i woke up with grayson by my side, we were wrapped in my white comforter that reminds me of marshmallow cream, the heat of his body radiating, keeping my skin more warm than the blanket.
i glanced out the window seeing a small circle of light arising from the ground that would soon take over the darkness of the sky.
i shifted my attention back to grayson and i smiled looking at him as his eyes began to slowly open; i didn't want him to know i had been gazing at him so i suddenly close my eyes pretending i've been asleep this whole time.
"i know you're awake" he told me making me have a small grin followed by i quiet giggle.
"what time is it?" grayson asked yawning.
"6:58" i answered his question as his eyes widen and he jumps out of the bed now growing cold.
"what's wrong?" i questioned still half asleep.
"i never went home, my mom and dad are going to flip" grayson said in a panic as he quickly slipped his wardrobe on starting with his shirt, finishing by tying the shoes on his feet.
"i'll be back later though, i promise" he said coming over to my bed pecking me on the lips and then walking out of my bedroom.
i sighed as i was now left alone in my empty room; i already miss his presence here with me.
i rolled out from under the soft blanket allowing the frigid air to hit my legs as chill bumps run up my thighs, stomach, forearms, and my shoulders.
i shivered sliding on a sweatshirt making me feel snug; i opened the door grayson previously walked out of and down the stairs.
i entered the kitchen seeing a little piece of paper lying on the granite island that lies between the counters.
"hi sweetie,
i had to take off for work so i will see you later honey. i love you xo.""of course" i say to myself out loud.
my mom is always gone but it's fine at this point because i'm used to her not being here, it's almost like i'm numbed.
i take a seat on the couch flipping through channels of shows i've never heard of and have no desire to watch; however, i finally find one of my favorite shows baby daddy;i get lost in the show as time passes me.

8:03
i snuck into my house about an hour ago and as of now i'm laying in bed thinking of her.
grace drives me crazy, she always has and i know she always will; i love her.
i hop out of my bed walking into ethan's room seeing he is passed out with drool coming out of his mouth and drying on his pillow.
"ethan" i say shaking him, attempting to wake him but i fail.
"ethan wake up, it's important" i say louder and he rolls onto his back eyes slowly showing their color.
"what's wrong?" ethan questions as i sit down on his bed.
"the deal is off" i speak but he laughs and shakes his head left to right,"no way bro" he says as i let out a loud sigh.
"ethan please, i finally got her to forgive me"i beg and plead but he won't budge.
"the bet on grace was your idea" ethan says as i shove my hands into my face, continuing to sigh at his stubbornness.
"ethan please. i'm in love with her and i can't mess things up again." i tell him as he laughs in my face.
"gray i love you but you should've known that i don't let go of bets when you made this one, sorry but no" he says as i fill with rage and sadness knowing this will devastate grace.
"whatever" i get off the bed and walk out the door slamming it behind me.
i head down the stairs and out the front door; i start jogging down the road and for the first time it's not to grace's house.
i'm running towards nothing; both physically and mentally.
