How It Ends {l.h}

Chapter 29

Claire's POV

I tossed and turned -of course caring my tummy- all night long. All I thought was about how tomorrow I would be saying bye to all my friends and I would have to survive this pregnancy with not much help. Grace had an education. And Anna...was technically, somewhere.

As I groaned in frustration,
I heard the door open revealing Luke.

"Luke?" I ask.

"Did I wake you up?" He quickly asks.

"No." I sighed.

"Can I talk to you?"

"Yeah sure." I sat myself against the headboard and patted the space next to me so he can sit.

He rubbed his eyes and walked over and sat next to me.

"Claire." He sighed as he plopped himself down.

"Luke." I mocked.

"I'm really scared." He blurts out.

I scrunch up my eyebrow in confusion. The room was too dark to see each other's face but he probably knew what I was thinking of.

"Yesterday I heard Grace sing Treacherous from Taylor Swift. In confusion, I decided to listen to that song. It's about how one likes someone and has this relationship, you know that would never continue. I feel like Grace was singing that to herself." He explained along with a sigh.

"Well she sings random songs at random time." I reply.

"It's just, this time it was different. The way she sang was different and I just can't help but think she sang that song to herself and if she thinks our relationship's not gonna work..." He didn't finished, he groaned and sighed.

"Luke, it'll be totally fine trust me..." I say but I realized a tint of dishonesty in my tone.

"Why do you sound so unsure?" He whispers.

I frown to myself, asking myself why I had sounded so unsure.

"I don't know." I reply in all honesty.

"What is it Claire?" He plead.

"Have you listened to I Knew You Were Trouble by Taylor?" I asked, making the explanation simple as possible.

"Yeah."

"Well listen to it more carefully and- no actually, watch the music video and listen to it carefully." I say.

Without any word, Luke sped out of my room. I sighed, knowing I had somewhat betrayed my best friend. I tossed and turned again, and realized there was nothing I can do to sleep so I decided to go on my phone and go into tumblr.

As I found some random funny textposts to get rid of the other things in mind, the door flew open again. I turned the small lamp on to see Luke standing in front of the door, looking straight into my eye with a stern face which made me scared a bit. His face soon softened a bit and came over next to me. The whole time, he looked as if something was bugging him. There was no way he could've watched the whole video considering it had been about 2 minutes since he had left.

"Did Grace think I was a bad news?" He asked, a hurt in his tone.

"Come sit down Luke." I gulped my own saliva as I turned my phone off.

"I thought Grace liked me." He whimpered.

"Grace loves you Luke, she really does. You have to trust me with that." I start. "She never thought you were bad news or anything, she just thought the idea of being with you was a bad news. I don't mean like she never liked you or anything-" I pause for awhile while I continue.
