*GRACE'S POV*

By the time the movie was over, Eleanor and I were walking out the doors laughing our bums off, getting stares from people around us. We just shook our heads and walked to Eleanor's car across the street.

"Pitch Perfect was so funny!" Eleanor giggled, buckling her seatbelt and starting the car, blasting the heat.

I nodded, agreeing. "I know! 'Woop, there it is!'" I quoted, laughing so hard a migrane was coming on.

"I'm gonna pitch slap you so hard, your manboobs are gonna concave!" Eleanor quoted back, laughing.

I finally calmed down from my laughing high, "Pay attention to the road." I scolded Eleanor who was looking down at her phone.

"Sorry!" She laughed, dropping her iPhone onto her lap. Her phone dinged and she handed it to me, "Text Louis and tell him we'll stop by."

I took the phone phone from her hand and nodded, doing as told.

Finally arriving at the boys' flat, I skipped to the door and knocked on it viciously. "Open up!" I yelled, laughing shortly after. Somehow, I was in the best mood ever and I loved it. I felt like a little kid again.

"Just walk in." Eleanor told me, walking up the steps to the porch.

I twisted the doorknob, opening the door. I walked in, turning my attention to the living room. My laughter immediately stopped. "Oh, I'm sorry!" I said, staring at the scene in front of me.

Harry pulled back, his lips red and swollen. "Oh hi, Grace....and Eleanor." He said, awkwardly.

"Who are they?" The girl that was snogging Harry asked.

I examined her. She had bleach blonde hair and her face was caked with makeup. She didn't look pretty at all in her short little black dress with stripper heels. Harry obviously brought her back because she was easy. She wouldn't last long. Wait...what? Was I jealous? No, I couldn't be jealous. I was with Zayn and I didn't have feelings for Harry. I was just being protective over him. You know, like best friends do.

Harry cleared his throat, "Oh, they're my friends." He said, looking at Eleanor and I.

"Where are the boys?" Eleanor asked.

"They're outside playing football." He motioned to the back yard.

She nodded and started walking. Harry and I held contact for a few seconds before it was interrupted, "Grace, aren't you coming?"

My eyes moved to Eleanor, "Yeah." I said, avoiding Harry and the unknown girl.

Once we were outside, Louis shouted, "Babe!" He started running over to Eleanor and attacked her with kisses. I just laughed at how cute they were.

Before I knew it, arms were around my waist. "I've missed you." Zayn's soft voice whispered in my ear, kissing me cheek.

My cheeks started burning by blushing too much and I smiled, "I've missed you too." I said, turning around in his arms and kissing him softly on the lips.

"Hello? We're in the middle of a came here." Niall joked, holding the soccer ball in his hands.

I laughed, "Sorry, we'll let you boys get back to your game." I said, referring to Eleanor and I.

As I tried to walk away, Zayn pulled me back to him. "No, don't leave me!" He said. Gosh, he was adorable.

I laughed, "I'll be sitting right over there." I said, pointing to the two chairs by the patio.

Zayn whined and I laughed, "You're such a baby sometimes." I said, running my fingers through his hair.

"But, I'm your baby." He said, smirking.I giggled.

"I really need to get a girlfriend...." I heard Niall mutter.

I walked over him and poked his nose, "Awh, you'll find someone." I told him with a pout.

"Okay, let's go back to our game!" Louis hollered, making me sit next to Eleanor in the lawn chair.

Throughout the game, Eleanor and I made girl talk. Mostly talking about shopping and which celebrity we found hot. Mine was Justin Bieber, always.

The sliding glass door opened, revealing Harry and the blonde girl. She noticed us staring and smiled fakely at us, "Hi, I'm Zoey." She said, sticking her hand out.

"I'm Eleanor and this is Grace." Eleanor greeted, shaking her hand politely. I just smiled and shook her hand as well.

"So, which boy are you dating?" She asked us, putting her hand on her hip.

"I'm with Louis." El said.

"And I'm with Zayn." I smiled, watching Zayn kick the ball around.

Zoey just nodded. "So are yoy and Harry.....?" Eleanor asked.

Zoey shook her head, "Oh no!" She laughed. Her laugh was high pitched and really annoying. "We just met."

Eleanor and I nodded, dropping the situation.

Harry came back, handing Zoey a beer. "Well, we're off. Nice meet you both." She said, again smiling her fake smile.

"You too." Eleanor and I said nicely.

Once they disappeared inside, we rolled our eyes and burst out laughing. "Can you say fake?" Eleanor joked, causing me to laugh even more.

There was just something about Zoey I didn't like. Maybe it was her attitude, I had no idea. I just knew I wasn't going to like her. But why should I care? It's not my business.

Suddenly, my ringtone blared, interrupting my thoughts. I grabbed my phone from beside me and answered it, not bothering to check the caller ID. "Hello?" I spoke into the phone.

"Hello, is the Grace Taylor?" The woman asked.

"Yes..." I said calmly.

"Hi, this is Sherry from St. Mary's Medical Hospital. I am calling you to let you know your parents, Greg and Stacy Taylor have been in a car accident."

My heart dropped. My parents...in a car accident. It couldn't be. No.

"A-Are they all right?" I asked, my voice cracking as my eyes filled with tears. Eleanor looked at me, her eyes full of concern.

"I think it's best if you come down here immediately." The girl said calmly.

"Okay." I said, ending the call.

Tears immediately left my eyes. "Grace, what's wrong?" Eleanor asked, putting her hand on my leg. That cause Louis, Niall, Liam, and Zayn to stop what they were doing and pay attention to me.

I couldn't speak, let alone breath. Tears just kept coming and I sobbed, "M-My parents....got in a c-car accident!" I cried out.

Eleanor looked at the boys, "I'll drive." Louis said, rushing inside.

Zayn lifted me up bridal style and I wrapped my arms around his neck, crying into his chest. "Everything will be okay, Grace." He said.

What if it isn't?
