Chapter 1

Grace and her friend Ann were in Grace's room dancing to No Doubt's song Bathwater.
With Grace just sitting there, Ann desided to grab her to join her on the floor.
"no, no Ann. Im a bad dancer. havent you seen the way i dance?" Grace protested to Ann.
"Grace, you dance way better than me or anyone else at school and remember they crowned you "best dancer" at the schools talent show?"
Grace sat there in silence because she knew Ann was right. "uh-huh. thats what i though grace manning" Ann said.
"fine you win. just one little dance move" Grace said finally agreeing to Ann.
Ever since Eli and Grace broke up and just became friends, Grace hasnt been in the mood to dance or do anything any more.
After Grace was done, she went back to sitting on her bed & reading her magazine.
"Ok grace, im gonna go now b/c clearly you dont wanna do anything."
"Thats not true Ann. I just miss Eli a lot."
Ann desided to stay a little while longer and listen to what Grace had to say.
"ever since me and eli broke up, i feel like nothing. my life isnt compleate without him. i dont know what to do anymore. should me and eli sit and talk bout this?"
"sounds like your suffering from Post Eli Depression. If i were you, i would go down to his room, and have a long talk with him about your feelings for him"
Grace looked at Ann and said "your right. ill talk to him after you leave b/c me and him will only ones here. everyone is staying out late. this is a perfect chance to talk to him"
Ann looked at Grace
"well I better be going now"
Grace walked downstaires so Grace can say goodbye to Ann.
"Hey Grace" Ann said before she left
"Yea" Grace said
"Talk to Eli. Tell him how you really feel." Ann told Grace.
"I will" Grace said
"Ok, than bye Grace!"
"Bye Ann!"
After Grace closed the door, she looked over at the garage.
"well, here goes nothing." grace said thinking to herself.
I knew i can count on Ann. But im just (pause) Well, just afraid that Eli wont except me into his life again
-knock knock-
"come in! the doors open" Eli shouted
Eli knew that Grace was the only Manning family member in the house.Eli looked over at Grace and set his guitar down. "o hey grace! whats up?" Eli said in a happy tone.
that boy is always attached to his guitar. thats one thing i miss about him
Grace locked his bedroom door and walked over to his bed to sit down.
"Eli, we need to talk bout "us""Grace said
Great! now she wants to talk bout "us". y? so I can do what I did to her again? I mean I do miss her. I miss everything bout her. i wish i can have that back again
hope he understands what I have to say
"Grace, there was never an "us". that was a long time ago" Eli said coldly.
"Eli, just please listen to what i have to say. and dont try to shut me out this time" Grace said as tears started to form in her eyes.
she thinks im going to shut her out?
"Grace, what makes you think im going to..."
Before Eli could finish his sentence, Grace kissed him
I just kissed him. (takes long look into camara)
"Im, Im sorry" Grace said crying.
Grace ran out of Eli's room, up the stairs and into her room.
