'Whats that from?' Mason says lifting up my sleeve a little more to reveal the obvious bruise.

Mason helped me clean almost the whole house and finish all the chores in half the time.
"Thank you Mason" I say hugging him, grateful that he actually helped and didn't just sit and watch me.
"Of course Leah" He says as a knock sounds on my door.
I open it to see the last person I would expect to see.
"Leah, I know it's been so long but your parents are out and I just needed to see you" She says, tears flooding her eyes.
"Grace, Oh my gosh" I say hugging her, some tears falling.
Grace Hawkins, my 1st cousin on my moms side. Grace's mom is my aunt and we grew up together. She stands at 5'4, and is 18 years old. She has deep brown hair and eyes and her hair is past her shoulders.

"How are you? It's been so long, come in" I say pulling her into the now clean house.
"I've been great. My family moved to Florida, away from all the hectic family drama. How are your parents acting towards you?" She says.
"Hey, sorry to intrude. I'm just going to go. I'm glad I could help, text me later Le. Love you" Mason says hugging me, leaving a kiss on my cheek.
"Wait, Mas. I want you to meet my closest cousin, Grace. Grace this is my best friend Mason. I used to hang out with him and his sister and we just reconnected recently" I say explaining it.
"It seems like theres more than just a friendship" She says winking.
"But hi Mason, I'm Leah's favorite person ever so good luck competing with me" She says jokingly.
"Let the games begin" He says laughing, walking to his car.
"It seems the theres a budding romance" Grace says when we hear his car pull out of the driveway.
"Okay so maybe I have some feelings for him" I admit.
"Obviously, look at him. And he seems to treat you really well. I ship" She says laughing.
"But how are things with your parents?" She continues, sitting down.
"Oh you know, same old. I've been spending time with the Whites a lot though which is nice because I hate being here. I got a dog that stays at Masons but she's here today, BELLA" I say as Bella comes prancing in.
"She's so cute" Grace says and I nod.
"She's not good with new people because of her history with abuse. Like me" I say laughing.
