I pulled into the driveway and wiped my tears. I grabbed my phone and bag and stepped out of the car. I approached the front door and opened it. I kicked off my shoes 

"Hi babe!" I heard Grayson yell from the kitchen

"Hey" I mumbled 

"You want some food? I made pasta" he shouted 

"Not hungry" I said before I disappeared upstairs 

I sniffled slightly and entered our bedroom. I took of my work clothes and put my robe on.  I entered the bathroom and turned the shower on. I closed the door, locked it and took my robe off. I waited for the water to heat up before stepping inside the shower. I let the water coat my hair while I stared out of the glass that was slowly starting to fog up with steam. My back hit the cold wall and I slowly sunk to the floor, clutching my legs. My lip began to tremble and my eyes filled with tears. I rested my forehead on my kneecaps and stared to cry. 

20 minutes later 

My position had changed. I was now lying on the ground. My hair draped on the floor and clumped together, while my tears continued to slide down my face and sobs continued to escape my mouth. 

A soft knock echoed throughout the steamy bathroom, followed by a voice 

"Baby? Are you okay? You've been in there for a long time now" Grayson spoke with a little bit of worry in his voice 

I didn't say anything 

"Y/n?"

I sat up slightly "Yeah, yeah I'm coming out in like 5 minutes!" I yelled over the water smacking the floor heavily 

"Okay"

I slowly got to my feet and picked up a shampoo bottle.

I quickly washed my hair and body before turning the shower off. I stepped onto the tile floor and wrapped a towel around my body. I dried off before wrapping a towel around my hair and putting my robe back on. I unlocked the bathroom door and stepped into the room. 

Grayson was chilling on the bed on his phone. 

I walked over to the closet and pulled out sweatpants and a hoodie. I untied my robe and put the clothes on. I brushed through my wet hair and tied it into a bun. I sat down at my vanity and grabbed my moisturiser.

"How was work today?" Grayson asked crawling to the bottom of the bed so he could stare at me through the mirror 

"Fine" I replied dabbing the moisturiser all over my face 

"Are you sure?"

I didn't say anything 

"Cause you've been a little quiet since you've got home" he smiled 

"It was fine" I screwed the cap back on the moisturiser and stood up 

I walked past the bed but Grayson grabbed my wrist "hey, is everything okay?" He was a little concerned now

I smiled at him "Yeah" 

He frowned "are you su- 

Before he could finish I pulled my wrist out of his grip and left the room. 

I sat down on the couch and put a movie on.

10pm 

The movie had finished and my phone buzzed 

Bailey💛: are you coming to bed? 

I shut my phone off and stood up. I turned the TV off, left the living room and went upstairs to the bedroom. I opened the door and saw Grayson laying on top of the sheets with sweatpants on. He looked up from his phone and smiled at me.

I wandered over to my side of the bed and got under the quilt. Grayson did the same. I rolled over and turned my bedside table lamp off. I felt an arm sneak around my waist and he pulled me closer towards him. He planted a kiss on my shoulder.

I snuggled deeper into the bed and sighed.

Grayson turned his bedside table lamp off and cuddled into me. 

10 minutes had passed and light snores left Grayson's lips. 

My head rested on the pillow beneath me and the quilt hugged my body. I felt my eyes well with tears which made me tightly shut them. I removed the quilt covering my skin and unlatched Grayson's arms from my stomach. I stood up and entered the bathroom. I closed the door and sat down on the floor with my back against the bath tub. I started to cry. Sobs left my mouth continuously and tears wouldn't stop falling down my face. 

"Y/n?" 

The bathroom door opened to reveal a very sleepy looking Grayson but his sleepiness soon melted away when he saw me crying 

"Oh, baby what's wrong?" He spoke diving to my side 

I just continued to cry 

"Please talk to me. Why are you crying? What's wrong?" He was kneeling in front of me rubbing my leg

"I can't" I blurted out and shook my head 

"Why?" His voice showed compassion 

I didn't say anything 

"Y/n. Why can't you talk to me?"

"Because....because....because" I repeated trying to find the right words 

"Because what?"

"Because you'll leave me!" 

He looked taken back 

I sighed and put my head in my hands "I can't stand him" I whispered 

"Who?"

"My boss!" I looked up at him "I can't deal with him anymore. All he does is treat me like shit. I work so hard at my job, I even put in extra hours but it's not enough. He gives me tons of work to do in so little time, he's never happy with anything I do, he screams at me for the the little mistakes I make and turns them into a massive a deal. I can't do it anymore. I hate it there, I hate working for him, I hate the way he treats me, I hate everything about my job. I'm stressed all the time and I barely have anytime to myself anymore as I'm too busy trying to juggle five things he's asked me to do with a really tight deadline. I'm 24 and I'm already a complete failure" 

He didn't say anything he just grabbed me and hugged me. I cried into his chest while he rocked with me side to side and whispered sweets things in my ear. 

After I had calmed down he picked me up and carried me back to bed. He placed me under the covers and kissed my forehead. He got in himself and wrapped his arms around me hugging me tightly. He tangled our legs together and kissed my back over and over.

 He leant forward and softly whispered in my ear "you're not a failure, nor will you ever be. I love you"

"I love you too" I sniffled

He gripped me tighter and soothed me to sleep 

Before I knew it I was out. 

Give me ideas of what I should write thanks
