"Here, how about you ask me something you want to know about me and I'll tell you?" Grayson says suggestively as we sit at a bench and he sits across from me, but I just stay silent as I fidget with my hands in anxiety as I look around, "We can just sit here in silent, that's fine if your more comfortable that way."
I sit there and watch as kids play happily in the park with wishful eyes, and I laugh quietly while covering my mouth as I see something funny that happened, completely forgetting that Grayson is sitting here with me.
"Hey, you don't have to cover you smile when you laugh." Grayson informs me with a soft and soothing voice, causing me to quickly stop laughing as I feel the familiar yet strange bubbly feeling again so I just look back down at my hands.
"I ummm… I have to go home" I mumble before I get up and I start to walk home.
Suddenly I feel someone grasp my wrist and my heart instantly quickens with fear and I flinch quiet violently and they quickly let my wrist go.
"Avery, are you ok? Is something going on?" Grayson's calm and soothing voice asks, that still somehow are able to calm my heart and little bubbly feeling erupt inside my stomach.
"I'm fine. You just scared me a little, that's all." I continue to walk home with the sound of Grayson's footsteps calming footsteps walking behind me.
'What is going on with me? I've never felt this way for someone ever.'
I get to the end of my driveway and I freeze when I see that my father's car parked in the driveway, a familiar sense of fear that overflows my body, knowing he's going to be mad that I'm home an hour later then usual.
