oh sorry about that. Good luck then..
He finished typing the text and continued petting Lee.

It’s fine. She stuffed her phone in her pocket and unlock the front door as slowly as possible. As far as she knew, her parents were both unaware upstairs.

Grayson waited for her with Lee. His happiness growing realizing that he actually had someone to talk to.

Jasmine closed the front door softly behind her and made her way towards her neighbor’s house. She couldn’t help smiling with excitement as she jogged across the lawn to the shed Grayson had spoken of.

Grayson saw her out of the corner of his eye jogging around the house. He turned to pick up Lee out of the window so she could get through.

Jasmine pulled herself up the shed, a much more difficult task than she imagined. Once she was up on the shed roof, she stood up looking at the window she’d have to reach. She tried looking through the window to find Grayson.

Grayson turned back to the window and looked down at Jasmine with a grin. “Hey,” he offered his hand to her so she could get up. It was low enough to get up from the shed, but too high to climb back down without going around the entire house.

“Hey,” she smiled back, but but she took his hand, she looked around, “How could we get back down from your window?”

“There’s no problem getting down, it’s just getting back up without someone to help that’s the problem,” he told her, nudging Lee back into the room when he tried to sniff Jasmine’s hand.

“Ohh, Okay,” she grabbed his hand, “Then thank you for the help.” She struggled to pull herself up onto the roof, “I can’t wait for you to meet Francisco.”

Grayson helped her up. “Yeah I can’t wait to-“ He pulled Jasmine through the window and yelped quietly as he fell backwards onto the bed, staring up at her in shock.

Jasmine heaved up into the room, “Oh! Woah, Are you okay?” She steadied herself and reached out a hand to help him.

Grayson nodded quickly and scrambled to his feet, rushing to brush his hair back over the half healed cut on his forehead. “Yeah, I’m fine,” he muttered quietly.

“Okay..What happened to your forehead?” She retracted her hand when he didn’t take it.

“Nothing. It’s nothing.” Grayson sat down cross legged on the bed and gestured for her to sit down if she wanted. Lee crawled over to him and hid behind his back.

Jass sank down onto his bed, “So..you’re locked in your room?” She scanned around the room, analyzing how he decorated it. How someone keeps their room tells a lot about the person. At least she’d read that before.

“Pretty much. And you’re grounded?” His room was fairly neat. He had a wide variety of art around his room and a bookshelf in the corner. It was small, but he didn’t mind. Lee slipped out from behind him and crawled into his lap, gazing up curiously at Jasmine.

“Yeah…technically grounded. They’re still thinking of the details, they said.” She shrugged, “Saving a friend from their jail-cell-bedroom seems like a pretty good excuse to take before they officially say I can’t leave the house outside of school. Don’t you think?” Her eyes fell down to Lee, “Adorable.” She grinned.

Grayson laughed quietly and nodded. “Yeah..great idea. Why are you doing this again?” He asked softly, leaning down and kissing Lee behind his ear, avoiding looking up at Jasmine. Lee purred and rubbed his face against Grayson’s cheek.

“Because I want to help…and I know we’ve only known each other for a day, but I care about you.” She kept looking at Lee, biting the corner of her lip in nervousness. What if he didn’t want help?”

“Oh—you..really?” He asked, glancing up at her as Lee crawled forward and nuzzled his face against Jasmine’s leg.

“Well, Yeah..” she pet Lee’s head with a couple fingers, “Your cat is adorable, can you bring him with you?”

Grayson shrugged and smiled softly. “Yeah he basically follows me everywhere, not that I have anywhere to go..but,” he shrugged again, petting Lee lazily.

“Aww, sweet kitty.” She smiled, “So..when do you want to leave?” She didn’t stand up from the bed, but she looked to his face, “It would be best if I wasn’t gone from home for too long.”

"Yeah we can leave now if you want. I..just um..how am I going to get back?" He asked slowly as Lee casually jumped down from the bed and flopped over on the floor.
