a lot is about to go down also this picture has nothing to do with this chapter I just love liz you know
"Michael? What the hell are you doing here?"
"I have to talk to you," he says, shaking his head, "Is Cat home?"
"No," I shake my head, a confused look on my face, "She's at the rink with Ashton."
His eyebrows raise in surprise, "So you know?"
I nod, stepping aside to let him in.
"When did you find out?" He asks, walking inside now. I hate to admit it, but he is still so attractive, if not more.
"I walked in on them last week," I laugh lightly, and he shakes head, "Me too."
"Do you want anything? Water?"
"No, no," he shakes his head, "Grace I really need to tell you something."
"Okay?" I say, getting a little nervous.
He takes a deep breath, shaking his head, "God, I planned everything I was going to say on the way here but now I can't think of a word."
"Michael, I'm confused," I laugh lightly, and he shakes his head again, as if he is gathering his thoughts.
"I love you, Grace," he says, and I feel my heart literally fall out of my ass, "I still love you, I never stopped loving you, and I have no idea what to do about it."
I take a step back, not knowing what else to do.
"You are the only reason I even graduated high school. I graduated for you, I maned up for you. You were my purpose."
"I was a shitty teenager," he laughs, "I was a real shitty guy. I did drugs, I had to much sex, I partied way to much, hell I even smoked a few times. But then you showed up," he sighs, "You showed up out of no where and cleared my life up. You gave me the ambition to do anything and everything. You made me realize that I can have a life, and that I want that life with you."
"Grace, I love you," he says, walking up to me and putting his hand on my cheek, "Please tell me you still love me too."
"I have Luke," I take his hand from my face and lower it, shaking my head, "Michael, I have Luke. He is the perfect guy. I can't do this to him."
Michaels face falls as he steps away from me, "I'm not like Cat and Ashton. We're not like Cat and Ashton. I can't do that to Luke, and I won't. I care about him, Michael."
I shake my head, "You broke up with me, if you don't recall. For reasons I don't even know," I furrow my eyebrows, "It wasn't because it 'wasn't working out', like you said, because it was working out. But I don't want to even know those reasons, because I have Luke."
He shakes his head and walks around me to walk out the door, "You may have Luke, but I will still love you, Grace," he says quietly, before opening the door and walking out.
He stops, opening the door again and looking at me, "And Luke might be the perfect guy, but that doesn't mean he's the perfect guy for you."
He closes the door behind him, leaving me standing there stunned.
Is Luke the perfect guy for me?
Of course he is, he's smart, attractive, kind and caring. He's perfect, how can anyone not see that?
Luke is already worrying about Michael, I can't tell him that he came here. Of course I won't tell him, that would just be dumb.
