I knock on the door and Ethan answer it. "Is he here" "He should be on his way home B I don't know when he will be back" I fight back my tears and grab my phone I call him but get sent to voicemail every time. "Can you call him please" Ethan then calls Grayson and what do you know he actually answered.
"Hey Gray Isabella is here"
"I don't want to talk to her E"

"It's okay Ethan I will just go" I walk to my car and I instantly knew that me and Grayson relationship is probably over. Before I could drive off Grayson pulls up next to me and at this moment I don't know if I should get out or what. I look at him he glances at me then looks away as he gets out his car and walks into the house. Okay then I guess I should just go home then.

I'm not very close to my siblings I don't have anybody to talk to really I don't want to just blurt our my problems to Hailey even though she saw me at my worse today I just really wish Grayson would have talked to me.

GRAYSON POV

Seeing Isabella today made me feel sad but I just couldn't bring myself to talk to her she was hiding something from me and I hated that she should trust me enough to open up to me. I sit down on the sofa and flick through Netflix trying to get Isabella off my mind. There a loud bang on the door I get up to answer and see Isabella friend Hailey standing there. "She isn't here" I say very irritated "I am not here to for Isabella and the tone of your voice says you haven't spoken to her you have to she needs you"

"I understand you her friend but I don't think you should get involved in our relationship"
"What's going on guys" Ethan says now standing behind me. "You brother is being a jerk to my best friend and I am here to tell him that he has to go to her she cannot be alone" "So why are you not with her then" "Because she needs her boyfriend okay. She fucking cut herself Grayson she has been hurting herself because of that bully bitch at school."
My heart drops at what I was hearing I walk inside grab my keys and get into my car. I guess I never really knew Isabella after all.

                               ISABELLA POV
Nobody home great I walk into the supply closet and grab the first aid kit taking out a bandage. I walk up to my room and start tending to my new wound. My anxiety and depression is starting to come back I have been so good and now I am a wreck. The bell rings I quickly wrap up my arm and walk downstairs I see Grayson on the camera, do I want him here. I press the intercom. "What do you want Grayson" "Open up" "you so demanding go away" "Isabella if you don't open up I am going to jump over you gate" I roll my eyes and open up the gate. I unlock the front door and quickly run up to my room to put on a jersey.

I sit on the top of the stairs as Grayson walks in he has a sad expression on his face. He closes the door and walks up the stairs sitting next to me. "Are you ready to open up to me Bella" my heart starts pounding I should tell him he has the right to know. I take a deep breath in and breath out as I place my hand on my heart.

I haven't always been this happy girl full of bubbly energy from a young age already I wasn't your typical kid I was very different compared to my older siblings I had always kept to myself and was always in this funk. I met my ex best friend Lindsay she was nice to me and all but she loved to throw remarks and always put me down saying you wish you were pretty or that makes you look fat but I took it as a compliment when we started high school everything changed I was the one girl at the school every single body made fun of. That's when I started cutting myself I became bulimic I was just not myself I had depression my anxiety was through the roof I would cry myself to sleep every single night."

He wipes away my tears and pulls me in for a hug. "Hey I am here for you if you need to talk Okay we are all here you Bella you should and you will never feel alone again" tears stream down my face as I start crying hysterically hating myself for actually cutting again. Grayson hold on me tightens as he picks me up bridal style and carries me to my room. "Calm down Isabella please" my body starts shaking rapidly and Grayson starts to panic. He hears the alarm of the door and runs out of room.

Suddenly I am surrounded by my parents. "Take a deep breath in Izzy count your tens okay. Come on 1,2,3,4, relax baby relax 5,6,7,8,9,10. That good stay relaxed stay calm go to your happy place" after few minutes I was calmed down my dad walks out and returns with a cup of hot chocolate. I glance over at Grayson just looking at me in complete shock. "Do you mind if I can have some time alone with Grayson please" both my mom and dad nods and walks out.

"I'm really sorry you had to witness that" "it's okay I am glad I was here now I know if you have another episode I will know what to do. What happened at school today" "They we're making fun of me for dating you and saying that I am a slut." "They just jealous baby just ignore them okay" I nod and fall down on my bed "want to lay down with me I'm pretty exhausted" he crawls towards me and pulls me into his arms I felt safe I felt whole even though we been dating for a month I knew I was falling in love with Grayson Dolan.
