Hey guys! Once again I'd like to thank you for voting and reading. It means a lot to me.
Grace's Pov
The next day, Hannah has a meeting so I call Mamrie and ask her to come over. She agrees and 20 minutes later she's here.
"Sorry there was traffic." She says closing the door behind her.
"It's fine." I say.
She comes over and sits next to me. She's staring at me, waiting.
"Grace don't leave me hangin like this." She says.
I smile and begin to tell her what happened.
"Well. She called me and asked me to come over. I got there and she was just standing there crying so I walked up to her and hugged her. I asked her if she wanted to talk about it and she said no but that Angela and her were over. She tried to kiss me but I told her no. Then we fell asleep." I say.
"Keep going..." She says eagerly.
"Well I woke up in the morning and she asked me if I wanted to know what happened. I said yes but I understood if she didn't wanna tell me. She told me that Angela accused her of loving someone else and I asked who and she said that it was me. I was so surprised and I asked her if she told Angela that it wasn't true. She said yes but Angela didn't believe her. Then she mumbled something under her breath which was 'I'm not sure if I believe me either'. I pretended not to hear it and asked her to tell me. Then I kissed her. She kissed me again and then I said 'I thought you didn't love me?' And she said that she didn't think she did but Angela made her realize that she did. And now here we are." I finally finish.
"Wow Grace, well done." Mamrie says.
I just smile.
It soon turns into a frown.
Mamrie notices and looks concerned.
"What is it?" She asks taking my hand.
"I don't know. I'm scared." I say.
Mamrie's Pov
"I don't know. I'm scared." Grace says.
"What are you scared of Gracie? There's no reason to be scared." I say.
She looks like she's trying to say something but it doesn't come out. She just continues to look down and pet Goose.
I just sit there looking at her. Waiting.
She finally begins to speak.
"Well I'm scared that after Angela dumped her, she just wanted to have someone to love so without knowing it, she decided that she needed someone so she turned to me. I'm just worried that she doesn't actually love me even though she thinks she does." She says.
Before I could say anything she says "and since she already knew about me loving her, she knew she could get something from me."
"Oh Gracie. Ya wanna know what I think?" I ask.
"Yes of course I do." She says.
"I think you're overthinking it. Hannah loves you. She pretty much always has. She told me when she had a crush on you before Angela came along and I told her to tell you about her feelings. She refused because she was convinced that she wasn't good enough for you and that you would never like her like that. Hannah doesn't use people as backboards Grace. She would never do that because she's been used like that before and knows how it feels." I say.
"She thought she wasn't good enough for me? I thought I wasn't good enough for her! Should I talk to her about it?" She asks.
"Grace, you do what you think will benefit your relationship. You can't just not tell her about how you feel or else you won't stop thinking about it. She might get mad at you for assuming that she doesn't really love you though." I say.
"Ok. I think I have to risk it. I have to tell her. I don't want this hanging over my head everyday." She replies.
I leave because Hannah is supposed to be coming home soon.
On my way home I can't help but wonder why Grace is so hard on herself?
Hannah does love her and I don't understand why Grace doesn't believe it.
