Twisted (Bo sinclair, house of wax)

chapter 10 pt 2

Vincent 's pov 

Gracie and I watch Bo chase lester. All of a sudden, Gracie lets go of my hand and runs after them. I instantly take off after her when all suddenly, a car comes out of nowhere and barreling towards Gracie's direction. At that moment, my heart literally stops beating an my body grows ice cold.

"GRACIE!! NOOO!!" Bo screams. 

Luckily, the driver hears Bo and manages to swerve out of the way just in time to miss her.  My brothers and I hurry over to Gracie at the same time and Bo swoops her imto his arms protectively and Gracie clings to him, sobbing. I rub her back soothingly, feeling utter relief that she's alive. Gracie may not be our blood sister but we love her as such.

"Oh my goodness! Is she okay?" 

we turn around to see Billy running over to where the four of us were standing. "

"Y-yeah shes fine, j-just sh-shook up." Bo replies shakily, he was crying as well. we all were. 

"I'm so so so sorry! I didn't see her until the last second! I would never-"

"It's okay, Billy.  Vincent was the one who let her run into the street in the first place." Bo says accusingly. I shake my head vigourously.

"Not....so." I try to defend myself, but Bo ignores me.

Billy apologises profuely one more time before leaving. The three of us continue our route to school once again. It was silent. Gracie was glaring at lester and seemed upset at him for some reason. Bo clearly still bent on blaming me for what almost happened  to Gracie, and I'm angry at Bo for blaming me. He's the true culprit. He was the one who started to chase Lester around. Gracie went after him, and I didn't know she as gonna do that. Bo carries Gracie all the way to school. 

When we arrive he's reluctant to let her go.Lester tries to grab Gracie's hand like he always does to walk her to her classroom, and she refuses and clings to Bo's waist.

 "NO!" she pouts. 

"come on Gracie, yo dont wanna be late, do you?" Lester asks. He tries to hold her hand again but she pushes him away. 

"Leave me alone cheesehead!" she yells, surprising us. Gracie is a very happy little girl she is aleays well behaved and rarely acts out. She's clearly still shaken up from the incident  We all are.  

"Why are you mad at me, Gracie? what did I do?" Lester asks sadly, kneeling down in front of Gracie. Gracie glares at him.

"You said Cassie kissed Bo. She did not!" That's a lie! Lying is mean! she yells again. Lester looks up at Bo and me. We all understood. She was jealous. We know how attached she is to Bo.

" I was just joking around, Gracie. I'm sorry if I made you mad.He holds out his arms. 

"Friends?" he  asks, pouting his lower lip. Gracie hesitates for a moment but smiles and hugs him.

   We hug her and Lester as usual, and Bo glares at me when I hug Gracie. I hate when Bo is angry at me; because he is my best friend and also cause when Bo is angry, he can be scary. His whole demeanor changes and its like looking into the eyes of a complete stranger. He sometimes yells, but worst of all he's utterly silent. You can literally see his eyes freeze into ice.

We say goodbye to them and keep walking. I keep my distance from Bo, afraid he might lash out at any moment. Miracoulously, he makes it to school ithout exploding. We still have like five minutes before class starts.

Usually, we just talk with Ritchie and Cassie, but they had called yesterday to let us kow they wouldn't be joining us this morning cause they were going to be in a meeting for the pageant. They were going to be judges.
