(ok I know yall are getting annoyed about this but ok this is the final list of everyone who is going to be at the therapy: Grace, Zoe, Lily, Judy, Rick, Karen, Eli, Jessie, Jake and Tiffany)
As they pulled up to school, everyone just sat in the car not saying anything for a very long time.
Finally Eli spoke up "Jessie, why don't you go in I need to talk to Grace alone."
"Ok, but Grace I'll be waiting outside. I don't want you to go in alone." Jessie said getting out of the car.
"Thanks, Jessie." Grace said and then turned to Eli. "So what do you need to talk to me about?"
"I wanted to make sure that you're ok with going back to school." Eli said worried
"Do you want the truth?" She asked smiling.
"That would be nice." He said smiling.
"No, I'm not ok with going with going back to school but I have to eventually Eli. I don't really have a choice." Grace said seriously.
"I know you right but I also know that this is going to be very hard for you. I wish there was something I could do." Eli said.
"Just be here to being to Faith's after school, that's enough." She said as she started to get out of the car.
"Will do." He said as she closed the door.
"You ok?" Rick asked Lily was still sitting at the table drinking her coffee.
"I'm just nervous about this appointment this afternoon." Lily said worried.
"Well I will be there with you the whole thing and so will Judy." Rick said.
"Yeah Sam's is suppose to drop her off or are we going to pick up Karen?" She asked
"Yes we are but you just changed the subject and I think we need to really." Rick said seriously.
She laughed. "You noticed that huh. And I know you're right but I really don't want to talk right now actually I just don't want to have to think about it. You understand." Lily hoping he would.
"Yeah, I think I do and it's ok. Do you have to work or can we spend the day together?" Rick asked smiling.
"No, I don't and I'd love to spend the day with you. Just promise you'll try to help forget all that's happened in the last couple of days." She said smiling.
"It will be my goal for the day." He said smiling and holding her.
"First I won't you to come with some where's." She said smiling.
"Oh Mrs. Sammler, what do you have planned?" He asked smiling.
"You see." She said laughing.
Grace and Jessie walked in to school together. As soon as people saw Grace, they started whispering.
"Grace, just ignore them." Jessie said.
"I'm trying, Jessie. I just can't stand them all watching me." Grace said seriously.
"Come with me." She said pulling her into the bathroom.
"Ok, why are we in here?" Grace asked confused.
"I want you to look in the mirror." Jessie said.
"Ok, why am I looking in the mirror?" Grace asked annoyed.
"I want you to see that the person that everyone is talking about the same person that you've always been and that you're a strong person who can make it through this."
"And I suppose to see this all in the mirror?" Grace asked smiling.
"No but it's what I and everyone else see when we look at you." Jessie said smiling. "Did that help at all?"
"Not really but give me a little while. Ok?" Grace asked.
"I'll give you all the time you need." Jessie said.
The bell rang. "I think we have to go to class now." Grace said smiling.
"Ok, good luck." Jessie said as she walked to her class.
Grace walked into her English class and everyone looked up. She took the only seat left.
"I can't believe she had the nerve to come back to school after everything." One girl said that was sitting behind her.
"I know after everything that she did and getting Mr. Dimitri fired…." One of the people said back to her.
"Can you two jerks shut up! You two have done worse things, then Grace has even thought of so you can't talk." Katie, who was sitting next to Grace, said.
"Thanks." Grace whispered to her.
"It's no big deal, you'd the same for me and Jessie so…" Katie said.
"I get but still thanks." Grace said smiling.
