Key To Her Heart | Gabe De Guzman |

Chapter Four

(LOOK AT THAT BOYS JAWLINE OMF. GABE DE GUZMAN IS SUCH A CUTIE)

Analyn's POV:

     Lani's house filled with a bunch of people fast. I even noticed some seniors. Oh Leilani Cruz. What kind of girl are you? The kitchen is filling fast with alcohol and kids trying to get wasted. I just make my way past couples, jocks, cheerleaders, everyone basically. Until I bump into a tall figure. Oh it's that one guy on the football team. You must've thought it was Gabe. Haha. 

"Analyn right?" He asks me. I just nod. "You look different." Suddenly music starts blaring through the whole house. These kids shouldn't turn up, they needa turn the page in the bible. I am a child of God. I walk away from that jock guy and go outside into Lani's backyard. It's empty. Too many people makes me anxious. 

"Beautiful night." I hear a voice. I turn around to see one of Gabe's friends. "I'm Sean by the way." 

"I'm Analyn." I tell him quietly. 

"I know who you are. Your dad owns the biggest performing arts company in Southern California." Sean shakes his head. I look down, not knowing what to say. "You don't talk much do you?" 

    I shake my head. "I really don't have the need to talk. No one talks to me and I talk to no one. Besides Lani." 

"Well.. I'd like to talk to you Analyn. There are too many people in there and I can't handle it." He stands next to me. Wow, a boy wants to talk to me. Sean and I talked for a couple of minutes which felt like hours. Until, his friend, Will told him to get inside. Boys will be boys. I go back inside and find something to drink. I hate high school parties. I find this red looking drink and take a sip. 

"Yeah okay." I put the drink down and make a face. I decide to grab a different one and take a big sip. 

Gabe's POV: 

     I was looking for my friends until I see Analyn losing her balance. Should I help her or..? I should. 

"Analyn are you okay?" I ask her and she stumbles to the side. Clearly, she's drunk.

"Oh hey Gabe." She's holding a cup and she's talking to me. "Oh I'm great. Did you try this? It tastes weird but yummy too."

     I grab the cup and smell it. Yup, alcohol. Analyn is such a good girl. I don't know why she did this. 

"Wow... Has anyone ever told you that you have a nice jawline?" She feels my face. 

"Okay, let's get you home." I grab her by her waist. 

"But I don't wanna go home." Analyn stops walking. I pick her up and lead her to my car.

"Too bad." I put her in my front seat. 

"Do you wanna know something Gabe?" She asks me. 

"What?" I haven't started the car, I'm just gonna wait until she passes out. 

"No matter how much I try to avoid you, I will always love you." She slurs. It's just the alcohol talking. I can't believe her. "Gabe, I need to tell you a secret." 

"What is it Analyn?" I move some hair from her face. 

"Closer." I lean next to her. "Closer." I lean more. She turns my head and kisses my lips. "You're the best friend I ever had. I'm sorry I hate you so much. Just so you know I love you." 

      And just like that, she passed out. I couldn't take her home like this. I started mt car and I decide to keep her at my place instead. It is for the better right? As I was driving, I kept thinking about what she said. 

I love you... I love you...

I'm sorry I hate you. 

     I made sure my parents weren't home. Of course they weren't. I carry Analyn to my bed an put her there. I looked at her. I remember our sleepovers when we were younger. She would always come wake me  up and jump on me. I even remembered when I asked her to my girlfriend because my friends thought I couldn't get a girl like her. It was a dare too and she still said yes.

     I made sure she was comfortable so I took off her shoes and I put a blanket over her. I change into my pajamas and text Lani from her phone. Analyn has always had this one password that I always knew. It was the date when her sister died. I told Lani to cover for Analyn if her parents asked where she was. I looked at the time and it was almost eleven. I decide to open up my Chemistry textbook, which just turned into me procrastinating. I tried to stay awake so I wouldn't do anything stupid. 

You may have been drunk and said "I love you" to me, but just so you know Analyn, I never stopped loving you... I thought.  

ANALYN WHY DID YOU DRINK ALCOHOL!? Haha. Anyways you know what to do. Vote, comment, follow.
