--Karen's POV--
The maze walls were green showered with vines and grass. I ran my hands through the smooth glass

"Get ready" Grayson came up to me and intertwined our fingers which perfectly went together. I've never seen this side of Grayson. I think this is my favorite side of him

"I'm ready" I bit my lip and walked with him

"Look" he pointed to one side of the maze. A picture was projected of when we were little at my first soccer game

"How did you find this" I giggled

"It's not the only one" we continued down the maze turning corners never once getting stuck at a dead end. Every picture we passed was of me and Grayson and Ethan. Or of me and Grayson. When I was younger I had a huge crush on Grayson. I would always give him signs by slipping him my last cookie or giving him my spot in line for a game. And that little boy comes out every time we are together. We came across one picture in particular. One picture that was my home screen. One picture I will never forget. The last picture we took before Grayson "changed" I stopped in my tracks and stared at it

"You ok" he looked at me

"This was the last picture we took before we...changed" I looked down

"I'm here now" he stepped in front of me resting his hands on my hips

"Yes you are" I gave him a small smile. What made these pictures even more significant is that they each had a date under them. The exact same date the picture was taken. I looked at him and then at the last photo. He really was here. The little boy Grayson was...no is was right here. And I could feel this electricity between us

"Don't tell me you don't feel it..." I looked at him

"I've always felt it" he stepped closer to me "remember when we were younger and you won your first soccer game" he chuckled

"How could I forget! You ran on the field, squeezed through all the girls, and...." I stopped

"And what?" He looked at me knowing what the answer was

"And you took my first kiss" I looked up at him

"And you will never know how happy I was that I got to wake up everyday knowing I was your first kiss and you were mine"

"But things changed Grayson..." I looked down

"If I changed once don't you think I could change again?" His voice got softer

"Of course I do" but what if you don't feel the same way as me dipshit I can't just tell you

"I can change and im changing I can feel it. When I was my old self I had so much pain and weight on my shoulders. But it all got lifted when it was us again. When it was the four best friends"

"Grayson I like you" I clapped my hands together in front of his face. So slick Karen.

"You what" he looked at me. I could see the tiny smirk he was trying to hide

"I. Like. You." I took a step closer to him with every word I said

"I like you too" he said flat out

"No Grayson you don't get it, more than a friend I like you more than just a friend. But if you don't feel the same it's fine" before I could even finish talking he stepped closer and put his lips on mine. A flash went off and I knew someone or something took a picture. I looked over and saw the picture of us kissing projected on the maze

"Woah...I look that ugly?" I scrunched up my nose and pointed at myself

"You did you really did" Grayson laughed

"You better run Dolan" I don't know why I did that because im wearing big ass pumps. He was running faster than me and I swear I blinked and he vanished. I tripped over something causing me to fall. Stupid projector wire

"OW!" I rubbed my head

"Karen are you ok?!" He ran back to me

"No can you help me up?" I put my hand out. He took my hand and before he couple pull me up I pulled him down "actually I think I like the view from here" I winked at him

"The view from her isn't that bad" he leaned forward and put his forehead against mine

"Do you know how bad I want to kiss you right now?" He looked at me lips then back at my eyes

"What's stopping you" I whispered looking at him. He moved his lips down and brushed them against mine

"Fucking tease" I shook my head grabbing him by the neck and connecting out lips. Damn this boy can kiss. Of course he had some practice. Wait no Karen you can't think like that he likes you and he's changing. And "The Grayson Dolan" never likes anyone

I pulled away and looked at him

"Hey" he whined trying to kiss me again

"Not until you answer my question" I looked him in the eyes

"Alright what is it" he scrunched up his eyebrows

"Why me?" He gave me a confused look

"Why you what?"

"Why did you choose me. Out of all the perfect girls why did you choose the imperfect one"

"You interrupted heaven just to ask me that question?"

"Yes sorry for killing your mood but I need to know" I pecked his lips and looked at him again

"Why you? Well because you are smart, the only person who sees me for me, only person who has a smarter mouth than me, or person who ever actually wasted their time trying to fix me when I was broken, and mostly because you are you" he smiled at me

"It wasn't a complete waste of time" I giggled

"Exactly why it's you. And 'they' aren't perfect 'they' try to be perfect you are perfect no matter how hard you try not to be

And that's when it hit me...I'm falling in love with Grayson Bailey Dolan
