Ethan's POV
Tatiana ran out sobbing. After I heard the front door shut I went into Grayson room.
He was sitting with his head in his hands on his bed.
"Dude...wtf is going on with you" I said while running my hand through my hair.
"Dude idk-" he said but I cut him off
"You realize you're severely hurting her right" I said as he looked up from his hands. "Are you brainwashed or something?!"
"No dude...it's just-....." he started.
"I've seen the way you look at Tati...I can see it in your eyes..you love her gray..." I said
"I do" he admitted "I love her...but what about dad? What about what she did?" He asked.
"Who cares..." I said "the more you act like this...the more you're driving her away.. she already tried to switch schools, what could be next" I walked out of his room.
Grayson's POV
"What am I doing?" I asked myself "I do love her"
But Cheryl.....but dad.
I don't know what to do anymore. I don't want to keep hurting her, she's already been through enough.
I had to do something.
I glanced out the window..there was Tati. Sobbing her heart out while packing a backpack.
Why was she packing..,was she leaving? No she can't. Her mom said that if she leaves she'll go to juvie for 8 months. Would she go that far?
Tatiana's POV
I can't take it anymore. Fuck this. Fuck that. Fuck everyone. I muttered under my breath as I sobbed.
I began packing a bag. I'm not going far..just to my old house in the south side. At this point...I don't care if I go to juvie in Mexico for 8 months.
So I packed a bag of clothes, toothbrush, toothpaste, brush, hair ties, shoes, my vape and my knuckle rings (that's all that was left in the box) then I left.
I texted Greg and said I was going out, but I didn't tell him where.
I pulled my backpack straps so they weren't loose...so I could run faster with a bag on my back.
Then I took off running, wearing my Serpents jacket.
Grayson's POV
My heart dropped. She would go that far. She took off running down the street with her Serpents jacket on.
I couldn't think. I ran into Ethan's room.
"Dude! We gotta go- she's- now!" I said just spitting out words
"Dude chill" E said sitting up in his bed "what's wrong"
"It's Tati!" I said gasping for breath "she's gone- she left- Serpents" I was panicking.
"Grayson. Calm. Down." Ethan said "one sentence at a time"
"Tatiana's gone back to the south side" I said
Ethan's eyes went wide. "What" He said standing up.
"I have to go find her!! " I said as I bolted for the door.
Ethan grabbed my shoulders "no Grayson"
He started "you could get seriously hurt"
