Hey guys, I'm so sorry that I haven't been able to write lately and I have another huge test coming up soon so hopefully this chapter helps and then I'll try really hard to find time to update. Also sorry for any mistakes. So... sorry for the rant but on with the chapter.
I've been home for a day now. After telling my mom about my wings we pulled out the first aid kit and did our best to fix the broken bone. After that I went up to rest and let my broken wing heal, but all I could do was think of Max.
Is he still being beaten or is he lying on the dank floor staring blankly at a wall? I want so badly to go out and try to rescue him from his abusive father but I'm stuck on the ground until further notice.
I stare at my blank ceiling late into the night, all my attempts at sleep failing. Eventually I fell asleep when my thoughts had quieted and now it's morning. As I sit at the counter eating my breakfast of fresh berries and some cereal I hear the doorbell ring.
"I've got it mom," I yell while hopping up and running to the door. I open the door to see Natali standing there in a fuzzy jacket, and soon after feeling a gust of the icy cold wind rush through the house and up my bare arms. I let her in and she smirks at my pajamas that consist of t-shirt and baggy sweatpants.
"I see you haven't changed you preference in pjs Grace," Natali says and it's my turn to smirk now.
"Well I see you haven't changed your preference in t-shirts Natali," I say as she takes off the fuzzy coat. Underneath is a light cream shirt with the words "Rock 'n Roll" scrawled across the from in gold.
"Touché Grace, touché." We both laugh at that and move to the couches to sit down. We make ourselves comfortable and then she asks me an awkward question.
"Uh Grace? If you don't mind me asking, where were you the past few days? I couldn't find you anywhere." I knew now that I've been gone for a couple of days, but hearing it come from Natali, it sounded like I was gone forever. "I missed my best friend Grace."
"I missed you too Natali, would you lien to hear the story of why I wasn't here?" After hearing this her eyes lit up and she nodded eagerly, making this remind me of the story telling we would do as kids. I took a deep breath and started telling the story another time.
Natali's P.O.V.
Grace was gone for days, of course I'm going to want to know why. I missed her and school wasn't the same without her, since we reconnected Christina turned sour and started being mean again. I guess either you're with her or against her.
After hearing Grace's story I thought about what she went through, she even showed me her broken wing to prove how awful this man was. I couldn't believe that he was he father of someone, especially Max since from what she told me about him, Max really cares about her. I'm going to have to meet him when we figure out a way Grace can save him from his evil father. Hopefully he's really nice because then, well, maybe I can, uh, ship them.
Grace's P.O.V.
After telling Natali the capture story it was late in the afternoon and she had to get home to her family. I was pretty tired out so I went back upstairs to my room to think.
I plugged my earbuds into my phone and went to the music app and played a song. The song played and soothed my worries for a few moments as I sat down to stare at the woods through my bedroom window. The lyrics rang through my ears, "...I'll come back for you, back someday for you..." making me think of Max again.
I silently wish that Max is okay before silently whispering "I'll come back for you Max, I promise I will."
*******************************************
So hi again, I'm sorry the chapter's short but... better a short chapter than no chapter at all right? So again I'm sorry I haven't been able to update lately so I figured since I had a little free time I'd throw together something even if it would be short.
The song lyrics at the end of the chapter is one of my many favorites called "I'll Come Back For You" and ironically it is by Max Schneider (hahahahaha... they're both Max) and he is one of my favorite music artists. I'm not able to link it up top so if you want to hear it, go check it out on YouTube.
Thank you to everyone who is reading this, I am so grateful for all of you❤️.
I Don't forget to vote and leave a comment if you'd like to and I'll see you all next time.
So, so, SO many hugs✌🏻❤️

The Girl Who Had Wings
General FictionI rushed to the mirror and was memorized by what I saw. Big brown griffin wings were peeking around my back. I could feel every inch of them, soft and light. Oh, and once I tried to move them, I knew right away that they were what I had been missing...
