"You met her?"

"I did."

"Shit. How was that like?"

Brendon's questions echoed through my mind, and I didn't feel like answering any of them right now. With a slight shrug, I rubbed my eyes and let out a sigh. "I'd rather not talk about it, actually."

I could almost feel the disappointment radiate from Brendon's body, but instead of protesting, he just hummed before exiting the room. He'd understand. Maybe not now, but eventually he would.

I rolled over to the side in my bunk bed to drag the curtains close. It was getting late, the clock was already ticking towards 11 pm and I needed to get some sleep. Not that sleep was something I'd been getting a lot recently, and tonight wouldn't really be an exception.

My mind was filled with so many thoughts and I felt hundreds of emotions all at once- it was horrible. It was one of the few times that I wished I still could've been the emotionless little innocent boy I was in high school.

Damn it, Gabrielle. You really had to bring that out, didn't you?

My life had been in perfect order. I finally had everything I'd ever wanted- a job that I loved, friends that enjoyed being around me and even a girlfriend. Ten years ago, if someone had told me I would be getting this, I never would have believed them.

And then she just had to come back and ruin everything.

Wait... What?

This wasn't me. Why was I thinking like this? No. I wasn't being fair now. It wasn't her fault. Nothing was her fault. All she'd ever tried to do was help me. She'd been with me through everything. She was my first friend. My first love. And here I was, being an ungrateful dick who blamed her.

I buried my head into the pillow, sighing deeply. I had to get some sleep. I couldn't even think rationally anymore.

Thinking about her had made me realize how much I actually missed having her by my side. When I met her again after so long, it was all too good to be true. And when I told her that I missed her, it was just like all the thousand times I'd told her the exact same thing in my dreams.

I started dreaming about her after she left. Dreams of her coming back and never leaving. Dreams of us running away together. I guess it was my mind's way of telling me that I'd never really forget her. But in all honesty, how could I?

Words couldn't even express how much I missed her.

And now we were here. In a situation that was sticky enough already. It was impossible to not get stuck in it.
I'd been given a chance to get her back into my life. To start fresh. But I had no clue on what to do.

With a sigh, I picked up my phone and sent a text to the only person I knew could help me at the moment.

Me: "I sort of desperately need your piece of advice at the moment".

It didn't take long before a reply arrived and I smiled at the text.

Breezy: "The guru of great advice is always available for your service. What's up, big guy?"

Me: "What would you say I do about this whole Gabrielle-situation?"

Maybe not the best question to ask your girlfriend, now that I think about it.

Breezy: "Do whatever your heart tells you. It's usually the right thing."

Me: "Would you be okay with that..?"

Breezy: "Dallon, I love you. All I want for you is to be happy. And let's be real, you two were the true power-couple in high school, even if the two of you failed to realize that in time. Of course I'm okay with it x."

Me: "I love you too. Thank you."
