"Uhhh thanks"I said as Jackson extended his arm and I took his hand to pull myself up.We stared intently into each others eyes.Until I heard a loud cough to see it was Adrian he looked pissed."Ohhh boy"I'm going to get at home.I realized I was still holding his hand so I let go and started running again.When I finished my lap I was greeted by a very out of bbreath Charlee ."Are you good"I asked."yeah yeah I'm fine"she breathed."But OMG he totes likes you!!" "Shut up Char " "what...fine" she responds.
Adrian's POV
I've told Jackson he's not allowed to like or date Gabbie.I know that she likes him but I don't want her heart getting broken again. You might think again?? Yeah we were in 4 grade and she was raped by our cousin Liam.She has trouble trusting people but she clicked with Jackson .But one of my other friends also likes her his name is Sebastian. I trust Sebastian more than Jackson actually.
Gabbie's POV
I just got so nervous I saw Liam in his eyes.Liam raped me in 4th grade I couldn't trust anyone after I was even scared to be around my dad or Adrian.If your wondering Liam was my cousin.He took me to his room and told me it was my birthday present.Then ...I rather not talk about it.
At home
"Oh my gosh Gabie " What the hell were you thinking?!" Adrian screamed at me. "ok I'm sorry I ddidn't kknow you'dd be so-o madd " I stuttered out tears threating to spill. I backed away slowly feeling scared. Adrian's facial features soften " I'm sorry Gabs,I shouldn't of screamed at you" I just stood up from the couch and walked to my room.
My room always calmed me when I was nervous.The ocean theme relaxed me and made me feel better. I called Charlee and told her all about what happened. She signed. "Well the winter dance is Coming what are you going to do?" "I don't know. Maybe I'll go with you and our friends or I'll go with a boy IF he asks me." "GABIE, ADRIAN DINNERS READY!!My mom yelled out. "Ughhh sorry Charlee I have to go" "Okay Bye.
That night Adrian came to my room.We always had these talks late at night about life. I love being a twin because I will forever have a best friend. "so there's this girl I really like and I want to ask her to the dance." Oooo, who is it!" I asked. " Charlee..."he replied, barely above a whisper. I jumped up and did a happy dance while saying "Adrian's got a crush, Adrian's got a crush!" "Ok shut it" he said.so I plopped back down on the bed and he kept talking. We kept talking until it was 12:00am and he went to sleep. I closed my eyes and fell into dreamless sleep.
