i looked around the airport while i was waiting. scanning around the area, my eyes landed on a man sitting on the waiting chairs wearing sunglasses and a long trench coat. i tilted my head, what kind of person wears such a long coat in such hot weather?

he pulled his sunglasses down and sent me a smirk.

my body froze, my limbs going rigid as i stared at the sight infront of me

it was brent.

i started to panic, i looked around for someone to help but no one was paying attention. everhone was so busy in their own conversations and my body was frozen.

i felt a panic attack coming on.

i suddenly couldn't breathe

my stalker was now going to follow me wherever i went, i wasn't safe anymore.

my eyes landed on grayson who looked back to me, he noticed i was clearly having a panic attack so he slowly walked over.

"what happened now?" he whispered, a slight tinge of annoyance laced in his tone.

i tried to speak but nothing came out.

instead, my eyes stayed focused on brent who seemed to be analyzing grayson from head to toe. grayson followed my gaze, his hazel eyes landing on brent soon after.

his jaw dropped and he quickly grabbed my arm.

"come, now." he instructed, leading me away from there, he kept his arm around me until we saw alexis's family approaching.

just great.

"ohmygosh" alexis's mom, sharon, squealed as she englufed my mom into a giant bear hug.

i could see alexis awkwardly waking towards me, i stepped back and remembered that grayson still had his arm around me.

i looked behind me and saw that he was on his phone. my eyes scanned the area for brent again but he was gone. i saw security standing at the place he had just been sitting.

my optimistic side wanted me to believe that they had gotten him.

i prayed they had

i looked back at grayson, not wanting to interact with alexis, i decided to analyze his face

his face was glowing, his skin was flawless and his hazel eyes sparkled without any light. i  could stare into them all day.

he looked up from his phone causing me to jump slightly, i whipped my head around and faces the others.

why am i like this?

my cheeks flushed a bright shade of pink, embarrassment over taking me as i looked to the floor and prayed he hadn't seen me staring

"oh sorry" i heard him say, he took his hand off my shoulders and stuffed it in his pocket. the feeling of his hand on mine lingered on my skin, i missed it already.

"hi" alexis said shortly, i looked up and saw her standing in front of me examining her nails.

some disrespect she's showing.

i stayed silent and felt a nudge from behind me, i looked back and saw grayson picking up his stuff. he glanced at me and saw alexis so he walked over to ethan and abby.

great, thanks gray!

"you seem to be busy these days" she piped up, brushing off her nails and looking up at me.
