Epilogue

As the weeks passed Stranded became bigger, reaching number one on the pop charts. There were questions about Greyson's inspiration for the song and where he had been the past few months. Of course, no one really knew; except me.

Everyone assumed there was a new girl in his life, which was true, but they would have never assumed it was me considering they had no idea of where he was. None the less, they still had their ways of spreading rumors through the media.

Magazines kept putting out pictures of Greyson with old friends from Oklahoma, trying to hook him up with one of his companions, but no one ever fully believed it. Honestly, Greyson and I found it hilarious. Daily we would by a magazine to guess who would be the "Mystery Girl of the Day."

I honestly did not care who paparazzi set up Grey with because I knew he was mine, and that's all that mattered. He would always support me through anything, even if it meant being apart.

At that, a disturbing thought enters my mind. What would happen when Greyson left next week. I barely functioned last time without him. My emotions had formed a wall of solitude around me. Everyone was surprised when I finally came out.

Would I be able to bear it?

Let's not forget that Greyson would be in California. There are endless opportunities for him to forget about me. Celebrity girls who are much prettier than me are everywhere, and he was attractive, girls would be after him.

Apparently, I had drifted off into my thoughts because Greyson brushes my auburn hair out of my face. "What are you thinking about?" He questions as he pulls me closer to him in the sand.

I stare out at the coastline ahead of me before answering, leaning back into Greyson, not wanting to ruin the moment that I looked forward to every day.

"I was just thinking, what are we going to do when you go back to Los Angeles?" Greyson sighs and I look up into his big brown eyes. His eyebrows furrow like they always do when he's unsure. His fingertips find the end of my hair and he begins to play with it, this was almost like his own nervous tick.

"I guess we will just have to try what we did when you left. Maybe though, I could fly you out every other weekend." I nod, but internally I knew that would be an issue with school and his recording schedule.

Greyson, knowing me too well, leans in and kisses my forehead lightly grabbing my hand. "Don't worry, we'll work it out. As long as we have each other we're okay." He sends me one of his million dollar smiles and I can't help but return one.

"Okay, I trust you," I state before leaning in to kiss him. Before I can make any contact my phone goes off. Laughing at the irony of it Greyson shakes his head leaning back into the sand.

Of course, the third wheel had been my mother. I put it on speaker. "Hello?" I question irritated and instantly I feel bad for it. "Drew, I need you to come home now," mom sounds as if she's been crying.

"Mom are you okay?" I question worried.

"Just, just get home quick."

Instantly, I shoot up out of the sand with Greyson beside me, both of us knowing it was important. He laces his fingers with mine as we sprint to the backdoor of my house. We leap up the stairs and find my mother sitting at the coffee table with red puffy eyes.

"What's wrong?" I ask, wrapping my arms around her as she sobs.

I don't know how Greyson knew what she was going to say but somehow, he did. Immediately, he wraps me in a hug from behind as if to catch me from a scary drop.

My mom chokes out one last sob before sobering up and looking me dead in the eyes. Then, I could see all the pain, hurt, anger, and rage my mom was experiencing in her golden orbs. When she speaks her voice comes out in raspy wisps of air.

"Emma's dying."
