I KNOW THE END - Gracie Abrams

18. SAVE ME

"Oh my gosh Ivy!" Gracie sad up in bed. It's been a couple months since Cinci and the US leg of the tour is over. "What?!" I questioned at her sudden burst.

"My parents are in town!" She beamed. "Aw that's great!" I smiled. "They said they want to meet you!" She revealed.

I am not a people person whatsoever but I know how much it means to gracie i meet her parents. I already know im just gonna fuck it up. So I reply "that's amazing!!" through my gritted teeth.

"Well i think it's only fitting you get to meet mine since I got to meet yours" she recalled. "Oh yeah" I laughed awkwardly trying to play it off. Please Gracie talk about something else literally anything else.

I hate dinners with important people I look up to. Point in case my first dinner with Gracie. Actually that's a bad point because of the ending but STILL.

    "Who are you talking to?" Gray asked breaking the incredible silence. "Jenna" I stated trying to breathe. "Oh okay" she said returning to scrolling on her phone.

     "Are you okay?" She paused again after only a few seconds. "Yep fine, cool as a cucumber, haha" i laughed. "Uh oh okay"

So I need help..

Yes ivy??

I missed you!!

We haven't talked in a while xx

Oh i know I miss you too

I'm going to come over soon I promise

I need to see you

Oh please do!

So you're in a stable adult
relationship right?

Yes..?

So last night Gracie informed me
this week her parents
are expecting to meet me

How does one meet someone's parents??

Where do I even start 😭

Probably from the part
where you first see the parents

Ok so I really don't know how to
walk someone through the process but
I can give you tips?

YES PLEASE ANYTHING WILL HELP

First of all you need to tell Gracie
your nervous because it will
help to getting some more details
on specifics on her parents

Ok ok what else

Compliment her mother no matter what

Alr i got it

Dress EXTREMELY modest doesn't matter
how feminist her parents are

Mhm

Keep your phone AWAY

Don't just stay off of it keep it
out of sight

Gotcha

No matter what don't lie about anything

It always comes back

Okay!

And yeah that's it

Please don't continue
working yourself up about this Ives

Well I know you so I know you will

But only a healthy amount, please? xx

Of course xx

I love youu

I love you too!!

Good luck vee!!

Thank you daya 😘😘

    "Gracie?" I called from the bathroom of her apartment. "Yeah?" She answered. "Where are you?" I wondered. "Kitchen!" She replied.

    "What's up?" She asked once i entered the room. "Not gonna lie Ive been freaking out about meeting your parents" I admitted.

    "Aw baby if you're really worried you don't have to if it's too soon," she soothed. "No gracie i do! Im just scared there going to hate me" i elaborated. "Ivy nooo, they will love you, but hey!after i finish making us lunch I can tell you some stuff about them and give you advice on what will help?" She suggested. "Yes please do!" I begged

    "Are you sure you're ready to meet them because it's totall-" She started but I cut her off. I pressed my lips against her in order to stop the end of the sentence. "I want to meet your parents."
