Lost in time G.D E.D

Part 34

"What the fuck? Olivia! Gray!" Patrick yells and I wake up. I drop the burnt up cigarette between my fingers and look around groggily.

I feel Grayson shift against my back as he wakes up too. 

"You guys really fell asleep out here?" Arron asks. 

"I guess so," Grayson yawns sitting me up and brings me up with him. I wipe my eyes and yawn. 

"What time is it?" I ask. 

"It's lunch time. You two slept through drama," Patrick shakes his head. 

"You skip all the time too so shut up," Grayson rolls his eyes.  Tori and Steve walk out and I notice Sammy and Jake are in tow.

What the fuck, they never come out here? 

"Hey I wanted to come check on you," Tori smiles. 

"Why would you bring that bitch along then?" Gray snaps. 

"What the fuck did you just say faggot?" Jake asks him. 

"You heard me," he stands up. I whine and drag Grayson down onto my lap. 

"I told her to apologize to you," Tori looks at Sammy. 

"I don't want your apology," I stand with Grayson but keep my hand on his wrist. 

"Sorry Tori, I never apologize," she shrugs. 

"Stupid bitch," I roll my eyes and lead Gray away from the drama. No wonder half of the people in that situation takes that class. 

"Fuck this, lets go to my house, we'll pick up Ethan later," he shakes his head. 

"Isn't your dad home?" I point out before realizing as his "new friend" I shouldn't know that information. 

"Shit, you're right," he stomps a little. 

"We can head to my apartment?" I offer. 

"Your parents work?" He asks. 

"I live alone," I shrug. 

"Aren't you like, 16?" He looks surprised. 

"Yes, emancipated, lets go," I walk to his car. He nods and we leave Ethan at school.

---------------------------

"Shit, Liv, we fell asleep again, Ethan's gonna kill us!" Grayson shakes me desperate. I open my eyes and sit up looking around.

We fell asleep on my couch in the same position, the tv on a blue screen after a vhs ran out. 

"Hes fine," I stretch. 

"He threw an ice block at Patrick's car," he reminds me. 

"Then we'll leave him," I shrug. 

"It'll just be worse," he grabs his keys. 

"Do you want me to co-," 

"No!" He insists,

"I just....you shouldn't see E when he's mad," 

"I can only imagine," I roll my eyes remembering him literally lighting me on fire. 

"Bye Liv," he walks over and hugs me.  "Bye Gray," I smile up at him. He quickly runs out of my apartment and I look at the ouija board that Death allowed me to have back,

"Should I be worried for Grayson?"  The planchette moves back and forth between yes and no before spelling

"n-o-t y-e-t' 

"Thanks," I sigh sarcastic.

----------------------------

January 30th 

I'm in the car with them when they see the van that got them arrested. I hear them up front talking about it. 

"I think its unlocked," Ethan looks closely. 

"Don't you fucking dare," I narrow my eyes. 

"We'll split the profi-" Grayson starts. 

"Don't do it, if you do I'm not talking to you again," I threat. I can't go as far as saying I'll turn them in, even if they are my friends they already killed me as their friend twice. 

"Fuck yo-," 

"We aren't doing it," Grayson interrupts. 

"Naw, you might not but I am," Ethan parks the car. 

"Ethan grant Dolan."I yell at him. He looks at me freaked out. 

"I've never told you my middle name," 

"I don't give a shit. You're not gonna involve Gray and I in this," I tell him. He glares looking between us. 

"You know why we need this Gray," Ethan mutters. 

"I know. But we can't steal, let's just go," Grayson tells him. 

"Why do you need that stuff?" I ask as he drives away. 

"Don't worry about it," Ethan grunts. This is how fast Ethan changes, 5 minutes ago he was smiling at me in the rearview mirror and now he's being a grouch. 

"Whatever," I look out the window annoyed. I feel fingers graze my knee and I look over.

Grayson looks back at me as he reaches for my hand. I smile and hold his hand happily. 

"Screw it, I'm just gonna drop you off at your place," Ethan decides. 

"I'll stay," Grayson smiles. 

"No," Ethan snaps. 

"I'm not stealing from that van," Grayson urges. 

"Pussy," he glares.

We get to my apartment and we get out. We look at Ethan waiting to see what he's doing. He shakes his head and drives away.

I wonder if he will be caught alone. At least I for sure got Grayson away. 

"If you don't tell Ethan, I'll tell you why we needed those parts," Grayson says behind me. 

"I won't,  I swear I won't," I shake my head. He grabs my hand and pulls me into my own apartment. 

"You can't tell anyone about this Liv, no one," 

"I have no one else, just you," I sit and pull him with me. 

"Me and Ethan like to build bombs, you can't tell," he repeats. 

"Bombs for what?" I press. 

"Just for shits and giggles," he shrugs. 

"You can be honest with me Gray," I hold his hand. 

"We just like them, thats it," he tells me. 

"A few weeks ago you said you would kill anyone who hurt me. Were you being serious?" He looks down and shrugs,

"You can be honest, you're my best friend," 

"I'd do anything for you Liv," he looks pained. 

"I want you to stop making bombs. I don't want you to kill anyone. I need you to stay alive and out of jail, for me," I urge,

"I want you to go to college, grow up, graduate with me," 

"I can't promise that Olivia," he tears up. 

"You can Gray," I touch his cheek gentle,

"You can be happy someday, you just can't give up. Ethan needs to know that too," 

"E can't know we discussed this," he insists. Tears fall down his cheeks and kinda like the first week we 'met' I comfort him. 

"We will get through this Gray, I promise. Just don't give in," I beg him. 

"Only for you," he sniffles and holds my hand. I let him cry and hope he keeps his word.
