Chapter 45

Graces POV
"Grace? Graceee?" I hear someone yell as I snap back into reality. I look at Jacob and realize he was the one yelling at me.

"Wait what?" I ask, and he laughs at me.

"Your phones ringing!" He says, and points to it. I pick it up and see it was Aubree calling.

"Where are you! Get your ass over here right now!" I hear her yell into the phone.

"Ok Ok! Jeez..." I say as I hang up.

"What was that about?" Jacob asks me.

"Aubree. I better get to the park to see what the hell she wants." I say as I penny board down the street. Jacob follows me, and we soon finally get to the park. I spot Aubree right away and ride up to her, with Jacob still following.

"Grace! I told you not to bring Jacob!" She whisper/shouts.

"I couldn't resist! Now what do you want?!" I ask her, annoyed.

"Get Jacob away and I'll tell you!" She yells. I look at Jacob with puppy dog eyes as he slowly walks away. Then he runs back to me, kisses me on the cheek, and then walks away again. I look at him and smile and he winks at me. I'm so lucky to have Jacob as my boyfriend.

"What was that about? WHY ARE YOU GUYS KISSING AND STUFF LIKE A BOYFRIEND AND GIRLFRIEND WOULD DO?!" Aubree shouts. I shush her and give her a stern look.

"Shut up! He kinda um asked me out..." I say, trying to hold in my excitement.

"When?!" She asks.

"On the way here..." I say, grinning ear to ear.

"Are you serious?! And you didn't even tell me about it? Jeez.." She says.

"Well I was gonna tell you but it like just happened!" I try and explain to her.

"Still! You could have just like... Called me right when it happened!" Aubree says. I shrug it off.

"Is Hunter with Anne?" She asks, giving me a sad look.

"I don't think so, but I saw them flirting with each other..." I say, and I can see the tears form in her eyes.

"Because they were making out on the bench." Aubree says, then breaks down in tears. I huh her and reassure her that everything is gonna be ok. We sit there for a bit until Jacob comes near us.

"What's wrong?" He asks, and sits down next to me.

"Can I tell him?" I ask.

"Sure, I don't care anymore." Aubree says, and looks down at her feet.

"Well, Aubrey kinda likes Hunter, and apparently Hunter and Anne were caught making out..." I say, and Jacob's face goes blank.

"Ohh, that sucks." He says, then pulls out his phone. We all just awkwardly sat, in the rain, and I was of course thinking about my overwhelming, exhausting, and obviously exciting day."

"Grace! Where were you?!" My mom yells as I walk in the door, sopping wet.

"I was at the park with Jacob and Aubree!"" I say, and my mom lights up once she hears the name Jacob.

"Oh! So, how's Jacob?" She asks.

"Well... We are kind of a thing now." I say, grinning ear to ear. Right when I say that, Mark comes running down the stairs.

"Your dating Jacob? How could you?!" Mark says, and gives me a pissed look.

"What do you mean? He's a nice guy, he is good looking, and he makes her happy." My mom says to Mark.

"She knows Brandon likes her!" Mark screams in frustration.

"Oh! Speaking of Brandon, we are going to there house on Friday so I can catch up with Christine, plus you guys can talk to the kids and stuff because you guys obviously get along." My mom says excitedly. "Now get to your homework!" I run upstairs in my room and slam my door. Great, I felt good about this relationship till Brandon came into the mix.
