So I've only had one review so far and since then I have changed the first chapter. I'd really like reviews to see how this is going. Does this seem possible or real? Thank you in advance!

Chapter Three

In the car

Grace is fiddling with the stereo and finally turns it off.

"We need to talk..." Eli glances at Grace and then back at the street.

"No. We don't."

"Can I at least say I'm sorry?"

"Alright you're sorry. I forgive you." Grace looks down at her lap and bites her lip.

"Grace,"

"Eli, if you say any more I'm either going to cry or hit you."

Eli and Grace sit in silence. The tension starts to ease for some reason and Grace begins to relax. Eli looks over at Grace and stops himself from putting his hand on her thigh. For some reason he's been getting these urges lately. Whenever he passes her in the hallway he wants to grab her arm and pull her in for a tight hug. Or when she has a milk moustache he wants to wipe it off with a kiss. When he upsets her or disappoints her all wants to do is please her, make it up to her.

B/W Eli: What kind of guy thinks this way? It's not right to have feelings for your own step-sister! (laughs slightly)

Eli parks the car in front of Jakes house and turns his face towards Grace. Grace takes a few seconds before looking back at him, trying to gain composure and not show her frustration and attraction.

"Eli, I know we have to talk but now is not the time. I can't deal with this. I have other stuff to deal with. At least with you I know we can work it out. We're friends, right? And friends stick together." Grace gives a half smile and undoes her seat belt. Eli gives a sigh of relief and offers a smirk.

"Sure, we're friends. I'll be here when you need me." Eli raises his arm and rubs his head.

B/W Grace: and I know he will be here for me. The look in his eyes tells me that. (half smiles)

"Anyway, I better go. Dad's taking me out for dinner to celebrate the end of the play. Thanks for the lift!" Grace gives a quick wave, jumps out of the car and runs to the front door. Eli follows her with his eyes and waits a couple of minutes once she's inside.

B/W Eli: Can I really have feelings for Grace? (a look of shock crosses his face)

"Ok, out with it. What's wrong?" Jake puts down his knife and fork and looks directly at Grace.

"Nothing's wrong." Grace bites her lip nervously.

"You're doing your pouting face. Something's up. I thought you'd be in a great mood. The play was a success." Jake went back to eating his steak.

"The play's over. Life goes on, Dad." Grace rolls her eyes and pokes her fork at her food. "It's just, the play's over and now all that's left is homework and school and boring stuff. It's a let down."

"Aww, honey, thing's will get better. Just give it time." Jake leans forward and strokes her face. "Is that all that's wrong? Anything else?"

"Yeah, Dad, everything's fine." Grace sighs and takes a bite of her pasta.

B/W Grace: how can I tell my Dad that I have feelings for my step-brother? (slight groan)
