The Nace story continued....

Chapter 1

Grace POV
How can he blame me for everything? I was just doing what he was too afraid to do. If he had kept the relationship with Courtney going on any longer she would've been even more devastated when she found out. And ok maybe there was a better way of handling the situation, but it was just a spur of the moment kind of thing. I saw the opportunity and I took it. I was just trying to help. That's not being selfish right?

My thoughts were suddenly interrupted when Cassie entered the room.

"Grace, honey what was that all about?" She asked.
"Nothing mom it's fine, everything is fine" I replied.
"That sure didn't look like nothing to me" she said giving me that 'I know you're lying' face.
"I just was trying to help him break up with Courtney, and suddenly I'm the bad guy" I protested, throwing my hands by my side.
"You broke up with Courtney for him?" My mom questioned in a surprised voice.
"Yes and now he's mad at me, even though I was just trying to help out" I defensively stated.
"Well honey, that's very sweet of you, but some things are personal. If he was going to break up with her he would've done it when the time was right."
"But when would that be, I mean he kept saying that he was going to break up with her but then he never did."
"Grace is there something else going on?"
"What do you mean?" 
"I mean, you seem awfully bothered with his dating life, do you... have feelings for Nick?"
What? WHAT?!
"No god no. And even if I did whatever feelings I had are gone now. He spoke his mind and now the truth is out there."
"Don't worry too much about this I'm sure you two will work things out."
"I'm not so sure this time mom. I think it's really over for good."
"Well I'm not. I have a... good feeling about you two."
Cassie gave me a little smile and walked out of the room, closing the door as she left, leaving me and the rest of my thoughts alone together once again.
