Grayson

I knocked on the door, but there was no answer. I turned to leave, but saw Jacob walk out of the elevator with his nanny.

"Hey! Are you ready for our visit? Look at all the shells we found!" Jacob seemed so happy when he saw me.

The nanny was unlocking the door, and Jacob walked in behind her.

"What do you want to do today?" I asked.

"Yes!" My eyes popped open when I heard the squeaking of a bed.

You have to be kidding me!

"Holy shit! Oh God!"

I heard a grunt, and looked at my son and he was talking, but I have no idea what he's saying.

"I'm coming!"

"Holy shit! Oh God! I'm coming!"

We all know, you fucking prick!

The bed continues to squeak.

It's pretty damn bad my son's mother is fucking her boyfriend with our son in the next room.

I cleared my throat.

"Maybe we can rent a jetski." I offered, but kept watching the door.

"No way! That's awesome!" Jacob said.

I heard some laughing and giggling, until the duo stumble out of their bedroom. Mary Ellen's face was red and blotchy, while he's in sweats grinning ear to ear. She's tying her robe tighter and she has a guilty look on her face.

I fucking hate that prick!

"I thought I told you to call before you came?" Preston said, and they both crossed their arms.

"Mary Ellen, could we have a moment alone?" I asked.

"Wendy, would you please take Jacob to his room?" She asked, and she complied.

"Alone." I looked at Preston.

"He's a part of this, so whatever you have to say can be said in his presence." She said in a irritated tone.

Why is she so pissed at me?

"What happened last night? Allison said you were upset in the bathroom."

She rolled her eyes. "Yeah, that's what happened." She said sarcastically.

"Tell me, because I'm completely in the dark."

"I really believed you when you said you had nothing to do with that tape."

"Of course I didn't, that tape has ruined my life." I said.

"It ruined your life? You're engaged and expecting a child with one of the people who helped make that video." She said.

"Allison had nothing to do with it." I said.

She laughed. "Kathryn and Allison called graduation D-day, so I know she was aware of the plan. Hell, she even said on the last day of school that I should be scared and something epic was going to happen. That was Allison, not Kathryn."

I didn't know what to think.

"Why wouldn't you have told me?" I asked.

"You don't think I was emberassed enough? What good would it have done anyways? You were in on it, Grayson, don't try to fool me. Your parents happened to be out of town, and your friends somehow knew you'd be taking me there, although you had never taken me to your room any other time." She said.

"I'll admit, I told Jason my parents would be out of town, and I had hoped to take you there that night."

I can see how she's coming to this conclusion, but she's wrong.

"I see how it looks, but explain why I beat Gabe and got arrested? My mom and grandmother saw that video, I can barely look at them in the eye still to this day."

"Don't ask me why you do the things you do, I never understood why any of you treated me that way. I think it's best if you keep your distance from me. I'll have Wendy take Jacob to your room or the lobby when it's your time to spend with him." She said.

"All that and Allison didn't say one thing to upset you?" I asked.

"She said plenty, and I believe we are done here." She approached me and lowered her voice. "She also said that you feel as if Jacob was your fuck up and knocking me up wasn't a part of your plan."

"That's bullshit! I'd never say such a thing, because I've not felt that way. Quite the opposite actually." I defended.

"If you want to spend the day with Jacob that's fine, but please have him back before 8 tonight so he doesn't miss his bedtime."

She turned around and they both went back in the bedroom.

Wait? Did she say Allison is pregnant?

I knocked on Jacob's door and peeked inside. "Can you meet me downstairs in an hour? Could you bring him down?" I asked Jacob and his nanny, and they both said yes.

I stormed into my hotel room. "What the hell did you say to Mary Ellen?" I grabbed Allison's arm, but I'm not hurting her.

"I didn't say a thing. I walked in and she was crying." She claimed.

"When she came out of that bathroom she wasn't crying."

"Well, whining, it's the same thing." She said.

"You're also miraculously pregnant? I haven't slept with you since your last cycle." I said.

"I never said that, what the hell? That girl has finally snapped."

"Tell me about D-Day."

"What do you mean?" She asked with a stunned look on her face.

"Between you and Kathryn."

"Gray, you're taking your problems out on the wrong person. I bet that Preston guy is filling her head with a bunch of crap. I overheard him tell someone that you're in his way, because he plans to marry her here in Hawaii this summer."

"I'll find out right now if you're lying or not." I walked out of the room and dialed the one man I hate more than anyone.

"This is Grayson. I need some information, and it's the least you can do!"

"I don't owe you shit." Gabe snapped at me.

"No, but you owe it to the innocent girl you screwed over. You've got a daughter now, so what if someone did that to her?" I stated a fact.

"What do you want?"

"What was Allison's part in it?" I asked.

He let out a deep breath. "It was her idea, not Kathryn's. We didn't want to implicate anyone else, so we kept her involvement to ourselves. Jason told her that you really cared about the girl and how you were hoping to take her to your house. She suggested the camera and showing it after we got our diploma's. She said it was going to be epic. Actually, I think I have an old letter she wrote about it and gave it to me in science class. I'll see if I can find it, and I'll snap a picture and send it to you."

"Please do, text it to the number on your caller ID."

It didn't take him but a moment, so the bastard had it close.

I walked into our room and calmly sat down. "I'm sorry, Grayson. It'll get easier, I promise. She will lay off once we get joint custody." Allison said.

I looked up at her. "Was graduation epic, Allison?"

She stopped with her mascara and looked me then went back to it.

"That's an odd question." She said.

I looked at my phone and read out loud.

"Gabe,

Jason said Gray's parents will be out of town on Friday night and Gray also told him he's hoping to rent movies and have a quiet night. Ever since that bitch came out of her shell and sang ,Gray hasn't done anything with us, so I have an idea.

Kathryn knows where they hide the spare key. We can plant a camera in his room and record them fucking. The most brilliant part is that Kathryn has access to the AV room and can swap out the traditional graduation video and put in the sex video. It's going to be so epic and there's no way we could possibly get caught. We will call it D-Day.

I hope you're on board because Gray is your friend too and he deserves better.

Talk soon! Allison."

"That's forged! I never gave him that letter!" She said.

"It's your handwriting. It's also going to be published in the paper, since the statute of limitations is over, good luck selling any real estate back home. My dad is changing the locks at my house, so you might as well say goodbye to anything you left there. You've also got ten minutes to throw your shit in your bag, and get the hell out of this room!" I yelled.

I can feel the darkness overwhelming me again.
