《Saving Gracie | ✓》Chapter Thirty Five: I Want The Cotton Candy!
Advertisement
"Good morning, Eve." I say, placing a plate of bacon and eggs on the table. I grab the glass of water and the two tablets and hand it to Eve who is holding her head in pain.
"Thank you..." Eve mumbles as she takes the tablets and I turn back to the stove, making sure that my food isn't burning. I scrap my eggs onto my own plate and pick up the bacon with the tongs, setting them on my plate also.
I grab my plate and place it on the table, walking back to grab my orange juice. I take my seat opposite from Eve and begin to eat, even though I wasn't really hungry.
As we both eat our breakfast, I glance up at Eve to see her staring at something behind me. I raise an eyebrow at Eve and set my fork on my plate.
"Everything okay?" I ask and Eve looks to me, shakes her head and continues to eat.
"Yeah. It's just my brain playing with my eyes." Eve says and I nod, taking a sip of my orange juice. When we both finish, I grab the plates and place them in the sink, doing the same with the glasses.
I turn back to Eve with a small smile on my face. "Eve," I call and she looks up and stares at me, waiting for me to speak. "Why don't we go out and do something today?" I ask and Eve sighs.
"And here I thought you would leave me alone in the damn house again." Eve says and I chuckle, pushing my chair in. Eve stands up and I push her up the stairs.
"Go get ready." I say and Eve walks into the bathroom. Before she closes the door, she sends me a small smile and I return it, watching as the door closes.

I turn around and walk over to the couch, grabbing my phone that is on the pillow. I notice the green light and I switch my phone on, looking at the name that I have been waiting to see on my phone all last night and early morning.
A small sting in my chest attacks me and I bite my lip as the memory of Randy and I talking at the police station about my father appears in my mind.
I switch my phone off and stand up, swallowing the lump in my throat. Today is just going to be Eve and I because we both need to get out of this house. Eve was right when she said that she thought I was going to leave her in the house again; I can't leave her in this house again by herself.
That's why I'm taking Eve with me to the fair. We both need to get out of the house and focus on something other than the death of my father.
We need some fun.

"I want the cotton candy!" A little girl yells as she runs past us and towards her father. I quickly look away, ignoring the pain in my heart and continue to walk to the ticket box.
With the money that my mom gave me, I have plenty of money for Eve and I to at least go on all of the rides twice. I'm just hoping that Eve can turn her frown upside down and at least try and have some fun.
When I get the tickets, we both walk away from the line and look around the large space in order to find a good ride to start of our time at the fair. I look up at Eve and I notice that she is looking at a ride with a small smile on her face.

There we go.
"This one." Eve says, walking towards the line and I smile. The line is pretty long but that didn't seem to bother Eve since she kept the smile on her face until we reached the ride itself.
That's when her smile turned into a full on grin.
"Have you been on this ride before?" I ask Eve and she nods.
"The most fun I've had in years. It is truly the best ride ever." Eve says and a voice speaks from the large speakers, telling us that the bars will now come down so we have to hold our hands up. As the bar comes down, I make sure that it is secure before leaning back in the slightly uncomfortable chair. I let my feet dangle as the ride begins to go in the air and before I know it, the ride begins to swing back and forth, making my heart race from the adrenaline.
"Are you ready?" The voice in the speakers yell and the people on the ride, including Eve and I, yell 'hell yeah' into the air as the ride begins to swing higher until I find myself hanging upside down the air.
A scream escapes my lungs and Eve laughs as it begins to do flips and all sorts of random things that make us scream, laugh, swear and cry.
Eve really did choose the best first ride.

"Okay, if you were trying to make me feel better, you succeeded." Eve says, taking a bite of her pizza slice and I smile, doing the same.
"I'm glad." I say and Eve looks at the waves crashing against the water, making its way towards us. I do the same, loving the relaxed feeling that is coming over me.
"You know, when I first met you, I thought you would hate me forever." Eve says and I nod.
"Exactly what I thought too. It's not everyday your father brings home a girl not even two months after his wife passed away." I say and Eve nods.
"Yeah." Eve says, taking the last bite of her pizza. "What was your mom like? I mean, you don't have to talk about her, I am just curious." Eve says and I shrug.
"Its fine." I say and my eyes catch a small crab that is digging in the sand. I smile and look back at the sea.
"My mom was one of a kind. She always loved to draw and whenever she was down, she would do exactly that. She was outgoing, caring, always so full of joy and never did she ever give up on the people that she loved." I say and Eve smiles.
"She must of been some mom, huh?"
"She was perfect." I say and Eve stands up. I watch as she turns around to look at something and my eyes follow her gaze. She looks back down at me and smiles.
"Want some icecream?" Eve asks and I smile, jumping up from my spot on the sand. I send Eve a grin and look at the icecream parlor.
"Last one there has to pay." I say and Eve grins, nodding.
"Your on."
