Fake It

The Romantic Gesture

The next morning, my family came in to see me and they were surprised to see I'm awake. "Mia, you're awake!", Mom cried as she hugs me. "Ow!", I cried, from the pain.

"Careful, Mom!", Courtney cried. "Sorry, sorry.", Mom cried. My grandmother was there too. "Nana!", I cried. "Oh, Amelia!", Nana sighed, as she gently hugs me.

Grayson heard the news that I was awake, but he decided to stay away and didn't come to visit me. I kept asking for him to my brother and sisters. "Where's Grayson?", I asked. My siblings and friends try to convince to go and see me, but he refuses, which upsets me.

That same late night, my family went home after spending a long day at the hospital with me. "We're gonna go home, so get some rest. We'll be back tomorrow morning.", Mom sighed, as she kisses me on the forehead.

"See you in the morning, sweetheart.", Dad smiled. My sisters then hugs me, before leaving. Jack hugs me goodbye. "Get some rest, Mia-Doll.", Jack sighed, as gives me a kiss on the head. "I'll be here if you need me.", Courtney replied, as she leaves.

"Ready to go, Maman?", Mom asked. "You go ahead, I'll be staying here for a while.", Nana smiled. "Ok, call me when you want to go home.", Mom smiled. Nana smiles at Mom as everyone had left. "Nana?", I asked. "Yes?", Nana asked.

"Can you get my phone? It's in my bag.", I asked."Of course.", Nana replied, as she gets up and opens my bag, to find my phone, and she takes it out of the bag. "I'm gonna go and get some coffee Do you want anything?", Nana asked, as she gives me my phone. "No I'm good, thanks Nana.", I smiled.

Nana then leaves to get her coffee, while I check on my phone to see if I have any missed calls or texts from anybody. I turn on my phone and saw Grayson, had send me something on text. I swipe it open and it was a video. I played it, and it was Grayson, playing the piano and singing to a sad song, which is "Falling" by Harry Styles.

As he sang and played, I watched in tears and I realise that Grayson still has feelings for me, and flashbacks of the night of prom, struck me, as I remember I broke up with him right on the spot and that I slapped him that same night. I cried in tears as I watch him sang in sadness.

As the video ended, I immediately broke down. My Nana came in with her coffee when she saw me crying. "Ma petite fille, what's wrong?", Nana asked, as she sat next to me. I didn't say a word when Nana saw what I was looking at from my phone. She realises that I was crying about Grayson. "Oh, Amelia. Come here.", Nana sighed, as I cry in her arms.

"It's ok to cry. Let it out.", Nana sighed, as I held my nana and cry on her. "Do you still love him?", Nana asked. "It doesn't matter anymore, Nana.", I sighed. "Amelia, I know that feeling, and I can see that another part of you still loves him.", Nana replied.

"When I was young, you always told me that boys can be immature, and they do crazy things to find a way to win a girl's heart.", I sighed. "I'm a wise woman, ma petite fille.", Nana smiled. "You are, Nana.", I smiled, as Nana laughs. "But in your heart, so what do you want?", Nana asked. "I want to be happy, I want everyone to happy, and I..definitely do want...", Mia sighed.

"Grayson...", Nana sighed. I nod and tears come down my eyes. "Yes.", I cried, as Nana and I share an embrace.

I spend another 2 days at the hospital until I was well enough to go home. I was complete recovered from incident, but the scars are never healed, as the bullet hole from my chest has left a scar, which I have to see for the rest of my life.

After recovering, I've trying to call and text Grayson, but he never answers or replies, which upsets me. When I returned to school, I saw Grayson, and I try to go to talk to him, but he runs away before I could get to him.

At night, I was sitting at my bedroom window, in the dark, as I thought about Grayson and all those memories that we had together. Meanwhile, Grayson was in his room, in the dark, looking at photos of him and I on his phone, as tears came down from his eyes.

Back in my room, I thought about Grayson even more. "I wish you were here with me, so I could tell you that I miss you.", I cried, and in that breaking point, I broke down in tears, and collapsed to the floor and cry.
