criminal case: oneshots of chaos

chapter 33: our happily ever after

summary: the version of why grace broke off her engagement with luke.

luke knew that something was off, which was strange because everything had seemed to be so perfect, the weather was wonderful, he had a good day at work, he just couldn't understand why he had an uneasy feeling, like something bad was about to happen to him, or something happened to Grace.

But so far he didn't get a call about anything, Maybe his mind was just trying to play a trick on him.

His day was going to be perfect, He was going to be seeing his fiance soon, She said she was going to be a bit late because of a doctor's appointment.

So he waited for a while, But it was almost an hour, He tried to calm himself down but he was so worried because Grace said that she was going to get off earlier, She should have been back by now, But Luke tried to call himself down.

He didn't want to seem like he was a bad fiance or possessive one because he wasn't that kind of person.

He was just worried about grace.

Maybe his paranoia was finally like getting to him.

luke: Maybe I should take a break for a few days, Everything is going to be fine.

then grace walked in, looking upset.

He knew it, he knew something was wrong and he was right!

luke: grace, what's wrong? Did something happen?

grace: i'm so sorry Luke, i'm so sorry......

luke: what's wrong?

grace: i.....I want to cancel our engagement.

luke:....what?

grace: i'm sorry luke......i'm so sorry, but i believe this is for our own good, i promise i'll explain everything.

luke: grace.......

grace: you need to sit down for this, i'm sorry if this is sudden, but we haven't discussed the wedding yet.....oh, i feel like the most horrible person on the planet!

luke: grace, please calm down and tell me what's going on, please......

grace: i....i went to the doctors today and they told me.....

luke: grace, if you're sick then you can tell me, i'll always be by your side no matter what happens, in sickness and in health.

grace: i was just told that I was infertile, it has nothing to do with my age but I just can't give birth to a baby.

luke: grace.....

grace: i know you always wanted to start a family but I can't give you that, i just feel awful for denying you the privilege of having a child, I know that you always talked about having a baby of your own, I just feel so guilty because I can't give you that, You deserve someone who can give you a baby, But that someone isn't me.

luke: grace, We can talk about this.

grace: I've already made of my mind and besides I already accepted a job somewhere else, Even if I wasn't infertile, I wouldn't be home.....

luke: But we can still work this out.

grace: My parents had a long distance relationship but I never saw my dad, He was always gone and I felt so sad.....I just don't want to live that way, I'm so sorry Luke.

luke:'tears up'

grace:'hugs him'I wish things were different, But Fate has already decided my fate.

luke: But we can't let this stop us.

grace: well I have to go in a week, i was going to tell you about that but then my doctor's appointment came up and.....I'm sorry if it seemed like I lied to you, but I didn't lie at all, you can call my doctor and he'll confirm it, i really am infertile and there is nothing I can do about it, The doctor said the treatments could be risky, Even if I did get pregnant, There's a good chance I can lose the baby and damage myself even more.

luke: I never said you were lying at all.

grace: Well I didn't want to make it seem like I was lying.

luke: well I'm worried about you, you're making decisions too fast, i think you need to take a deep breath and think about this.

grace: i have thought about it and I have made my mind, i'm sorry Luke, i really am sorry, i was so happy when you proposed to me, when we first started dating, But I guess I was just made to live an unhappy life.

luke: grace-

grace: I know you're going to tell me that I deserve to be happy, But I feel like I don't.

luke: Is it because of what happened in the past?

grace: It has everything to do with the past, present and future, So many things have happened that I don't even know what to do, I just need a fresh start, It doesn't mean I'm going to date anyone ever again, You'll always be my true love, I just feel like things aren't going to work out, I want to make this work but I don't know how.

luke:...Then I'll be waiting for you.

grace: huh?

luke: I will be waiting for you until you are ready.

grace: You want to wait for me? But why do you want to wait for me after everything I just told you? I thought your heart would have been broken by now.

luke: my heart is broken but that doesn't mean I hate you, i'm understanding why you're doing this, i just want you to be happy, a true partner would wish their partner happiness, you're not doing anything bad, i get that a long distance relationship would be complicated and the fact that you think that you won't make me happy, i'm worried about your mental health more, Maybe it's good to get out of this town, As long as you're happy, That's all that matters to me, You have helped me so much And now it's my turn to help you.

grace:....'cries and hugs luke'

luke:'hugs grace and gently kissed her forehead'i promise that things are going to get better, you have to trust me.

grace: i'll always trust you.

luke:'gently wipes grace's tears away'

grace:'crying'i'm so sorry.....i'm so sorry.....'cries'

luke knew that breaking the engagement off was a good idea, he loved grace, but she deserved to be happy and be in a better state before she could decide what to do with her life.

he wanted to make sure grace lived happily ever after, after all.

he just hopes that she would get a lot better once she leaves town and is able to live a lot happier.

this town is poison to so many people, grace was one of the victims to suffer.
