The alarm wakes us at 4:30am and I chuckle to myself hearing Grays little whines.

He curls up closer and hides his face in my neck. 

"Oh come on Gray, it isn't that bad," I giggle and pat his back with the arm he isn't laid on. 

"It's 4:30," he whines. 

"You're usually up by 5:30," I remind. 

"Irrelevant," he whines. 

"You're the one who said we needed to be up at this time," I remind and reach up playing with his hair. I remember seeing it in a ponytail on prom night and feeling a slight attraction to him. 

"Lets skip school," he holds me closer. 

"Me and Ethan have a test in math, he'll kill you if you don't pick him up," I remind. 

"God forbid he rides the bus," he grunts and sits up. 

"Theres that pretty boy," I tease. I reach up and poke his nose. He pouts at me and gets up. He looks around for a second and we both remember his clothes are in the dryer,

"Shit, my bad," 

"No worries," He sits and I notice he's nervous and he pulls the blanket over his boxers. 

"Gray? Are you okay?" 

"Just, hurry up okay, we don't have all day," his voice sounds more malicious than usual. 

"Whatever," I glare and walk out to the small laundry room. I grab the small load of clothes and walk back to my room. I toss his clothes onto his lap and grab an outfit. I walk into the bathroom without a word.

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

We drive to The twins house first so he can change and then we plan to pick up E. He hasn't spoken to me since he got an attitude. The only thing I've said was the 'come on' I muttered when it was time to leave. 

This will be the first time in this timeline that I've been to his house. 

"Hopefully my parents will be in bed," he says suddenly. I just decide to nod in agreement. We pull into the drive way and I assume I'll just be waiting in the car. Instead he looks over at me,

"When we get in there we're going to go slow and quiet, their room is downstairs," 

"Okay," I nod again and get out. We walk in through the front door and tiptoe through the livingroom. 

"grayson Bailey dolan! We had half the county looking for you!"Lisa stomps in from the kitchen and turns on the light.

Sean follows her inside. 

"Surprised it wasn't half the state with the money you claim to make," he crosses his arms. 

"Where were you all night?" Lisa asks angry. 

"None of your business," he pulls me closer behind him. 

"Ethan is in jail right now, we thought you were with him," Lisa explains. 

"Your mom thought you were, I knew you couldn't be involved," Sean tries to reason. 

"E's in jail?" Grayson asks in shock. 

"He broke into a van and got caught when he needed his hand stitched up, I need an answer, where were you last night Grayson?" 

"Who cares?" He scrunches his nose and starts walking upstairs. 

"I do!" Lisa starts to follow and notices me,

"Who are you?" 

"O-"

"Don't worry about her,"Gray interrupts and pulls me up inside his room. He slams the door as hard as he can. I flinch a little at the noise and lean against the wall,

"Well there goes the plan to pick up Ethan," 

"I'm just glad you're not in jail too," I sigh crossing my arms feeling awkward. 

"You're the only reason why," he shrugs. 

"Because I care about you gray," I drop my arms. 

"I doubt it," he huffs. 

"I do Grayson," 

"It doesn't matter," he gets into his closet and picks out clothes.

Lisa walks in without knocking and Grayson punches the wall,

"Fuck you!" 

"Stop this!" Lisa yells at him. 

"Get out of my room!" He yells at her. 

"Please leave," Lisa looks at me. 

"She's not going anywhere," Grayson grabs my shoulder and sits me on his bed. 

"This is my house. I'm telling her to leave," 

"Lets get to school then," he leaves the new clothes and just wears his outfit from yesterday, thanks to his mom trying to control him. 

"Please talk to us Grayson," his mom whines.

Grayson takes my hand and pulls me downstairs again,

"You can't trust her, I know girls like her, she'll just hurt you," 

"Shut up!" He screams at her and leaves the front door open as we get to his car.

We speed off before Lisa or Sea can open the car door. 

"I'm sorry," I say quiet. 

"You don't need to be. You didn't do anything wrong," he shakes his head i notice he pulled around the corner

I sigh and decide to not care about our math test,

"Fine, we'll wait right here,"

"Get comfortable," Grayson leans his seat back and yawns. I do the same and fall asleep next to him again

. -----------------

A heavy knocking on the window wakes us and we look up to see Ethan looking in my window. Grayson unlocks the door and Ethan opens it. 

"Backseat, now," he demands. I get up and move to the back while Ethan takes my seat, "Drive," 

"What the fuck happened dude?" Grayson asks. 

"Fucking drive!" He yells. 

"Whatever!" Dylan glares and stars to drive,

"Now, what happened?" 

"Give me a fucking moment to fucking breathe!" Ethan hits the dashboard. 

"Look dude, I have a few pipes in the back, lets just go to Rampart and blow off some steam, okay?" Gray says calmly. 

"I'd like that," Ethan nods. With that, we head deep into the woods.
