Behind Closed Doors

Making Plans

Aubree's POV

It’s a little chilly outside and I’m out here with this wind. I am standing outside of Gio’s car panicking like crazy. I look like some creepy psycho who prays on high school students. I lean back on his car and take calming breaths. Something I do before I perform, I instantly began relax. I don't know what to expect. There are two options, either he drops me like a bad habit or he excepts that the past is just that, a past. That pikes my heart rate back up and I soon began to breathe like Darth Vader. I bang my head on the window in frustration, probably not a good idea. I yelp in pain and slam my now freezing fingers on my aching head. When the pain subsides, I hear a deep chuckle. I turn around to see a guilty Gio. 

"Were you enjoying my pain?" I say with a pout. 

"No way, these tear were not from laughing, I am sad that you hurt yourself." he says innocently.  Before stepping closer to me.

"Sure, I can see you breaking up on the inside" I pout harder. Now I look like a psycho with a saggy lip. Great!

He walks closer to me and kisses my head, the pain seizes to matter. All I can feel is my skin heating up where his soft lips had been.

"I'm sorry, okay?" he says. Before gently ruffling my bun.

"k". I smile. 

"but bree, you should've seen how your head moved in slow-motion" he says starting back laughing. This time I crack a smile. 

"Ahh shut up" I say before pushing him away from me. He opens my door and I climb in, then he goes and gets in on his side. He starts the car and turns on the heat.

"Okay, now what did you want to talk about?" getting straight to the punch.

"umm.. do you know a Jaylin?" I panic

"Jaylin who?" his whole mood shifted. His eyes grew weary. He turned cold. I knew what he was thinking.

I clear my throat. "umm Jaylin Thompson"

"..oh yeah, I know him. That's my boy!" he exclaims, letting the past mood shed off of him.

Dang! I was hoping Jaylin was lying. Part of me silently prayed he was just being a jerk!

"why?" he says with questioning in his eyes.

"oh.. uhhh because Jaylin and I used to date/talk or whatever we were" I whisper

"is something still going on?" he demands as he stares straight into my soul.

"n-noo, there is NOTHING going on. I feel NOTHING towards him except anger and regret. I don't want him Gio, I promise. It's.. (gco)

"I understand. Stop rambling, even though it’s cute. I understand, the past is the past. We are in the present, working towards our future." he replies
