scarlett's p.o.v|

i woke up in grayson's bed alone, rubbing my eyes and sitting up i realized we fell asleep watching tv.

i heard soft giggles coming from downstairs. confused, i got out of the bed and leaving the bedroom and towards the stairs only to see ethan and her.
my heart sunk into my chest as i watched them chase each other around.
i suddenly felt a hand on my back it made me jump a little until i saw it was just grayson.
"let's go somewhere else okay?" he said looking behind me.
all i did was nod my head and follow him down the steps
the room went silent when they saw i was here i kept my head down while heading to the door waiting for gray to get the keys
i felt his eyes on me but i tried to ignore it and hold back my tears.
"let's go" gray said pushing me gently out the door.
he closed the door behind him and we walked to his car.
once we got in i told him we needed to go to my house so i can shower and all that great stuff.

the ride home was quiet besides the music that was playing at a low volume.
my thoughts were focused on ethan.
on how happy he was without me.
it was killing me to see them so happy together.

i couldn't hold back my tears anymore and im sure grayson saw because he put his hand on my thigh in a comforting way telling me it was going to be okay.

but is it?
is it going to get better?

"grayson i can't keep doing this"i said choking on my words
"shh,no don't say that scar listen when we get to your house i want you to change into something nice.im going to help take your mind off of things okay"
i nodded my head give a small smile
he was always so sweet to me.
always making me feel better during hard times.
he is literally the best person to have as a friend.

once we arrived at my house i noticed my mom wasn't home.
we hopped out the car and walked inside my house.
"go do what you need to do i'll stay downstairs" grayson said.
"okay"
i replied,quickly walking up the steps and into my room.
i grabbed white thrasher shirt with a plain pair of black ripped jeans.

i took a quick ten minute shower and got dressed.
i straightened my hair out and slid on a pair of shoes.
i walked down the steps seeing gray on his phone.
typical.
"im ready" i said giving a small smile.
"alrighty then" he turned off his phone smiling at me.

a few hours later |

gray and i spent the day at an amusement park going on rides and eating a lot of cotton candy.
we laughed and made good memories today.
we were in the car singing to our favorite songs and sharing our most embarrassing moments.

"remember when you your skittles at that one girl at school and told her to taste the rainbow" grayson said practically in tears.
"oh my gosh she was such a bitch" i laughing along with him.

this is what we do.
we take each other places when they feel upset and make them feel special.
or other times we just watch netflix all night together.
i couldn't ask for a better friend.

grayson's p.o.v |

she is beautiful.

her laugh is contagious.
her smile lights up the room.
she was just amazing.
she doesn't deserve the pain ethan caused her.
yes i understand he is my brother but you don't go and break someone's heart and then move onto someone new as if there was no love there.
he left her confused.

but i was there for her.
when she needed a laugh.
when she needed a shoulder to cry on.
when she needed a friend.
when she needed someone the most it was always me that was there.

i like her i really do.
but she only sees us as friends.
i want to be more to her.
i want to call her mine.
but she loves my brother and i won't get in between that.

"gray are you good?" she said placing her hand on mine.
god i love when she calls me that.
"im fine" i smile at her.
"good"she said looking out her window.

we just sat in silence for the rest of the ride. not an awkward kind of silence a comfortable one.
we drove around the city admiring all the lights and people.
i saw her smile lightly which made me smile.
this sure will be a day to remember.

scarlett's p.o.v |

the crowd reminded me of ethan and i. all the nights we spent hand in hand walking around. the days we took many pictures together and the laughs we shared.
it was the time of my life.

grayson always knew i liked the city.
the view always took my breath away.
i don't know what about it makes me so intrigued but it just has this thing that makes me feel happy.
"you wanna go ahead and head home" grayson said knocking me out my thoughts.
"yea sure" i replied.

once we got to my house i thanked gray for another amazing day.
but i didn't want this day to end.
so i asked him
"g-gray would you like to stay over tonight? i mean you don't have to if you don't want to because i completely understand-"
"shut up and let's go" he said laughing.

i smiled brightly at him.
his laugh is contagious.
"last one in the house is a rotten egg" i said running to the door.
"you're such a kid" he said chasing after me.
let's just say i beat him because im great.

we sat in my room turning on the tv.
"do you still have my clothes from last time" he asked.
i pointed over to my closet while getting out my pajamas.
i went into the bathroom to change and came out once i knew grayson was done changing as well.

we sat in my bed just talking about our future.
"don't forget me okay" i said looking at him in the eyes.
"i would never" he looked down at my lips.
"gray"
"im sorry scar" he said looking at the floor.
"it's fine let's just put in a movie and try to get some rest we have school in the morning.
"okay" he grabbed the remote and put on a movie.
"goodnight gray" i said.
"goodnight scar" he whispered.
