Yuanace #6: To learn to let go

QUICK RECAP:

Graceful witnessed Jailer's accident with Tequila and Xen as the assailants, leaving her emotionally disturbed and straining her relationship with Xen further. She then passes out during and interrogation by THP. 

Mithranee just recovered from the near-rape attack by Josh at his birthday party, where she got saved from a healing Jailer and when Jailer brings a fainted Mithranee home, he is shocked to find out that she was once a drug addict herself  

Meanwhile, R.J tries to find out what Carl is doing to reveal her secret of being an FBI agent and realizes he is working with Jailer. Fearing the safety of her friends, she tries her best to pull together all the pieces and find a plan to bring down Carl. 

Now onto the story...

"RING!!"

The landline of the Ohelia household screamed in excitement as the saturday sun blistered outside.

Graceful, alongside her notorious sister Faithful, was setting up their weekly backyard picnic. Upon hearing the noise, Graceful went back into the house and grabbed the phone.

"Hi there, is this Graceful?" A familiar mysterious tone arised.

Graceful tried her best to recognize her voice, blurting out an intelligent guess, "Is this R.J?"

"Yes."

Why is R.J calling me? We have like never communicated on phone ever!

"Uhm.. how are you?" Graceful asked awkwardly. She never had a friend call her at home and she had no clue why R.J wanted to contact her.

R.J, sensing her discomfort, loosened up a bit and admitted, "Hey, didnt mean to startle you, I was just very curious and shocked about that incident on Thursday."

Oh
That car accident

Just the mere recall of the event sent Graceful at the verge of tears. She remembered taking the day off and trying to forget what happened. Afterall..

"Graceful? You on the line?" R.J melodious voice filled her ear.

"Uh.. yes. Ofcourse." She croaked.

R.J, realizing her slow and wounded voice, went slow, "... go ahead, take your time."

And so she did.

<3<3<3

Monday morning came as fast as the new Wifi router her dad has set up in the house and Graceful finds herself walking towards the school again.

After the talk with R.J on Thursday's events, R.J had given her advice to search for stuff that makes her feel better, you know 'the best things in life are free'. The follow-up of Mithranee's email on the weekend also made her feel better. 

At least things are patching up

She wore her favorite sweater with a Mickey Mouse print on it. Even though it was probably too old and kind of small for her (it reached just under her belly button) with too much lint and threads coming off, it was the most comfortable and memorable piece of clothing she had. It even had a gnarly yellow stain on the bottom hem. Looking at it, she smiled, recalling its memory;

That night, I wore the new Christmas present I received from my mother that morning; a creamy white sweater with a brightly dyed mickey mouse character stitched upon it and slightly frilly and cropped hem that I instantly knew was going to be my new favourite. It was a bit too large for me as after all, as per my mom's words, 'Its for my high school years'. Well, high school starts next year... which is in a week, so it should be ok for me to wear it tonight to Xen's Christmas dinner.
