Gracie and I head to hers. She seems nervous suddenly. It seems she is not keen on my going into her house. Why, I don’t know, but I will find out once I get in. She stays silent as she nervously tries the door. It is open. Her dad must have left it unlocked for her.

“I am sorry if the place is a mess. My dad isn’t the tidiest person. I wasn’t here last time to clean up.” She whispers.

He is a grown-up man; he should be tidying up his mess, not leaving everything for Gracie to do.

  • Healing With My Bad Boy    Chapter Thirteen - It Shouldn't Be Hard

    Ryland Gracie and I head to hers. She seems nervous suddenly. It seems she is not keen on my going into her house. Why, I don’t know, but I will find out once I get in. She stays silent as she nervously tries the door. It is open. Her dad must have left it unlocked for her.“I am sorry if the place is a mess. My dad isn’t the tidiest person. I wasn’t here last time to clean up.” She whispers.He is a grown-up man; he should be tidying up his mess, not leaving everything for Gracie to do.“It is fine. You don’t need to apologize to me.”Gracie nods and flashes a soft smile at me. We stroll inside. The first thing that catches my eye is all the holes in the walls. Her father clearly has a temper. As long as he doesn’t take it out on her. The second thing to catch my eye is all the empty bottles and cans lying around, too. There are so many of them.“I will sort it later. Let’s go upstairs.” She says, grabbing my arm, pulling me towards the stairs.I don’t mention anything about what I

  • Healing With My Bad Boy    Chapter Twleve - I Expected To Freak Out

    GracieI wake to the sound of an alarm. What the hell? Why is my alarm going off? I don’t need one this morning. I go to reach for my cell to turn it off, but soon realise it isn’t even mine. It makes me more confused until I remember I am not at home and not alone. I am at Ryland’s place, sharing his bed. I honestly thought I would freak out when I woke up, but I am not freaking out at all. I slept better last night than I have in a long time. “Ryland, why do you have an alarm set?” I groan, pushing him. “Because I needed to wake us up before my mom came in.” My heart pounds in my chest, panic taking over me. “I forgot about that. Should I hide in the bathroom or the closet or something?” I ask, looking around for somewhere to hide. “No, she will only come in and check on me for a second. Hide under the covers. “How do you know when she will come in?” “Because she comes in at the same time every morning, which will be in a few minutes, you should get under the covers.” I can’t

  • Healing With My Bad Boy    Chapter Eleven - Better Than I Imagined

    Ryland “Are you certain this is alright?" Gracie asks as we sit in my car outside my house.“Yes, it is fine. My mom will be sleeping. She will check on me before she leaves, so you will need to hide, as I said, but only for a moment.”I understand she's uncomfortable staying at my house, but what options does she have? Sleep outside? I wouldn’t permit that. Given what she mentioned about her father, he probably wouldn’t be pleased if she woke him up at this hour to let her in. We've been sitting outside for the past twenty minutes, and I've been trying to persuade her to come inside. I'm doing my best to stay patient with her, as it appears to be difficult for her. Gracie lets out a loud sigh. “Okay, let’s go inside before I change my mind.”We step out of the car and grab my house keys to get inside. I can feel her nervousness as we walk to my front door. I hold her hand and tell her to stay quiet so we don’t wake my mom. I guide her to my bedroom in the dark, careful to avoid tr

  • Healing With My Bad Boy    Chapter Ten - Maybe It Won't Be So Bad

    Gracie I am in my bedroom, hiding. My dad is drunk and in a nasty mood. I am trying to stay out of his way. I already got a slap earlier for no reason. He is still drinking, which means he is going to get worse. I wish I had the money to move out and get away from him.“GRACIE, WHERE ARE YOU?” I hear him yell.I can hear him coming upstairs. I am not letting him anywhere near me tonight. He can find another way to vent his anger. I dash around my room, pulling on joggers, grab my cell, and make my way to the window. I open it and shimmy down the drainpipe.“Where do you go, you little bitch?” he hisses.I dart towards my car but then realise I’ve forgotten my keys. Shit! My house keys are attached, which means I won’t be able to get back in. Well, unless my dad is too drunk to notice the window is open. I can get back in that way if he doesn’t. Until then, I have no idea what to do. I will need to wait a few hours until he passes out. I can’t text Lola; she is at Ben’s place. I have

  • Healing With My Bad Boy    Chapter Nine - Maybe Things Will Be Different

    Ryland I am helping get Lola to her front door. She is wasted. She drank a little too much. Lola had a lot of fun, though, and that was the main thing. It isn’t easy, but I manage to get her there.“Are you sure you will be okay getting to bed? What if your parents catch you?”“I will be fine. My parents will be sound asleep. I will be very quiet, shh.” Her words are slurred, but she giggles.I unlock and open the door for her. Lola staggers in, waving behind her as she goes. She leaves her keys in the door and the door wide open. Chuckling, I take the keys out, close and lock the door, posting them through the letterbox. I shake my head, laugh, and return to the car where Gracie is waiting for me.“Will she be okay?”“She will be fine. She is a pro at this, no matter how much she has had to drink.”I have sobered up a lot. I am still a little buzzed, but I did stop drinking a while ago.“Do you need to go home right now?” I ask.It is one in the morning. I am unsure whether she has

  • Healing With My Bad Boy    Chapter Eight - It Isn't Easy

    Gracie I’m relaxed now, enjoying myself. Having fun isn't always easy, given everything going on in my life. I like how everyone is chilled—no drama. Lola got what she wanted, and Ben follows her around like a lost puppy. It’s cute, though I’ve had enough of their PDA. Thankfully, Ryland hasn’t left my side, so I’m not alone. He’s been hit on, but he brushes them off, to their annoyance.Most people are drunk or high or both, except a few, including me. Ryland fits in perfectly. These people suit him better than those at our school.Even with good company, I need air. If I stay, I’ll get high on weed fumes. Ryland talks with someone, so I slip outside quietly. The backyard is huge, with a swimming pool. I wish I had one—maybe someday.I spot a porch swing by the pool and head over. It’s peaceful out here, despite the noise inside. I relax, close my eyes, and breathe in fresh air—much better than inside.“There you are, brown eyes.” I hear from behind me.It can only be Ryland since
