"Why was that hard to tell?" i asked confused."Its actually hard for me to listen"

"That's not-"

"Listen Gray" I continued." Katie doesn't know about this. I might lose my bestfriend because of you. I mean you freaking raped her! It's been a few long years since then and by looking at your changed self i really think  i need to forget about it. You were drunk anyway. But still it's so embarrassing because i'm dating a 'rapist'."i said making that 'peace' sign gesture.

"What? You are embarrassed for hanging around with me?" he rolled his eyes back to his head, making his 'hurt' feeling fade away. Since i love him so much, i can tell got hurt by me saying that. Ugh, i take it back.

That's what i like. He is so strong he would not let ANYONE see his hurt side. He would not even let anyone get a glance of it.

Grayson's POV:

"....im dating a rapist"

She actually said that. My heart shattered to pieces when she said that she was embarrassed to hangout with me. 

"W-what?You think so?"

"No bu-"

" i know what shit i did back then, but i was drunk. Dont you get i was not in my senses. Are you seriously 'embarrassed ' to hangout with me?" i said in a hurt, angry tone.

"No gray." she sighed." it's hard for me. She's my best friend. What do you think im supposed to do? I love you. You know it. That's why i'm here. I hated you a while ago. But then i looked at you closely. You're beautiful inside out. Love has no boundaries, that's why im here. I cant control who i love"

"I love you too baby"

Alexis' POV:

Today was it. I need to tell her.

I walked into the dirty halls of the high school. Looking around for katie, i saw a disgusting sight.

Ethan had his tongue down another slut's throat. Poor Chloe. Why Ethan?

I stumbled towards my locker when good memories flooded back in my mind.

Those daMN times. Good vibes. When we had'nt seen the worst of the world. When we were the squad people called 'goals'. Me,E, Gray, Katie, Chloe. Ahhh, beautiful days.

We still had tension between us. Me and grayson were a thing even before the drama took place. We teased each other every time.

I looked through my closet. I need the perfect bikini. Ethan had invited us all to this place for swimming tonight, so it was like a pool party for the gang. Champagney night.

Katie and Chloe knew the whole thing about us two, so they helped me plan my outfit.

After a few minutes of picking and choosing, i picked out the most revealing bikini. which fit me perfectly. All glowed up for tonight, we drove to ethan's.

We got out of the car. 

"Ooooh hi girlss" ethan said flirtatiously. He took his arm behind chloe's neck.He whispered something in her ear and she giggled. There such cuties. 

I could already feel Grayson's eyes burning on me, but i decided not to look at him right now.

"I'll get the champagne" Katie said loud enough for us all to hear.

I nodded and turned to Grayson. Oh my god, i just  caught him starring at me. I chuckled.

"Hi gray" i smiled.

"Hi" he said rubbing the back of his head.

There was no one  in the backyard; i dont know where e and chloe were, katie wasn't back yet.

I got into the pool, already swimming, and he joined. 

"Wanna race?" he asked raising his eyebrow.

"Why not?"

We both got at a side of the pool.'

"3....2...1 GO!"

I was winning since i was ahead of him. He grabbed my ankle and pulled me backwards. we both were laughing hard and splashing water on each other. Katie was back, and the other love birds were in the pool with us. 

An idea clicked my mind.

I swam towards e,chloe and katie who were drinking strawberry champagne in those classical glasses. 

"So lets play this game" i said getting their attention. Grayson was at the opposite side of the pool looking at us. 

"I will sit on Ethan's shoulder and Katie will on Chloe's, and we will race." 

"Im down" they said together.

I quickly sat on ethan's shoulders, waiting for chloe to get on Katie.

I took the opportunity of them taking time. Making sure that Gray was looking at me, and of course he was, i bend down to Ethan's ear. 

"Let's do this thing" and said pulling his ear with my teeth,while my other hand played with hair. We both chuckled.

I looked at Grayson; he had his eyes shut, jaw clenched. Typical.

Katie snapped her fingers.

"HElLOOO" she said.

"oh shit" i sighed. "i was day dreaming"

"So whats up".

"I need to tell you something"
