Chapter 7

Michaels P.O.V

I don't know how much longer I can keep my eyes open. And everytime the vision gets blurry I think of her. Like I need to be there for her now or I feel guilty. Once I know what's happening it will be easy to comfort her...I think.

4:17am
Grace: okay who's going first. I hope im not keeping your up or anything. x

4:18am
Michael: no your not don't worry. And you are because I asked you XD x

4:19am
Grace: idk if I can. Please please don't judge this is really scary.

4:20am
Michael: why are you so scared I would never judge you I promise. Everything you tell me will be a secret between us. I swear on Correy Taylers life ;) x

4:22am
Grace: hslsldmdkxknsskdnd okay fine. But this is gonna be very long so Yeh.

I didn't want to force her into doing anything she didn't feel like doing. She was really scared and even without being neer her to witness it, it was easy to tell.

4:27am
Grace: people don't like how I dress or the music I listen to. So for about 4 years people have been calling me names. I have been beaten up on various occasions and I sexually harassed in a parking lot last week. My brother died the night I started talking to you, and when we were talking and I didn't reply, my dad went rage. He told my mum he didn't love her and through a glass at her then left. I haven't seen him since and he won't reply to my messages. My mother won't leave my dads old study and I've been living off cereal and pizza.

I didn't think it was that bad. I felt so guilty for asking. She wasn't a happy radiant girl i thought she was. And I didn't think she meant it when she said she had no friends. And sexually harassed??!!

Graces P.O.V

I felt myself getting angry again. It felt good to tell him what was hapening, but I was mad. At that moment my phone lit up in my hand.

12:28pm
Michael: im really sorry :( . If I was there with you right now I would hug you so tight and take you to a chineese restaurant :D x

I could feel a large grin grow across my face. It felt good to know someone that cared.

"GRACE!" My mum yelled.

I rapidly typed 'that would be great :D brb x' and ran downstairs.

"Is everything okay mum" i asked calmly.

"Why the fuck aren't you at school?" She started into my eyes lighting a ciggerette.

"Dad called the school and tol-"

"THE FUCKING TWAT! GET YOUR STUFF READY YOUR GOING TO SCHOOL TOMORROW!" She screamed shoving the box of ciggerettes behind the drinks cabinet.

I had never been so scared of anyone in my life. I was now more frightened of my mother than I was of Ashton.

12:33pm
Grace: hey im back :) x

12:34pm
Michael: cool, everything okay? x

12:35pm
Grace: yup nothing to worry about :D now it's your turn. x

12:37pm
Michael: oh yeh, well there's nothing interesting really. My fringe is too long, I have two friends, one looks Asian and the other looks like a sissy. I don't talk to either one of my parents much and I'm in a band :D x

12:38pm
Grace: that's rad! I've always wanted to be in a band but im not in any way musical. You must be pretty good :D x

12:40pm
Michael: nah we suck XD x

12:41pm
Grace: I haven't heard you so I really can't say anything. But can i hear? :))))))) xxxxx

12:42pm
Michael: nope the rest of my band aren't here and I suck at guitar and vocals. :(

12:43pm
Grace: pretty pretty pretty please with cherries on top. :))))

12:50pm
Michael: *video recieved*

I pressed down on the video to view and an angelic looking boy with an acoustic guitar popped up.
"Um hi Grace yes this is Michael i recorded this for you so yeh." *sings lucky by Jason Mraz*

My heart was racing and I couldn't stop blushing. He was so adorable and he got bright red towards the end.

"So yeh kay, at least you know im not a 90 year old man" he giggled and the video ended. His voice was so relaxing and I loved it.

12:53pm
Grace: you are such a lier!!!!!! GOD YOU SING SO GOOD!! X

12:54pm
Michael: sure your not just saying that? X

12:54pm
Grace: fucking better than Green Day!!!! XD x

12:55pm
Michael: thanks babe that means a lot XD x

Holy shit he just called me babe. I don't think I'm reading correctly. SHIT HE JUST CALLED ME BABE!!!

12:56pm
Michael: I gotta go but I'll text you later? :) x

12:57pm
Grace: yes okay byeeee :D x

I didn't think anyone could ever make me this happy. Probably because I've never experienced this amount of happiness. I really liked him. Like I really really liked him. I think I'm in love with him?
