damn she really out here putting out the best content on tumblr
Miss you (G.D.)
Summary: After breaking up with Y/N, Grayson shows up at her door at 3 AM about a week later because he can’t sleep, asking her to take one last nap together.
Warnings: fluff and angst
Word count: 1850
I woke up in panic, body shaking, eyes filling with tears. Ever since Grayson and I broke up, sleeping had become a task instead of a pleasure and it was turning into hell with nightmares haunting my dreams. Grayson was the only constant in those dreams, usually having him die or completely disappear, some of losing him and being unable to find him but knowing something bad happened.
After waking up, I would never be able to fall asleep, scared the nightmare might become a reality. And in a way it did. Grayson and I were barely even friends anymore, regardless of our agreement to stay close. It was too hard to be in his proximity without falling back into our old patterns.
To be completely honest, I don’t even know why we broke up anymore. We didn’t fight, we didn’t end things because one of us cheated or because we changed. One night, he just asked for us to break up and in my shock, I said okay. If I could, I would push back and scream, pry into the real reason, but the window of opportunity for that had passed and to ask anything at this point would certainly destroy whatever fragile relationship we have at the moment.
But I missed him.
In fact, I could barely sleep without him. He’d always drool and snore in his sleep, even kick at times or grab onto me so tightly I could barely breathe. Yet now, I find I can’t sleep without it. He gave me a sense of security, made me feel loved and appreciated, which is why I finally stopped sleeping with a nightlight for the first time in my life.
Not anymore.
I turned off my nightlight, getting up completely. Why bother rolling around bed when you can drink some hot tea and watch TV?
Just as I drank my first cup, the doorbell rang, causing me to jump in fright.
Walking toward the door, I grab a lacrosse stick that Grayson left at my place, clutching to it as if it would save me. If nothing else, knowing it was his was enough to help ease my nerves.
Slowly, I take the doorknob, opening the door, prepared to strike. But I stop mid-air, my jaw slacking open with the sight, because right there, before my eyes, Grayson stood with a blanket draped over his shoulders, looking more tired than I’ve ever seen him.

L A {G.D.} – Part 4
Summary: moving to LA her senior year, Y/N goes into this new journey with low exceptions. Surprisingly, the new school has tons of drama to keep her occupied from what she’s missing out on back home.
A/N: So so sooo sorry for the wait! I’ve been so busy lately. Also, sorry for any mistakes. I’m literally about to fall asleep typing this authors note. Lol.
Warnings: talk of sex kinda idk
WC: 1.4k
masterlist
Days turned into weeks and those weeks eventually formed into a month. A full month of Y/N being in LA and Grayson watching her date Ross from afar. Although he is still very much dating Tara, his mind has been focused more on Y/N and Ross’ relationship more than his own.
Although they’re not an official couple, it still hurts Grayson as he feels he could’ve had her if she didn’t back out of that date with him.
He’s not picky with the time he gets with her, though. They still see each other at school, after school, and on the weekends– as a group-get-together that is.
“Dude, what’s up with you lately?” Ethan questions his brother who is completely zoned into his phone, studying the recent Instagram picture Y/N posted. “Grayson!” The older twin yells in his second attempt to get his attention.
“Wh-what?” He finally snaps out of his trance, fumbling with the device.
“What’s your deal lately?” Ethan re-asks, pretty much already knowing the answer to his own question.
“I don’t know dude I–” He cuts himself off, not wanting to say what he knows is true. Admitting it makes it real and Grayson isn’t the best at dealing with real feelings.
“You like Y/N.” Ethan confesses for him. Little does Ethan know, ‘like’ may not be the right word to describe what Grayson actually feels for Y/N.
As I walk towards my brother’s car, I’m surprised when I receive a text from an unknown number telling me to meet them in the library asap.
Considering I’m about to pass the double doors going into that part of the building, I swing a left instead of continuing straight.
“Y/N! Hey! That was quick!” Tara whisper-yells from across the large room, sitting with Sabrina.
Tara’s the one who texted me?
“What’s up?” I ask, being as friendly as possible. The last couple weeks have not been so great with Tara and I. The constant death stares she sends me per day would be quite frightening for someone who didn’t know any better.
Luckily, Holly has given me countless tips on how to avoid and overlook all of Tara’s actions and remarks.
“Look, I think we started off on the wrong foot. Why don’t we start over, be friends? Ya know, go shopping, get our nails done, talk about boys.”
All of the advice in the world from Holly couldn’t have prepared me for this.
As confused as I am, I slowly nod my head and agree.
“Great! Then it’s settled. We’re officially besties!”
