Grace PoV
Mom was shocked when she saw me. She took me to my new room, which I absolutely loved. I sat in her lap and told her everything. "I told him I loved him and he just walked away." I cried and she kissed my forehead. "Listen to me, baby, you stand up and be a woman now. Show him what he's missing. Graduate, go to college and make sure you become the most famous archeologist. He'll come back for you, I'm sure of that. At your party, the way he looked at you. It reminded me of your dad and I." Mom said dreamy and I turned to her. "You never told me a lot about how you and dad met." I told her and she smiled. "We met at one of his concerts. Alex his dad's forced me to go. They got VIP tickets. I want that big of fan, but all the girls were. They were going crazy when they saw him and I was the only normal one in the room." She said and I chuckled. "I was just dancing a little, when he called me on stage. I was so shocked. Alex his dads pushed me on and I fell right in his arms. Our eyes locked and I saw a whole future with him. He held me tight and smirked. He said 'Looks like I caught the most beautiful fish of the sea'. That was the moment I fell like a rock. Sometimes it can be just a touch our the eyes or one word, that makes you go mad. He sat me straight and gave me a mic. He told me to sing with him. I tried to escape, but he held me tight. "Sing with me this once, you won't regret it." He told me and I sang with him. We ended and he asked for my name. "What's your name, darling?" He asked me. "Fiona." I answered and he gave me that smirk again. "Lovely name, Fiona. Would you like to hang out sometimes?" He asked me and that's how it all started. We went to this Chinese restaurant and every anniversary we went there." She said and I smiled, my dad was such a player. "He was so happy when I told him I was pregnant, he bought me a necklace." Mom said and played with it, it still hang at her neck. "It's so sad he wasn't there to see you grow up to this amazing young woman. You are so beautiful, he would have sit her with us and I had to calm him down. He would want to kill Jasper for doing this to you." Mom said and I smiled weakly. "Tell me something about when he was with is, happy moments." I told her and she chuckled. "The times we used to bully him, girls against one guy. Which soap we would watch, he would always pout. But you would make it better with a kiss on the cheek and you would say 'daddy I love you, but now pouting otherwise I'll cry.'. You were his best friend, the bond you two had was amazing. The house was so full with you two in it, I would always hear you two giggle and make forts. And when you two sang together... I wanted to grow old like that. My two loves close to me..." she said and I hugged her. We fell asleep together.
I sat at the breakfast table and Kyle, mom her boyfriend, frowned when he saw me. "I thought you were in the competition?" He asked and sat down. "I didn't want to anymore." I told him and he froze. "That was were the money came from, do you want your mom homeless?" He snapped and I frowned. "It was a lot of money and there is still left." I told him and he growled. "College is expensive and so is your stupid high school life. You better get a job, because I won't pay anything for you." He snapped and I looked at mom shocked. "Don't worry, Kyle, I still have a lot of money left. From Thomas, remember." She told him and he grimaced. Mom had money from dad. "That idiot! He isn't a man, who lets his wife alone with a kid!" He exclaimed angry, mom was trying to hide her anger. "That idiot left me a lot of money, that you use for that stupid poker game." She snapped and Kyle looked dangerous. "You talk back to me, bitch?!" He asked her angry and I gasped. What the fudge?! "My daughter is here, no cursing." She told him and he threw the table over, I screamed and mom shuffled backwards. He went on me and tried to strangle me. I was protesting, mom threw a bottle of wine on his head. He fell down unconscious. I stood up and mom hugged me tight. We threw him out and stayed with each other the whole day.
Next day was school, everybody looked shocked when I entered. "Babe!!" Alex exclaimed and hugged me tight. We walked to my locker an he turned to me. "What happened?" He asked. "I told him I love him." I admitted and he pulled me in another hug. "He just walked away." I cried and he hugged me tighter. "Then he's an asshole, you are amazing and you don't need him. You'll find someone who cares about you and he'll show you the world, you'll find someone who truly loves you and you'll be happy with that person." He told me and I smiled. I missed Alex his advice so much. We walked to Greek and mr. Grey was shocked when he saw me. "I thought you made it in the elite?" He asked and I nodded. "I didn't want to anymore." I told him and he smiled weakly at me. "Well at last I have my two favourites back again and let's make this a fun year!" He said and I smiled. Time to move on...
