"That's the past, this is the present, Grayson, and now it's kind of different." It had been a year since you had last seen your best friend Grayson. He went away to college and came back two days ago.
But, when you guys tried to hang out. It just felt off, you know, he didn't seem the same.
"I know, y/n. But we can't just stop being friends." You looked at your feet dangling off the bed.
"True, but remember when you promised that you wouldn't change. You pinky promised, Gray, pinky promised."
"I did, didn't I? Well, then if we are being one hundred percent honest, I know why I'm different." You turned your head to face him.
"Why?" He looked at his hands and started playing with his fingers.
"I got a girlfriend, her name is-uhh-," he looked around the room,"Jessica."
You have always liked Grayson, but you never told him because he was always fucking every other girl. You knew he was a fuckboy, but you see the good side of him.
"Can I see a picture?" You asked, hoping a picture will confirm that he really did have a girlfriend.
"Uh, suuure?" He pulled out his phone and I said," Why is it taking so long?" You reached out for his phone. He pulled it away quickly.
"Give me a second." He then turned the phone towards you. "Here."

I guess she was real. Wait a second, the picture looked familiar to you.
"Gemma." You whispered.
"What?" He asked.
"Your lying!" You jumped on to the bed.
"THATS GEMMA STYLES!!!! I KNOW HER!! HARRY STYLES SISTER!!" You jumped on top of him and grabbed his phone.
You scrolled to the name of the Instagram account. You pointed to it.
"See her names Gemma!" You got off from on top of him.
"Why did you lie to me?" He turned to you.
"I can't tell you."
"But remember we're being honest, you even said it."
"Fine, im different because I actually like this girl."
"So, its not Gemma?"
"No, it's not Gemma, it's another girl. She is so beautiful and I know how I go from girl to girl? I'm sure that I want to stick with this person for the rest of my life. I'm pretty sure she doesn't like me back because she's very insecure."
"Who is she?" You asked, tears filling your eyes because he didn't like you.
"Her name starts with a y/fl." Your eyes lit up, no it couldn't be you.
"Come on, you really need to take a hint." And then he kissed you. Soft and sweet and filled with love. There were sparks, I know cliche, true.
Years later, you met Gemma Styles and thanked her for helping you guys get together even though she had no clue how.
