Disclaimer: I don't own the mentalist, if I did I wouldn't work, unfortunately I do though, which postpones my updates
A/N well, sorry for the wait, I was distracted by town and writing the butchers red knife. I couldn't sleep last night, so what do I do? Watch mentalist episodes =] forgot to mention koezh in my last chapter, the cellphone was her idea (btw red childhood is her story and amazing!) =] paramore was just in NZ I wanted to go but couldn't =[ garr. Anyways, read and review!
Grace felt as if the whole world was falling in around her as she walked across the quad towards the cafeteria. The walk was short, yet it felt as if it took forever. She shook as she approached him and couldn't bring herself to look him in the eye.
'Grace' he started
'I'm sorry' she said throwing herself at him
He held her tightly, he never wanted to let her go, she sobbed into his chest, feeling whatever was left of her makeup smudging off onto his shirt.
'No, don't be sorry, it is my fault, I should've had my phone on me, I am sorry Grace, I wouldn't do that to you'
'I know, it's just it was so real, the whole sim card thing'
'Yea, I wouldn't have picked up on it either'
'Wayne?' she said
'Yea?'
'I love you'
'I love you too'
She bent her head up and met his lips with her own, he pulled away and cradled her head in his hands and then pulled her in for another kiss. Teresa, Cho and Jade backed away towards Patrick to give them privacy.
'Well, what do you know, they are inseparable' Patrick said
'And? She was hurt, she is vulnerable, of course she is going to cling to him'
'It seems to me that you are jealous? Am I right?'
'No, it's just'
'Just what?'
'Ok, maybe I am'
'Aw, there, there Teresa, come here, I will hug you if you want'
'No, I want sympathy from that pole' she said sarcastically
'Well, don't say I didn't offer'
'You didn't offer'
'Ok, now you are leaving me hanging' he said, his arms still open wide
'God, you are a pain' she said walking over and hugging him
'Still jealous?'
'Nope' she said
The three couples stayed outside for a bit longer before they heard the music coming out of the auditorium and went back in to dance in a group, but making a quick pit stop at the cheerleaders table.
'Hey Wayne' Brianna said, flirting with him, before seeing Grace.
'Hey Brianna'
'Grace, have you checked your phone recently?' she asked
'Yea, as a matter of fact I have, and Wayne has something to give to you'
'Do say'
'I believe this belongs to you' he said putting the sim card in her hand
'I don't understand' she stammered
'Don't bother, we have Patrick on our side, and can I please have my sim card back' he said
'Fine' she said, pulling it out of her bra
'Um, thanks' he said confused
'Oh come on, I don't have any pockets' she said
'I don't want to know' he said walking off, arm around Grace
'Can I wash it?' he said
'It would break at'
'So, it has been down her top'
'Here, give it' she said shoving it down her own top and bringing back out 'Happy now?'
'Um, sure' he said grinning, putting it back into his phone
'Come on, there is Teresa and Patrick, and oh my god they are kissing'
'Where, I wanna see!' he exclaimed
'There, by the third blue light along on the right'
'My right or your right'
She hit him lightly 'We are standing the same way'
'Oh, so we are, but I still can't see them'
'Follow my finger' she said pointing to them
'Oh!' he said spotting them
'Aw, aren't they cute' she said
'So are you' he said squeezing her
They went over to Teresa and Patrick as Cho and Jade came over too.
'Hey, want to dance?' she said to them
'Yea' Teresa said and they went out to dance to I got a feeling
'I got a feeling, that tonight's gonna be a good night, that tonight's gonna be a good night tonight's gonna be a good, good night' they yelled in time to the music and moshed up the front.
They danced, got their pictures taken and ate food that the waiters and waitresses brought around until the DJ announced it was the last song, stolen, by dashboard confessional. Grace's favourite song of all time. Wayne pulled her close and she lent her head against his chest
We watch the season pull up its own stakes
And catch the last weekend of the last week
Before the gold and the glimmer have been replaced,
Another sun soaked season fades away
You have stolen my heart
Invitation only, grand farewells
Crash the best one, of the best ones
Clear liquor and cloudy eyed, too early to say goodnight
You have stolen my heart
And from the ballroom floor we are in celebration
One good stretch before our hibernation
Our dreams assured and we all, will sleep well
You have stolen
You have stolen my heart
I watch you spin around in your highest heels
You are the best one, of the best ones
We all look like we feel
Wayne spun her around, just as the song said, and watched her mouthing along to the words.
You have stolen my
You have stolen my heart
'I love you' he said
'You too' she said back
'Ok folks, that is all we have time for tonight, imma ask you to start heading home, who wants to be at school anyway?' he said
'I better head home' Teresa said
'Come on, stay at mine, I'm sure mom won't mind, and your brothers probably want to come home in the middle of the night'
Teresa smiled
'Ok, thanks Grace' she smiled
They walked out the door and started the route that they walked everyday to and from school.
'I have walked this so many times, yet why is it so much different at night?' Wayne said
'Everything is different at night' Grace pointed out as Teresa's phone rang
'Teresa Lisbon?' she said
'Hello, this is constable Reuben Lake, I am afraid your father has been in a fatal accident, drink driving we believe, went down a ditch, we need you to come down to identify the body' the officer on the other end said
'Ok' she said in a small voice
'What's wrong?' Patrick asked instantly recognising something was wrong
'My father is dead' she said before collapsing on the ground in tears, everyone hugging her, wondering what she would do.
A/N for those that are worried about this story ending, don't be, I have a couple more tricks up my sleeve, moohaha! Reviews = happiness!
