Gracie
I had been standing outside of my dad and Ashley’s house for the last twenty minutes, trying to find the courage to knock on the door. They had no idea I was coming since I broke my cell and couldn’t call them in advance to tell them.
I was freaking out since I didn’t know what to tell them. Could I tell them the truth about Ryland cheating on me, or should I say something else Maybe I could just say I didn’t want to talk about it. I didn’t want to lie to them, but I would rather my dad didn’t kill Ryland or fire him. I didn’t want that.
I wasn’t even sure if anyone was home. There was one car in the driveaway, but they could all be out in the other one. I took a deep breath, finally walking to the door and knocking on it. After doing so, I found myself regretting it. I turned and began walking away when I heard the door opening.
“Gracie,” Ashley called out. I couldn’t leave now. I drew in my breath before facing her.,
