Alone (Grayson Dolan)

Chapter 1 Not the Usual Mall Trip

** Maddie's pov**

No. I repeatedly say to myself. It's not worth it Maddie. Stop. No. I put down the razor and lean over the sink and look into the mirror. I have nothing. Nothing. I live here with my adoptive parents who just don't know who I am. They don't let me in. Sure I have a nice house and have food provided and everything i could ask for. But they don't talk to me and get to know me. They leave me out.

I walk out of my bathroom in my huge room and down to the kitchen. Where I see my adoptive mom Cindy, dad Berry, and they're real daughter Taylor. We got along really well actually. She let me in to her life, unlike her parents.

My mom and dad were killed in a car accident when I was three. I , was in the car accident but survived .. due to me being strapped in my car seat and my mom and dad not wearing a seatbelt. We were driving in the country roads here in New Jersey and it was dark and raining and they were laughing and having a good time, like they always did. They were in love. Deeply in love. The music was blaring their favorite song at the moment. My dad saw there was a deer in the road and swerved around it but soon lost control and did five 360 degrees turns and landed into deep ditch filled with water. They instantly both flew out of the window and drowned in the water, instantly dying at the scene. I, was still in my car seat strapped in. That's all I remember. December 24 was the day this happened, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day spent in the hospital and three weeks after that.

I sat at the table with all of them as we ate breakfast, which is never good because they suck at cooking. "So this weekend me and your father are leaving for two weeks to Spokane, Washington. For a business trip for berry," she smiles and pats him on the back. "So we're just staying here alone?" Taylor says. "Yes. I'm pretty sure I can trust you girls. Can I not?" "Yes mom. Yes you can." Taylor says. I can tell she has a plan. She made that face that she's coming up with something. "Okay we leave in two days."

I finish up my breakfast and go upstairs and get ready for school. It's Thursday, our second day of finals before tomorrow which is the last day before break. I put on my leggings and a maroon sweater and a black and white scarf with my boot socks and my chestnut uggs. I throw my hair up into a messy bun and grab my back pack and Taylor drives us today. We switch off every day.

I'm 16 years old a Junior at Mary Bay High School in New Jersey. I'm 5'3 and fairly skinny but thicker thighs than usual skinny girls and I'm toned I play softball and gymnastics so I'm very muscular. I have a big butt and a C cup boobs. Not tryna Bragg.

Taylor is a senior so I don't hang with her at school because her friends are goth and weird. She's pretty goth and dark and she wears black and dark make up. We're so different. I go and find Logan and Skylar, my best friends since we were 9. "So my parents are leaving this weekend for two weeks-" I begin to say. "Wait..so we can throw a big ass party guys we could be the most popular juniors in the school!" Yells Skylar. "No we shouldn't. We'd probably get drunk and do stupid things." "C'mon Maddie. We're juniors. We have three semesters left of high school we need to have some fun," says Skylar. "Yea I'm kinda with Maddie. I really think we shouldn't. What if we get raped or what if we-" Skylar puts her hand over Logan's mouth. "There's all these what if's. None of that will really happen. Think of the positives. We could find boyfriends, we could have se-" "Sex. Really?" I say. Skylar is the one out of all of us to be the freaky one. She's had sex a bunch of times. She lost her virginity to Luke Walker in freshman year and did it with three other guys since then. Me and Logan, on the other hand have done basically nothing. She hasn't kissed anyone ever but I have. And I don't like to talk about it. "Sex really. We could have a little fun and be free guys!" Skylar says. The bell rings for us to go to zero period. "You're on your own with this," Logan pats her shoulder and me and her walk to our class. We sit down at our table and begin class.