She pulls me into a weird ‘group’ hug with her and Sabrina, the two of them jumping up and down squealing. Unable to do the same because of my awkwardness, I break free of their grip and inform them I need to go meet with Jordan so I can get home.
Jordan is as confused as I am when I explain to him what had just happened. We both suspect she’s up to something fishy but can’t figure out exactly what it could be.
“It all happened so fast! And how else do you respond to someone telling you they’re your best friend now?”
“Well, Tara’s name spelled backwards is ‘A Rat’ and I sure do smell one.” My brother states.
“True.” We fist bump, clearly on the same page, as always.
As the week goes on, word of the annual homecoming party begins to spread throughout the halls of North Wood High School. Anyone who is anyone will be at this party. No sane soul will miss out.
“Great practice boys. Pack up and have a good night.” The head lacrosse coach announces as the team walks into the locker room.
Grayson gathers his belongings, giving Jordan and Ethan small nods and “mhmm’s” as he pretends to listen to what they’re talking about.
Really, he’s more focused on the conversation Ross is having with his friends.
As Ross walks past Grayson, he hears Y/N’s name brought up in the conversation.
“Have you hit it yet?” Bart asks from across the locker room.
“Hittin’ that Saturday night at the party.” Ross thrusts his hips back and forth, pretending Y/N is positioned in front of his pelvic region.
Unsure of why Jordan hasn’t turned around and knocked Ross out yet for talking about his sister like that, Grayson realizes it’s because he has his head phones in and can’t hear him.
Instead of doing what Jordan should be doing, Grayson decides to stay put. He’s not worth possibly ruining his friendship with her and/or losing his spot on the team for fighting.
A light turns on in Grayson’s head as he realizes: Y/N’s still a virgin.
There’s no way he will let her lose it to this guy who speaks about her as if she’s a game to win.
“Tara, you really don’t have to buy me this dress and these shoes. I–”
“–Nonsense.” Tara cut’s me off, “You’re one of my besties, I’m allowed to spoil you. Plus, you have to be looking smoking hot if you’re hanging out with us at the party tonight!”
After hanging out with her for a week, I’m beginning to think there’s no scam in this friendship she proposed to me. Holly, however, still thinks differently.
We make our way to a coffee shop, coincidentally running into Grayson and Ethan.
“Hey G bear!” Tara calls for him from across the small café.
She clings onto him like a parasite and I giggle as he nonchalantly squirms out of her grip.
He looks up at me as I walk to join them in line. Giving me a soft smile, I return one back to him. His hazel eyes bring me into him without actually touching him– something he’s been doing for the past month.
No words are exchanged during this encounter but the smirks and what’s said through our eyes speak louder to us than any actual words ever will.
Walking into the party with Ross was a weird experience. People paid more attention to me than I expected and gave me more compliments than I’ve ever gotten in my life.
Tonight was the night. Ya know… THE night. Ross convinced me to have sex with him, informing me that it would bring us closer together as a couple.
Dancing, laughing, drinking, and gossiping about who knows what seemed to consume most of my night.
No matter how much I drink though, I can’t seem to get my mind off of Grayson. Honestly, it further intensifies my thoughts of Grayson and more or less erases the thought of Ross.
Catching his gaze from across the room, my heart flutters. Giving him a big smile instead of the small smirks we’re so used to, he takes it as a que to approach me.
“Well, hi.” I pull him into a quick hug.
“Hello beautiful.” Wow I want so badly to just pull his lips right into mine. Thankfully, I’m not drunk enough to do something that stupid.
He makes small talk, going over our inside jokes from summers past and discussing college plans.
“So uh, I kind of overheard Ross talking in the locker room the other day.” He begins after a moment of non-awkward silence.
“What’d he say?” I giggle.
“That uh- he’s uh- he said he’s gonna hit that tonight.” Unable to respond, I feel my heart sink a little, realizing now how stupid I really was to believe having sex with Ross would bring us closer as a couple.
“Listen you told me about Tara so I’m trying to do the same for you. Don’t do it, Y/N. Wait, ok?” Grayson adds.
Because of how I’m currently feeling towards Ross, I get defensive and unintentionally take it out on Grayson, “It’s not like you owe me or something. Plus, you didn’t even listen to me. So since we’re being honest, I’ll just continue to date Ross like you did Tara.”
I turn to walk away, but he catches my arm and gently spins me back to him, “Y/N, all I’m saying is don’t do that ok? Don’t give him your virginity. Wait for someone who means something to you.”
“I tried waiting, Grayson. He’s with someone else.” I sigh and turn around. This time, He doesn’t stop me so I lose myself in the crowd of people, attempting to numb the pain with alcohol.
