Hi guys, new chapter sorry if it's a bit rubbish I've been sent home from school so passing the time by updating
Grace's POV
1 week later...
It's been a week, one week where I have not been able to have ANY form of contact with mum. No calls, texts, emails or Skype calls. I've had enough of it. Dad doesn't treat me nicely anymore, I now also have bruises and scars where he's hurt me and I absolutely hate him for it. I now have to find a way for them to be covered up, along with scars that will be with me forever.
Connie's POV
It's been a week since I've heard from Grace, she normally contacts me daily. I'm getting worried. Jacobs tried to calm me down, but this is just too unusual.
Grace's POV
Dad said that I could go to one of my friends houses for tea. I really just wanted to get out of the house. My friend, Emmalyn, is a really good singer-she also tells me I am too. So today we are going to her house and learning a song for a competition at school, where if we win, we get to have it recorded. I really want to tell my mum, but of course dad won't let me.
After school...
Emma's mum picked us up (A/N: Emma is short for Emmalyn) and we went straight into her room.
"So what song should we do?" I asked her.
"I was thinking of an Ella Eyre song. I don't know which one though." Emma replied.
-X- it had took a while to decide on a song, but we'd decided on Even If. It's one of out favourite songs, so we only had to figure out who was doing what part of the song. After we had run through it once or twice we decided to show her mum and dad.
[Emmalyn]
I took it all for granted
I know what I did
What I've become
But even you
You did some damage
All of those things
That you used to say
[Grace]
It's funny how
The bigger deal
It's smaller now
Smaller than it was before
But baby now I figured out
That all that we could talk about
Was more than more
Even if we'll never find the time
And even if we'll never get it right
I know I am glad I was able
To be by your side
And even if the stars can't align
You know where I am
You know where I am
[Emmalyn]
We've never had it easy
But you had your ways
And I sure had mine
And only you could ever see it
See through the walks
That I hide behind
[Grace]
It's funny how
The bigger it gets
It's nothing now
Nothing how it was back then
If only I have realised
That all that we have compromised
Was all real
Even if we'll never find the time
And even if we'll never get it right
I know I am glad I was able
To be by your side
And even if the stars can't align
You know where I am
You know where I am
[Both]
But all that could matter
Is still somewhere here
Pieces were scattered
Some are still near
I said I would never
Hold on to you
But you hold on to me
[Grace]
Even if we'll never find the time
And even if we'll never get it right
I know I am glad I was able
To be by your side
And even if the stars can't align
And even if the stars can't align
-X-
I really felt ill once we had stopped singing. All I could remember is Emma's mum coming up to me and hugging me, then I blacked out
i highly recommend listening to Even If by Ella Eyre. Such a sad and heartfelt song.
