Chapter 07
"Bye Grace!" Chris shouted as he went his own way.
"Bye boo!" I said, hurrying crazily to my class.
Chris and I had stayed up late last night and we overslept and lost track of time this morning. I was still feeling really sleepy, I hadn't eaten breakfast, I barely took a shower, my head hurt and I probably looked like a homeless person.
I was outside the auditorium walking to the back door. The class had already begun and our professor was standing in the front of the class, speaking. I threw my hood over my head and stepped into the class. I searched for a vacant seat and spotted one at the edge of the back seats. I walked over to the seat and sat, sinking lazily into it. I took out my laptop from my bag and placed it on the little desk after adjusting it up.
"Why'd you come in so late? That's unlike you." I heard an all so annoying voice speak beside me.
Chapter 08"Ayeeee!" We exclaimed in unison with our hands up earning glares from people around us.Chris, Dean and I were in a diner and believe it or not, we were tossing strawberries into each other's mouths. We had become quite the trio actually. If we were to star some badass movie, Chris would be the man-with-the-plan, Dean would be the super hot brains and I'll just be, you know, very awesome at fighting bad guys. Well, the point is that, three of us were really close friends now who hang out a lot.It was Friday and we didn't have any other class for the rest of the day.Except Chris.I rubbed my palms together, "Okay, my turn. Shoot me."Chris picked up a strawberry and threw it carefully into my open mouth. I felt in land on my tongue."Ayeeeee!" We exclaimed with our hands up, again. Earning dirty looks from other people, agai
Chapter 09"What about the pink dress she wore the other night?" Chris looked over at me."No freaking way." I panted."But it was cute!" Chris exclaimed."To you." I mumbled, trying to catch my breath."Do you think she'd want a dog?" Chris asked me."I don't really know Chris, get her whatever. The. Hell. You. Want. To." I panted as I stopped, resting my palm on my knee.Chris stopped jogging and hovered over me, "Come on, Grace. We haven't even run 10 blocks."Chris woke me up early this morning to go for a run. I was still sleeping when he barged into my room with the wonderful idea. Apparently, he wants us to keep in shape. So, I threw on my tank top, track pants and running shoes but my boobs hurt like hell.I stood up straight, "I'm fucking tired, Chris.""Too bad, we're not done. Let's g
Chapter 10Immediately I stepped down from Dean's car, the chilly October air hit my skin and I wrapped my arms around my body, rubbing up and down my bare skin."Cold?" Dean asked beside me."Yeah." I shuddered.Dean shrugged off his thick jean jacket and brought it behind my back. I willingly fixed my two hands into the sleeves and tugged on the edges of the jacket. It was huge on me; my fingers were barely visible through the sleeves.It felt a lot warm."Thank you." I said in gratitude."It's no problem," He smiled at me. "And it really goes great with your outfit."I smirked, "It does, doesn't it?""Come on, let's head inside." He cupped the small of my back and we walked toward the house.Immediately we stepped into the house, the loud trap music which was faintly audible when we were ou
Chapter 11{ D E A N }I knew it was wrong the moment I finished speaking. I shouldn't have been so harsh on her but she just drove me fucking insane. But, what I said to her wasn't right, especially after she opened up to me today."Got it." She said sternly.At that moment I was scared because I couldn't particularly tell what she was thinking. Her eyes held no emotion at all; they seemed distant and cold, like she was building her walls back up.Not like she ever really let them down for me but I saw a glimpse of what was on the other side. But it felt like she was locking me out again.Completely.Immediately the words came out of her mouth, she walked away and I hadn't realized it. I was thinking too much, about her, again.God, this woman."Grace!" I ca
Chapter 12{ G R A C E }"Got it." I said in monotone and walked away, feeling a foreign ache in my chest.I squeezed through people, making it to the front door. I pulled the door open and quickened my pace.I wasn't gonna cry.I wasn't gonna cry.I didn't care about what Dean said to me.I didn't care about any of it.It didn't matter.I didn't care.But every cell in my body was betraying my thoughts. I felt tears sting at my eyes and I blinked them back. I refused to cry, this wasn't the first time I was hearing something like that.So, why did it hurt so much?I ran a hand through my hair as I walked faster. My body was shaking and my breathing was uneven, I just needed to
Chapter 13I barely had any sleep last night.Screw you, Dean Ryan.I woke up early this morning and had a long shower. I got into the kitchen and started fixing up breakfast."Hey G." I heard Chris speak behind me."Hi," I said and placed his omelette on a plate and handed it to him."Thank you." Chris said quietly.He was wearing a black V-neck on blue ripped jeans. His hair was wet and droplets of water were falling to his face.I dished out my omelette and took out the mugs of hot chocolate. I handed Chris a mug and sat down."So... You never told me how last night went." Chris said cautiously."I don't want to talk about it." I shrugged."Why not? Did you guys fight again?" He raised an eyebrow."Let it go, Christian." I said firmly."Oh, so
Chapter 14"I'm sorry." Dean said softly into the cold night."For?""I'm sorry for being an asshole to you, for being so mean and saying all those stupid things. I didn't mean any of it, I swear.""Just because you want to be forgiven doesn't mean you should lie. You meant every single word that night, you just never thought you'd say it to my face."Dean had driven us to the beach house. By the time we got there, darkness had already seeped into the sky. We sat quietly on the beach sand, staring into the water.He lowered his head and whispered, "I'm sorry for making you cry, Chip. I really am."I'm sorry that I let his words make me cry. I had promised myself that that will never happen again but it's like with Dean I seem to break all my promises on my rule of life. I didn't know what it was about him."And?" I inquired.
Chapter 15Dean and I stayed at the beach house for a little while last night before he drove me back home. I made sure to give Kyle a call, apologizing for Dean's behavior, before I went to bed.I woke up this morning with a cheerful feeling. I had a long refreshing shower, got dressed in a mint green sweater and blue jeans, placed everything necessary into my bag and walked out of my room.Chris was still in his room when I got out so I walked into the kitchen and started fixing up breakfast. I was dancing to the song that was playing in my iPod, swaying my hips and bobbing my head to the rythm as I flipped the pancakes in the pan."Morning, Grace." I heard Chris speak groggily behind me.I placed two pancakes in a plate and turned to Chris who was seated on a barstool. I handed him his breakfast with a bright smile on my face, "Morning, best friend."Chris' e
