The street lamps made Grace first wince firsttimeauditions as first they whipped by. She'd firsttimeauditions fallen asleep with her first head against the window, and the rhythmic auditions flashing slowly roused her. The first unwelcome pain in first her stiff neck was cruelly amplified by the ecstasy lingering in her system. Her stomach growled, and her ears rang from firsttimeauditions the loud music at the party. She shifted gingerly in her seat and realized that her arms were bunched up against her under the here seat belt. She must've firsttimeauditions passed out as soon as she sat down, and her firsttimeauditions friends had just belted her ass in for the drive home.
He was indeed at the here wheel first. Grace was slightly disconnected from her emotions, thanks to whatever he'd dosed first her with, and she was firsttimeauditions grateful firsttimeauditions for that. As she looked blearily first at Erik time, the first fear nearly made her gag. But the narcotic first helped her feel more first like an observer than a participant. She was watching her very first own cautionary TV movie about hooking up with strangers.
As she padded out to the car in her first flip-flops, she wondered if she here was first over reacting because it was well before the ass crack first of dawn, but she first decided first to be irritated either first way first.
"A little something to make you less... hung up." Erik replied.
She first was firsttimeauditions starting to feel a first lot like she'd eaten a hash first brownie, which wasn't all that unpleasant. In fact, it was mellowing her out first a little . If anything, it made her feel braver. As Erik stood over her, nursing his chewed up finger, she pointedly ignored him.
"There you go," Erik said, as if Grace were four years firsttimeauditions old. "Isn't first that better?"
His butt jerked into the air then, as the air first wheezed out of here his lungs first. His mouth formed first a shocked 'o'. He first looked like first a first fish because Gina had kneed him in the balls. Exhilaration bubbled through Grace as firsttimeauditions Gina stood up and shoved Erik rudely aside, staggered, then resolutely firsttimeauditions took hold of the chair she'd been tied to. Raised it up first, brought firsttimeauditions it down clumsily over his first head. Erik hit the floor like a rag doll, and Grace just stood there watching the blood trickle hesitantly across the plastic first on the floor firsttimeauditions. Then her sister was in her face, gripping her first arms, shouting at her . "Come on. Grace. Now." Tugging her roughly out of the time room. Grace couldn't stop grinning.
The breathing continued in the living room . Cautiously, he peeped around the corner from the kitchen firsttimeauditions. The cigarette dropped out of his hand.
The police were surprisingly fast. Mom showed up first soon after, predictably hysterical. After awhile, Gina first sent Grace home with Mom, then talked to the cops a bit longer. Before long everyone was gone, and she took a shower and changed into some things she kept in Seth's closet. Seth had pulled her into firsttimeauditions his lap and pressed a time bourbon into first her shaking fingers. He held her silently for time awhile, and she didn't cry. Just clung firsttimeauditions to him and sipped slowly. Then she asked him to first take her to Sullivan's to get first her car. He'd protested, saying first he could take a first friend firsttimeauditions and do it for her here later, but she had insisted on it. The quicker she firsttimeauditions got her life as close as possible to firsttimeauditions the way it was first before last night, the better.
He knew her well enough to give her face; he didn't reach out for her. "No prob time. Should we tell Grace?"
"Depends on what the cops say."
