My Philophobia G.D.

48

I'm in my bed.
Dinner was kinda good. Kylie did the best she could do.
Grayson texted me, but I didn't answer. He'll get back to Jersey soon.

I stop thinking about him and stand up.
I need to go back to the mansion. Like Hailee said...It's been a while, time to go back now.
As I wear my flip flops, I hear my phone ring. I stop and walk towards my nightstand where my phone is.
I look at the screen. It is Grayson. I stop and think about bit answering.
I want to not answer right now but I know it is not the right choice.

"hey" I pick up the phone.
"hey" he makes his voice relax my body.
"hey" I whisper, not knowing what to say.
He doesn't answer for a couple of seconds.
"I'll leave tomorrow morning" he says.
"you dad?" I understand the reason of the rush.
"he's sick"he simply says.
I don't really know how to help him. His dad got even more sick and I don't know how it feels to have your dad feeling sick because of cancer.
I know how it feels to have a dad that hurts you though.
" I'm so sorry Gray. If I can help you somehow, you know I'll try my best, don't you?" I sit on the edge of my bed. It's difficult and I don't want to leave him alone even if I thought about it for a second.
"thank you" he says silently. "can you take me and Ethan to the airport tomorrow?"
I lay on my bed and get comfortable on the pillow.
It is cold and I get under the colorful blanket.
"of course! When?" I ask.
"we have to be there at 7 a.m."
"I'll pick you up at 6.30 than!?"
"yes!" he says.
"okay" I say and stay silent. I really don't know what to say.
"I'll miss you" he interrupts the sound of the silence.
"I'll meet you as soon as I can. You'll see me"
"you look beautiful" he says out of nowhere!
"you didn't even see me" I giggle through the phone.
"I don't need to! I already know you do"
I smile.
"turn the camera on. I want to see you"
"I look like a mess Gray" I honestly say.
"come on. You look gorgeous even when you don't try"
I smile and turn the camera on.
"there she is! My beautiful princess!"
"stop" I say. It makes me feel uncomfortable.
"how are you?" I ask.
He moves his eyes from the screen of the phone to his lap. He doesn't answer and I feel like he can't talk because his emotions are hard to handle.
"hey! You can talk to me" I try to talk to him "I know it is hard baby! But everything will be alright. Trust me" I wish I could caress his cheek right now. He likes it when I do it. Whenever he doesn't feel okay, I caress his cheek and his eyes turn into a bright color that looks like honey! "do you want me to come over?" I ask.
"no, don't worry!" he says seriously "I'm okay"
"yes, sure!"
He doesn't answer. I lived in the same house with Grayson for more than 1 week and the Grayson I got to know has never been this silent.
I realise that his silence is like a scream that asks for help.
It is like a monster that eats his words and he can't control his body and mind.
I wish I knew what to say but I really don't know.
"I'll come over. Give me 10 minutes" I suddenly say.
"no, don't. It is late and you're tired"
"see you in 10 minutes."
I hang up the phone, take my wallet, my keys, wear my aire force 1s and leave.
It takes me 10 minutes to arrive at Gary's House.

As the music plays on the radio I think about Chloe and Noah. She had to tell me soemthing, but we were done eating dinner at 10 p.m. because Kylie nearly set the kitchen on fire and we had to save it.
She fell asleep soon after I was done cleaning the kitchen at 11p.m.

I enter the driveway of Gary's house and park the car in the garage.
He is at the front door, waiting for me.
I get out of my car and run towards him.
Before I could reach him, he opens his arms for me to be trapped in them. I jump and cross my ankles behind his back.
I kiss him as he grabs my butt.
"I missed you" he says walking inside the house.
"you didn't see me for just a couple of hours" I smile.
"still"
He kisses me and my back is on the door that Grayson closed with his foot a moment before.
"Ethan's not home" he says, letting me understand what he means.
"okay" I agree at what he just proposed to me.
