Cruel love

Lost friends

A/N: hey! :D I just wanted to clear a confusion , the guy grace hits while on the way to school is Phil Grayson, and all the conversations held about 'him' thereafter are about Phil only. So that's it happy reading ;)

Dedicated to Kjesmer7 cos her comment motivated me to continue :D

After the little candy incident I just didn't wanna talk to anybody, Jordan understood that and gave me the space I much needed. keely wasn't anywhere near sight so I thought she must be in some corner talking to mike on the phone. I really didn't wanna talk to anybody but oh no that was apparently too hard for Phil-I am too big of a jerk-Grayson to digest as he left the girls swooning over him and came and sat next to me. "Hey sunshine!" he said with a smile but I didn't wanna talk.. All I could think about was how Jeff came to my rescue, the guy whom I hate so much saved me today! "Not in the mood dude" I told Phil rather dully. why did Jeff help me?? what could he want from me? Am such a pathetic loser! I should just cease to exist! "Grace? you okay?" oh my god can this boy never shut up??? "what do you want Phil? no am not okay of course am not okay ! do I seem okay? and why do you keep following me around? surely not because you're madly in love with me and if you think you can get it with me then oh no mister you're so wrong!" I practically yelled at him embarrassing us both, "hey grace keep it down people are already staring!" Jordan hissed I could just roll my eyes at him "Phil why are you being so nice with me? Haven't you seen the way people treat me around here? I suck dude big time! And I guess it's time you realized that." I continued but this time a little slowly and sadly.."people like you" I said pointing at him "don't mingle with people like me, your reputation is gonna get spoilt if you stay with me and my friends got it? WE are losers. I am known as the fucking school slut! you know!? so please!" I choked in a sob as I said this last part.. it all felt so so bad that there was pain in my eyes, my nostrils starting stinging and my vision blurred before I could realize what was happening Phil and Jordan were already pulling me out of the cafeteria oh god I was crying I hope atleast I was weeping and not really crying but from the looks of the passers by I guess not. "sshhhh sshhh grace? grace look at me grace.. you're stronger than this aren't you my big girl?" Jordan was trying to console me to stop me from crying but it really wasn't working. We entered an empty classroom which seemed like the ultimate make out place for teenagers with raging desires atleast no one was there now thank god ! they locked the door from the inside and made me sit on one of the benches "big girls don't cry grace!" Phil's cheesy remark made me smile a bit, trust the idiot to bring a song in the middle of something so serious! "Grace I know you've been dealing with a lot lately.. Jeff...and candy , I know it hurts a lot but you need to pull it together" "hmmm" I was so incapable of saying anything at the moment I thought making sounds was the only way to communicate "Here, take it" Phil was looking at me with his hanky, I was hesitant at first because, no offense but he'd been with a lot of girls today and who knows how many of them would have got diseases. Finally I ended the internal debate I was having with myself and took it "Th.." I sniffed "Thanks" I managed to say it godd am such a twit! "Grace everything's going to be just fine trust me on this, we are going to make things better" Jordan enveloped me into a big bear big as he said this I just hugged back already feeling better. "Jordan.. do you know what happened out there?" I asked Jordan not being able control it anymore "yeah, I do" he said slowly looking down, then I hugged him even tighter "Grace keep it together, things are definitely going to be better! You have us all, me, keely, mike n Kate.. everything's going to be just fine" he said stroking my hair now oh I love my friends I really do! "Hey! you forgot my name!" Phil spoke up from behind and then joined our hug. We must have stayed there slumped against each other, well not really slumped 'cos phil was over Jordan and Jordan over me, for not more than five minutes when I finally spoke up "you guys! get away! I can't.. fucking breath!" Hey it gets suffocating if two very nicely built guys hold you in a bear hug!

Oh god this is annoying I have been waiting for keely since 15mins she's no where in sight she wasn't even at school! she didnot even attend any classes what the hell!? Seems like am gonna have to call mike. I took out my phone and dialed his no. "Mike where the hell is my bestfriend!?" I demanded over the phone "Hello to you too sis! I dunno where she is, the last time we spoke she was in a hurry to go!" okay this is really starting to freak me out "Michael when was the last time you spoke to her?" "Last night! she said something about her being scared about some one and hanged up since then I have texted her like ten times but there's no reply! Is she okay??? Grace! have you seen her?" oh nonononono this can't be happening! "No! Michael I haven't seen her since this friggin' morning! She didn't turn up at all! I just hope she's fine" keely.. ? "Lets just call her maybe she decided to stay home today!?" keely would never stay home without calling me first so I know she hadn't stayed home... "She would have called me first if she'd be staying home" I yelled into the phone slowly pressing my temples. I have had enough for one day! "Just call and check okay? Maybe she's sick or something.. I'll talk to you later!" click! and the phone went silent oh great! I am going to kill this girl if she's home. lets Just call and check.. if she's home... I dialed her home no. as I had tried her own cell a hundred times and failed "Hello?" Keely's mom answered "Hey Mrs. Sullivan! how are you?" "Grace! am good how are you? where's keely? are you both upto something again?" she said it in such a nice joking way that it was almost scary "Erm, isn't keely at home mrs Sullivan?" shit shit shit I already knew the answer to this! "Pft! that girl wouldn't stay home for a day! why? isn't she at school? oh my god Grace!! is keely okay?!" uh-oh "Am not sure we haven't seen her since morning and Michael too hasn't heard from her since last night! but don't worry we'll find her... she must have gone to some one's place... am sure!" "Oh dear! I hope so!" her sharp and joyous voice seemed so weak and vulnerable now. I hung up and walked towards the school I would need Jordan's help in this. Oh keely, where are you???????
