How We End Chapter 53
Chapter 53"Happy birthday Christian!" Dean, Uncle Stanley, Aunt Karen and I shouted in unison as soon as he walked into the living room.A week had passed by and everyone had headed back home for Spring break. I, for one, felt genuinely happy and excited to be back in L.A. to see my family. It felt like so many years had passed since I had seen them and it felt very good to finally do so again. I truly missed them. Mom and Dad had never failed to call, Tommy and I had texted whenever we got the chance to but with school stress and all, time had never felt enough for anything. And did it make me joyous be off from the stress of school and finally be back with the other people I really cared about, even if it was just for less than two weeks."Aww!" Chris wiped a fake tear off his eyes. "You guys are so sweet. Thank you!""My little boy's all grown up." Karen sniffed an

Chapter 54"Grace, where are you?!" I heard my mother shout from the entryway. "We're all ready to go."Saturday had rolled by fast and so had Stanley and Karen's charity function. I walked out of the kitchen and into the entryway to see my father, mother and little brother dressed up formally and they all looked really good. My mother was dressed in a white off-the-shoulder pencil dress. Her hair was packed up in a neat ponytail and the makeup highlighted on her face was absolutely gorgeous, she had a black clutch in hand to match her black stilettos. My father and brother on the other hand were both dressed in matching tuxedos."Aww," I smiled at them. "You guys look soooo good."They all shared confused looks."Gracie, why aren't you ready yet?" My mother asked.I had gotten my makeup and hair done but I was still putting on a bathrobe and flip

Chapter 55"You mean you guys haven't still spoken since he went back?" Chris asked me as he lay sprawled on my bed."Nope." I muffled into my pillow."Did he text or call you at all?" He asked as I felt him sit up, leaning on his elbow."Yeah, maybe once or twice." I took my face out of the pillow and faced him. "But I didn't respond."Chris picked the nearest thing he could find and threw it at me, "Why the fuck not?""Cause I'm mad at him!" I pouted. "He left me here to go stay in the same house with the very girl who's had it out for our relationship since day 1."My best friend scratched the back of his neck, "Well, you do have a right to be mad."It had been approximately four days since Dean left me at Stanley and Karen's function and headed back to Santa Clara. It was fucking with my mind actually, especially how we hadn't spoken. The

Chapter 56I moved at such a fast pace, making it almost impossible for him to catch up with me. Immediately the elevator which I had hurriedly entered dinged open to the last floor, I bolted out of it and ran out of the building. Tears clouded my vision as I descended the stairs, hurrying to my car."Grace!" I heard my father shout behind me but I continued to move. "For the love of God, wait!"I pressed on the unlock censor of my car keys. The headlights of my car flashed two times and I wasted no time in pulling the car door open and hopping in the driver's seat. I could see my father running down the stairs through the corner of my eye when I inserted the key into the ignition and drove away.So many thoughts sped through my mind as I drove back home that morning. My breaths came out shaky and unsteady as memories of what had happened replayed in my head. I wished I had

Chapter 57I didn't say anything.I couldn't say anything.I felt numb and lifeless.I could hear the distant sobbing of my mother, "Grace? Grace, sweetie are you there?"My knees weakened and I fell to the bed. All I could do was gaze into space, thinking. My mother's words echoed in my head until everything felt all woozy to me.My father was dead.How could it be? I spoke to my father just this morning. How could he be dead?The pain I felt in my core took over my entire body, weakening every fibre of my being one by one. The hollowness I felt in my chest increased tenfold as my mind played back our encounter this morning. My father had died and the last words I said to him were completely awful.And they were all for nothing.'I hate you so much and I
How We End Chapter 58
Chapter 58{ D E A N } It had been two months since the passing of Mr Lucas Anderson. Two months of watching my girlfriend desperately try to live through the pain and failing at it. Two months of always trying to make sure she was okay or her mood wasn't so bad. Two months of trying to act strong for her. Deep down, the death of Mr Anderson had hurt me more than I thought it would and watching Grace have to deal with everything made it all worse.Watching her blame herself for what had happened to her father reminded me a lot of myself when Charlie had died. I knew how it felt. I knew how it felt to wallow in self-guilt to the point you where began to hate yourself. I knew what that could do to you and I didn't want Grace to have to go through that.The first four weeks had my heart crumbling actually. She was always zoning out, always overthinking, always seemed distant and uninterested in everything that was happening around her. I guess that was her method of dealing with the pain
How We End Chapter 59
Chapter 59{ G R A C E }The death of my father hadn't been easy to get by but I decided to put a lot of effort to try. To try not to let the sadness I felt overshadow every other emotion inside me. To try not to make it hard for the people who put in everything to make sure I healed. To try to forgive myself, cause something told me that was what my father would've wanted.He would've wanted me to be at peace with myself.And that was exactly what I was trying to do.Weeks continued to pass by, all in a blur. I buried myself in school work and more on the novel I was working on. I read once that it was easier to get through grief by busying the mind, leaving no space whatsoever for overthinking. So, that was what I did the whole time. If I wasn't doing school work, I was writing my novel and if I wasn't writing my novel, I was doing chores

Chapter60It was nice having things a little bit the way they used to.During classes, I no longer sat by myself. I was back to having Kyle sitting next to me and saying the most annoying things. It was good having him back in my life again, to be honest. He also had a way of making sure I don't zone out and overthink, which was something I was grateful for because I tend to do that a lot and it takes a huge toll on my mood."Earth to Grace?" Kyle snapped his fingers in my face.I aggressively shoved his hands away, "Are you crazy?""You zoned out again." He held his hands up in surrender."I did not." I folded my arms, looking at the professor."What was the last thing I said, then?" He gave a pointed look."The only thing you ever say…" I batted my lashes. "Trash."He pla
