It was monday and Grace still had not spoken to Eli. She walked into English and sat down and began to copy the notes off the board. She really didn't seem to pay much attention during class, now and then mr. Dimitri would look at her and smile. as the class was ending he called her over.

"Yes?" She asked her teacher.

"Grace i need to speak to you, but i cant now.. can u come here before you go home for the day?" he asked.

"yes sir" she answered and walked out of the room. At the house later that day Lily was on the phone with judy when Eli walked in.

"Eli can I ask you a favor?" Lily asked.

"Sure what is it?" he asked.

"I wont be able to pick Grace up from school do you think you could?" she asked as she put her hand over the phone.

"What about Jessie and Zoe?" he asked.

"Jessie is going to Katie's and I will be picking up zoe, so can you?"

"Sure i'll pick up grace"

Meanwhile at School, Grace walked into mr. Dimitri's office after the bell had rung. He was packing up his bag.

"hello grace"

"Hello sir, what is it you needed to talk about?"

"Well you are a bright young student and you have alot of.. can we walk and talk?"

"Sure" they began to walk out of the classroom and out of the school.

"I was thinking of having a few kids do sort of a extra credit project and i think you would be good at it.." he told her. Grace nodded and saw Eli waiting for her at his car. Oh no my mom sent him to get me when i'm mad at him? why am i mad at him? oh thats right he walked in on me changing...

"Mr. Dimitri.. can you drive me home?" she asked sweetly.

"Of course." they walked over to his car and got in.

"What in the hell?" Eli said as he went and climbed into his car and watched the car drive away then soon drived away himself. what the hell was that about? why does she still have to be mad at me.. I didn't mean to walk in on her topless.. Mr. Dimitri pulled into Grace's driveway. No one was home.

"Well thanks" she said.

"don't go yet.." he said as he pushed a strand of hair out of her face. "your so beautiful" What the hell is he doing..Grace thought.. He leaned in and kissed her she tried to pull away but he wouldn't let her. She finally got out of the car but he got out and grabbed her pushing her against the car. Grace began to cry not knowing what to do. he began to tug at her pants. She pulled away and she started to scream as he ripped her shirt. In the nick of time Eli drove up he jumped out of his car and ran over pushing mr. Dimitri against his car.

"I THINK IT'S TIME YOU LEAVE BEFORE I CALL THE COPS" Eli said. And he did so. Eli ran to Grace hugging her. "it's alright.. im here.. its alright" Grace just cried into his arm. Then finally pushed away and ran inside and into her room.

Alittle while later, Eli sat on his bed in his room playing his gutiar and singing a song. He didn't Know Grace was standing at half way open door listening.

"She's an angel, but she can't feel it

She got wings, she can't see 'em

She's an angel, she can't feel it

But she's flying over me every day

Every day of my life"

"that was good" she said clapping. He put down his gutiar and looked at her.

"I thought you weren't talking to me?" he asked.

"well im not.. i just wanted to thank you for saving me today.. and I do forgive you alittle.. and im sorry i kissed you.." she said.

"Its okay.. and i am sorry for walking in on you topless.. and Grace who was that guy?" he asked.

"My english teacher"

"if I ever see him doing that again.. i will kill him"

"I wont let him do that again.." she said smiling. "i'll leave ya alone for a while bye" and she walked out. He smiled I will kill him.. if he ever touches her again.. she no ones but mine.. well she's actually not even mine but i wish she could be.. to hold her in my arms.. OH my god what is happening to me.. she's my friggen step sister.. our parents are married to eachother.. ah love is tough.. wait i dont love her do i? Ah.. life is just tough..Eli thought.
