AN- Eli and Grace kinda break up shhhhhh but they will eventually get back together shhhhh. Also review pllllleeeeeeeeaaaaaassssseeeeeee



Grace* That was very helpful

Eli* Was it, cause I could do it again (smiles)

Grace* I think we should talk

Eli* Your right so lets analyze, why did we kiss, how did we kiss? All those other w questions

Grace* Are you saying I over analyze things?

Eli* Yes, after all why can't it just be this?

(leans over and kisses her again)

Grace* Because what is this?

(Kisses him)

Grace* Does it mean we are "friends with benefits", "people who just kiss", "dating"? what is this?

(Kisses him once again)

Eli* This is something I have wanted for awhile, it is us realizing what we could be together then acting on it.

Grace* Wow you talk good

Eli* I know I do

Grace* Oh yeah, I have this presentation I am giving on Monday and I want you to come

Eli* Of course I'll come what time

Grace* It starts at three

Eli* Got it 3, Monday Gracie very important

Grace* E!

Eli* Fine Grace

Grace* was that so hard?

Eli* Yes

Grace* Ok so you better go mom might freak out

Eli* k bye GRACE

(Monday comes and Grace is getting ready to do her presentation but sees Eli walk in)

Grace* Eli!

Eli* Gracie, how is my little babe doing to day

(Grace looks confused, and then looks at Eli, she notices his eyes are glazed over)

Grace* E, your high

Eli* I am not

(He walks over to try and hug her)

Grace* E, go home

Eli* Are you mad?

Grace* Lets deal with this later, I have to do my presentation

Eli* I know that's why I am here, to watch

Grace* Sorry but you have to go

Eli* Fine be that way

Grace* I am not being anyway but I am not going to let you mess up my presentation

Eli* Screw you Grace

Grace* Just leave your obviously really stoned, at least I hope you are

Eli* Got to hell I am not high on anything

Grace* Right, that's it E go HOME NOW, once you've done that I suggest you leave me alone

Eli* Fine screw this

(Eli leaves & Grace does her presentation, but later we see her leave the school crying, Grace goes home and then finds Jessie who knows about her and Eli)

Jessie* what's wrong Grace?

Grace* your brother's an ass that's what's wrong.

Jessie* What'd he do this time?

Grace* Told me to go to hell, umm said "screw you" and he showed up to my presentation high.

Jessie* Your kidding right?

Grace* God, I wish I was

(she starts to cry & Jessie comes over to comfort her)

Jessie* Grace I am so sorry

Grace* He said he liked me.

Jessie* He does believe me

(Jessie waits for Grace to fall asleep then goes to find Eli, she finds him in the garage {he is no longer high})

Jessie* What the hell is wrong with you E?

Eli* You talked to her? I tried to find her but she wasn't in her room.

Jessie* I know she was in mine, don't change the subject. What the hell is wrong with you?

Eli* I screwed up Jessie, I really fucked things up.

Jessie* I know

Eli* Is there any chance she will talk to me?

Jessie* Honestly I don't think so?

Eli* Fine I will talk to her tomorrow

Jessie* You don't understand I don't think she will talk to you at ALL

Eli* Don't say that

Jessie* Eli you hurt her, again, and I think she is tired of it

Eli* I can't be perfect

Jessie* You screw up, she gives you a second chance, and this is what happens E. You don't have to be perfect but you can't hurt her over and over, no one can take that no matter how much she might care about you.

Eli* God, dammit. This can't be it, I am not ready for it to be over. I never want it to be over.

Jessie* Well it might be.

(Weeks go by Grace refuses to talk to or even look at Eli, Grace is eating in the kitchen and Eli walks in)

Eli* Morning Grace

Grace* * cough*

Eli* You sick?

(silence)

Eli* Grace you can't ignore me forever, I know I screwed up but you have to at least talk to me.

Grace* (speaks calmly) What do you want me to say? That you screwed up, that you hurt me, that you embarrassed me, that I can't trust you, that I hate you?

Eli* Don't say that.

Grace* You're the one who wanted me to talk I am not going to stop because you don't like what you hear

Eli* Grace tell me what to do, tell me how to make this better

Grace* You can't

Eli* GOD DAMMIT, NOTING I DO WILL EVER BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU, NOTHING EVER IS.

(Eli storms out, later Jessie is talking to him)

Jessie* Hey E

Eli* What do you want?

Jessie* (sarcastically) Oh, hi Jess, nice to see you, and how are you today? Good, that's great.

Eli* Sorry Jess, bad day she actually spoke

Jessie* I know she told me

Eli* What the hell are you guys like best friends or something?

