StoneRidge Rebels

Friends?

Grayson's POV

As i'm looking for Nadia I hear a loud bang from near one of the balconies. I continue walking and there she is panting softly tears dry on her face, and her knuckles bleeding again. She went to hit the wall again and it hurt me to see her this way. I caught her wrist to stop her and she quickly pulled her wrist from my grasp turning her back toward me.

"What do you want," her tone nearly broke me. How could she make me feel this way. I had never seen a goddess cry though I'm sure this is as close as I'll get.

I smiled softly, "would you believe me if I said I thought you would need a friend?"

She just look at me . I wanted to know her. Desperately wanted to be the one she'd confide in. Be the one I trust just as much. Those nights I felt most alone... Have her wants to come for me. Claim that foul mouth of hers as my own. She was... Beautiful. Even when she cried. My little beauty of blood and sorrow.

I thought she was going to push me away, like I do so often to others. I realized I needed her as much as she needed me. Her voice the soft when she spoke again.

" I could use a friend right about now."
The Hope and fear in her voice made me close the distance between us. Pulling her into a tight embrace. She was tense, but soon relaxed. Her head was buried in my chest. I held back from holding her tighter as her arms wrapped around me.

Nadia's POV

His warmth was so inviting, I took everything I had not to cry into his chest. How could he be so kind when he didn't even know her. His scent was intoxicating, you smell like Pine and Embers like a forest really. I didn't know he was breathing after I wrap my arms around him it went from shallow to nothing. In that moment I felt safe and it scared me... Because I pulled away. When I did I just double up on his shirt. I cursed Softly.

"Im sorry."

He looked more concerned about me when I when he said "don't worry about it let's get you looked at k"

I nodded, and followed his lead as we talked.
"I never got your name," his smile nearly melted me.
"Grayson. But my friends call me Frost."

"Oh why Frost."  He chuckled softly.
"Well its my name."

Grayson Frost. I thought for a minute while he smiled at me.
"I like it,"  I chuckle.
He was so sweet makes me wonder why he was here.

"Do you mind me asking something personal?" Frost spoke softly pulling me from thought.

"Um.. I guess it depends on the question.."

"What's the story between you and Marcus ?"

My heart dropped. How was I supposed to answer that? It wasn't exactly easy to explain. Marcus left me with my sadistic fuck of a father while his life went on. He walked out on me..

"He's my brother.." I replied in a pathetically soft voice. He nodes and the rest of the walk was quite.
