Here its is. The final chapter for today.
And it's the moment you've all been waiting for. Grace is finally going to reveal who she has a crush on. But, that's all I'm saying for now.
I won't be able to post a chapter tomorrow, or Friday, so that means I'll be posting 5 chapters on Saturday. (I bet you're excited already)
I hope you like this chapter.
I took a deep breath.
"It's..." I started. Then I stopped and said. "You promise you won't tell anyone?"
He nodded and leaned closer to me.
"It's...It's Mello."
There was a long silence. Until he said. "Really?" He said it as if it didn't make any sense.
"Yes. Really." I said, slightly offended.
"But...why?"
"You don't see it?" I asked.
"I'm a man, I don't understand women." he said, holding his arms up in surrender.
I rolled my eyes. "Please don't tell anyone. And that includes Mello."
He saluted me lazily and said. "Yes ma'am."
I sighed and leaned back in his sofa. "At least I told someone. I couldn't even tell Ellie about it. It was eating me alive."
"Well, it's understandable. I mean, you couldn't tell her because you knew that she wouldn't understand. I don't understand either."
"Thanks for giving me my diary back." I said, standing up.
"No problem." he said, opening the door for me.
I smiled and left his room. I walked to the office where L was sitting and sat down on the sofa.
"Did he have your diary, Grace-san?" he asked.
I nodded. "Turns out he had it all along."
"It works out well for everyone then, I suppose." he muttered, sipping his sickly sweet coffee.
"We haven't worked on the case lately. Shouldn't we do some work?" I asked.
He shook his head. "The killer has suddenly stopped killing. As soon as you said about another Death Note, the killings stopped."
"Maybe he's able to tap into our computer system so he could know where we were with the investigation." I suggested.
He shrugged his shoulders. "Possibly. I'd say there was a thirty-percent possibility of that happening."
"Thirty?" repeated.
"No, twenty-five-percent." he said after giving it some thought.
"Unless, it's just the killer taking a rest. A coincidence."
"No, too convenient." he muttered, taking another sip of his coffee. "Anyway, enough of the investigation, what happened with you and Matt?"
"Well...It's a long story."
"I have all day, Grace-san. Is that story longer than that?"
"Well, it's not necessarily a story, it's a secret."
"A secret?" he repeated.
"Yeah."
"Did something...happen in between you and Matt? How did Ellie-san put it? Oh yes. Did you and Matt sleep together?"
"No! No, of course not!"
"So, what did happen?"
"Well, when he took my diary, he read what was written in it. He wanted to know who I liked."
"You mean, liked as in love, right?" he asked.
I nodded.
"Care to share?"
I shook my head. "Like I said, it's a secret."
"Say no more. I understand." he said, taking another sip out of his coffee.
I smiled.
Dear Diary,
Today was another long and hard day. Matt took my diary. He managed the find out who I liked. It's Mello. To be honest, I hoped that I could keep the secret a secret for a long time. But I guess that's not happening. At least it's only one person. At least it wasn't Ellie that found out, she'd tell someone for sure. She has a bit of a big mouth.
Anyway, I'm too shy to tell Mello how I feel, so when they finally, I'll be regretting it. But, I can't bring myself. Oh God, what will happen when they all leave? I mean, I've grown so attached to them. I feel as if they're all my best friends. What am I going to do?
It's almost 2am. I have to go to sleep. I'll probably write more tomorrow. - Grace
I hope you liked that chapter. Review or whatever if you want more.
I finally have the whole plot sorted out. I'm around about halfway through the story. I'm almost done. This might be the first ever story that I've actually completed. My God I'm excited.
Anyway, I'll post more on Saturday. (Five chapters)
