I walk into the church with my head down not wanting to know who is there and hoping they don't see me either. We sit at the front and I could see there caskets they were opening so I could see there faces. I felt angry and sad but most of all regret why couldnt I be the daughter they wanted why did they do that stuff to me. I grabbed Noah's hand
Noah- your ok
Grace- mhm
They do the ceremony it was basically just them talking about here lives and how much we are all going to miss them. Once it was over we were given the chance to go up and see them one last time so I went up. I went over to my mum first. I felt a few tears fall for my eyes
Grace- I am sorry
I kissed her head and went over to my dad. I had only anger towards him and everything he did to me. I started punching him and crying
Grace- I HATE YOU
Man- whoa whoa whoa baby girl
He wrapped his arms around me I could not for get who it was
Grace- w-what are you d-doing h-here
Man- your dad would have wanted me here
Grace-LET GO OF ME
Man- you need to relearn how to respect me and your dad
Grace- he's gone
Man- and whose fault is that
I look down
Man- exactly it's your fault
Then Noah comes over
Noah- hey who are you
Man- Mike a good friend of your dad and who are you
Noah- I am Noah his son
Mike- nice to meet you
Noah- you can let her go now
By this point all of the damelios had came over
Mike- sorry she's mine now
Grace- w-what no I am not
Mike- your parents left me in custody when they died
Noah- sorry but she is best with me at the moment plus I am related to her
Mike- that's not what the papers say
Dixie- with all your respect she is better being with her brother someone who she actually knows
Mike- aww that's so cute sweetheart but she is mine now
Noah- don't speak to her like that and let her go
Mike- she's mine now on paper
Grace- Noah don't let him take me please I am sorry for being a pain please don't let him take me I'll stop
I start crying
Noah- it's ok grace you are not going anywhere
Mike- she is coming with me let's go
He started to pull me Noah was trying to grab me but he couldn't I was fighting his grip. When he opened the door I finally got out of his grip and started running he chased after me for a while and Noah came running after me as well. Mike stopped after awhile he was kind of fat so he couldn't really keep up.I was running and crying and I got to a bridge and sat in the edge contemplating weather to jump off or not as much as I want to I don't know if I can bring myself too. I can't live with Mike he did things to me and I can't go through that again. Then I heard Noah's voice
Noah- grace come down your ok we can talk about it
Grace- no Noah I can live with him
Noah- I know and you don't have to
Grace- Noah they are going to make me
I am crying at this point
Grace- Noah he hurt me
Noah- I know I am sorry I won't let him near you
Grace- you can't stop him
Noah- yes I can
Grace- I can't do this
Dixie- grace look at me
I look at her
Dixie- someone hurt me too once and now look at me I have a wonderful boyfriend and an amazing family and I am ok it will be ok we are all here to help you
Grace- no no I can't I don't want to
I was looking away from Noah and he was coming up behind me without me realising so he grabs me and pins me to the floor to make sure I don't try and jump off
Grace- NO LET ME GO PLEASE
Noah- your ok I've got you
I am trying to fight him but he doesn't let me go he is a lot stronger then me
Grace- please Noah let me go
I am still fighting but it is not as strong as it was before
Noah- grace if I let you go they have won you can't let them win you have to keep fighting
Grace- I can't
Noah- yes you can I know you can
I am not just lying there with tears dripping down my face not fighting but he is still holding my wrists. He lets go off me and brings me into a hug
Noah- I love you and no one is taking you from me
Grace- you promise
Noah- ofc
I look at everyone else And get embarrassed
Grace- they are all looking at me
Noah- it's cus they care
Grace- I am embarrassed
Noah- there is not reason to be they don't care they just want the best for you
I just nod
Noah- come on let's go over to them
Grace- can you carry me
Noah- of course
He picks me up and I rest my head in his shoulder and then we walk over to them. I felt someone rubbing my back
Heidi- you ok sweetheart
I just push my head closer to Noah
Noah- come on let's go back home
I fall asleep I Noah's arms on the way back I didn't realise how far I had actually ran but.

