Freefalling ( Gilbert Grape x Reader)

~1. A new Beginning~

(HEY Yall, Sorry for the absence but I've been busy i just wanted to write a short book for fun because I've noticed that there's hardly any Gilbert Grape stories on Wattpad and wanted to see if i could make one just for fun!  thank you and let's get to the story. <3!)

Hello, my name's Y/n. Y/n L/n. and I moved to Endora A few weeks ago with my family. i live with my mom, stepfather, and little brother.  we moved here because we thought it could help us create and new start but there really isn't anything to do around Endora a lot. so here i am walking around writing in a book I'm not sure anyone'll read. ' 

"Y/n!", says my mother knocking me out of my thoughts. hearing no response, I put my notebook down, and head to the kitchen where mom was, "yes mama?", i said trying to be considerate. 

"Could you run to the nearby grocery store, and get some bread and milk please?", she said knowing I'd say yes and go, so, i agreed and that's what's led me here at 'Lamson's food market'. As i walk in I'm immediately greeted by a boy sitting on the counter. with his grasshoppers in a jar, it looks like.

"Hello!", said the boy as he waved, he then came up to me fidgeting with his hands and smiling a lot, "my name's Arnie.. what's yours?"

i smiled at how sweet he was and immediately knew he was a special one so i looked at him with kindness and told him,"my name's Y/n, it's nice to meet you Arnie." Arnie was giggling and laughing showing me his grasshoppers as i walked around the food market when there was a voice that sounded almost panic. 

"Arnie? where'd you go?" the voice sound like a guys and Arnie started giggling. i was kind of confused that is till we saw who had been calling Arnie. it was a boy, older than me but not much, he was in a button up and white apron. i looked at his features. his eyes as brown and warm as cocoa and hair as soft and rustic colored as embers from a fire. (i dont know what color his hair is it looks red in some scene and brown in others) the mysterious guy then looks at Arnie and me and speaks, "sorry i hope he didn't bother you miss" he said as he walked up to us. 

"Oh no its ok i have a little brother i watch from time to time so I'm used to it," i said in return making him smile and respond," well that's nice to know," there was a pause as he was thinking of something to say, "are you new here? or...?". i immediately knew where this was going and responded, "actually yea, my family moved from northeast Georgia to come here. we thought it'd be a great place to start over." i said smiling.

"Oh..., well, it was nice to meet you mrs..?" He said with a sympatric look. "Y/n.... Y/n L/n" i said as i stared into his eyes, 'He's Handsome, I'll give him that.'  i realized i had been staring too long when he clears his throat. "Sorry! um i should get going," i say as i get my basket with the milk, bread, and other household items and go to the counter with him following me. 

" that'll be $10.99," he said and i reach into my bag to grab the cash and hand it to him. "Thank you," i said," I'm sorry it's rude to leave like this, but i got to get home and help prepare dinner." i say as i pick up the bag and start to walk out.

just as i reach the door the man speaks "Gilbert," he says,."huh?" i respond totally confused. i look at him and he's smiling softly, "my name is Gilbert, Gilbert Grape.." he said and i smile and thank him again as i walked out of the market.

man, this is going to be a nice change....
