Once in a Lifetime - Mavin Fanfic

Part 10

Gavin

~~~~~~~~

Ouch.

My head stung even more as Geoff handed me black coffee, the steam rising up from the mug.

"Are you sure you are okay Gav?" He questioned again, sitting down across from me, folding his arms.

"I'm fine. Trust me." I softly replied, sipping the black liquid as the strength of the drink danced on my tongue, before I loudly swallowed.

"Do you even remember anything that happened?"

"Sadly, no." I rubbed my eyes, trying to calm down my headache.

"Well I'm heading off to work soon. Coming in today?" He stretched, pushing himself off of the chair

"I know I am" I weakly smiled, trying to show him I was fine before I grabbed my coat and walked out the door with him.

Once we got to the building, Geoff went off to the cafeteria and I headed to the office. I sighed as I saw the empty desk next to mine, causing the thought of Michael to dip into my head. I wonder how he was doing after getting fired. He must be hurt. I swiftly sat down on my chair, dragging myself up to my shredded desk. My monitor flashed on as I started working on the most recent Lets Play. Plugging in my headphones played back the audio of everyone attempting to work together.

Ray walked in, and quickly glanced at me before quickly walking to his desk and sitting down. Odd, he was unusually quiet. I decided to investigate, pulling off my headphones and rolling over to him.

"Good morning Ray," I spoke with a glimpse of happiness in my breath after seeing his strange mood, "How are you?"

Ray looked back at me, with a concerned look on his face "You don't remember do you?" He sighed.

"Remember what?"

Ray teared up as he tried to tell me what happened last night. He explained that we kissed, and then some. My eyes swelled up hearing it. I listened to how horrible of a friend I was, and how messy I acted. When Ray tried to continue to talk about the accident, I held up my hand to stop him. Pure silence. I looked down at the floor, tears dripping from my damaged eyes. My knees buckled, making it hard to move from my position. My head started to hurt more. I sighed as Ray shifted uncomfortably in his chair before finally speaking again.

"I'm so sorry Gavin. I tried to stop it as much as I could. But you were just so stubborn. I tried giving in and accepting it, but that just made things worse. I didn't know what to do."

"Did we..." My voice was shook as I looked up at his brown eyes that were also stained a soft rose pink. I prepared myself for the worst.

"No. Thankfully no."

I loosened my bones in relief. "I'm so sorry Ray, this is all my fault."

Ray buried his face in his shaking knees, quietly sniffling.

"Did you tell anyone?" I asked.

More silence

"Ray?" 

"I did. I'm sorry Gavin"

Without another word spoken, I jumped out of my chair, springing out of the door. Somehow, I knew that Michael heard. He must be broken. He must be mad. I called for a cab a quickly as I could, and drove to the store, the whole time being unable to sit still. We we arrived at the small market and I sprinted to the flower section. After searching through the piles of petals, I found the perfect bright orange and blue bouquet of flowers. They smelled nectar sweet and raindrop fresh. I clutched onto them before paying, running back out to the cab and driving to Michael. In the back on the cab, I tried to plan what to say to him. The cab driver looked at me in the mirror, obviously confused as I mumbled to myself, looking out the window, searching for excuses for all of this. Sadly, the passing cars gave me no hope.

You can still fix this.

The second we got to Michael's house, I paid the cab driver all the cash I had in my pocket, and jumped out of the lemon car. I tried to casually walk up to the door, but the terrifying thought of Michael being hurt continued to pass through me.

I walked up to the door.

I rang the doorbell.
