You open his snapchat message. It reads,
"hey dtf? ;)"
You sigh and slide out of the conversation. You put your phone to your side and go to sleep.
-
You wake up abruptly to the sound of your phone ringing and buzzing. You were being spammed by, guess who? Grayson. You open the messages and they surprise you. It says,
HEY
HEY
HEY
Y/N PLEASE TELL ME YOUR UP
You answer him saying,
Yea, why?
Immediately he opens the message and replies,
i got caught smoking at this party
you gotta help me i cant go home and all my friends dipped
can i come over?
You think for a little bit then reply saying,
Why are you asking me? And why can't you go home? I can't just go pick you up rn its
You check the time.
(continuing the message)
its 2:38 AM.
He answers moments after,
no one else is answering and my dad would kill me if he found out i was smoking
You sit back for a little and think.
If I bring him here and let him stay the night I could have him leave early and no one would know. Plus I can't just leave him he's my responsibility as class president.
You decide to go and pick him up. You text him saying,
Okay fine. Where are you?
He answers quickly,
OMG YES THANK YOU SM
He proceeds to give you his location and you sneak out of the house to go pick him up.
-
"Hey!" You scream at him from your car window. "Get in." you tell him. He walks over and gets in. He smells like weed. He looks at you, his eyes bloodshot.
"Thank you so much Y/N"
"Yea yea, I'm only doing this because I'm your class president." You try and convince yourself.
You drive him to your house and bring him up to your room.
"Okay so here it is. You can slee-"
"Nice room." he interrupts. You chuckle a little.
"Hah thanks, anyways you'll be sleeping on the floor here. I brought you a sleeping bag and some pillows. Also, you need to leave about 7 AM tomorrow or else my parents will kill me. Got it?
"Yea yea I got it." He slowly goes to the sleeping bag, gets under the covers and falls fast asleep.
Well that wasn't so bad. You think to yourself.
-
You wake up again at around 3 AM to Grayson nudging your shoulder.
"Y/N . Y/N wake up." He whispers.
"What Grayson?" You ask him, annoyed.
"Can I please get in the bed with you the ground is really uncomfortable and my back hurts."
"Fine."
"Yes, thank you so much." He says, then gets into bed next to you. Both of you are facing towards the ceiling.
After a while you look over at him and notice tears streaming down his face.
"Woah, hey are you okay?" You ask him, genuinely concerned.
"Oh it's-" he wipes his tears, "it's nothing." he says, his voice shaky.
You think for a little then face towards him.
"You can tell me. I'm here to listen." He turns towards you with his elbow on the pillow and his head in his hand kind of looking down at you, since you were laying flat on the pillow.
"Really?" he asks. His eyes blood shot, and puffy.
"Yea I mean we all have problems and it always helps to talk about it." He takes a deep breath.
"My mom died when I was 15, drunk driver hit her. My dad raises me now. Everyday I come home he always tell me that'll I'll never amount to anything." He breathes deeply, his voice still shaky.
"I didn't always used to be a fuck up, you know? I used to try. I used to get good grades but-" he starts crying and lays back flat on his back facing the ceiling with his hands on his face.
"My dad always said I would never be good enough and I slowly got into drugs and stopped caring about school and-" he sniffles, " I mean just sometimes it hits me that he was right. I can never do anything right." He sighs, "I'm nothing." He turns back towards you with his elbow on the pillow and his head resting on his hand.
"You're not nothing," you tell him, "everyone is worth something. You don't have to have your dad tell you that for it to be true."
It's 3:37 AM. He looks deep into your eyes as you continue.
"You're special, you really are. You can do whatever you put your mind to. You don't have to have your dad support you. You can be whatever you wanna be." As you finish saying this, a little smile creeps up on his face and slowly spreads from ear to ear.
"That's the nicest anyone's ever been to me hah." he pauses and takes another deep breath,
"You kind of remind me of my mom." He says while looking into your eyes.
You both laugh a little together. He then takes his strong, sculpted arms and wraps them around you and pulls you closer to him and hugs you extremely tight. You start laughing as he laughs with you.
"Grayson! Grayson, let go I can't breathe!" You say while laughing. He lets you go, you are now inches away from his face. Your eyes meet his. He eyes your lips and then looks back up at your eyes as he slowly inches closer to your face. You close your eyes as he closes his and your lips meet his. Butterflies go off in your stomach as he pulls away and looks you in the eyes. He then takes his hand and places it on the side of your face and leans in again. He kisses you once more then pulls away and looks up at you and smiles.
Bing!
His phone buzzes. He reads it and then looks back up at you.
"It's my dad, he wants me home hah." He says with a nervous laugh.
"I'll see you around?" He asks you.
"Yea, you will." You tell him as he jumps out your window onto the tree outside and takes off.
