Life compelled

56~Go Along

I see a shimmer in the grass while scanning the area

I walk over to it and pick up the necklace

This is has to make things ok

Brie's POV

I walk in the cafe to meet Grayson

All I want to do is tell him about Ethan. I know it'll make him happy but it's probably for the best that he doesn't know

"Hey" he greets me with a warm smile. "Hey"

I shuffle in my seat

"What's wrong?" "Nothing" He gives me a look "you suck at lying"

"I'm not lying"

Fries get brought to the table and I start to stuff my face out of nervousness

"You're doing that thing" "What thing?" I say with a mouth full of fries

"The thing where you eat to not talk about something" he laughs "Seriously what's up?"

"I can't tell you" I confuse. "Why not?" "I was told not too" "since when do you keep secrets?" He said in a sort of playful way but I could tell deep down he was serious

I try not to make eye contact but I can feel his eyes on me

My finger starts to tap on the table

"Is it about Isabella?"

My finger taps harder and faster along with my leg

"Brie you gotta tell me"

He puts his hand on mine to stop me from tapping

I look at him and I break

"Ugh fine. Ethan didn't turn his humanity off"

He looks at me in shock then at the door as it opens

I turn to see Ethan walking in

He looks at gray then me and realized what I did

He walks over "do you ever stop talking? I asked you to do one little thing and you can't even do that"

"E it's not her fault. I made her tell me" Ethan looks at him "we can help"

"I don't need help"

"You sure?"

Ethan looked at both of us, clearly irritated

He walked us to the nearest quiet area around which happened to be the parking lot

"There has to be something to bring her back" I say

"There is. You've just have to ease into it" Ethan says. "But knowing what happened last time, she'll probably threaten to do a killing spree" Grayson says

"Oh...I take it that's not ok with you guys"

We both turn to Ethan with judging looks "Relax. Relax. I have a plan. Just don't get in the way"

He explains what he had in mind

Ethans phone rings and he reaches for it "It's her" he ignores the call and walks off "don't blow this"

Isabella's POV

I sit in the couch with my legs and arms crossed
