- Grayson POV -
I've been holding her for an hour, I kissed her head, caressing her cheek, playing with her hair. I knew she will wake up soon. She slept soundly, to be exact, she passed out. I relieved that now she's laying next to me. But, Hunter won't stop, I knew it.
I grabbed a drink then sat on the edge of my bed. I saw her body moved, she finally opened up her eyes. She turned to me, staring me with confused look
"What happen? Why am I here?" she said softly
"You passed out, what do you remember?" I asked
"The last time, I was about to go home, I felt sick, terrible headache I guess, this is weird, how did you find me?" she questioned as waking up, holding her forehead
"You're not sick, someone kidnapped you" I said handed her a glass of water
"How come? There was no one there. I went with Nara, we ate together" she explained, then drank the water
"You sure?" I asked
"Yes, she was with me all the time.. wait.. but there was a guy, when we were in the restaurant, I saw him talking with Nara, when I got back from the toilet" she said
"This guy?" I took my phone out, showing a picture of Hunter
"Yes this one, I guess, but it was the same piercing he's wearing" she said as looking to the screen
"He definitely put something on your food when your friend didn't notice. I told you that I'm in trouble, didn't I?" I raised my voice a little, she nodded
"That guy, he's the one I'm dealing with, I have no idea how he found out about you, but he did, he knew you are related to me, it's what I scared the most. Earlier, you were with him, while I saw you through the screen, I got paralyze. He can do anything, all I know, he won't stop. I'm sorry that I brought you into this" I said while put my head down, then made a glance towards her
"But you saved me, and I'm OK now" she said
"I do care for you. But, things could go worse. Before we go any further.. please forget me, and everything happened between us" I said
She look so down, her sad face, her redden eyes, holding tears. I really want to hug her right now, but I can't, I'm too scared that I might lose her forever if she's with me. I hate the fact that we can't be together.
"You know what, I was trying to get this done, you're not worth it, I realized. And yes you're right, before it's too late, before we go too far. So you're too scared? Let me show you then, I will be fine.. as you want me to be, without you"
"Good, finally you get it. Now, let me drive you home, Ed's probably looking for you" I said.
"No worries. I can take care of myself" she said, she grabbed her phone, calling someone.
Hi, can I ask for help? // I'm OK // Can you come? // I'll text you the address, thank you
"Seems you're doing better than I thought, you're not that innocent, I guess you always have guys around you" I said. Honestly, I'm curious about who's the person she talked to.
"You know nothing" she raised her voice
What a bad thing I said to her. I'm such a bad person right now, but for the sake of herself, I hope it will help her to forget me.

- Cassiela POV -
I gathered my stuffs. I called Liam earlier, he said he'll be here in 15 minutes. I don't know who else I can call at this hour. I decided to get out from Grayson's place right away, because I can't stand anymore. I waited outside, it was really cold, but I didn't care.
After 10 minutes waiting, I saw a car coming, Liam appeared, I walked towards him and his feet performed a little run reaching me. He stopped in front of me, holding both of my arms, shaking me softly..
"What happened?" Liam asked. I shook my head, telling him not to take any concern. He ran his warm hands down to my fingers, and his expression changed suddenly
"God! How long have you been out here? Your hands, so cold" he rubbed his hands against mine, making it warm
"Tell me, you OK?" he asked softly
"No.." I shook my head and tears were falling down, I can't hold it anymore, it hurts so bad
"It's him right? What did he do? Where is he?" Liam raised his voice, I've never seen him like this before, I saw anger on his face. He let go my hands and about to go inside the building, I grabbed his hand, blocking his way.
"Please" I said to him. His eyes staring at me, showing his concern. He hugged me, so tight. I cried harder than before.
"Don't go after him, please.. I will be fine, I promise I will be fine" I squealed. He broke the hug, wiped my tears and his eyes stared at me sharply.
"Then tell me what should I do?" Liam asked, I didn't answer, he hugged me again, caressing my back.
We stayed for a while before he broke the hug again and put his jacket on me, led me to get inside the car. He started the engine and began driving.
"I'll do anything to make you feel better, now tell me, you want to go home?" he said, I could feel his hand on mine, he squeezed.
"Can we go somewhere?" I asked, it was very late, but I don't care. He let his hand off me and speeding up.
He stopped the car, somewhere I've never been, it was dark, we went out the car. He led the way, he grabbed my hand. It's a hill, with a bench near the edge. He sat down on the bench, I followed beside him. He put his head down as saying
"Go on, shout it out" he said, not looking at me
I stood up, walked to the edge, the city lights, it was beautiful from way up here but it didn't make me any better, what I had inside. I can't hate him, but I hate the situation. I screamed out loud "AARRRGGHHH!!! I HATE THIS!"
"TELL ME! TELL ME THIS IS A LIE!" I cried.
"Is that all?" Liam stood behind me, I shook my head, tears still running through my cheeks. Then, he stood in front of me, wiped my tears. He took something from his pocket, a small red package, Maltesers, he teared it out, he took my hand, pour the chocolate balls into my palm. What did he do? In this situation? This is not funny.
"What is this?" I questioned. He raised his eyebrow and a small smile appeared on his handsome face. It reminded me about what I did to him, I gave him the chocolate balls, the time when he said that he will always be nice to me.
I smiled remembering that moment. I ate one of the chocolate. He stroked the top of my head like a little kid. It was 1 am when I got home, Liam walked me until the front door, Edward was waiting for me.
"Where have you been? Why did you not call or text me? What did you do until this late?" Ed asked, I could see his concern, then his eyes were on Liam
"I'll go then.. have a rest" Liam said
"You have a lot to explain" Ed said staring at Liam.
Liam left. Leaving me and Ed in living room. I checked my phone, there were unread messages and 20 missed calls. Usually, I always tell him if I come home late. Then, I told him everything, about what happened, about me and Grayson, and also Hunter. He was shocked. I explained about Liam too, that he happened to drive me home. That night I slept with him in his room. It's been a while, the last time I remember I slept with him when we lost our fat house cat.
- Grayson POV -
She left. I stood by the window, I saw her rubbing her hands one against another, God what did I do, it must be very cold out there. I watched her from a far, as minutes passed, a guy came to her. It was the same car that I saw in school last week. He hold her hands. I don't know who, but I can tell he cares. Then I saw a view that broke me down, she cried, then he wrapped his arms around her, hugged tightly. It should be me, standing there. Grayson, you're such a fool!!
I lit a cigarette, pour in any alcohol I could find from the freezer. This should make me feel better.
