Grayson didn't pay attention to the tabloids that often, knowing that they had just spewed gossip from things that weren't even true. Until you had showed up, exploding every corner of the internet that came with their own repercussions.

Slut, Con, Player, Manipulator, Ugly, Disgusting, Wretched, Whore, Spoiled, Toxic, Not worth it, Not special..
