Her mom then looked at Grace, "Honey,can I talk to you for a moment"? she asked Grace. Grace looked up at her mom with a courious face. "Sure"! she said. Her mom told her to sit on the couch , so she did. I was just on the floor sitting and watching them talk. Mrs. Carter opened her mouth and just then Mr. Carter walked in. "Hi , Honey I'm home . Could you please"........He turned around and saw me , he didn't finish his sentence. Mrs. Carter walked up to Mr. Carter. "Now , I know I should have told you but....."

Mr.Carter didn't want to hear. He looked furious.
"What's going on"? asked Grace.
"You knew Belker was coming, right? She added. Mrs. Carter shook her head. She didn't tell her father about this. Mr. Carter was shouting and roaring.
"YOU TRY TO MAKE EVERYTHING HARDER, FOR ALL OF US"! he kept shouting to both of them while I was just trembling in the corner.

"Grace now that we came to this I want to hear why he was at your school a few days ago"!
Grace had to tell him now. She knew she had to stay strong. She slowly opened her mouth.
"I don't know, I think he followed me"!
"There has to be another situation in the story"! said her father. Grace continued.
"I got phisycaly bullied and Belker came in and stopped the kid"!

"What, who did that to you"! panicked her mom.
"An older kid"! Grace said very shyly.
Mr. Carter sat down and didn't know what to say.
