Breaking Free

Matt

Hello

I rolled over after Gabe finished. I curled into his side and fell asleep. Around 3 in the morning I heard him get up and I thought nothing of it so I just curled in my pillow and fell back asleep.

I got waken up by Gabe, as usual. He was laying by me and played with my hair. I smiled and looked at him, he looked back and smiled. "Good morning." He said. I smiled, remembering last night, "Good morning." I said.

I grabbed my phone and turned it on. I gasped at the time, it was already 9:43. "Gabe! We are late! We gotta go!" I said and stood up to get ready, and immediately fell back down on the bed in pain. "Never mind." I said and continued to lay there.

He smiled and looked at me. I hate 8 messages from Ashley. All of them asking where I was and asking why I didn't go back to her dorm room last night. I forgot I told her I would be there... oops. I'd rather be here, I don't regret a thing. (It's raining and I really hate rain idk why.) I pulled myself up to Gabe and went and pulled the covers over us. I cuddled up in his chest as he ran his nails up and down my bare back lightly, giving me goosebumps.

I smiled and pushed my head deeper into Gabes chest and closed my eyes. I never answered Ashley and I don't regret it. I woke up again to more text messages from her. I assumed I might walk to her dorm, to tell her I was breaking up with her. I thought of the pain of walking and I had to push through the thoughts.

"W- Matt, where are you going?" Gabe asked. "Oh, I'm going to break up with Ashley." I said simply. "Oh, okay. Come back here when you get done." He said. I have him a thumbs up and closed the door. Walking was a pain, but I somehow made it to her dorm room without dying. I twisted to doorknob and pushed it open, Ashley was sitting on the bed with her phone in her hands and didn't even acknowledge me.

"Hey." I said.

"What do you want." She said, angrily. "I need to talk to you." I walked over to the bed, trying to hide my pain, "About what." She looked wide eyed knowing what I was going to say. "I'm sorry, Ashley." I looked down at the ground.

She nodded her head and I figured it was time for me to go. I turned the doorknob and went to me and Gabes dorm. He looked up at me and smiled, I smiled back at him. He stood up, I looked at his eyes, his green eyes and the eyeliner he used, the true happiness in his eyes.

I smiled and walked over to him. I pulled his face into mine and our lips clashed, both of us battling for dominance. I eventually got full control over him and I had my hands resting on his chest, I pulled away and smiled at him. He looked at me lovingly and smiled. I grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the dorm.

"Where are you taking me?" He asked, but giggled. "You'll see." I said. We left the school and I took him down to the park, where we watched little kids running up and sliding down the slides, parents laughing as they helped their kids across the monkey bars, kids running and chasing after one another, kids screaming and having fun. I wanted our kid to be like that. I wanted our kid to be happy and confident, and I wanted them to be themselves. I laid my head on Gabe's shoulder. When it started to get dark I got up and twisted my head and grabbed his hand, our fingers intertwining.

We stood up and started walking back to the school, I held his hand the entire way, I cuddled into his side when we went to sleep, he lifted my chin up and gave me a gentle kiss and told me goodnight.

Then we fell asleep. Together. It felt good to be back with Gabe. Being with Gabe made me feel so much more happy than me being with Jaxon or Ashley, Ashley made me happy, I just wasn't romantically in love with her. I closed my eyes and drifted away at the thought of Gabe.

When I woke up I found the bed next to me cold. I looked at the time, and it was 3 in the morning. The small room didn't show any sign of Gabe, I started panicking. I just got him back, I can't lose him again. I started calling his phone, desperately trying to figure out where he went. I called 7 times before he finally answered.

I was a mess, tears were running down my face because of the thoughts of me losing him. "Gabe! You answered." I said. "Yeah." He said. "Where are you? You aren't here, it scared me."

"Oh, I'm sorry." He said, noticing my concern. "I'm at Haylee's, we're discussing the baby."

"Oh. Okay." I said. "I'll talk to you later. I love you."

"I love you too, Matt." He said.

I drifted asleep, feeling better knowing that Gabe was okay and I knew where he was.

Gabe woke me up, telling me to get ready for school.

He smiled at me when I left the door open to take a shower. I took off my clothes and hopped into the shower, I heard Gabe come in the room and I figured he was just coming into the bathroom to get ready, but I was surprised when he touched my shoulder. I smiled and turned around. He pulled my face into his, him smiling into it, and me smiling back. I pulled his body into mine and the water made our bodies slide swiftly, we washed each other and splashed each other. I love him.
