I look over to Grayson, I promised myself that I wouldn't fall in love with him. Should I stay with him? Should I go home? No, I don't want to fall in love with him and have him break my heart.

"I really should be going home" I say and turn to look at him. I could see the sadness in his eyes.

"Can you come tomorrow?"

"I don't know" I reply getting my backpack. I honestly wanted to come back but, I know I shouldn't.

"Can I umm... have your number?"

"Uhhh, sure" I say while he hands me his phone and I hand him mine. After putting my phone number in and putting my name as 'Haley💙', I give him his phone back and he gives me mine. I give him a faint smile.

"I'll see you later Gray, bye Ethan" I say, Ethan moves out of the doorway I can tell he feels sort of uncomfortable and I walk out.

"Bye, Haley" They both say in unison. I walk out the front door and go to my car.

*Skip car ride*

I get home, open the front door, and see my parents in the living room, but I see them fighting. This isn't very surprising, they always argue. But this looked like they could kill each other any second.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP. I KNOW YOUR FUCKING LYING TO ME YOU SON OF A BITCH!"My mother yells at my dad.

"YOU KNOW WHAT I AM LYING. I CAN'T DEAL WITH THIS BULLSHIT ANY MORE!
"
"I KNEW IT, YOU DID CHEAT ON ME WITH THAT DUMB ASS HOE!" When I heard this, it felt like I got punched in the stomach.

He cheated on my mother?

I know they fight alot, but I thought he still loved us. It's what he always told me when I was a little girl.

But apparently I was wrong...

My dad sees me standing by the front door.

"Haley...." He says, but I just shake my head, walking backwards to get as far away from his as possible.

"Haley please, hear me out!"

"No! How could you do this to us! My mother loved you, I loved you!!" I point at him, still shaking my head. I walk out of the door and slam it shut behind me. I get in my car and start driving, I didn't know to where but I just had to get away.

I start to cry, which made my eyesight blurry. Probably not the safest to drive at night with blurry vision, but I'm not really thinking straight.

I just kept driving, I didn't care anymore. I don't know what took over me, but I drove to Grays house. I don't know why, but my brain just didn't work right anymore. I park in front of his house, and get out, slamming the car door.

I walk to his front door and knock. I'm looking at my feet when he opens the door. When I look up his smile goes away, and I just hug him and cry. He hugs me back and doesn't let go, he doesn't say anything, he just rubbs my back until I start to clam down.

"We should go to my room" I sniffle and nod. He let's go and takes my hand. He leads me to his room, walks in, and closes the door.

"Can we cuddle for a while?" I ask him, he nods his head and walks over to his bed. He lays down and I lay next to him. I bury my head in his chest. He wraps his arms around me, and puts his chin on the top of my head.

I feel like the warmth surrounding me could protect me from everything, and I never want him to let go of me.

I slowly start to fall asleep while I listen to his calming heartbeat.

*Couple hours later*

I wake up still wrapped in Grays arms. Instead of getting out of bed, I just stare at his cute sleeping face for awhile.

I didn't want to wake him up, so I slowly untangle myself from him, and walk to the kitchen

I didn't want to wake him up, so I slowly untangle myself from him, and walk to the kitchen. I lean against the counter and check my phone. 25 missed calls from my mom, and 17 from my dad.

I ignore them and just go on snap for awhile. I hear A door open then close. I look up, and see Gray standing there with sleepy eyes.

"Good morning" He says rubbing his eyes.

"Good morning" I reply. He walks to the fridge and asks

"Do you want bannana pancakes?"

"Sure, sounds really good." I say, realizing that I'm actually pretty hungry.

"Perfect" He starts to make the pancakes. The entire time I'm just on my phone and not paying attention to what he was doing. So when he sets the plate with pancakes in front of me it scares me. I jump back which makes him laugh.

"Shut up, it's not funny" I say with a giggle. I sit down in front of him and take a bite from the pancake. I look up at him and back down at the plate. I didn't want to be rude so I just slowly start to chew, even though it was really gross. I give him a smile, and then I gag. This makes him burst out laughing.

"I know it's gross, you don't have to lie" I instantly head to the trash can and spit it out.

"Gray, you need cooking classes. Like really REALLY bad" I stay spitting the last bit of food out.

"That's what I keep telling him, but he says he's an 'amazing' cook" Ethan says walking towards Gray and looking at the plate of pancakes.

"Should I cook instead?" He asks scratching his head.

"NOOO! I mean... I'll cook instead, I don't want to ummm, bother you" I lie.

"Suurrreee" Ethan says grabbing a water bottle. I grab the carton of eggs and a pan. I quickly make some scrambled eggs. I add some salt, pepper, and a bit of cheddar cheese. While the eggs are cooking I put some bread in the toaster. When the eggs are finished cooking I give them both a plate with some and when I set the plates down on the counter, the bread instantly shoots up and I catch them in the air. I set one down on each of the plates and give them both a fork, then I turn around to get myself some food.

"Damn, this is good" Ethan says with a mouth full of eggs. I just smile and take a bite from my toast. I look at Gray and see that he's already finished the entire plate.

"Gray!" He looks at me with his face stuffed with food, and he wipes the corner of his mouth with a napkin. I laugh and just keep eating.

*After breakfast*

I'm sitting on the couch watching tv with Gray while Ethan was in his room. While the commercials were on, Gray asks me.
"So, can you tell me why you were crying?" I sit there and don't say a word, just staring at the tv, start to tear up a bit, but quickly blink them away. I sigh and look at him.

"I found out that my dad was cheating on my mom..." I say, he stares at me blankly before giving me a hug.

"I don't want to go back to my house, I don't want to look at his face."
Tears start to form in my eyes again.

"You don't have to do anything you don't want to do" He says in a calming voice. He takes my hand and looks at me with sweet eyes.

"Hey I have an idea!" He says with excitement.

"You can come live with us!"

Sorry this is a shorter chapter, I didn't have any ideas on what to write about. Also, I'm not a good editor, so there might be a bunch of mistakes😂
