Part 13 - Getting him back <3

I stormed out of my room, and over to Grayson's. I knew he was in there, for I hadn't seen him all day, not even at breakfast.

I approached his door, and knocked on it softly.

"Grayson it's me, let me in."

"why should I Ellie?"

" I just wanna talk Gray, now open the door."

-Grayson's POV-

" I just wanna talk Gray, now open the door."

I was already on the verge of tears. I had been trying to avoid her for the past two weeks, hoping that maybe the feelings would go away, and I thought they did. But when she knocked on that door, and I heard her sweet, angelic voice, my heart exploded all over again. I wanted her, and she knew that. I just didn't want to get hurt so badly again. I had to have hope, I thought. Hope is the only thing stronger than fear, and so I got up and opened the door.

She was standing there, looking down at her feet. Her hair was curled in the most perfect way possible, revealing the natural highlights that streaked her hair. She wore a long red dress, with a slit through the side, showing off her leg. God damn she was beautiful. Now all I had to do, was get her back.

"hey"

"can we talk Gray? you've been avoiding me for almost three weeks now."

Damn, she was right. I hadn't noticed it had been that long.

"ya ya, come inside."

-Elliana's POV-

He invited me inside, it looked a little different than the last time I was here. The dresser with the Japanese art on it had been moved to the other side of the room, and In it's old place, was a TV. It was strange to me, as I had not seen a single TV from the time I got here.

I sat down on the bed.

"Grayson, do you wanna tell me what's really going on?"

" I guess, if you really wanna know."

"trust me, I do"

Grayson sighed, "After the time when I had to explain to you about the other Elliana, I got mad at myself, because I realized that I had just brought myself back into the same mess. I realized that no matter what, Ethan would always be better than me, and that I would never even stand a chance. So, I tried to stop loving you. I thought that if I just completely ignored you for a while, my feelings would go away. It worked at first, but as soon as I even did as little as hear your voice, all the feelings would hit me like a truck again."

" I'm sorry Gray."

"Elliana, you do not get to apologize in this instance. I probably hurt you from what I did, and I know damn well that I hurt myself also. I promise you it won't happen again. I love you"

With those last three words Grayson said, he put his hand on mine. My breath hitched immediately, as I had never heard that from anyone before who actually meant it.

My heart fluttered, " I love you too Gray."
