See You Around~ Grester (completed)

Chapter Ten

I had rang Chester five times and each time it went straight to voicemail, making my heart sink a little deeper. Through every missed call and ignored text I lost a little more hope and it wasn't till the seventh day that I began to make my way Chester's house, to apologise because I couldn't spend another second without him. 

I opened the door and left the house, deciding to walk to his; I was half way down the road when I saw him, walking towards me. I stood frozen in my tracks, staring at Chester as he hurriedly made his way closer towards me. He looked up and his eyes immediately made contact with mine, with metres between us I was sure he could see the tears that pricked at my eyes. He ran now, towards my frozen frame, in shock of acually seeing him. Now he was steps away and all I wanted to do was leap into his arms and for him to cradle me as I cried into his neck but I reminded myself of all the times he ignored my calls and the emptiness he left me stranded in. We stood inches apart- his eyes held so many emotions and never left mine as he opened his mouth and began to speak.

"Hey..Grace look I'm so sorry. For saying those things and for storming out and every second after that. I don't know why I didn't come to see you or even call- I was such an idiot. And there's no excuses for the way I acted but all I can say is that I was scared. When the hospital rang all those weeks ago I swear my heart stopped beating and then when I sat with you as you were unconscious I was so frightened of losing you. So then, when you said what you said I knew I was losing you again. I'm lost without you Grace and I need you to know that how I acted was foolish and selfish and I am so so sorry. Is there any way we could.." 

I cut him off as my lips pressed to his. He melted my heart as he said those words and I knew I couldn't stay mad at him forever, my heart couldn't stay mad. He pulled away and stared into my eyes, I didn't realise how much I had missed every inch of him. I held both his hands in mine, circling his palms with my thumbs, the motion keeping me sane. 

"I'm sorry. I should've never have doubted you or said anything at all." 

He cupped my face in his hands and as he leaned in to kiss me, as our lips collided I wondered how I could've ever thought anything could go wrong because when our lips touched and the tingling sensation ran throughout my whole body I knew exactly where I wanted to be. In love with a man named Chester.

"I love you." He whispered into our kiss, the three words never failing to create butterflies in my stomach. 

"I love you too." 

Maybe something will go wrong, maybe this love wont last a lifetime; it's all out of my control. But whatever happens, whether we end up growing old together or if this ends tomorrow I knew that Chester would never leave my heart for he had made such a big impact on it. What Chester did to my heart was my body's way of telling me that this love would never go anywhere but up.
