Saving Grace

Chapter 3

Matt's POV

"Does he even know where I'm at?" "I have no idea but everyone is coming out here, including mom." "Matt, I'm scared." "I know. I am too." And she just broke down and cried in my arms. I feel so bad for her. Our mom left us for an unknown reason. She was beaten by our dad for not being a boy, which she has no control over. She doesn't deserve this.

"Everything is going to be ok Grace. I'll make sure of it. I promise. For now I'm going to see if we can find dad and pick up Chris & Jenna. You'll be ok. We'll drive by the house often." With that I left her in her room crying and I told Jc what was happening and he stormed out of the house. I grabbed Connor, Ricky, Kian, and Sam and we went to pick up Chris & Jenna. And try to spot out my dad.

Chris' POV

Me and Jenna are packing to go to California. We don't know how long we're going to be there for so we decided to put all of our furniture in storage and pack all of our thing and go. We're going for our safety and for the safety of Grace. Jenna completely understands why we have to go to California.

I just want all my younger siblings to be safe including my wife and sister-in-law. I don't even know how much hurt my dad can cause. But I'm guessing a lot after mom left.

Grace's POV

I couldn't understand why he wants to find me. He did nothing for me. I don't want anyone hurt. Including myself.

I was in my room crying then I heard a knock on my door. "Grace can I come in?" It was Jc. I didn't say anything so he just came in my room. The minute he saw me crying on my bed he ran over to me and hugged me. I never felt what it was like to be safe until I was in Jc's arms.

Jc's POV

When Matt told us that their dad was really mad and I lost it. I went to the gym for a hour or so to work off all this anger. It worked, sort of. The person I care about the most could be taken away from me. I have to protect Grace from her dad.

When I came home from the gym I heard loud crying. I knew that the other guys went out to search to see if her dad is here and to pick up Chris and Jenna from the airport. I went into my room put on some fresh, new, clean clothes then the crying got louder. It was coming from Grace's room. I knocked on her door. "Hey Grace can I come in?" No answer but the crying continued. So I went into her room.

She looked up at me. I ran and hugged her. I hate seeing Grace like this. I'm scared for her and her family. Not because she's my girlfriend, oh wait I haven't asked her yet. Or because Matt's my friend, I don't like seeing people hurt..

Connor's POV

We're out looking to see if we could spot Matt and Grace's dad. We also picked up Chris, Matt and Grace's oldest brother, and his wife Jenna from the airport. We haven't had any luck finding any hints of him anywhere. So we're guess that he is still at his house on the east coast. Nobody is aloud to go out by themselves anymore until he's in jail for good. Especially Grace.

After an hour or so of searching we decided to drop Chris and Jenna's things off at the hotel they are staying at, which isn't that far from the house, and head home. "Jc! Grace! We're home!" Kian and Sam yelled. We didn't hear anything. And with one look Matt and I went into a full blown sprint back to Grace's room. When we opened the door we saw a sleeping Grace and Jc.

Grace's cheeks where red, we're guessing from all the crying that she did while we were gone. Matt closed the door and we headed back out into the living room. "She's ok. She's just sleeping and Jc is with her. So no worries." I sear I saw Chris' shoulders relax. "So what does everyone want for dinner?" I asked. "How about me and Grace, if she wakes up soon, that we make dinner?" Jenna said. "Yeah that sounds like a good idea. I'll go and try to wake up Grace." Chris said and he got up and headed back to Grace's room.

Grace's POV

I'm guessing I fell asleep because next thing I knew I was being woken up by the way Chris used to wake me up when I slept over at his place. "Hey Grace, you need to get up." "Chris?" "Yeah it's me. Come on get up, you and Jenna are going to cook dinner." "Alright I'm up. Can you get out of my room now?"

Chris left my room and I looked over to the other side of my bed and there was a sleeping Jc and Wishbone. "Hey Jc, get up. Everyone is home." "Ugh... I don't want to get up." And he pulled me down with him. "Jc, I have to get to get up and cook dinner for you guys." "Alright let's go. Wishbone come." And with that we went out of my room in the living room/kitchen.

"Ok Jenna what are we cooking for dinner?" "I was thinking pasta with salad and garlic bread." "That sounds good. Do we have everything we need?" "Yeah 'cause I made the guys stop at the store on the way here." We started to cook the dinner swatting out all the guys besides Chris, who knows better. "You guys dinner is never going to be finished if you guys keep coming in here so I highly recommend you guys stay out in the living room."

Forty minutes later we finally finished making dinner. "Hey guys dinner's ready!" "It's about time." Kian said. "Well it would've been done sooner if you guys knew how to stay out of kitchen while women are cooking." Jenna said to Kian. We all sat down and started to eat dinner. I sear this house has never been quieter then when the boys were eating me and Jenna's cooking.

"Hey Grace, I heard from mom. She wants to meet us tomorrow at her hotel." My mom wants to see us again. After all this time.
