Against my arranged marriage.

Chapter Thirty - Future

Six months later

~Laura~

Time had passed. Things hadn't got easier, not the slightest bit. Every day that goes by I think about Ash... What could of potentially been. And what hurts the most is that deep down I know it will never be, ever.

It had been six months. A lot had changed. I was now in a serious relationship with another, that other was Luke. How cliche, the guy I once loathed, refused to get married to... The guy who was an absolute jerk. I'm now in a serious relationship with this guy... I loved him. I never thought this would be, things really do change.

Even though I lost Ash, I have something else. It doesn't compare, obviously. Because Luke isn't Ash. But I felt that there was always something there between us. But I was just too scared to admit whatever it was due to the fact that I was already with someone else.

Not to mention I'm really pregnant with Ash's child... I have something left of him, something that will remind me of him everyday. Luke has stuck by me even though the child I'm carrying is not his. He is decent, It was like he had changed, or perhaps he always always this guy... He just didn't show this side of himself. But being 17 and pregnant was not great... Many people frowned upon it. I was too young to have a child and many believed I had a lot of potential. Potential that was supposedly being wasted. When me being pregnant didn't really change anything really, at least not in that context anyway!

Luke done everything for me really. I kinda took advantage of him, but I don't think he had a problem with it. Like believe me, he can speak up and voice his opinion.

Currently Luke was out... I didn't know where exactly. He just kinda upped and left. He done that a lot... I hardly ever woke up next to him. But things were still good. We got together not long after Ash passed really. It was the same night to be precise, well we kissed. I was fragile and vulnerable... He was there. I didn't waste much time at all, but I guess i was sorta in love with two guys the whole time. But I loved them both in different ways, and Ash will always be the one and only love of my life.

Georgia, she's still with Ethan. She was my only friend really, well Luke was my friend too... But he was also my boyfriend so really I classed him as my boyfriend and not my actual friend. I didn't see Georgia as much as I once did... I didn't live with her anymore.

I live with Luke. We share an apartment together, its quite nice actually. He was loaded, his family were rich... They still earned a fortune.

My parents. I hadn't heard from them really... I thought they would of made an effort due to the fact that I'm pregnant and will be giving birth to their grandkid real soon but no... They really don't seem to care. I don't know why I'm surprised... They never did care about me and this proves it.

I didn't work and I didn't need to really. Luke was at college... I did attend college for a short amount of time but it was so difficult, too difficult. So I dropped out, my grades from school were fine... Considering the circumstances and that I didn't put much effort it, my mind was on other things I done quite well.

I decided to finally leave this comfy bed... I didn't want to, the duvet was keeping me warm. As I got up, I was greeted by coldness... I wasn't really keen about this. I grabbed my dressing gown and put it on, perhaps that would keep me warmer. It was winter outside, and the heating hardly makes a difference.

I went into the living room and switched on the TV. I had nothing else to do, so I would resort to watching TV. I flicked through the channels, but there wasn't nothing that appealed to me... I was so bored... Where's Luke at? I hope he brings me back food.

After another hour of boredom, Luke returned home. He didn't have food... I was disappointed.

"Hey Laura." He smiled before sitting down next to me.

"Hi." I returned the smile.

"How are you today? Hows the baby?" He made conversation with me.

"I'm okay. And he's been quiet." I responded. He... Yeah that's right. At the ultrasound I found out that I was having a boy, a little boy. It was so sweet, I was so excited about it. And Luke assured me that he would raise this kid like it was his own.

"Mm.... I need to talk to you about something." Luke began before holding
my hands.

"Ok." I murmured.

"So I want you to tell me if I'm going too fast with things. But the past six months have been great. Great but difficult, I know it's been difficult. But we get through it together, we have each other... Thats enough right? I mean I love you Laura... You're you... You're unique. I don't even know what I was before I knew you. But I'm kinda glad about the arranged marriage thing. It gave me an opportunity to get to know you." Luke began... Why was he saying all of this? What did he want?

"What are you saying?" I frowned.

"I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I know we haven't been together for long... But its not just about time, its about how we feel. You're a great person, I can't wait to raise this kid with you... In fact we could maybe have another one day? But I want you to be mine, I want to make you mine." Luke told me. I still wasn't understanding... I was his. I loved him too.

"I love you." I murmured.

"Good." He began, he then fumbled about in his pocket and pulled out a small black box. Her opened the box which revealed a platinum ring with a sapphire gem in the middle... It was gorgeous. "Laura will you do me the honour? Will you make me more happier than you already have? Will you marry me?" He asked me.

So he's proposing to me? I don't know what to do or say. I wasn't expecting this... I feel overwhelmed, but i'm also really happy... He wants me!

"Laura?" Luke spoke, causing me to snap out of my thoughts and back into reality.

"So will you?" He asked me again. This was a silly question, he didn't even need to ask... The answer would always be yes.

"Yes." I replied. Luke looked really happy.

This was cliche, so cliche. I had ended up being the girl I said I would never be. I had changed so much. And what for? A guy? But It's not like I could complain... This guy is so worth it. He wasn't to begin with, but now he certainly is. I couldn't imagine life without him.

I was against my arranged marriage to Luke... But now I'm marrying him willingly, by choice. Something I never expected to happen.

A/n

Not gonna be an epilogue sorry. I think this gave enough closure. But saying that, its also quite shit and I'm sorry for that. 1) the way i write is bad. 2) Writers block/running out of ideas as this book is at its end. 3) its 2am :/

I'm gonna miss this book so much!!! I started writing the first part when I was 13! I love writing this even though its so very challenging.

Unedited, I will proof read this though to sort out any major mistakes.

Thanks for reading <3 thanks to my fans, its been a real honour!!
