She Was Grace

• CHAPTER SIX •

My heart stopped.

"Ahhhhhhh!" He screamed at me. His arms attacked me with a heated embrace and pulled me towards the dresser in the center of his room.

"Daniel!! You scared the living shit out of me!" I said relieved, but almost out of breath.

"I'm sorry..." He loosened his grip so I could see his childlike frown appearing on his face. "I wanted to scare you... And it obviously worked!" He laughed and picked me up over his shoulder so my butt was in the air.

"Put me down you-you-cheese block!" My mind blanked as i realized that had just called Daniel Kutch a cheese block... Yes, a cheese block... Couldn't you think of anything less weird to say.

He obeyed my demand and threw me onto his bed. He lunged himself next to me and turned on the television sitting on his dresser.

He handed me the remote and I flipped through the boring stations until I finally reached Cartoon Network.

His face was blank as he looked at me with his eyes slim and thinking. "really..." He said before he couldn't control his laughter anymore. "Cartoon Network..." I smiled and clicked the select button so Adventure Time was on the screen.

We sat there in each others arms watching cartoons until I heard him start to snore.

I looked up to him and shook my head smiling. I snuggled up close to him and felt my eyelids become heavy. I closed them and my mind went blank.

As I slept, pictures of my past flashed by. I saw my thirteenth birthday party where I had my first kiss. We snuck away from the party and hid behind the cherry tree in my front yard. His name was Jessy Flinn. He was two years older then me, but I didn't care. I really thought I loved him.

We haven't talked once since that day six years ago. He never came over anymore and he broke my heart. I cried for days on end until I realized that boys sucked. Until I met derek three years later.

I heard a knock on Daniels door. I must've slept in here all night. I looked up to see Daniel's face. He wasn't getting up anytime soon to open the door. I huffed and rolled out of the king sized bed and placed my feet onto the wooden flooring.

I slowly walked to the door opening it with ease. I was surprised to see Caleb's face looking back at me.

"Caleb?" I said with a little yawn leaving my mouth. "Oh! Uh, hi Grace... I wasn't expecting to see you in here. Is, um, Daniel up? I have to talk to him."

I told him he was still passed out from all the cartoons we watched last night and he chuckled.

"Do you want some breakfast? Elijah and I made eggs and bacon if you want some." He smiled and his lip piercing moved to the side.

"Uh, sure! Just let me put different clothes on and I'll be down." I responded with a light smile.

I walked into my bedroom and opened my suitcases up to attempt to find a pair of plain black yogas and an oversized hoodie.

Once I got dressed, the smell of freshly cooked breakfast guided my way to the kitchen.

I took a seat by Caleb and started eating the food in front of me. Elijah had on a pink and red apron on that said, "kiss the cook. Better yet, let the cook kiss you."

I laughed at I read it. Elijah didn't seem to be the flirty kind I thought where on earth had he gotten that... "Oh this isn't mine..." He stated. "It's actually Mikey's." He tried to hide a smile, but I burst out laughing.

We heard a knock on the door and in came a girl that didn't look familiar. She had tight blond curls draping off of her head. Her body was tall and slim and was slapping a piece of gum in her mouth.

"Who's this..." The blond asked as she looked to me. She held her gum without chewing.

"This is Grace." I head Daniels voice as he put his hands on both of my shoulders.

"She's staying with us." He smiled and looked at me and back to her. "Well, living with us... For a while."

"Oh. Ok." She looked kind of annoyed.

"Theres he is..." She smirked and looked to Caleb. She sat on his lap and kissed him passionately.

I just happened to turn to Elijah, who had a somewhat broken frown on his face while looking at the two. His eyes met mine and went he back to cooking the eggs a little slower, taking his time.

Once Caleb caught his breath, he looked to me and said, "I'm so sorry Grace, this is Sara... My girlfriend..." He looked down at the floor and bit his lip.

He didn't look too happy when he said that... Like she was just here for show.

I told her it was nice to meet her and she said the same to me.

I looked back up to Elijah, who still had that upsetting frown smeared across his face. Why had he become so heart broken seeing Caleb with Sara... I thought about it for a minute until I heard Daniels whisper in my ear.

"Wanna go somewhere with me..." He moved the hair out of the way to make it lay behind my ear.

"Like where?" I said in a childish whisper. He had an evil smirk on his face.

"You'll see." He grabbed my hand and pulled me off the chair and out the door without saying another word.
