You drew stars around my scars
But now I'm bleedin

Gracie, Amerie and Taylor sat in the living room of the cottage they had rented in the UK.

"Honestly thank you for inviting me to perform Us tonight" Gracie spoke softly.

"I'm glad you could make it, especially with planning for the secret of us tour. I'm incredibly proud of you Gracie, you are one of my favourite artists" Taylor praised.

"Thank you. Oh Amerie how are you?" Gracie asked.

"I'm good" Amerie shrugged.

"You've been rather quiet" Gracie questioned.

"I'm always quiet" Amerie said shyly.

"Amerie it's only Gracie" Taylor chuckled.

"I know, I just don't want to disturb your conversation or be annoying" Amerie replied.

"You're not annoying or disturbing our conversation" Taylor said.

"Well according to most people I am annoying, but any ways. I'm bored so I'll be in my room wallowing in a pit of nothing" Amerie chuckled.

"Amerie... hey.. who's been calling you annoying" Taylor said reaching to hold Amerie's hand.

"It's nothing really just some silly thoughts" Amerie stated.

"It's clearly not nothing if it's upset you" Taylor said worryingly.

"If you want to just tell your Mom I can leave the room" Gracie asked.

"No it's fine" Amerie mumbled.

"Amerie come sit down" Taylor said patting the space next to her.

"No, I'd rather just tell Gracie" Amerie sighed.

"That's okay." Taylor said trying to cover up the touch of sadness she had over her daughter not wanting to confide in her. But she was glad that she could find comfort in Gracie and want to speak to her.

Amerie led Gracie into her bedroom and shut the door so her Mom couldn't listen in.

"What's wrong?" Gracie asked worried.

"Well this girl Nessa I used to be friends with, erm she's been making posts about me. Sharing personal things... videos.. not good videos but embarrassing ones.. and mugshots... commenting on how weird I am and annoying and sharing fake stories.." Amerie said trying not to cry.

"Nessa the one you used to be friends with? The one who commented on your autism?" Gracie asked.

"Yep that's the one" Amerie sighed.

"Come on" Gracie said.

"Where we going" Amerie asked.

"To show your Mom the posts" Gracie sighed.

"What No! You can't she will get to over protective and will ban me from social media!" Amerie defended.

"Amerie, she's your Mom she had a right to know and protect you, and she won't ban you from social media because this isn't your fault. Her and Tree will be able to sort this and stop the rumours, trust me. Some things can't be solved on your own, always tell an adult, even if it's me, your Mom, or your aunt Blake." Gracie reassured.

"Okay" Amerie said taking a deep breath.

"Good, and if you show your Mom I'll give you all my signed albums" Gracie bribed.
