One Shots Of MyStreet

Jealousy (Garmau)

Garroth's POV:

     I couldn't stand to see them together. He got to be the one holding her hand, the one to make her laugh and smile. Why couldn't it be me?

     Why couldn't I be the one who lit up her day just by being around her; why am I not the one who's arms she jumps into; why isn't it me kissing those lips?

     Frozen in place, I stood on the steps leading to the high school. My wispy blonde hair was blowing around in the breeze, and my blue eyes began to water. To see her kissing Aaron hurt more than any injury had.

      I didn't know what to do. I couldn't call out, or fight, she was not mine to defend. But, that's what I did anyway. I don't understand why, but my legs moved towards the pair. My mouth opened, and our came the words, "Get away from her".

     It was as if something had possessed me. I felt like I wasn't in control of my own body, yet every decision was made consciously. The steps, the screaming, the arguing. These were all things I wanted to do in my mind, but never had the guts to do.

      I stomped my way over, and pushed them apart.

     "What do you think you're doing with here?!" I yelled in his face. Aaron was so confused.

      "Garroth what's got into you?" He asked with concern

     "What's wrong is you're kissing the girl I love. I've been seeing you two be together for months, and I'm done. I've sat on the sidelines, each time I saw you with her, jealousy grew in my gut like a fire. This flame grew brighter and bigger everyday; now it consumes me. Aaron, I love Aphmau, more than I think you could ever understand." The words poured out of me, as the tears began to stream down my face.

     The two of them stood there, without saying a word. Aaron seemed conflicted between anger and concern. Aphmau's emotions were even more random then Aaron's. She seemed ready to cry, run, and punch me all at the same time.

     But I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I wanted to fight for her. But I wasn't going to. I stepped away from both of them. Looking between them, I panicked.

     "I'm sorry.... I-I'm sorry..." Those were the words I muttered as I ran. I ran as far as I could, droplets of both sweat and tears causes my clothes and hair to be drenched. I ended up stopping near a grey, two story house. And that's the moment, where my vision went black, my legs became weak, and I passed out.

Aphmau' s POV:

     I couldn't believe he would do anything like that. I knew about his feelings from Laurence, but i didn't think he would ever burst out like that.

     There was no way for me to deny the feelings I had for him, but I can't just leave Aaron. It's not that I didn't love Aaron, I do. But, not like I love Garroth.

     After his break down, I spoke with Aaron. I broke it off, he was going to college anyways. I may have used that as an excuse. After an emotional hug, and the shedding of some tears, we went our separate ways.

     On the way home, I put in some earbuds, and tried to avoid thinking about the last few hours. That was until I literally stumbled over something.

     I had my eyes closed, I was humming the tune to "I Like Me Better" by Lauv, and then I tripped. Luckily, I was able to use my hands and keep my face from hitting the pavement.

     I turned my head, and saw that what I tripped over was not a something, but a someone. A someone with blonde hair, a school uniform and a face I could never forget.

     "Garroth? Garroth!" I shook his arm, and my voice cracked.

     I ran inside to find my mother preparing dinner.

     "Mijah, where have yo-" she began.

     "Mom, my friend he-he's passed out on the sidewalk. Please help him." I pleaded, my eyes becoming puffy.

     "Aphmau what are you talking about?" My mom was growing upset, likely because I mentioned a boy after she questioned me being late. I didn't bother explaining again, I just grabbed her wrist and brung her to the door.

     "Oh my Irene, get him inside Aph, now!" She said in a panic. I did as told, and put him down on the couch.

     "What did you do Garroth?" I thought aloud.

Garroth's POV:

     I could hear everything they were saying, I just couldn't respond. I heard Aph's mom, Sylvanna, tell her to get some cold towels, I felt the wet wag pressed on my forehead and the removal of my shirt. Her mother guessed I overheated, I'm no doctor but I'm pretty sure that's correct.

     They removed my jacket and shirt, then Aphmau pushed a few towels onto my torso. Sylvanna left the room for a while, I didn't pick up on why. But I heard what came afterwards.

     "I feel the same way about you Garroth. I love you. I didn't want to admit it, but, I guess since you're unconscious now is as good a time as any." She confessed.

     "I heard that." I grumbled. I adjusted how I was lying, and opened my eyes. I saw her face fill with color. She took her hands off the towel on my chest, and forced then into her lap.

     "Y-y-you weren't supposed to hear that." She sputtered, clearly embarrassed. I smiled, I knew I wasn't meant to hear what she said, but I'm glad I did.

     "You feel the same way?" I asked tiredly, turning my head to her.

     She stayed silent for a moment.

     "I always have... Garroth I-" I cut her off by crashing my lips into hers. I held her chin in my hand, and leaned up in order to meet her lips. It strained my body, but that small amount of pain was quickly thrown into the back of my mind. For so long I've been waiting for this moment, and it's better than I could've ever imagined. The only thing that could ruin it, was her mother.

     "Aphmau!" She hollered. We both jerked our heads in her direction, and our faces were crimson. But, I didn't care how much trouble I would be in. I was just glad I could get that one moment with her.

     Sorry for not writing, there's been some stuff going on in my life that's been draining a lot of the motivation from me. But hey, I got this out! I know it may not be the best and that some of it may not make sense/be accurate, so please give any suggestions or corrections. Also, if there are any one shot ideas you have please give them to me, I'll write it and everyone will know it was from you. Thank you all for the support, and I'll see y'all later.
