"you ok? i shouldn't be asking that, never mind." he chuckles nervously
his comment makes me slightly chuckle and he smacks the wheel with his hand.
"i made you laugh!" he shouts
i smile and nod at him, wiping my tears away.
"what does ethan do when you're upset?" grayson asks
"grayson it's ok. you can just drop me off home." i sniffle
"no no no. i'm not leaving you alone when you're sad." he shakes his head
i nod and look out the window, staring at the bright lights from the christmas decorations.
"should i call perla?" he questions
"she's at a party."
he shakes his head and slightly chuckles.
"of course she is."
—
before i know it, we pull up to his house and my eyebrows furrow in confusion.
"i thought we were going to my house." i say
he shakes his head and gets out of his side. i watch him run over to my side and hold the door open for me.
"grayson that's way too cheesy, but thank you." i chuckle
"you're upset. i have to do something you won't expect."
—
"perla, where the hell are you?" i shout through the phone
"i'm still at the party of course!" she slurs
"i'm coming to pick you up with grayson."
"grayson? is there something going onnnn?" she laughs
"no perla. now stay where you are ok?"
"grayson. we need to go."
i turn around to see him sliding in cookies into the oven. he turns around and i close my eyes and put my hands up to my forehead.
"why now?" i ask
"i'm sorry! i didn't hear you talking to perla."
"you just said i- ok grayson, just take them out and make them later. perla is gonna do something stupid if we don't pick her up right now."
he pouts and takes out the christmas tree shaped cookies and puts them out on the kitchen counter.
"you're lucky i didn't start cooking them."
i roll my eyes and chuckle, walking out the front door.
—
"ethan's an asshole." she slurs
my eyebrows furrow and i look at grayson.
"did you tell her anything?" i ask
he immediately denies my question and i grab onto perla's arm, keeping her steady.
"no, no. i called ethan and asked how your light show went. then we foughtttt and then he told me that you guys foughtttt and you cried and i just want to punch him." she throws a slow punch in the air
grayson and i laugh and perla pouts.
"why are you laughing at me?"
"no no, we're not laughing at you."
"can we see ethan so i can punch him?" she throws another slow punch
"tomorrow." i respond
