least while I was around her,” Brent replied stepping towards Grandpa Harris. “I told you everything that happened last night, don’t you think if she would’ve gotten hurt I would’ve told you that too. Why would I hide that from you?”
“To protect yourself, you never planned on us seeing the bruises did you?” Grandpa yelled still holding his wife in his arms.
“Grandpa, Brent is telling the truth. I slipped coming out of the shower a couple of nights ago at home. Stephan got me the makeup so I can cover up my clumsy mistake,” I said walking up to my grandfather, but stopped to address Brent. “I’m sorry my actions have caused you so many problems. I hope that you can forgive me one day.”
I then exited the room to start packing. I can’t believe that I have only been at my grandparents one day and I have managed to cause so much trouble.
There was a knock on the door.
“Come in!” I yelled never looking up as I continue to get ready to go home.
“I wanted to say bye before you left, I hope that’s okay,” Brent said walking towards me.
“Yes it’s okay and I’m sorry again for almost getting you arrested, embarrassing you at the party and throwing up on your shirt,” I said putting my head down in shame.
I waited for him to say something else but he didn’t. So I decided to find out as much about him as I could before returning home.
“So, was the rude girl from the party your girlfriend or something?”
“She’s my ex-girlfriend and as you can see, she has a pretty nasty attitude,” he responded picking up my notebook.
I rushed and grabbed it away from him.
“Dang girl, I wasn’t going to steal it. I was just looking in it.”
“I didn’t mean to snatch it, it’s just that it’s my poetry notebook and I’m not ready to share my poetry with anyone yet.”
“That’s cool I understand, I write too. Maybe one day we can sit down and compare poems,” he responded as he stood to leave. “Here’s my number just in case you want to discuss poetry or just to get know each other better as friends.”
I happily accepted his number and waited for him to leave the room before doing my happy dance. I can’t wait to go home and tell Justice about my luck. I grabbed my phone to add Brent’s number to it and realized it died over night. I plugged up the phone and turned it back on expecting messages from Amber being worried about me. To my surprise, no txt messages from Amber just a lot from my mom and dad.

Within thirty minutes Stephan was outside blowing the horn.
Grabbing my bag I walked out the guest room and out onto the patio where I knew my grandparents would be.
“I’m really sorry you guys for disrespecting you. I never meant to cause you any trouble.”
“We accept your apology sweetheart. Now go home and take good care of yourself. Call us if you need us,” Grandma said giving me a hug.
“Love you,” Grandpa said kissing me on the forehead.
“Love you guys too,” I said as they let me go and I headed towards the car.
As I was getting in the car, Stephan was hanging up the phone.
We began riding in silence until Stephan decided to break the ice.
“Honey, your mother and I were very disappointed when dad called this morning to inform us about of your actions. We understand you want to have fun and live a little bit, but to go get drunk! What were you thinking? Something bad could’ve happen to you.”
“Something bad did happen, but before I got drunk,” I thought before addressing his concern.
“I wasn’t thinking, and I’m very sorry for disrespecting my grandparents. I was just trying to have a good time like everybody else. Amber goes out and drinks all the time with her brother. Nothing bad ever happens to her,” I responded with my head down expecting him to rip me a new one. Shockingly he didn’t, he sat there quietly finally reaching up into the visor and pulling down a black. He slowly lights it and starts
