How It Ends {l.h}

Chapter 13

Luke's POV

"So, tell me about it? Why would you cheat on me?" Grace asks, calm than I expected.

I did not cheat on her. Well no, I did. But I didn't want to. This all started when I went to the mall with Calum and we both were buying some new pair of black skinny jeans. We decided to go to the food court and there, Niomi splashed coffee all over my shirt and so we exchanged numbers. That was a week ago and we talked a lot and met each other frequently. But yesterday, it was different. We were both just watching a movie, not as cuddled as I would with Grace but when the movie finished Niomi kissed me. AND I kissed her back which I regret like hell. The reason why I came back with Niomi earlier was, well not exactly with her. I was going to go check on Grace and she was just getting her stuff. We both agreed we won't do this again, but I knew Grace would never believe me, especially at the moment.

"Luke" Grace sighs. "I'm sorry I've been yelling at you but-well, anyways, I don't care if you want don't like me anymore. I don't care if you want to be with Niomi or not. It's fine. I will do still think of you as one stupid douche, because you did cheat on me and I don't really like getting back together with someone who cheated on me. But I know I'm not a good girlfriend, I mean I'm not even a good person. Niomi is much better."

I hear the hurt in her voice. She shrugs and then runs off suddenly.

I'm not even a good person. I've heard that a lot, from Grace. The time when she was really depressed, she kept on mumbling on about her being a bad person. How she wasn't a good person. How she shouldn't be even alive because she was such a bitch to everyone. I did not want her to be depressed like that again. Her parents passed away not long ago and now a best friend, also a boyfriend betrays and lies to her.

A minute later, Ashton comes in.

"Why is Grace crying?" He asks me, a bit pissed off by his tone.

"Wha-what?" I ask in shock.

"Well Grace ran off to the bathroom, came back with puffy eyes but then broke down, crying she missed her parents, and how a bad person she was. If I remember, she will end up like she did before." Ashton explains.

End up like before. When she was depressed. Lock herself in her room, without eating anything, crying her eyes out. From then, she would start saying how "bad" she was. Everyone might think, "Oh just bad", but it wasn't like that for Grace. Bad meant stupid, ugly, all those negative points. She was a really bright girl, who laughed all the time no matter what, made everything positive and that was why she would only use bad. To the people who knew her a lot, like us, though knew what the bad meant.

And I knew this all was because of me.

"Hey?!" Ashton snaps me out of my thoughts.

"What?"

"Did you- What did you do to Grace?" He asks.

"I-I- Well, I might've cheated on her. I just, I dunno if she's heartbroken" I trail off, "But I betrayed her, and she's had a tough time these past months and I made it worse."

"Well I think she is heartbroken. She did like you, a lot, or else she wouldn't come here to surprise you guys, we'll never thought this would happen. I mean why didn't we even know about you cheating? We knew about Niomi. But how the intertwining and stuff?" Ashton's voice got sharper and angrier each second. "Learn something, really." He spats and goes off to the lounge where I hear a sob.

I was in the kitchen so I went to get some water for her.

I entered the lounge and saw every pair of eyes on me. One bloodshot.

"Here." I quietly hand her the water.

Grace stays there, now looking down. Grace was hugging Claire and Calum behind her. Michael next to Calum with Anna.

"You don't even care about me." She whispers.

"Now's not a good time, Luke." Michael says and he takes the water in my hand. He gives it to Grace but she shakes her head. He then puts it down on the table.

"Y-You should go." Calum tells me.

My best friends were mad. Obviously.

Calum's POV

Grace kept on crying and crying, as if she let out everything she's been holding. She started hyperventilating a minute ago, and she still has a plastic bag against her mouth and breaths slowly in it.

"Can I be alone with Grace for awhile?" I ask everyone.

They all nod as they all leave to the kitchen and I stay with Grace.

"Grace, is there anything you want to do?" I ask, worried.

"Cry. Sleep." She mumbles.

I sigh and take her hand.

"Let's go up to your room okay?"

She nods and she weakly gets up. She clutched my shoulder for some help.

I led her upstairs, to her room and she immediately plumps down on the bed. I gesture her to wait a minute and I run downstairs to the kitchen.

"I'll stay with her, just in case." I bit my lips.

"Do you think......" Michael says and trails off.

"I dunno, I'll just stay with her so she won't do anything." I sigh.

I look at Claire and Anna who had a confused look on their face. I hug Claire with a kiss and run back to Grace's room to see her sleeping. I sit down on the bed, next to her.

"Grace." I whisper to the sleeping Grace, "Please don't do anything, we all love you."

"Ca-Calum" Grace croaks, making me jump.

"Hey Grace." I greet her.

"I'm such an idiot choosing Luke." She grumbles.

"Nyah, Luke's the idiot one. You're not a fucking idiot, you make good choice. You're wise. Luke messed things up." I reply back.

She sighs.

"Luke...Luke reminds me of parents. When we have fun, I don't but he just reminds me of my parents so much. And-And so when he cheated on me, I just, I lost Luke and I felt like I lost everything. I have you Calum and I have the boys and Claire and Anna, but it was, it was a bit different. Luke helped me so much when my mum and dad died...but now. I-"

"Grace...." I trail off and give her a hug.

Right, Luke was the one with her all the time when her parents died. They were together and Luke cared about her a lot. Luke was that kind of a guy. Before, Grace would see Luke, which would remind her of parents. Usually, she would go hug Luke or something knowing she was safe. But now when she meets Luke, she would think of her parents, then Luke helping her but suddenly leaving in a way. Her parents died, and someone she trusted had betrayed him. Betraying. That was a tough thing, I knew.

"Luke, then parents. Not really parents then Luke. But Luke then parents. Luke then parents." Grace sighs.

"Go to sleep." I tell and she nods. She pulls the blanket more up to her chin and drifts off to sleep. Me, on the cover sit back on the head of the bed, wishing Grace wouldn't do anything. She still hasn't, and she never has, but you never know.
