A/N: Okay so here is the sequel to First Cuts the Deepest. No need to worry though I'm not quiet done with that story yet It's got maybe one or two more chapters left and I'm about half way done with the next chapter. So expect an update within the next week.

To all of those who have not read my other story, you don't need to read it to understand this one. Although I would like you to. =D Any ways enjoy.


You could nearly smell it, the first day excitement was thick in the air. Sequels echoed off the walls as friends greeted each other for the first time in months. Fear rolled off in waves from the incoming freshman, who stared wide eyed at the Seniors and Juniors. Well really more like the group of teenagers that looked like they belonged on TV rather then in the halls of Seattle Grace High. Two girls who were identical down to the freckle that rested on their nose were walking down the hall way with a dark haired light eyed boy who looked to be around fifteen. Well, the girl with the pink streak in her hair wasn't actually walking more like dancing and singing along to a song on her Ipod.

"Meet me in the pouring rain.

Kiss me on the side walk.

Take away the pain cause I see sparks fly when you smile."

Her voice was beautiful. And her body the way it moved looked like she was born to dance, her sister obviously the calmer one of the two watched her with a smile. The boy with dark hair and bright blue eyes was watching the blond girl with a smile as well both the others looked amused but not at all surprised by the girls actions. Her name was Gracie, which was fitting because she was very graceful.

Gracie was and artist in almost every way. She could draw a portrait of you and it would look some one had taken the picture rather than it being drawn. She could play guitar and the piano. She danced in a way that made most guys drool (not that it was hard to make guys drool I mean seriously) Hip hop was her favorite. But the thing that was truely her art, her passion was the theater. She had even tried her hand at writing her own screen play, she was good but not nearly as good as her twin.

The other calmer girl was Hayden. She and Gracie were the same and yet very different. They were interested in the same things the same kind of music, both took dance since they were old enough to walk. Both were brilliant when it came to school, but as was said before Hayden was Calm while Gracie was had over flowing amounts of energy. She never seemed to be able to sit down,

Hayden was the true writer of the family. She had found a website a few years back, Fanfiction . net or something like that over the years she had written several stories for Harry Potter, NCIS, and CSI. Now though he had started working on her own book. Hayden was also on the soccer tea along with Gracie and her younger brother. Both of her siblings were very good but Hayden was the sports star of the family she played soccer, tennis, ran track, and her freshman year she tried her hand at soft ball. But she didn't like it much.

Chris was the middle ground of the two of them he was energetic and crazy but he was also calm and smart just like his parents and just like his older sisters. He had an air of confidence that eluded most people twice his age and was probably on of the most handsome guys in the school not that he let it all get to his head he was impossibly nice to everyone.

The three teenagers shared the surname Shepherd.

The Shepherd's, were known for three things

brains: They were impossible smart.

2. Their Personalties. They where charismatic and nice to everyone they met, between their looks and the money their parents made you would think that they would be stuck up snobs, not so much.

3. There bond. They were very close and not just the twins. Chris was rarely seen without his sisters by his side. And if you messed with one of them you messed with all of them.

The same was true about, Jamie Karev, Jordan Hunt, Ella Sloan. Though the only one that was related to the Shepherd's was Ella, they all claimed to be cousins. Jamie and Ella were Juniors. Both were sixteen. The twins were seniors and seventeen. Chris and Jordan at fifteen, where both Sophomores.

"Hunt! Sloan! Karev!" Gracie yelled coming at an erupt stop right in front of Jamie.

"Shepherd!" The three other teenagers yelled.

"Haven't seen you guys in like two days?!"

"I know!" Jamie laughed "it's been forever"

"Yes just way too lon- HEY!" there was a sharp pain in her butt telling her that someone had just grabbed iy. When she turned around, she saw Aaron her ex-boyfriend smirking at her. Her hand reared back to slap him across the face but before she could even move Chris had beat her to it Aaron was stumbling backwards holding his nose. Jordan slammed him against the grey stone walls and pressed his forearm against his throat.

"Jordan! Chris! Cut it out!" Gracie yelled but to no anvil the ignored her.

" What's going on here?" Mr. Sanchez the school's principal asked.

Jordan let go of Aaron and backed away. His face was bright red with anger fist clenched. Chris also backed away his face was also contorted in anger. No one answered.

