Graysons Pov
Everything's great. CJ started wearing short sleeved shirts again and she's hasn't an anxiety attack in weeks. Right now we're on the way to the mall with Ethan and Haley. Ethan speaks up. "Graysons got a crush you guys."

CJ's pov
As we're on the way to the mall Ethan starts talking about how Gray has a crush.
"No way! Who?" Haley asks. "Ethan shut it!" He says slapping him. "It's Brooklyn McKnight from third period!" "Ethan!"
I decide to speak so I don't look awkward. "She's pretty." My phone buzzes in my lap.
Snapchat- from Haley👸
Haley-ur prettier
Me- Obviously not
Haley-I know you like him
Me- I don't just like him
Haley- I'm sure it's just a short term thing
Me- doesn't matter. He doesn't like me I need to get over it.
Haley- Cj...

I lock my phone and put it back in my lap ignoring what's going on around me. I'm playing my playlist of Glee songs since we're all gleeks. Gives you hell comes on from Rachel's performance to Finn.
I start singing.
"When you see my face hope it gives you hell hopes it gives you hell."
I sing the whole song and when the song is over Ethan makes a joke.
"Damn, CJ. Who hurt you."
"Very funny E. Nobody, duh. I was just singing."
We finally pull into the mall and Haley and I go to the bathroom.

Graysons Pov
As we arrive at the mall the girls go to bathroom and Ethan I start walking to the food court.
"Dude what's up with CJ?"
"What do you mean?"
"She seemed off."
"I'm not sure."

CJ's pov
On the way to the bathroom Haley gets called over by her friend so I walk into a store while she talks to them. I start thinking about Grayson and how much I like him. I'm head over heels and he likes someone else. Then the lights start to get bright again not here, not now. No. No No No No No. I grab my phone and send Grayson my location.
Me- Current Location
Gray- what was that for?
Me- sos
Gray- CJ I'm on my way
Gray- what's wrong

Graysons Pov-
While Ethan and I were sitting down and eating when I get a text from Cj sending me her location. "What was that for?" I ask. "Sos." "Ethan we have to get to Cj."
"Why? What's wrong."
"I don't know I just know she needs us."
(This is a strip mall where you have to walk outside to get to each store.)
We walk into a small store with food everywhere and there's no one at the cash register to ask if they've seen CJ. We start walking around the store and I find Cj sitting in a corner.
She tries to talk through her heavy breathing and crying.
"I-I'm s-s-sorry."
"Hey. You didn't do anything."
I pull her into a hug.
"Just breathe, okay?"
She starts to calm down after a few minutes and Haley meets us already aware of what happened.
"Hey Cj. I got us an Uber so you can get home."
CJ lifts her head from my shoulder and I take my arm off from around her.
"Okay. Bye guys."
"Bye Cj."
After Cj and Haley get in the Uber I start to confide in Ethan.
"Ethan. I think I like Cj."
"Like, Like?"
"Yeah. Like, Like."
"Oh wow."
"What should I do?"
"Hang out with her more and drop hints."
"Okay."
We get in the car and I tell ethan to drop me off at CJ's, so he does.
I knock on the door and CJ answers.
"Hey Grayson."
"Hey. I wanted to check on you and see if you maybe wanna watch a movie?"
"Yeah, I don't wanna be home alone. Come in."
"Where's your mom and sister?"
"New York. Wedding crap."
"Fun."
We watch the movie and I just look at her.
She's so beautiful.

The movie ends and neither of us are tired so we decide to have a bonfire. We're sitting there and I'm just looking at her I wrap my arm around her.
"You know the night at the convenience store, was the scariest moment of my entire life. I had no idea what was wrong and seeing you there like that, I realized."
"You realized what?"
"How much I like you."
"Thanks Gray. I like you too." She says nudging my shoulder.
"No. I mean like, like you."
"Oh." She says shocked. "I've liked you for so long,but I thought you'd never feel that way about me."
"After you had you're anxiety attack the doctor told me you had hurt yourself. All I wanted to do was wrap you in a hug and never let go. I wanted to show you how much I love you."
And then we kiss.
It took me a second to realize what was happening, but we were kissing.
When we pulled apart I looked right in her eyes .
"Woah."
"Yeah."
"Cj?"
"Yes?"
"Will you be my girlfriend?"
She answers by grabbing my face and kissing me.
We went inside and watched another movie and she fell asleep in my arms.
