Him and I

Locker room

"Greyson" I say as I reach what I hope is their locker room. I knock once but no response, I knock again hoping for a response but there's none. I walk in the locker room and see Greyson looking at all the bruises on his chest I realize he's just wearing sweatpants then cover my eyes. "Hey it's nothing you haven't seen before love" he says I uncover my eyes to see Greyson looking at me smiling, he just got badly punched in the face and he's smiling. "What was that out there" I ask him "nothing" he says smirking wipe blood off his face. I walk over to him to get a better look at his injuries. "Kid punches like a girl no offence" he mutters cleaning his cuts. "I'll be right back sit with my stuff okay" he says walking out into another room. It's been ten minutes and Greyson's still gone. I'm sitting with my stuff scrolling on my phone, Mads texted me and told me we're winning. There is about fifteen minutes left in the last period, and the score is 7-3. Greyson walks in with his hair wet and just sweatpants again. I cover my eyes as this feels like something I shouldn't be looking at. "Lyles your acting like you haven't seen me like this" he says taking my hands of my eyes. It's a comfortable silence with Greyson hugging me. "You know you're my lucky charm" he says as the buzzer rings. "You better leave before the boys come in" he says putting on a hoodie. I leave and go to the lobby finding Caleb and Mads having a moment, so I leave them to it. I'm looking for Greyson but I can't find him. Suddenly two arms wrap around me lifting me in the air and spinning in circles. "Good game Captain" I ask Greyson knowing it's him "Amazing game actually love" he says putting me on the ground but not letting go just yet. "What did Max say Greyson" I ask him knowing he's going to be mad "what do you mean" he says but I know he knows. "Before you started throwing punches and after he said something to you and you know exactly what I'm talking about" I demand "can't say" he shrugs "the time before when you and max were fighting at school what did he say" I ask "I. Don't. Know." He lies "I'll ask Cody then" I say knowing Cody would tell me no matter what Max said. Greyson grabs my arm pulling me back to him when I tried to leave. "Let me go" I demand because I need answers. "No" Greyson says in an infuriating tone. He practically dragged me all the way to the car as we're leaving together, making me sit beside him Greyson's still not talking to me. He's not ignoring me just not talking. He has blood on his face still, I want to get rid of it but he isn't talking to me right now. I haven't really seen Greyson in a bad mood that often, he's usually the one smiling. We reach their house and I know Greyson isn't going to talk to me. But he drags me inside, I practically live in their house, speaking of they're going on another business trip. They go on one at least once a month. Luckily they come back before Christmas. The 23rd to be exact. I'm take off Greyson's jersey leaving me with his hoodie and sweatpants which I keep on. I take off whatever makeup I have on, and hop on Greyson's bed pretending to sleep. Greyson walks in and comes beside me not knowing I'm still awake. "Max can't get you here" he whispers as I try to put two brain cells together. Greyson kisses my forehead meaning he's probably going to sleep. I realize that Max winking at me probably got Greyson mad but what could get Greyson that mad that he would kill Max. But Max is a sweet guy I don't understand why Greyson hates him so much. I wake up with Greyson's arms around me as if I was a teddy bear. I squeeze myself out of him grip and get ready knowing today was going to be rough. We're at school now and Greyson's still not talking to me, yet keeping a firm grip on my wrist. I somehow managed to make him let loose of my wrist. "Heyy" I say as Max approaches me "what was that last night" I ask very curious "oh that was nothing" he says putting an arm around my shoulder. I know Greyson is looking, I can feel his stares. It's lunch break now, Mads and I are just walking around the school, like we always do. "Do you know what happened yesterday" I asked Mads as it's the only thing that's on my mind. What could possibly be so bad that Greyson isn't telling me what's going on. It seems like everyone knows what's happening except me. I look around to see the boys playing basketball. Greyson is okay at basketball, he could be better. Mads finally responds saying she doesn't know, but Caleb probably made her swear she wouldn't tell. I'm thinking back to what Greyson told me last night, about how Max couldn't get me here. What did he mean by that. I am absolutely craving answers at this point so I go look for Cody. "Lilah" mads says "yes" I respond "I think Greyson is mad again" she says "why you say so" I ask and she just points to the big swarm of people
