Going Solo: Grace Gen 4.17

There were lights on so that was a good sign. I hurried to the door, the fact of being out at night was weighing on me more and more by the minute. I rang the bell and nervously glanced around waiting. I rang again. Oh God what if he's not home? Just as the thought hit me, I saw him approaching through the glass. Jonas: Grace? Just like the...

Going Solo: Grace Gen 4.16

Davis: Hope...this is...wow. Hope: Yeah, I know, but it's great isn't it? Dad pulled her into a hug and Mom went over to join. They were all so happy to see her like that. Like them. She told them the story about how she came to that decision, that Caleb was willing to become human for her, but that it made more sense for her to become a vampire. Hope:...

Going Solo: Grace Gen 4.15

After my return the feelings I had of being watched were worse than ever. I hated going into town now but worse than that being at home also kept me on edge. I tried to go about my normal routine as much as possible, telling myself it was all in my head. I was a nobody, unimportant, I knew there was no way someone was really watching me. I tried...

Going Solo: Grace Gen 4.14

The wedding was beautiful. Hope looked amazing, I'd never seen her so happy. Caleb and his entire family were extremely nice and Hope seemed to fit right in. She was planning on getting a job transfer to Aurora Skies and settling down there with his family. She said it was an easy call since she didn't live near us anyway. My sister was married....

Going Solo: Grace Gen 4.13

Hope was still doing well in the competition, so well in fact she was one of two girls left. Barnacle Bay was a small town so it was no surprise her being on the show made the newspaper. Being only one of two, she was able to call and talk to us finally. She sounded happy and was really enjoying her time there. Dad wasn't keen on that, he still...

Going Solo: Grace Gen 4.12

Much to Dad's dismay, Hope was still on the show. There had been some catty moments that got Mom ticked off, especially when one of the girls slapped Hope. I'd never heard Mom get so pissed before. She started cussing, which was a shock, she never seemed to lose her temper, but she was ready to hop on the next plane to Monte Vista. It was a rare...

Going Solo: Grace Gen 4.11

When I got home I broke down into tears. Jonas had been texting and calling me since I left but I wouldn't respond. I freaked out and ran away because I'm scared of the dark. I'm a grown woman scared of the dark. I pulled out my phone to call Hope, but remembered I couldn't. Last time we spoke she told me she'd been picked to go on some reality...

Going Solo: Grace Gen 4.10

The weather was turning cooler, the leaves were starting to change. I used to love Fall for those very reasons, but not really anymore. I forced myself to ignore the negative thoughts and work on harvesting my crops before they went dormant. I missed Hope, I'd forgotten how much I liked having my sister around. To make up for the loneliness I spent...

Going Solo: Grace Gen 4.9

A few days after my afternoon with Jonas I got a call that was another moment in life I was unprepared for. Mom called to tell me Grammy Sha had a stroke while they were working in their yard. Grams had called 911, Mom was on duty when they arrived. I needed to contact Hope then get to the hospital, Dad was already on the way. The hospital, like...
