Grace- i love it
The 2 girls hugged and both went off from the ward to there different schools

School was hard everything didn't feel right it was her first time back without James and to be honest i just wanted to go home I literally walked into the school with Lucas ,and ken and then i heard a voice ,Libby
Libby- I'm sorry for you lost
Grace-tha
Libby- i was not finished, I'm sorry for your loss runaway
Grace- my friend died Libby so do me a favour and leave me alone for the day
Libby- but who else am I supposed to bully James was a freak like you
Ryan- first your dad leaves you then James does and don't forget Tyler left you as well and so did your mum
Grace- for your information me and Tyler are fine now and my dad never left me i was took away from him but how dare you say that
Libby- we only say the truth none loves you grace
Lucas- i love her so shut it you to
Libby- Lucas you know she doesn't belong here
Grace- ye your right Libby
Lucas- grace
Grace- shut up Lucas you became rich when you were 6 so i know you try and act like you get it nut you were to young to
Libby- trouble in paradise
Lucas- shut it Libby , grace I'm sorry
Grace- Lucas I can't do this anymore I've gotta
Libby-run away from your problems
Grace- not all of them cause its pretty hard to run away from cancer
And with that grace ran and she ran out of the school and she carried on running till she got to a park and she ran into the park and a tree and then collapsed tears dripping down her face but thankfully she wasn't alone she two recognised a voice in the background one Lucas and one Tyler this was a few minutes later after she got there
Lucas- grace can we talk what's going on
Lucas came over and tried to comfort grace but she moved away before he could her anxiety was playing up
Lucas- grace please
Grace- I can't do this right now i need you to go
Lucas-fine then you, you freak Libby was
Grace- you've just proved my point
Lucas- i didn't mean it
Grace- you think cause your rich you can say what you want you think ill tell you all my problems but that's all aloud of bull shit
Tyler stood there knowing his sister was strong
Lucas -fine ill go, but I'm sorry
Lucas slowly walked back to school feeling a lost of identity while Tyler went and sat next to his Sister who felt broken in every way shape and form
Tyler - you should really join a running team
Grace- I know
Both sat there giggling a little then silence fell again few minutes passed then it was broken
Grace- do you recon he can see what's happening
Tyler-James
Grace- yeah James
Tyler- if he can he will be right now questioning why you didn't hit her or that might be me to
Grace- I wanted to , I really wanted to but i just couldn't
Tyler- she's been horrible to you and you never react you just don't give a shit why
Grace - there's a good answer to that
Tyler- teak me
Grace- it's always been the same in Liverpool when i reacted i just got in trouble and got sick with my anxiety coming here I could be the person without the anxiety but i became someone else
