~DAY SIX~
I wake up suddenly and feel my surroundings. It's cold... not exactly freezing, but cold. I look at my laying body and realize I have a leather jacket on me.. Grayson's leather jacket. I sniff and could smell the scent of both weed and cologne, it smells oddly nice, just like him. I snuggle against it and then realize that I passed out on Grayson's lap the other day. I look around the room and, just as I expected, no sign of Grayson except for his jacket.
I decide to wear the jacket with skinny jeans and heels. I wear my hair straight down with red lipstick. I walk down the stairs, feeling cute and enter the kitchen. I spot Leila drinking coffee with Ethan, both exchanging shocked looks.
"Wow, lookin' good layna." Leila tells me as she twirls me and gives me a big hug. I smile a little and fix my glasses.
"How'd you sleep?" Ethan asks me.
"Mmm, well you two made so much damn noise."
Ethan and Leila exchanged a loving smile and it made my heart hurt. They're such a cute couple.... I honestly don't know if I'll ever get myself a man like that.
"Hey Leila, Im gonna go out to meet a few friends I'll be home before 8." Jaxon yells from the living room. Leila rolls her eyes and sits down.
"Uhm... I am going to go get pizza--"
"PLEASE no pineapple. please!" Leila begs.
"Awe, c'mon pineapple totally belongs on pizza. Gray and I LOvE pineapple pizza." Ethan says.
"Fine, half and half." Leila says and Ethan nods.
"Ok then." I walk out of the house quickly and get into my car. I start the engine and drive off to Dominos.
Once I'm there I get out of my car and see Grayson, my mood immediately increases until I look closer and notice that 1) he has a cigarette in his hand and 2) HE'S KISSING ANOTHER F- GIRL. I almost barf. I stare at them for the longest time before they break their kiss and Grayson looks my way. He looks at me with his bloodshot eyes and with the most stupid grin I've ever seen. I smile, take his jacket off, and throw it on the floor. I suddenly realize that the girl he was kissing is Vanessa. I gulp and look straight into her eyes and she grins.
I feel tears prickle my eyes and I decide that I won't let them see me cry so I buck up and just strut into the store.
~home~
I enter the house furiously, sit down on a kitchen chair and eat my pizza. Grayson enters the house, his eyes normal, and sits next to me.
"Mmmm, I like pineapple pizza." He says.
"Mmm, you also like cheating and smoking." I say in return before leaving to my room. Once I reach inside my room and completely shatter. I begin sobbing and just looking at myself in the mirror. Of course he wasn't gonna like me, who would? I mean, Vanessa is a bad girl and extremely pretty... exactly the kind of girl Grayson would want. I'm laying on my bed when I hear the door open and footsteps enter.
"Alayna..." I hear Leila's voice say.
"Mmm?"
"A-are you ok?" Ethan asks.
"Your brother is a HORRIBLE human and I never want to see him again." I say through sobs.
"I knew that already, what happened?" Ethan asks as he sits on my bed besides my feet.
"Well, other than making out with some rando-chick after making me feel so damn special." I say.
"I swear to god-" Leila charges up and starts marching to the door, but before she can, Ethan exits the room and closes the door behind him.
~Grayson's POV~
I hear steps coming down the stairs and I get ready for Alayna to come in and slap me or something, instead it's Ethan.
"What the fuck man? Cheating is an all time low for you."
"Cheating? Alayna and I aren't together."
"But, you both obviously have feelings for each other. Perhaps you think of her as some type of object that you can play, but she's a really nice girl and she means the world to the love of my life, so either straighten the fuck up or stay the hell away from all of us." Ethan says in a low voice. When he's done I sit down and cock my eyebrow. Ethan swings at me and I catch him fist mid-air. I smile at him.
"STOP!" I hear Alayna and Leila yell from the doorway of the kitchen. Alayna's eyes are watery and her face is red and splotchy.
"Ethan, oh my god." Leila says as she rips Ethan's arm from me and walks with him to the living room. I look at Alayna, her eyes are filled with disbelief and her face with worry. She looks at me for a long time before walking away while shaking her head.
"Whatever, you knew what you were getting walking in to this relationship!" I yell, trying to conceal the pain in my voice. I smack myself in the head, what was I thinking? I care for Alayna and.. I want her to be happy with me. I messed up........
