I could never seem to catch a break. All throughout high school, I was always bullied. I didn't have many friends but I did cherish the friends that I did have. I guess it taught me how to be strong and never back down no matter what. I moved out of my parent's house when I was 17. I had a job ever since I was 16, I knew I could make it so why not try. I hit the gas pedal as I took off from the red light. The wind in my hair as the music was blasting, a Friday night to myself. I was heading to my friend's house just to have a chill night. We didn't have anything planned but it was nice to spend time with them. I knocked on the door waiting for them to answer was like waiting for paint to dry. Grayson finally opened the door, his smile grew as he saw me standing there.
"Y/N you made it," Gray said.
"Yea I did," I said as I walked into the apartment.
"Ethan made popcorn, we thought we would just watch movies," he said.
"Sounds good" I nodded as I walked towards the movie theater.
"Hey Y/N" Ethan said as he hugged me.
"Hey E" I wrapped my arms around him as I hugged him back.
"Told you she would be here" Gray spoke as he enters the room.
"Yea so you can do nothing again," Ethan said as he rolled his eyes.
"What does he mean?" I asked Grayson.
"Nothing" Gray looked down.
"We are friends here, you can tell me anything" I looked at Gray.
"Its nothing" Gray shot Ethan a look.
I shrugged it off because I knew Gray could never keep a secret. Well not from me anyway, I sat down next to him. Ethan turned on the movie before sitting down in his chair. I leaned back against the couch putting my feet up on the table. Gray rested his arm on the couch kinda draping it around my shoulders. I took a deep breath in as I could smell him, I wanted him but I didn't want to ruin the friendship. Plus it was hard to read Gray so I didn't know how he felt if he even felt that way. I started to lean against him, resting my head against his chest. I could hear his heartbeat as I rested my hand against his leg. He wrapped his arm around me pulling me closer to him. Ethan threw a blanket towards Gray, Gray placed it over us keeping me close. I ended up falling asleep against his chest, with his arm around me. I felt safe, I felt as if we were the only two people in the world. He picked me up taking me up to his room, laying me down in bed covering me up. He turned off the light and got into bed as well. I found his warm body cuddling up to him, resting my head against his chest again. Hearing his heartbeat put me back to sleep. In the morning I could feel him moving as he grabbed his phone, I didn't want to let go. Not just yet I just wanted to snuggle a little bit longer before reality kicked back in.
"Morning" he groaned as he felt me move.
"Morning" I whispered.
"Have a good sleep?" he asked.
"Yea, sorry," I said as I sat up in bed.
"Don't be" he looked at me.
"I didn't mean to cuddle with you," I said.
"I enjoyed last night" he smiled softly.
"You did?" I looked at him.
"Look I know we are friends but I really like you" he swallowed as those words left his lips.
"I like you Gray" I spoke softly.
"You do? You want more than friendship?" he questioned.
"Yea I do" I nodded.
