Alexa's POV

Wednesday

I grabbed my books and shut my locker, turning around to face Grayson.

I smile slightly, heat rising up to my cheeks.

"Hi." I say slyly, staring into his eyes.

He grins, looking down to the ground. I admired his adorable smile.

"I have something to tell you." He starts, grabbing my attention.

"What is it?"

"I was thinking that maybe i could come over if that's okay and we could watch..."

Grayson kept on talking, but I couldn't hear him anymore as my eyes shifted to Ethan behind him, his hands gripping a girl's waist as they walked toward our way. I gripped my books tighter, feeling an unusual feeling as i looked as his hands around her.

He didn't see us yet, as they stopped by the side. The girl went into the restroom, and Ethan waited outside, leaning on the wall while he had his hands in his pockets, looking around. Soon enough he'd see us and-

My mind didn't have enough time to finish its thought as he met my gaze. My heart clenched, it felt like he robbed me of air. For a moment i saw a glimpse of the Ethan I used to hang out with, I used to laugh with, the Ethan I miss.

He looked away, walking the other direction, leaving his girl behind while she was still in the restroom. Soon the girl went outside confused, running after him and calling his name in her high pitched voice that seemed forced. He didn't stop, walking faster.

My eyes looked back to Grayson, and suddenly I felt so heavy. I'm not supposed to be doing this. I can't point out why, but.. it's just not supposed to be like this.

"So, what do you think?" He suddenly asks, and I snap back to reality.

"Huh?" I reply dumbly, not realizing that he'd told me something important while my mind wandered off into space.

"Is it okay with you? I come over and.."

"Oh-oh of course yeah." I smile forcefully.

"You okay?" He asked, concerned.

"Yes. I'm okay Gray."

He studied my face for a few moments, before he smiled and kissed me. I reluctantly kissed him back.

He smiles against my lips, and pulls away to kiss my forehead.

"See you later alexa."

I wave goodbye to him as he walks away, as soon as he's out of sight i lean back on my locker and close my eyes.

The bell rings and everyone leaves the halls to go to their classes.

"It's okay, count to ten." I mutter to myself.

Counting to ten is a technique I use to calm down. Counting gives me time to realize that I need to slow down and breathe. It helps me just clear things up in my head. I know, it's weird.

Keeping my eyes closed, i started.

"One." Relax.

"Two." Everything's okay.

"Three." You're not going to regret this.

"Four." You'll learn how to love him.

"Five." You'll forget the past.

"Six." It's going to be fine.

"Seven." Trust in yourself.

"Eight." You'll figure things out, don't worry.

"Nine." Almost there.

I let go a deep breath,

"Ten." I sigh once again, before opening my eyes.

Before I could even react, a hand covers my mouth with force and shoves me into the lockers, and my back hit the cold metal with pain.

I yelped in the persons' hand, the sound was barely audible.

"Shhh." He said, and I realized who it was.

My eyes wide, I stood in front of him dumbfounded.

He slowly dropped his hand by his side.

"Mark?" I asked in a weak voice, still unsure if he really stood in front of me.
