There for you

Chapter 8

Tucker ~

"So when we got to the resturaunt this guy comes up to me and just flat out assumed that I was there to do the nasty, if ya know what I mean. He was obviously hammered as hell, but I still couldn't belive what I was hearing! Although Natalie did warn me not to wear the dress." She was laughing so hard I could see little tears making their way into her mug, as she sipped her coffe. God she is indeed perfect.

"God if I had been there I would have beat the shit out of him, and you know it! I would have sobered him up enough to get an apology from him, because nobody messes with my Gracie..."

"Your Gracie?" she looks so stunned, it looks as if her eyes grew in size.

"Um, ya... Well, six months ago I could have said that but I guess it's safe to say that my actions have caused me to loose you... Have I really, actually lost you?"

"I don't know to be honest. I mean, you did leave me all alone for how many months without a choice? Wasn't it like five or six? I really dont know what to think. Truthfully, all I want to do is jump into your arms and forgive you, but I don't know if I can that easily. It just can't and will not be that easy for you to win me back.

"Okay, I understand and i'm not one to make excuses about my behavior, so I am not about to give you a bullshit story on how I was confused or whatever. I knew what i was doing at the time, and for a reason I don't recall, I needed to give you space- I needed you to give me space, and that was the only way i knew how." I'm literally on the verge of storming off. I guess being alone for five too many months has made me cranky. I need to chill.

"I also understand and I dont blame you for wanting time to clear you're head, but what I don't get is why so suddenly, and why not explain it to me so we could've avoided this whole shebang? I mean, we've turned into something I don't want to be, apart. I hate this so much, but now what I need to do is gain trust in you again. I lost a lot of it that day." I can tell she is on the verge of crying and I absolutely hate to see her this way. What if she has been this way for months?

"Okay. Please don't cry for me, it's not worth it!" I say just above a whisper.

Grace Rae ~

As his voice becomes hoarse I can see the tears brimming his eyes, and I- Of corse- beging to cry. I'm such a crybaby and i hate it.

"Gracie, Stop crying! I was just about to storm out of here and you're making me gather my temper and become soft! I was supposed to teach you a lesson, but now I can't do that because I do have a very soft, soft spot for you, and you know it. Come here." He opens his arms up to me and I set my mug down on the table next to his untoched one, and I tangle myself in his arms, like I used to.

"I miss us. I've missed you." She whispers in my ear, and causes me to blurt out something I hadn't been intending to tell her.

"Me the same. I do indeed love you Grace Rae, and i have never stopped. loving you and all of your perfection has made me see clearly for the first time in what seems like forever."

Chrissie~

"CARTER STOP! I know for a fact that you already know what I looked like as a TWEEN." I make sure to emphasize the word 'tween' because I had a rough couple of years dealing with my weight and he knows how humiliating it is for me to drag out those old memories. "You do not need to go through the photo albums. There is no need to laugh at the chubby moster that was." I pout and pretend to cry, to make him feel guilty. He doesn't budge.

"Awe c'mon! You were cute, and you still are, so you have absolutely nothing to worry about! Oh look- it's you, me and Lila at my sixth grade birthday party!"

"Oh gawsh!" He states as if someone was murdered.

"What! whats wrong?!" I'm pretty sure my eyes are popping out of my head at the moment.

"You were right. I was indeed a cute kid." I cant believe what im hearing. I dont think it's fair for him to have been adorable as a kid, while I was a chubby weiro. So I decide to even the score.

"Hey Cart? Go get your pillow." And the battle begins.

Carter~

"How is it that your shirt always seems to get dirty? We didn't even eat anything!" Chris asks with an amused expression.

"I dunno. I guess it may be because I am a sixteen year old, EXTREMELY horny guy. Oh, and I sweat, so that could also be why." I say whilst pulling off my soaked T-shirt and setting it on Chrissie's lap. I flash her a daring smile and wait for her to react.

"Uh hu. Save it for your mother. I'm sure she would want to know just how horny you really are. In fact," She pulls my phone literally right out of my pocket, and the shirt falls to the floor. As she dials a number she says, "i'm gona tell her right now." She smiles her stupid goffy smile that I adore oh so much and skips into the bathroom and locks the door.

Chrissie~

"Yes Your son is EXTREMELY horny and just cant, for the life of him, keep his clothes on and clean." I say loud enough for Carter to hear through the locked door.

"Oh my!" Lucy gasps. I can't help but giggle a bit. "Do not tell me you and him are doing things you aren't supposed to! If you are, I want Carter home this instant! I hope you're not doing anything your mother would be ashamed of!" As soon as her words come through the phone all of the breath leaves my lungs. I can not believe she just said that to me.

"Dont worry Lucy. Were using protection." I Mumble into Carters tear-soaked phone as I hang up.

I wipe away the tears that formed over my eyes and my cheeks. After taking a few minuets of time to stop hiccuping and drying off Carter's phone I step outside into the hall leading to my room and bump into him. I cant help but to wrap my arms around his braud sholders and I let the saddness overcome me.

"Chrissy, it's okay. Shhh, it's okay, i'm here. Let it out. It's okay." His voice is filled with an emotion I don't recognise. It's almost a mixture of sadness and love, except I don't understand why.
