"Who are we to each other?" he questioned. "You tell me," she asked as her voice cracked. "Clearly nothing" he crossed his arms. "Nothing" She swallowed hard. "Yea nothing," he said as he leaned against the counter. "Nothing," she nodded as she turned away from him. Trying not to cry but the tears were burning her eyes.
She went upstairs to finish getting dressed. Grabbing her things and putting them in her bag. He came upstairs and leaned against the door frame, just watching her. He chuckled slightly as she was packing her bags.
"We do this at least once a week," he said. "I'm done" she looked at him. "Another thing you say" he rolled his eyes. "I mean it this time" she pushed past him and went downstairs. "Alright see you later," he said. "I'm nothing to you, right? Then that means not seeing each other" she slipped her shoes on. "Yeah sure," he made his way downstairs. "What is your problem?" she questioned. "I don't have one," he said. "Alright stop" he grabbed her arm before she could get out the door. "Get off of me," she said. "Stop" he pulled her back to him. "You know you are my everything," he said. "Let me go," she said. "Come on don't do this," he said. "No, you gaslight me all the time then say what you THINK I want to hear so I'll stay but not this time," she said. "Fine go," he said as he let her go. "I will!" She grabbed her bag and left the house.
She got into her car and pulled out of the driveway. Once she was down the street she pulled over and started crying. The last two years were just a waste of time. She took a deep breath in and got her mind straight before driving. She made it to her best friend's house and he was already outside waiting for her.
"Come here," he said as she got out of the car. "Grayson," she said as she walked to him. "It's ok" he hugged her. "Finally done with that asshole," he said. "Yea I am," she said as she wrapped her arms around his waist. "Come on in," he said as he kept his arm around her shoulders, leading her inside.
They went inside and Grayson went back to the car to get her things. She sat on the couch trying not to get upset. Grayson placed her things in his room and grabbed a box of tissues. He sat next to her and allowed her to just cry it out, allowing her to feel whatever she needed to feel.
"Skylar just breath," Grayson said as he rubbed her back. "I'm just nothing to him," Skylar said. "You are too good for him," Grayson said. "I hate him" she started to cry. "Come on, he's not worth your tears" he hugged her to his chest.
She cried against his chest until she felt that she didn't have anything left to cry about. She sat up and Grayson wiped her tears away from her cheeks. She looked at him and she knew she would be ok. Grayson and Skylar have always been friends since forever. She always had him and he always had her.
"Thanks for allowing me to cry it out," she said. "I'm always here for you," he said. "I know," she smiled slightly. "We are having a little get-together later tonight, If you aren't up for it I'll cancel it," he said. "I think I need people around me. It will be good" she said. "Alright," he smiled slightly as he looked at her. "I'm going to lay down for a little bit, but let me know when they are coming," she said as she got up. "I will," he nodded.
She grabbed her bag and went into his room. She laid down and ended up falling asleep. Later on, Grayson entered the room and gently woke her up. Sitting on the bed next to her as she opened her eyes.
"They are about 20 minutes out," he said. "How long was I asleep for?" she questioned. "About two hours," he said. "Oh," she nodded and sat up in bed. "Are you ok?" he questioned. "Yea I'm fine. I'm going to get into the shower, keep them out of here?" She looked at her. "It's just Ethan and his girlfriend, a few other friends," he said. "Still I don't want them seeing me naked," she said. "True," he smiled. "I'll make sure you won't be bothered," he said. "Thank you" she kissed his cheek before getting up, going to the bathroom.
She started the shower when Ethan walked into the house. Grayson went out of the bedroom to make sure they wouldn't bother Skylar.
"Uh-huh Grayson got laid last night" Ethan jokes. "No, I didn't" Grayson rolled his eyes. "Then who is in the shower?" Ethan asked. "Skylar," Grayson said. "Oh finally," Ethan said. "No, not finally, she just broke up with her boyfriend," Grayson said. "So take your chance, you know you are in love with her" Ethan said. "It's not the right time," Grayson said. "So when are you going to tell her?" Ethan asked. "I don't know," Grayson said as he sat down on the couch.
