LI. GRACE—CHAPTER FIFTY-ONE

seb added lizzie, skylar, danny, and wren to "untitled"!

seb:
Have any of you talked to her??

seb:
She's not answering her phone

seb:
I'm getting really worried

lizzie:
She's not answering me either

skylar:
same here

wren:
same

danny:
I'm on my way to her apartment

seb:
Okay, please let me know what's happening with her

danny:
Will do

skylar:
this is insane. who does something like this?

lizzie:
I don't think the pictures are what's going to affect her. It'll be the comments.

wren:
yeah, she's never been able to completely handle someone criticizing her after her mom.

seb:
Wait, what happened with her mom?

skylar:
her mom is...something else. I don't think she knows that what she does hurts gracie, but it does.

wren:
her mom is a very critical person. she unintentionally points things out on gracie that she's already insecure about. she's the center of a lot of gracies insecurity, and it's really hard to change her mind after her moms already said it.

lizzie:
danny's usually the one that pulls her away from it, but I don't know if he'll be able to do it this time.

seb:
Why wouldn't she have told me this?

lizzie:
she doesn't really talk about her mom that often. it's also probably why she hasn't offered to introduce you two.

wren:
yeah, she's never really been close with her mom, especially after the divorce. her step mom kinda took over the mom job and helped gracie with a lot of things

seb:
I just wish she would have told me.

lizzie:
she would've told you when she was ready. the only reason I know is because I was with her and her mom once. just give her time and don't force her to tell you about it.

seb:
Yeah I understand

danny:
I'm here

seb:
And? How is she?

skylar:
is she okay?

danny:
She won't open the door

seb:
There's a key on the top of the door. I put one there because she kept locking us out.

danny:
Alright, give me a minute

wren:
please let her be okay

lizzie:
if I have to pause filming and come back I will

seb:
Yeah same. I want to be there if she needs me

danny:
Guys...

skylar:
what? is she okay?

danny:
No. She keeps reading the comments and won't give me her phone

seb:
Don't let her read them. Just take the phone.

danny:
I'm trying but she won't give it to me

danny:
and I can't get her to stop crying

danny:
I've never seen her like this guys

lizzie:
what can we do?

skylar:
do I have to come over?

wren:
danny?

seb:
What's happening?

danny:
No, no. I got this. I'll keep you updated but I think I'm gonna stay here with her tonight. Wren, put bubba to bed and tell her I love her. Grace can't be alone.

wren:
of course. please help her.

danny:
I'll try.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: this makes me sad guys.
