~After the funeral~
(Alice's P.O.V.)
I went inside and sat on the couch. Luke came in and sat beside me and put his arm around me as I hugged him tight and cried. "He's gone now forever and won't take another breath and see the light of day again." I cried as he stroked my hair slowly and softly comforting me. I look down at the locket and then look back at Luke. He had this look on his face like he knew all the pain I was feeling. He hugged me tight and I hugged him back. I looked into his eyes and he took a deep breath. "At least we both know he isn't suffering anymore and now especially with Chris going to Jail." He said as I thought about it and Luke was right. " I... I guess so but it just sucks having him not be here." I said still crying a bit letting one last tear fall to my cheek. He wiped the teat off with his thumb and kept his hand on my cheek as he and I just looked into each other's eyes.
I could feel both of us lean in my phone rang. I grabbed it and I got a text from Clover asking if I was alright. I replied to her yes and then turned back to Luke. " So your alright now?" He said as he looked at me and I nodded yes. I know I am fine but never alright because he's gone but he will never be forgotten. I have learned that he can't suffer any more since Chris is in jail and he isn't in pain anymore. I guess you can say I am alright but not alright cause it feels like I lost the only person who was ever there for me.
I get pulled away from my thoughts by Luke grabbing my hand. "What are you thinking about?" He said as I took a breath. "Nothing really but I don't know what to feel I mean I just told Clover I was alright but I don't know if I am alright. I feel alright that I know he is in a better place without suffering and pain but he was still my brother and the only one there for me." I said as he pulled me close. "Don't worry he will always be in your heart and I will always be here for you. I know I was a jerk and just cared for my reputation but now I don't care about anything but you. I heard you singing and it was like my whole life has changed for the better. I have hurt so many girls but I know I will never hurt you. I have never felt the feeling I have with you than I have with any girl. You are special to mean and mean a lot to me. I remember when Chris went and hit you and I jumped in to protect you I know I wasn't doing it just because I was trying to save some girl. I tried saving the girl I care about and will only care about. Alice I know that you have seen both my good and bad side but you need to know. With all that we have been through I was confused because I thought I could get with you when you first interviewed me but when you said no and I got angry I never stopped loving you." I look up at him and think about it. Did he just say he loved me. " I know your looking at me like I'm crazy but I love you Alice I have loved you even when I was bullying you I can't get you out of my head. When we kissed I felt like the world stopped and I wished it would have never ended. I know I said I hated you but I just never knew what the feeling was whenever you were around me until that night with Michael and Chris. I love you Alice and am not afraid to say it." He said as I felt shocked at his words. He loves me he actually loves me.
I look into his eyes and take a deep breath. " When you made my life a living hell I never thought you would actually make it worse than it was. But than when you were nice on my birthday I never thought me saying I would tell Michael no to going with him would make you so mad. But then you kissed me and saved me from someone who had made my life and my brother's more of a living hell. I thought about all of it and I feel like I love you to. Even though you did do what you did you were still my hero when I needed you. If you never took me home I would have been stuck with Michael while Anthony could have been hurt worse and left sooner. I know I a in love with you because you never left my head either and when we kissed it felt like butterflies and fireworks. I love you to Luke." I said as he smiled then looked like he was thinking about something. " Wait so you were going to say no to Michael if I asked you to the game?" He said as I nodded then he got up. "Wait here." He said than raced to his room.
He came down with a note and a black box. I look at him and wonder what was in it. He sat down next to me and gave me the box and note then looked into my eyes. "I got you this and wrote the note. I was going to give you it on your birthday but I thought since you were going with Michael you would say no cause I would just hurt you. But know I would never hurt you and that I wrote the note from the heart and I got the necklace because it reminded me of you" He said as I opened the note and started reading.
~ Note~
Dear Alice,
Well first of all just know I am not the best at writing and especially writing about how I feel. I just can't believe I could ever hurt you like I did and I can never forgive myself for that. You are an amazing and beautiful girl who doesn't care about anything that people say. I feel like I have feelings for you but I was afraid to tell you in person because I have never felt like this before. Whenever I see you my heart beats faster and when you walk away my heart breaks and I feel like there is a piece missing from my heart. You are the only girl who makes me feel like this and I just wanted to tell you that I love you for all your beauty and for who you are. I may have issues with my anger but just know that if you give me a chance I will never hurt you. I wish that I could go back to the interview and show you who I really am but I was just scared you would think that this "tough jock that is a jerk" could have a caring side to him. I care for you and will never lie and hurt you. To prove this here is something I bought because it reminded me of you since your birthday was coming up and since you love music. I hope you like it and I hope you will think about the question inside the case. I'm sorry for everything and hope you can think of forgiving me and think about the question I am going to ask you.
Happy birthday and Sorry for everything.
With love from Luke
I look at the note and he hands me the box and I open it to find a necklace. It was a sterling silver necklace that had an with note with a blue opal. I look at it in awe and smile at Luke. "Opal for my birthstone?" I question as he nodded yes. I take it out of the box and Luke grabs it and goes behind me to put it on. I grab my hair as he puts the chain around my neck and closes the clasp. he comes back around and I look at the necklace. " So where is this question that you wanted me to answer?" I asked as he opened the box again and lifted the cotton that the necklace sat on before he put it on my neck. When I saw it I gasped as he looked at me. " Right here Alice will you be mine?"
