- "DRIVE." gracie spoke the moment she closed the door to the passenger seat of the car. matt looked at her as did everyone else who was in that car.
they came in two separate cars because they knew they were not going to have enough space for all their groceries.
when gracie heard the name her mother always called her by, she froze on the spot, she didn't know whether to stay and listen to whatever bullshit excuse or ridiculousness that was going to come out of her mother's mouth or keep walking.
for some reason her feet couldn't move and her mouth felt clammy, as if she hadn't drunk water in days.
she thought she could stand her ground, but she forgot how much she loved herfamily. she hated herself for it but she still yearned for them to at least be proud of her.
maybe that's why her feet didn't move. maybe that's why she almost cried in the spot when her mom inched closer.
"say the word we'll leave right now." matt had told her quietly and gracie stopped looking at her mom for a second and met his eyes.
she was scared, he could see it.
gracie hesitated before she shook her head. matt didn't want to leave her but he knew she was going to make him wait in the car anyways. the others on the other hand didn't know what to do.
except ivy and jackson, who were dead-set on staying with her. marisa taylor was one of the most manipulatively nice people you could ever meet. she gave gracie so many empty promises to fall into and because of the younger girl's open heart she constantly wanted to believe they were true.
every time marisa taylor would break gracie's heart.
"i'll meet you guys in the car." she told the group and jackson scoffed. they didn't know what to do in the situation, they were just following ivy and jackson's lead.
"yeah as fucking if." ivy snorted and gracie sent the two of them a look. "grace—"
"please." gracie was almost pleading, and ivy was torn at the moment. she always had to deal with the aftermath of whatever jackson and gracie's parents did to them. all the wiping tears and hugs were from her.
gracie was finally breaking free and here marisa was again.
chris stepped up and grabbed her wrist softly, making ivy face him. she was annoyed with him but in that moment she knew that he was putting aside whatver was going on between them and was focused on whatver they thought was best for gracie.
"let her do this on her own." was all he said and she sent a look to jackson.
"c'mon let's wait in the car." he stated and the others followed in suit.
