Corbyn was still very aggravated, but he calmed himself down to greet the people. The woman ran over to me and engulfed me in a hug.
"It's so nice to finally meet my grand daughter!" The woman said
Granddaughter? This must be Corbyn's mom and siblings.
"Hi! So nice to finally meet my grandma!" I said
She let go of me and said: "wow your so beautiful."
"Aw thank you" I said and then the boy walked over
"Hey I'm Jordan, Corbyn's brother."
"Nice to meet you, I'm Gracie." I said giving him a hug
Then the girl ran over and hugged me:
"Hi! I'm Ashley."
"Hey, I'm Gracie, so nice to finally meet you."
"The feeling is mutual." She said
Corbyn walked over to Ashley and I and said:
"Hey Ash, can I borrow Gracie for a sec?"
"Yeah sure." Ash said and he gripped my wrist, he's still mad. He dragged me over to Zach and he gripped his wrist too. He walked us into my room and said to sit on the bed.
"Mark my words you two, neither of you go to a party without me now! And you are to go straight to college, and straight home afterwards!"
"Got it." Zach and I said in sync
"Good, now I have to go figure out where everyone is sleeping." He said walking back upstairs with Zach
A couple minutes later Ash came down stairs
And she said :
"So, you have a confusing relationship with these boys don't you?"
"Definitely."
"Corbyn explained, but I'm still confused."
"Well, the boys adopted me almost 2 years ago, and I lived with them. I called them all Uncle except for Zach, because he said it made him seem old. And I called Corb "dad" for a while but I don't anymore. Then I fell in love with Zach, so Zach is my boyfriend. And on tour I found out I'm Daniel' sister. So basically Jonah and Jack are my uncles, Zach is my boyfriend, Corbyn is my so called dad, and Daniel is my brother."
"That's a lot to take in."
"Sure is"
"Do you want to go to the beach today?" I ask Ash
"Yeah"
"Great, we can leave in about a hour, do you mind if Tate tags along?"
"Of course not."
"Kk"
We both ran up stairs and I pulled Tate aside.
"Me and Ash were planning to do a girls trip to the beach. Just me, Ash, and Mrs Besson. Want to join?"
"Of course, when are we leaving?"
"About an hour."
"Sounds good."
Tate went upstairs to get ready and Ash ran down the steps and said:
"My mom said she's not coming, she wants to hang with Corbyn."
"Ok" I said and went down stairs to get changed, I was a little suspicious though because I didn't see any of the boys around. I walked down stairs and saw all five of them rummaging through my stuff.
"What the hell is going on here?"
"Christina said you have drawings of us."
"Um no I don't."
"Your lying, you missed us princess." Jonah said punching my cheek
"Ugh you five are so annoying." I said pushing Jonah off of me
"Everyone out!" I said pointing upstairs, they all just stared at me.
"Now?!" I said and they all walked out
I put all my stuff away and got ready for the beach. I put on normal clothes over it so the boys didn't see. If they knew we were going to the beach, they would want to come, and that would ruin the whole "girls day" thing.
I sat on the couch and waited for Ash and Tate. About 10 minutes later they came down. The boys were all outside so I opened the back door and yelled:
"We're going shopping, bye!"
"Hold up" I heard Corbyn say
"Ugh what do you want from me?!" I said rolling my eyes
"Ok one lose the tude, and two you can't go without one of us."
"I'm going with Tate, calm yourself."
"Sorry I don't want you coming home drunk in a stripper dress!"
"Sorry I don't want a 19 year old breathing down my neck!" I said closing the door and heading out to our Uber. We took it to the beach and we set up our chairs near the water.
"So... I heard you and Corbyn fighting, does that happen often?"Ash asked
"No" I said but at the same time Tate said
"Yes"
"Well he's just really overprotective. He gets so annoying. " I said
"Believe me, I know, he's overprotective of me too. My dad is usually away with work, so Corbyn was usually the man of the house. He wouldn't let me have boyfriends, go out without him, even have friends over."
"I know how ya feel Ash, he used to do the same with me. He backed off a little when I got back, but I screwed up the other night and now he is overprotective again."
We then heard some yelling behind us so we all turned around. Oh no
I saw the boys walking to us.
"How'd they find out?" Tate said
"I have no idea" Ash said
"What's up ladies." Jack said
"How'd you find out we were here?" I asked
"Mrs Besson." Daniel added
"Mom?!" Ash said looking at her mom
"I'm sorry baby, you know I can't lie to my kids."
"Ugh" I said
Then Zach wrapped his arms around me and said:
"Hello gorgeous!"
" Hello Herron I said standing up and kissing him."
"PDA!" Daniel shouted
"Oh shut up!" I yelled back
Jonah also kissed Tate and Daniel said:
"Oh my God, my innocent eyes!"
