Heart's Desire

“Grace !! Breakfast is ready come out!!” I hear my mum shouting from the kitchen. I am dressed into some shorts and a simple T-shirt. I am so not planning to go out today. I fell little nervous because now I have to lie to my parent about what happened yesterday. I hope they are not angry like they were last night.

I get out of my room and close the door behind me. My dad is already ready for going to work. Mom is not yet ready so I think she is going for the afternoon shift today.

I make my way towards the coffee table and sit right beside my dad. He doesn’t say anything , continues to read the newspaper.

“Morning” I say. Come on someone has to talk first.

“Good morning” Mother says but dad still ignores me.

Mom places a cup of coffee in front of me. I grab it and take a sip.

“So grace would you like to explain what happened last night” Dad say calmly I look at him. I feel mom’s eyes on me.

Play it cool grace.

“Uhh that was nothing. Lily was a little drunk so harry offered to give me a ride home And about that dress. It got ruined because I spilled some juice on it by mistake. That’s it!!”

“Okay. But grace I don’t want to see harry around you again” Dad says and I look at him in surprise. What is he talking about??

He continues “I know you were friends before but … now… I have heard some things about him. So stay away from him okay?” I just give him a nod. He leaves for work after a while.

What was he talking about? I don’t want to think about want my father said because small things like smoking is also a huge crime for him. So I know harry has not done anything wrong! Well not something majorly wrong.

I finish my coffee and return to my room. Mom tells me she will leave after an hour for hospital. She just took a job at mark’s hospital as a nurse. She didn’t work there before but now we have to do some financial saving so yeah.

I also want to get a job but soon I’ll be going to college. College I haven’t decided anything about that well I leave it up to my dad.

I am quite bored right now so I decide to watch pretty little liar god!! I love that show.

………..

Why is my leg vibrating?? What the hell??

When I open my eyes I see my phone is ringing. Ughh I slept while watching pretty little liar. I see the cause of vibration was a text from my mom. I open it.

Message from mom : did you eat your food??

I glance at the clock its two now. I am quite hungry I was supposed to eat my lunch by one. I will eat it now.

Message to mom: yes

After giving her the reply I plug the charge to it and remove my lunch from the microwave. I finish my lunch quickly. I don’t have anything to do now. This is why I don’t like to stay in. that’s why my enrolled me in high school even though it will be over in few weeks. They know that I will be bored as hell if I stay in the house without doing something.

I think I should go for a walk out. It’s been a while I have not seen around.

I change into some decent clothes and tug my phone and house keys in the jeans pocket.

I don’t really know where I want to go so I decide to go the park near my school. No one really comes there so it will be quite.

After walking for twenty minutes I reach at the park like I expected it’s empty. Instead of sitting on a bench I sit down under a tree. I think I should text lily I can use some company now.

Message to lily : hey where are you? Can you come at the park near our school?

Seconds later she replies instantly

Message from lily: can’t. granny is gotta visit her sorry.

Ugh great

I don’t reply to her. Fine I’ll sit here alone.

I pluck some grass playing them on my fingers.

“Why are you killing the grass??”

I flinch at the voice behind me when I turn behind to look at the source I see beautiful hazel eyes staring back at me.
