āHey Gracie, I thought I told you Jamie was going to do them! But thank you anyways.ā She smiled sweetly. āCome sit.ā She point to the space next to her so I sat without a word. āItās about your mom, over the weekend sheās been talking with your dad. He wants to see you more. Your mom got a court order the day he left stating that he could only see you on her terms, that's why you havenāt seen him. And he wants to see you more because, um I donāt know how to say this, I really shouldnāt be the one telling you but your dad thought itād be best coming from someone else.ā Oh my god, he wants full custody, I'm going to have to move! My heart was pounding and all these thoughts came bursting into my head. Miaās voice brought me back to reality. āGrace, your dad. Heās um, heās dying.ā My whole body went numb, Miaās voice grew harder to hear. I was going to throw up. I got up and ran to the bathroom. This wasn't happening, I mean I know I donāt see my dad a lot, but he was my dad and I loved him. When we did see each other we had a great time. I always missed him, and now I know why he was never there because she wouldn't let him. All this time she drilled it into my head that he didnāt want me, but heās been fight for me forever. And now itās too late. Before I left the bathroom, I tried to compose myself, I wiped away the tears and used some of the mouth wash that was on the side and walked out of the bathroom.
āAre you okay Gracie? Go on up to bed, Jamie's upstairs already, and weāll talk about arranging things in the morning okay?ā She gave me a big hug and a sympathetic smile.
āYeah Iām okay, just a little shocked, but night Mia, thanks for everything.ā I waved at her as I walked up the stairs to Jamieās room. The last time I had seen his room was when I caught him and Charlotte, that made me feel sick again. I knocked before I walked in, I have no idea why, nothing I havenāt seen before. His room looked like his moms, it was so tidy. Wow. I shut the door behind me as he came from the bathroom. āIām just going to put my pjās on okay?ā walked into the bathroom, pulled out my pjās and put them on. I looked in the mirror, I looked a mess. But for once I didnāt care. When I walked back into Jamie's room, he was laid on his bed and gestured from me to join him. He had a sad look on his face, so I guessed he knew about my dad. I climbed over him and pushed him further up the bed, he knows that I always sleep near the wall. I tried to put on a brave face and laugh but when I tried, it just crumbled, the wall Iād tried to put up so I wouldn't have to share how I was feeling soon cam falling down on top of me. Jamie grabbed me and hugged me tightly, I almost couldnāt breathe, and it didnāt help that I was crying.
āYou wanna talk about it?ā He said before kissing my forehead.
āThereās not much to say except that my dadās dying and I havenāt seen him in a year. I thought he gave up on me so I gave up on him, and now itās too late. Don't say itās not because it is. Iām a stranger to him all because of Sara, because she resented him for taking away her life and leaving her with a mistake. She hates him because he moved on, and sheās never gotten over him. I donāt want to end up like her, bitter and resentful.ā I would never have imagined telling anyone that, let alone Jamie. He listened, he never protested, he hugged me when he felt I needed one and he kept his full attention on me. It felt nice to have someone to listen. I eventually fell asleep in his arms, I felt bad because the whole night was about me.
Chapter Five
Jamie woke me up at 7 am the next morning, I totally forgot about school. I could just see how my day was going to pan out; everybody would be talking about me and Jamie, the āfightā between me and Charlotte and I would have to face my mom and dad, together in the same room. I decided I was going to focus on school, everything else could wait. Mia had told me at breakfast that my mom and dad would be waiting at home for me after school to talk about things. More like yell. Jamie offered to come round and I took the offer, I needed some moral support and I didn't want to tell Katie, she seemed too occupied by Jake. I considered playing hide and seek under Jamieās bed just so I wouldn't have to face the day, but he caught me just as I was about to walk up the stairs. I didn't say much when I was slumped in his truck. But he tried to make conversation anyways.
āWell, today should be fun, facing Charlotte, and her messed up face.ā He gave me a sly smile. āIām sure everyone knows about it, it was the fight of the year. I say fight, I mean Charlotte hitting you, you hitting her back, she runs of crying.ā He laughed faintly to himself.
āIf it happens again, this time it wonāt be an accident. Iām really not in the mood for her shit today.ā He sighed and said no more, he was the only person that knew what was going on with me. I didn't have to hide my feelings from him, but I did from everyone else. When we parked at school, I grabbed Jamie's arm just before he opened the car door. āThank you Jamie. Iām sorry Iām being a bitch, I just donāt feel myself today, I donāt mean to take anything out on you. I love you J.ā I turned to get out of the car before I started crying, I been doing that a lot recently.
āDonāt worry about it bug, I know what youāre going through. I love you too. You ready for the stares and the āOh my god when did that happenāā He put on a squeaky voice and imitated people at school. I laughed and climbed out of his truck. Jamie walked round the front of his truck and gave me a big hug, then grabbed my hand, with the biggest smile on his face. We walked into school, and immediately everyoneās eyes were on us, evidently Jamie seemed to love it; of course he would, he loved attention. I felt self-conscious so I edged a little behind Jamie so half of me was hidden. When we walked into home room, everyone stopped their conversations. Iām sure I heard someone say ā What is she doing, is she stupid? Heās got her wrapped round his little finger.ā Ouch, talk about burn. As we sat down, I also heard someone compliment my fighting skills, which put a smile on my face. āI cannot wait to see Charlotte. I wanna see your handy work bug.ā It was like he read my mind. And it was if Charlotte had heard her cue and in walked the devil.
āSpeak of the devil, and it shall appear.ā I said under my breath, just loud enough so Jamie could hear. He let out a snort of laughter. Charlotte's eyes locked and glared at the both of us. Her lip was still fat and her effort to disguise it was poor. She had bruising on one side of her chin, and her bottom lip was fat and purple. I donāt know where it came from but a burst of laughter escaped my mouth. This did not impress Charlotte, but it did the other people in the class. Iām pretty sure Miss Magee let out a tiny giggle. Charlotte was about to storm out but Miss Magee stopped her.
āCharlotte Pentington, sit down.ā Nobody was scared off Miss Magee, she couldn't hurt a fly but when she yelled, she yelled. No one wanted to get on the wrong side of her, even Charlotte wouldn't do that. Unwilling Charlotte went to her seat, her minions followed slowly behind her. When she sat down, Jamie raised his hand, so I slapped it. He swung his arm around me, and planted a kiss right on my cheek, we were the nosiest in the class but it was only home room so who cares. When the bell rang, me and Jamie walked out the classroom, this time his arm was wrapped tightly around me waste. I loved the way he grabbed me in a full room, made me feel like he was proud to have me there. He wasn't in any of my lessons on Monday, so they all dragged. My day was draining and nothing exciting happened at all. Until lunch. I was walking to meet Jamie, when Charlotte stood in my path.
āYou think youāre so perfect, walking around like you own the place, shoving yours and Jamieās ārelationshipā in my face. Did you forget that he was with me that night? But you always have to go and ruin things donāt you.ā She stepped right up to my face, so I stepped back. I noticed a small crowd gather. āYou think youāre so big because you hit me, it was a lucky shot by the way. Well guess what, itās about to come back and bite you in the ass.ā She raised her hand to hit me, I was surprised at how quick I reacted; I grabbed her wrist and stepped
