Chapter Twenty
Sam
While Grace stayed home with Isabel and Lori, Paul, Cole, and I went to the jewelry store to return the rings. We walked in, and walked to the counter. Cole acting like a child wanted to ring the bell, which sat all shiny and new on the counter. A woman walked into the room after Cole pressed the bell over and over again.
"How can I help you?" the woman asked.
"Well my girlfriend was in a car accident and she lost her legs, we were all planning on returning the rings so that I have enough money to buy her prostatic legs," I answered.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, well that will be," the woman said grabbing the three boxes, "nine thousand dollars that I will get right now." The woman walked into a room while Cole and Paul looked at the rings and the necklaces. "Sorry for the wait, here lone hundred, two hundred…." She counted out the nine thousand dollars and we left.
"Sam will Grace be ok? I mean, I know that the worst is probably over but what else will she have to go through? She's had such a hard with her parents, and her being a wolf, and having troubles with you," Cole said.
"What do you mean, troubles with me?" I asked.
"Well you being a wolf for all that time, and you and her, well in the same bed together-" Paul kicked Cole's ankle and he shut up.
"Stop it," Paul whispered even though I could hear it.
Grace
Sam was acting suspicious this morning I didn't know why.
"Grace what's wrong?" Lori asked.
"Nothing, why?"
"Well you seem to have been acting strange this morning, is it because Sam left early?"
"Well, maybe a little, I just wanted to know where he is going."
"All I know is it's for you Grace," Isabel yelled from the kitchen.
"Oh, well then I should be happy, shouldn't I?
"I think so," said a voice that sounded rather familiar to me, that I hadn't heard in a long time, Rachel! "How are you feeling? I got on a plane and flew down here as soon as I could."
"I'm fine don't worry. How are you?"
"Well the same as always, I dated a guy, he spoke American which was good but he always French kissed me. It was a fail, but super cute," she took her phone out of her pocket and showed me a picture of him, thin, trim, black hair, and soft green eyes.
"Impressive," I said.
"His hand were so soft, like a babies butt,"
"Too far and how do you know what that feels like?"
"I don't know I thought it was an expression,"
"Whatever," I said as the front door flew open and Sam, Cole, and Paul walked in the door.
"What is she doing here?" Sam asked.
"She has a name," Rachel said standing up.
"She's a feisty one, huh Grace?" Cole said.
"Why does Cole St. Clair live with you Grace?" Rachel asked turning towards me.
"I told you that we lived with a lot of different people, before you left." I said shrugging. Sam put his scarf on the counter and sat on the couch next to me.
"One how did you get on the couch and two why is Rachel here?"
"One like every girl does when their boyfriend doesn't wait to say goodbye and just leaves the house, they crawl, and two I don't know she just walked in and sat down and told me about her ex-boyfriend and stuff."
"Really Grace crawling, sorry about that I didn't mean to hurt you, poor thing. Is she staying with us too?"
"Sam I really don't know, just ask her for yourself." Sam got up and looked at Rachel standing, talking to Cole.
Rachel
It was so nice to see Grace; even without legs she still looked good.
"Rachel, why are you here?" Sam said pulling me away from everyone.
"What, I'm not allowed to see how my only best friend is doing, she almost died and Olivia died. I've had too much happen in my life, I can't lose Grace." I started to tear up but I wiped the tears from my eyes.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know how much you guys were friends." He said apologetically.
"That's ok the boy," I said as I ruffled his hair. He shooed my hand away and picked up his scarf. He walked over to Grace and whispered something in her ear. He picked Grace up into his arms and they walked into their room.
"So how's it going?" Cole asked leaning on the wall.
"Fine?" What's his problem?
"Rachel how dare you hit on my Cole?" Isabel said stomping over to where we were.
"Your Cole?" Where they a thing? "Are you dating, wow I knew you were popular but not like this,"
"We aren't just dating," Cole spoke up,
"Your married? I don't see a ring."
"No," Isabel yelled, "Were engaged, that's all."
"Still I don't see a ring,"
"If I tell you something you promise you won't tell Grace." Cole whispered.
"Fine,"
"Sam returned his, ours, and Paul and Lori's engagement rings, so he can get enough money to buy Grace's prosthetic legs."
"How much are they?"
"Six thousand each."
"So all of you are engaged?"
"All except for Sam and Grace."
