Gray's POV
As soon as the the car stopped I sprinted in the house. I ran in my room, quickly went to my shower, dropped my clothes and showered.
After I was done I went to my closet and got some boxers and gray sweats. I didn't grab a shirt because I was in a rush to call my baby.
I know that might sound like I'm a marshmallow but I could care less. I finally get dressed and lay down in my bed for a little. Then I scroll to his number and click....
( A/N: This is the call between them. )
Gray
Hey beautiful, I never got your name.
Ethan
Hey Gray, * blushes *oh! my names Ethan.
Gray
Ethan, I like that but I'm still gonna call you beautiful.
Ethan
* blushes again * Stopp! Your making me blush!
Gray
* smirks and chuckles * Sorry, I can't because your beautiful.
Ethan
* blushes AGAIN! * Stoppp!
Gray
Okay, Okay, for now... What are you doing this weekend?
Ethan
Nothing really, just staying at home.
Gray
Ok, Do you wanna hangout?
Ethan
Really? With me?
Gray
Yea, why not!
Ethan
Well it's just that I'm a nerd, pretty much no one wants to hangout with me.
Then you come and your really cool, nice, and cute and you wanna hangout. I guess I'm just asking why me.
Gray
HEY! Don't talk about yourself like that. You're really cute and sweet and I think it's great that you're smart it makes you cuter.
Don't worry what others have to say. I like you because your you and that's this amazing, kind, and beautiful person! That's why I choose you.
Ethan
Thanks! I've never had anyone who's this nice to me. I've always thought that I was not good enough.
I thought that I was weird and would never make friends, that I would never fit in, that I wasn't normal.
Gray
Who cares about being normal! I'm not normal. I just don't show it but I'm not! You know what? What's your address?
Ethan
Why? Gray, what are you doing?
Gray
Just give me the address!
Ethan
Okay * gives address *
Gray
Ok, thanks! I'll pick you up in ten.
Ethan
Gray wa-
Gray
* Hangs up *

Gray's POV
After he sent his address I grabbed my keys, a hoodie, and drove to his house.
Yes, Hazel and I have matching cars we decided a while ago that we would. Anyways, I pull up to his house it looks really cozy.
I call him and tell him I'm outside. 5 minutes later I see him slowly open the door, which I thought was weird, but I let it go. He jogs to my car.
" Gray! What are you doing here? " He says as he gets in the car. " What does it look like? I'm picking you up! " I respond.
" Fine! but where are we going? " He sighs. " I guess you'll have to wait and see. " I reply. He huffs with an okay and I start driving.
I pulled up to IN-N-OUT the burger place. Out the corner of my eye I could see him bouncing in his seat from excitement.
I chuckled, paid for our food, and drove us around for a bit. I found this nice little tucked off place where you could see the ocean and walk down.
I parked and we laughed talked and had really random conversations while we ate. Eventually I asked him if he wanted to walk down by the beach.
It's now dark and the ocean is pretty calm and looks beautiful. We walk and talk for about 2 hours and it started to get really late.
We get back in the car and I drive him back home. I started to get sad as we got closer and closer to his house.
I wanted ask him to stay with me or I wanted to go with him home but I know that, that's to forward and he would think I was moving too fast so I hold off and say bye.
" Alright I guess this is where we part, unfortunately. " I said that last part really low knowing he couldn't hear me.
" Ok, I really enjoyed hanging out with you, maybe we can do this again? " He shyly whispered.
I still heard him. " Absolutely beautiful, I would love to do this again, Goodnight Love." I smirk as I see him blush
" Okay, goodnight! " He leaves the car and walk to his door. I have the biggest smile on my face as I drive home.
I can't stop thinking about his adorable little head tilts when he's confused or when he smiles it's contagious.
You're whipped man my conscious says.
SHUT UP! I replied. The whole drive I was smiling like an idiot.
When I finally made it home I showered and as soon as my head hit the pillow I was out.

Ethan's POV
After Gray hung up the call I stared thinking of ways to not get caught sneaking out.
Eventually I just go with walking quietly to the door and closing it praying that my mom and her boyfriend didn't hear.
I safely make it outside and thank god that I did. I walked to his car and asked him what he was doing.
He told me it was a surprise and he took me to get food and then a relaxing walk on the beach.
I was thinking to my self ' Is this what joy feels like? ' Actually being happy that I finally have someone, something to live for. He may not know but I was really close to doing something stupid.
I felt alone, like I had nothing no family, no siblings nothing. And then he came. Now I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't. Maybe I should just stay. ' Maybe there is a chance of happiness and it's with him.'
After the walk we get back in the car and he drives me home. As I get closer to the house I start loosing that small sense of hope and happiness.
Eventually we pull up to this place I used to call home but now it's a prison. We say our goodbye's and I try to slowly and quietly walk in the house.
Just as I reach the stairs I hear someone's footstepsβ¦
Let's just say I didn't succeed at not getting caught. I hurry to go take a shower. After I'm done I go to my room, lay in my bed and just stare at the wall unable to sleep or do anything.
Eventually I sleep because I was awoken my by alarm for school. I get dressed in sweats and a hoodie.
I decide I would keep my head down all day and ignore everyone.
