The Captains

The Old Grayson

AN: This chapter is a flashback to before Grayson met Aspen and a little after he met her and they talks a bit. Just to get an inside view on what Grayson means when he says Aspen changed him

"So are you up to it tonight, Gray?" Blake asked me as I laid on the couch in m living room

Blake was asking me to go to a party, hell yeah I was up to it. It was one of the anniversaries of the day that my dad left and I always made it a deal to 'act out' on those anniversaries. 

"Are you picking me up?" I asked Blake

"See you in fifteen, bro." Blake said before he hung up the phone

I looked at the clock 9:15 pm. I had until 9:30 to get ready and I could do it. I ran up the stairs and went into m room. I exchanged my muscle shirt and basketball shorts for a navy crew-neck from Hollister and denim shorts.

I sprayed on some cologne and slipped my wallet and house keys in my back pocket. I fixed my hair a bit before I ran downstairs.

My mom was sitting on the couch in the living room with a cup of tea.

"Where are you going?" She asked me as I slipped on my shoes

If I really told her, no way in hell she would let me go.

"Out." I answered

She put down her teacup and took off her glasses.

"Where is out, Grayson?" She asked sternly 

"Out mom!" I raised my voice

My mom stood up, "Grayson Luke Cooper, you know how you get every month on the 12th. Especially, on May 12th."

"This has nothing to do with you." I told her as I walked towards the door

"Grayson Cooper don't you dare walk out!" She yelled after me

I groaned, "I'm just going to the bowling ally with Blake, I'll call you and text you. Gosh, just let me out of the house."

"Don't do anything bad Grayson, you're seventeen with a lot going for you." My mom reminded me as I saw Blake's truck

"Fuck off." I told her before I slammed the door behind me and walked towards Blakes truck.

I got into Blake's truck and he already had two girls in the back. Typical Blake behavior and party mood. He always picked up two random girls before we went to a party.

"Hello Blake, girls." I greeted as I got into the front seat and closed the door

"Good evening Grayson, meet Sarah and Addison. Sarah and Addison, meet the Grayson Cooper." Balke introduced her

I turned around to face the two brunettes, even though I always had a thing for blondes. 

"Blake told us you were an excellent football player. I know you play football, but I can play with your balls better." The one in the red dress told me 

They were wearing two extremely short dresses and high heels.

We were definitely going to a college party.

"College party huh?" I asked Blake

Blake nodded, "These sorority girls invited me back for round two and I extended my invite to you."

"Fun." I replied, "I'm ready to get turnt the fuck up!"

"Grayson is a real party boy, girls." Blake shared with the girls

One of them grabbed my shoulder, "I'll show you a good time."

"I'm holding you to that." I winked
