It's been awhile, I know. I was forced to put some sort of social life
into my meaninglessly pathetic existence. That meant no time to be on
the computer. But, I'm back with the aftermath, and a big twist!!
P.S. Sorry it's so short.
(The next morning, Grace awakes in Eli's arms. He is looking at her with a concerned look on his face. He brushes her hair out of her face.
ELI: Are you all right? I mean, with everything?
GRACE: I have to tell the lawyers that he didn't rape me.
ELI: Grace, it's not going to help him. I mean, you were only seventeen, they might still consider it statutory rape.
GRACE: I didn't even think.
ELI: Grace, I mean, were you guys, you know, careful? (Grace gets a scared look in her eyes. Eli can see through them, and he knows. God help him, he knows.) How late are you?
GRACE: Just a week.
ELI: Do you want to buy a home test?
GRACE: Oh God, what if I am? Then, what if it's yours, or his?
ELI: It won't be mine. We used protection both times. (She gives him a look.) Oh, God, what are we gonna do?
GRACE: Well, in the time period it would be his.
ELI: Grace, he did, kind of, you know, take advantage of the situation.
GRACE: I know, but I didn't help. ( Eli hung his head as he go up. His hair was a mess, but still there was some resemblance of happiness in his eyes.)
ELI: Gracie, you don't understand us guys. It's like what I just did-
GRACE: Now, hold on! Eli, I needed this, it wasn't about you. It was about trying to tell the difference between a mistake and, I don't know, something else. Okay, I had something really poetic, but now I don't. Eli. Come on. That night here, we were out of it. It was a mistake. With Augustus, we were desperate and needed to say goodbye. It was a mistake. Last night, (he hung his head even further, happiness disappearing from his eyes and being replaced by fear. She looked him in the eyes and stood on the bed.) Last night was about finally having something go right in what seems to be a very screwed up world. It wasn't a mistake. ( As they kiss, Eli's door opens. They find themselves looking into a pair of very angry eyes.)
And, I had to leave a cliffhanger. Who walked in, bonus points for whoever guesses it!
I know you hate me, so review! Please! Reviews give me energy. Energy to write more chapters faster. (HINT HINT)
