1 I first started writing this story before "Experience is the Teacher" so
the chapters before this are before that and this chapter starts one week
after that.

3 3 Weeks Later
Grace sat in her room reading. Actually she was reading the book Mr. Dimitri had given her. She had read that book everyday for the past week. In the past three weeks Grace had found out her stepbrother loved her, she had gone out with Mr. Dimitri, and ruined his life. She had gotten him fired.
~ I hate myself for what I did.
She sat there crying. She cried because she missed him and because she felt it had been her fault that he had gotten fired.
KNOCK, KNOCK
"Grace is it okay if I come in?" Eli asked lightly from the other side of the door.
"Um… Yeah, sure. Just a minute."
She scrambled to dry her face and make herself presentable.
"Um… the door's unlocked."
Eli came in and sat on the edge of her bed. He didn't want to be any closer. He was afraid of what might happen if he got closer to her.
"Hey, how've you been?" He asked, longing to hold her and make her feel better.
"I've had better days."
She couldn't look him in the eye. She knew how much this must be hurting him. When her family had found out about Mr. Dimitri she had caught him crying to Jessie.
~ He really loves me doesn't he?
"Do you want some ice cream or something to make it feel better?"
This made her smile. Eli always knew how to do that.
"No Eli, I'm fine. We could talk, though. During times like this, I really wish I had a good friend."
"Well that's what I'm here for, to be the best friend I can be."
This was really killing him. She looked so sad, he just wanted to tell her that he could be her savior. He knew that if he told her how he felt she would feel guilty. He didn't want that, he just wanted to be there for her. He reached over to her and gave her a big hug. When they let go she reached over to him and kissed him.
"I'm sorry for how I've hurt you." She whispered into his ear.
Please tell me what you think. Review, criticize, do whatever you want. Just tell me if you like it.
