Chapter 6
The next morning
when Grace woke up she was surprised to find herself in her own bed.
Luke was nowhere to be seen, but Grace knew that he was probably out
getting breakfast as a favor to her.
As Grace lie in bed she
thought about what had happened the previous day.
She had broken up with Luke. Did he know that she had just been flustered? She did not want to break up with him, did she?
Then she remembered the moment in the snow when he had asked her to tell him that she loved him. Why didn't she? Something about this troubled her.
Within the next five minutes Luke came in.
"Hey, your up."
"Yeah, ummm…
Luke?
"
"Yeah?"
"Last night you asked me a question regarding us. You asked something along the lines of did I mean what I said at Joan's about breaking up."
"Hey, I got breakfast." Luke said in an effort to change the subject.
Then, Luke saw a look he hadn't seen on Grace's face since high school; the very first time he had ever seen her cry.
"Grace."
She now was fighting back tears and rocking back and forth uneasily. When she finally gained enough courage to speak again the first words she said were…"
"I'm sorry."
At this Luke
could no longer control himself, he had tried to be strong for
Grace's sake but it became too much for him. He got up Quickly and
headed for the door.
"Luke wait, where are you going. I need to
explain."
"I'm simply leaving Grace, just like you did yesterday, and just like you are doing to me today."
"Wait, stay at least until you understand why."
"Wait? How many times are you going to ask me to do that? I mean that's twice in a matter of thirty seconds. Not to mention other things you have had me wait for. Grace we have been together for three years, why is it that just now you are dumping me? And don't you dare say anything about it having something to do with Adam or Joan because that would be a bold faced lie and you know it!"
Luke had tears coming down his face now, a mixture of anger and sadness, although at that moment he was not sure which were stronger.
Grace began to speak, so quietly Luke could barely hear her.
"I'm sorry about a lot of things I've done to you since we've been together, the secrecy, my mom, never telling you I love you, but most of all not letting you go sooner. I knew I wasn't capable of keeping anything permanent and I wish I could tell you why, but I can't. It would just make things worse. I… I just couldn't bear letting you go. I do Love you Luke. Please understand this. I wasn't using you. No matter what you hear, what we had was real. So real in fact I tried to convince myself that it wasn't so I didn't have to do this."
Grace paused to try and gain back some composure, but she could not and her voice became very shaky.
"But I couldn't."
"Grace, you are not making any sense, it sounds like you are saying that you are breaking up with me because you love me."
"I am."
But she was not, the truth was she had no choice; It was either suffer herself without Luke, or face someone she knew she could not beat.
"But why? Why is it such a bad thing to be in love?"
"Luke, that doesn't matter, I'm not going through that with you, and that's all you have to know. I'll be out of here by tomorrow."
"You don't have to move out!"
"You are joking right? You don't really think we could just go on living together after what we had do you?"
"Well…No I guess not, Grace can you please explain your theory on why love is bad, because I would like to be able to tell all these people who are going to ask including myself for that matter why you have broken up with me."
"Luke, can you please just except it, I don't have the time for that, my train leaves in three days."
"But it may be too late then! Wait, you said train, (Luke freaks out) Why did you say train?"
"Because I'm transferring schools: too late for what?"
(Luke rubbed his eyes to rid them of tears) "Look Grace I'll move out, you don't have to. I can find another apartment, you won't see me I promise!"
"No Luke it's not that, I just have to get out of town."
"Where will you go?"
"Sorry, I can't say."
Well another great place to leave off.
