"Lord help the person that disrespects the queen, cause she has the devil wrapped around her finger"

t few weeks have been the best weeks of my life. Ryder and Scarlett made up, something is going on between Axel and Livia, there has been little to no drama, and most Importantly, Greyson and I have been together.

Right now were at Greys watching movies and cuddling. It's kind of a tradition now, every Saturday I would come over to his place and we would binge watch some of our favorite movies.

As I lean onto Greyson's chest, I think about winter break. Its coming up in a week, Christmas should mark our 3 month anniversary. I have a great idea,

"Hey Greyson!", he replies with a 'hmm', I slap his arm so he'll look at me.

"We should go on a trip for Christmas break! It could be just us, or we could bring everyone else. I would be so fun! We could all spend Christmas and New Year's together an-", I was cut of once again by Greyson laughing. We should really get that cutting under control.

"Yes button, that's a great idea.", he says kissing my forehead. I jump up and do a happy dance, I cant wait to spend the holidays with the people I love. Well, I still haven't told Greyson yet. I dont want to rush into anything yet, but it's been getting harder by the day.

"I'm going to text everyone!", I start to walk towards the kitchen when Greyson grabs my waist and pulls me onto his lap.

"I don't think so button, you can tell the gang on Monday, right now its Hazon time.".

"Did you just give us a ship name? If anything it should be Greyzal!". We spend the rest of the time arguing which ship name sounds better. With him play yelling, and him being a sucker for my tears, I-We end up choosing Greyzal.

After about 10 minutes of thinking, yelling, and arguing all of us agree to go somewhere cold for break. This repeats when the topic of were comes up. In the end everyone, except Carson, picks Alaska.

"Okay, here's the plan! Were all going to stay at my house Friday night so no one is late to the airport! I'm talking about you Scarlett. Since the plane leaves at 6:30, were waking up at 2:30 to be at the airport by at least 3:00. Than when we get to the cabins were discuss rooming arrangements! Agreed? Good."

I say to everybody, of course they stay silent.

"Damn for someone as tiny as you, you're pretty bossy." Ryder says, I smirk. Greyson chuckles,"That's my girl!", pressing a kiss to my cheek. I swear my heart stoped for a good 10 seconds after that.

The next was was uneventful, well if you dont count when I punch that bitch Katie in the nose for what she said about my mother and I. That's how I ended up getting a detention, but I don't care if it ment defending her name.

"Hayden Marriot get your butt in this room right now!", my dad screams as soon as I walk through the door. I roll my eyes, looking up I see him and Amanda sitting on the couch.

"Why did I just get a call from the headmaster that you got into a fight? You broke her nose for goodness sake!", he yelled at me. I could already feel the tears gathering in my eyes.

"You really want to know why! Its because she was making fun of mom! She somehow found out she died and that bitch was talking shit about her! Saying how she killed herself because she hated me so much! You have no right to yell at me, were where you for the past 10 years huh! When I was struggling to pay the bills, you were up here having the time of your life! I grew up without a father figure, no one to help me get threw this mess I call my life! So ya, I punched her in the nose for mom.", I scream at his face while tears run down mine. My 'father' starts to approach but I back away.

"Hazel please.", he says in a now soft voice. I shake my head and run out the door not knowing where I'm going.

I rode home in the rain from school because Hazel got a detention for hitting that whore. I laugh out loud thinking back to a 4'10 girl, punching a 5'6 bitch in her plastic nose. I'm pushed out of my thought when my girls name pops up on the screen.

I pick up the phone, ready to say hello when I'm interrupted by a sobbing Hazel.

"Gr-greyson?"

"Hazel! What's wrong?"

"Ca-can y-you come g-get m-me?"

"Where are you Hazel? You need to breath so you can tell me baby."

" I'm a-at the p- park."

"Stay put button, I'm coming!"

The line goes dead, while I speed dangerously through the rainfall. It takes me 5 minutes tops to get to the park by my house. I double park and rush out of my car.

"Hazel! Where are you!" I scream while getting soaked by the heavy down pour. After a few second of looking around I see a tiny body under the stairs of the playground. Shes shaking form the cold with water and tears staining her small face.

I pull her our form under the stairs and into my chest. My poor girl grips onto for dear life. Know she wont want me to let go of her, I make a split second decision to run to my house witch is down the block. I know my parents aren't home witch is a good thing because it would be hard to explain, well, this.

