Saving Grace

*coras pov*
It's currently 4:AM and I am lying in my bed, struggling to sleep so I start thinking about life, thinking very deeply, I pick up my vase of flowers, and take a singular daffodil out of it, I study it, I notice the lines, curves, edges, how the colour slowly fades as it spreads towards the end of the petal, I notice how beautiful it is, and how I never really take time too, and as I put the flower back into the vase, I hear a noise down my hallway, I decide to go see what's up.
I open my door, and walk to the kitchen,
"Hello?" I ask to no-one
I face palm at my statement
"Of course no one is gonna say hi if they are here to rob you" I whisper to myself, I'm stupid sometimes..
I hear another noise, and I turn around to see my dog running around with a pot on her head.
"Oh my lord, your silly sometimes Rosie? You know that? Silly girl" I laugh at the dumb founded dog.
I take the pot of her head, and she lays back on her mat, and falls to sleep,
I walk back to my room, and I see multiple messages on my phone,
I never get messages, I have like 1 friend, not counting Calum, and all them, I open the message,
An unknown number, with a message
"You fatty"
And I instantly know who it is from,
I block his number, and I put down my phone, trying to forget, then almost instantly, another message, but from
Cal-pal;
"Hey Cora, left my hat at your house, coming RN, even tho it's like 4:25 Am, sorry if i woke you up"

As I am about to text back
"No not right now" I hear my door bell ring, I don't want to answer, I am actually have tear marks, and my eyes are puffy, but I can't pretend I didn't see it, I tweeted 4 mins ago..
I walk over to my front door
"Come in cal-pal" I say opening my door,
"Are you ok Cora?" He asks
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" I say slightly chuckling,
"Good" he says back
"Your hat is on the bench" I say picking it up for him,
"Thanks,do you mind if I can have something to eat?" He asks
"Yeah no problem cal, um do you want a coffee or anything aswell?" I ask
"Yeah actually, a coffee would be nice" he laughs
"I hope you like bacon" I laugh
"I do trust me" he laughs
I decide to make toast in first, and then get out lettuce and tomato, as I insert the bread into the toaster, I put my phone down,
"Sorry cal, be right back" I say as I make my way to the bathroom, because yeah..

As Cora leaves, her phone starts going CRAZY, I pick it up, to put it on mute, and I can't help but see the messages,
"You blocked me?thats ok I have another number"
"Sure you aren't adopted?"                 "You aren't a true Aussie, Aussies are white, kys you darkie"                  "Not replying because your upset? Or have you killed yourself already, no one will care, no one wants you anyway, no one loves you, ok Abo?"

I read the messages from the lock screen, and I am angry, how could ANYONE do that? Be racist, be an actual horrible person, especially to people like Cora...
As Cora walks into the kitchen I stand up and walk towards her, I grab her shoulders and say
"I know you aren't fine"
She looks down at her feet, and just hugs me,
"I'm not fine" she muffles,
"Ignore them" I say rubbing circles on her back,
"I can't, it just makes it worse cal" she says, as I feel a wet patch form on my shirt,
"Just, hang out with me at school, I'll be there, ok?" I say softly,
"Ok" she sniffles, and she leaves the hug, and reaches for the phone
"No"i say sternly,as I block the numbers, and then shut it off,
She sighs and then, she gasps
"CAL" she yells
I turn around and see a cloud of smoke coming out of the toaster, I run over, turn off the toaster and pick it up, placing out side,and I run back inside, open a window, and I sit down on coras couch and she sits down next to me,
"I'm tired"I say, as I lay down on coras shoulders
"Same" she yawns
"Cora, I am too tired to drive, can I just sleep here?" I ask
"Yeah it's fine by me" she says
"THABKYOU" I yawn loudly
She stands up, "I'll be back"
I lay down, and close my eyes

I come back with a blanket and pillows, and Calum is already sleeping, I lay the blanket on him, and I turn the lights off
"thankyou cal" I whisper as I walk off
As I lay in bed, my door opens
"No problem Cora" Calum smiles, as he walks off,
He is so weird sometimes, seriously..
But I guess it's just something I like about him
