Seven | Cup

Grayson's POV

My eyes follow Alexa as she walks to her car, hopping in and settling inside.

It's funny, back when we were really close I used to tease her and "compliment" her a lot, and as for her reaction, she would laugh and take it as a joke. But when I smiled at her and said, "You still look cute when you act cool." She got awkward and turned red. Cute.

As she drives away, I walk to the lady behind the counter, preparing to ask my question.

"Yes sir, how may I help you?" She kindly asks.

"Hey, yeah, um, you know that girl who just left a couple of seconds ago? The one with some 'eth' on her cup? Why was her name like that?" I ask her.

"Oh, well, I asked her what her name was and she first said something like... "eth," I think, so i wrote it down, then she stopped then continued, saying, 'alexa,' sir."

I give her a small smile and nod, as if saying thank you, and slowly walk towards the door.

I swallow as I feel a sudden change of mood, as if irritated. My hands push the handle and I feel the breeze immediately. As my boots land on the wet ground, I couldn't help but wonder,

Why would she suddenly utter "Eth?"

I mean I know that they had something going on before she left, but, I thought it was a one-time thing? It was just sex. Something he now does on the daily.

She wouldn't fall for a guy like him now, right? I mean, look at him, he's the biggest fucking douche in this town. He's become a total dick, that I can't even recognize him anymore.

I'm not dumb. I know Ethan had a thing for her. It's the cause of this all, why he's like this. She left. She never said goodbye, she just left him in the air. Not even letting either of us know that she was leaving. I know she has a good reason for it, but Ethan didn't see it that way.

He doesn't deserve her now, he'll only hurt her. I can't stand the thought of him getting on top of her- thinking she's just every other girl that he fucks almost everyday. I can't let him break her.

I love my brother and all, and I want to make him stop doing this shit. All year round I've been trying to make him stop, but I eventually gave up. Now that Alexa's back, it scares me that he might get to her and hurt her, he can mess with all the girls in this world, but not her.

Alexa's POV

I pull up on the driveway and get off the car, grabbing my things and walking to the front door.

I pull my keys out of my pocket and unlock the door, stepping in to close the door again and walk to the living room to take off my jacket and put it on the couch.

"Mom! I'm home!" I yell for her to hear.

"Up here honey!" She yells back, stepping out of my bedroom door, showing herself.

I walk up the stairs confused, why is my mom in my room?

I slowly enter my room, curious to ask her why she was in there.

"Mom, why were you-" I stop mid-sentence, my eyes landing on the walls painted in pastel pink.

"Do you like it?" She asks, looking around as well.

"Mom, when did you do this?" I ask her, admiring how the color makes the room pop.

"You were away for a while, and I got bored a little." She says, re-doing her ponytail.
