Hey You (Lisa Cimorelli love story)

chapter 13

(Gregg's P.O.V.)

I sat down on my bed with my face buried in my hands. It was at least two days after the dinner. No one, besides Christina, Mr. and Mrs. Cimorelli, and the boys would talk to me. Every time i would approach them, they would walk away. i heard my phone's ringtone go off. I walked over to my night stand, and picked up my phone. It was Christina. "Dinner's ready" i read out loud. I walked up the stairs, taking my seat next to Christina and Alex, while Lauren was in my original seat next to Amy and Lisa. The whole time during dinner, i kept quiet, while everyone told stories about their day.

"What about you Gregg?" Mr. Cimorelli asked.

"Um i went over to my friend Connor's house for a little bit, but thats it."

When i said that Lisa, Amy, Lauren, Dani, and Kath rolled their eyes. What the hell did I even do? Do they not like Connor too now? What is even going on!

I sat their silently, waiting for everyone to finish their dinner so i can go to my room. It felt like forever. I just sat their, and picked at my macaroni that i couldnt finish.

Everyone was finally finished, so i rushed down to my room. I put on some music, and started to play video games. I suddenly heard a knock on my door. I called out come in, when a familiar figure walked in the room. It was Lisa. After walking in, she slowly closed the door behind her.

"Gregg, we need to talk." I paused the game.

"About what, the fact that you wont even talk to me?" i said, nearly yelling at her.

"Yeah, about that, the thing is, um how do i put this?" I sat their with a 'What happened' look on my face.

"Gregg, i know what you've been doing for the past couple of days, saying that your going to hang out with your friends, but your really with her."

"What? What are you even talking about Lisa?"

"Maia told me everything. That before we went on those 'dates,' you were hanging out with a girl. As of your girlfriend."

"Why the hell would you even believe that?" Lisa, why would i even DO that?

"I dont know, but its just that, i know its a stupid thing to make an enormous deal out of, but i just thought-"

"YOU JUST THOUGHT? I'VE SPENT THE PAST THREE DAYS WONDERING IF YOU WOULD EVER TALK TO ME AGAIN! I DIDNT SLEEP, AND I COULDNT DEAL WITH MYSELF KNOWING I DID SOMETHING WRONG!" She stood their shocked.

"I-I'm so sorry i yelled at you Lise, it's just that, I-I" I paused my sentence. Staring at her, while she looked at the ground.

"No Gregg, no more excuses. I'm done. To even think that i liked you, It's just, disappointing, Gregg, I had pretty strong feelings for you, but like you would even care. And thats the reason i wouldt talk to you, cause i was jealous. Cause i liked you, but you liked someone else. Thats why. I told all my sisters, so they put up with the act too. Im just sorry. Sorry to you for doing that, and sorry for myself for ever liking you. I know its mean, but its true. So goodbye Gregg, cause im done."

"Lisa I-" She left. So this is it. This is where i am. dead inside. Broken. Tears filled my eyes as i fell onto my knees. Knowing she hates me, makes me hate myself. I just really screwed up. If i only told Lisa sooner. If only i wasnt such an idiot. I lost her, forever. And now, now i dont know what to do.

Just as i got up off my knees and back onto my feet, Katherine walked down the stairs. I made my way over to the couch, totally ignoring her. But she followed me there. I looked down at the floor, and she grabbed my hand.

"Gregg, i know your hurting, but things will be alright, i promise." I didnt answer.

"C'mon Gregg, answer me. Listen, i dont know how you feel but i know its gunna get better."

"No Katherine, its not. This isnt some fairytale where everything is perfect. This isnt going to end with us making up, and riding off into some freaking pumpkin carriage. Lisa hates me, like with all her heart, and i still I-"

"Love her?" She cut me off.

"Yeah. Lover her. And i wont ever stop. But apparently she did. And now its over." I said with tears coming down my face.

"Gregg, you still just need to tell her that. Maybe it'll make things right."

"Your right Kath, but when? Like when's the right time?"

"Now."

"Now?" I asked.

"Yes. Now go! She went to Starbucks or something! And hurry!" She grabbed me by the hand and pulled me over to the door. I grabbed my jacket and my car keys and ran out the door.

I quickly got to Starbucks, and when i got out of the car, i saw her. But their was another person standing next to her. A guy. A guy was standing right next to her. I slowly shifted towards them, but at the same time regretted it. When i finally reached them, i introduced myself.

"Hi, i'm Gregg, one of Lisa's close friends. As in close, closer than you mister, uh whats your name?"

"Uh hey, i'm John, nice to meet you."

"Well, i'll leave you two alone, and get my coffee. Have fun John and um Lisa." I ran into Starbucks and quickly ordered. After they handed me my coffee, i sat down. I thought about Lisa with That John dude. Katherine was right. i needed to tell her before she found someone else, but she has, and its not me.

"She was with some dude! I guess he seemed nice, but he could be like Dylan! I just dont want her to get hurt again." I explained to Katherine. A million questions were running through my mind, why is she with him, are they dating, all like that.

"You never know, they could be seeing each other, or they could be just friends."

"No, they probably like each other. You know, like like each other. I just, i cant believe i blew it. After many years, i never got to tell her." I stared down at the floor while saying that. I just couldnt believe it. It was all over.

"Gregg, you still need to tell her! yeah, she might be with some guy, but you never know if she feels the same way."

"No, i know already. She apparently liked me, but now she thinks im a total jerk for many reasons, and she just wont even talk to me. But i tried. And i failed. I failed so miserably. And now she hates me. I lost her to some guy, and she hates me. And nothing will be the same." Katherine just stood there. Nothing. Not one word came out of her mouth.

"Kath, im gunna go for a walk, so i'll be back, soon, i promise." I grabbed my hoodie, and walked out the door.

It was a little cold out, but the wind felt nice. But i bumped into someone. Lisa.

I tried to talk to her, but she just walked passed me. She turned around.

"Watch where your going." She said.

"Lisa, I-I'm sorry, i didnt see you. But on a serious note, we need to talk."

"We talked about everything already. Good bye." She said as she stormed off. I grabbed her arm and she quickly twisted her body towards me.

"Lisa, I cant keep this to myself anymore, ok. You need to listen, cause it's important. I um l-love you." She was shocked when i said that. Her mouth was wide open, open enough to catch flies. but mine was open too. I didnt realize i would just blurt it out.

"Gregg, I-I, i just need to go, im sorry." She stood there with half a smirk on her face.

"But if it makes you feel better, I love you too." As she said those words a big smile formed on my face. I felt like the happiest person in the world. I quickly gave her the tightest and longest hug ever, before having to let go. She loved me back. But what about that john guy?
