Her Place in His Heart by Isabella Reed

Chapter 89

Chapter89

“Sorry, Grace, but Dad and Mom just worry about me. Even though Kevin came to visit me but not you, it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t care about you. We all do, really. Maybe next time, I can get them to your parent–teacher conference?”

Ashley’s apology came off more like a brag. In my previous life, her attitude would’ve ticked me off. But now? I was as cool as a cucumber.

“No need. This is my last one.”

My brother butted in, “Who do you think you are, giving us that attitude? Have you ever wondered why our folks would rather go to Ashley’s conference than yours? It’s because you’re always so mean to her!”

My mom’s face went white as a sheet.

Ashley started bawling, “I didn’t mean to upset you, Grace. I’ll leave, and you won’t have to see me again. You can have Mom and Dad all to yourself. I won’t be in the way.””

She rushed over and grabbed my arm, begging me not to be mad. I tried to pull away, but she held on tight.

Then, out of the blue, she used my hand to push herself away.

Ashley’s face went ghostly pale as she hit the couch, called out for Mom twice, and then passed out. My dad scooped her up onto the couch and told my mom to call an ambulance.

My mom was dialing, tears streaming down her face. She

muttered, “We were all so happy at dinner. Why did. everything fall apart as soon as we got home?”

My brother was furious, ready to throw a stool at me.

But I wasn’t scared. I was ice cold as I said, “Didn’t Ashley say she wanted my room for a study? You’ve already got the plans ready and just haven’t talked to me yet. Well, I’ll make the call. I’ll stay on campus for the rest of my senior year. If she wants my room, she can have it. Are we all happy now?”

My brother’s hand froze mid–air.

My mom was crying her eyes out, begging my dad to say something, anything.

But my dad just raised his hand, pointed to the door, and said, “Go. If you walk out that door, don’t ever come back.”

My dad was trying to make me back down, but this time, I wasn’t budging.

My mom tried to talk me out of it.

But then the ambulance arrived, and they all rushed off to the hospital.

I packed up my stuff, the essentials, and my books. I tossed them in a suitcase and rolled it out of there. I was leaving the only home I’d ever known.
