It was the next day. Ethan and I went for dinner but I was quiet mostly, and I had barely slept after Ethan told me about Grayson. The whole night I was thinking about the past with Ethan and Grayson. I was searching for the moments where I should have known Grayson loved me all along, but I couldn't find it. I couldn't find a single clue about Grayson loving me. I hadn't even noticed the sun was up until I heard a knock on my door. I humbled as I waited for the person to come in.

"Hey there..." I heard a familiar voice say. I thought Ethan came to wake me up, but Cameron showed up in my room. I immediately sat down in bed as a smile formed on my face.

"Cam!" I said in excitement. My smile faded away as I saw her eyes were red from crying. I frowned at her as I gave her a gesture to sit down besides me. She let out a deep sigh before she looked at me.

"I know Ethan told you everything, and as much as I want you to change Grayson, you can't. The only way to save him is if you'd loved him as well. I can't ask you to force yourself into loving him, so all I can say is that you should ignore him. I have been dealing with him like this since the boys moved away, and I'm used to it now." Cam explained and my face dropped. I nervously played with my fingers as I slowly nodded at her. "You haven't slept, have you?" Cam asked and I immediately looked up to her again.

"No... I was so stupid not to realize he loved me..." I blamed myself as the tears were now streaming down my face. Just a few days ago I was still at work in New York, doing better then ever. And now I'm here, being mad at myself the whole time.

"It's not your fault..." Cam said as she puts a lose string of hair behind my ear. "Grayson did this to himself, not you." Cam said as she gave me a kiss on my forehead. "I know you don't want to go out of bed, but we should get ready for the funeral..." Cam said and I slowly nodded at her. I got out of bed and grabbed some clothes to wear to the funeral.

It now hit me in the face. Sean will be buried, and will be at peace forever...

"How did he die?" I asked suddenly as I turned back towards Cameron. I saw sadness overwhelmed her.

"He had cancer, it was already too late." I heard another familiar voice say. When I looked towards my door I saw Grayson coming in. I was shocked he actually said something else instead of harassing me. My face dropped as I slowly nodded at him. "Wear this..." Grayson said as he walked over to my suitcase. He grabbed a tight black dress, that I had worn once to my prom. I looked at him as my eyes sparkled. "He would have wanted to see you in that, on your big night." Grayson said as he handed me over the dress.

"How did you..?" I asked him as he made it pretty clear that he knew I wore this to prom a few months ago. I was hoping I could see him smile again, I haven't seen it in a long time...

"I know you always try to have the spotlight on you, and this dress screams that." Grayson said. I don't know if I should be offended or take this as a compliment. I gave him a small smile as our hands touched for a moment as I grabbed the dress from him.

"I know I shouldn't ask you this, but do you want to do something tonight?" Grayson said and I looked at him in shock. I didn't see this coming as he changed, but Ethan was right. If Grayson still loved me, I was the only cure. "Never mind, it was a stupid question." Grayson said as he was about turn away. I quickly grabbed his arm and shook my head at him.

"I would love to do something with you tonight." I said as I couldn't let him walk away. My heart couldn't let him walk away. I still held onto his arm until he moved it away.

"Be ready at eight." Grayson said before he gave me a kiss on my cheek. He slowly walked out of my room and I just stood there, frozen from his movements.
