《Saving Gracie | ✓》Chapter Twenty Seven: I Didn't Do That!
Advertisement
"Oh look at that." I hear a familiar person say with a chuckle but I don't move from my spot on Luke's lap. Instead, I continue to lay on his chest with my head resting in the crook of Luke's neck.
I hear the footsteps come closer and I can't help but let out a sigh, knowing that I have to open my eyes to see what this person wants and why they are deciding to bother me at this time in the morning.
The person taps me on the shoulder and I slowly open my eyes and turn around to see Bree, making me squeal in fright and jump off Luke completely. I fall on the ground with a thud and I groan loudly, hearing the same sound come from Luke who obviously woke up by the sound of me groaning in pain.
"What the hell?" I hear Luke groan and I got up slowly, rubbing my head in pain as Bree laughs in amusement. I sit next to Luke on the couch and rest my head on his shoulder, running my hands down my face.
"Did you really have to do that?" I ask Bree and she chuckles and nods, setting her black handbag on the coffee table. We both stare at Bree in anger, confusion and annoyance as she wipes away the tears in the corner of her eyes.
When Bree finishes laughing, she crosses her arms over her chest and raises an eyebrow at the both of us. "Why aren't you two at school yet?" Bree asks and I look over at Luke to see him frowning at his mom.
"Because we were sleeping until you woke us both up." Luke says and Bree shakes her head, a small grin on her face.

"Technically your girlfriend woke you up." Bree says and Luke sends a playful glare at his mom.
"Don't blame this on her, okay? Listen, we are both tired so can we just get five more minutes of sleep?" Luke asks and Bree rolls her eyes and shakes her head again.
"No because your already going to be late." Bree says and we both groan in annoyance.
"Please?" Luke begs and Bree continues to shake her head. Luke sighs heavily and runs a hand down his face.
"I said please though." Luke mutters under his breath but Bree still hears her son as she nods, a smile forming on her face. She grabs her handbag and begins to make her way to the kitchen but before she enters, she turns to us and points at the front door.
"I didn't hear me say 'go back to sleep' so hurry up and get to school before you both get in trouble for being late." Bree demands in a serious tone, entering the kitchen and I sigh, standing up.
"Come on. We have to call Eddie about today anyway." I say, remembering that we still have to start the important part of the plan today and Luke sighs before standing up and nodding.
"Fine."

"All you have to do is make your way down the hallway when you hear the first bell ring, okay?" Luke says to Eddie and he nods, pulling the cigarette away from his lips and dropping it onto ground.
"Yep, got it." Eddie says and Luke nods, turning around and walking towards me. He sends me a smile which makes my stomach flip and my heart flutter at the smile that I have still haven't got used to yet.

I don't think that I will ever get used to that smile, actually but who says that is a bad thing?
"You okay?" Luke asks and I nod, grabbing onto his hand as we begin to walk into the school. Luke stops at my locker and I suck in a deep breath to try and calm down the thoughts that are racing in my head.
As we begin to talk and try to act like we aren't up to anything suspicious, I notice Amy walking down the hallway, her eyes looking around like she is looking for something.
Maybe even someone.
Oh God, please don't be me.
Before I can say a word to Luke about Amy who seems slightly confused and angry, Luke is pushed to the ground by a furious female. I gasp and look down at Luke who is groaning while rubbing the side of his forehead which he had landed on. I look back at Amy to see her eyes narrowing at me in a very scary way.
She knows...
She knows about the whole plan...
I'm definitely screwed now!
"Explain." Amy growls, holding up her phone in my face and I move back against the locker to see the phone a little clearer since Amy practically shoved her phone right in my face.
I look at the screen, a little confused. "Uh, someone is calling you." I say and Amy groans and quickly taps something on her phone before shoving her phone back in my face but this time, I'm not confused.
I look at the photo on the screen and my eyes widen in horror. It is a picture of Amy practically naked and it shows that I have posted it on Facebook with the caption that says 'slut' at the top.
I didn't do that!
"Amy-" Before I can continue, Amy shoves her phone back in her pocket and sends her hand to my throat, pushing on it. I gasp for air but nothing seems to work as I find myself grasping at Amy's hand in desperation.
"Can't... breathe..." I mutter, my head beginning to spin. Amy raises her eyebrow at me and pushes harder on my throat.
"Oh really?" Amy asks but I can't say anything as I feel my body becoming weak with every second that passes. All of a sudden though, Luke pulls Amy away from me and pushes her against the lockers while I fall to the ground, letting the air finally fill my lungs.
"Don't you dare lay a hand on Grace, again!" Luke growls in anger but I can't seem to focus since my head is still spinning and my vision becomes blurry but all of sudden, I pass out, my body going numb almost instantly.

I wasn't sure what to say, so I ran my fingers through his hair, noticing for the first time the bits of red streaked through the dark brown, and smiled when he growled in delight. He leaned his forehead down, so it was resting on my belly and wrapped his arms around my back. "We should talk about this." He whispered with his head still on my stomach. I nearly didn't hear him. I was too focused on the sparks tingling through my arms as I caressed his back and continued my gentle assault through his hair."Ok. What should we talk about?" He took a deep breath and I watched as his shoulders slumped."I'll understand if you reject me. No one wants a defective mate."Cover made by @ViaAlyssaNicole
