Chapter 7
Brent's POV
Finally. I've been waiting for this moment since I met this girl. But for some reason it didn't feel how I expected it. She wasn't giving in to the kiss and wanting to be closer. She was standing stiff and soon tried to back away.
I pulled away as I sensed she was uncomfortable.
"Grace, is something wrong?" I ask her and she just stands there looking at the floor.
"Can we just forget about that? I need some answers now. Who was the guy in the ally? Why was I in the hospital?" she asked and I could sense she was trying to stay calm.
I guess this is the time to tell her. I had my chance to make things right and I had to be a dick and kiss her when she already didn't feel comfortable about coming.
"Why don't we sit down." I say letting out a sigh and gesturing to the bench.

"So that's what happened. That's everything that ever happened between us. I never ment for it to happen. I didn't want to see you get hurt. It just happened. I tried to stop them but right before I did that's when he shot you." I say looking down at my hands.
She just sits there like she is still trying to put everything together.
"Grace. Can we please just forget about everything? Ple-" I ask grabbing her arm.
"I'm sorry. I can't just forget about that. I have to go." she says walking away and I can see her eyes start to fill with tears.
"Grace! Wait!" I yell catching up to her then grabbing her arm causing her to turn towards me.
"Please." I say with pleading eyes.
"No! Get away from me Brent! I never want to see you again!" she screams as the first tear streams down her face.
Shit. I screwed up big time.

Grace's POV
Once I get home after running for 10 minutes in the pouring rain I run up to my room, grab my phone, call Cody, and wait for him to pick up.
"Hey Gracie! How you doing?" he asks calmly.
"Code, please come over quick. I-I really need someone to talk to right now. I just c-can't take this." I cry into the phone.
"I'll be there in a sec." he says back through the phone and I hear the line go dead.
Cody doesn't live far so when he said a second he ment it.
"Grace! What's wrong?! What happened?" Cody asks coming over to my bed and wrapping me in his arms.
"I- I - Brent- a-and the ally t-the shot a-and"
"Brent? Grace you were with Brent?!" he asks angrily and conserened.
I silently nod into his chest.
"I swear if that bastard layed a hand on you in going pound his face in!" he says and I can feel his body tighten.
"C-Cody it's fine. When he did I pushed him away." I say recovering from my cries.
"Wait he touched you!" he almost screams.
"He just kissed me. I didn't kiss back or anything. I pulled away and ran off. He tried to stop me but I pulled out of his grip." I explain.
"But Grace, why were you out with him?" he questions.
"I-I don't know. I couldn't really remember anything about him. If he was a bad guy or not. Maybe if you guys would've told me I wouldn't of went!" I say back.
"Ok. Just relax. I'm sorry we didn't tell you but we thought we could keep your memory of him away. We didnt want you remembering all the bad things he has caused to happen to you." he says grabbing my hand. It wasn't awkward, I remember we used to hold hands a lot. It just felt normal. It didn't feel like a romantic gesture with him, just friendly.
"Come on, let's get you in to something for comfortable and we can watch a movie." he says bringing a smile to my face.