"Well Daniel, why don't we call Breanne and see if it's still disgusting." I said
"You can't, she's in Mexico exploring or something." He said
"Oh, that's actually really cool." I said
"Yeah, she'll be home in two weeks." He said
"What are we all doing just standing here! Let's get in the ocean!" Corbyn yelled
"Nope, that's ok, I'll stay here." I said with Ash and Tate agreeing with me
"No way girls, your getting in." Jack said
"I don't think so." I said backing up from the while they were coming toward us, I gave the girls a signal to start running, and we did. Daniel and Zach were after me, Jonah and Jack after Tate, and Corbyn and Jordan after Ashley. The boys were not catching up to me, but I saw Jonah walking to the water with Tate over his shoulder. Jack started to help Daniel and Zach, but I out ran all of them.
"Slow pokes!" I yelled back at them
I looked in the ocean and there is Tate and Jonah splashing each other. I look to see how Ash is doing, but Jordan caught her. Corbyn went to help the others, and now I had 4 of them after me. Jonah came out of the water and started to help too. I was running out of breath when Jonah caught up to me and jumped in front of me. He grabbed my arm and Daniel grabbed the other. Then Corbyn grabbed my leg, and Jack grabbed the other. I was lifted off the ground with Zach under my back.
"This is enslavement!" I yelled as they carried me to the water
They let go of my limbs and I fell into Zach's arms bridal style
"Zachary Dean Herron I swear!" But as I said that he threw me into a wave.
They all stood laughing as I came out of the water.
"That's it." I said as I picked up a handful of sand and threw it at Jack.
"You got sand in my hair!" He said as he picked up sand and threw it at me, but I ducked and it hit Jonah. Jonah's face steamed up and he picked up two handfuls and threw them at Daniel.
"What was that for!" He said
We all were throwing sand at each other now, and we went in the ocean. We spent the whole day messing around and now we were watching the sunset. I sat with Zach, and Jonah sat with Tate, and all the others were just bunched behind us.
"Last time I watched a sunset was when we were stuck on that Ferris wheel." I said giggling
"Yeah, that was a crazy night."Zach said
"I missed you a lot when I was away." I said putting my head on his shoulder
"I did too, I thought about you a lot."
"So did I."
After the sunset was over we went home and went to bed.
The next morning I had school. I got up and grabbed an apple and my bag.
"Bye everybody!" I said walking out the door
I jumped in the car and drove to school. I was walking to my first class when I got pulled into a little alley way.
"What the hell happened to you the other night?" Luke said
"I was wasted and didn't know what was happening, Zach knew something bad was going to happen to me, so he took me home." I said pushing him off of me
"Well why have you been ignoring my texts."
"My phone hasn't been working." I lied, I have been ignoring his texts the last couple days.
"Well then why did it say you read the messages?"
"Uh....."
"Give me your phone."
"What? No, I don't have it, I left it at home." I lied again, but I wasn't giving it to him
"We can do this the easy way or the hard way."
"I said I left it at home!" I said pushing him not too hard
One of his friends came in and I got a little nervous.
Luke's friend pinned me to the wall with my hands above my head. I tried breaking loose but he was stronger than me.
"Let go of me you jerk." I said
"Sorry Gracie, but you picked the hard way." Luke said
He started patting down my jacket and he got lower, I felt uncomfortable but I couldn't move.
He then went near my butt and I gasped a little when he felt my back pocket. He pulled out my phone, shoot.
"Left it at home didn't you?" He said waving it around
"What do you want from me exactly?" I said
"You bailed on us, so now I'm going to bully you."
"Oh yeah, and what if I tell authority?" I said
"Then I release this video of Zach carrying you out drunk, and Zach's career goes down the toilet."
I sighed as his friend finally let me go.
"Ok how about this, I'll do whatever you want, for a week, if you delete that video." I said
"A month." He said
"Deal. Now let's get to class." I said walking out of the closet
I walked to class and texted Corbyn
Corbean💞
Gracie💕: Hey Corbs, can you actually pick me up from school today?
Corbean💞: of course, everything ok?
Gracie💕: Yeah, Just don't feel like calling a Uber.
Corbean💞: ok see ya later
I finished the day out and I sprinted to the parking lot, trying to avoid Luke. I got to the car and jumped in. I buckled my seat belt and told Corbyn to drive. I was so close to escaping when I got a tap on my window from Luke. He stood there smiling and waving as I rolled down my window.
"Yes?" I said
"Just wanted to know if you wanted to hang today."
"Um no thanks." I said starting to roll up the window
"I insist, you hang with me." He said pulling out his phone hinting he would show the video
"Ok then, Corbs, do you mind?"
"Not at all." He said smiling
"Ok, bye Corbs." I said getting out of the car slowly
Luke and I walked to his car and we got in.
"What do you want me for?" I said
"Well you have a choice, we can either go out tonight pretending were dating, or you can finish the last step of becoming a leopard." He said
"Well I guess I have to go with......."
