Down The Drain {S.M}

Chapter 30: Home

{Gracelyn Adams}

"Okay, it's established, you are a hoarder.", Sarah says, bringing boxes to the front door. "Do you really need all of this stuff?", I ask, gesturing to all the boxes. "Yes! They are all valuables.", he says. "I honestly don't think we are going to have room for all of this. Can't you get rid of this box?", I ask, pointing to the box labeled miscellaneous. "No! That's like me asking if you could get rid of stuff in your apartment.", I say. "I am getting rid of stuff in the apartment! I'm getting rid of the accent table in the living room to put your stupid recliner. Which does not match my house aesthetic at ALL.", she says.

"Okay, I'm sorry. I can get rid of some stuff.", I say, trying to compromise, seeing her getting flustered. She smiles smally. "Thank you. Can we please, pretty please, not take your recliner? Can't you just sit in your favorite spot, the love seat?", she asks. "I do love that love seat. Okay, we can leave it.", I say. She smiles at her accomplishment.

"It literally looks like a bomb went off in here.", she says, look around her house at all the boxes. "It's okay. We'll get it done quick.", I say. "We better. I don't know how much longer I can take all this clutter.", she laughs.

"You're too much of a neat freak.", Sarah says, sipping her water. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're just a filthy pig.", I say, scrunching my nose up. "Am not. My room is clean right now.", she says, flipping her hair. "Yeah, because you just moved in.", Shawn laughs. "Not you, too. I thought we were a team against her.", she says, talking to Shawn but pointing at me.

"I can't go against her too much or she'll be mad at me.", Shawn says, trying to give me a kiss but I walk away. "That you are right about."

--------------------

"Ugh, I'm so tired.", Shawn says, getting into bed next to me. "Yeah, I am, too. We can finish unpacking you tomorrow.", I say turning off the lights and yawning.

"Get some sleep, my love.", Shawn says, kissing my head and wrapping his arms around my waist. I snuggle into him, my body fitting him perfectly. "Good night, Shawn."

-------------------

"Grace, wake up. Grace!" Sarah says, shaking me awake. I wake up, seeing her very frightened. "What? What happened?", I whisper, not wanting to wake up Shawn.

"Grace, it's Ton-Ton. Paw Paw had a heart attack." "What? What are you talking about?", I ask, sitting up, holding onto her arm for strength. "Grace, he's being taken to the hospital. He's really hurt.", she cries.

"It's a dream. This is a dream.", I say, rubbing my eyes. "Grace, listen to me! This is real. This is happening.", she says, both of her hands on the sides of my face.

"Oh my god. Oh my god.", I repeat. "What's going on?", Shawn asks, yawning. "We've gotta go. We've gotta go.", I say out loud, but mainly talking to myself.

"Grace, what's going on?", Shawn asks, grabbing my arm, preventing me from getting up. "My paw paw. He's going to the hospital. He had a heart attack.", I say, getting up.

"What are you doing?", Sarah asks. "What the hell do you think I'm doing? We are going back to Texas.", I say, grabbing my suitcase from my closet.

"We are going back home?", she asks. I nod. "We are going back home."
