Stone Cold Sober

Chapter 13: Something Is Bothering You!

Brantley:
We went and picked up Grace.
I hugged and kissed her but I could tell something was bothering her. We got on bus and when we was alone I set her down. "Are you okay?" "I'm fine glad to be back with you!" "Grace, baby, I can tell when something or someone is bothering you! I know you!" "It's... Nothing really!" "Are you sure?" I asked "yes. As a matter of fact. I'm wonderful! Let's watch a movie!" We turned on a movie and she fell asleep on my chest. I know something is bothering her. I just gotta find out what and why isn't she telling me. Her phone got a text, and I was nosy and looked it was Chase. He texted -hey you feeling okay? After what happen yesterday I know you're not okay. But your mom is gonna have to want to leave before we can help her. But listen I'm here for you!- what happen with her mom?

Grace:
I woke up and Brantley was holding my phone "what are you doing?" "Oh crap. Nothing I mean. Uh, Chase texted you and I was reading it.." "What did he say?" I said laying my head back on his chest. "Um, I'll just let you read it.." He handed me my phone and I read then started to reply. "What you saying?" "Hold on!" I said continuing to text.
I sent -thanks, I know you are always there for me! I love you! And I know we can't really do anything if she won't. It just kinda gets me down and pisses me off.-
I showed Brantley what I said. I mean, I have nothing to hide from Brantley. We've been together for almost 8 months now! "Mind me asking.. What happen to your mom. What's going on?" I told him about how hard James has been on my mom lately. "He gets drunk then gets really aggressive and pushy. And if she doesn't do what he wants, he...
He beats on her." "Wow. That's crazy." Brantley just kinda comforted me. "That's kinda why I don't care for drinking." I said cuddling up to Brantley. We got to our next stop and I went for a run. On almost every stop I go for a run. Since I can't go to my dads lake house to get my mind off things, running kinda help me. I got back from my run about 30 minutes later. Brantley was lined up with fans outside by his trailers.
I just walked by and kept going. I kept my earphones in cause I mean some fans want picture with me too, but today I'm just not really in the mood.

Brantley:
I was taking pics with a couple fans when Grace got back from her run she still looks upset. I got done taking pics and went to find Grace. I couldn't find her by the busses so I went into the arena. Still no sign of her. So I called her "hello?" "Where are you?" "In the arena. Top section. I'm just thinking." I looked in the top section and seen her on the other side of the arena in the top sitting there. I got up there and walked and set beside her. "You okay?" "Yeah, miss my dad." "I'm sorry!" I said looking at her. She looked me in the eyes and I could see tears building up in her eyes. "Today is 4 years." Then she just looked away. "Come here!" I put my arms around her and she just started crying. After a minute she raised up. "I can't believe I just cried infront of you." "Babe. What. It's fine! You're still beautiful!" She just smiled at me. I kissed her and we just sat there talking about her dad for a bit. He seems like he was a awesome Guy!
