In love with my best friend

I told the stars about you

I hugged everyone goodbye and told them I'd call them later then Gray, my parents, and myself went to get lunch. I was got a small salad and ate most of it but I wasn't feeling too great so I couldn't force myself to eat more than half.

Mom: You okay?

Izabella: With what specifically?

Dad: we've been over the whole avoiding thing

Izabella: I know, I'm fine I guess. I mean we won so Sammie can rest in peace but health wise I'm not doing to hot

Dad: What's wrong?

Izabella: Just feeling a little woozy that's all

Dad: Gray can you take her home?

Grayson: Absolutely

Mom: Take your meds and a nap

Izabella: will do

We left and Gray carried me upstairs.

Izabella: Will you run downstairs and get my meds? Mom keeps them in the kitchen

Grayson: Yeah

When he left I started getting into something more comfortable. I got changed and sat on my bed looking at my floor hoping the dizziness would go away. Gray came back with my meds and I took them.

Grayson: You okay?

Izabella: Depends on your definition of okay

Grayson: Dictionary definition

Izabella: My health is dwindling, physically I feel like trash. Mentally I feel like shit. Lately it's just like I've gotten everything I wanted but I feel horrible for having them.

Grayson: Button, you deserve the world. I know lately it's been a little crazy lately with everything that's been going on but you shouldn't feel like you don't deserve good things.

Izabella: I guess, I'm just tired.

Gray handed me my meds and I took them, then he sat next to me holding me close to him. 

Grayson: Maybe you need to think about something else for a little while.

Izabella: Like what?

Grayson: Why did you tell me you love me?

Izabella: It felt right, there's perfect timing for most everything. I guess I've always known deep down. 

Grayson: How come? 

Izabella: Do you remember when I fell out of that tree?

Grayson: When we were twelve, you tried climbing and oak by yourself when I went to get my mom to help. 

Izabella: When I started falling, I thought that was it. And then you caught me and I was okay. I ran home locked myself in my room for three hours trying to figure out what happened. I wrote things down trying to make sense of it all and then I did what I do when I need help understanding. 

Grayson: What's that? 

Izabella: I told the stars about you. I looked outside my window and talked and they told me a secret. 

Grayson: What did they say?

Izabella: It wouldn't be a secret if I told you. But I still find it shocking to this day. I literally fell for you, into your arm, into your life really. And for the longest time I thought I was a burden. 

Grayson: Why?

I could tell her hated that I felt that way. 

Izabella: Your ex's made it clear that they wanted to be the only girl in your life. When they saw you kept choosing me over them, they had words. Parker was the worse one... I just didn't want to ruin your happiness.
