Summery: After the song
Feedback: Of Course I want it.
Alright here's the thing, there used to be a song in this chapter, it was important and integral part of the song, but since songs aren't allowed on this site, i'd recommend googleing my penname and the title of this story and reading it there. I'll fix this up a little bit to let you know where it goes
Suddenly words weren't so important to Eli, he sat stunned as he listened to her sing, it was beautiful. The words were beautiful, her voice was beautiful; she was beautiful.
She finished.
They both stood there in the doorway staring. Grace was waiting for him to respond and Eli couldn't seem to form a coherent thought.
"That was beautiful"
"Thank you"
Eli took a deep breath and decided to go for it…
"Grace, I can't make a lot of promises. I can't tell you that I'll get a better job, I can't promise that I'll go back to school. I may never be more than a night club musician. But there is one thing I can promise you"
"What's that?" She could barely hold back the tears.
"I love you, and I will never lie to you. I'll try my hardest to never hurt you and to remind you each day that you're the most important thing in the world to me."
"That's a big promise." She was crying steadily now.
"I know"
"What happens when you do something that'll hurt me? Will you lie to me? Or can you trust me enough to know that I love you, and we'll get through whatever comes our way?"
"I'm going to try to do the right thing… you make me want to do the right thing. Can you love me enough to give me a chance to try?"
"Yes"
They kissed.
Insert Madonna's "Crazy"
A/N this is not the end, I just thought that a really good chapter would end on a kiss. They still have lots of issues to deal with.
