Grace was walking around the museum when she felt as if someone was watching her, she ignored this feeling but couldn't get rid of it. She looked back when the strange feeling didn't stop to clarify but didn't find anything suspicious in that room.
She kept walking and got the same feeling again after some time, she looked back again and it seemed that someone was indeed watching her and had just hidden behind the wall for she saw someone's head creep behind the wall, into the other side of the museum. She had a bad feeling about it but gathered her courage to look once. She walked in that direction and her heartbeat increased with each step, anxiety took over her and she was nervous about who could it be and if something bad was about to happen.
She looked behind the wall and there was no one, she sighed in relief and was about to turn back when she saw a sticky note on the wall. Her heart skipped a beat, she slowly got it off and looked at it.
It said, "It's g
Grace left the cafe and was kinda relieved after letting out all her feelings in front of someone who understood her and gave her a little encouragement to tell Ava everything. Yara was right that if she loved her then she would understand her and help her move on from her past. Grace took a deep breath and was finally thinking of telling Ava the truth, she was ready to stop running away from her fear, the things that hurt her the most.She started walking towards the taxi and asked the driver to go back to the museum. She texted Ava on the way, asking her where she was but didn't get a reply even after it was marked seen so she texted Emily. Emily replied after a few minutes and told her that they were back at the hotel for they couldn't find her at the museum.Grace was kinda nervous after knowing that; she thought that Ava would be angry but still wished that she'd understand her reasons when she told her everything. She plugged in her earphones and started listenin
Grace flinched as the door slammed shut and didn't move at all for a few seconds. She slowly opened her eyes and looked up, the room was spinning in her eyes. She felt uncomfortable but there was nothing she could do about it. She laid her head on the floor and closed her eyes tightly, her hands still gripping on her arms tightly. But now it was even worse. She started remembering her past, all those horrible moments started revolving in her head- her step-mother beating her, Yara leaving her alone, her classmates bullying her, her principal scolding her and suspending her from school, and her father beating and her in a dark room, crying her eyes out. She remembered the past and tears started falling down her eyes but she didn't let any sound escape from her mouth.She was trembling and was breathing hard, taking deep breaths. Her eyes were red from all that crying and her arms were bruised as usual. She heard footsteps outside the door and flinched. She got up and started w
Grace was sitting in the bathroom, leaning against the door, staring at the floor. Her eyes were blank and there was no emotion visible in them just like on her face. She wasn't shaking anymore and her heartbeat was a lot more stable now. There was complete silence and no movement outside.She had been motionless for a long time and then slowly looked up. The room was a complete mess, all the bottles were on the floor and there was a small crack on the mirror. She stood up and stared at her reflection again. Her hair was messy, clothes ruffled and eyes blank. Her arms and legs were bruised, a little blood was stuck in her nails and her eyes were red and were dried out from all that crying. Her lips moved a bit but no words came out.She took off her clothes slowly and as she stood in front of the mirror again, she noticed that there were faded bruises on her body as well which Ava didn't notice earlier because of the dark. She turned on the shower and washed up. She wo
It was a new day and they all were going to see the aquarium that day. Ava was quite excited about it and was all ready for she woke up early that day. Grace was in the washroom and was still getting ready."Babe, hurry up!" Ava called her and was getting excited."Give me a minute," Grace shouted back."We're gonna be late like yesterday..." Ava whined as she pouted cutely."I still have to do my hair," Grace said as she stood at the door, staring at Ava who was sitting on the bed, eagerly waiting for her. She had her clothes on but she still had to fix her hair which was a complete mess at that point. "How about you go down and gather everyone for they were late yesterday and in the meantime, I'll hurry up and get ready..." Grace suggested and was quite hesitant about her reply. Ava looked up and smiled at her brightly."It's a great idea." She said in excitement and stood up, Grace smiled at her reaction and was relieved. "I'll kick them all out
The journey was quite long for the aquarium was on the other side of the city. Elijah was still sitting with Grace for he found that place pretty peaceful, he was listening to some music and had borrowed earphones from Grace while she was looking outside enjoying the beautiful scenery. She was a little calmer than before, maybe because there was someone beside her- someone who didn't question her.Ava was playing with others the whole time, they all sat in the front seats; she didn't even bother to look back at Grace even once, neither did she realize that Elijah was sitting beside Grace. She enjoyed being among people who were loud and
When Ava was hugging Grace, her back was towards the open area, Grace noticed Elijah standing at the back, he wanted to walk to them but then Ava started kissing her. He had a disgusted expression on his face and walked away immediately. But as Ava went away, he returned and walked towards Grace; he wanted to confront her and ask what was happening. But he saw her crying on the floor from some distance. He felt bad for her but then remembered they both had lied to him.Grace heard footsteps and wiped away her tears away and grabbed her phone from the floor and was about to get up when she saw Elijah standing in front of her. She flinched
"I'm sorry..." Ava said from behind and they all turned to look at her at once. She had clenched her hands tightly and looked kinda awkward in that situation for she rarely apologized to anyone. Grace had a blank face while the others were shocked to see that Ava was apologizing to someone but also knew that she was doing it for her pleasure, she needed Grace now.Well yeah, it's true, but she didn't need her but she wanted her, Grace was like a trophy for her which she had to win at any cost. Ava was obsessed with her, she wanted to own her and keep her only for herself, she wanted Grace to just be with her. She wanted to capture her li
The trip finished and their days turned back to normal. Time passed quickly and it had already been six months since they had started dating.Grace went to college daily and the whole group used to stay together during the college hours and they all had a lot of fun. After doing a part-time job, Grace used to hang out with Ava, and sometimes Ava even stayed over at her apartment.But there were also days when Ava didn't even bother contacting her and complet
