📞 Grac313 is calling. 🔴✅
"Spill."
I smile a bit. Parker left about an hour ago, it's Sunday now, and I knew I had to tell Harley everything.
"Our date went so amazingly."
"That's good." He doesn't sound enthusiastic.
"Then we went home and we drank some and then she started kissing me and I kissed her back and she moved to my neck and left some marks and-"
"Woah, woah, she asked you first, right?"
"I mean, yeah. She made sure I wasn't uncomfortable." Was that true? I can't remember. I don't remember if she asked me or not. It doesn't matter.
"Good. Continue."
"She left some marks and then picked me up and took me to my room and she laid me on the be and we kept kissing and she kept kissing my body but then she started unbuttoning my shirt."
"Oh, god."
"I couldn't do it, Harley. I couldn't let her, or myself, see what was under that fucking shirt."
"It's okay."
"It's not! I'm a freak! What girl is afraid of their own chest??!"
"You're not a girl."
I fall quiet. I'm not a girl. I'm a guy with a chest. And a period.
"You're just a guy that's stuck in a girl's body. You have a right to be scared of what is under your clothes."
"It's like Freaky Friday but I've been like this my whole life."
"Come over."
"Harley-"
"Come over and hang out with me."
"Will anyone else be there?"
"No."
I think for a moment, staying quiet.
"Ash?"
"Yeah, I'll come over."
"Okay. See you soon."
"Okay."
And then the line died.

I knock on Harley's door. It immediately opens like he's been waiting for me. He pulls me inside so quickly I stumble a bit but he catches me in a hug and I close my eyes.
Before I know it, I'm crying. All these tears just start pouring out of my eyes and I feel so bad and sad and angry.
"I'm such a freak," I sob.
He just holds me. He shuts the door and he brings me through to the living room. Sam and Ari are there and they just watch us for a moment before realising I'm crying.
"Grace!" They squeak in unison.
"Ash," Harley corrects.
They look at him and nod. "Ash!" They correct themselves.
