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

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

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

Chapter Fourteen - I Want To Stay Away For As Long As Possible

GracieRyland and have been sitting in the diner for the last couple of hours. We finished our meals over an hour ago. Neither of us seems to be in any rush to leave, so we ordered milkshakes and desserts, too."Gracie, do you want to go home?" he asks.I shake my head and sigh. "No, not really."I want to stay away from home as long as I can. I am safer this way, especially with how drunk I know my dad will be when I do return."Do you want to stay here tonight? We can book into the motel?"I am not sure I want to spend another night with him. Then again, last night was not bad at all.My eyes divert down, and I blush. "Yes.""Okay, we can go by, and hopefully they will have a room for us." He smiles.I return the smiles. "Sounds good."My dad won't even care if I don't come home. Tomorrow, I know he will be mad because the house is still a mess. I can deal with that when the time comes."Well, let's finish up, pay, and we can head over."We finish off what we have left. I go to give
