I've Been There Before

Chapter 35: I am Tired

Grace got endless nightmares circled every night.

Standing on the edge of a cliff, she suddenly fell into an abyss... She woke up.

There was not an abyss, instead, the door after her was pulled to open from the inside room.

“Are you ok? You don't sleep on the bed but outside the room?”

Since then, Ruby usually ignored Grace when meeting her. Ruby looked down upon her and would not talk with her. She was

so indifferent and despised Grace that she was shameful to talk with her.

Early in the morning in their common dorm, it was extremely rare that Ruby was kind enough to have a talk with Grace.

Nevertheless, it was not nice words, even worse than nothing to say.

Feeling too much dizzy, Grace was unwilling to reply Ruby.

She just said, “Last night the door was locked.” Ruby should understand what she was talking about.

Grace did not expect Ruby to make an apology, but hoped Ruby could stop doing something like this.

She heard Ruby said in a peaceful voice, “Oh. The door was locked. 'I might do it by accident when closing the door yesterday”

By accident? Who believe it?

Grace shook her head and stopped arguing with Ruby. She started to feel headache and everything around her was whirling.

Ruby continued, “It is not my fault. 'I made it by accident. But the door is locked, can't you knock it or call me? You have your mouth”

Ruby was so talkative that Grace with headache could not endure it to say, “Ruby, 'I am very tired”

Everyone could know it from Grace's face.

Ruby pretended to not hear it and laughed at Grace; she watched Grace to say, “Oh...l know. You mouth only works for the

shameless things’

Grace held the door frame and looked too exhausted. She said again, “I am really tired”

She was too pallid now.

Anyway, Ruby still did not let her come into the room and said, “A moment.” She stopped Grace who was walking inside and became more aggressive, “Grace, 'I tell you now, don't meet Franklin again!”

Ruby would never admit that she was badly envious that Grace and Franklin got along too well with each other. As a student of S University, Ruby had to work part-time in Royal Club for earning tuition. She believed she was totally different from the other ones there.

Grace held the door frame...She almost used up all her energy so that she would not like to say anything but lie down on the

bed soon.

“Ruby, 'I feel not well”

Hearing this, Ruby stopped for a minute; abruptly, she burst into anger as she got insulted too much. She shouted out, “Grace,

don't be so poor. 'I only talked with you for a while, so now you don't feel well?”

Grace pinched the middle of her eyebrow; she was unwilling to argue with her anymore.

“I got wet in the rain last night. Didn't you lock the door?”

Grace just told the truth; she did not imagine it irritated Ruby completely. Possibly, Ruby did not like her to the extent that

anything she said would be incorrect.

“What did you mean by that?” Ruby was angry to say, “Is it me who let it rain? And 'I told you already that 'I locked the door by

accident. You think 'I intend to do it?”

Already in dizziness, Grace felt more headache with these words. Actually, she would like to refute Ruby or work off her

unhappiness without any hesitation.

Instead, she got rid of the idea as soon as it occurred to her, before she would make it come true.

‘Grace, you had not been the princess of James’ family for three years:

‘Grace, you were just a released prisoner’

‘Grace, Ruby was a student of S university who was so prospective in future. How about you?’

To Grace, time was some of shit! It witnessed how confident she was before as well as how miserable she was now.

She would not like to work off her anger, upset and other unhappiness?

No, she could not.

“Ruby, you misunderstand. 'I just said 'I got wet in the rain for overnight and slept outside the room. Now 'I feel really terrible as

well as dizzy. If you would like to talk with me, please wait until 'I wake up”

Grace was almost begging Ruby. Her lips got pale, which demonstrated her weakness.

She could not help thinking about herself of three years ago. She could not help thinking about what she would like to do if she

did not get changed for the three years.

She would be the one so hesitated to do everything as now?

She would be the one so humble not to offend anybody but to keep giving in as now?

“Grace, don't blame me! 'I told you already, 'I locked the door by accident. Don't you believe me? 'I explained to you. What are

you doing?” Ruby said. She also remembered what happened on the stairs.

Not only what happened on the stairs but also that in the room 606, Franklin came in sudden to rescue Grace who was going to kiss a body guard to amuse some people present.

The more Ruby recalled, the more she got envious. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

She hated Grace in every aspect.

Meanwhile, she was much angrier when she saw Grace never rejected anything.

Grace was so easy to be bullied. Why did Franklin love her so much?

Not beautiful, not slender, not academic...How did Grace, a nobody girl, fascinate so outstanding Franklin? Unless...

Ruby said, “Bitch!” unless Grace seduced Franklin. She was certain of that after careful speculation.

Grace lowed her head and tried to hide her emotion.

Sometimes she was indeed in great anger.

But it took her three years to learn how to endure it and compromise.

Grace raised her head slowly. She looked at Ruby and said, “If you like Mr. Cordon, don’t come to talk with me. He would not like you for constant disturbing me”

Yes, it took her three years to endure and compromise; anyway, she still kept proud of herself within her heart.

She did not scold Ruby for bullying her, instead, she would let Ruby get too mad.

She even knew well that how to refute Ruby in an easy way to end her these aggressive words.

Hearing this, Ruby was totally furious. She did not look as pretty as normal, but ferocious and out of control. She opened her

eyes wide with the incredible and unacceptable Grace who was always a miserable bitch in her view.

“Franklin would not love a bitch! Nobody will love shameless you!” Ruby watched Grace furiously and shouted out. She

seemed to pick up her dignity in front of Grace for saying that.

Grace had serious headache and felt chilly to keep trembling. When she looked at Ruby being fuzzy and wobbled, she clenched her fists hard so that the nails pinched the hands to make her remain sober. She had to tell Ruby, "Ruby Carter, if you love someone, you cannot see anyone else but get along with him with extreme sincere. However, 'I think now you care about me more than Mr. Cordon. 'I don't understand you loving him is just a joke? How much do you love him?”
