Fake Love | G.D

[twenty]

I'm still in shock, I can't believe Frankie's dead. It was so sudden, he took a heart attack at work and unfortunately the paramedics couldn't save him. It's been a hour since we got home and we got the news.

Grayson said he wanted to go to bed but we're not sleeping. I'm sitting up with back against the headboard of my bed and Grayson is lying across my bed with his head in my lap. I've been playing with his hair trying to comfort him, he hasn't said a word.

I genuinely don't know how to help. Frankie and Grayson were very close, I've never lost someone I'm close to. I really don't know what he's going through.

He needs to be around people who are grieving, he needs to be at home with his family and Frankie's family. I take my phone out and book 3 seats on the next flight to New Jersey without thinking. It's leaving in 2 hours.

"Gray" I whisper hoping he hasn't fell asleep already.

"Yeah" his voice cracks, he's still crying.

"We need to get up, we're going to New Jersey"

"What do you mean?" he sits up to look at me.

"I booked us a flight to New Jersey, it leaves at 1am" I tell him, "so we need to leave soon"

"Why did you do that?" he asks confused.

"You're grieving, you should be at home surrounded by friends and family who are grieving too" I explain, "I booked Ethan a seat too, we don't have to go if you don't want to, or I won't come if you don't want me there" I ramble, I wasn't even thinking that maybe he wouldn't want to go.

"No" he says as soon as I stop talking, "of course I want you there, but we're flying to New York tomorrow night for your show we can't just leave"

"Don't worry about that, I can get a flight from New Jersey" I assure him, "but if we're going to New Jersey we need to leave soon and collect Ethan"

"I'll call him now, my phones in the living room" he says leaving my room before running back in to kiss me.

"What was that for?" I smile.

"Because you're amazing" he states, "thank you" he says again while running out to the living room.

What did I do to deserve him?

"We'll pick you up in 10 minutes" he's on the phone to Ethan when he walks back into the room, "yeah, hurry up" he ends the call.

"Ready to go?" he asks.

"Should I not get changed?" I suggest.

"No you look beautiful" he shrugs.

"That's my point" I laugh, "am I not a little bit overdressed?"

"Yeah probably but I like that dress" he smirks.

"Alright" I smile delighted to see him cheer up a little bit but change my heels for a pair of airforce and my jacket for one of Grayson's hoodies.

We have to knock into Mrs. Smith before we leave to ask if she can mind Marley for a few nights, after explaining what happened to her she said it's no problem. We rush down to the car and leave to pick Ethan up.

We land in New Jersey at 6:30am. None of us even packed a bag, it was so rushed. I didn't have time to take my pill that calms me down when flying but Grayson was able to keep me calm.

The weather here is really bad, the rain is pouring down and the wind is so strong bins and unattended suitcases outside are being knocked over by it.
