Chapter 11

Grayson's P.O.V

I hadn't been able to sleep, the events that occurred last night kept replaying in my head. I knew it was all my fault – if I hadn't tried to be the nice guy and I had turned down her drink, none of this shit would've happened. There was no way I would be able to go on with my life without her in it, so I had to come up with a plan, and fast. I checked the time, and it was only 4 am, so I decided to go for a run. I jumped off of my bed, threw on some shorts, put on my trainers and grabbed my headphones from my desk. I scrolled through my music before settling with a song and heading out the door. Ethan had fallen asleep about an hour after we returned home, and he was a god damn heavy sleeper, so I knew he wouldn't notice I was gone. I ran through the streets for about 2 hours, trying to come up with a way to win back Y/N, I needed her.

Jesus, I'm so in love with her. I fall even deeper every time I see her, and each time harder than the last. There isn't a thing I wouldn't do to make her feel safe. I had never planned on falling for her, we were only supposed to be best friends. But every time her eyes lock with mine, every time her hand brushes against my skin, I can't help the feeling of electricity running through my veins. Each day with her is another day I fall more for her smile, her laugh, her easy-going personality, and everything else about her. I had always dreamt of feeling a love like those you see in movies, but I had never thought I would one day witness the sensation myself.

I'm hooked... I'm addicted to her.

Your P.O.V

You couldn't stop thinking about him, and you hated yourself for allowing him to mess with your mind so easily. You turned over to face your phone and check the time – it was 9:30 am. You clambered out of your bed and headed into your bathroom to run a steaming bath. Your 18th birthday was tomorrow, and there was only one thing you wanted, however, you knew inside that you and Gray wouldn't be able to overcome what had happened, at least for now. He was the first guy you had fallen in love with, and so this was the first time you were dealing with such pain and loss; you didn't know how to handle it, and so for now, all you needed was time to yourself. Once the tub was full, you slipped off what you were wearing and got in. You laid in the warmth of the water for an hour or two and allowed yourself to relax. When the water began to feel cold against your skin, you decided to get out and start your day. You wrapped a towel around your body, drained the bath and brushed your teeth, before heading back into your room and finding something to wear. You didn't plan on doing much today, so you settled with some denim shorts, a simple white crop top and your white docs. You weren't bothered about makeup, but you applied your moisturiser and threw your hair up into a ponytail. Once you were ready, you went down to the kitchen to make yourself some breakfast. You weren't that hungry, as expected, so you grabbed some cereal, milk and a bowl.

After you had finished with everything that needed to be done at home, you decided to give Ethan a call and see if he wanted to do anything with you tomorrow.

Y/N: "Hey E."

Ethan: "Hey Y/N, how you feeling? I can't begin to imagine how hurt you are after what went down yesterday."

Y/N: "Pretty shit, but I'll recover sooner or later. Anyway, I didn't call you to discuss my feelings towards your brother. Since tomorrow I'm turning 18, I was wonde-"

Ethan: "Wait what! It's your birthday tomorrow?"

Y/N: "Yep, and I was just curious as to whether or not you were free to hang for the day."

Ethan: "Yeah, I'm free. Hey, how about this; we can go shopping today, buy you some shit for tomorrow, and then I'll plan the rest."

Y/N: "E, I don't wanna do anything big for my birthday. I kind of just wanted it to be casual."
