Noah's pov-
I woke up the next morning. I had stayed overnight at Dixie and I am pretty sure grace stayed with charli. To be honest it has been hard since she has got here I don't really know how to help her but she is struggling even though she won't admit and she puts a strong face on I know her to well to know that she isn't the same person she was and she is hiding something very deep. She hates me and I understand I left her but I was following my dream and taking her with me would have caused so much instability for her but now I wish more then anything I had taken her with me then maybe she wouldn't hate me. I was deep in my thought when I felt some stroking my face
Dixie- you ok bub
Noah- yeah
Dixie- what you thinking about
Noah- grace
Dixie- I know Bub she will be ok
Noah- I hope so, I thought she would at least want to speak to me but every time we are even fighting or she is yelling at me
Dixie- I know it will take some time you should try and take her somewhere we it is just you and her and force her to speak to you
Noah- I know I'll try
Dixie- come on let's get some breakfast
We go out of the room and I see grace still sat at the table with her head down asleep and the pizza still there she hadn't touched it. I go over and stroke her back
Noah- hey sweetheart
She squints and slowly opens her eyes
Noah- why didn't you go with charli
Grace- you said I couldn't leave the table till I eat the pizza and I wasn't hungry so I didn't eat it so I didn't leave
Noah- I didn't mean it that literally
Grace- oh
Noah- come on do you want some breakfast
Grace- no thank you
I felt bad that she spent the whole night at the table so I decided to let her off and not make her eat breakfast
Noah- ok

Graces pov-
I was surprised that he wasn't going to make me eat but I didn't want to make a big deal in case he changed his mind. Me, Noah and Dixie are sat in the kitchen they are eating cereal
Noah- I was wondering if you wanted to do something with me today
Grace- no thank you
Ok maybe I am being a bit of a bitch but I don't want to be alone with him I am still angry and being back with him doesn't make me stop thinking about the bad things that happened
Dixie- it might be fun you know
Grace- no it won't be
Noah- please
Grace- no I said no and that's my final answer
They both look at each other and give each other a weird look. After that we sit in silence for a bit and then charli comes out
Dixie- finally
Charli- don't start it's still so early
Noah- it's almost 10
Charli- that's so early
I am just laughing
Dixie- char don't forget we have to go film some stuff for the show
Charli- oh yeah
Dixie- we have to leave in 45 minutes
Charli- ok
She sits down and has some breakfast about 30 minutes later me and Noah leave

We are driving in his car
Grace- where are we going
Noah- it's a surprise
Grace- no I just want to go home I said I didn't want to hang out with you so take me home
Noah- come on I want to spend time with you
Grace- well I don't
Noah- I know you do you just won't admit it
Grace-you are wrong
We sit in silence for the next ten minutes then we pull up outside this building
Grace- where are we
Noah- come on let's go inside and see
I was hesitant and I was debating to just sit in the car and cause a scene but I think it might be fine so we go inside and I see a bunch of animals
Grace- are we at a rescue centre
I say hardly able to contain my excitement
Noah- yeah
I give him a huge out of impulse I could see him lightly smile
Grace- can we go see the dogs
Noah- right behind you
We go up to the dogs. We see the cutest dog ever it was a black lab
Grace- look how cute that one is
Noah- aww
Worker- hey would you guys like to go see the puppies they are in the garden area
Grace- YES
worker- ok follow me
We go outside and see a bunch of puppies I feel like I am in heaven. Noah must have remembered how much I love animals they were my favourite thing when I was younger and I guess I never grew out of it
Worker- These puppies were born about 3 weeks ago
Grace- they are adorable
I go sit down and they all start attacking me and I start laughing Noah came and sat next to me and then they were attacking both of us I was laying in the floor but Noah was able to get them off of him so he was putting them on me
Grace- Noah
I say laughing He is laughing as well. He then grabs me and pulls me up from lying down to sitting up so the dogs are not as on top of me. I lean up against him and this puppy comes in my lap
Grace- look how cute they are
Noah- they are so cute
He says pushing my hair out of my face
Grace- can we get one
Noah- not today
Grace- so tomorrow
Noah- maybe in the future
Grace- I won't be here though
Noah- were you going
Grace- you'll probably leave again
he picks me up and makes me face him looking me directly in the eyes
Noah- I am not leaving you ever again you can push me away you can ignore me you are stuck with me and there is nothing you do
I look down and nod I feel my eyes crystallise hearing him say that brings so much reassurance knowing that I will never be alone again. He pulls me into a hug and then I feel puppies jumping on my back as we are still sat down and I start laughing
Grace- they won't stop
We are both laughing. Eventually the puppies have to go inside and me and Noah are back into his car
Noah- I have one more place for us to go
Grace- where
Noah- that would ruin the surprise
Grace- I hate surprises
Noah- I know that is what makes it better
Grace- I hate you
Noah- rude
We drive for a while and then we pull up outside the cinema
Grace- are we going to watch a film
Noah- yes
Grace- I haven't been to the cinema in years
Noah- I know I am sorry
Grace- it's ok I used to love our cinema nights
Noah- me too now come on the the film starts soon
Grace- ok ok
We go inside
Noah- do you want popcorn or anything
Grace- no thank you I am good
Noah- come on you used to love cinema popcorn
Grace- key word "used" to
Noah- grace
Grace- yeah
Noah- when did you last eat
Grace- don't do this now Noah
Noah- fine let's go watch the film

