Summary: (I suck at summaries) The life of Eli and Grace, and their relationship

Notes: this is short, and un-beta'd

(2 months after the situation with Dimitri and Grace)

Grace walks into the kitchen, and looks at everyone.

"Mornin'" Grace said to everyone

"Mornin'" Everyone replied back.

Ever since the whole case with Dimitri happened, somewhat everything changed. Mainly everyone at the school who knew about it, either gave her a gave her silent stares, or talked behind her back, and it was completely killing her, the only ones that only protected and was on her side were Tad, Katie, Jessie and some of the teachers. The only thing that she was happy about was her graduation, because she wouldn't see those evil people anymore.

Her relationship with her parents didn't change one bit, except for the fact that they constantly asked her on how she's been holding up, which was full on sympathy on her case, which once again, killed her, which always causes her to slip into a depressed state when things got bad.

Zoë knew about it, but didn't care about it, as long as Grace was all right, then that was all that mattered to her, she could always sense if or when her older sister would feel hurt, and she'd always giver her hugs to let her know that she loved her and would always be there for her when she needed it.

Jessie and Graces' relationship was fortunately going great, Grace has promised to keep Jessie and Katie's' relationship a secret. Besides that they bother now understood one another and were always there for each other, which made them both happy.

As For Lily and Rick, unfortunately agreed to file for a divorce. After the miscarriage of their child they couldn't handle their relationship, also that Rick was seemingly focused on his work more than the marriage. They realized that both of their children has a deeply profound feelings for each other, feelings that both Lily and Rick would never have, so they decided for Grace and Eli to realize their feelings for each other and that they belong together. So the both of them agreed that Rick would be the only one moving out. With his kids living in the house.

As for Eli and Grace, well that's a whole different story…

"Grace?"

"Yes Jessie?"

"Are you psyched about your graduation tonight?"

"Yup, 'cause I don't have to see, talk, or be in the same room as those people."

"I get ya, and we'll all be there for you tonight."

"And we're be there to protect you from anyone who's being mean to you." Zoë added.

"Aw, thank you Jessie and Zo, it really means a lot to me that I have your support." Grace said with a small smile.

"And you have mine as well Grace." Eli said with an intense gaze towards Grace.

"Thanks Eli, that means a lot." Grace returning his gaze at him. This not exiting from the site of the others in the room.

With that said, and from the actions from both Eli and Grace, everyone left the room.

Which meant that Eli and Grace were now alone, together.

TBC.
