Grayson's POV

I walk into the hallways hand and hand with Nini as I grab things and put them into the bus, we gather everything and walk into the almost abandoned looking theater

"This place is...eerie" I say as we walk on the stage

"Hey girls....how y'all feelin" Kourtney asks as she walks over to us

"Drained" I say coldly and Kourtney looks at me worriedly before turning to Nini who is cuddled into my shoulder

"Well sis...how you holdin up"Kourtney asks, I feel my phone buzz causing me to pull it out and I scoff as another text from my mother comes in, she's begging to talk about everything but I'm not ready and she needs to understand that

"I don't know Kourt...I actually feel...weirdly guilty...it's like I caused this...it's a sign" Nini says and I frown at her as I put my phone away

"How could you have caused this" Kourtney asks just as confused as me

"I....had a strange weekend and...minus my time with Grayson but...I started thinking about applying to this performing arts school-

"Performing arts school" Kourtney and I say at the same time

"Yea...it's call the youth actors conservatory....slightly amazing and also totally unimportant right now...I don't know what I was thinking" Nini says and my heart sinks a bit

I've heard of that school, my mom almost put us in that school before deciding on East high since she wanted us home oppose to being in dorms

"I....I need a minute" I say before detaching from Nini and walking off, I swallow a lump in my throat as I try to keep tears from coming down my eyes

Everyone is leaving me....what's going on right now and why can't I just have something stable...my moms leaving and now Nini may be leaving

"You ok Grayson" I hear causing me to turn and see Ricky standing there, I feel anger boil up inside all at once as I run my hands through my hair

"What do you want Ricky...like really" I ask harshly and he looks at me shocked

"I...just wanted to check on you....I saw you looked upset" He says softly and I scoff

"Why are you suddenly so worried about me....if you wanna bang my sister just say that but don't use me to get to her" I say angrily and Ricky looks at me hurt and awkwardly

"I'm not-

"Save it" I say before walking off and away from everyone

NiNi's POV

I look around for Grayson as she ran off and Miss Jen is worried about her and I am too, I shouldn't have said anything about me possibly leaving until I was sure , especially with what's going on at her house with her mom

"Fuck.....Ricky...have you seen Grayson" I ask and Ricky looks at me with a sigh

"She ran off that way after I tried checking on her...whatever you said to her...might wanna fix it" He says before walking away from me, I feel a pit in my stomach as I breath in then out to calm my nerves

I walk in the direction Ricky pointed me too and go to that area, I hear sniffling and talking

"Dad I can't deal with all of this crap! She's leaving I can see it in her face and with mom leaving too...I just....I'm tired!" I hear Grayson tearfully yell into her phone, I walk over and see her back it to me and she's leaning against the wall

"I'm tired of losing people dad....I mean what if she doesn't leave but I tell her about my intersexuality and she still leaves...wouldn't be the first time that's happened to me" She says and I frown

What's...intersexuality

"Dad I can't stay here......but why can't I leave........fine......I'll tough it out just.....can you have mint chocolate chip ice cream and desperate housewives ready for me please...thank you...I lov-....thanks dad" Grayson says before hanging up and turn to see me

Her eyes widen and she swiftly wipes her tears and sniffles again

"Ho-how long were you standing there" She asks and I walk over to her and cup her face

"Don't think that if...and that's a big if....if I leave...that you will lose me, I haven't made a decision and I'm sorry that I said anything before that.....I care a lot about your Gray and...I want you to be honest with me" I say and she takes a deep breath

"What did...you hear" Grayson asks again and I sigh

"I heard....you...say something about intersexuality and...whatever that is...it's not gonna make me feel differently about you" I say and I feel her breathing pick up causing me to put my hand on her chest and push her against the wall with a light push

"Hey hey...it's ok...it's ok please calm down...please" I say as Grayson tries to slow her breathing down

"I just....I didn't want you to know about that....not yet......can we please just forget about it" She asks and I nod

"Great uh....let's get back with everyone else please" Grayson asks

"Sure....uh...yea" I say awkwardly, she nods and grabs my hand before walking out to everyone again

Why did she get so scared when I asked about it...it's is bad....is it a disease or something

I may have to do research on my own

A/n well uhhhh Nini is getting closer to finding out about Grayson and Grayson is not doing well, poor baby

Enjoy:)
