Grester: How it all began

Chapter 7

The flight landed and they let Chester and I off first. Once I left the gate I went to the desk and asked to use the phone to call Kim, one of Gooses care takers at the kennel. "KIM IS SHE OKAY!!?" I asked crying. I don't know what would do with out Goose. She was my best friend. "Grace calm down. She is fine. We have her. She is shaken, and won't stop barking. I think she needs to see you Grace, you need to come home."
"I can't Kim I have the no filter shows I can't just leave. My mom is coming to the show can she take Goose with her?" I asked praying the answer was yes. "Only with your permission. By be warned she is very hostile right now." Kim said clearly trying to warn me. "I know. My mom can do it. Thanks Kim take care." I hung up the phone and hugged Chester, my face buried in his chest. "What happened? Is she okay?" He whispered. "Yea. She is fine my mom is going to bring her to the show." I replied my face still in his chest. He smelled good considering he had just come off of a plane. "See what did I tell you. It's gonna be fine." He said holding me closer. The flight attendant had gotten off of the plane and was walking over. "Is your dog alright ma'am?" She asked. "Oh yes. They found her she is fine." I said smiling and looking at Chester. "Well you two are very fortunate. That dog of yours is pretty lucky to have two loving owners like you two." She responded. We smiled and said thank oh and she walked away. Mamrie and Hannah had gotten off the plane and came over. "Is she okay?" They both asked In Unison. "Yea she is fine. She is coming down for the show tonight, Graces mom is bringing her down." Chester said. "That's great!" Hannah said. She leaned in to give me a hug. I leaned in too. We embraced for a while and it felt good. One of the warmest embraces I've ever received. I loved Hannah so much and hugging her felt so good. But Chester. Plus Hannah is dating Mamrie. They are happy together. Snap out of it grace. We got out and I to our rental car. Another suv. Hannah and Mamrie in the front and Chester and I in the back. We were cuddled up when I heard Chester say it. "I love you Grace." He whispers it so softly into my hair. I needed to tell him. I needed to tell him I also have feelings for Hannah. I sit up one foot away from Chesters side. "Chester?" I asked shakily. Fiddling with my hands while looking down. "Yes Grace?" "I need to tell you something." In the corner of my eye I saw Hannah tilt her head to hear better. Looking in the rear view mirror towards the back of the car. She knew I was going to do it now. "Look over the last tour... I really got to know you and.. And I need to tell you know before it's too late." I started crying a little. "Oh my gosh. Grace are you okay? Look if you're not ready then don't tell me. It can wait." He said softly moving closer and cuddling me to his side. "No it can't." I said. "Okay. What is it?" He asked. I can't believe I am doing this. It is going to break his heart. "Chester,

I still love Hannah."
