My jaw drops as we walk into the house.

It's massive!

I look around and I am pleasantly surprised. It's modern but not too fancy and it's very clean. Very different to any of the houses in my old pack from what I remember. The kitchen, dining room and living room are all connected. All very crisp and beautiful.

Grayson closes the door with his foot before carrying me up the stairs. We get to the top and he walks us into the second room on the right.

I instantly know that it's Grayson's room. It's really quite beautiful. It reeks of him though. Not that he ever smells bad. He actually smells quite divine really.

I look around the room, taking it all in

The walls are dark grey, with dark hardwood flooring and a white ceiling. A white fluffy rug covers the floor under his bed, which is truly gigantic. It's honestly one of the biggest beds I have ever seen in my life. The bed has a lighter grey bed frame with a navy duvet, white sheets and white pillows while a beautiful piece of artwork hangs on the wall above it.

The painting is truly magnificent. Snowy covered mountains with a gorgeous sunset behind it. Something I've only ever dreamed about.

He walks over to the bed and gently sets me down. I look over in the direction we entered and notice two doors separated by a gigantic floor length mirror on the adjacent wall as well as the massive bookshelf and the most incredible writing desk.

I then look over to the left side of his massive room and see a cute lounge area and behind it, french doors that open onto a beautiful balcony. I look back at him stunned and he looks at me nervously.

"This is my room" he signs slowly.

I nod, playing with my fingers nervously.

"You will be sleeping in here with me."

I gulp and feel tears burning in the back of my eyes.

"But don't freak out. I'm going to sleep on the couch" he signs quickly, which makes me feel a lot better.

He walks over to the two doors and looks back at me. I watch as he points to the one on his right and smiles.

"Bathroom" he signs simply before pointing to the other door.

"Wardrobe."

I nod and fidget nervously.

"All the clothes that my sister got you are in here" he signs with a small smile.

"She got them already? I thought Teresa said she was going today?"

"She did. She just really likes shopping, especially when it's for other people." he signs smirking before walking over to his desk and picking up an object before walking over to me.

He hands me the large black rectangle and I give him a confused look.

"We got you a phone so that you can message Teresa and I when you need us" he signs nervously.

This is a phone?! Geez, things really have changed in the past ten years.

"So if you need me, just text" he continues. I nod as I turn the phone over in my hands.

I haven't had a phone in so long and I have definitely not had a phone this fancy before. I used to have a phone back at home so that I could message my parents if I needed to but it didn't look like this. It was a tiny little thing with individual number and letter buttons and a tiny little screen.

I miss being able to talk to people though.

I put the phone down and look up at Grayson who is watching me.
