Healing closed wounds

Part 14 - burnt toast

~ ALICES POV ~

Grayson let me stay home today because of what happened yesterday.

Im woken up again by the ringing of my phone. I reach for my phone and look at the contact above my screen.

'Eleanor' it reads.

I answer it. "Hi."

"Where are you?" She asks concerned.

I sigh, "things went down at home yesterday so I'm taking the day off." I sit up in my bed.

"Oh I'm sorry Aly.. do you want to talk about it?" She asks.

"Not really.. I'm sorry. I'll be there tomorrow okay?" I respond.

"That's okay don't be sorry. Rest up okay? I'll see you tomorrow." She says before hanging up.

I sigh putting my phone down. I slowly get out of bed and into my washroom. I grab my tooth brush and begin brushing my teeth.

Tomorrow is Friday so I'm hoping the dinner with the Murphys isnt tomorrow. I still need to recover from what happened yesterday.

After brushing my teeth I wash my face and put on moisturizer. I fix my hair before leaving the washroom to change out of my pjs.

Grabbing a baby tee and sweat pants, I put them on and then grab my phone to check the time. It's 10 o'clock so I should probably go downstairs to eat.

I'm about to leave my room when I stop. What if dads home? He can't be home Grayson wouldn't let that happen..

As if someone heard my thoughts, I hear a knock on my bedroom door and I can tell it's Grayson.

I open it and look up at him. "You can come down and eat. He's not here." He places his hand on my back as we walk downstairs.

As we walk I can smell the French toast coming from the kitchen. "Is Harper here?" I ask softly as we walk to the kitchen.

Grayson smiles. "She is." We walk into the kitchen and I can see Harper cooking.

When she turns around and sees me she smiles making me feel better inside. "harp go sit on at the table I'll finish up." Grayson kisses her before turning to the stove.

Harper walks up to me and pulls me into a hug. "I know you don't want to talk about it so let's sit down and watch Gray burn the toast." I laugh as we walk to the table.

"I'm not going to burn the toast." Grayson says defensively.

I laugh sitting down beside Harper as we watch Grayson cook. "Honey you have to flip it now."

Grayson looks at her. "I know."

"Sure you did." I add making him glare at me.

Once Graysons done he brings the food to the table and sits down. "You did burn it!" Harper laughs picking up one piece of burnt toast.

"No that one was yours!" We all laugh when he tries blaming it on everything but him.

After eating a little bit I hesitantly ask a question.

"Gray when are we going over to the Murphys?" I look up at him.

"Saturday." He reply's. "Is that okay with you? I can reschedule if not." He reassures

I shake my head. "No it's fine I just wasn't sure what day we were seeing them."

"Are you coming?" I turn to Harper and she smiles.
"Yes I'm coming too." I smile back.
