Ethan and I enter our motel room. I look around and it seems decent. The sheets are silky and red, the light is tinted, the drapes are closed. I know what this is.
I go over to the bed while Ethan closes the door shut.
He turns around to see me undressing myself.
"What are you- what are you doing?" His voice trembles.
I smirk and continue taking my dress off slowly.
"Why are you doing this?" he gulps.
"Isn't this what you wanted Ethan? To get me in bed again?" I get on the bed on my knees looking up at him.
"What are you talking about?" He looks at my body and I can tell that he's nervous.
"This is how you see me." My bra is revealed.
"I don't know what you're talking about." He looks away.
"It's okay Ethan. Lie to me, tell me you love me." I get up and walk closer to him.
"You sound stupid! I do love you." He walks closer to me and puts his hand around my neck and gets on top of me as I land on the bed.
"Then prove it! Show me! Make love to me Ethan." I smile in his face.
He looks up and down at my lips and then kisses me.
We start making out like we were desperate for each other.
Then he stops.
"No! No! No! I can't-" he gets up.
"Why not?"
"Because you're not sober right now. You don't know what you want or who you want."
"Oh so when you wanted me earlier in the Jeep it was okay? But when I want you it's different!" I put my dress and heels on quickly.
"Valeria- I just don't know why you're trying to throw yourself on me?"
"Throw myself at you?" I feel offended because he makes me feel like some type of prostitute.
"No, you know what I mean. This isn't you Val." He looks full of regret.
"No Ethan I don't!"
"Look I'm sorry, let's just go to bed and think about this in the morning." He rubs his head.
"You know what Ethan? Go fuck yourself!" I feel tears forming in my eyes.
"Where are you going now?" He shakes his head.
"You can call one of your other side bitches, I'm gone. And keep your jacket." I throw his coat at him and leave.
"Valeria! Let me at least drive you home!" I hear him shout but I keep walking.
"Valeria it's not safe out there for you!" He shouts again.
"Shut your damn mouth will ya?" A person in the next room comes out and tells Ethan.
By then I'm completely gone from there and I'm walking home trying not to cry but then my heel breaks and I almost trip making my finger get sliced by a nearby rose thorn bush.
"Ahhh" I feel the pain as my blood slowly drips.
It starts to hurt so bad that I have to call for help.
A major headache starts to form and I can't seem to walk any longer.
—————
"I'm sorry for bothering you I just didn't know if anybody else would come and I feel like shit right now." I wine in pain and I feel bad for being a bother.
"Valeria I said it's fine." Grayson helps me in the car and buckles my seatbelt.
"Take me home please." I feel the headache getting worse.
"I will don't worry." He puts my hairs behind my ears and he feels my forehead to check my temperature.
"Oh gosh you're boiling." He says.
"I know, I'm gonna die." I say feeling like complete shit with my eyes closing.
"You're not gonna die Val." He laughs and gets in the car.
—————
"Here take this." He gives me a pill for my headache after helping me clean my wound.
I swallow the pill and drink the water he hands me.
"Thank you so much Grayson, you don't know how much I love you right now." I smile and lay my head on my pillow.
He nods with a smile.
"You can leave if you want." I mumble from not having so much energy left in me.
"I'm not going anywhere Valeria, you need me." He sits next to my bed on the ground and grabs my hand.
"What about-"
"Stacey?" He says referring to the girl he met at the club tonight.
"Yeah" I shut my eyes.
"She's- she's not my type of girl." He looks at me and I look at him.
I nod. "I'm sorry."
"It's okay but can you tell me what happened to you tonight? How did you end up all by yourself?" He laughs.
"Shut up don't make fun of me." I laugh as well.
"I was just wondering how the heck you ended up like that!" His laughs get uncontrollably loud.
"Shhh before you wake my grandparents you goof." I giggle and punch his shoulder lightly.
"Okay okay but for real, I want to know." He controls his loud voice.
I sigh.
"I was with Ethan." I close my eyes again because I'm afraid he might judge me.
"Oh well that's understandable y'know. You guys have so much history together. You met each other at sixteen and now he'll be nineteen this December and you nineteen in January. It'll probably be crazy if you didn't feel anything for him. He should feel the same." He sounds so supportive.
"That's the thing though Grayson, I don't think I do have any feelings left for him anymore." I open my eyes.
He's silent.
"Everything's change since we met." I add on.
"Yeah I see that." He sighs.
"Grayson?" I tap his shoulder.
"Yeah?" He looks back at me.
"Thank you for not leaving." I feel so emotional.
"I'll never leave you Val. Never." He gets up and lays next to me.
Authors note: So I think I ship Grayson and Valeria so hard now! At first I wasn't sure about it but now they're so cute! I love them. Ethan's dark twist still hasn't came yet and I have a big cute gift for Valeria and Grayson in the last few chapters. For now they'll be taking it slow I guess to get to that sweet surprise lol.
I love you guys and thanks for reading.
