You're Safe Now (on hold)

1. Free

He stood in front of me looking at me with pure and utter disgust. I can feel the anger radiating off him like a 4,000 degree fire. I'm not that scared, but the last time he had pulled this face I ended up in the hospital.

" Ky I said no" I am literally so pissed off every time we get into a fight it turns into 'do you have a thing for Greyson' I just don't understand why he always thinks that we do. Grey is like an older brother to me I love him with all my heart but not in that way.

" How am I supposed to believe you? You're always hanging around him like fucking white on rice. For all I know you've been cheating on me with him. You have probably given me an STD. Knowing you, you're probably whoring around the whole neighborhood." he screams in my face.

I want to cry so badly, but I can't I have to keep it together. I can't look weak. "Why would I cheat on you Ky? If I liked Grey so much don't you think I would breakup with you to be with him? I mean think about it what would be keeping me here? Nothing, you treat me like absolute shit. You hit me all the time. You've put me in the hospital twice. "

" You're so weak so useless why would anybody want you? I certainly don't." And with that he left me standing there looking at him leave me.

The tears on my face subsided while I gathered myself. I was happy so completely happy. Finally I was out of the grasp of Ky Forbes. Never again would I ever want to be forced into a relationship with him. I am 17 now I can make my own decisions.

With that though I picked up my phone excited to tell Greyson the news. I January Winters was finally free, and the world needed to know.

Janie: Hey Grey, can we talk I have some good news and I think you'll be happy about it I know I am!!!!

Grey: Bakery half and hour?

Janie: Sure see you there

Around 20 mintues later. I pulled up to the bakery still red eyed from the resent crying. I flipped the mirror down trying to make my appearance less horrifying to others, but I could already tell that wasn't going to work, so I fixed my hair to slightly cover my face. Deciding I was sort of presentable I took the keys out of the ignition and proceeded inside.
I was just about to walk inside when my phone rang without checking the caller ID I pressed answer soon I would learn that was a terrible mistake.
" Hello" I answered
" Janie, please come home I kno-"
" I don't want to hear it anymore Kai. I'm done with you always pushing me around and making me feel bad about myself. I'm tired and pissed all the time you don't make me happy not now not ever. It's over and you need to learn to accept that." As I was talking I saw movement to the right of me and looked up to my best friend looking down at me. I love Greyson he is always there for me like the brother I never had.
" I will never stop loving you Janie. You're MINE and you very naïve if you think I'm ever letting you go, because that my dear is never going to happen." With that he hung up leaving me with the sad mistake that I could have ever loved him.
I turned to Grey, with tears in my eyes. I slowly walked over to him taking him in my arms, and hugging him with all my might. Sniffling into his chest, Greyson wraps his arms around me, gently stroking my hair.
"It'll get better Janie. He was bad for you anyway. Kai got between us, he would never let you hang out with me. He was always so rude to you. I remember all those times you came running crying to me. Me. I was there for you and always will be. I love you." He said with a slight smile on his face.
" I honestly don't know what I would do without you Grey. I love you too." I looked up into his eyes only to find that he was already looking down at me. " We should probably go inside we look like morons hugging in the middle of the sidewalk."
Greyson gave me a small reasurring smile, and took my hand while walking inside the small bakery where we first met. We sat down at our usual spot, just staring and one another. The way Grey was looking at me didn't make me uncomfortable like when Kai did it.
The silence soon got awkward and his eyes soon dropped. I fiddled with me hands now suddenly feeling uncomfortable. Where was I going to stay for the night. I certainly couldn't go back home to Kai, and I most definetly wasn't going to stay at my mothers again. Then an idea popped into my head.
" Grey, I know you probably have girls lining up at your doorstep every night, but I was wondering if maybe-" I was cut off by a huge smile radiating from Greyson. Why is he smiling so big? I thought to myself.
" Of course you can stay at my place Janie. Why did you have such are hard time asking me that?" He questioned me with is eyebrows now raised.
I had to think about the question for a bit. He was my best fried so why couldn't I just spit it out? " I was embarrassed, ok? You know I hate it when I have to ask for something. It makes me feel helpless." I breathed in practically breathless from the nervousness leaving my body.
" Why don't we just go back to my place now and I'll make you something to eat there. How does that sound?" he said cautiously.
I nodded almost immediately. " That actually sounds perfect." We stood up from where we were and headed for the cars. I looked at them then sighed. " I'll just follow you back to yours."
With that being said we both got in our cars for the second time tonite, and with one last look to each other we buckled our seat-belts. Pulling out of the parking spots we were in, we made our way down the road to Grey's house.
