I wake up feeling Grayson getting up haphazardly. I listen to him whimper at his shoulder. He looks around for something and covers his face in annoyance when he comes up short.
"What are you doing?" I ask sitting up. I look at the clock and see its passed 7.
"I need a shirt for school, we're late!" He mutters annoyed.
"We aren't going with your shoulder fucked up. I need to switch the damn gauze you bled through it," I point at the now red bandages. I look down at my sheets and notice a few red drips where he laid.
"Go to sleep, I don't need your help," he shakes his head and tears the gauze off. He covers his shoulder with his hand and walks off to the bathroom.
I glare and throw off the blanket following him in.
"Stop being a fucking douchebag and let me fucking help you," I grab the gauze and wrap him up again.
Grayson finally keeps his mouth shut and just watches me while I finish wrapping him,
"Now, either we're gonna go back to bed or I'm going to make us breakfast and we'll start practicing the play,"
"We're still doing that bullshit?" He asks.
"Yes, because you caused that bullshit, now choose," I cross my arms.
"I could eat," he sighs giving up.
"That's what I thought, I'll be back," I poke his nose and run downstairs. I make us some eggs and it reminds me of the many mornings Phil and I would wake up and have breakfast.
I'm not sure yet if this will turn into something romantic, Grayson might not even love me anymore with how he's acting.
I look over at my calender and sigh. April 21st 1999,
"What the fuck Death?" I grab the ouija board out of my closet and set it on the counter while the food cooks. I set my hands on the planchette and ask for the first time in this timeline,
"When am I going home?"
Y-o-u a-r-e-n-t d-o-n-e y-e-t
"Not done yet? Its for sure the 21st! The shooting didn't happen! Grayson and Ethan are alive! You can't keep me here forever! I won, I fucking won! I'm 17now!" I yell at the board angrily.
Grayson's heavy footsteps quiet me and I quickly shove the board into a cupboard and start putting our eggs on plates.
"Who are you yelling at?"he asks confused.
"Huh? No one gray, I touched a burner on accident, everythings fine," I smile at him innocently and give him his plate.
"Suuure, thanks?" He murmurs and eats his share. I stand in front of the cupboard holding it shut, even though I don't think he would look through my shit.
"Oh Romeo, do thou enjoy thou eggs?" I joke.
"Leave the acting to me," he teases back.
"Unfortunately for you, we're a team,"
"Who says that's unfortunate?" He grins.
"Come on Romeo, lets go learn our lines," we put our plates in the sink and I gently pull him upstairs.

April 22nd
We return to school as normal on Thursday. We quickly notice someone else is missing. Me and Gray meet up after gym and I notice Ethan isn't here,
"Well I guess you've got nothing to be afraid of," Grayson had been terrified of going out alone with Ethan. I don't blame him, I'm fucking scared to see him too.
"Ethan never skips school two days in a row, where is he?" Patrick asks as we walk into drama.
"Who cares?" Grayson sighs and walks passed him so he can sit in the very back of the room, even further than we usually sit with Patrick Zack, and James.
I follow him back and reach for his hand.
"We need to not cause a scene, maybe Ethan isn't coming back. Maybe he realized he fucked up bad enough and decided to stay out of school," I shrug.
"Ethan's too smart for that, what if he's dead? Or he was arrested? What if he's waiting to kill us?" He asks fast.
"Forget him for now, eventually we'll know. I really don't think he's dead, I'm sure we would know by now. Probably the same if he was arrested. And I highly doubt he's somewhere trying to kill us. Lets just go with the flow and finish this school year," I hold his hand tighter and bring it up to my lips and kiss his hand.
"Grayson Dolan? Oliva Arch? If you'd like to join us?" Mrs.C calls us and waves us closer to the stage.
"Duty calls," I get up and pull him along.
