Since We Have Fallen In Love... [Garrance AU] {Book 2} (Completed)

Chapter 32: Confessions

*Laurance's POV*
~Later That Day~

Vylad and Dante left about an hour ago... And I've just been seated on this couch, thinking over everything. Everything that has happened... Why does life have to be so confusing?

Things were easier for me, back when I was a teenager. I believed I was only attracted to girls; I was under the care of loving guardians; I was studious; and I didn't really have a care in the world. I just wanted to see everyone happy...which led me to meet Garroth... Never would I have thought, that he would end up changing my life...in a good and bad way...

This is what I mean by confusing. I am deeply in love with him. I have been since College, and to this very day. Nothing will ever change that... But, here's the bad part... I know barely anything about him... I thought, we were best friends. We shared everything with each other. But, today shows, that we hid some pretty big things from each other... And, that's not good, for those who are in a relationship...

The world is just too complicated...

*Garroth's POV*

I stood in front of the door, of my home, staring intently at it. Should I go inside? Should I turn around, and go see if Aphmau is off work? Should I drive to visit my parents, in a different state? Or, should I man up, and actually talk to my boyfriend?

My mind is telling me, to do the latter, but my heart is telling me...there's probably better places I could spend my time... Maybe not the best of places, but probably more comforting than having to confront my boyfriend- who probably hates me... Correction: obviously hates me.

Before I gave it anymore of a thought, I decided the best decision, would be to at least go inside. It had begun raining, as if to mess with me. I was getting some real flashbacks... The heavy rain, standing on the porch of my own home, heartbroken, upset with Laurance...

Okay, now I see what's going on here. It's that one cliché trope, where things from the first book, start to reappear in this one. I see what games you're playing author. And, I'm also done breaking the fourth wall.

I slowly opened the front door, poking my head inside. I immediately spotted Laurance, seated on our couch. His head shot my way, and his eyes widened. I took in a deep breath, pushing the door open the rest of the way. I stood there, afraid to move. I couldn't stand this feeling...of being afraid to face the love of your life...

"Garroth..," Laurance muttered, loud enough for me to hear him, where I stood.

I gingerly stepped inside the house. My gaze trailed to the floor, as I shut the door behind me. "Laurance..," I muttered his name. "Laurance...we need to talk..."

I heard him sigh, and his footsteps bound towards me. I held my breath, clenching my fists. I was scared to look into his eyes...I was scared to get hurt, again... It was the worst feeling ever. More than I could express through words alone. Gene hurt me countless times...and that left my heart tattered and weak... Fragile enough, for it to easily be torn, by just a few simple words.

"Yeah...we should talk..," Laurance shakily sighed.

"N-Not here..," I recalled the stranger's words, and I reopened the door. "C-Come with me... P-Please..."

"Okay..."

I stepped outside, strolling over to our car. I kept my hands in my pockets, and continued to avoid even looking at Laurance. I opened the driver's side. Wow. That's a rare sight. I am never the one to drive. I usually leave that to Laurance...but he doesn't know where we're going...
