Saving Grace

Chapter 6: A "Great" Day in the Park

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Katelyn, Jeffery, and I scheduled a time to meet up about our project. We decided to meet at the park. You know, the one practically right next to my house. We were gonna meet up at the pavilion in the center of the park, next to the basketball court, where I originally met Laurence. I sat down onto the bench inside the gazebo, staring off into the distance. I saw a father and child playing in a field off in the distance.
"I love you daddy!" The little girl said, hugging her dad.
"I love you too, sweetie." The dad said, as he hugged her back. Man, I wish my life was so happy-go-lucky like theirs. At least they got along well, from what I saw. It's a beautiful day outside, the birds are singing, and the flowers are blooming. (I'm such Undertale trash) As I was staring into the sky blue abyss, I started to sing.

Human
By: Christina Perri

I can hold my breath
I can bite my tongue
I can stay awake for days
If that's what you want
Be your number one

I can fake a smile
I can force a laugh
I can dance and play the part
If that's what you ask
Give you all I am

I can do it
I can do it
I can do it

But I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human, yeah

I can turn it on
Be a good machine
I can hold the weight of worlds
If that's what you need
Be your everything

I can do it
I can do it
I'll get through it

But I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human

I finished singing, and sensed a presence behind me. Not just one, but four.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't miss whore herself." I turned around and saw none other than Aphmau, Sasha, Michi, and another girl who has pink hair with light pink highlights and tips.

"What do you want Aphmau?" I said, glaring at her. That girl reallllllllly wants a death wish.

"I worned you about staying away from Garroth, and you didn't. Now you have to pay the price." Sasha said, making her hands into fists. I usually don't result to fighting, so I decided to use a more protective Attack, and defend myself more than targeting on taking out my opponents. The new girl lunged at me, and I swiftly dodged her, since she wasn't fast enough to catch me off guard. She ran into the edge of the gazebo, breaking a bar of wood and flipping out of it. Michi, who was in shock for her friend, but became extremely pissed off, and started to run at me with potions, throwing everything she's got at me. Yet again, I easily dodged it. For a fellow Meif'wa, she's TERRIBLE at throwing! She quickly ran out of potions to throw, huffed, and walked over to help Pinky over there. Next was Aphmau. Now that I know that she's the daughter of Thor, she pulled out her hammer, and started to swing it at me. I dodged out of the way, before it could send me flying yet again. Her hammer hit the gazebo, sending shards of wood everywhere. Sending her whole crew flying backwards, like team Ship from that show, Pixelmon. Then they sprinted off, grabbed Pink-hair, and ran away like the little bitches they are.
"Grace! Are you okay?" I heard Katelyn call. I saw her running up to me, with Jeffory on her tail.
"What did they do to you? Are you hurt? Do you need medical attention-"
"I'm fine, Katelyn, really! Not even a scratch!" I interrupted her, before she started rambling again.
"That isn't fine, Grace! You, being attacked by 4 girls?!?!? Especially Aphmau?!?!? What in the world were you thinking???" Jeffory said, shaking me by the shoulders.
"I assure you, I'm fine. Now let's work on that project, shall we?"

Day two of school. Yaaaaaaaaay. I got out of my bed, making it so I don't look like a slob. I pulled out a mahogany red over-the-shoulder shirt, with a thin, black tank underneath, some dark jeans, a pair of black high heeled boots, red feather earrings, and a knit scarf that my gramma gave me when I was only a baby. I slipped it on, and started my  way downstairs to make breakfast. I decided to make french toast since I had time. Dad came downstairs, with a half drunken bottle of whiskey gripped tightly in his right hand. He sat down, and ate it right up.
"I'm going to go find a job today, so no fucking around, understand, you little bitch?" He asked me, ever so clearly stating that he was drunk, and the black circles under his eyes said that he was drunk all night, and didn't sleep at all. Whoop de fucking do. Now he's in an even shittier mood. Yaaaaaaaaaay again. I grabbed my galaxy backpack, grumbled a goodbye to my drunken so called father, and walked out the door.
