"Grant duhh." he sits down next to me.

"Oh you." I say.

"Most girls are happy when they see me."

"Well I'm not like most girls."

"What's wrong?" he asks and looks deeply into my eyes. "Why are you crying?"

"Nothing" I mumble.

"People dont just cry because of nothing." he softly says and grabs my chin and makes me look at him.

"I just....." I breakdown.

"Its okay." he pulls me into a hug. Why is he being so nice to me? I thought he was mad at me. He hugs me and starts singing softly into my ear.

"Loving can hurt

Loving can hurt sometimes

But it's the only thing

That I know

And when it gets hard

You know it can get hard sometimes

It is the only thing that makes us feel alive

We keep this love in a photograph

We make these memories for ourselves

Where our eyes are never closing

Hearts are never broken

And time's forever frozen still" He sings. I hug him tighter and put my head on his shoulder.

Grant finish singing and stands up and helps me get up. He holds my chin up and wipes off my tears Grant is so sweet. "Thank you so much."

"No problem." he smiles. Gosh I love his smile. "Let's go inside." Grant holds my hand and we walk in.

"Wait Grant can you wipe off my makeup please?" I say.

"Sure." His warm hands wipe off my makeup. "Okay done lets go."

"Thanks." I smile and he holds my hand again. We walk to our table and my mom sees us holding hands and smiles. Grant and I finish eating the chocolate cake while the rest of them eat ice cream. Our moms talk about hanging out more which is totally fine I love Grant's family. Grant's hand slithers into my knee and goes up my dress he laughs. I slap his hand away and Grant frowns, its the most cutest frown ever.

After we finsh eating we walk to our cars and my mom just keeps talking about going shopping together they go on and on. Grant and I walk behind them he holds my hands and keeps saying corny jokes nonstop.

We say our goodbyes and leave. I'm never going to forget this day. Grant is the most sweetest guy I have ever known.

I go to my room and take off the dress and change into sweats and a t-shirt. My makeup is so messy I wash my face and lay in my bed. I can't stop think about him and how he swooped in and saved me. My head is in the clouds I slowly drift into a deep sleep.

------------

I get up, shower and change into a pair of pink shorts with a Aztec print crop top. Today I just want to lay in bed and eat ice cream. I just want to sleep forever and ever.

I run to the kitchen where my mom left a note.

Honey I left you pancakes and I'm going shopping with Brandi today so I don't think you'll see me a lot. I love you baby.

Mom

Well I guess today is my day to relax by myself. I get my plate of pancakes and sit in the couch. There isn't anything to watch just romantic drama movies and shows. Might as well watch a movie on Netflix. I put on Grownups which is my favorite movie.
