read the message yet.

'I love you so muchhh beautiful. You're like my whole world.. Lol'

Shit.

'Are you.. Are you actually.. Cheating on me?' Chris' voice dropped to a whisper.

'No, why would you think that?! I'd never do that! I swear!'

'Then what's all this?'

'I.. I don't know, Chris. I really, really, really don't know.'

'Well maybe you need more time to spend with your Greyson for you to find out. Bye.'

After saying that, he just walked out without another word. Tears started streaming down my face.

I really didn't know. What it all meant. What it was all for. What I was supposed to do. What we had. I didn't know everything. I thought I had the world once I knew that Chris liked me back. I thought that I wouldn't ever let him go. I thought.. That he would never ever let me go either.

Was I wrong?
