You Have To Support Friends Through Anything, Right?

Part Sixteen

Graysons POV

Y/n seriously had me worried for nothing. Of course she didn't know her dad was home. If she did, she wouldn't have given me that heart attack filled phone call.

Y/n's dad is barely ever home. His job depends on him going across the county, and sometimes across the world. Y/n used to stay at my house, and share a room with Cameron. Then when she turned 17, her dad decided she was old enough to take care of herself on her own. She has been living in her own for nearly a full year.

Her mom has never really been in her life. When Y/n was 4, her mom just left. But she's not really gone. Y/m/n lives up in Albany, while we live in New Jersey. Y/m/n always texts Y/n saying how she's moving back home, but never does.

Ethan and I believe her mom is the biggest reason why she's broken inside. But never shows it. One time Ethan and I found her diary, we knew she should respect her privacy but it was already opened. I remember word for word.

'I wish she would just leave. I wish she left when she left. The song My Immortals by Evanescence is about her ex boyfriend, but I see it for my mom.

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
(Watching her leave; and wondering what I did wrong to push her to leave.)
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
(She says she's here for me but lives in a different state. Never actually here when I need her for important events like when I had surgery.)
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
(She left but won't leave. Her still trying to lingering on hurts me more and more.)
These wounds won't seem to heal,
(I'll never not think about how my mother didn't want to raise me.)
this pain is just too real
(nothing can hurt me more.)
There's just too much that time cannot erase
(I've spent years crying and hoping you'll come back, when I should've been happy you left.)
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
(I made you feel better even tho you leave me hurting.)
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears (again, I made you feel better when I was dying inside.)
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
(but I'll still make you feel better after everything even when you can't notice my pain.)
You used to captivate me by your resonating light
(I looked up to you as a princess who I wanted to be just like.)
Now, I'm bound by the life you left behind
(my life will never be the same. I'll always carry this pain with me.)
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
(you coming home is my nightmare because you'll just leave again, to kill me more without realizing.)
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me (hearing your name can make my mood miserable instantly.)'

That was it. She must've not finished writing or whatever. But that was found when we were twelve. That was written when she was twelve.

Her dad will always be her best friend. She won't lie, she'll straight up tell us no one can beat her dad. I love their relationship, but I don't think any of us like the amount of time they have before he leaves again.

Y/n always gets depressed again after y/d/n leaves for another business trip. After her mom, it's not the best for either of them for y/d/n to leave.

Anyways, back to now. Y/n had jumped on her father. Arms around his neck, face buried in his neck, and legs around his waist. He was holding on to her tight with one arm, while the other hand was in her hair.

After literally three minutes, Y/n was but onto the ground. They talked and talked. Finally she noticed I was still there, and her face instantly changed from a smile to a frown.

"I'm sorry Grayson, can we have our movie night another night?" Before I could say yes, her father spoke up.

"No need to. Have fun with Grayson, we'll catch up tomorrow. I mean, we have all month to do stuff."

Y/n turned to him, with the biggest smile on her face, and attacked him into another us. I smiled as I watched them. Usually he's only home for a week. Not a month.

After the three of us talked, Y/n and I had our movie night. We watched her favorite movie, Man of Steel. I wasn't to interested in the movie, since I've seen it twenty thousand time, but I was happy when she bought my favorite snack.

This is what we needed. A night of just us, doing what we always used to. Right here, there was no drama from her mom. Or from Ethan.

I just hope everything between her and Ethan goes back to the same soon. Real soon.
