grayson

me
okay, let me put on makeup and stuff so i can actually look like a girl

grayson
u dont need it but okayyy hurry up

i put down my phone and sighed, time to cover up the marks jack left.

i walked into my bathroom and grabbed my most full coverage foundation, and concealer. i applied my foundation regularly, but added a shit ton of concealer to my purple cheek. as i dabbed the makeup in with my beauty blender, i winced at the slight sting i felt every time i pressed in my makeup. when i completed that, i used a foundation powder to set my face instead of translucent powder, for more coverage. i then applied a lot of concealer to my neck and collar bone, then set it with foundation powder. after i was satisfied with how my face and neck looked, i continued to do my normal makeup routine.

i put on the baggiest, most coverage clothing i have; a big thrasher sweatshirt with my adidas sweat pants. i put on my nmd's, which im probably going to have to sell soon for money, and started to make my way out.

as i grabbed aidens car keys and walked outside, my phone dinged, indicating i got a text.

i looked down at my phone and saw a text from grayson.

grayson
don't bring kathryn, just u :)

i smiled to myself, and hopped in aidens car.

"lets hope he doesn't see these." i said to myself, examining the cuts on my wrist.

i pulled the sleeves of my sweatshirt all the way down, and began to drive to graysons.

-
"hey scarlett!" grayson answered the door.

he gave me a hug, and then unexpectedly, placed a kiss on my forehead.

"hi." i responded, a huge smile appearing on my face.

we walked into his kitchen, where i was greeted by lisa.

"hi mrs.dolan, it's so good seeing you again." i said politely.

"oh scarlett, same here! grayson has told me a lot about you since i last saw you." she smiled/smirked, and pulled me into a hug.

"hmm, like what?" i laughed.

she pulled away from the hug and held onto my shoulders, "all good things, don't worry."

"okay mom, that's enough." grayson chimed in on our conversation.

he grabbed my hand, and lightly tugged me away from his mom.

"she's so embarrassing." he muttered, walking up the stairs.

"she's funny to me." i shrugged.

"well, i just wanted to clarify that the things i said about you are all good things."

"well, id hope so. what have you said?"

"you know, the usual."

"the usual?"

"like your nice and stuff, that's all."

"yeah, i bet."

he looked at me and jokingly rolled his eyes, earning a laugh from me.

"have i ever told you i like your laugh?" he asked.

"yeah, the first time we ever talked."

"oh yeah, i remember that."

"me too."

he led me to his room, where ethan was already lying on graysons bed.

"bro, what are you doing?" grayson asked.

"waiting for scarlett to get- oh, here she is." he smiled.

"hey ethan."

"hey scarlett."

"can you please leave?" grayson asked.

"why, are y'all gonna fuck or something?" ethan laughed.

hearing that immediately made me sad, thinking of last nights events with jack. i pressed my hand to my cheek, and had to hold back a tear that made its way to my eyes.

"no ethan, jesus." grayson said back.

"ethan can stay." i chimed in, earning a look from grayson.

"see, scarlett likes me."

grayson let out a groan, and then sat on his bed next to ethan.

"okay fine, but what do y'all want to do?"
