I Dug A Hole

PLAY THE SONG NOW—

THE NEXT MORNING—

I woke up at 5am and when I turned to the right, I saw Ethan sleeping peacefully next to me. I didn't want to wake him up so I removed his arm off me and I got up from the bed.

Quietly I tip toed downstairs and I tried to look for a phone.
There was a house phone in the hallway and I dialled Allison's number.

It rang for a couple of seconds and she finally answered.
"Hello." I heard Allison say and she yawned.
"Ally it's me Yaz."

"Yaz are you alright? What happened with your Dad? Where are you now?" She asked me multiple of questions when she found out it was me speaking.
"Yeah I'm okay, I'm staying at Ethans and my Dad....he's not coming back again."

"He Just Left?! Why?!" Allison slightly raised her voice.
"Because when I told him about Zack, he only cared about Zack so now he's literally abandoned me." I explained to her.

"What an asshole! So now he's gone now, for good?"
"Looks like it."

I sighed.
"Trust me when this is all over, I just can't wait to start getting drunk again and go back to not having a single care in the world-"
"I don't think Ethan will be very happy to hear you say that." I got startled by someone.

The phone fell right out of my hands when I jumped and I saw Grayson.
He was sitting in the arm chair, drinking a cup of coffee.

"Ally Ima call you back later." I said but I didn't keep my eyes of Grayson.
"Alright see ya."

I cut the call and crossed my arms.
"Why are you up so early?" I asked him and he shrugged.
"I don't sleep, I just grieve over how shit my life is." He joked and a smile formed on his face whilst he was drinking his coffee.

"So why are you up at this time? Couldn't you wait to have girl talk with your bestie at school?" He asked me and I just shrugged.
"No I couldn't sleep either."

"Why not?"
I smiled "To busy grieving of how shit my life is." I mocked what he said to me and a small laugh escaped from his lips.

"I was in the same position you were in a few months ago, I let everyone trample over me as if I was some door mat."
"What did you do to stop it?" I asked him eagerly.

"I stopped caring about what everyone else said and stopped involving myself in all the negativity. But here's a life lesson for your Yasmine, don't let anyone take advantage of you and by anyone, I mean anyone." He looked at my seriously and I wondered who he was talking about.

I stayed quiet for a minute and I heard footsteps behind me.
"What are you guys doing here?" Ethan came into the living room and yawned.
"Nothing Just.....girl talk." Grayson grinned and a smile formed on my face.

Ethan looked at both of us confused and he just went back upstairs.

I was finishing getting ready for school and the door bell rang.
Grayson opened the door and I heard a familiar voice so I went downstairs to see who it was.

It was Allison.
"Thought we could walk to school together." She said to me and I nodded.
"Sure." I smiled and she handed me my backpack that I left at her house from yesterday.

"Are you sure you don't want a ride to school?" Ethan asked me.
"No I'll be okay."

Both Allison and I walked out of the door and started walking to school, usually even after all the shit that happened I wouldn't go to school but it beat having to do nothing.

ETHANS P.O.V—

The second Yasmine and Allison left the house, I looked back at Grayson.
"What?" He asked me.
