It's Nothing

Ch. 1

~Maia's P.O.V.~

"Grace!" I yelled at my best friend. She was off in her own world again. I'm not saying she looked happy, like, daydreaming about Garrett or anyone. She was kind of sad looking.

"What?" she asked snapping back to reality.

"You've been drifting off into your own world for the past few months. I've tried to ignore it but now I can't. What's wrong?" I asked. She sighed.

"It's nothing." Grace tried to assure me. Tried.

"Grace, I know it's something." I tell her.

"Maia, I know you're concerned and I appreciate it, but it's nothing to worry about." she says. I know I'm not getting it out of her.

"Alright. We've got to get to set." I told her. She nodded and we left Dairy Queen and headed to set.

~Ross's P.O.V.~

Here come the girls. Grace doesn't look happy. She looks depressed and sad. I've tried to ignore it but she's been like this for months.

"Hey girls! Grace, what's wrong?" I asked. I saw Maia throw her head back and mentally groan. Oops.

"I'm not talking about it. It's nothing." Grace said and pushed past me.

"She's been like that for months." I said walking towards Maia.

"I know. She's not okay. But she won't talk to me. I wonder if she'll talk to Garret." Maia said. We watched Grace walk down the hall and enter Garrett's dressing room. They were really good friends. Grace was just about as close to Garrett as she is to me. In fact, I think she might like him more than me. And I've known her for five years!

"I don't know. For our sake, I hope she does." I sigh.

~Grace's P.O.V.~

I walked into Garrett's dressing room. I know he'll ask about my mood, but I'm not going to tell him. I can't. I can't tell anyone what happened. They'll treat me differently and probably not even want to be my friends.

"Hey Garrett." I say. I walked over and fell onto his beanbag.

"Hey Gracey." he said walking over to me. He kissed my cheek and sat down. "What's up?" I groaned.

"Why does everyone think something's wrong?" I asked.

"Sorry. I'm just worried about you. You've been distant and shy. That's not the normal Grace I know and love." Garrett said. Yeah, we're secretly dating.

"I don't want to talk about it." I mumbled.

"Alright. Do you want a hug?" he asks. I nod. He opens his arms. I lose it. I can't hold it in anymore. I start to cry and run into his arms. He runs his fingers through my hair and carries me to the couch and sits down.

"I don't know what to do." I say between breaths.

"Are you sure you're okay? This is not okay." Garrett tells me.

"I'm fine." I assure him.

"Grace, I asked if you wanted a hug and you started to cry uncontrollably." Garrett said.

"Okay! I'm not alright! I can't talk about it though." I cry burrying my face in his shirt.

"You can always tell me Grace. No matter what happens, I'll always love you." he says. Something tells me that's true. But then again, every boy I've ever trusted, excluding Ross and Garrett, have given me a reason to cry.

"Come on. Calm down and clean up your face. We have to film today." Garrett says after he realizes I'm not talking. I get up and grab a rag to clean my face. I calm down and put a cold cloth to my face. After ten minutes, the redness in my eyes has left and I walk out to get my hair, makeup, and wardrobe. Then I leave to film.
