Ok here is your long awaited chapter, lol just playing, but on a more serious note let's hope Joan of Arcadia gets renewed.
Chapter 11
Disclaimer; I own nothing.
Joan sighed at Luke's question.
"Luke."
"Joan! This is serious!"
"Yes I know, but it probably won't change anything between you and her, plus I promised her I wouldn't tell you."
"Joan please!"
"Luke, you are my brother and I love you, but you will always be my brother, but if I don't honor my promise to Grace, I could lose a friend and I don't have a whole lot of them."
"If you don't tell me Joan, I could lose the love of my life. (Luke got choked up) Joan please, give me this, just this one thing. I'll do anything. I just have to have a chance to get her back. I love her."
Joan then thought about her relationship with Adam, and how she felt about him. Even though they were no longer together she still loved him and they were still friends. She could not imagine not having that with him. She then thought about her brother and his relationship with her best friend. He loved her, and she loved him. She saw the resemblance in their relationships. She spoke.
"Ok Luke, I'll tell you, but you have to promise me you will fix things with her, because if it works out I think she will forgive me for telling you."
"I promise!" Luke said with a smile.
Joan told Luke the story, not leaving out any details that had been given to her. When she finally finished Luke thanked her and took off to find Grace.
Although he did not find her, he did find out where she was going. He went to Rabbi Polanski's (who required a lot of information regarding his having been living with Grace) before he gave Luke any information about where she was headed.
She was headed to Indiana the next day, a small town called Daleville to be specific. Her grandmother had lived there years ago and had told her many stories of the place. She thought it sounded like a pretty interesting place to live, but the best part was that it wasn't on most maps. Therefore it would be very hard to find, especially if you didn't know what you were looking for.
Luke was very excited when he had gotten this news, so excited in fact he went and bought the same train ticket Grace had bought. He had a plan. He was going to board after Grace, wait in another cabin until it got up to speed, and then confront her. She would have to talk to him. The plan was perfect.
Luke slept well that night. He knew the next day he would get his chance.
When he was finally on the train and it was up to speed he went to the cabin Grace was sitting in. He touched her shoulder and she jumped.
"What are you doing here?"
"Looking for you."
"Well, how did you find me?" She exclaimed looking rather upset.
"Your dad."
"Did you tell him about…?"
"Yes, I told him the whole story."
"What EXACTLY did you tell him?"
"I told him about us… and the guy."
"What? Joan told you! Gees, now I'm down to just Rove as a friend."
"What about me? Do I not count? Wait; wouldn't it be good for you not to have friends? I mean, isn't that why you're leaving, to protect them?
"Yes but…"
"Well Grace, I'm not leaving. I'd much rather be dead than spend any more time without you. I don't care if you just want to be friends or whatever. This is where I belong, sitting you helping you through this."
Grace studied him. There was no way he was backing down from this. She had never even heard him talk like that. It even almost made her sick to her stomach because his words sounded like a soap opera, but then again it was cute and brave.
She put a finger on his lips to silence him.
"Fine." She said, her eyes glimmering.
He began rambling again. "When people are meant to be together Grace…"
She silenced him this time with a kiss.
When she finally pulled away he asked, "Does this mean we're together?"
She smiled and put her forehead against his looking down.
"I'm sorry." She said, "I just didn't want you getting hurt."
"I know, and I understand, but I promise you there is nothing that hurts more than being away from someone you love."
"Yeah but there is still this guy", Grace said, "He is still after me."
With that they kissed.
"Well, I guess I'm just going to have to protect you from him."
Grace lie against him while Luke held her the rest of the trip.
Although Grace was happy to be with Luke she was now worried more than ever. She did not believe Luke knew what he would be up against.
Well, look guys no major cliffhanger! Lol it's a first for me. Hoped you liked the chapter I liked it because it shows the more vulnerable side of Grace and the stronger side of Luke. This may seem out of character but I think I've done a pretty good job of keeping them in character thus far. I thought it would fit the story well, plus how else could you get them back together? I do believe in the show we have seen glimpses of these traits in both of them. Anyways I'll quit defending myself lol you don't want to hear my analysis anyways you either agree or you don't, but I do want to hear yours! Tomorrow we find out the fate of the show this is based on. Hopefully it is good news, but I'm really going to need reviews to keep me typing, especially if the news is not good, so with that I leave you, REVIEW!Hopefully this longer chapter makes up for the shorter one.