"Will someone please answer me!"

Aaron spoke up. "Shepherd hit me sir. And then Jordan pushed me against the wall. "

"Hell yeah I hit him. He grabbed Gracie's ass."

"I can take care of myself Chris!" again the ignored her.

"Is this true Mr. Moore?" Aaron just glared at Gracie Chris and Jordan.

"Alright, Mr. Moore, Shepherd and Hunt my office now lets go."

Chris groaned was he really going to get in trouble for defending his sister? Not that he regretted it. It was no secret that the Shepherd clan had hated Aaron ever since last year when Gracie came home with a dark swollen bruise under her right eye. It was just Gracie's luck that not only her brother and dad had been home when she came home but also her uncle Mark and Alex. It was all she could do to keep them in the house and away from Aaron. It's safe to say though that if he does get injured in any way it would probably be best that he go to mercy west rather then Seattle Grace.

Gracie although not called upon to do so fallowed the three boys and Principal to his office. There was no way that she was going to let her brother and cousin get in trouble for this or at least not anything that could go on their permeant record.

"Go ahead with out me guys I'll see you in class." Gracie said to the others that remained by the lockers looking angry at what had just happened. But they nodded all the same and headed in the opposite direction to there classes.


"What were you thinking Chris?"Derek asked pacing the length of the very small office.

"I was thinking that, that guy he grabbed my sisters ass I was thinking that last year wont happen again Dad!"

"He what?"

"We were all hanging out at our lockers when Aaron came up and grabbed her butt and I wasn't going to let him get away with it!"

Derek's jaw clenched visibly his hands went to fist you could see the muscle in his jaw ripple in anger his face was quickly turning red from lack of breathing. Gracie rushed over to her dad and put her small hands on his forearms.

"Daddy please calm down, Chris already punched him in the nose. He got what he deserved."

Derek took a deep breath plastered on a clearly fake smile for Gracie's benefit, and kissed her on the forehead. "Don't worry princess I'm under control. I'll see you at dinner. Chris come on." He motioned for his son to fallow him out to the car.

After the principal chewed all three boys out Chris and Jordan were suspended for the rest of the day. Alex had already been there to pick up Jordan. Aaron on the other hand couldn't return to school for the rest of the week.

As Gracie was leaving the office for her double period of drama when she was stopped by the guidance counselor, Mrs. Cast.

"Gracie do you mind coming by my office for a minuet? I would like to have a word with you."

Gracie smiled at her and nodded. When they got to her office Hayden was sitting opposite of the mahogany desk in a fluffy comfortable looking chair Gracie gave her a look that clearly said 'what the hell' and sat in the chair beside her.

"Girls I asked you in my office today to tell you a bit of good news. Gracie I just got a call back from New York School of Drama, you've been accepted for the spring semester."

"Are you serious?" Gracie exclaimed. "I got in? I really seriously got in?" She was fidgeting in her seat with excitement.

Mrs. Cast laughed, "Yes Gracie you got in, why you didn't apply sooner I will never know but they said they where more then pleased to have such a talented young lady in there school."

Gracie looked at her sister and it was clear why she hadn't applied sooner the idea of moving across the country away from her sister scared her to death. Suddenly despite the excitment of getting into such and amazing school she was sad but she knew that now that she had been accepted no matter how painful it was going to be on the two girls Hayden wasn't going to let her pass it up.

"As for you Hayden, You have been accepted to intern for the spring and summer at the Jeffersonian with Dr. Temperance Brennan."

She looked just as excited as her sister had only moments before. "But don't I have to graduate first?"

"Well according to your transcript you have the opportunity to graduate in December."

"Oh wow." Hayden said under her breath. "And It's only about four hours away from were Gracie will be so we could see each other every weekend."

"And spring break." Gracie added.

"Are we really going to do this Emma?" Hayden asked using gracie's first name like she always did when she was a little scared."

"How couldn't we Marie? This is too good to pass up."

"You're right."

"I always am little sister."

"On by like three minuets."

"Five." Gracie corrected.

Hayden rolled her eyes. "Mom and Dad are going to flip."

"Do you think they'll let us?"

"They have to like you said, it's to good to let pass up."

"Oh wow I can't believe this is really happening."

"I know me either."
