All the Ways to Tell You

The JD to My Veronica (except without the murder or sociopath part)

I'm sorry for the chapter name, I just had to. 😂

Grey's POV

Grey was shaken awake by a nurse, the same one who had come in yesterday. "Good morning, sweetie." She said with a cheery smile. Corrie was already awake, rubbing her eyes and yawning. "Hm? Oh, hi." He said and gained, stretching. His neck hurt from sleeping in that stuff chair in a bad position all night. "Your parents called to say they'd be here in an hour." Said the nurse to Corrie. She nodded with a sad look on her face. The nurse took a tray of food from a cart she had and gave it to Corrie. She looked at Grey and said "Oh, I'm sorry. You and your friends will have to go down to the dining area to buy some food." Grey nodded and him and Ella said goodbye for now and headed to get some breakfast.

Grey got a subway sandwich and Ella got Panda Express. "So..." Grey said as he chewed a bite of sandwich. Ella rolled her eyes with an exasperated smile. "Can you please not talk with your mouth full?" He took another bite and stuck his tongue out at her. She looked away, disgusted. "God, could you be any more immature?" Grey thought for a minute and said "I don't think so," while still chewing. "Ugh. Honestly, I don't know what Corrie sees in you." She said jokingly.

      He swallowed and stared at her for a minute. Ella put her hands over her mouth, and quickly looked down and shoveled rice into her mouth so she wouldn't be able to talk. "She-wait What? What do you mean?" He said, leaning forward. Ella kept shoveling food into her mouth and didn't look up. He chuckled nervously. "Wait, Ella what? What do you mean? Seriously, dude, what? Dude stop eating and answer me!" Ella swallowed and nervously looked up. "I mean, it was kind of obvious. Are guys seriously that oblivious?" Grey just stared at her. Then he laughed. "No way, yeah right." Ella rolled her eyes. "Bruh, why do you think she wanted to go to the movies with you??" He shrugged "I don't know? Pity?" Ella rolled her eyes again. "She couldn't possibly like me. She sees me as a friend. She-"
"Dude stop. That's obviously not true. She likes you dude. She talks about you all. The. Time. Oh Grey is so cute! Oh Grey is so awesome! He's such a dork! He's the JD to my Veronica, except he's not a murderous psycho!" She said, mimicking Corrie's voice.

      He was about to speak then shut his mouth and pulled his head back. "Wait she said that?" Ella rolled her eyes. "If you keep rolling your eyes, they're gonna roll into the back of your head." Grey said, laughing. Ella sighed, exasperatedly. "Dude just-"
"Hey guys!" Both heads whipped around to see Emily carrying a soda cup and waving, walking in their direction.

      "Hey Em!" Grey called. Emily sat down in a chair at their table and took a sip of her drink. "So, what you guys talkin' 'bout?" Grey shrugged and suddenly became very invested in eating his sandwich. Ella smiled "I was saying how Corrie likes Grey." He looked up excitedly. "She said I'm the JD to her Veronica!" He said happily. Emily snorted. "Dude He was a murderous psycho pyro maniac." She said, laughing hysterically. Grey huffed. "She said beside that part." She slapped him on the back. "Well anyways, that's cool. Good job. I knew she liked you. Honestly, guys are so oblivious."
"That's what I was saying!" Chimed in Ella. They continued eating their food, mostly in silence for the rest of the time. They soon finished their food and headed back to Corrie's room.
