===== (Grayson's P.O.V)

12 hours. That's what I promised. 12 whole hours to show Y/N Y/L/N that life was worth it.

~Flashback~ (Y/N's P.O.V) [Time Stamp; 8:00 a.m.]

I let the wind blow my unruly hair around. Deep breaths couldn't calm me down. As I was about to take the step to my death, my shirt was yanked. I fall back into someone. Before I see their face, they promise me one thing. A calming voice,

"12 hours. Let me show you that it's not worth it." I turn my head up. A cute guy, no older than me, smiles sadly at me. I nod.

~Hour 1~

He takes me for ice cream. When we sit in the booth, he smiles,

"What's your name?" He leans forward. I do the same,

"Y/N Y/L/N. You?" He cocks an eyebrow,

"I'm Grayson Dolan." He shakes my involuntary hand. I giggle,

"Any siblings?" I take a bite of my chocolate brownie ice cream. He nods,

"I had a twin brother and a sister. The standard, a mom, a dad." He nods to me,

"You?" His nonchalance confuses me. I take note of his past tense, saving the question for later,

"I was an only child. My parents had a mistake baby that became my little sister. Then, on her 5th birthday, they decided to tell me I was a mistake. Her birthday was today." I smile sarcastically,

"So, what's with the past tense?" I didn't have to explain. He fixes his hair,

"Fire. Big one. Started because my brother was addicted to cigarettes. He forgot to put one out and the stove set it off. Everyone died, but I jumped out my window." He pulls his sleeve up, revealing a deep scar,

"Glass broke. I couldn't open it normally, so I had to break it." He shrugs. 

~Hour 2~

A lake. He takes me to a lake. It was deep, like a 6 foot pool. I shake my head,

"I have no bathing suit." I sit on the ground, watching as he strips to nothing but underwear,

"Come on Y/N. Live a little. You have on underwear." His eyes flash. I groan,

"Fine. But, turn around." He turns with his hands up,

"Frisk me. I'm not deadly." I giggle. When I get down to my underwear, I cover my body. He lifts his head,

"You good?" I exhale,

"Yeah. Don't make fun of me." He turns, jaw dropping at the sight of my body. He blushes,

"You're one pretty girl." I bite my lip,

"Thank you." He jumps into the lake, splashing water. I scream, backing away. He emerges, walking up to me,

"Come on." He holds out his hand. Cold water drops on me. I shiver,

"It's cold." He doesn't take the answer. He tosses me over his shoulder and runs into the lake. 

~Hour 3~

We dry off and he drives me to a movie theater. I smile,

"What movie?" I grab his forearm. He acknowledges the contact,

"Whatever movie you want." 

~Hour 6~

The movie took a whole 3 hours. When we left, I was full with popcorn and slushie. Grayson swings his arm around me,

"Where to next?" He looks down at me. I shrug,

"Can we take some time to chill? I'm stuffed." I squish his face unexpectedly. He smiles,

"Sure. Down to go to my place?"

~Hour 8~

I slept for two hours and wake up. I waddle out of the room I was in and into the kitchen. Completely forgetting that I wasn't in my house, I go through cabinets. I can't find my Ibuprofen. Arms wrap around my waist, Grayson's voice blessing me,

"You don't sleep long." I shake my head,

"You must be a light sleeper." I look at him. He shrugs,

"What are you looking for?" I quickly step away from him,

"Nothing." Guilt seeps itself into my veins.

~Hour 9~[Time Stamp; 5:00 p.m.]

He leads me to his room. I shake my head,

"Can't we go adventuring?" He rolls his eyes,

"We did that all day. I'm now going to kick your ass in a video game."

~Hour 10~

He in fact kicked my ass in Mario Kart. I get up,

"What's next?" Grayson stands with me,

"An odd request?" He fiddles with his fingers. I shrug,

"That request is?" I stare at the ground obliviously. He clears his throat, catching my attention,

"Can we cuddle?" He smiles. I contemplate,

"You're not going to stab me? Kill me? Harm me in any way?" I fire questions at him. He stays calm,

"The only thing I'm going to kill you with is this dic-" I scream,

"MY VIRGIN EARS!!!" I cover them and run around the room. He catches me,

"CUDDLE WITH ME!" He collapses on the bed and pulls me with him. 

~Hour 11~

I wiggle underneath Grayson's arm,

"One more hour." I flip to face him. He nods,

"Get up. Come on." He grabs me. I groan,

"But I was comfortable." I whine. He rolls his eyes,

"I don't care. We're going to this last place." He drags me out to his car.

~Last Half Hour [Time Stamp; 7:30 p.m.]~

He lays with me in the bed of his truck. I lay my head on his shoulder,

"What's this for?" I look up at him. He sits up, shifting my head to his lap,

"There's one last thing I want to do. Then, you can tell me whether or not I made life livable for you again." He motions for me to sit up. I do,

"What's this last thing you wanna do?" I sit close to him. His eyes scan my body. I bite my lip,

"Gray?" He makes a strangled sound. I freak,

"What happened?!" He blushes deeply,

"Yeah. No one's called me that in years." He scoots closer. He moves me so that I'm in his lap. He leans our foreheads together,

"Y/N, you made it worth it." Before I can say anything, his soft lips are pressed against mine. Shocked, I'm too scared to move. But, I relax. Everything feels right in the world. He pulls away,

"Did I make it worth it?"
