THAT ONE SPECIAL PERSON
12
As we pulled up slowly to the house, I unlocked the car door and ran inside. I heard Blake screaming behind me, but even I didn't care. I looked behind me as I slammed the door, and hurried down the hallway, and into my old bedroom. I ran to the drawer, where I kept "it." I grabbed the old, torn-up shoe box sitting in there. I slowly pulled it out from the drawer and laid it on the bed.
"BABE!" Blake screamed.. "Whats going on? We have to talk.. Look, I think your dad deserves another chance, and what you did, was just wrong back there."
"Blake, you don't understand what he's done to me.." I was shaking.
"Whatever happened back then, is your past.. he is trying to make amends, and be apart of your future. Don't push your dad away like that, he loves you.. Now, I told them it was really okay for the two of them to sleep here, and I don't want to hear anything about it."
"NO! Blake, you really, you don't know. And.."
"Gabby, just stop it, okay? What are you doing?" I slowly grabbed the box..
"Blake, when i was younger.. my dad used to smack me, really really hard. And then, he would take me down to the bar, and allow others to do it. If you look at my back, my thighs, my arms, and all around me, especially in extremely shameful areas, theres scars. Bad things happened to me, and most of them, he just witnessed. For that, I can never forgive him. I promised myself, that the next time that I saw him, before I was ready, I could not continue my life. SO i went out, and bought this." I grabbed the revolver from the box. "Blake, I'm sorry.. if you can't take my side on this.. its just over for me. If you cant --"
"Stop it. You know that everything I do is for you, and that I live to serve you now. Nothing else matters, if you don't want to be around them, and if you really don't want to see them again.. then lets go. Why are we still here? I don't need anybody else.. no one else matters to me, no one. So lets go, me and you. " He grabbed my hand and kissed it. He took the gun from my hand and placed it in the box.
"I won't let you give up your life for me, no. You have a wonderful family, and you don't deserve this. Let me go, just let me. I need to do this, for myself. And you can move on, find a new life with somebody else.. and be happy. okay?
"no. no one else can make me happy!"
"blake, im sorry."
"you love my family, dont you?"
"More than anything... uk that!"
"Then don't make them suffer two deaths, yours and mine. Cause once you pull that trigger, I'm next. I won't live a moment without you and Gabby.. don't do this."
"blake.. i..." I snuggled into his chest, and took a deep breath. "Fine."
"Fine? As in no suicide attempts?"
"no suicide attempts.. " i mumbled.
"Oh,I love you gabby.."
"i love you too." I kissed his nose.
"from now on, me and you are only thinking of each other and ourselves. nobody's feelings matter.. but mine and yours, okay ? if you dont like your dad, we dont need him. hes out of the picture, and we dont have to be nice to anyone, who wasnt good to us! no one matters to me, except for you. and i want to be with you for the rest of my life.. "
"blake, nothing matters to me.. except for you, and all i want is you in my life."
"good!" he smiled and started laughing..
"what?" i wineeed.
"nothin.. " he laughed.. "just, remember when you wanted to jump off the jungle gym that one time, because you thought itd be cool.. but i came over and then talked you out of it.. or that time when you scraped yer knees.. and tried to make it worse, cause uu thought your mom would give you a lollipop ?"
"yeah.. hahah." i smiled too. those were the days when mom was a mom, and if i hurt myself enough, i got candy.
"those were some good times, and in a more serious thinking on this, i just ... i just know that i've always been there for you, even when we were just friends, or i had a girlfriend or you had a boyfriend, we always dropped everything for each other. I swear, i wish that i had helped you sooner, or maybe that we had taken you in.. to stop all of this."
"no. dont. you did so much for me in my life, you were THAT ONE SPECIAL PERSON who i knew i could always go too.. i never worried about what was going to happen next, as long as i had you. even when you dated some girl, i always knew youu had my back, and even when i had a boyfriend, if there was something going on, i came to you first. it was always like that for us.. and with all the ache i went through in my life, and all the stupidity, nothing mattered. you always brought me to a smile even on my most terrible days. you always helped me, and for that i will always love you. forever.." we kissed.
"gabby, i can't wait any longer for this.. i love you and i always will.. and right now, is just the perfect moment. lets go, lets get married. now. i'll get my parents and we can just get married, it doesnt matter whose at the wedding or where we are, just that its me and you.. together. and i dont want anything to break that, okay? so lets go... gabby marie, will you marry me?"
THE END. (:
