Hello everyone! This is my first story for Embassy Row! I have a bunch of other stories for a whole assortment of books and shows ranging from Percy Jackson to My Hero Academia to the Selection Series to the Gallagher Girls (Most of my stories are about Gallagher Girls). I have loved writing about everything else, and I was sad to see the lack of fics for Embassy Row because it is one of my favorite series in existence! I decided to finally start putting this story out after a lot of consideration, because its kind of dark. I'll do a whole synopsis below but it deals with a whole host of other issues than just Grace's mental health. This is a trigger warning, this story could spark something awful in people, I can't say exactly what the trigger is though without ruining the whole plot line, so if you have triggers this is probably the time to leave. I'll leave you all with a synopsis, thank you for reading if you stick around and I hope you like my version of See How They Run: See As I Run
When Spencer steals a kiss from Grace in the woods, that is not the start or the extent of his cruelty, he does more. When Alexei finds out he gets angry, much angrier than Grace has ever seen him before, and he starts to scare her. Jamie stops the fight, but starts it again himself when he finds out what his so called "friend" did to his little sister. Grace watches in horror, unable to move or speak or try to stop them until Lila breaks up the fight and sends everyone home. Jamie and Alexei threaten to kill Spencer and then leave him on the island while they take Grace home. When Spencer is later found dead, the pair become the prime suspects, old friends who plotted to murder the man who assaulted their respective sister and girlfriend. Grace struggles with trust in people afterward, while also working to keep her brother and her boyfriend hidden away and solving Spencer's murder to clear their names.
