Authors Notes: Sadly, Spring Break is coming to a close, and there's a small chance I will be able to update at all this coming week, because states are the 23-24, so I'll be at school really late everynight, and in a hotel room all weekend. Wish us luck!
Jane and Adam - 'now you just need to work on mr. luke and grace' You read my mind. ^~
AL - I figured you guys would want a happy ending
Alexandri - lol. I'm glad you're liking my story
Authors Note: I don't know what kind of music Grace listens to, so she can listen to Katy Rose. Cuz who doesn't like Katy? Ooh, and you guys also get to find out what happened between Grace and Luke.
14. Bad Day
The next morning the snow was falling worse than other. Grace walked out of her house and down to her car when she saw someone sitting in the passengers side of her car.
"What are you doing in my car?" Grace asked. Luke un-rolled the window.
"Waiting for you," he told her. "It's a good thing you never lock the doors."
"I have a concert to go to geek. Get out of my car."
"I know you have a concert to go to, why do you think I'm here?"
"Get out of the car," Grace commanded.
"No. I'm staying in this car until we talk."
"We're not talking."
"Then I'm not getting out of the car."
"Then I guess we're going to Baltimore."
*
"Get out of the car," Grace told Luke a hour later.
"We still haven't talked," Luke pointed out.
"I don't want to talk to you. I want to go in there," Grace said, gesturing to the café they were parked in front of, "and listen to Katy Rose. I've been trying to get tickets to see her since I was in tenth grade."
"Then go and watch your concert. I'll still be here."
"I don't want you to be here. I want you to go back to Arcadia."
"Then give me your keys." Grace looked at him like he'd lost it.
"You are not driving my car."
"Then I'll wait here."
"I hate you."
"No you don't." Grace glared at him, then opened the car door and climbed out. Slamming it shut, she leaned down and looked in the window, still glaring, then walked away.
*
"Your back," Luke said as Grace opened the drivers door a few hours later.
"Have you been sitting here the whole time?"
"Yeah."
"You're an idiot."
"No, I'm just determined. Besides, watching the storm was occupying. They declared a state of emergency," Luke told her.
"What?! A state of emergency?! That means.."
"That the city closed down. Yeah."
"God! I don't think today could get any worse," Grace said, pulling out her cell phone to call a motel.
*
"One?!" Grace yelled at the guy behind the desk at the local motel. He nodded.
"Because of the storm we only had one room left. Take it or leave it." Grace sighed.
"I'll take it."
"I need to see your ID. Both of your IDs. We don't rent to people under eighteen," the guy told Grace and Luke. Grace rolled her eyes.
"I'm nineteen, he's eighteen. I know why you people don't rent to people under eighteen. And I can assure you that the geek and I are -not- going to be sleeping together. Clothed or otherwise."
"Sorry miss. Still need to see your IDs." Grace and Luke pulled out their drivers license and handed them to the guy. He nodded and gave them back, then handed Grace a key. "Room 11."
*
"One bed! This is great!" Grace snarrled. She turned and slammed her head against the wall, resting it there.
"Hey, I can sleep on the floor.." Luke told her.
"This is all your fault," Grace told him, storming across the room and falling onto the bed.
"How is this my fault? I don't control the weather," Luke responded, sitting next to her.
"You locked yourself in my car. You came along for the ride. You were in the car when the city got closed down. And now we're in some dumb run down motel with one bed."
"At least now we can talk," Luke joked. Grace smacked him upside the head. "Okay, I don't get you. We were fine for a few days and then you snap and start acting how you acted towards me during the summer."
"Hey, I had every right to act like that. I still do."
"I can't even count the number of times I've told you I was sorry Grace. There aren't any other ways for me to say it," Luke told her.
"Sorry doesn't always cut it geek."
"It was a dumb accident."
"An accident?" Grace asked, turning to him. "An accident?! So what, you two just magically lost your clothing and fell into bed together?! Look, cheating is one thing, but having sex with your ex girlfriend while your current girlfriend is out of town?"
"I know, I know, it was a new low. I'm sorry okay?! I'm an idiot, you hate me, I get it. You made it perfectly clear already."
"I don't hate you. I should, and I don't -like- you. I'm actually containing the urge to shove your head through the wall, but I don't -hate- you."
"You're going to strangle me in my sleep aren't you?" Luke asked seriously. Grace smiled a little.
"The thought has crossed my mind. If you remember, I did almost strangle you once.."
-flashback-
"You wanna crash here tonight?" Joan asked Grace.
"Sure," Grace responded. After a long day of room registration up in Maine, all either of the girls wanted to do was sleep.
"I'm gonna go call Adam," Joan said, running upstairs to her room. Grace rolled her eyes. "You two are so about each other it's scary!" Grace called after Joan.
"No, it's just love!" Joan called back. Grace laughed, then walked upstairs herself. She saw the door to Luke's room was closed. The thought of knocking crossed her mind for a second, but quickly passed. She opened the door and stepped in.
"Hey geek-" she froze. "What the hell?!"
"Grace-" Luke started, sitting up.
"I'm not sure who I should kill first. Actually, you. I am going to strangle you you asshole!" Grace screamed.
"Guys, what's going on?" Joan asked, walking into her brothers room. "Oh. My. God." Grace pointed at Luke.
"You are so dead!!" she yelled, lunging at him. Joan wrapped her arms around Grace's shoulders. "Let me go Girardi!" she snapped. Joan held her tighter and pulled her out of the room.
-end flashback-
"If Joan hadn't of stopped you.." Luke said.
"I would have slaughtered you. And I'm getting tempted to slaughter you again." Luke jumped off the bed. "Look, I want to, but I'm not going to."
"Thank you," Luke said as Grace's cell phone went off. Grace reached into her pocket and pulled it out.
"Ugh. It's the synagogue. Wonder what great dilemma they need the rabbi's daughter to sort out now," Grace said, rolling her eyes and hitting the on button. "What? ..What? Oh my God. Is he-? No! No I am -not- staying here. Am I the kind of person who cares when the city's shut down?! I'm coming back! Look, I don't care if it takes me three hours, I'm coming back!" Grace slammed her phone shut and grabbed her keys.
"We're going back to Arcadia," she told Luke. Luke could have sworn he saw tears welling up in her eyes.
"What happened Grace?"
"My dad.. He had a heart attack.."
