"Hey where is he what happened." "His in the ER he has a sprained ankle." I look at Grayson with a blank expression. "I drove here like a lunatic putting myself and our baby in danger for you to tell me Ethan has a DAMN SPRAINED ANKLE." He looks at me with a guilty face. "Gray I thought we were over this." "I got worried Bella." I roll my eyes. "Josh is in the car, you know." "So what must I do." "You so inconsiderate Grayson I thought we spoke about this." "What my brother got hurt and I needed somebody with me."

A nurse pushes Ethan in a wheelchair as he holds crutches in his hand. "B, oh B you back with Grayson. YEAH did he propose already." He laughs and I figured he was probably high on painkillers. "Shut up Ethan." "Gray you shut up did I ruin the surprise I'm sorry B please act surprise when he pops the question." I look at Grayson who looked anywhere but at me. Did Grayson plan to marry me.

"Hey is everything okay." I turn to see Josh. "Yes he just has a sprained ankle." Grayson very upset now. "Hey What is the abuser doing here." Ethan says pointing his crutches at Josh. "I think you can manage Grayson. Ethan I will see you in the morning let's go Josh." I pull Josh out before Ethan could open his mouth again.

"Sorry about that he is high on painkillers." "Figured that out." "You probably had the worst time with me Hey." "Not at all Isabella not what I was hoping for but so long as I saw your cute face." "Awww baby" I intertwine our hands as I drive to Josh house. "You want to stay over." "As tempting as that offer is my mom will have a heart attack." He laughs as we arrive at his house. He pouts his lips and leans in to kiss me. "I'm going to miss you cutie." "I will miss you more Josh. Talk to you tomorrow." He gets out and I drive home.

Arriving home I lay down on my bed and decide to text Grayson.

ME: Was what Ethan said true?

I get out my pajamas and go take a quick shower.

Grayson: about your boyfriend
ME: no bout proposing
Grayson: doesn't matter
ME: it does to me
Grayson: you happy so go be happy
ME: that hurt
Grayson: you so damn bipolar.
ME: how do you mean
Grayson: why do you care, you have a boyfriend so leave me alone
ME: Fine
Grayson: Fine

I wanted to throw my phone against the wall. I sigh and send him a text anyways.
ME: Night Grayson, Bailey and I love you

He reads the text and doesn't reply. I lock my phone and instantly fall asleep.

Waking up this morning I feel so relaxed. I grab my phone to check the time but instead I see a text from Grayson and Josh.

BABE: Morning my sweet angel. Hope you slept well can't wait to see your beautiful face today.

Grayson: I love you both so much Bella. I wish you
were in my arms. I wish I could wake up and see your face ever single morning. I want you to be the last person I see when I go sleep. I want to be with you for the rest of my fucking life, I need you in my life Bella I can't take this I can't pretend this doesn't hurt me.

I wipe away my tears and reply to my messages.

ME: Morning Babe. I slept well hope you did too. Can't wait to see your handsome face either.
ME: uhm Grayson, I really don't know what to say to you but there will never be a me and you. Sorry 😞

I lock my phone and get out of bed I head to the closet and chose a outfit. Damn I don't even know where we going.

ME: where we going today babe
Babe: beach will be there in the next hour.

I grab my lace cardigan, I suddenly realize I wore this the exact day I met Grayson. I place it back into my cupboard and grab a floral dress and some sandals. My phone goes off seeing a text from Grayson.

Grayson: I am willing to fight for you, I will wait for you Bella. Experience what you have to with this dude but know that I am here and I will always be here.

I lock my phone and place it in my bag I head downstairs to see my mom. "Where you off too this early Izzy." "Out with my boyfriend mom." "His no good for you Isabella." "Neither was Grayson mother but yet nobody sees the bad that his done to me because he is the best thing that has ever happened to me right." "He is good for you and can proved a stable life for both you and your daughter."

"So this is about stability. Josh can do the exact same thing but you don't want to give him a chance." "I will never accept that boy." "That's fine with me you don't need to accept him but I will and I will continue dating him whether you like it or not." With that I walk out and wait for Josh at the gates.

"Why do you look so upset." Josh ask as he opens the door for me. "Just has a disagreement with my mom but nothing important." He gets into the driver side and we drive off to the beach. My phone rings I see it's Grayson calling but I send him to voicemail. He calls me about 10 time before I decide to pick up.

"Yes Grayson."
"You didn't reply to my text."
"I am with my boyfriend."
"Fuck him"
"No fuck You."

I hang up and switch my phone off. "Babe you need to stop stressing it's not healthy for your baby." "I can't stop stressing while I am around this people Josh." "You can always move in with me." we arrive at the beach and Josh takes all the goods out the car. We walk onto the beach and lay out a blanket. "Your offer is tempting but I highly doubt my mom will allow that." "You almost 18 years old Isabella don't be scared to take risk." He had a point. "I will speak with them and then I will let you know."