Skylar got out of the shower and started to get dressed when she could hear Ethan and Grayson talking.
"Tell her that you are in love with her," Ethan said. "And what if she doesn't feel the same way?" Grayson said. "I'll be crushed and the friendship would never be the same," he said "You'll never know until you tell her," Ethan said as he sat down next to Grayson. "Maybe one day," Grayson said. "Hey Ethan," Skylar said as she entered the room. "Hey Skylar," Ethan said. "So what are we talking about?" She asked. "Just random stuff," Ethan said as he shot Grayson a look. "Cool," She said as she sat down in the chair. "Yea, just messing around," Grayson said. "I'm going to a party tonight, you guys in?" Ethan asked. "I am," Skylar said. "Sure" Grayson nodded.
They all left Grayson's apartment and headed downtown to where the party was. Once they arrived Grayson offered to take Skylar's jacket and helped her take it off. He placed it into the room where the coats were. Skylar went and grabbed two drinks for Grayson and herself. Handing him the drink once he caught up with her.
"Here you go," she smiled. "Thank you," he smiled. "So what were you and Ethan truly talking about?" she questioned. "Just stuff," Grayson said. "Ok," she nodded. "Anything I need to know about?" she looked at him. "Not really," he said. "Ok" she took a sip from her drink.
The night went on and the drinks started flowing, music was going and Skylar was enjoying herself. She kept an eye on Grayson though, because she knew what they were talking about. She didn't realize that she had feelings for Grayson until she overheard them talking.
"Ok so we are going to play a game," Ethan said. "Well, it never has I" Ethan chuckled. "Should be interesting," Sklyar said. "Yea should be," Grayson said. "Never have I ever hid my feelings for someone," Ethan said. "Ethan!" Grayson said. He placed his drink down and left the apartment. Skylar rushed behind him, making sure he was ok. "Grayson, stop," She said as she tried to catch up with him. "Go enjoy yourself," Grayson said. "No, stop," she said as she finally caught up with him, grabbing his arm. "What Skylar?" he asked as he turned to face him. "I heard you two talking today so I know what that was about. Now talk to me" she said. "I'm in love with you," he admitted. "I heard that part," she said. "And I don't want to lose this between us so I didn't say anything," he said. "I have feelings for you," she said. "But it's complicated, because of what happened today but that doesn't mean I don't want to be with you" she looked at him. "So now what?" he asked. "We take it slow" she grabbed his hand. "Wait so you want this between us?" he questioned. "Yea I do" she admitted. "Just no rush," she said. "Ok," he nodded and laced their fingers together. "No rush," he said. "No rush" she looked at him. "WE DID IT!" Ethan said as he was out in the hallway. "Oh hush it," Grayson said. "Don't mind him," he smiled. "I never do," Skylar laughed.
Grayson placed his arm around Skylar's shoulders as they walked back to the party. They stayed for a few more hours before leaving and heading back to Grayson's apartment.
"I'll sleep on the couch," he said. "No you won't," she said as she pulled him to the bedroom with her. "Oh," he said. "Sleep in the same bed with me," she said. "Ok," he nodded.
She grabbed one of his oversized shirts and went into the bathroom to change. She came back with his tee-shirt on and her panties, and she got into bed. He was already in bed with just his boxers on, she snuggled to his chest. Pulling the blanket around them as he wrapped his arm around her. Kissing the top of her head as she started to drift off to sleep. He also fell asleep holding her close to him. In the morning she shuffled in the bed to realize that she was alone. She groaned as she opened her eyes and her head was pounding. She sighed and sat up in bed, stretching before getting herself out of bed. She slipped on her slippers and made her way to the bathroom. Brushing her teeth and her hair before making her way into the living room. Grayson wasn't to be found in the apartment. She grabbed a glass and got herself some water before sitting on the couch. She grabbed her phone that she left on the coffee table and checked her messages.
