Chapter 4 - Pain and Flirting?

Hazel's POV

When we get home I'm pretty upset. As I look at Gray and he has this stupid smirk on his face. The same one I saw him have when got in the car after school.

I storm up to my room. Then my phone rings. I immediately know who it was but I didn't wanna talk. Then I realized that if we don't talk now we will never get over this so I answer.

" Hello? " I said slightly annoyed. " Hey! " I hear Darius respond. Silence... I don't respond. He breaks the silence.

" I'm sorry, OKAY! Yell at me, scream, anything just please don't ignore me. " I don't respond again but start to feel guilty so then I cave.

" Alright, I'm sorry too, but you don't get to just leave and not call or even text, show up one day and expect me to be happy. " I start to get emotional.

" It hurt think of all the possibilities that you might be hurt or even dead and some nights I cried, I cried and asked GRAY! If you hated or didn't like me. " I pause then continue.

" YOU WERE AND GRAY IS THE ONLY THINGS KEEPING ME FROM ENDING MY LIFE! WHEN I LOST YOU IT FELT LIKE I LOST A PART OF MYSELF I COULD NEVER GET BACK! " I scream.

" It felt like you never cared at all and it hurt. " I whisper sadly.

He just listens and finally speaks. " I DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE OKAY! DONT YOU EVER THINK THAT I HATE OR DON'T LIKE BECAUSE I LOVE YOU! " He takes a deep breath.

" MY PARENTS NEVER GAVE ME A CHOICE AND IT HURT LIKE HELL TO LEAVE YOU! I HAD NO CHOICE! IM SORRY FOR NOT CALLING I THOUGHT YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO TALK TO ME! " He yells.

" After everything I've done, the worst was leaving you when you needed me most and I hate myself for leaving you! I'm sorry. " He whispers as well.

By the end of his speech we both are sobbing messes. I finally understand his side and I feel guilty.

I feel horrible for being so blinded by my own sadness that I didn't take his side into consideration but, he's my best friend and I needed him.

" I-Im sorry I never took your side into consideration. I never thought of it that way. I-I just was so hurt. Please don't hate or beat yourself up it wasn't your fault. I love you too and I really missed you a lot. " I guiltily say then chuckle.

" I missed you too, so much. OH GOD! I'm so glad we did that, definitely needed that. " He chuckles " Yep, I needed that a lot. " I chuckled back.

" I'm so glad your not mad anymore. It's like a weight lifted off of my shoulders. " He sighs of relief. " Mine too, I really needed to get that off my chest. " I tiredly say.

" Let's hangout this weekend." I yawn " Ok, sure. Your place! " He responds happily " Ok, I'm tired now so I'll see you tomorrow at school. " I say almost asleep.

" Ok, see you tomorrow! " he says.

I fall asleep thinking about how happy I am.

Gray's POV

I have Computer Lab for 3rd period and Hazel has Art, so she doesn't have class with me. I was mad about it, but I'm not creative so I don't care.

I walked in class and see a boy with a hood on ,his head. I don't know why, but I just felt the need to be next to him or this pull to him.

So I sat in the back by him. The teacher assigned an assignment you had to work on with a partner with, so I turned to him and asked.

" Hey, wanna be my partner? " He turned towards me with the sweetest smile I have ever seen and said. " Yea...sure. " I smiled back and we got to work.

The whole time we were working I was just thinking ' Did I just smile? ' I couldn't help but stare at his beautiful face. He was the most gorgeous thing I had ever seen.

I was sure there was no one or nothing as beautiful as him. I love his smile the most, it's so... captivating and warm.

After admiring him for what felt like hours I noticed the light tint of this adorable pink on his cheeks. ' He's blushing. ' I smirked, loving that I had that effect on him.

Soon after class finished and I stopped him before he could walk away " HEY! where are you going? " I asked. " Home. " He replied.

" Ok, wait before you go let me see your phone. " I chuckled at his confused face but nonetheless he gave it to me.

I put my number into his phone then text myself so I had his. " Here, now you have my number. So I can call you to see that pretty little face of yours as I make you blush. "

I smirked as I saw him blush harder, nod, and scramble away. I chuckled at his innocence, which I knew there was a chance of ruining but little did he know that I would love to ruin every little bit of it.

I smirked and chuckled at the thought as I walked to the car to see an angry Hazel, but I wasn't gonna let her ruin my mood. So got in the car thinking about how I'm gonna call him an- I never got his name.

Oh well, I can just give him a name. I'm pretty much excited to think about how much I miss him already.

The whole car ride I was just stuck in my thoughts about the most gorgeous boy I had ever seen and how he was already mine. He might not have known it but he's mine.

We get to the house and I sprint upstairs ready to shower and call my baby. It's weird how I already have this need to be around him already but I do, how could I not he's so innocent and cute.
