Chapter 6

Ambers POV
I wake up in Hayes's arms. He looks so peaceful when he sleeps. He's so cute. His messy bed head is so adorable on him. I can't help but smile while looking at him.
"I know your staring" He says and I quickly look away blushing.
"It's okay don't be shy" he says turning my head towards him "stare all you want." He says smirking at me.
"I'm sorry it's just that you looked cute and I couldn't help it." I say looking away blushing.
"Don't worry. I'm all yours to stare at. Do it all you like beautiful." It got quite for a while till I broke the silence.
"Hayes?"
"Yes?" He asked looking at me
"Why do you always call me beautiful and princess and all that?" I say trailing off.
"Because you are beautiful and you are a princess. And anyone who doesn't see that is just plain stupid." He said sending me that cute smile of his.
"Oh..." I say looking away feeling the hot burning sensation of tears forming in my eyes. Hayes grabs my chin and turns it lightly, "Hey I didn't mean to make you cry... please don't cry."
"I'm sorry Hayes. Its just that..."
"No I get it. But hey, everything is alright now. I am here and I'm not going anywhere anytime soon okay princess." He says looking into my eyes. He then kisses my cheek and smiles at me. We then fall back asleep.

Grayson's POV
I wake up seeing that its already 12:30. I start to get dressed and do my hair. I walk into the kitchen looking for my keys when I hear Ethan,
"Hey where you going bro?"
"Oh no where." I lie. He can't find out about me and Amber. He would kill her.
"Well you wanna go hang with Jack?"
"Nah I'm good. You go ahead without me." I say doing our handshake we made up.
"Alright Peace"
"Peace" after we say goodbye I head to my car. I start it up and drive to Hayes's house to check on Amber. He only lives like 5 mins from me so it wasn't that far of a drive but I picked amber up a Red Bull because I remember her saying she loved them. I text Hayes to let him know that I'm here. He lets me in.
"Hey. How is she?" I say to him
"She's fine. She is upstairs in my room sleeping though. She gets tired very easily." He sighs
"Look Hayes I am sorry that this happened to her.." I say
"I know you are. But what you did was fucked up man. Like you messed her up so bad. And the worst part is is that you get to move on but she doesn't. She still has the scars on her wrist that are always going to be there as a constant reminder. She still wants to die.... I can't let her do that. She is so damaged and broken that I don't think she will ever be fully fixed."
"I am gonna go see her. You go out and do what you have to do. I'll stay here with her." I say walking to Hayes's room as he leaves.
I reach his door and I slightly crack it to see if she was asleep. But she wasn't in his bed. I then walk in to see her in the bathroom with a razor in her hand. She had just cut a few times.
"Amber! No you can't do this anymore!"
"Grayson I....I" I take away the blades and flush them in the toilet. I take her arm and dab it with a towel to clean up her cuts. I see her staring at me as I do it.
"Grayson why are you being so nice to me? If it's because you feel bad then it's fine just go."
"No no it's not because I feel bad.. I mean I do feel bad but it's because I-I love you and I want to care for you and treat you right and how you should be treated." I say sending her a soft smile. She begins to tear up.
"Grayson, I don't really know what to say. I want to trust you but I still have this fear inside me when I see you. It's kind of going away but it's still there. And this isn't your fault. It's mine..." she says crying at this point
"No it's not your fault and I get it. I beat you for so long. I can't expect you to say you love me. Don't worry it's fine. But I promise I am done hurting you. I will never do anything or let anyone hurt you ever again." I tell her. She comes closer to me and just buried herself in my chest crying softly. I hug her tightly and a tear slips from my eye. I whisper to her,
"Amber you are so amazing and beautiful don't you ever forget that." She looks up at me and kisses my cheek. She yawns
"Let's get you to bed okay"
"Please don't tell Hayes about me cutting again. He would flip."
"Okay but this is the last time you do it."
"Okay" She lays down and I sit on the floor just watching her. She so peacefully when she sleeps. She starts to wake up a little,
"Gray? Are you still here?"
"Yea. I'm still here." I say
"Can you come lay down with me?" She struggles to say. I am surprised she asked me.
"Y-Yea of course."
"It's just that it's h-hard for me to sleep alone.."
"No it's okay I don't mind" I say crawling into bed next to her. I keep my distance out of respect. She then begins to ask again,
"Can you come closer Gray?"
"Yea sure" I say scooting closer to her. She moves herself closer and lays herself down on my chest. I don't even realize it but I start to play with her hair. She fell asleep after and I soon did as well.
