There's a knock on Grace's door. "Come in." She screams.
Zoe walks in the door. "Where's Eli?" Zoe asks as she sits down on the bed.
"He went to his mom's for the night and why do you want to know?" Grace asked.
"I just thought he'd be in here that's all. Wait you said he's going to Karen's for the night?" Zoe asked shocked.
"Yeah, I did. Why what's wrong?" Grace asked.
"Well I just… I'm shocked you didn't follow him."
"Why would I follow him?" Grace asked.
"Because well he is your better half." Zoe says.
"What are you talking about?" Grace asked annoyed.
"Eli, he's like your husband. Oh come on you had to have seen it. The two of you can't seem to sleep with out each other and well you two need other far too much." Zoe pointed out.
"Eli, my husband. Ok that's insane, Zoe. That's completely absurd. We don't need each other that much."
"Sure what ever you say Grace but when you can't go to sleep tonight, you'll see what I'm talking about." Zoe said as she started to leave the room.
"Are you doing to stay here tonight?" Tiffany asked Jake.
"I'm planning on it. That's ok with you right?" He asked.
"Actually I was hoping you would." She said smiling.
"That's a first most people in my life don't want me around." Jake said.
"Well I'm not most people and I happen to be very use to you." She said getting up.
"Oh really? How use to me are you?" He said smiling.
"So use to you that I'm going to go bed now and I'd be really happy to see you in the morning when I wake up." She said smiling and went over and gave him a kiss on the check. "Good night, Jake."
"Good night, Tiffany."
Jessie headed downstairs, grabbed her coat and headed outside. When she got outside, she saw Rick pacing. "Dad, are you ok?" She asked as she went over to him.
"I'm fine, just got back to bed, Jessie." He said as he started pacing again.
"No, you're not and I'm not leaving till I find out what's going with you." She said smiling and started pacing with him.
"Fine, then I'll tell that it's about your brother and mother." He said.
"What about them?" Jessie asked.
"You mother wants Eli to move in with her." Rick stated.
"So, what's wrong with that?" Jessie asked.
"Well for one Eli doesn't really want to."
"So then he doesn't. This doesn't sound that complicated to me, dad."
"That's true, I guess. But your mother isn't going to just let him leave the house."
"Well she kind of has to dad, he's eighteen now." Jessie said.
"I guess, that's true."
"It's and stop worrying about this. Eli can take care of himself and mom will understand if he leaves." Jessie said.
"I hope so."
"That's what will happen, so stop worrying and go to sleep." Jessie said smiling.
"Ok, thanks, Jessie." He said hugging her.
"Your welcome and good night." She said hugging him and heading back inside.
"I've lived in this house with out you before" Grace said. She was going to move on with him and there was nothing, he could do about it. She meant what she said. She didn't really need him. But Eli needed her. Damn, why did mom do this! Everything was going great with Grace and I and for the first time ever I was really caring for someone and she was caring for me. But now, Grace was fine, she didn't need him. You don't need her. He told himself. But he knew it was a lie. He did need her. Eli rolled over and looked at the clock. "4:20" He had been having nightmares the whole night about Grace. He needed to get some sleep but he didn't know how with out Grace, he was going to that.
"my mother wants me to move in with her" Those words floated around in Grace's head. He did not even try to fight it. He just did what ever she wanted. It did not matter to him that Grace need him. "Eli, he's like your husband" was what Zoe said true, had Eli and I became so close that they were like a married couple? No that cannot be. I mean sure I was dependent on him but not that much. She was lying to her self and she knew it. She needed Eli in her life. She rolled over and looked at her clock. "4:20" This night had so long. All she ever thought about was Eli. It was killing her to have to sleep with out Eli and she knew it.
