Between Us

Grace

My emotions are so mixed up. It was already late so I had to sneak into me room. I quickly tip toe upstairs into Dinah's room to see if she was there. And of course she wasn't. Damn it's eleven and she still at the party? I guess it doesn't matter because I'm pissed at her. How could she not be there when I needed her?

I tip toed back into the hallway and into my room. I was so drained out I just went into my bathroom and took my make up off and then I threw on a big shirt and jumped into bed.

Dinah

I quietly walked through the door and shut the door softly. I walked upstairs and straight into my room. I know I should go into Grace's room to see how her night was but I'll just talk to her in the morning. I changed into some shorts and a tank top and put my hair in a ponytail and jumped in bed. I was just about to go to sleep until I got a message from Issac. It was a picture of me, him, Daniel, and Natasha at the party. I smiled and saved the picture in my phone. Then drifted off to sleep.

It was 6:00 and Dinah had just left my room from waking me up.I finally managed to get up and go to my personal bathroom to take a shower.The events of last night played over and over in my head like an movie with a scratch.I climbed in to the shower Trying to forget the messages but I couldn't this was the first person I've ever grown to like and this happens.I cried and cried till my grandmother yelled telling me I'm going to be late if I didn't hurry.

"Morning everybody" I said while walking into the kitchen to see my grandma cooking breakfast while Grace on her phone.

"Morning" Grace said dryly while her eyes still glued to her phone.

I took a seat next to Grace at the table to wait on my breakfast.

"So how was the party last night?" grandma asked while placing our plates in front of us.

"Why don't you ask Dinah" Grace said looking at me with a mean look on her face.

"What's that suppose to mean?" I responded.

"Did you even check your phone last night, I kept trying to call and text you for hours" she dictated.

"Issac had my phone the whole night, what happen G" I asked.

"Nick left me for Lacyee at the party and just left me there, she showed me their text messages" she explained.

"I can't believe Nick did that" I responded.

"Yeah I can't neither" she added.

"You should-

"Can you just hurry up and eat so we can leave"

Grace

After I was finished eating I grabbed my keys and left without one goodbye.I drove down the surprisingly quiet highway.I was trying to think of speech to say to Nick when he approaches me today with Daquan behind me everything works out well.I pulled up at school and parked right beside Daquan 2016 Camaro.I pulled out my phone and searched for Daquans contact an texted him.

Grace😇👈😂:Where you at.

He responded quickly.

Daquan:🍫💞👅:You can't tell me you can't see my dark as* .

I looked and seen him in the driver's seat of his car. I hopped out of my car grabbing my purse and backpack and pressing the lock button two times.I walked up to his car and let myself in.

"Thank for what you did last night You really didn't have to"I said breaking the silence.

"That's the reason why I was trying to keep you away from him"He said putting his phone.

"Well thank you"I said

"And about that kiss-

"You good, I can get use to those"I said winking

"You for real"

"Ya-I got cut off by another one of his prince charming kisses.He's not so bad anyway.

Dinah

I know Grace is mad but she can't blame me for her problems with Nick. I tried to warn her about him. But I still wasn't there when she needed me. After a couple of minutes when Grace left I went back upstairs and grabbed my book bag and my phone and my keys. When I looked at my phone I saw Grace's messages. Which immediately made me feel guilty. She was right I wasn't there.

But I tried to shrug it off and rushed out the door without saying goodbye to my grandma. When I was walking to my car I gotta phone call, but the caller ID said unknown. I hooped in the car before answering.

"Hello?" I said while starting my car.

"Dinah Yazzin Evans? "a man with a deep raspy voice asked.

"Yes... My I ask who's calling? " I asked.

"Tell your father we're coming for him....and you. He's gonna regret not staying in that cell." he sneered.

"Who the hell is this!" I snapped.

But the man hung up the phone. My heart started pounding.

My dad's already out?
