How Could A Heart Like Yours Love A Heart Like Mine

Have a nice life

"Grace? Are you in Birmingham?" Tommy asked shocked.

"I am" I said while I had a small smile on my face. Tommy stayed quiet.
"Tommy, I need to talk to you." I said serious.
"can't talk. I'm to busy. The wedding is tomorrow." He sighed.
"Please.. it's important." I pleased. He stayed silent again.
"Thomas?" My voice broke. I was so stressed.
"Alright. I'll come over tomorrow before the wedding." He said quick while he hung up.
Woah. He was so cold. It felt like he changed.

I went back to aunt Emma.
"Well??? What did he say?" She asked.
"He didn't say much.. He's coming over tomorrow but.. but I think I'm too late. I said shocked.
"Oh sweetheart.. everything will be okay." She tried to comfort me.
"But no think about this.. I will ruin his life. He made a deal for the sake of his company. I can't just expect him to let everything fall apart for me? What was I thinking." I sighed.
"You're in love Grace! And maybe he's in love with you too. And that's all that matters. If he loves you back, it doesn't matter what he's losing. As long as he has you!" She said confident.
"Yeah.. IF he loves me.."

I was woken up the next morning by the sound of the doorbell. OH NO. He's already here? I was still in my nightgown but I ran down the stairs. I didn't even look in the mirror . The doorbell rang again.
"I'M COMING!" I shouted. My heart was pounding as fast as it could. Without any thoughts I opened the door. Tommy's eyes fluttered. He looked at my clothes with an amazed look on his face. This was when I realized what I was wearing.
"I'm..I'm SO sorry. I overslept." I chuckled. A small smile appeared on his face. My heart jumped.
"Come in.." I said quickly. I closed the door behind him and I guided him to the living-room. My aunt was still sleeping so we were all alone.
"Please sit." I insisted. I only noticed now how beautiful he looked. He was wearing a beautiful black suit with a little flower in his chest pocket. My heart broke at the site. He was all dressed up for the wedding. He noticed the change of my expression so he spoke up.
"Why did you want me to come over Grace?" He asked cold.
"I.. I ran away from London again.. but this time with my mother's approval." I smiled.
"Oh, so, you're not married?" He asked curious.
"No, I left a week before the wedding." I said calm. He nodded but no words were spoken.
"Tommy.." I sighed.
"There hasn't been a day without me thinking of you." He said while he looked me straight in the eye. A sigh of relief escaped from my mouth. 

"Tommy I'm p-"

"No but Grace listen, It doesn't matter how many times I think of you. Nothing has changed between us. I'm getting married today. I have no place in my life for stupid lovegames." Tommy said cold. My smile disappeared from my face. I slowly felt my heart break into little pieces. I could barely move a muscle but I nodded my head. Tears were forming in my eyes. 

"Look Grace," he kneeled before me and he grabbed my hands. "Grace I'm sorry for everything I have done to you. You deserve so much better. Everyday I think about the gunshot that killed your father and everyday I wish I could take it back." He said. He kissed my hands. 

"How could a heart like yours ever love a heart like mine?" His voice broke. A small tear fell from his cheek. 

"It's okay. I understand." I said while I wiped away his tear. 

"Now go Thomas! Go and live your life. But please, don't forget to think about me sometimes." I smiled. 

"Always." He said strong. With that he stood up and left for his wedding. The moment the door closed I broke down. I sat with my back against to door and I pulled my knees to my chest. I was crying my eyes out. I heard aunt Emma run of the stairs but I didn't lift up my head. I didn't have the straight. 

"What happened Grace? What did he say about you being pregnant?" She asked.

"I didn't tell him." I said crying.

"What? Why the hell not Grace? This was your only chance!" She whispered-shouted.

"I couldn't! I wanted him to choose love, not just the baby's." I cried. 

"Oh Grace.."
