Welcome to Nuketown! (On Hold)

The Truth

Gillian's POV

"What did I do?" I asked, looking at Steel's blurry face. My crying had turned to sobbing since Bri was no longer here to help me.

He hesitated.

"Steel, I care what you think. Tell me what I did wrong!" I screamed.

"Gillian, look, I'm sorry. I really care about you-"

"Bullshit! You left me here Steel! You walked out on me! You don't care about me! You never did! You only cared about your life!"

"Gilly-Bear-"

"Don't fucking call me that."

"Sorry. Gillian, I did care about you. I mean, I do. That day, the day I left, I planned to propose to you. I planned to carry you to that plane and take you away from that hellhole. I, when I went to find you, Bri was screaming. She said there was a bomb. You fell and got hurt from the blast. I went to the camp and you were in the medical building." He started crying. "I was holding your hand, and then the beep rang through the room. I thought I'd lost you. The doctors rushed in, told me to leave. Bri was the only one allowed in. Hours later I still had no idea how you were doing. I threw the ring into the woods and I ran off to the plane. I didn't want to leave you, but I also didn't want to see you die." Steel broke into a sob, taking gasps of air while tears raced down his face.

I was shocked. He, he wanted to propose to me. He was acting so weird around me for weeks. I can't believe it.

"Steel, I-"

His phone went off.

"Aww." He showed me the picture.

"Who is that?"

"My kids."

"I can't believe you! I can't believe I started to feel sorry for you! You planned to propose to me, and then you go and have kids with another woman! I can't fucking believe you, Steel! I loved you! I would do anything for you! I nearly got myself killed saving your sorry ass! And then you go home and visit the strip club! I can't even Steel!"

I could only imagine the ways I would kill him.

"I had no idea you were alive! What was I supposed to do, sit around on my ass all day eating ramen noodles for 2 years?!" He shouted.

"Yes, because if you really loved me, you would've waited for me!" My tears were long gone at this point. All I felt was pure anger.

"Gillian, I love you now. Isn't that what matters?"

"I hate you!! I never want to see you again! You pull this shit on me or Bri , I will hunt you down and shoot you 15 feet under!"

I curled my hands into a fist.

"Brianna Fucking Marshall!!" I called.

"Steel get out now before I shove a knife so far up your ass it'll be coming out of your mouth!!" Bri yelled before kicking the doors open.

Steel flinched and quickly left the room, closing the doors behind him.

Once he was out I broke down crying on Bri.
