"She will be the death of me," They said.
Little did they know I wasn't afraid of dying.Chapter 18
"Chip, calm down for a second." Dean held both my shoulders. "He has to be somewhere in the house."
"Maybe he might just be somewhere you haven't looked yet." He said in a soothing voice.
"He was talking to his parents not too long ago and he looked so glum. They must have said something terrible to him." I stuttered.
"We're going to find him, Chip. You have to calm down."

Chapter 19"Strawberry or chocolate?" Kyle asked me as we walked out of our department."Tough one." I bit my lip. "I'd go with strawberry.""If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?" He asked.I thought about this for a while, "Ice cream, but only if I can get my mom's brownies with it.""You have to pick one." He said as he gawked at some girls walking past us."Ice cream then." I decided and that was when I saw Dean waiting near his car.Chris was home sick with a really bad cold so Dean was supposed to drive me home so we could take care of Chris together.Kyle and I walked to Dean's car and I gave Dean a knowing look. I had been telling him that he had to apologize to Kyle for acting the way he did the other day but he always managed to slip out of the topic."Hey Chip." Dea

Chapter 20I woke up the next morning with a very terrible pain in my stomach and when I walked into my bathroom to take a shower, what I had been thinking was confirmed.My period.I thought it wasn't coming for the next three days.I groaned loudly as the striking pain came again. I have always had excruciating period cramps. Whenever I was on my period, I always take a lot of ibuprofen, sit on the floor in pain, reduce my sugar intake and most of the time, I get sick. It was the worst time of the month for me.I think for most girls too.When I was done taking a shower and fixing on a tampon, I looked through the cabinets to see if I had my ibuprofen but it had finished. I let out another groan as I staggered out of my bathroom and got ready.I placed all my necessary things in my bag and walked out of the room. I

Chapter 21It was another amazing holiday in the year.Halloween.Dean invited Chris and me to a Halloween party his friend, Ethan, was throwing and I thought, why the hell not?Halloween was one of my favorite holidays.The first being Christmas.I ordered my costume two days ago and it came in this morning. It was around 7 PM and I was in my room getting ready."Grace? Are you ready?!" I heard Chris shout from the living room."In a minute!" I shouted back.I walked into my bathroom and put on my costume. It was really hard to put on and I spent over 10 minutes wearing it all. Once I was done getting ready, I glanced at myself in my full length mirror and I liked the woman staring back at me.The makeup I had on was pretty much and it re

Thank you so much SorryMuchacho for the beautiful cover above! I really appreciate it. Your graphics are amazeballs <3.Chapter 22"Dean?" I said softly, but it was like he wasn't even hearing me. Like he wasn't even aware I was standing there."Dean?" I said, a little bit louder as I stepped into his room.It looked a mess."Leave me alone, Grace." He growled."No." I said, my breath shaky."

Chapter 23{ D E A N }Last night, I slept.For the first time in a long time, I slept.I slept peacefully with nothing haunting my dreams. I didn't have that same nightmare, I didn't see the same heartwrenching incident replay over and over in my mind, like I was the one dying. I didn't wake up shaking and sweating. I didn't have to deprive myself of sleep because of the fear of the nightmares. I didn't have to.Because last night, I dreamt of something different, someone different. Someone that makes me happy.Grace.But when I woke up, she was gone.I sat up straight on the bed and rubbed my temples.Maybe she was in the bathroom."Grace?" I called out for her but there was no

Chapter 24It was Wednesday the following week.I woke up that morning due to the sound of a loud crashing noise. I sat up on my bed and ran a hand down my face. I took my phone from my bedside table and checked the time. It was 9:45 AM which meant that I was late for my first class.I also noticed that I had gotten two missed calls from my mom and Tommy. I made a mental note to call them back as I lazily got out of bed and headed for the bathroom.When I was done getting brushing my teeth and taking a warm shower, I put on a pink floral dress and one of my many black heels. I dusted on a light makeup on my face, stuffed my laptop and other necessary things in my bag and with my phone in hand, I walked out of my room."Chris?!" I called out as I made my way into the living room.It was oddly very dark and I

Chapter 25"Grace!" Christian called out for me, honking his car."I'm coming, I'm coming!" I said as I locked the front door and hurried into Chris' car."You look like shit." He said as he started driving."Gee, thanks." I rolled my eyes and zipped up my bag.I arrived home late yesterday night and after that, I still wasn't able to get any sleep. I woke up really late this morning and I was a mess, trying to sort myself fast enough."So, how did yesterday go?" Chris asked."It sucked that you weren't there though, but it was my best birthday yet." I said with a smile. "Dean took us to Sunnyvale and I saw so many beautiful places."Chris smiled, "Of course it was the best birthday."I looked at him."Look at how happy you look just talking about the day you had with Dean, your smile is literally b