I open the door and kick of my shoes, while still holding Hazel in my arms. I carry her to my room while she sobs into my already wet shirt. I try to put her down, but this causes her to cry even harder. I sit down with her straddling my lap. I rub soothing circles on her back, while whispering reassuring words in her ear.

"Why d-did th-this h-happen to m-me! W-why did m-my o-own fa-father lea-ve? me too? Wha-ts ne-next y-you?", she cries into my chest. This is the second time she thinks I'm going to leave her, I now know Hazel definitely has abandonship issues.

I gently lift her chin and kiss her nose.

"Like I've said before, I will never, ever leave you Hazel. Not now, not when I've broken down, never. I'm not going to say it's okay, because it's not, but it does easier with time." I push her head back into me.

"What did I do to deserve you Greyson?" My broken beauty says. I laugh a little and shake my head. Holding her like theirs no tomorrow, I rock us back and forth. Slowly Hazel drifts off to sleep. I whisper "I love you my strong, beautiful, wonderful button", in her ear. Half of me hoping she was asleep, while the other half hopes shes awake.

I wake with Hazel sleeping next to me. I glance over at the clock, 10:23, I decide to skip school. Knowing well Hazel will be hungry from what happened yesterday, I get up and make her some breakfast. After she fell asleep, I layed down with her. She woke up screaming 3 times, each time I asked her if she wanted to talk about. I finally got it out of her the 3rd time, than she stoped waking up. She got a bunch of text in the middle od the night from her dad. I texted him that she was at my house and needed space.

I finish cooking pancakes and bacon. I start walking up the stairs when I here crying. I burst into my room to see a sobbing Hazel sitting up with her head in her hands. When she sees me relieve flooded into her eyes. I pull her into a much needed hug.

"I thought you left.", Hazel mumbled into my shirt. I smoothed over her hair and kissed her head.

"I was just making breakfast-", she lifts her head at the mention of food. I chuckle and lead her down stairs.

For the next 6 hours we ate junk food, watched The Office, and the thing I liked the most was deep talk. We talked about our deepest fears, Hazel told me everything that happened between her mother and her. How she still doesn't know why her dad still would tell why he left them. Of course there were many tears, and now it was my turn to tell about me. I've never told anyone about this, not even Ryder.

"So it wasn't always just me. I had a little sister, her name was Rossetta Lily. We called her Rosaly, she called me Griy. One night, 2 years ago. I was taking her out to her a playdate. There was a distracted driver an-d i-it hi-t h-er. I tired to p-pull her out of the way but I was t-to late. Sh-e was 5 years o-old. She had the same buttons nose that you do.", Hazel pulled me into a hug while I let a couple of tears roll down my face.

"Thank you Greyson for telling me. I think I'm-" she was interrupted by the door being pushed open. I frowned, I swear she was going to say 'I love you'.

"Were the hell are those bitches!", Ryder screamed. I wiped my eyes while our worried friends walked into the living room.

"Were where you guys all day!", Scarlett said. I looked down at Hazel and back at the group.

"We took a mental health day.", she said while shrugging. They all rolled their eyes and tried to sit on the couch. I ended kicking them out with the excuse they had to go pack for the trip.

"Hey Greyson? Could I possibly stay here for the rest of the week? I'm not ready to face my dad yet. I could go home quick to get my stuff, there not home yet." Hazel says nervously.

I smile down at her and nod my head. We drove back to her house and I stayed in the car. She only took about 15 minutes to pack, after we got home. We both collapsed on my bed and fell asleep.

_________________________________________

"Flight Number 329, departure from California to Alaska in 10 minutes.", we all run through the airport like headless chickens, trying to find the right gate.

Ryder and Carson thought it was a good idea to stop to get some snacks, they ended up taking 30 minutes fighting over how much gummy worms they should take. Ya I know they act like twelve year olds.

We finally some how make it onto the plane, finding our seats was a whole another mess. Hazel and sat next to each other. Axel, who I still dont like, sits next to Livia. Scarlett with Ryder, and the twins had to sit with a stranger in the middle row. Let's the say they weren't hapy.

A few minutes after take off, Hazel relaxes and falls asleep on my shoulder. I look down at her, thinking to my self how god damn lucky I am to have met her. I don't know what I would be with out her next to me. She brings out the good in me, in every one really. Before, I was a heartless, stuck up, player. But now, I am a whole different person around Hazel. This girl right here is a keeper, and I will make sure that I am with her forever.
