*Alec's p.o.v*
As we travel down the hallway, Tears still dripping down my red,  flushed cheeks, I wrap my legs tighter around Grayson's waist.  We, well he, walks into the old music room. When he sits me on an old wooden chair I whimper quietly because my ribs and back are still very sore from my last experience with Jack and the guys. Grayson then pulls up a replica of my chair and sits directly across me.

*Grayson's p.o.v*
After I sit in the chair I try to pull my words together and think of how I want to start this "conversation".  I'm so worried. I don't know what's wrong, why she's upset, or if I did anything wrong. I NEEDED to know. I tried to start simple with a "what's wrong" but I only got to "wha-" and Alec leaped out of her chair and wrapped me into a hug burying her face in my neck. While I did like this I noticed that she whined when she got up from her chair.

*Alec's p.o.v*
Ow.  That hurt really, really bad. But it didn't matter after I was once again close to Grayson. All my pain melts away when I'm around him, maybe this will turn out a bit better than I expected. I lift my head from his neck noticing my tears were soaking his shirt. "I'm sorry" I say sobbing even harder, my voice cracking as soon as I speak. I look down embarrassed that he had to see me like this. "No Alec please don't be sorry-" he pauses and softly lifts his hand up and guides my chin up so I could look at him, he then continues, "-i know your upset but I just want to know why... " I look into his eyes, hazel, and filled with care and worry. I look down and squeeze my eyes shut "I- I ca- can't t-tell you..." I say my sobs racking my body, disappointed in myself. Grayson responds by engulfing me into a hug rubbing my back, almost immediately calming me down. After forty seconds he switched to playing with my hair and I sat up looking Grayson in the eyes.  He slides his hand down the side of my cheek and I hiss in pain. He jerks his hand back and his calm sweet face turns into a serious quite frightening one. But his words are the opposite "Alec...please tell me what's wrong, I'm sorry if I did anything to upset you" My eyes widened immediately, how could he think this was his fault? Not wanting him to think that for a second longer I looked up and spoke. "Grayson... Even if this was your fault, which it's not, how could I be upset with you? None of this was your fault I'm sorry if you think I'm a spaz or you pity me now.  But I'm incapable of having friends. Do you have any idea how bad I'll be bruis-" OMG.. No no no no.. I just let it slip... please... please Lord I hope he didn't hear that. I don't need this not right now. But I guess the Lord didn't listen because when I looked down at Grayson with my wide eyes his were the same. "Alec?? D-do you get bullied? Is that why you whined when I touched your cheek?" I only replied with a small "umm uh i-i" but that was enough for grayson. "who" he stated instead of asked. His voice was deep and angry and beyond frightening. " Grayson I can't!!! If I tell you your gonna hate me forever!!" I start sobbing all over again so grayson gently stands me up and pulls me into another hug and asks softly "who did this to you" I was a bit confused since I covered all my bruises this morning, but when I feel a thumb brush across my wrist I already knew what he found. "Promise you won't be mad please promise me" I said.  "I pinky promise princess" I smiled at him because of the name but that smile quickly faded as we locked fingers. I was about to tell a secret I've kept for 3 years and counting. Pressing my face into his shoulder I say the name. The name of his best friend. As I say it I feel his body tense up.  But I'm not. I don't know what I feel.  No,  yes I do... I'm happy... I'M HAPPY!!! "what jack... What's his last name?" grayson says clearly in denial.  "Gray,  there's only one Jack in our grade. " I say a bit happier than I should be. This feeling doesn't last soon though. All the happiness I was feeling seconds ago fled my body when I felt grayson pull out of the hug and angrily flee the room leaving me helplessly standing there. He promised he wouldn't get mad at me...