"Oh you are awake," Grayson said as he walked through the door. "Yea, where have you been?" she questioned. "Down to the coffee shop to get coffee and donuts," he said as he sat next to her. "best hangover medicine around," he said. "Yea I need it," she said. "I have aspirin if you need it," he said. "No, the coffee and donuts are enough," she said as she took the cup from his hand. "Good" he kissed her forehead before pulling out the donuts. "Do you remember last night?" he questioned. "Last night?" she asked. "Yea last night" he looked at her. "Were you that drunk?" he questioned. "Of course I remember last night" she smiled as she looked at him. "Oh," he took a deep breath in. "I thought I was going to have to tell you again," he said. "You can" she leaned her head against his shoulder. "I love you," he said. "I love you," she said as she played with his hand.
They sat on the couch and ate their donuts. They decided to take it easy that day, just stay on the couch and watch whatever tv show they wanted. She finally got up after a few hours and stretched. Going to the kitchen to make something to eat. Grayson got up off the couch and walked into the kitchen where she was. Wrapping his arms around her waist and resting his head against her shoulder. Softly kissed her cheek as she placed her hands over his.
"Let's go out to eat," he whispered. "Sounds good," she said. "Or order in?" she asked. "I want to take you out," he said. "Ok" she nodded as she leaned back against him. "Where do you want to go?" he asked. "You know me, I like anything," she smiled. "I know that but I want you to choose," he said. "Let's go down to the restaurant down by the beach," she said. "That's a good idea," he said as he kissed her cheek again. "Yea I love their food" she admitted. "I know you do," he smiled. "So it's a date," she said. "A date," he nodded. "Do you have anything to wear?" he asked. "Yes I did grab my clothes, well mainly all my clothes," she said. "Ok," he smiled as he held her close to him.
She pulled away from his grip and went into the bedroom. She changed into something a little bit nicer as he also got ready. He grabbed her hand as she entered the living room. Kissing her cheek softly before grabbing his jacket. She also grabbed her jacket and phone before heading out the door. They left the apartment and got into the car, making their way down towards the beach.
"Stay there," Grayson said as he got out of the car. He smiled as he made his way over to the passenger side and opened the door for her. "After you," he said as he held his hand out for her. "Thank you" she smiled and grabbed his hand, getting out of the car.
He laced their fingers together as they walked up to the restaurant. They got a table and he sat next to her, placing his arm around her shoulders. They looked over the menu but they both knew what they wanted. They ordered their food and started talking.
"Can I ask you a question?" she asked as she turned to him. "Sure," he said as he looked at her. "How long?" she asked. "What?" He responded. "How long have you been in love with me?" she questioned. "It's hard to know when I started to truly catch feelings for you," he said. "Oh," she nodded. "Are you sure that's the answer?" she looked at him, "I've always had feelings for you but they just deepened every day I'm around you" he smiled. "Aw, that's sweet," she said. "It's true," he said as he tucked her hair behind her ear. Placing his hand against her chin.
She leaned in toward him, placing her lips against his. He smiled against her lips and kissed her softly. Brushing his thumb against her cheek as he kept the kiss. She rested her hand on his leg as she moved closer to him. Skylar pulled away when the food arrived at the table.
"Opps" he smiled. "No oops" she kissed his cheek.
They started eating their food and once they finished he paid for dinner. Walking back to the table reaching for her hand as she got up, She grabbed his hand and laced their fingers together as they walked out of the restaurant. She pulled him towards the beach. He followed her down to the shore, watching the waves crash into the shore. He moved behind her wrapping his arms around her waist. Leaning his head against her shoulder as they watched the sun finish setting, the darkness falling around them. The moon shining on the water, she leaned back against him.
"Perfect" she whispered. "You are," he whispered in her ear. FInally spending these moments with the right person" she placed her hand over his. "These moments are priceless," he said before kissing her cheek. "Yea they are" she turned to face him.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and looked up at him. He placed his hands on her hips and looked at her. Leaning down, kissing her softly, gently tugging at her bottom lip. She smiled against his lips before softly pulling away, resting her forehead against his. He pulled her closer to him, wrapping his arms around her as she rested her head against his chest.
