I haven't edited the chapter so I apologise for some mistakes, it's 2am rn!

"Trust is like glass. When it breaks you can mend it back together but you can still see the cracks."

Jess's POV:

As soon as she left the room I threw my bag across the room, I ran around the room and picked up things and broke it while doing so making sure to not let my eyes water.

I stopped for a second and looked around while taking a few breaths before breaking down and crying. I started to furiously scratch my arms before they started bleeding. I slid down the wall and just curled up into a ball.

Memories from when I was alone during the first few months without my parents started to cloud my brain as I heard the door shut.

I was alone...

I quickly went into my closet and took out a suitcase and packed in all of the things I could get together in ten minutes while running across to my foster parents room to pick up my passport and a credit card with a wallet full of money.

It was time for me to leave, they wouldn't care if I left anyways right? I have only a month left before my birthday and they're not in charge of me. Wouldn't it be easier if I left them?

My thoughts kept on flying through my head as I locked everything up.

I looked across the room and found the photo album of my parents and I. I quickly grabbed it before running out of the house and calling Grayson.

He's the only one I can trust right now.

Grayson's POV:

I walked into the house expecting to be yelled at by my dad but found a piece of paper on the table.

I rolled my eyes before throwing it into the trash knowing that he had left again, just like he always does.

I stormed upstairs and entered my room to find Ethan going through the letters Jess sent me.

"What do you think you're doing in my room Ethan? Don't you even know what privacy means?" He turned away from the letters and faced me with red eyes.

"Grayson I'm so sorry for everything that I've done, after speaking with Jess yesterday and finding out more about how you felt and now reading your letters I now know the damage that I've done. I'm sorry for everything."

I stared at him in shock not knowing how to respond to Ethan as it was the first time he was being kind to me.

I wanted to try and mend our relationship but instead I messed it up.

"What do you mean you're sorry, do you know anything about what I've been through? Oh wait, you do now. DONT LOOK THROUGH THOSE LETTERS OK! They are personal and I don't want Jess's secrets to be exposed to strangers or as I like to call them the enemies." I took in a deep breathe before Ethan shook his head and and stood up.

"I'm trying as hard as I can to be sympathetic to you Grayson, don't push it alright." He patted my shoulder before leaving the room making me roll my eyes this time.

I picked up all the letters he dropped and stashed them away in a secret draw making sure that no one could access them again.

I fell back onto my bed before feeling an uncomfortable buzzing sound and vibration going through my pockets. I took out my phone to see Jess ringing me.

"Hey Jess is everything alright?" I asked worriedly as we had just met with each other a few hours ago.

"I just wanted to say thank you for everything Grayson, I'm escaping my house today and forever leaving this city. It's been nothing but a nightmare for me and now it's becoming more like hell with the news I just received." I quickly stood up from the bed and started getting my bag ready.

"What do you mean you're leaving Jess! You saved my life and now you're leaving it in a matter of weeks. What happened at home!?" She sighed before pausing for a few seconds, her heartbeat started to pick up the pace.

"My mum, well my foster parents decided to sign me up to a help centre which is basically an asylum for people who have ill mannered thoughts in their head. I can't live here knowing that no one loves me or needs me in their life." I ran into the locker to grab my passport and money before zipping my bag.

"I need you in my life Jess, even if we've only known each other for a few weeks you've helped make me a better person. When are you leaving?" The sound of papers crinkling took over the phone until she answered.

"I booked two tickets to go to New Jersey in three hours. Do you want to join me and escape this life Grayson." It was now for me to take a pause, I looked around the room seeing photos of my family from my childhood while slightly smiling.

My smile faded away once I saw the glass cracks in all of them which were made by dad before he left.

I needed to escape...

"Jess, I'm coming with you."
