Chapter Fifty-Four

Grace

"Sam," I yelled as I ran around the house to find him. "Where is he?" I asked myself.

"Grace," Paul said. "What's wrong?"

"I can't find Sam. I have looked everywhere for him. I'm worried, I didn't see him when I woke up and-"

"Grace, breath, he went walking before you woke up."

"He's still out?"

"Yes, you know he likes nature."

"Ok, I'll go find him thank you." I ran out of the house and ran down our dirt driveway. I saw a figure walking up the road, I knew it was Sam. I ran to him and jumped into his arms. I put my hand on the back of his head. "You scared me so much, gosh Sam leave a note or something."

"Sorry, Grace calm down. Breath, I'm here, sorry, sorry."

"I just get worried about you," I said looking up at him. Sam kissed me and we walked home together. He kissed the top of my head when we were almost home.

"Love you," Sam said. I looked up at him.

"Love you too. Sam I forgot to tell you, we are seeing your parents tomorrow. Something changed about visiting changed so tomorrow is the only good time."

"Grace, I'm sorry, if you don't want to go now because the plans changed-"

"Sam, I want to go, its ok."

"Really?"

"Yes Sam, I want to go, you have seen my parents billions of times, and I want to see your parents once." Sam wrapped me in his arms and kissed my forehead.

"Ok," He whispered. When we walked in Rebecca was sitting on the couch listening to someone's IPod. I didn't think she had one; maybe Cole let her listen to it. I walked over and picked her legs up sat on the couch and put her feet on my lap. She looked up at me and smiled, taking one ear bud out she reached for her water bottle that sat on the coffee table behind her.

"Hello," She said sitting up.

"Hi, how are you today?" I said.

"Fine, Cole let me listen to his music." She shook the iPod.

"Cool, hey I'm putting you in charge tomorrow."

"What? Why?"

"Sam and I are going out for the whole day. So even though I have never done this you can be in charge of everyone."

"Oh, well in that case I'm honored. Thank you," She said looking at me, she tipped her head back and looked at Sam who was eating a snack cake.

"You're welcome," He said with a hand over his mouth as he talked with his mouth full.
