LAURENT HOUSE

The next day, Me and the Beckett Crew regrouped with Alyssa. We're sitting in the living room.

Sebastian, Leigh Ann and Sasha are sitting on the three seat couch. Grayson is sitting in the sofa chair. And I'm sitting in a sofa chair across the coffee table.

"So, what's the plan?" Sasha asked.

"We're gonna put Jade Ester back at the asylum for what she put us through. My Mom has enough evidence to put Jade back where she belongs at the asylum institution." Sebastian said.

"We got the evidence from Drake Pierson." Grayson said. "I still don't trust him. But he's scared of Jade."

"Even if, we defeat Jade Ester, what's to stop Remy Levesque from coming after us? Or he sends his henchmen after us?" Leigh Ann asked.

"My Uncle Remy has noticed that I backed off from asking questions about his Mafia business. But he does lock his office before he goes to the living room and watches crappy TV." Alyssa said.

Sasha looks at me. "CP? You've been quiet."

"Aly? You can't risk it." I said to her. "Remy could hurt Dina you'll be stuck with him."

"I know." Alyssa said.

"Right now, we should focus on taking down Jade Ester. And then, we can focus on Remy." I said.

We all agreed.

Catty (VO) That was the plan. Take down Jade Ester first. And then, we focus on Mafia Remy Levesque.

THE SMITH-GRIFFITH-MARKS COMMUNITY CENTER

Later that day, Grayson is working out on a free-standing punching bag wearing a pair of fingerless gloves.

I'm sitting atop a table, observing him.

"So, how are things with Cane's Dad, Mr. Garrett?" I asked.

"Mr. Garrett has some recruits for his firefighters at the fire station." Grayson said.

"What are you gonna do now?" I asked.

"I don't know, Dahl." Grayson said. "Sebastian, Fen, Cane and Myself are unemployed and there are barely any jobs around in this small town."

"What about your MMA? You have that, don't you?" I said.

"Yeah, I do, but it's not a job." Grayson said, and he stops his workout and looks at me. "I don't know what the hell to do."

"What about the auto-shop?" I asked.

"I've been thinking about that. But it's gonna be a temporary job until I find another." Grayson said.

"Oh, okay." I said.

"What about you?" Grayson asked.

"I have my art gallery." I said to him.

"Oh, yeah." Grayson said.

Grayson and I exchange chuckles with each other. He goes back to working out on the punching bag.

BAXTER HOUSE

That afternoon, Grayson and I walks into his house and he closes the door behind him.

"I'm gonna go and take a shower." Grayson said.

"Okay, I'll be in the living room." I said to him.

[Song: Good For You - Selena Gomez]

"Or?" He said.

I look at Grayson. "Or what, Gray?"

Grayson looks at me with a glint of flirtatiousness in his eyes. "Or maybe, you could be with me if you want."

I chuckled softly to myself with a small smile.

Shortly after . . .

In the bathroom, in the warm shower, Grayson's and Mine's clothes lays on the floor. He and I are in the shower, embraced in a kissy make-out with each other with the blue shower curtain showing our silhouettes.

Grayson and I kisses each other. He gently leans me against the shower wall, playfully biting my lower lip.

I gently runs my hands in his wet hair as he pecks small kisses on my neck and I close my eyes in lovable pleasure as he does so. And then, we kiss again with the warm steam from the shower covering us both.

Afterwards, Grayson and I are in his room, we had redressed ourselves.

[Song ends]

"So, that happened." Grayson said, sitting on the couch.

"Yeah, it did." I said, sitting on the edge of the bed. "By the way, I got you something."

"You did?" Grayson said.

"Yeah." I said, taking out Grayson's beaded name necklace from my jacket pocket.

Grayson looks at it, surprised. "You kept it?"

"I did." I said to him.

Grayson gets up and slowly walks up to me and sits down next to me on the bed. He gently takes his beaded name bracelet in his hand.

"I gave this to you as a way to remember me. I told you that we were gonna get back together when I got out from the juvenile detention center." Grayson said.

"You gave it to me the last time I visited you." I said to him.

Grayson and I exchange looks at each other.

Flashback

At the Providence Juvenile Detention Center, Grayson and I are in the visiting room, sitting across from each other at a table.

"I don't want you to come back here again, Catty." Grayson told me.

"Why not?" I asked her, gloomy.

"Because I don't want you to see me like this." Grayson said, gesturing to his gray scrubs.

"I don't care." I tell him.

"I do." Grayson told me. "Everyone at Providence Boarding School Academy knows what caused our breakup and I don't want my Bad Boy reputation to rub off on you. I don't want that for you."

Grayson and I exchange gloomy looks at each other. He takes off his beaded name bracelet and puts it in my hand.

"We can't be together anymore until this nonsense calms down or it's forgotten. I want you to keep my necklace for me, so, you'll remember me." Grayson said to me. "When I get released, we can be together again."

"Okay, I will." I said to him.

Grayson and I held each other's hands on the table.

End of Flashback

Back inside Grayson's room, he puts his beaded name necklace back around his neck.

"After you broke up with me, I was distraught. But I didn't pursue a relationship with Sebastian until I gotten myself straight." I said to him.

"And by the time, I was released from the Providence Juvenile Detention Center, Sebastian and You were in a relationship." Grayson said.

"I kept your necklace in my drawer at my computer desk. I couldn't wear it because I was with Sebastian." I tell him.

"I know." Grayson said and gently holds my hand in his hand. "But it's bygones now."

"It is." I said to him. "I love you."

"I love you too." Grayson said.

And Grayson and I shares a kiss.

PROVIDENCE ASYLUM INSTITUTION

That evening, Me and the Beckett Crew, along with Alyssa, Fen and Cane, are with my Mom and Dad.

Jade Ester is zip-tied with her hands in front of her.

"What the hell is this?" Jade asked.

"We have proof that you are never ever gonna get released from the Providence Asylum Institution." My Dad tells her.

"You murdered your parents in cold blood while the three of you were at the Providence Prison." My Mom tells her. "You're a sociopathic serial killer, Jade, and you will never hurt anyone ever again."

Jade Ester just chuckles. "So, you think you've won? You can think just put me away and it'll all be over? Well, guess what, bitches, it's not. It will never be over. This small town will be nothing sooner than later."

"Goodbye, Jade." My Dad said.

Three security guards escorts Jade Ester into the main gate and it closes behind them.

ROCHELLE'S DINER

Me and the Beckett Crew are sitting in a booth table across from each other with our milkshakes, celebrating a win. With Jade Ester gone, we can finally take a breather.

"So, Jade Ester is gone." Sasha said.

"Yeah, she is." Sebastian said and pecks a kiss on Leigh Ann's cheek. "And we can be our normal young adult selves again."

"Yeah, we can." Grayson said.

"One sociopathic villainess is gone, and another Mafia villain is next to go for a take down." Leigh Ann said.

"It's like a weight has been lifted off." I said.

"Yeah, it has." Sasha said.

Me and the Beckett Crew exchange small smiles at each other and chuckles with each other, sipping on our milkshakes and enjoying each other's company.
