There Is No Truth In Him - Chapter 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey! Thanks for all your kindness. Here is the next chapter. Hope you like it!!!
Grace pulled her arm away from his forcefully. "What exactly did you need to talk to me about?" she asked annoyed; crossing her arms across her chest in an attempt to possibly shield her heart from more blows. Eli carefully shut the door behind him and turned to face her. Her blue eyes locked with his hazel, and her stare sent chills down his spine. "Eli?" Grace called again and broke his thoughts.
"Umm, how did your performance go tonight? I'm really sorry that I-" he began apologetically. But Grace had been let down one too many times before, and she was ready to let her mind be heard. "It's ok, Eli. I'm over it already. It's just that something better came up right?" she barked icily. Eli felt like a thousand daggers had pierced his body. Grace prepared to storm out angrily but Eli blocked the door. "No, that's not it...my mom--"
"Save it, ok. I really don't want to hear your excuses. No big deal." she said as she settled into a chair and laid her head in her hands. She let out a sigh as she brushed hair away from her face. "So we're cool?" Eli asked hopefully; expecting the matter to resolve a little too quickly. He felt uneasy, uncomfortable but relieved nonetheless. Suddenly, Grace looked up, "Why did you lie to me?" she asked bluntly.
"I really wanted to be there, I swear. I had to leave because my mom thought I was at work.." "No, about the barette. It wasn't Jessi's." Grace looked into Eli's eyes blankly; he was busted. She knew it and he knew it.
Next chapter coming soon!!! Feedback!
