Elle

I had successfully bailed Grayson out of prison. The money was barely enough. I wait at the front for Grayson and he comes around the corner in a orange jumpsuit and he looks like he hasn't gotten any sleep.

He had bags under his eyes and his lip was cut along with his eyebrow, then I realized he got into a fight with someone. "Oh Gray." I mumble under my breath and he stays where he is at.

"Why did you do it? Why did you bail me out? You just ruined everything for me and you." He says, his eyes moving to the ground. I walk up to him and his head turns away from me.

I sigh and an officer comes out with a plastic bag, "Get changed Dolan. Then you can go home." He lazily takes the bag and looks at me before he walks to the bathroom. I gulp once he closes the door and run my hands through my hair.

What does he mean I ruined everything? Did he want to stay in prison? He comes back out and hands the officer his jumpsuit. He walks out the door of the prison and heads to Maddie's car. I follow behind and get in the backseat with Grayson.

"What do you mean I ruined everything?" I ask and Grayson shakes his head and looks out the window. "Grayson, stop ignoring me." I yell at him and he looks at me with a sad look in his eyes.

"If I tell you, then you would never forgive me, and I don't want that." He says quietly and my face goes blank. "Wait, how did you get all that money?" I ask suddenly. He keeps eye contact with me and Maddie continues driving back home.

"Mostly from Middle School." "What about the rest?" I ask on and he looks down at his fingers, that were fiddling with his ring on his finger. "I have a lot of explaining to do when we get home, but promise me you will let me explain before you leave me." He says looking back up at me.

I nod and he sighs, "I love you Elle, no matter what. I will always love you." He takes me hands and places them in his and I don't take my eyes off of him. "I love you too."

When we get home Maddie leaves so me and Grayson could have some alone time. He is about to head up to my room until I stop him before he reaches the staircase. "Where is the rest of the money from, Grayson?"

He walks back towards me and sighs, "Lets sit." He leads us to the couch and we sit down. "Now, please let me explain all of this." I nod and he gulps, his eyes getting glossy. He purses his lips together and then decides to finally talk.

"When you first moved to New Jersey, Vanessa was curious. She saw me talking to you on your first day and took me out front to talk to me. There we made a deal, a deal that I regret so fucking much." A tear escapes his eyes and I wipe it away with my thumb.

"She knew you were new so she decided it would be fun to play around with you for a little bit. She had me pretend to fall in love with you, and if you feel for me as well she would pay me $1000." My mouth hangs open and Grayson continues.

"I accepted, but we started getting closer and I fell in love for real. I fell for you, the girl I was supposed to not fall for. I denied the money so that's when Vanessa amassumed something was up. This is where everything started getting out of hand."

I tell him to continue and he fake smiles before continuing. "She started threatening us, she knew we were a couple, now. She got so jealous cause I was supposed to still be in love with her. But, I love you, and I wish we could have met a different way, but Elle, I-"

I cut him off and look down at the ground, tears threatening to spill out at any minute now. "I don't want to hear it. I can't believe you." The tears were now falling at an unspeakable rate.

"Elle, just listen. I denied the money, I feel for you, so hard. I love you, please don't do this to me." He pleads and I stand up wiping my eyes with my sleeve.

"Everything you said and did was a lie. Our kiss? It was a lie, it was all a lie Grayson. I thought you were better than this but I guess Alissa was right the while time." I yell at him and walk to the door opening it and waiting for Grayson to get the signal that I didn't want him here anymore.

His eyes are red and wet, his cheeks were puffy and his sniffles were loud and clear. My heart was shattered, this was all on him. He is the one in the wrong. He stopped at the door and grabbed my hand.

"Are we over?" He asks and I look away form him and I tell him my answer. I hold back my tears as I watch Grayson break down. He brought the back of my hand up to his lips and kissed it gently.

I didn't know what to feel. I felt sad, mad, disappointed, but most of all, broken. It felt like the world was crashing down on me and my everything had been snatched away. I was left with nothing.

I close the door once Grayson left and slide down it with my hand over my mouth the cover my cries. After everything, I thought he actually loved me. It was all a lie. The kiss. Our first time. The first "I love you." Our first date. Just for money.

My chest hurt so bad, I couldn't breathe I was crying so hard. The world had stopped moving and I was left there all alone. Forever. It was at this point that I had realized that Grayson was just another lesson that needed to be learned. He was not the one for me, no matter how bad I wanted him to be.
