"You have to be more when crossing the road." A familiar voice that somehow relaxed my body and mind, a voice that has talked to me today.
I look at the person, only to be met with those chocolate brown eyes that everyone knew about, and yet I knew so little about him.
I stay standing there, staring at him in shock, not knowing what to say or even do.
'What happened? did he just save me? No, he only did it to be cool, don't let him break these walls that I've spent ages building and the face I've built to lie'
"Oh uh… thank you" I whisper in kindness as I quickly look away from him.
"No problem. Wouldn't want you dead now would we." Grayson jokes, but he doesn't know that inside, that's what I want, "so, you heading home?"
I shake my head, "no."
"Then where you heading off to?"
"ummm…" I point to the park as I slowly get a little bubbly feeling inside but I desperately try and push it away.
"Why don't I join you? Consider me as your new friend." He slings his arm over my shoulder, causing me to flinch a little, but he doesn't ask about it, even though he quite clearly noticed it as he leads me towards the park.
'What the fuck are you doing Avery? You shouldn't be getting this close to people. Your nothing but bad luck for them.'
"So Nessa, tell me about yourself." Grayson's voice cuts my mind off.
"ummm… I play the keyboard." I answer, knowing he already knows that from our first meeting, but I didn't want to tell him the truth.
Maybe it's fear or it's me trying to protect myself from the hurt that might come if I was to open up and then he leaves.
