In a review it was brought to my attention that I made a mistake. When I said two years ago referring to when Grace was telling Joan her story, I meant to have typed two years before Joan had arrived in arcadia. So Grace was not working when the Girardi family came to arcadia. It took place two years before. Thank you for catching my mistake. On another note this chapter is going to seem unusually short. Sorry, this is where I chose to stop, got to keep you guys waiting for more.
Disclaimer; I own nothing.
Chapter 10
As Grace seen Luke she froze. In a whispered voice she said "Luke." Although she had meant for it to be to herself he had heard.
He then froze himself as they stood staring at each other for an awkward 20 seconds. Grace then blinked hard catching herself. She turned toward Joan.
"I have to go."
Grace then bolted toward the door in an attempt to miss seeing Luke. Luke was still standing there however, and just as she was about out the door, he reached out and grabbed her, spinning her around to look at him. She was in shock, not only by the sudden spin, but the feeling of him touching her again. He then pulled her into him to hold her. He was not thinking of the wisdom in it, he only thought about how much he had missed her and the closeness they once had between them.
Grace had momentarily forgotten they were not together, his hand holding her head to his shoulder made her feel comfort, which she had been without since their breakup. It made her feel… right.
Then a car door slammed outside bringing her back to reality. Their eyes connected for one final stare before she pushed away, bolting out the door.
"Grace wait!" he said feeling his heart sink within his chest. But by this time he knew better than to chase her. It only seemed to lead him to a more broken heart.
He looked at Joan fiercely with tears again in his eyes, just like his last confrontation with Grace.
"If you know anything…(pause) why is she doing this?" he finished with a demanding tone.
"I know you know."
Joan looked at Luke blankly, looking as if to find the words she wanted to say were stamped on his forehead. What could she tell him? He was her brother, but Grace was her friend. Each of them loved each other and yet, they were not together. To who does her loyalty belong? Joan thought about her decision before deciding if she should tell him of Grace's story or not.
Well, you probably expected a cliffhanger from me lol. Hope you enjoyed it. I would really appreciate some reviews, especially if you want me to continue.
