Chapter 10
Grace’s P.O.V
‘Okay everyone let’s get a scooching to the mall am needing some retail therapy’ Tre yelled, I think he was getting a little too excited.
‘Okay c’mon it’s only a short walk’ Billie clapped his and shoowed us away with his hands, signalling us to leave the bus,
‘Awww Mike you never told me we had to walk!’ Tre whined like a child, it made me giggle
‘It’s cool Tre, it won’t take long’ Mike reassured him, Tre just sighed and ran to my side,
‘Hey Grace! Hook a duck’ I looked round confused to find Tre with his arm as if he wanted me to link with him,
‘Hook a duck?’ I laughed linking with Tre
‘Yeah because it’s like the hook a duck game, am the duck and you’re the hook’ he looked at me with a massive cheesy grin, I just rolled my eyes and laughed
Mike’s P.O.V
Tre seemed to get along really well with Grace, it was nice to see him so happy, I mean he is always happy, like all the time but this time he had someone he could share it all with, me and Billie can only take so much. Tre’s a great friend though and he is hilarious, but he’s hyper 24/7, its just how he is.
Me and Billie were walking a little way back from Tre and Grace, and I could tell there was something wrong with him,
‘Hey Billie, what’s up man, you’ve been acting a little off’ I decided to confront him about it, besides he’s my best friend, if there was something wrong maybe I could help.
‘Ummm, it’s just Grace y’know?’ he sounded quite down,
‘Why? She’s having a great time’ I was confused, I mean she was, she was constantly laughing and joking,
‘Yeah I know she is now…’ what did he mean now? I know she had a shitty life before but she alright now
‘Yeah… so what’s the problem?’ I was still confused
‘There’s more to her story’ at this point he was looking down at his feet,
‘Like?...’ I trailed off expecting him to enlighten me
‘I don’t really want to talk about it’ there was something defiantly wrong
‘You can tell me’ i placed my arm round his shoulder as a joke
‘I know, I know… it’s just… she showed me what Dan did to her, she has bruises and cuts all over her body, that bastard used to beat her Mike!’ wow I wasn’t expecting that, my stomach dropped at the thought of Grace being thrown round and hit, I looked at Billie he looked so upset. I found it difficult to speak at first; I just couldn’t bear the thought,
‘I-I don’t know what to say! How could anyone do that?’ I was shocked and you could hear it in my voice,
‘I don’t know Mike… I just don’t know, I feel so bad for her’ Billie just hung his head looking down
‘Well she’s safe now! She has us, and we’re going to spoil her like crazy!’ I smiled and Billie returned my smile,
‘Yeah we are!’ he looked happier but I could still tell he was worried about her
Tre’s P.O.V
