Letters To Them

Chapter 59

Nash's POV:

Everyone goes to do their own thing. I stay in the kitchen just thinking. Shawn and I haven't really spoken much since our argument. 'Shawn,' I call. He comes down. 'Yah,' he asks, cautiously? 'I'm sorry,' I say. He looks confused. 'For that night in the hospital. I was a jerk,' I say. 'I'm sorry too,' he says. I step forward and we bro hug.

'Aw,' Grace says walking in, 'y'all are cute. Nawn I ship it.' She goes to walk upstairs. 'Wait,' Shawn calls out. She turns and comes back down. 'Where were you,' I ask? 'I told y'all earlier. I was at a meeting,' she says. She turns and runs upstairs. Seconds later she appears with a guitar?

Shawn's POV:

Grace comes back down carrying a guitar. She goes through the backdoor out to the balcony. She sits down and starts strumming some chords. Then she starts singing.

Graces POV:

*Singing*

When your legs don't work like they used to before
And I can't sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?

And, darling, I will be loving you 'til we're 70
And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Well, me - I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am

So honey now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are

Nash's POV:

Holy shit that girl can sing. Shawn is the only one that doesn't look surprised. Everyone stands at the door watching her. I notice she's starting to tear up.

Gilinsky's POV:

Damn. She's good. She puts so much emotion into her singing. It's amazing.

Shawn's POV:

Grace finishes singing and puts down her guitar. She turns away from us and just looks out over the city. I see her wipe her eyes and realise she's crying. I look at the guys and they shrug. 'You go,' Nash tells me. I give him a look. 'She's closest to you and Cameron,' he says.

I go over to her and everyone else walks off. 'Hey baby what's wrong,' I ask? She turns to me. I sit down next to her and she leans on my shoulder. 'I miss him,' she says sadly. I suddenly realise she's talking about Cameron. Who else?

'I miss him too,' I say wrapping my arm around her. I pull her closer as she sobs. She puts her head in the crook of my neck and I kiss the top of her head. This small gesture, pains my heart. I hate that I can't call her mine.

'Why does everything bad happen to me,' she mumbles? I don't know how to respond. She looks up at me sadly. I notice her eyes flicker to my lips and back. Did I just imagine it?

I watch her, taking in all of her beautiful features. She reaches up and I feel her soft lips on mine. I kiss back. Stop Shawn. She's just missing Cam. She's heartbroken. I pull away. 'I- we can't do this,' I say, heartbroken. She looks upset. I stand up. 'I'm sorry Grace. But you belong with Cam,' I say before going inside.

Grace's POV:

I just kissed Shawn. Shit.
