Grayson's Pov
"Ok, Bye Love You!" She announces to the person on the other end of the phone. I overhear a bunch of rustling before footsteps start watching to the door. I remove my ear and make a run for it. I turn across the corridor in a hurry but stopped as I bump into a human.
Looking up I see a very concerned and slightly confused Ethan. He hand me his but I decline and get up myself. He slowly nods and puts his hand in his pockets. He looks me in the eyes as he begins to interrogate. "Geez Gray, Where are you running off to!" I panic and rush by him not sure I'm gonna be able to keep my mouth shut.
I hear him hum in disbelief but he continues walking towards his room. I stop walking once I remember that I left the cart at the door. I SLAP my forehead and turn around quickly. Peeking past the corner I check if there's anyone around. I quickly march over to the cart but I am soon stopped once again.
I look up to see Merediths beady little eyes staring at me. "What did you hear?" She asked me whispering since we were in front of her room. "What are you talking about?" I question her bluntly. "Don't act dumb Grayson!" She announced her voice getting louder. "I think I remember now, was it the conversation where you play with Ethan's heart!" I exclaim loudly.
"That's none of your business!" She yelps pointing a finger at me. "Ethan is my very close friend and I'm looking out for him." I reply not looking her in the eye. "Yea, right I bet you just want him and his microscopic-." She stops mid sentence due to the hotel room opening. "That's all the proof I need!" Ethan says sternly looking at Meredith.
I gulp and grab the cart running in the other direction. I hear the hotel room close as I continue walking to the lobby. I hand the man my keys and place the cart near him. I run off to the elevator and enter it. Pressing the lobby button I patiently wait til I reach floor one. I push past people and walk all the way to James's office.
I knock on the door to see him nodding his head back and forth listening to music. In one hand there is a sharpie and in the other his makeup pallet. He quickly signs that last one placing it in a box. He looks up making eye contact with me and begins smiling.
"Hey Gray!" He remarks giving me an open mouthed grin. I wave at him following his actions. I fully walk into his office as he pulls out another box but this one was empty. "Who usually brings this to your store?" I ask him as he signs with ease. "Magdalene. Why?" He replies looking up at me for a moment. "Magdalene isn't here today, but I could bring them."
He looks up at me with a confused expression before laughing. Still confused I stand there watching him. He stops laughing and gets my realization. "Oh, You're serious?" He remarks firmly. I nod my head with no regrets. "If you say so." He replies handing me a full box of his pallet.
I walk out of his office carrying the 2 pound box. I march towards the nearest elevator but quickly putting my head down once I see Meredith. She drags behind her a suitcase and surprisingly no remorse on her face. Her phone rings as she smiles talking to the person on the other side.
Rolling my eyes and continue on my journey. I enter the elevator pressing the second floor button. Waiting patiently tapping my foot to the beat of 'Surfin' by Kid Cudi. (Not Sponsored.) Reaching the floor my eyes widen in surprise.
The whole store is surrounded girls and boys of all ages. I grin walking towards the back of the store. My foot makes one small accident causing me to trip on my shoelaces. I tumble forward pushing up a cart which makes a loud screeching noise. The whole store goes quiet as everyone looks in my direction.
I slightly smile as everyone sighs turning their heads back around. My ease soon turns to fear as I hear a high pitched voice exclaim. "He has extra pallets!" All noise ceases once again as the customers look insane. My eyes widen as everyone runs toward me. I yelp as a very miniature girl tackles me.
Falling backwards with a thud as they tear me to pieces. My back making a cracking action as I groan. I watch as everyone tears up the box fighting over pallets over me. A sudden breeze of wind passes as my left foot shivers. I sit up quickly and begin looking for my shoe. "Hey, what happened to my shoe!"
I hear a bunch of rustling as a very chubby bald man runs out of the store. I stand up running after him with a passion. "Excuse me sir, you stole my favorite shoe!" He looks back panting as he runs into the elevator. I start running even faster regretting it as I fall forward tripping on a 'wet floor' sign cracking my toe.
The elevator door closes as the man heaves and pants on the other side. Muttering countless profanities underneath my breath launching the sign at a nearby wall. I slowly stand up groaning as my toe and back ache. Limping towards the elevator as I enter it.
Whilst on the elevator my phone begins vibrating. I check it to see a text message from Ethan. 'Come to my room pls!' It reads as my back pops back in place. Pressing on the floor to hotel rooms as I shut off my phone. Walking up to his door knocking on it with no response.
I knock once again getting no response as I grunt. "Is this some type of joke because I really just want to go hom-." The door swings open as I am stopped mid sentence. My face is grabbed as a pair of lips engulf my own. Melting into the kiss as the hotel door slams shut and his hands are around my waist.
Pulling away from the kiss as Ethan's eyes meet mine.
"I want to start over".
Welp. Come to my funeral please!
