After you leave us (Dedicated to Christene Gilmour)

This story is dedicated to my Nana, she was an amazing person. She died of Motor-nuron disease when I was 11.

Grace is a perfectly normal 14 year-old girl, until she receives the news that she has the same disease that her Grandmother had. It took her grandmother in 6 months and to try make it have more work to do she runs. In her mind rebuilding the muscles that the disease is taking will give her more time. But will it really?

Nathan is the new boy. From the first time he ever saw Grace, he knew something was up with her. The harder he tried to get to know her, the more she pushed him away. With her obsession with running and refusing to let people in, her mystery drowns him.

As Grace's time with them shortens, Nathan desperately tries to get to know Grace before she leaves. As her life's swelling presence dies down, her walls crumble.
