"Greyson, I can't handle this long-distanced relationship" She stated
"Why?" I asked, almost about to break down
"Greyson, your fame, fans, medias. Medias were telling some rumors about you, your fans hate me, your fame is the reason why you lost time for me. Greyson, I don't know what to do anymore I'm hurt!" She cried on the phone
"Aleisha please, don't - -"
"I'm so sorry Greyson. I can't handle this anymore. Goodbye. We're over"
- Greyson's PoV -
All the stars and boulevards aren't close enough for you
Maybe a classic Augustana song would heal this pain inside. Nope, it didn't worked. Fame ruined my relationship with Aleisha. If I wasn't discovered in Ellen, all of this wouldn't happen. Of all the things it could ruin, why our relationship? I lost time with her and I didn't thought of something that will surprise her as a sorry for losing time.
Hey Greyson, I made this cover of 'I Love You' by of course, my idol, Avril Lavigne. I dedicate this song to you [Oh Em Gee 5sos!] as a gift on our third anniversary! I love you!
It suddenly played on my mp3 player. Her cover became a not that much of a hit but, a lot of people loved it. Then, there was already an mp3 for this so I downloaded it. It touched me so hard, even though I was in LA and she was in Oklahoma.
I like your smile
I like your vibe
I like your style
But that's not why I love you
I let out a giggle. I remembered some memorable moments I had with Aleisha. I never thought she can sing so well. She never sang in front of me. Aleisha doesn't have any connections with me anymore. I will never erase this song because it was the only thing I have from Aleisha.
"Greyson?" Stacy called me from behind. I turned her gaze at her "It's your time to shine"
"Okay, I'll be out" I stood up firmly, shrugging off all my thoughts. I'm ready and prepared. I walked down the hallway where the stage is directed. I can almost hear thousands of girls screaming and chanting my name. When I got to the stage, the screaming became louder than usual. I went to the microphone and tapped it to see if it works perfectly. since it was okay, I started to speak.
"Good evening LA" I spoke which made girls scream at the top of their lungs. "Anything you wanna question before I continue the concert? I'm here to answer" I added with a pleasurable smile
One girl in front raised her hand. "Yes, what do you want to ask?" I pin pointed her. A staff gave her a microphone.
"Um, Greyson, I heard about your break-up with Aleisha. Why did you break up?" She curiously asked
The crowd whispered. Okay, weird.
"Um first of all, you guys love me right?" I asked, provoking myself not to drop a single tear in front of my beautiful enchancers
"Yes!" They all answered in sync
"If you do, please answer me truthfully" I ordered. They just went silent. All their attentions turned to me. "Okay, raise your hand if you sent Aleisha threats" I ordered once more
The crowd went silent. Not one but a lot of people raised their hands. It was a relief that some girls did not raised their hands.
"Okay, all of you are probably thinking that I hate you but wrong. I still love you all no matter what because you've always been there with me. You are all the reason why I'm standing here in this large platform" I answered. All of those girls were relieved. "But still, what you did was wrong. Aleisha and I love each other. She means the world to me like you, Enchancers. She just laughs at all your threats but on the inside she's hurt. I know her real smile between the fake one. Please guys. I don't know what to do anymore since she's gone" A tear slipped out of my eye.
I wiped it off with my hand and just shrugged it off. I looked at all the Enchancers and they were also sad.

"Hey Aleisha look" Sadie motioned me to come to her "Look, Greyson cried" She showed me a YouTube video which looked like it was just uploaded a minute ago.
"Why would I care?" I annoyingly asked
"Uh, duh, he talked about you. How he felt sorry for losing time with you and all that stuff" Sadie answered
He's really that sad because he still loves me? Okay. I don't think I've fallen out of love with him. It's been a week since the break-up and I still love him.
"Sadie, does Greyson have an upcoming tour here in Oklahoma?" I asked
"Yeah, he said so in Twitter. I guess it'll be next week and wait, why are you asking this?" She smirked. She knows my idea, which I think will bring drama.
"OMG! You haven't moved on I knew it!" She exclaimed in relief.
I just laughed it off. "Yeah we should go there" I added
So good luck to us.
- Greyson's PoV -
Finally, I'm back from my hometown! I missed this place. The trees, the quiet, uncrowded streets and most of all, my loved ones. They were my inspirations. I still hope that I could see Aleisha once more. Sigh. I don't think she'll be happy to see me. I looked at the view outside the window.
