| K. GRACE TURNS TO HER STEP-SIBLINGS Grace bursts into Eli�s garage room. �You have to help me.� She finds Eli talking to Jessie. �Oh, sorry.� Jessie excuses herself, �Uh, n-no, it�s okay. I�ll just leave.� �No, stay. You may as well, you probably heard all about it today anyway.� Eli turns around. �Heard all about what?� Grace says, �Oh, she hasn�t told you yet? I�m having an affair�with Mr. Dimitri.� Eli gasps, �Wha-at?� Jessie interrupts. �Eli, that�s not helping.� Grace paces. �I can never go to school again. Ever.� Eli gets up from the bed. �Are you serious?? I mean, do you realize how old he is?� �Shut up!� Grace barks. Jessie gets up from the floor. �Eli, maybe you should just leave.� He protests. �Nya-uh, this is my garage.� �Leave, Eli!� Grace orders, pointing her arm toward the door. �Fine,� Eli slinks out, casting a look back. Grace lets out a breath, covers her eyes, and falls backward on the bed. Jessie sits down next to her and Grace turns on her side, facing away from her. �So, are people like really talking about this?� Grace asks. �No, no, not that much,� Jessie lies. �Now he�s in trouble. I got him in trouble. Which is just the worst feeling!� Grace sits up. �I can�t take this feeling! And now he won�t talk to me at all.� She looks back at Jessie. �What am I going to do?� Jessie comforts Grace. �It�ll be okay.� She puts her hand on Grace�s shoulder. �We�ll figure something out.� Grace nods slightly and sighs. ------ (Later) Grace sits typing at her computer. She nods at the screen and smiles. |
