Backstage Season 3 *DISCONTINUED*

The Truth

Carly's POV
Right now Sasha and I are walking home since Grayson lives somewhere far. Grayson has been acting a bit weird lately. I mean when we're together he's always thinking about something and he always looks worried about something. I just want to know what's going on with him.

Sasha: Uh, earth to Carly.

Sasha waves his hand in my face as he says that and he snaps me out of my thoughts.

Carly: Huh, oh yeah! Sorry you were talking about...

Sasha: I was talking about the rain. What's up with you?

Carly: Nothing. It's just that Grayson's been acting a bit weird lately.

Sasha: What do you mean?

Carly: Well when we're together he seems to always be thinking about something else and he always seems worried about something.

Sasha: I don't want to be the one to suggest this but maybe he's cheating on you.

When Sasha says that I stop dead in my tracks. What if he's right? What if Grayson was cheating on me? I want to stop thinking all of these things but I can't. Why can't I stop thinking these things? No, I have to trust Grayson. He wouldn't do that to me. He just wouldn't. I decide to hide my worries.

Carly: I don't think so.

Sasha: Neither do I! Look Carly I'm sorry for suggesting it. He's probably not.

Carly: Right.

I say and I give Sasha a fake smile. I know that he sees right through it but he lets it slide and I'm thankful for that.

The Next Day
Carly's POV
During lunch Grayson and I are at a pizza place. Our food arrives and we both start eating from the same cheese pizza. I can't stop thinking about what Sasha said yesterday. I could barely sleep because of it honestly.

Grayson: You okay? You look worried.

Carly: Huh, oh I'm fine.

Grayson: Are you sure?

Carly: Yeah.

Grayson: Okay.

Then Grayson continues to eat his pizza. I just have to know if he is cheating on me. I can't ask him that though. After we're both done eating Grayson pays and we both go to his car. When we both get into the car I decide to say something before Grayson starts driving.

Carly: Grayson.

Grayson: Yeah?

Carly: Why are you acting so... differently now?

Grayson: What do you mean?

Carly: Whenever we're together I feel like you're not even listening to me. You're always thinking about something else, someone else for all I know.

Grayson: What are implying?

Carly: Are you cheating on me?

Grayson: What? No! Of course not! Why would you think that?

Carly: I know that you're keeping a secret from me.

Grayson sighs and turns his body to look me straight in the eyes.

Grayson: I'm not cheating on you. I love you. Aren't you the one who yelled at me like 3 days ago about this topic?

Grayson says while he kisses me on the cheek.

Carly: Okay, I believe you. But what secret are you keeping from me?

Grayson: You're right, I am keeping a secret from you.

Carly: Well, what is it?

Grayson: A couple of days ago I tried to talk to my parents about canceling the wedding and they did.

Carly: That's great!

Grayson: They did because, they're sending me to a boarding school in New Mexico.

When Grayson says that my heart skips a beat. I feel like everything around me has stopped and those words are ringing in my head.

Grayson's POV
Right as those words come out of my mouth I regret it. I know that I needed to tell her sometime but seeing the pained look on her face. The way her eyes look almost lifeless. I bring up my right hand to cup her face and I lightly pull her closer so that our foreheads are touching. I can feel her breath on my face. I lightly whisper to her.

Grayson: I love you, and I'm so sorry that I can't stop this.

I tried convincing my parents but nothing will work. I even said that I'll marry Bianca but they said that I need to learn discipline. It kills me that I have to leave Carly. Carly then whispers.

Carly: When do you have to go?

Grayson: In one week.

I leave 2 days after Christmas.

Carly: Oh.

I could tell that was all she could muster up to say and I'm okay with that. I just wish that I didn't have to go.

Hey guys! So tell me what you think might happen in the next chapter. Please comment and I'll try to update as soon as I can. Thanks for reading!