"I knew you were trouble when I met you," Jackson said. "Jackson?" Skylar said as she pulled away from Grayson. "Slut 101 right," Jackson smirked. "I thought three years meant something to you," Jackson said. "You are an asshole, Leave," Grayson said. "Three years meant so much to me but not to you," Skylar said. "Because you jump in bed with any guy you see," Jackson said. "Fuck off," Grayson said. "Oh, the pretty boy has something to say," Jackson said as he stepped closer. "Pretty boy will knock you on your ass," Grayson said. "OK stop," Skylar said as she got between the two. "Pretty boy is just a rebound and he needs to know his place," Jackson said. "You wish," Grayson said. "Yet did it not take her but what a day or two before getting with you after we break up?" Jackson said. "What does that say?" he crossed his arms. "Grayson isn't a rebound, '' Skylar said. "If you say so sweetheart" Jackson rolled his eyes and walked away. "Don't listen to him," Skylar said as she grabbed Grayson's hand. "Don't" Grayson said as he pulled away from her and walked back to the car.
She followed Grayson back to the car and got inside. The ride home was awkward and silent, Grayson pulled into the driveway. He got out of the car and went straight into the apartment. She sighed and got out of the car as well, making it inside the apartment. She sat on the couch as he was sitting in the chair. She didn't know what to say but she wanted him to know that he wasn't a rebound. She also knew right now he wouldn't believe a word she said. She laid back on the couch and stared at the ceiling, allowing the tears to fall from her eyes. He went into the bedroom and locked the door behind him as she cried on the couch. She finally fell asleep on the couch, later on, that night he came out of the room. He placed a blanket around her and turned off the lights before going back to the bedroom. In the morning she woke up when the sun started to peek through the windows. She sat up and rubbed her eyes, stretching and looking around to see if she saw Grayson.
"Grayson?" she said as she stood up. He wasn't in the apartment but she didn't find a note from him. 'We can talk later but just not right now, you can still stay I just need space xo Grayson'
She sighed and went into the bedroom to get her clothes. She got ready for the day and decided to go looking for apartments. She didn't want to bother Grayson or make him feel like he couldn't come back to his apartment. She found one closer to her job and it was perfect. She signed the lease and put her bags inside the apartment. She locked up and went to work, trying to get Grayson off her mind but she felt awful about what happened. After work, she returned to Grayson's apartment and left him a note as well as his key.
'I love you and will always love you. I know you feel like you are a rebound but the truth be told I've been in love with you before Jackson came along. He was a distraction because I didn't want to lose you. Seems like I have lost you now and that hurts and I will never forgive myself. I've moved out and left space for you. You have my number if you want to talk. Please just know I love you and would love to be with you. Xo Skylar'
She left the apartment and went to her apartment. She ordered take-out and just ate on the floor. She looked out her window just staring at the moon. Remember how the moment was so perfect before Jackson ruined it. She grabbed her blanket and laid on the floor, staring at the ceiling before falling asleep. All Skylar could do was give Grayson space and hope that he could see that he wasn't a rebound. She went to work each day and came back home, living her mundane life. There was a storm coming in that weekend and she just wanted to get home before it started. Skylar's friend needed her to work her shift so Skylar was stuck at work for a few more hours. Once she got off of work it was raining, she left her job. Stopping to get her something to eat before going back to her apartment. She sat at the table she just bought and watched the rainfall from the window. It was getting pretty bad outside. The thunder was loud and the lighting would light up her whole apartment. The lights flicked a few times before turning off.
"Ugh, it's going to be a long night" she sighed.
She got up from the table and cleaned up her mess. She heard someone knocking on the door. She walked to the door and opened it up. Grayson was standing there soaking wet.
"I love you," he said as he looked at her. "Grayson," She said. "Come inside, you are soaking wet," she said. "I don't care," he said as he pulled her to him and kissed her softly. Placing his hands against her cheeks keeping the kiss.
She smiled against his lips and kissed him back, wrapping her arms around his neck. She pulled him inside of the apartment and closed the door behind them. She pulled away from him and went into the bathroom to turn on the shower. He followed her into the bathroom. She started to take his wet clothes off of him.
"You are going to get sick," she said. "Get in the shower, I'll throw these in the dryer," she said. "Thanks," he said as he kissed her. "Of course now go," she said.
From that moment on nothing could separate them. Grayson was never the rebound, he was always the one that she wanted.
