The Mission (Jenna Ortega)

chapter 15

Tates POV-

I wake up with the sun in my face and on a couch i'm not familiar with.

"relax you're okay. You fell asleep after we came into my apartment." A voice says behind me.

I turn around and see a girl sitting at a coffee table with a mug on the table and her phone in her hand.

"Did you see who did this to me?" I say walking up to her.

"No I didn't but I did see a car drive away pretty fast and I stayed with you until you woke up." she says.

"Why didn't you call the cops or anything?" I say.

This just didn't make any sense.

"Because I know who you are and I knew you'd pull through. I know a few punches won't keep you down. I'm gracie abrams, friends with olivia." she says.

"Okay, this makes more sense now at least. Thank you for staying with me and bringing me into your home." I say.

She smiles at me.

"no problem. Wanna go down to this cafe down the street?" she says.

"yeah I could use some food right now." I say smiling.

———-Time skip

"You're such a dork." Gracie says laughing.

"Me? no its you." I say laughing back.

Gracie was sweet and soft with me. She had this long brown hair and a cute smile.

"Hey what are you staring at me for?" she says smiling.

"You're pretty gracie thats why." I say.

She looks down smiling and takes a sip out of her smoothie.

"Thank you, so are you." she says

3 Days Later

Tates POV-
Gracie and I have been hanging out a lot. Although its been amazing, Jenna won't leave my mind as much as I want her to.

8pm.

"Hey wanna watch a movie loser." Gracie says

Gracie puts her head on my shoulder so I put my head on hers.

"Yes I guess so." I say in a jokingly way.

We ended up putting on Twilight, I've never watched it but I guess it's one of gracies favorite movies. It's an alright movie so far.

The movie ended and gracies head was on my lap.

"So did you like it?" She says.

She moves her head now looking up at me so I look down and smile at her.

"Yes it was a good movie and I can see why you like it. It kinda fits your vibe." I say.

She rolls her eyes at me.

We stood there for a couple seconds looking at each other smiling and then gracie put her hand over my neck and we both started leaning in.
We kissed but then I backed away.

"Gracie i'm sorry." I say softly against her lips.

"what's wrong? Did you not wanna kiss me?" She says.

"No I mean yes of course I wanted to kiss you but-" I say

"There's someone else right" She says.

"Gracie you're an amazing girl but yes there is." I say.
