Recap

"Talking about taking things slow" Paige said picking her words.

"What's the relationship between you two?" She asked.

Well damn...

"Are you going to answer or just keep staring at us" Ash asked while Gracie gripped my hand tightly and smiled. I could tell she was nervous.

"Well... the thing is that since the Phoenix girls left, Gracie has always been here to me-"

"We have been here for you too." Drew deadpanned.

"Yeah, but she has been my support system and we developed feelings for each other over time."

"No shit Sherlock." That was Ash.

"So some months ago-"

"You are together?! With this thing?" Drew asked, his voice dangerously low.

"She is not a thing." I said glaring at my brother.

"Follow me." He said authoritatively.

Drew and I walked to the kitchen and I sat on the stool while he stood staring at me.

"Are you going to talk or we just keep looking at each other?" I asked.

"You tell me. What was all that rubbish you just displayed?" He asked gesturing to the living room.

"What rubbish?" I asked.

"Don't play with me Creed... Don't" He said with anger.

Why is he angry? He doesn't have any say in what I do and who I do what I do with. So why is he acting so cold?

"A few minutes ago. I supported you and Paige even if I thought you guys were underage. I-"

"Paige is our friend and we've known her for years." He said cutting my sentence.

"And Gracie is my girlfri-"

"Dont refer to her... as your girl. Don't... She's not worth it." He said shaking his head.

What the hell!? What does he know that he's not saying? Why does he hate Gracie so much?

"Why?" I asked in a whisper.

"Ask her why she just wants to show up in our lives, be our friend, be your girl, join our group... Ask her." He said angrily.

"Why? I don't care of she has ulterior motives behind being close to us. I. Don't. Care." I said and stood up and walked closer to Drew and said,

"I love her"

"That's your biggest mistake and your greatest step to heartbreak. Good luck." He said and walked pass me and went into the living room.

Shit! What is he talking about? I don't even care but... I can't believe it. I've fallen so hard. I love her.

I ran my hand through my hair and let out a pained groan as a I shivered.
I walked back to the living room and everyone except Drew looked at me weirdly.

"Grace, tell is why you decided to be with our friend" Gunner said sternly.

"Well... we met at a bar and we both were at our lowest and we talked a bit and he gave me his number and from there we clicked" She said with a smile directed at me.

"Tell us, what happened that you had to drink it out. We won't want an irresponsible person for our friend. Do we?" Gunner asked and the others nodded.

Come to think of it, I never knew why she was there that day. Like she said, she was at her lowest. No need to worry.

"My brother in the Navy died." She said and looked squarely at Drew as if she was reading him.

To say I'm shocked is an understatement.

I never knew she had a brother. Foolish me. She was in so much pain but she never showed it. I'm a terrible person.

"I didn't know you had a bro-"

"You know, if everyone buys your filthy lies... I won't." Drew said shocking me the more.

"What do you mean by that? She lost her brother and all you do is-"

"Shut up. Will you? Guys give me a minute" Drew said and went upstairs while we all remained quiet an totally confused.

I looked at Gracie and she looked anxious, worried and... scared.

Drew came back downstairs with his laptop and Gracie became agitated.

"Gracie... mind telling us your full name?" Drew asked.

"Gracie Wilson" She said and looked at Drew with distaste.

Tap.. tap.. tap.. tap.. tap.. tap.. tap..

Drew typed on the laptop furiously as everyone listened quietly.

"Gracie Wilson... at least you didn't lie about your name and age." Drew said and looked up

Okay... I'm confused here. What is going on?

"Is there something you have to say? And please... is there something truthful you have to say to us?" Ash asked stressing the truthful.

"Gracie... talk." Drew said staring at Gracie with hatred.

"Please..." She said as her voice broke.
