Stone Cold Sober

Chapter 24: Sister?

Brantley:
Killed someone's sister? What was that all about? Is Grace not telling me everything. I set there drinking my beer and thinking of what she said. She never mentioned a sister.. Did she have a sister?. Wait. Did she kill someone's sister? Now I'm confused. I grabbed my phone and called her. It went straight to voice mail. Ugh! I called her a couple more times and then texted her. After about 15 minutes of nothing back from her I called Chase. "Hey man! What's up?" He answered. "Random question. Did Grace have a sister?" I asked. He didn't say anything for a minute. "Uh, how did you know?" Chase asked me. "Long story. Wait so she does have a sister?" I said. "Did have. Listen man, maybe you should have Grace tell you that story. I don't think you should hear about it from me. I mean, I'm sure Grace will tell you about it when she's ready." "But wait. What did you mean by did have?" I asked. I mean what happened?.. "Listen dude, I really think Grace should tell you. I gotta go man. Talk to you later!" He said then hung up. Gosh. What could've happened to Grace's sister? What was her name?

Grace:
I was driving back to chase's place to drop off his truck Brantley had called and texted me but I ended up just turning my phone off. I do that a lot when I don't wanna face my problems. I pulled into Chase's drive and turned off the truck and just set there with my head on my hands on the steering wheel. I set there I sniffled and let a few tears go thinking about Miranda. Gosh I miss her. I remember how Chase would always say how hot he thought Miranda was. I laughed at the thought of that. I wiped my tears and walked to Chase' door. I knocked and Chase opened the door and I walked in. "Uh, Here!" I said handing him the keys to his truck. "Thanks, but are you okay? Have you been crying!" He asked wiping away a tear on my face. "No I'm not okay. I mean, Brantley got a DWI tonight and we kinda got into an argument then I said something about Miranda and left. Then just thinking of Miranda hurts me and makes me break down and cry." I said starting to cry as Chase pulled me into a hug and kissed my forehead. "It's okay!" He whispered. "What do you think Miranda would say if she was here right now?" I asked. "She's probably hug you and tell you it's all gonna be okay just like I am now." He said never letting go of our hug. I smiled. "You think she would binge watch Married At First Sight with me?" I asked smiling at Chase. "Yeah I bet she would." He smiled knowing I wanted him to watch it with me. "Will you fill in her place tonight!" I asked flashing him a smile. "Sure!" He said! We made pop corn and laid on the couch. We watched episode after episode until it was 1:30 in the morning. "Grace, I gotta get some sleep I have work tomorrow." He said getting off the couch and walking to his room. "Ugh. But Chase. Call in! Hang out with me!" I said as I jumped up and followed him to his room. He walked in the bathroom and I hopped on his bed crossing my legs. "I can't Grace. I need the money." "Please! One day!!! Uno day Chase!!" I said "fine. But if I gotta stay home tomorrow, you have to tell Brantley about Miranda." My smile faded. "How does he know?" I asked. "You apparently said something about a sister. And he wants to know. he called me earlier!" Chase said setting on the bed beside me. "Fine it's a deal!" I said as we turned on the tv and started watching tv again. Before I knew it Chase was asleep. I tried moving but couldn't because he sleeps like a rock and his arms was over me where I couldn't move, as I was waiting for him to move his arm so I could move I had fallen asleep before I could move out of his grip.
