Come back to me-Gracie Abrams

chapter 8

Scarlets POV-

I woke up to being gently shaken so I opened my eyes confused and then I saw gracie.

"I didn't want to wake you but someone is knocking on your door. I didn't know if I should get it or not." she said softly.

I nodded and then got up and stretched but then I turned around and looked at Gracie lying down. It reminded me of us waking up together everyday, I missed seeing her there.

"what?" she said with a smile.

"nothing, can you hand me the lil blanket it's cold." I said laughing.

she picked it up and threw it at me and I wrapped it around myself and walked out to the living room closing the door.

They kept knocking.

"i'm coming!" I said annoyed.

I looked through my peek hole and saw Finley, Sabrina, and Mia. Shit.

I opened the door and they all walked in.

"Finally! we've been knocking for like 5 minutes. Did you just wake up?" Sabrina asks.

"yup, I couldn't really sleep last night." I said closing the door.

"wait who's heels are those? omg do you have someone over?" Finley asked.

Fuck you finley.

"oh my god. do we know her?" Mia asked.

I looked down scratching the back of my head.

"um yeah, gracie is here." I said looking up at them.

"what!" they all shouted at the same time.

I put my hand over Sabrina and Mias mouth and glared at finley.

"seriously? she definitely heard that." I said rolling my eyes.

"what the hell is she doing here?" Sabrina whispered.

"we went out together last night after her show, it was nothing serious i'm surprised you guys didn't see anything on social media. We were both drunk and I didn't want her to be home alone so I asked her to stay here." I said.

"But like i'm confused. How did this even happen and what the heck why didn't we know? Going to her show and shit." Mia said flicking me on my head.

"ow you fucker!" I said rubbing my head.

"explain now." mia said.

"i'll explain everything later or something. she's still here and-"

"oh good let mia and I give her a piece of our minds." Sabrina said walking to my room.

I ran in front of her before she reached my door.

"yeah no lets not do this right now." I said standing there.

Somehow she opened the door from under me and Gracie turned around putting her jacket on as we all stood there.

"you have a lot of nerve just thinking you can come back into her life after how you left her." Sabrina said pointing at her.

"yeah honestly what the fuck is your problem?" Mia said.

Gracie stared at me not saying anything.

"no. look at us not her. did you know that she was crying for two months straight? she never left her bed we were worried sick about her while you were off with your new little side piece. We had to come and check on her almost everyday just to make sure she at least had something in her system. if it wasn't for us she would have starved herself to death loving you. you're such a bitch." Sabrina yelled.

"Sabrina! enough! don't yell at her like that." I said.

Gracie then ran out of the room looking down and I heard the front door close.

"fuck!" I yelled.

I put some shoes on and I ran out of my apartment. I saw her standing outside on her phone calling someone.

"Gracie." I said quietly making her turn around.

She hung up the phone and just looked at me. She had tears in her eyes.

"i'm so sorry that she yelled at you. you didn't deserve that." I said.

"No I did. I had no idea that it was that bad scarlet and i'm so sorry." she said taking a deep breath in.

She began to cry so I hugged her.

"i'm starting to forgive you gracie. we all make mistakes but you're trying so hard to fix this so I know you care and thats all that matters." I said whispering in her ear.

she backed away and I wiped her tears.

"okay im sorry for crying." she said.

"stop apologizing gracie I promise everything is gonna be okay." I said smiling at her.

she nodded and smiled back and then we heard a beep.

"I called taylor to come pick me up since she wasn't far away but please call or text." she said.

"I will don't worry. get home safely." I said hugging her.

I walked over to Taylors car and opened the door for her.

"hey scar" taylor said smiling and waving.

"hey taylor, thank you for picking her up." I said smiling.

"no problem." she said smiling.

I gave gracie one last hug and then closed the door and watched as they drove away.

I lost my smile and made my way back up to my apartment. When I walked in they were all sitting on my couch. I took my shoes off and my jacket without looking at any of them.

"Scar i'm sorry." Sabrina said standing up.

I took a deep breath in and looked at her.

"why did you do that? why would you go and tell her those things?" I said with a serious tone.

"okay thats not fair scarlet. How else were we supposed to react when the girl that literally broke our bestfriend was right in front of our face? we're obviously angry with her." Mia said.

"Trust me I know you guys are angry with her. I was too, a lot. Especially because it happened to me but her and I have talked so much about everything and we've been seeing each other more trying to fix things. This is exactly why I never told you guys because I knew this is how'd you react." I said raising my voice looking at them.

They stayed quiet looking down.

"No offense guys but even I didn't say anything. I trust scarlet and what she's doing and so should you guys. It's true, they have been meeting and talking a lot and the chemistry is still there. I don't blame you guys for being angry with gracie. I think everyone in this room has been angry with her but you didn't need to just corner her in a room and yell at her. Regardless of your guys feelings towards her, it was wrong." Finley said.

I looked at him and nodded as a thank you and he smiled.

"okay he's right. we just need to trust that you know what you're doing but we just care a lot about you and we don't want to see you hurt by her again." Sabrina said softly.

"we love you more than anything so we'll kinda let it go but if she hurts you again fist will be thrown instead, got it?" Mia said.

I rolled my eyes and then they all hugged me laughing.