Chapter 26It was a cold Saturday afternoon.I woke up late and Chris had already stepped out when I did. After taking a warm shower, I threw on a purple sweater and blue jeans. I headed to the kitchen and started fixing brunch for myself.I had on my Beats By Dr Dre headphone listening to Anne Marie because she's awesome. I was bobbing my head and moving my body to the rhythm of the song as I sang along and used the spoon in my hand as a microphone.I felt my heart jump out of my body when all of a sudden, someone bigger than me wrapped their arms around my shoulders from behind."Bloody fucking hell!" I screamed and hit them in the stomach with my elbow."Holy shit, Grace!" I heard a familiar voice groan as I took off the headphone and placed it on the counter.I turned around

Chapter 73{ D E A N }Something wasn't right.There was something wrong with Grace and I could feel it in my gut.Maybe it was the way she always seemed distracted, maybe it was the way the littlest things I said or did caused her demeanor to change, maybe it was the way she always seemed lost in thoughts, maybe it was the way I could simply tell when something wasn't right with her but this was a gut feeling.And I was going crazy with the oblivion.It hurt that she didn't want me to be there for her.

Chapter 72I had no idea what to do.Kendra had given me the offer again.We had quite the conversation when she called me last week. We talked about everything that happened and how it affected her view of me. We talked of how relieved she felt when her son told her that it was all a misunderstanding and everything was done out of spite. We talked about how she had received a call from Dean Ryan and the heart-to-heart conversation they had.We talked about how hesitant she was to contact me when the truth behind the photo was revealed. We talked about how shocked and happy she felt when she received my email. She talked about

Chapter 71"Hi." Dean said in the most feathery voice, his tone completely matching mine.Someone teach me how to breathe, please.I literally held my heart in my hands as I stood in front of him. I had no idea how this was going to go or what I should've said next but all I knew was that there were a million things that I was finally ready to get off my chest. I was done fighting it, I was done trying to act strong, I was done with all of it. Because standing there in that very moment, I realized something;I missed him.God, I missed him painfully."Can I come in?" I asked him.He cleared his throat like my voice snapped him out of a trance

Chapter 70I woke up the next morning with this nervous feeling in my stomach. Every action I performed, right from brushing my teeth, having a shower and getting ready, made the feeling in my stomach go up a notch every time.Every bone in my body screamed at me to just stay home today until I was sure that I could go to school without feeling like anxiety was about to knock me out but there was also a voice at the back of my mind that told me to suck it up and get this over with once and for all.I swear, I felt like a freshman on their first day of high school.Chris and I's schedule no longer aligned this year. As my first lecture of the day began at 9

Chapter 69{ G R A C E }Summer had come to an end, making it close to two months since I last saw or spoke to Dean.I remember that day vividly everyday. I remember how hurt Dean looked when I walked out of the penthouse which was basically our home for months. I remember how his face fell when he begged me not to fall out of love with him and I lied through my teeth. I remember feeling like a part of me was missing when I had to force myself to be okay. I remember going back to my best friend and him trying to get me to hear him out.Chris had told me that Dean had explained to him what really happened and that if I'd just listen to what

Chapter 68{ D E A N }Three days.I hadn't heard from Grace in three days.Ever since she broke up with me, I've felt completely empty. As cheesy and over the top as this may sound, everything seemed to have lost purpose and meaning. I never thought a time like this would come, where Grace would no longer want anything to do with me, where we wouldn't be together.After that morning at Chris', I drove back home feeling the deepest void inside me. I had been texting Grace nonstop to hear me out but I haven't gotten a response from her. It was only today that I realized that she had blocked my number, if not deleted it and that hurt me, a lot.

Chapter 67I felt the pain in my core.It was as though someone had thrown a heavy weight upon my chest, crushing and crumbling my heart bit by bit. My head was spinning, everything around me at that moment was spinning. I felt a heavy lump in my throat as my eyes never left the laptop screen. Jenna was saying something but I had completely drowned her out, trying to calm the wave going on in my head.The photo stared back at me, taunting me, mocking me, causing a thousand questions to flood through my mind and rush back out. I wanted to believe that this was all just some stupid prank, that Jenna was lying about all of this, that Dean had not

Chapter 66Chris' photos got approved.He was so happy and excited that his work was going to be displayed on Mark Finston's photo exhibit and Dean and I couldn't have been happier for him. We still hadn't seen the photos, Chris wouldn't let us. He said he wanted us to see it for the first time in the exhibit and we didn't mind, honestly. We were just really proud of him and his accomplishments.The photo exhibit was tonight and Dean and I had gotten ready to leave. We had agreed to meet Chris there, as well as our other friends whom he had invited. I was dressed in a rose gold dress which hugged my upper body and flared from my waist, ending mid-thi

Chapter 65"Oh my Jesus!" The sound of Chris' voice boomed over the entire living room. "Holy fucking shit! I'm gonna be blind, I'm gonna be blind! I'm gonna be fucking blind!""Chris, what the fuck?!" Dean shouted as he wrapped me up in him as an attempt to cover me up."I'm never gonna see again!" Chris exaggerated, throwing his hands over his eyes. "Please put some fucking clothes on! Holy mother of Jesus. How will I ever unsee that?"I couldn't help but laugh at how ridiculous he was being. Dean's glare etched his features as he lifted himself off me, looking around for wherever we threw our clothes to. He tossed his shirt to me, putting on his briefs right after. I put the sh
