Later that day after Jared took his leave. Gracie was alone in her room looking at text messages from Tori asking about her health and giving reasons why she couldn't come over.
Her Dad.
Gracie: okay.
That was her reply to her best friend.
She listened to some songs by Jason Derulo. The nasty and gorgeous popstar happened to be on her favorite list.
Evening came quicker than expected, Grandma Lily was in awe when she saw a dressed Gracie climbing down the stair and the next thing that fell off her mouth was, "I'll be back before midnight."
"Huh. Sure, take your time... And coat."
Gracie obeyed and picked the black coat on the coat racks. She said her bye and hopped out of the house.

There was noise. Loud music lapping over people's scream in hysteria.