Jessie* No we're sister

Eli* Fine so, what did you want to talk to me about

Jessie* Ok there was a reason Grace talked to you today

Eli* I know so she could tell me how much she hates me

Jessie* No she had to tell you something but she said she didn't have a chance since you walked out

Eli* Sorry I was pissed

Jessie* Do you wanna know what she had to tell you? It's bad news

Eli* Go ahead it can't be worse than what she did say

Jessie* Oh yes it can

Eli* Just tell me

Jessie* Grace has a date

(Eli looks shocked)

Eli* With who?

Jessie* This is worse do you know Levi Franklin

Eli* Not the football player who spends all of his time trying to get laid?

Jessie* That's the one

Eli* Grace can't do that, she can't have sex with him

Jessie* She can I think she might have

Eli* This isn't there first date?

Jessie* No

Eli* Why would Grace do that

Jessie* Because she can and I think he wasn't trying just to get laid he really likes her

Eli* It's different I am in love with her.

Jessie* It's different cause he got the girl

(Grace and Levi's date, Grace has asked why Levi tried to sleep with all his other girlfriend but not her)

Levi* I don't want to mess things up with you

Grace* It won't mess things up

Levi* It did with the other girls, but then again that could be a good thing after all I am sitting here with you

Grace* someone's changing the subject

Levi* I am not going to pressure you into doing anything

Grace* Trust me you are not pressuring me

Levi* Fine but you can back out at any time

Grace* My parents and my sisters are going out of town to visit a friend the only person who will be there besides us is my step-brother, but he lives in the garage

(the next weekend, Levi and Grace have gone on several dates, Eli doesn't know Levi is coming over. Grace and Levi are in her room and Eli is in the garage)

Levi* Grace your sure you want to do this

Grace* Yes, definitely.

Levi* Ok

( He starts kissing her and lays her on to the bed, later we see them laying next to each other)

Levi* Grace

Grace* Yeah

Levi* You are beautiful

Grace* That was wonderful

Levi* Grace I want to stay her and lie with you for days, but I have to come to work but can I come over tomorrow? I could take you out to dinner.

Grace* And we could repeat what just happened

Levi* Great beautiful.

(He stands up and starts to get dressed, by the time he has his pants on Eli is at the door)

Eli*What the hell are you doing?

Grace* E, don't

Levi* Who the hell is this?

Grace* My brother

Eli* Get the hell out of here

Levi* I have every right to be here, Grace invited me

Eli* You can't come here just to nail Grace

Levi* I didn't come here to get laid I came here because I love her

Grace* Both of you shut up, E leave.

Eli* Fine I'll leave

(starts to walk away then turns around and punches Levi. Levi starts after him then Grace stops him. Eli is gone)

Grace* Levi are you ok?

Levi* I'm fine

Grace* I wouldn't have done this if I had known he would have done this

Levi* Grace trust me coming her was worth a black eye

Grace* Finished getting dressed you have to go to work, and I have to talk to Eli

Levi* Don't talk to him he's dangerous

Grace* No he's not he's jealous

Levi* Of what?

Grace* Of you

Levi* Why would be jealous of me?

Grace* You have something he want.

Levi* What's that?

Grace* Me

Levi* I thought he was your brother

Grace* Step-brother we aren't really related, now go you'll be late

Levi* Ok by Grace

(Walks out her door then comes back)

Levi* I meant it when I said I loved you

(Grace smiles and he leaves. Grace then goes downstairs to find Eli)

Grace* WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?

Eli* I was going to ask you the same thing

Grace* What I am not allowed to have a boyfriend?

Eli* You are but your not allowed to do that, I am sure Lily would agree

Grace* You wouldn't tell her

Eli* I wouldn't?

Grace* God, do you want to hurt me that much?

Eli* I thought this whole thing was about hurting me?

Grace* Eli the world doesn't revolve around you and neither do I. I am dating Levi because I like Levi, no ulterior motive.

Eli* Then why did you sleep with him?

Grace* Because it was something I wanted to do, do you have a problem with that?

Eli* No, ok, I am sorry I just kind of always pictured your first time with me

Grace* This wasn't the first

Eli* I know Jessie said she thought you two might have, already

Grace* You don't understand this was my first time with him but I wasn't a virgin

Eli* Why didn't you tell me

Grace* Are you a virgin?

Eli* No

Grace* But why didn't you tell me?

Eli* Fine point taken who, was it?

(there is a silence)

Eli* Your right I don't have a right to ask that
