~5 Months later~

Grace's POV.  

I've moved out of L.A and I am now in New York. I currently have a boyfriend named Josh, who I've been with for 3 months. 

But it doesnt mean I don't think of Hannah everyday...

We both live in a small apartment together.

Im surprised Hannah and Mamrie did as I said, they didn't try to contact me in any way.

..

Josh was gone to work, so I decided to go eat some chips. He doesn't let me eat any junk food, he says that im fat and that I need to lose weight..he was right. But I was really hungry and I didnt want to eat a fruit, I wanted to eat something that will fill me up.

So I head into the kitchen and open the covert, as I was about to grab the bag of chips I felt my phone ringing in my back pocket. I grab it and look at the I.D.....I can't believe it..

It was Mamrie..

I decided that I should answer, I mean I do miss her.. A lot.

Phone Call

G: Hello?

M: Grace!

G: Hey Mames..

M: I can't believe you picked up..

G: Well I miss you Mamrie..

M: I've missed you to.. Would you like to go out for coffee and catch up?

G: Umm...that's gonna be a little hard..

M: Why?

G: I live in New York..

M:Oh..Umm..

I cut her off

G: But im getting on a plane to L.A. tonight..

I know need to find an excuse and a ticket to go to L.A.

M: Oh that's perfect, I can go pick you up then?

G: Ya..

M: Ill see you tommorow!

G:ok...umm ya, Bye!

End of phone call.

I put my phone down and just think for a moment.

Im going back to L.A. tommorow..

Im going to see Mamrie..

Am I going to tell her?

Am I going to see Hannah?

I snap out of it, I head to the computer..

I find a flight at 5:40am so that means Ill land in L.A. at 10:40am. I text Mamrie telling her at what time ill land. I head into my room and start packing.

..

I hear Josh come in, I give him a hug and he kisses me passionately.

Nothing.

"Im leaving at 5:40am to catch a flight to L.A., It's for a project im working on and I don't kow how long Ill be staying.." I tell him quickly trying to avoid eye contact.

"Look at me" he says softly

I look up and I see him swing his arm, he punches me on the side of my mouth.

I fall to the ground, I can taste blood.. I let a tear fall.

"Get up!"

I get on my knees and get up and look at him straight in the eyes,

"Babe, im sorry" he says

I look down,

He pulls me in for a hug but I push him away, he punches me on the side of the stomach.

I gasp and bend over, clutching my stomach.

"Cancel that flight your not going!" He says before leaving the room.

Im on the floor, trying to not break into tears, cause I know that will be another bruise..

I pick up my phone and change my flight from 5:40am to 2:40am, because I know hell be up at 4:00 to see if im leaving. I text Mamrie the new hours.

..

Its now 1:00am and all my belongings and suitcases are in the cab waiting outside..

I was leaving him..

I was not gonna get hurt anymore!

I get in the cab and tell him to go to the airport.

About 30 minutes later we were at the airport, people came to help  me with my bags. I went through security faster than expected and head onto the plane. I sit at my seat, I make myself confortable. Then plane takes off and I fell into a deep sleep.

..

I was woken up from a women shaking me softly, I open my eyes and give her a tired smile.

I get off the plane and get all of my bags with the help of a few people, I head out of the airport and spot Mamrie..

My face brightens up and she starts to jog towards me, I hold out my arms and she comes crashing into my arms with tears of joy.

We stand there hugging each other for a few more moments. She pulls away and her face goes expression goes to sadness,

"Grace, what happened to the side of your mouth and lip?" She asks with concern

"It's actually a funny story, I was walking out of Starbucks and I wasnt looking and I hit a pole.." I say giving her a nervous laugh.

"hmm..alright" She says with confussion.

She looks behind me and back at me,

"How many days are you planning to stay?" She laughs

"Actually..I'm moving back to L.A..."

"Really! How come? No its not that im not happy its just what changed your mind?"

"Well I realized that New York wasn't the right place for me.."

"Ahh ok, well im happy your back!"

I give her a smile and I put all my bags in her car, I sit in the frontseat and we drive off to her place.

..

We get to her house and I just leave my bags in the car for later and head inside. I find a pillow and a blanket and stary setting myself on the couch, until Mamrie stops me,

"No, You were on a plane and I think you need a bed, you take my bed and anyways im wide awake, I don't need sleep"

"If you say so.." I say heading to her room

I place myself under the covers and get comfortable,

I fall asleep happy and feeling..