Noah's pov-
I was carrying grace back to the car and noticed she was asleep. I have no idea how I am going to deal with this cus technically she belongs to that guy but I am blood related so surely they can't take her away from me
Noah- mr damelio
Marc- yeah
Noah- he can't take her can he
Marc- as much as I don't want him to he has all the authority to. You need to take the whole thing to court and get legal custody of her
Noah- w-what that means he can take her today
Marc- yes, but we will do what ever we can to prevent him from
Noah- ok
We got to the car and I put her in and kissed her head
Noah- everything is going to be ok I've got you and I love you so much
I whisper that to here I know she can't hear me but I still mean it and I want her to know that. I get in the car and Dixie holds my hand
Noah- thanks for distracting her
Dixie- it's ok
Noah- I am sorry that happened to you
I kissed her head and brought her in closer to me
Dixie- it's ok I am ok now I have an amazing boyfriend and a great family
Noah- I love you so much
Dixie- I love you too
Then I heard screaming
Grace- OWW NO IT HURTS PLEASE ILL DO ANYTHING
I undo my seatbelt and go over to her while Dixie asks the driver to stop the car
Noah- your ok baby it's just a dream I am here your ok
I have picked her up and am now holding her rocking her back and forward trying to get her to wake up
Grace- NO DONT NO PLEASE DONT
she suddenly sits up and her breathing is chaotic
Noah- your ok breathe in breathe out
Grace- no it's not working
She says in between gasps
Noah- look at me
She looks at me and I put her hand on my chest
Noah- you feel my breathes
She nods her head
Noah- just keep following them
Eventually she calms down and she puts the head in my chest so I rub her back
Noah- good job

Graces pov-
This day as been awful one of the worst days of my whole life. Well that's probably a bit exaggerated I have had much worse days. I sat on Noah's lap the rest of the way back. We decide to go to Marc and Heidi's house and get something to eat
Noah- come on then
Grace- no can you carry me
Noah- yeah I got you come on
he picks me up and carries me inside
Grace- Rebel
He comes running over to me so Noah puts me down on the floor
Grace- aww he's so cute
He jumps up at me which knocks me to the ground. Then he starts licking my face and I am just laughing
Noah- come on
Noah pulls me out from underneath
Charli- let's watch a film
Dixie- ok
Noah- let's go
Heidi- me and your dad will order pizza
They go to the kitchen and we go sit on the couch. I lay on Noah's chest
Noah- you can't see the tv
Grace- I don't care
Noah- you sure
Grace- mhm
They start the movie I was just listening to it but then I feel asleep so I don't really know what happened I don't care though. I just don't want Noah to let go of me I don't want Mike to come near me and take me so I am holding onto Noah at all times
Heidi- pizza here guys
Noah carries me into the kitchen and places me on a chair
Grace- no no don't leave me
Noah- grace I am just going to sit on this chair
My breathing starts to increase
Noah- hey hey hey I am still here don't worry
He picks me up and places me on his lap and I just dig my head into his chest
Heidi- would you like some pizza grace
Grace- no thank you
Noah- you need to eat remember what I said
Grace- I know
Dixie- how about a slice of margarita
Grace- okay
They get me the pizza and I eat all of the slice except the crust but it was more then I would have eaten if they weren't all pressuring me
Noah- I am proud of you
Dixie- we all are
Charli- hey grace do you want to have a sleepover with me
Grace- can noah stay with me
Charli- uhm I mean I guess
Probably a bit weird that noah was going to be with me and charli but I don't want to leave him
Charli- how about you come to dix we can build a fort on the front room
Dixie- yeah ok
We go through to the front room and I think this is the first time I have fully separated myself from noah it was only a couple feet but I still felt unsafe. So I walked over to him and grabbed his hand
Noah- you ok
I just nod my head. We build the first and all get in. I laid on top of noah and made him promise not to let anyone take me and hold on to me as tight as he could. I closed my eyes and feel asleep while in the secureness of Noah's arms.