"Greyson? You seem down" Stacy remarked
"Yeah. I don't wanna talk about it" I answered while looking at the window
The morning sky is so beautiful to see. The sun is shining so bright and birds were flying. At least it made me feel a little better. After a moment, I finally got to my house. I rang the doorbell.
"Wait just a minute!" A loud voice filled my ears.
The door opened and saw... Kenzie, one of my best friends. A large, surprised smile plastered on her face. She tackled me with a tight hug
"Oh my gosh Greyson! It's been a long time!" She exclaimed
I hugged back. Of course, she's my friend. "Okay, I missed you too" I chuckled. She pulled away and I went inside the house
Finally, It's already almost 6. I prepared and got ready for tonight's concert. Here I am, inside my room, sitting in front of the mirror.
"Knock knock" A girly voice said in sync with her knock. It's Kenzie.
"Come in" I answered
Kenzie came in with a half-smile. "Hey" I exclaimed
"Um, Greyson, I have to tell you something" She uttered
"What is it? I'm all ears" I asked
"Well, Greyson, the thing is, I-" She stuttered. I stood up in front of her. "Greyson I like you" She answered
"Okay, cool. I like you too" I replied. As friends of course.
"Really?" She asked with delight
"Yeah, as friends" I added with a chuckle. I looked at my wrist watch and saw it was 6 already. "Oh, I gotta go" I went past her and suddenly, she gripped my hand.
"You don't understand Greyson" She added
"What do you mean?" I asked
"I like you more than friends" She admitted
My eyes grew wide in shock. No, I don't like her. I don't want this. I was speechless from shock. I don't know what to do. Kenzie leaned until our lips met. I didn't feel any sparks but of course, Kenzie might feel some.
"Greyson?" That modest voice. Kenzie pulled away. I turned around to see Aleisha standing on my doorway. Her eyes were already filled with tears.
"Aleisha! How are you?" Kenzie exlaimed
"Greyson?" Her voice cracked
"Aleisha, please, i-it's not what you think" I assured
"Oh really now? How would you explain what happened earlier huh?" She asked
"Aleisha, please, Kenzie - -" Aleisha cut me off
"What? She's better than me? Okay fine!" She exclaimed in anger
"Aleisha, if you're here to - - -" Aleisha cut Kenzie off
"Shut up you big, fat witch! I didn't asked for your opinion! I'm going home now" She left the house.
"Hmph, good for her" Kenzie crossed her arms
"Kenzie, go away from me okay?" I ordered then I left the room. She hurt Aleisha and now, she will never forgive me.
- Aleisha's PoV -
"Come on now Aleisha, there must be some sort of explanation behind this" Sadie assured
"Of course there isn't! I saw it" I cried on my pillow. I was so hurt.
"Okay, fine, I'll bitchslap [sorry for swearing guys. But she's the best friend] Kenzie. I always knew she had a dark secret" Sadie muttered at the last part.
"I don't know Sadie. I'm really hurt" I stated
"You know what? We should eat, it makes me happy. Thank God I don't get fat easily" She suggested
I laughed at her.
- Fast Forward [They're done eating] -
"It's still seven pm? Ugh, I'm bored" I whined
"Oh, by the way, we have to go somewhere fun" Sadie answered while looking at her phone
"Really? Where?" I asked
"It's a secret, I bet you'll be happy" She assured
So, we got outside the house and I have to wear this blindfold. I can't see anything.
"Sadie? Where are we going?" I chuckled with a smile
"Secret" She cooed
I let time pass then I asked her the same question and she still said secret. After a while, I can sense a ray of light shining at me. Suddenly, I heard a piano playing
I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That voice was so beautiful and I think I know who's it from. I untied my blindfold and I found myself in front of a large crowd. They were giving me lovely smiles and then I looked at my left. I saw Greyson playing the piano and singing my favorite song
That I just want you to know
I found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
The reason to start over new
And the reason is you
It touched my heart. A tear just slid out of my eye. Greyson stood up and approached me. He held both of my hands while I look down on my feet. I was crying and I don't want him to see it. How much I was hurt from what he did. But now, they vanished into thin air.
"I'm sorry Aleisha. I was an idiot and I know you were really hurt. I forgot you, our anniversary. But now, I wanna have them back" He knelt one knee in front of me and the crowd screamed. "I'm so sorry, please forgive me?" He asked. Tears slid out my eyes. "Of course Grey" I answered.
Greyson attacked me with a hug and the crowd awed. Greyson and I finally got together again. There were no more threats and I was able to spend some time with him. The drama was now finally over