Noah's pov-
It was odd that she didn't want the popcorn from the movie she loves the popcorn and when we were with the dogs her talking about me leaving I think I am going to look into therapist not just cus of this but her random out burst of emotions I think that therapy will be beneficial for her. We watch the film at the end I go to ask her what she thought but I saw she was fast asleep on the chair. I pick her up and carry her outside to the car and buckle her up trying not to wake her which surprisingly she didn't. I drive back to sway and carry her upstairs and take her to my room and place her in my bed. I go speak to the boys for a bit
Blake- how is she doing bro
Noah- I don't know I think she thinks I am going to leave her again
Bryce- yeah I get that bro you have only been in her life for a couple of days
Noah- I know I am thinking about therapy
Josh- probably for the best
Noah- I still think something happened that she isn't telling me and I think that maybe speaking to someone else will help her
Blake- just do what you think is best
Noah- yeah
Bryce- anyway I am starving should we order something
All of them- yeah
Bryce- what should I get
Josh- chick-fil-a
Bryce- ok
We all give him our order and I tell him to get grace a chicken sandwich cus she used to live that
About 40 minutes later the food comes so I go to wake up grace
Noah- grace
I whisper and lightly shake her
Grace- yeah
Noah- there is some food downstairs
Grace- I am not hungry
I just grab her out of bed and place her on the chair with the food in-front her she doesn't eat it but I don't want a repeat of yesterday

Graces pov-
When is it going to get in his head that I am not going to eat I feel him staring at me
Noah- grace you need to eat
Grace- I am not hungry
That was a lie I am so hungry but I need to lose weight besides I was used to not eating from being at home we didn't have the money for food and if we did it wasn't for me to eat most nights I would have to get my food from the trash
Noah- grace why aren't you eating
Grace- cus I am not hungry
Noah- you haven't eaten all day
Grace- doesn't mean I am hungry
Noah- you should be hungry
Grace- I am not
Josh- come ok kid eat the sandwich
Grace- don't talk to me
Noah- grace he is just trying to help
Grace- well he isn't
Blake- I think that he was meaning that we all don't want you to end up and a bad situation so eating the sandwich would prevent that
Grace- stop
Noah- grace
Grace- I am not hungry
I stand up and throw my food to the floor which I think shocks everyone I was a little shocked myself that I did that but I don't care anything to not eat i then ran up to my room a few minutes later I heard someone knocking I told them to leave and surprisingly they listened no one came the rest of the night. I watched a bit of Netflix then I shut my eyes and fell to sleep