At the end of the day I go over to Logan's house and we go into her room. "I can't believe Sky wants to throw a party in your house like seriously?" she says flopping on her bed and turning on her tv. "I know , but I mean now that I think about it, it kinda sounds fun." I say smiling thinking of being free. I sit down beside her. She sits up and stares at me with her "are you fucking kidding me?" face. "Your being serious? Maddie. What happened to my friend who was a goodie goodie like me?"she says. "Wellll.." I trailed off,"we don't have fun like Skylar. She puts herself out there and makes new friends and has fun-" "Exactly why everyone calls her a you know what. She puts herself out there to guys as well and they use her for sex," Logan says. I think about it. "Why don't we just go pick up Sky and go to the mall or something and grab a bite to eat. We'll talk about this later," I say. Logan nods,"Great idea." We get up and she tells her mom were leaving and we go pick up Sky and go to the mall. We first go to pink and I spend my cash I had made working there, I work at pink. I bought some cute matching bras and panties and a hoodie. We went over to American eagle and they bought stuff and then we went into adidas. "Hey Mads were gonna go over to Hollister real fast , I need to get something for my sister for Christmas," says Logan and they leave. I walk over to the back of the store to a talk muscular looking man wearing black jeans , an adidas hoodie and a black hat with black sunglasses. I give him a confused look and he sees me and he turns around and acts like he didn't see me and shuffles through the shirts hanging on the wrack. I go over to the spot fight next to him because I see a shirt I like and he looks at me and I look at him and he walks over to the sweatshirts. Okay I don't know what he's doing but I follow him over to the sweatshirts and say,"Why are you running away from me?" He turns around and whispers,"Okay you caught me. I'm Grayson Dolan. I thought this disguise was good enough for people to not notice me but I'm sure you want to take a picture and have an autograph signed. Just please can we make this quick I don't want any body else to see-" I cut him off,"Grayson? Grayson Dolan?" "Yes yes that's me." I've heard his name mentioned at school a lot by all the girls and he's come up in Logan and Skylar's conversations. "And you have a twin Ethan right?" "Yes yes I do." He smiles this cute cheesy smile.

His jaw is as sharp as a knife I feel like he could cut me with it. His teethe are perfectly straight and white and he has a dimple on his left cheek. When he smiles it makes me wanna smile. I don't even know this dude but damn right he was hot. He takes off his ridiculous glasses and we look eachother in the eye. "Grayson do you think this will fit-" this boy walks over that looks exactly like him. Must be Ethan. "Woah am I interrupting something?" He says. We break our eye contact and I look down to the floor and Grayson scratches his hair and clears his throat. "Well I'm gonna go check out and leave you two," Ethan says and walks away. We look at eachother again. I have to look up at him. He's at least two and a half heads taller than me. He clenches his jaw and I blush because I thought it was really cute. He chuckles and does that smile again. I can't believe I'm looking at this boy. He's literally a goddess send from up above just for me. I get interrupted by Sky and Logan yelling for my name. We were behind this display in the corner so no one could see us. "Oh no those are my friends, I have to go if they see you they'll scream," I say picking up my bags I dropped on the ground. He grabs my hands and looks me in the eye. "I never caught your name?" He says. "It's Ma-Maddie," I studder. "I have to go I'm so sorry," I say walking away in panic. He runs after me and stops me and turns me around and kisses me. Wait no this did not just happen.

He turns me around and says,"Could I have your number? So we can maybe get to know eachother or just chill one time," he says. I look around and look in my purse and I find a pen and write my number on his forearm really sloppy. "Call me," I say biting my lip and he winks. I run around the corner of the display and there's Logan and Sky standing there. "We've been looking for you Mads let's go we have to be home by 8," Sky says and we get out of the store and out to the parking garage and In the car. I can't stop thinking about Grayson. He's so attractive I've never seen anybody more attractive. I'm not really into fangirling and like being obsessed with famous people but for sure the two girls in the car with me are. I instantly get a text from a random number with a different area code. Hey beautiful:) it says. I blush and smile to my self. "What are you all smiling about," Logan looks over at me while she's driving. "I may have just found the one."

Updates about every week hopefully. I will make them long and juicy. Love everyone I will make this book go slow and build up tension and there will be plot twists and exciting adventures. Maddie and Grayson will go through a lot. Xoxox London
