Hope

Hearing Jared's words they were pretty much the same as they had before only said a different way this time. Something new though was admitting that he didn't want Grace hurt. That seemed to spark something and give Grace a little bit of an upper hand.

Coming closer to the bed Grace gives a soft smile looking down on Jared. His eyes where closed, blocking out the word, maybe blocking out her, but she new her words would not fall on deaf ears.

   "Look at that Jared, your already becoming someone different than you use to be. You care if I get hurt or not....would the old you have cared? More than likely no but you do now. That's just proof right there you can change who you are now."

It made Grace feel excited inside to actually have and example for Jared. Even if he still denied it or tried to argue with her it still made her feel good that she had something to work with now.

   "You can tell me to go away a million more times Jared, as me why I don't understand but I will still remain you friend. It's just how it works and I have no fear of you hurting me. Take the good times with the bad, well I am ready for the bad, and walking with you through the good."

Sitting down for dinner and having Jeff hit up chat Katie hoped just a little that maybe the mark on Hunter's neck would go un noticed. But as Jeff turns and stops turning Hunter's head Katie can feel a little heat on her face as she does everything to not look at her father. Right now she kind of wanted to sink away. She felt embarrassed having never done something like that before.

Having Hunter pass the blame off on her all to easy. Letting her eyes go wide Katie looks and him before blinking and looking up at her father for a long moment. There was a laugh that wanted to slip out somewhere but at the moment she was to mortified.

   "Well you see I umm...ah....well...it happened a week ago....I...got vampire teeth yes and...I just...couldn't help myself. Hunter's neck was there....tell him to stop wearing that yummy smelling stuff and it wont happen again."

Katie blinks again looking up at her father. Reaching for her glass of ice water Katie can't help it her mouth went a little dry. Moving her foot under the table she gives Hunter a little kick as a thank you very much before a small grin forms on her lips.
