"She will be the death of me," They said.
Little did they know I wasn't afraid of dying.Chapter 18
"Chip, calm down for a second." Dean held both my shoulders. "He has to be somewhere in the house."
"Maybe he might just be somewhere you haven't looked yet." He said in a soothing voice.
"He was talking to his parents not too long ago and he looked so glum. They must have said something terrible to him." I stuttered.
"We're going to find him, Chip. You have to calm down."
<Chapter 19"Strawberry or chocolate?" Kyle asked me as we walked out of our department."Tough one." I bit my lip. "I'd go with strawberry.""If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?" He asked.I thought about this for a while, "Ice cream, but only if I can get my mom's brownies with it.""You have to pick one." He said as he gawked at some girls walking past us."Ice cream then." I decided and that was when I saw Dean waiting near his car.Chris was home sick with a really bad cold so Dean was supposed to drive me home so we could take care of Chris together.Kyle and I walked to Dean's car and I gave Dean a knowing look. I had been telling him that he had to apologize to Kyle for acting the way he did the other day but he always managed to slip out of the topic."Hey Chip." Dea
Chapter 20I woke up the next morning with a very terrible pain in my stomach and when I walked into my bathroom to take a shower, what I had been thinking was confirmed.My period.I thought it wasn't coming for the next three days.I groaned loudly as the striking pain came again. I have always had excruciating period cramps. Whenever I was on my period, I always take a lot of ibuprofen, sit on the floor in pain, reduce my sugar intake and most of the time, I get sick. It was the worst time of the month for me.I think for most girls too.When I was done taking a shower and fixing on a tampon, I looked through the cabinets to see if I had my ibuprofen but it had finished. I let out another groan as I staggered out of my bathroom and got ready.I placed all my necessary things in my bag and walked out of the room. I
Chapter 21It was another amazing holiday in the year.Halloween.Dean invited Chris and me to a Halloween party his friend, Ethan, was throwing and I thought, why the hell not?Halloween was one of my favorite holidays.The first being Christmas.I ordered my costume two days ago and it came in this morning. It was around 7 PM and I was in my room getting ready."Grace? Are you ready?!" I heard Chris shout from the living room."In a minute!" I shouted back.I walked into my bathroom and put on my costume. It was really hard to put on and I spent over 10 minutes wearing it all. Once I was done getting ready, I glanced at myself in my full length mirror and I liked the woman staring back at me.The makeup I had on was pretty much and it re
Thank you so much SorryMuchacho for the beautiful cover above! I really appreciate it. Your graphics are amazeballs <3.Chapter 22"Dean?" I said softly, but it was like he wasn't even hearing me. Like he wasn't even aware I was standing there."Dean?" I said, a little bit louder as I stepped into his room.It looked a mess."Leave me alone, Grace." He growled."No." I said, my breath shaky."
Chapter 23{ D E A N }Last night, I slept.For the first time in a long time, I slept.I slept peacefully with nothing haunting my dreams. I didn't have that same nightmare, I didn't see the same heartwrenching incident replay over and over in my mind, like I was the one dying. I didn't wake up shaking and sweating. I didn't have to deprive myself of sleep because of the fear of the nightmares. I didn't have to.Because last night, I dreamt of something different, someone different. Someone that makes me happy.Grace.But when I woke up, she was gone.I sat up straight on the bed and rubbed my temples.Maybe she was in the bathroom."Grace?" I called out for her but there was no
Chapter 24It was Wednesday the following week.I woke up that morning due to the sound of a loud crashing noise. I sat up on my bed and ran a hand down my face. I took my phone from my bedside table and checked the time. It was 9:45 AM which meant that I was late for my first class.I also noticed that I had gotten two missed calls from my mom and Tommy. I made a mental note to call them back as I lazily got out of bed and headed for the bathroom.When I was done getting brushing my teeth and taking a warm shower, I put on a pink floral dress and one of my many black heels. I dusted on a light makeup on my face, stuffed my laptop and other necessary things in my bag and with my phone in hand, I walked out of my room."Chris?!" I called out as I made my way into the living room.It was oddly very dark and I
Chapter 25"Grace!" Christian called out for me, honking his car."I'm coming, I'm coming!" I said as I locked the front door and hurried into Chris' car."You look like shit." He said as he started driving."Gee, thanks." I rolled my eyes and zipped up my bag.I arrived home late yesterday night and after that, I still wasn't able to get any sleep. I woke up really late this morning and I was a mess, trying to sort myself fast enough."So, how did yesterday go?" Chris asked."It sucked that you weren't there though, but it was my best birthday yet." I said with a smile. "Dean took us to Sunnyvale and I saw so many beautiful places."Chris smiled, "Of course it was the best birthday."I looked at him."Look at how happy you look just talking about the day you had with Dean, your smile is literally b
Chapter 26It was a cold Saturday afternoon.I woke up late and Chris had already stepped out when I did. After taking a warm shower, I threw on a purple sweater and blue jeans. I headed to the kitchen and started fixing brunch for myself.I had on my Beats By Dr Dre headphone listening to Anne Marie because she's awesome. I was bobbing my head and moving my body to the rhythm of the song as I sang along and used the spoon in my hand as a microphone.I felt my heart jump out of my body when all of a sudden, someone bigger than me wrapped their arms around my shoulders from behind."Bloody fucking hell!" I screamed and hit them in the stomach with my elbow."Holy shit, Grace!" I heard a familiar voice groan as I took off the headphone and placed it on the counter.I turned around
