Chapter 72: Overdose
Grayson’s POV
Sometimes there are moments in life when time slows down completely. Like someone hit the slow-mo button and you’re forced to watch either some of the best or worst moments slowly unfold and you’re unable to do anything about it.
I’ve had a few moments like that. When I first met Scarlett, when I found her overdosed on the bathroom floor, when I first kissed her, the night she told me she loved me, finding out about her and Lee, when the car crashed. And then there was tonight.
Rudy said that Scarlett was in trouble and to call an ambulance. I swear we were all moving quickly to get to that park, but it all felt like it was happening at snail speed.
When we arrived at the park, I could see Scarlett. She was lying so still on the jungle gym. Once again it felt like it took forever to reach her.
Tears filled my eyes when I saw her. She wasn’t breathing.
I forced myself to start CPR

A week later, I was released from the hospital. I was meant to go straight to the facility. It was the middle of the day on Wednesday, so only Grayson, Lee and Rudy could be there for me. It was almost symbolic. The three catalysts for my relapse were helping me get help. Grayson was right. The facility was insanely nice. My last one was a bit more off the grid to keep anyone from finding out. This didn’t seem like a place that people went to get better. It looked more like vacation. “This looks like a rehabilitation center for a doll,” I stated. “It’s really nice, Scar.” Grayson replied. “So am I rehab barbie?” Rude chuckled slightly. “Is now the time for jokes, Letty?” “There’s always time for jokes,” I shrugged. We parked and the boys grabbed my bags. A part of me wanted to run. I knew this was my choice, but I still wasn’t thrilled about going back. I was still on me

“Grayson, I’m sorry.” I groaned, sliding off of the island. “I didn’t even think of that!”“You seriously haven’t thought about it? At all?” He demanded, sitting up.“A little, I guess. But I thought I was supposed to be focusing on my sobriety!”“Of course that’s important, but I would think things would be clearer than ever right now. That you would know what you want now.”“I never know what I want, Gray.” I knelt next to him. “I’m honestly shocked you guys even still want to be with me.”Grayson went back to fixing the sink. “How many times do we have to tell you how much we love you?”“I thought you moved on! You had girlfriends!”“I went on a date, geez, Scarlett! I thought about you every single second of the day! I missed you like crazy. And now I’ve been doing everyt

What was wrong with me? Why was I putting myself and the boys through this all over again? Things were kind of normal. I had a routine and Grayson and Lee were my friends and I just wrecked them by having sex with both of them in the span of fourteen hours. How stupid could I be? But also what was wrong with them? Making deals behind my back and deciding what I could and couldn’t do. They infuriated me! I was surprised later that night when there was a knock on my door. It was Lee and Grayson. “What do you want?” I asked. “We should all talk.” Grayson said. “Why? You two talk enough. You make deals and decisions without me. You don’t want to keep doing that?” “Scarlett, come on.” Lee groaned. “Just let us in.” I clicked my tongue, but let them in. They sat on the couch and I took the armchair. “What do you want?” I asked. “To talk about how you both fucked me and then told me it was a m

Crashing a golf cart was not at all how I planned on starting my day, but here we are!I opened my eyes to see how bad the damage was. I only hit a tree. No big deal. I stumbled out of the cart, in a fit of giggles."Hands on the cart, Watson!" James, the campus policeman demanded."James, come on you can't be serious," I laughed. "It was a joke!" I laughed."Hands on the cart!""Oh, this is so unfair," I did as he said, unable to believe my luck. "I'm gonna be late for Marketing.

I answered."Do you know who out of eighty-seven students I've seen the most in my office?""I'll take me for four hundred, Alex.""Ms. Watson, you are brilliant and talented and one of the hardest working students here.

I probably should have knocked on Lee's door, but I had a key to the room, so I didn't even think about it."Oops!" I exclaimed when I walked in on Lee shirtless. I threw my hands over my eyes.I couldn't help but peep through my fingers. I guess when he was neglecting his work, he was using the gym. He was in really good shape."Alright I have a shirt on," he chuckled."Sorry about that," I said."I'm not," he grinned. "What happened to you? You look a mess.""I got in a fight with Analeigh Frost." I rolled my eyes and slid onto his bed. "It was dumb.""I see. Now, you sure you can handle b
