Chapter 8: "I hate you"

*Blake's POV*

'I HATE YOU' That just echoed through my head. Did she really just say that? Out of the eighteen years that we've known each other. I never thought I would hear her say that to me. I stared at her, no emotions in my face.

"Blake" Gabby whispered

I starred at her

"I'm so sorry" She added

I'm honestly completely frozen.

"please say something Blakey" Gabby pleaded

"Y-You said you h-h-hat-hate me" I stuttered

"Oh no, your stuttering. That's never good"

I nodded my head no and looked at her again.

"I'll be in the car" I stated

I turned around and started walking toward the car.

"Blakey! Wait Blake come on!" Gabby yelled

I continued to walk and I was finally at the car. I got inside and went in the passenger seat. I waited there. The car doors opened and in comes Uncle Tom, Sara Ryder then Gabby.

"Hey kid! What you doing here early?" Uncle Tom asked

I looked at him and shrugged my shoulders. He chuckled and I looked at the mirror. I saw Gabby looking out the window. I looked out the window now and sighed. Why did she say that? I feel so strange...I never thought I would hear her say those words.. to me...

"Blake we're here" Uncle Tom said

I looked at him and nodded as I got out of the car. I went upstairs to my room and grabbed out my wallet.

"I'm going to go pick up my car" I said

I left the house and Gabby was still there. Whatever, I'm just going to give her some space. I got on my skateboard and headed down to the car shop. Hopefully my car is fixed by now. Once I got there I grabbed my skateboard and walked inside. I wonder what's going to happen?

"Blake Jackson! What's up?!" Ralph yelled

"Ralphy boy! Hey!" I screamed

We high fived and bro hugged. Haha, that's funny to say. I walked over towards the window and looked at my car.

"How is she doing?" I asked

"All fixed up" Ralph replied

"Really? How much?"

"On the house"

"No, don't do that, how much?"

"Like I said, on the house. Paula's idea"

Of course it was

"Alright, um here is she anways?" I asked

"The office" Ralph replied

"Thanks"

Paula's Dad owns this place, Ralph was my couch for baseball back when I was ten. Plus he's a family friend. I walked into the office and saw Paula on the  phone.

"No, I will get him as my boyfriend..he's so hot!" Paula said

I cleared my throat and she lookd at me.

"Meg, I got to go" Paula said

She hung up and looked at me.

"What can I do for you Blake?" She asked as she twirled her hair

"Um, just wanted to say thanks for my car" I replied

"No need, you're a loyal customer, thought it would be nice to give you an award"

I nodded and looked at m phone. Then at her, wait she likes me right?

"Can I take you out for dinner one day? You know, a thank you for the car" I said

"I would love that!" Paula replied

"Awesome. Um how about after you guys have your game on Saturday?"

"The day after, I have to go to Max White's party... you can come as my date if you want"

"Um, sure"

"Awesome! Can't wait"

"Yeah"

I left and got into my car. I said my goodbye to Ralph and drove back home. I got out of the car and tapped on the hood of my car. Good to have this thing back. I walked into the house and opened the door. Sara and Ryder were sucking face as Gabby had a pillow up to her face to block that and watch TV. She's going to hate me... wait why do I care? She wants to be with Max. I rolled my eyes and walked up stairs to my room slamming my door. I jumped on my bed and closed my eyes. I need sleep.

---2 hours later---

I heard knocking on the door and moaned. What do they want?! I got up and opened the door. I saw Gabby standing there and she looked at me. With out saying a word she walked in threw things on the floor. I stared at her as she grabbe things out of her bag and left to the bathroom. She came out fixed up the blankets and laid down going to sleep. I sighed as I walked over to my bed and took my shirt off. This is stupid but I don't care. I closed my eyes.... oh I feel bad she's on the floor! NO! I shouldn't! But I do... I sighed and got up. I poked her. Yup she's out. I picked her up bridal style and brought her to bed. I laid her down and pulled the covers over her. I placed the extra blankets and pillows in between us so we didn't really have to be near each other and so I wouldn't be tempted to hold her in my arms...

"Why?" I whispered

I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
