The Life Changing Trip

Chapter Eight

* Renee's pov *

We sit on the couch and there was an awkward silence.

"So. Um. Why did you kiss me," I break the silence surrounding us.

"Oh. Sorry. I really like you," Reed stutters.

"What about Hayley," I ask.

"Hayley? I like her, too, but more as a friend," He looks at his feet. I whisper an "oh" and then look at my phone.

I go on Twitter and apparently some fans were watching us singing on the beach because my Twitter Feed was blown up with pictures. My notifications were blown up with tags of Reed and I about him kissing me.

I exit the app and go on Instagram. Once again, my feed was blown up since I follow fan accounts. People had already made edits of us two.

I comment on some of them.

I comment on this one picture of us kissing where the person who posted it commented "are they dating or what!?"

I wrote "im sorry. We arent dating. He just kissed me after we finished singing"

Then I see people comment "she commented" and other comments like that.

"Oh my god," I whisper as I scroll through my notifications and pictures of me and comments under my posts.

I hear someone come in. Grayson. He looked really mad and I have a feeling he saw the posts and tweets. Reed was looking at things on his phone, too. I lean over and see that he was on Twitter.

Grayson notices us and walks over with his arms crossed.

"Why did you kiss her," Grayson stares at Reed.

"I didn't know you two were dating," Reed stands up to walk away, but Grayson steps in front of him and punches him in the stomach. Reed stumbles back, but then throws a punch at Grayson's eye. They punch back and forth.

Reed gets hit in the throat and tries to block more punches from Grayson.

I just watch, not knowing what to do.

Grayson punches Reed's nose, making it start to bleed.

I get up and try to break them apart, but Grayson accidentally punches my side and Reed accidentally punches my cheek. I fall onto the couch and just let them continue to fight.

Luckily, Lancifer walked in and rushed over to pull them apart.

"What is going on," He asked.

"Reed kissed my girlfriend," Grayson says with a clenched jaw, "and every fan knows."

"Grayson it's okay," I get up and walk up to him.

"No it's not," He replies.

Reed walks away without saying anything. Lancifer just stands there. Grayson had a bruise on his eye forming.

"Do you want any ice for your eye," I ask Grayson, softly touching around his bruise. His right eyelid was turning purple.

"Sure, thanks," Grayson kisses my cheek.

I walk to the kitchen to see Reed walk past me and into the bathroom, holding paper towels. His nose was bleeding badly. I get ice out of the fridge and put some in a towel. I walk back to Grayson and he was sitting down in a chair. I hand him the ice and kiss his forehead and I go to check on Reed.

I knock on the door and he opens it. I see him stuffing up a paper towel up his nose.

"I'm sorry this happened," I say.

"It's okay. Just stay away from me for now. Grayson could get mad again," He replies.

"What about us singing at the show? I can try to tell him that you didn't know," I suggest.

"If you want," He shrugs as he brushes past me out the bathroom.
