Craving You

I Love You

                     Grayson's POV

  I took my keys and left her house with her trailing behind me. I opened the passenger side door for her and jogged over to the drivers. I started the car, "what up with you and surprises?" She joked, I shrugged my shoulders and drove to the "spot." After 20 minutes later we arrived at a parking lot. "What a great surprise" she said sarcastically. I shut the door and took her hand. We walked up a small dirt path, and arrived at the top, that overlooked the beaches of New Jersey. I sat on the edge with my legs dangling. I reached my arm out inviting her to sit with me.

"Is it a bad time to say I'm scared of heights?" She said walked toward me slowly, "bad timing but I promise you, nothing will happen." She took my hand and sat next to me, the sun was starting to come down. "It's beautiful" she said, I took her hand in mine. She leaned her head on my shoulder, "What's so special about this place?" She asked, "me and Ethan used to come here all the time and we just jumped into the water." I said, "ha, you're funny." She joked, "seriously, it's like being free. No worries, no nothing." I said staring at the water going onto the shore.

"If that was me, I would be worrying." She said, "it's only scaring waiting to jump when you jump... it's fine." I said, "what's today?" I asked her, "uhm Saturday?" She questioned, "do you mind if I stay at you house tonight?" I asked her, "you can stay." She said and I texted Ethan I won't be home.

The sun was fully gone and I got off the ground. I wiped my jeans to get off the dirt, I took her hand and helped her out. "Hey, Gray?" She asked, "Yeah?"

"Thank you, for all of it" she said as we walked back. "No, thank you for being here with me. I don't know where I would be without right now. Would my dad still be in my house hurting me? Would I ever move on? You helped me more then you think." I asked stopping looking at her, "Grayson..." she started. I put my hand on her cheek and leaned in. I felt her lips on mine and I felt her smile as our lips connected. "You're the cutest" She said to me. "Oh I know" I said, she jumped on my back and I carried her down the hill.

I drove to her house and we walked into her house. We walked up to her room, and we sat on her bed. "What do you want to do?" She asked, "two truths and a lie." I said raised my eyebrow at her. "Okay, me first. I once tripped infront of a guy I liked. I tried to climb a tree and I fell and broke my wrist. I don't know how to swim. Which ones a lie?" She asked, "well I don't remember you tripping infront of me sooo." I started and she hit me in my arm. "The lie is you don't know how to swim because when we were at the hill, you never mentioned not knowing how to swim." I said confidently, "wow, you listen to things." She said smiling, what is this girl doing to me? I haven't felt like this in a long time.

"Your turn" she said, I was back into reality. "Uhm I thought girls had dicks until I was like 9. I have 23 tattoos. I like cats more then dogs." I said, "well that's hard because if you like cats more then dogs we can be friends." She joked and she said, "I think the dick one is a lie." She said, "actually the tattoo one is a lie, I have 24 tattoos."

"Wait, you don't like dogs?" She asked, "I'm allergic" I stated and laid on her bed. She laid next to me, "Do you wanna go to bed?" She asked, "if you wanna." She said, "Sure" I said. She went to her closet and went into her bathroom. I waited in her room, her room had light blue walls and not that different my my room. I looked at her side table and saw a picture. It was her and two adults. They were her parents, I saw the happiness in her eyes when she was with them. I barely see that look, she was hurt, angry. I just can't imagine what she's going through.

She came out of her bathroom wearing a large black tee that was down to her mid thigh. Her hair was in a messy bun and she had socks up to her knees. She sat on her bed next to me, she saw the way I looked at her. She saw the sadness in my eyes when I see her sad. "You saw the picture?" She asked and I nodded my head. "I'm sorry" I said running my hand through my hair.

"It's okay, I get it. I usually don't tell anyone about them. I hate when people pity me, I'm not weak. Well, that's what I thought until 5 months ago. Grayson that was the saddest time of my life, the worse day of my life." She said with a tear running down her cheek. I pulled her in a hug and played with her hair. "You're not weak, if that was me I would not even smile at all. When my ex left I couldn't love for years. I was too scared of getting hurt again, Andrea you did that in a matter of months. You will always be stronger then me, if you admit it or not." She pulled away and looked at me.

"I Love You"
