"Eli wait." Grace said as she ran after him.
"Grace... please just leave me alone." He said not facing her.
"I can't." She said.
"Then learn how to." He said annoyed.
"Eli, please just look at me." She said as walked closer to him.
"Grace, I'm going to ask you one more time, please leave me alone." He said with anger.
"And I'm going to say for the last time, I'm not going to leave you alone."
He turned around and faced her. "Ok, fine if you want to stay then you can but let's get a few things straight, one: you do not know what I'm going through..."
"But..." She started to say.
"You don't know what I am feeling and you can't not help me." He said mad.
"You know what that's fine because I don't want to help you anymore especially if you're going to be such a jerk!" She screamed. "And I don't want to wear your stupid lock any more either!" She said and threw it at him. Then she ran inside.
Eli picked up the lock and held it tight in his hands as tears started to fall. "Well at least you didn't see me cry."
Karen was sitting at her desk trying to work on her newest case. There was not a chance that she was going to get anything done because she just kept thinking about Henry. There was a knock at her door. She looked up. "Yes?"
"Are you Karen Sammler?" The guy asked.
"Yes." Karen said curious.
"Ok then this is for you." The man said as he gave her a signal rose and a note.
"Thank you." She said smiling and the man left. Karen smelt the rose. It smelt so wonderful. She opened the note and read it.
Karen,
I was having trouble working today and was hoping you were having the same problem. So I sent you this rose and a note to remind you that I'm thinking about you. Call me on my cell phone when you get this message and we will make plans.
Henry
Karen put down the note with a smile and picked up the phone.
"Zoe, Jessie let's go!" Grace screamed up the stairs.
Lily and Rick walked up to her. "Are you ok?" Lily asked.
"Zoe, Jessie we're going to leave with out you if you don't get you butts down here!" Grace screamed again ignoring Lily.
Lily took a closure look at Grace. "You've been crying." Lily pointed out.
Jessie and Zoe came down. "Finally, Eli's out side waiting for us. Let's go." She as they headed out side leaving Rick and Lily standing there.
"Rick, she's been crying." Lily told him sadly.
"I can see that but I don't think she wants to talk to you about it. She made that very clear." Rick said.
"I should go after her and find out what's wrong." Lily said as she started to move.
He grabbed her arm. "We have to wait, remember." He said.
She frowned. "Right, we wait…" She said sadly as she leaned up against him.
Jake was working at in his office looking at the next shipment when Judy came in.
"You do know you have to write something down to finish that?" Judy asked as she sat down next to him.
"What?" He asked as he looked up.
"I was pointing out to you that you need to write something down on the shipment sheet." Judy said.
"I know that." He said.
"Right, well you've been in this office working on this for the last hour and you still haven't written anything down. What's wrong?" She asked.
"Judy, I'm sorry to sound rude but I'm not about to talk to you about what's going on with my life." He said annoyed.
"Fine, but if you can please finish this before the day ends." Judy said as she got up and left.
Jake looked down at the shipment again. He was not thinking about it, he could not. He was thinking about Tiffany and Maddie. He wanted to be a part of their lives but he was not sure he could tell Tiffany that.
"Ok everyone take a handout." The teacher said as she passed out the information.
Grace had not heard any of it what the teacher had been saying. She took a hand out and passed it back.
Katie taped Grace on the shoulder. "You going to be bringing Eli?" Katie asked.
"What?" Grace asked shocked by the mention of Eli's name.
"You're going to take him the dance? I'm going to be bringing Jessie." Katie said smiling.
"What dance? Katie, what are you talking about?" Grace asked confused.
"I'm talking about prom. You know the dance we have been talking about this whole class." Katie said a little confused.
Grace looked down at the sheet in her hand. "Prom, of course. I forgot. And I'm probably not going to be going. As for you and Jessie you might want to make sure she tells Tad before you make plans." Grace said.
"I will but I thought you and Eli were dating. You are aren't you?" Katie asked.
The bell rang.
"I don't actually know any more." Grace said as she grabbed her books.
"Too bad Mr. Dimitri can't go with you. I guess you'll be going stag." One of the girl told Grace.
"Just ignore them." Katie said.
"You probably won't even go." The other one said.
"Don't hold you breath." Grace said as she tired to leave.
Katie followed her. "So you are going with Eli." Katie said.
"Great." Jessie said as she came up behind her.
"I never said that. You know there are other guys in this world other than Eli." Grace said as she slammed her locker shut.
"Yeah but you don't love any of them like you love my brother." Jessie said.
"Sometimes Jessie love just is not enough." Grace said as she walked off.
Eli looked at another book as he put it on the shelf. He was not thinking about what he was doing he was thinking about Grace. He had been thinking about her since he got there.
"Eli, you know you've been putting that one box up for the last hour." Judy said as she came up behind him.
"What?" He asked shocked to hear her voice.
"I'm just suggesting that you go a little fast." Judy said.
"Oh, ok I'll try." He said and went back to start putting up the books.
"Eli, are you ok?" Judy asked.
"I'm fine." He said as he tired to ignore her.
"I don't believe you." She said.
"And I don't care if you believe me or not Judy because I'm doing what I'm suppose to do so can't you just leave me alone." He said annoyed.
"Fine, you and Jake should work together and leave the rest of the work to us. We get more done that way." Judy mumbled as she walked off.
