《Saving Gracie | ✓》Chapter Nineteen: I'm So Stupid.
Advertisement
Usually, I would be crying my eyes out about how Luke was dared to do all this but I'm not. I'm just sitting on the grass, staring at the sky.
When I'm in this mood, I would usually talk to my mom but you know, she isn't here anymore and it still hurts to know that I practically have no one. Not my mom, not Luke... no one.
When Luke told me his story about the dare and everything, I didn't know what to think. I mean, once a player, always a player, right? He would do anything to get money and especially to make his title more known since I was the only girl left in the entire school that he hadn't even talked to.
I guess that makes me one of his girls, right?
Being in love, it is a terrible thing. As much as you want to know that everything will be okay in the end, it always turns out bad no matter how hard you try to keep it perfect. It's probably because the world wants us to be sad and alone but maybe it's because the world wants to teach us a lesson. You know, like forgive and forget? But my situation isn't even like that.
I can't forget Luke. As much as I want to, I can't. These past months that we have been spending together, it's like I'm used to seeing his face and hearing his laugh. It's like he has been here all my life but in reality, he has only been here for a few months and thats what makes everything complicated.
It's easier to get yourself to fall for someone but trying to get over them is probably the most hardest thing ever. Well, completing level for of 'the world's hardest game' is probably harder but that's not my point.

In the movies, they act like it's so easy to move on from someone you once loved but oh no, everything has to be harder in movies. I guess that's why they make movies like that; to teach us that life isn't a movie.
I guess that's what I was thinking when I first talked to Luke that day when I was in the hallway. I thought that everything would turn out amazing and we would be together in the end but like I said before, even though you put your hardest into the relationship, it still ends badly and thats what I hate about life.
"Can I just be happy for two seconds?" I scream out in frustration and I run my hands through my hair. My eyes are probably red from my running and crying scene before but ever since turned up here, I haven't cried at all.
I look at my mom's gravestone and let out a shaky sigh. "I made the wrong decision, didn't I?" I ask, looking at my mom's name. I run my finger over it, some dust going onto my finger. I let out a chuckle and roll my eyes.
"I'm so stupid." I say and let out a sigh. I cross my legs and play with the flower in between my fingers, twirling it.
"Why did you have to leave me, mom? You had to go at the worst time." I say and I feel a hand on my shoulder. I turn around, my heart racing as the thoughts of Luke standing behind me appears in my head but when I turn around, I look at the brunette.
"E-Eve?" I stutter, my eyebrows furrowing as Eve smiles down at me. She takes a seat on the grass next to me and let's out a sigh.

"I knew I would find you here." Eve says and I shrug.
"Okay."
"Don't you want to know why I'm here?" Eve chuckles and I shrug again.
"I have a lot on my mind right now so just go ahead and spill it." I say and Eve nods.
"Okay well, I just want to say sorry again. My baby sister was in the same position as you, you know? My parents didn't show any love at all and when my mom cheated on my father, my baby sister was broken. I mean, we were all broken but my sister depended on my parents so much. They were like what everyone calls 'relationship goals' nowadays." Eve explains and I turn to Eve, finding myself listening to what Eve has to say.
"What happened to your dad?" I ask and Eve smiles weakly before wiping a tear away from her eye.
"He... hung himself." Eve says, the smile still on her face and as I study her face, I can see that she is holding it all in; her emotions.
"I-I'm sorry." I say and Eve waves me off.
"Its okay, I'm just not used to the fact he... he is now here, you know?" Eve asks and I nod, a small smile on my face.
"I understand." I say and Eve places her hands in her lap as she glances at my mom's gravestone.
"You know, I thought you knew everything. I thought my father would've told you." I say and Eve rolls her eyes.
"That's what I thought too but all that your father told me was that your mom passed away ten years ago and that he had a daughter who is living with him. If I knew that your father was cheating on your mom with me, I would've ran for the hill, you know? I just had people who think that cheating is okay... like it has no impact on the other person whatsoever." Eve explains and I nod.
"I know." I say and Eve nods. As the silence hits us, a question appears in my mind and I turn to Eve.
"Wait, so where are you staying now?" I ask and Eve shrugs.
"My mom hates me since I basically slapped her for cheating on my dad and my sister... I don't even know where she is. I guess I'll have to check into a hotel for a couple of days until I find somewhere-"
"You don't have to do that."
"Yes I do. I don't want you to think that I am trying to take your mom's place while I am at your house. It will be uncomfortable for me." Eve says and I shake my head.
"I know your not going to take my mom's place. Look, just stay for a few more days and sort things out with my dad if you want to. I mean, it's your life so you can do whatever but yeah, I'm just saying."
"Why are you saying all of this?" Eve asks and I send her a small smile.
"Because I don't want to see another woman leave because of my father."

The Brotherhood
Follow Jacob as he heads off to begin his academic career as a freshman at Kingsland University. Although KU is one of the country's most prestigious institutions for higher learning, a school where many of the world's elite send their sons and daughter, it was not why Jacob picked Kingsland. Like many of the young men attending KU for the first time, his sole desire, above all else, was to become a member of The Brotherhood. He's heard the many stories and rumors surrounding this mysterious and secretive organization. Jacob is eager to peel back the layers and discover The Brotherhood's secrets, to wield its power, but will he be able to handle the truth that is their reality? Can he step thru that door and never look back? Those are just some questions he will face on his journey of self-discovery. Will Jacob be strong enough to see it thru to the end? Are you? _______________________ ***Content Warning*** This story focuses on gay characters and places them in sexual situations. Although the sexual content is not the story’s main focus, it does appear throughout, especially in the earlier chapters. Feel free to give The Brotherhood a pass if it's not your cup of tea. But if you give it a chance, it might surprise you. The story is not what you expect. I first posted The Brotherhood online in 2001 and finished it in 2013. Over the years, it developed a loyal following that has been waiting for a sequel for many moons. That time has finally come. I want to release a more updated version of TBH before dropping the new chapters for the sequel. I hope you enjoy it!
