The Ex

Chapter 48

Saturday. A whole day without any urgent distractions scares me. There's to much free time not to get noticed. I woke up in graces guest bedroom, which was kind of mine. I've slept here so many times. She was already up and made pancakes.
"How original. Making breakfast for your guests. So basic." I said laughing for the first time in a while.
"You're welcome brathole." I chuckled and sat next to her on the couch.
"How did you sleep?"
"Fine, maybe change the sheets once in a while, they smell old."
"You can sleep on the floor..."
"You know I'm kidding. I really appreciate you letting me stay here. I don't know what I would do without you."
"Anytime. Ooh! Last week I ordered a dress from Macy's. I heard a knock on the door earlier. I think my package came. She put her glass on the coffee table and sat up. I looked over at the oven clock and seen it was only 11. Since when did the UPS guy arrive so early?
"Grace. Wait..." She looked at me funny and took her hand off the knob.
"What?" I stood up. Going to the door and looking out. I opened the door. And seen a brown box.
"See? Amber, it's not him. It's the box...even says its from Macy's on the side." She picked it up and shut the door. I looked around the yard. Nothing. That I could see, but then again he had trackers in my car and cameras in my house. I never want to live there again.
"Ahh!" I turned around quickly.
"What? What's in it?"
"My dress! Isn't it cute?" I covered my forehead.
"Ugh!" I sat back down.

"Is there anything you want to do today?" She asked, being fun as always.
"I dont know, it's up to you..."
"Well, what sounds fun?"
"I dont know, maybe we can, just lay low for a while...well, Taylor did say to just live life normally so Ryan wasn't onto us..."
"Yeah...well, good. What do you want to do?"
"How about we, uh..." I couldn't think of anything fun. I was still freaked out and my mind was a mixed bag of marbles.
"We could just shop somewhere?"
"Sounds good. GET READY!" she said getting up to shower.
