Home Town

Confession

Alex, Stevie and Ethan walked out and that left me and Grayson standing there. We headed up to my room and layed on my bed.

Grayson: "Y/n I haven't had the time to ask you properly. Are you okay?"

Y/n: "Grayson, the truth is, I feel shit. My dad is threatening to hurt us, we might have to move states, I'm worried about Ethan because of Sydney, I haven't seen my sister in like a month, basically everyone at school hates me and I just don't know, I hate myself. I wish my life could just be...different. Why do you even like me? I don't deserve someone like you. I don't deserve anything."

I turned around so he didn't see the emotion in my face, I was on the verge of crying. Grayson sat me up and made me turn to face him. He looked me in the eyes.

Grayson: "hey, you don't need to feel like this. I love you because you put everyone before yourself, you are so cute and funny, you have a great personality, I could go on forever about how great and amazing you are. Y/n, you will always have me and you deserve the whole world. Don't worry about your dad or Sydney, and Jayde is just busy, I'm sure she will see you as soon as she can and I know she misses you. Just please don't hate yourself because you are so beautiful and perfect and I love everything about you. I love you."

I hugged him and he kissed my forehead.

Y/n: "Gray, I..I don't know what to say...I love you too. Thank you so much..for everything."

I bursted into tears, I couldn't stop myself even if I wanted to. I didn't want him to deal with me again.

Y/n: "I'm sorry that you have to deal with me again."

Grayson: "I'm just making sure you're okay. I need you to realise that you don't need to think about everyone else's well being before yourself. You need to make sure you are okay before checking on everyone else. Promise me that you will be your priority from now on, ok?"
Y/n: "you know I can't promise that Gray. But I will try, for you."

Grayson: "thank you y/n."

Y/n: "do you wanna know something?"

Grayson: "what?"

Y/n: "I haven't told anyone about my dad, you are the only one outside of my family that knows."

Grayson: "I thought you would've told Amy or something."

Y/n: "I guess I haven't because I don't really talking about my problems, I don't like the attention to be on me and I just don't want to bring down the mood."

Grayson: "see, this is the thing, you ignore your own problems for other people, you need to stop ignoring your problems."

Y/n: "Gray, you don't understand, it's not that easy. I'm sorry I don't mean to be rude or anything but I really can't change that fast, I don't know how to bring up my problems, I don't want people to worry about me, I don't want everyone asking if I'm ok a million times a day. I just want you to know that I love how you care about me but I think it's easiest if I keep my problems to myself because I don't need anything from anyone, including you."

Grayson: "fine, but if you need anything at all, tell me."

Y/n: "I will."

Gray gave me a kiss on the cheek.

Grayson: "how about we get out of here, we can spy on Ethan and Stevie."

Y/n: "how are we gonna get there?"

Grayson: "well you know there's two skateboards out there."

Y/n: "ok then..let's go."

I suddenly grabbed Gray's arm and dragged him out to the front door.
