The Boy Next Door (Grayson Dolan)

Chapter 2

"Hunter! Come help me please!" My mom yelled from downstairs. "Coming!" I said walking downstairs. "What did you need help with?" I asked. "Could you set the table for me?" She asked and i nodded, "How many people are eating?" I asked. "7." She replied and i nodded. As i washed my hands, the doorbell rang. "Could you get that?" My asked and i nodded. I opened the front door to see Ethan, Grayson, and two other ladies. "Hi Ethan, Hi Grayson." I smiled. "Hey, this is our mom, and our sister, Cameron." I smiled. "Hi." I said as i shook their hands. "I'm Hunter, this is my older brother Logan and my mom is in the kitchen." I said as i led them into the living room. "Mom!" I said as i walked into the kitchen. "I'm coming." She said as she came into the living room. "Hi, i'm London." She smiled. Mrs. Dolan shook her hand. "Hi, I'm Mrs. Dolan, this is Ethan, Grayson, and Cameron." She said. My mom smiled. "Dinner will be ready in about 10 minutes." she said. After about 20 minutes, my mom announced that dinner was ready. Mom and Mrs. Dolan sat on each end of the table and Logan and Cameron sat on one side while Ethan, Grayson and i sat on the other. As they were leaving, my dad came home. He did not look very happy. "REALLY LONDON?!" My dad yelled. Logan and i ran upstairs. "Have a good night." My mom said and quickly closed the door. I quickly changed and laid down. "YOU HAD DINNER WHILE I WAS WORKING!" My dad yelled again. After laying in my bed and listening to them fight, i grabbed my phone and and opened my window. I carefully climbed out onto my rooftop and looked out over the city. I felt tears roll down my cheeks. "Hunter?" Grayson whispered. I quickly wiped my face my face. "Hi, Grayson." I whispered. "What's wrong?" He asked climbing over to where i was sitting. "Nothing." I whispered. "Hunter, i can tell when something's wrong. Especially when there's an incredibly strong girl sitting on a rooftop crying her eyes out at 2:00 am." He whispered.l I just looked at Grayson. "Look, if you don't wanna talk about it right now, you have my number and you know where i live. He said beginning to crawl away. "Wait." I whispered. He sat next to me again. "It's my parents. They always fight over the dumbest things." I sighed. "When they fight i come out here. It clears my mind. And my mom, she wants us to be normal so badly, no matter how bad the fight is, the next day is always like nothing happened."I said and Grayson hugged me. The front door opened and slammed so i quickly pulled Grayson into my room with me. I looked out the window to see my dad leaving. "I guess this fights different." I whispered and Grayson hugged me again. "Uh, my mom's looking for me. I have to go." I nodded. "Night, Grayson." I said as i plugged my phone up. "Night, Hunter." He said as he left my room. I closed and locked my window and laid down.
