Ok because of lack of reviews this might be my last chapter. I don't know if anyone is having the same problem that I am having reviewing, but I know that the system wont always let me review others stories. I am giving this one last chapter (unless of course I get more reviews) because I have already completed it, and because of the problem that I have had. So this is the last chance to keep this story. It will not be further wrapped up if I get no reviews. You will just be left on the usual cliffhanger. Sorry to all of you who read it if it does not get to continue. Goal: minimum of 5 reviews. At 41 now.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Chapter 16
Grace and Luke continue their conversation.
"What do you mean you were wrong?"
"I mean what I said Luke, I was wrong!"
"But… I'm confused."
"He didn't stop harassing me so I agreed to date him. Ya know… kind of like you did with your begging." She said trying to lighten the situation.
"Grace! That isn't funny. I never…"
"Hit me." She finished his sentence.
"He could have killed you!"
"That's not what he wanted. Look, I know it was a stupid thing to do, but at the time…(she paused seeing the upset look on Luke's face) All I'm saying is that if you knew what it was like having him stalk you and chase you every chance he had you might have done the same thing."
Luke smiled but it was a baffled smile he didn't understand what he had just heard.
"No, I would have gone to the police."
"Oh yeah, cops boy." Grace rolled her eyes smiling
Luke ignored the eye roll but continued. He was afraid for her, and she was smiling!
"Grace, you got lucky, He…(stopped because he couldn't bear the thought) you might not have been here today. All I'm saying is he would have went to jail. You wouldn't have had to sleep with him, or date him or anything!"
The smile disappeared from her face. "Wait, Wait, Wait, Who said that I slept with him?"
"Well… you did."
"No, you assumed. Girardi, that's why he's after me, because I didn't, When he was captured, they found this little book in his truck. It had names of all the girls he … had. And well, later after his psychiatric evaluation, it turned out that he has some type of severe obsessive-compulsive disorder. Apparently, He got ahead of himself and put my name in his book to soon. So now he's out to fix his mistake. Not only to fix his mistake though, he also is out for some revenge because… Oh shit! Adam! Luke, He's also going to be after Adam!"
"What for? Wait… How long were you with him?"
"About a month. Luke we have to tell Adam!"
"Grace ok!" He said shortly. A whole month! You dated a psycho guy who only wanted to sleep with you for a month!"
"I didn't know about that yet, and I had to, I couldn't just leave, at least not then. The only reason I got away without being hit at all was because when I finally did run he chased me in a stolen truck and the cops got him before he got me."
Luke was scared, Especially knowing his intentions and his mental capacity. What would this "revenge" be? How could he protect her? He tried to close his eyes to get some sleep as Grace called Adam, but he couldn't, He needed to be awake, to protect her.
When Grace made the call she got the answering machine. She decided to leave the message anyways because she figured no one else would be hearing it, especially since he and Joan were no longer together.
When the answering machine kicked in Adam and Joan were on the couch. They were watching TV and making out in between commercials. They had just gotten back together from their 3-year split two days before. When Joan heard Grace's warning she froze. She looked at Adam who shrugged his shoulders and acted as if it were no big deal. This she decided was to keep her calm.
But Joan knew it was a big deal. Especially since she had just met Grace's "cousin" Mitch earlier the same day in front of her house, which whom she told that Grace was in Indiana.
Well, I decided to stop a little earlier in the story than I actually could have, for more of a cliffhanger of courseJ. I have more actually finished if you are interested, but I will leave that up to you. Review if you wish me to continue. I'd be more than happy to; I really have enjoyed writing this. It is my first one so… We'll see what happens.
