My little singer

Chapter 6 a bad suprise

Maria POV

We were all currently sitting around eating and being the normal fatty teenagers we are, when my phone rang I picked it up and went into the kitchen when i answered I heard the wonderful voice from the one and only... My mum, she didn't call me often so I was actually quite surprised she called but I knew it probably was nothing special. It stayed quite for a few seconds as she said nothing but a blunt "hi"

"Hey mum what's up?" I asked trying to sound completely normal even though in the inside I was freaking out

"Umm nothing... It's agh..." She said slowly still scaring the jeepers out of me

"You remember Sonia right?, yeah well she's going to be staying with us for the night we will pick you up soon I just thought I would let you know" she said trying to sound find when I could tell she really wasn't

"I can ask one of the boys to drop me off if you want I'm sure they will be fine with it" I said suddenly feeling sorry for her

"No, no it fine I'll see you in an hour or so" she said a bit happier

"Alright bye" I said with a bit of a fake giggle at the end

I walked back into the lounge room and no one had moved an inch, I wonder if they even know that I left. I got a few quick smiles as I came back and sat next to Tristan, he put his arm around whispered into my war asking if I was okay I gave him a reassuring smile and grace looked at me with a weird look but I gave her one back as Bradley had his arm around her then Angela looked up looked at me then at grace then to Connor and James who still were off looking at their phones and gave herself a sad face seeing she was the only one without one of the boys arms around her. Although me and Tristan haven't been on a date or anything I still felt very drawn to him but I don think he liked me in that way which is fine I just... Wish he did. Grace mouthed to me telling me to come into the other room so I tried to make it look natural by just getting up and leaving soon followed by Grace. The second we got in there so turned me around and had the biggest smirk on her face

"Yes?" I questioned wondering why she just pulled me into the walk in pantry

"What was that!?!?" she asked trying to whisper but not doing a very good job

"What was what?" I asked even though I knew exactly what she was talking about

She looked as me as if I was an idiot knowing that I knew what she wanted

"Tristan just put his arm around you!" she said stating the obvious

"Yes and Bradley put his arm around you!" I said trying to change the subject

"Oi don't try and change the subject missy I know wh-" grace was cut off before a confused looking Tristan opened the door

We both awkwardly smiled before he asked us what we were doing before I could say something grace came out and said "we were talking about how much she loves you" both of us go red as we look at grace proud at what she just said she walked out of the pantry and left me and Tristan standing there in awkward silence for a while until he finally spoke up and broke the silence

"We should probably get back to the others" he said stuttering at just about every word he said, I nodded and walked in front if him and out of the pantry back to the others

It was now 9:00 and my mum said she'll be picking me up in half an hour we were all still on our phones until Tristan spoke up and made just about everyone in the room jump.

"I'm borrreeedddd" James said like a five year old

"Well what do you wanna do?" Bradley asked

"We should make a cake!" Tristan said excitedly, I sometimes forget what age he is

We all agreed and got up to make a cake, James and Connor searched up a recipe whilst the rest of us just stood actually talking for once. When I was a kid I always thought that being a teenager would be all about going to parties and talking to cute boys but now that I'm actually a teenager all anyone ever does is go on social media and watch youtube it's weird how you expect something to happen but it happens in a completely different way. I was distracted from my thought when I got hit in the face with flour followed by a cheeky smiling Connor with flower on his hands and everyone in fits of laughter

"I'm gonna kill you!" I playfully said as I picked up a hand full of flour and chucked it back at him

The next thing I know we were all throwing flour and sugar at each other until we were interrupted by the door bell ringing I knew it would probably be my mum so I told grace to get the door whilst I went to get my bag when I got to the door Grace was sitting there with her back to the door with her knees up to her chest and her head in her hands. I ran up to her and tried to ask if she was okay but she kept on blocking me out.

"Grace what's wrong?!?!" I said starring to get really scared

"My mums at the door" she said in between sobs

"Guys get in here" I screamed across the house trying to get the others attention

They all came in and as soon as they saw Grace they dropped quiet and came over to see what was wrong

I mouthed to the others telling them that her mums at the door and I could see everyone of their faces drop. Grace got up and ran to the room she was staying in soon followed by Bradley whilst Tristan went to tell her mum that Grace wasn't available.

Graces POV

We were all having fun laughing and throwing food at each other when my past came after me.

Seeing my mum stand at the door was just too much for me to handle, it took me back to my childhood when my family would scream at me or tell me how terrible I am. When the others came over and saw me crying it just made me feel worse knowing I've just ruined everyone's night so I ran up to my room and jumped on my bed crying quietly to myself. I heard a knock on the door followed by the familiar voice of Bradley

"Grace, I-I'm so sorry" brad said coming over to me and hugging me

"For what?" I questioned

"For everything you've had to go through" he said deeply staring into my eyes wiping away my fallen tear "whatever happens I promise I'll always bee there for you"

I put my head down so it was leaning again his chest and quietly whispered thank you

"Grace?" I looked up and saw my mum standing by the door

I was choosing between getting up and leaving again or talking through this with her. I knew that if I did try and talk this through with her she would just end up once again getting angry with me but if I didn't she is still legally in charge of me so she could just take me home. I decided to let her talk but I still didn't want brad to leave, I wanted someone else to hear what I hear and see how much it hurt to be treated like your a nothing.

"Ill give you guys some time alone" brad said trying to leave but I held his arm and asked him to stay

"Grace, I'm soo sorry for what I've done and I understand I'd you need time but you can't just run off like that I mean after all without me you wouldn't even be here and yet you were willing to just throw that all away to go out with some dirty older boys you've known for 2 weeks?" she pointed out blaming me for everything that's happened

"What so this is my fault now?!?!" I asked

"Yes it actually is!"

"You know what, these last few weeks without you have been the best few weeks of my life so seriously just get out and forget about me leave me alone let me live my life without hating having to come home everyday or having to call that discussing house we once lived in home." "just get out. and don't bother coming back!" I was trying to hold my tears back but as soon as my mum left the room I turned to brad and started once again crying.
