Love That Hurts

Love that hurts: Chapter 9

"I'll go"

"What do you mean you'll go Gabriella?" Helen questioned.

All three looked shocked, upset and confused.

"Yes, if my staying here is such an issue then yes I'll go. I do not wish to come between your family. I knew from the very first day that my being here will be wrong and will cause problems and as you can see, there are problems that have occurred because of me" I pointed out.

"I knew that if I stayed there will be problems and that's exactly what happened so I think it is best that I leave. I know it will be hard but I seem to have forgotten that this isn't my home and I was only supposed to be here temporarily. I'm sorry that I didn't understand that I was a burden to this family sooner. I know I should have picked it up sooner but I guess throughout the good times I've shared with this family, I seemed to have forgotten that I wasn't here forever. I'm sorry for being such a burden but yeah I will leave and relieve you from this burden"

I felt bile rise and tears were already forming. The first tear fell alongside all the other uncontrollable and pain filled ones

"Are you listening to yourself grey?!?! How dare you think like that! This is your home too. It always has been and always will be! You are just like another family member to us so how dare you think like that! And to top it off you class yourself as a burden?! If we ever thought you as a burden would we have allowed you to stay here so long? Treat you like a daughter, friend or sister? Exactly! Of course we wouldn't have! You mean so much to us and this is how low you think of us?! Is this how we come across to you as?!"

Tears were now pouring out of my eyes with Troys outburst.

"Tr-"

"No don't Troy me grey! I do-"

"Let her go if she wishes too" Daniel interrupted. My heart beat increased, my palms became sweaty. Didn't he care? Did he really want me to go? Was I that much of a burden?

"Are you being serious here Daniel? Are you F-in being serious! How could you behave like that! Don't you care?!"

Daniel chuckled humourlessly.

"I'm passed the caring Stage. I tried but it backfired. So no, not at this point"

To say I was shocked, would be an understatement. A complete and utter understatement. And not only that, Helen and Troy were too.

"Ok children, calm down. Things are escalating for no reason. I don't know what happened between you and Gabriella at school Daniel, but I know it wasn't as serious as you children are making it. So calm down, take a breather and then talk. This isn't the time to make haste decisions because they will backfire sooner or later. So-"

"They already backfired mum" Daniel interrupted and walked upstairs.

I knew he was referring to what happened at school but I couldn't

Form any coherent words to actually speak and say something.

" grey? Your not really going are you?" Troy asked, worry laced in his tone.

"I need to go Troy, whether it's for a few days or permanently I need to. I'm sorry"

With that I left the room and headed to my bedroom. Well the Carter's guest room to be precise.

-.-.-.-.-.-

I was currently lying in bed after having a shower. My head was throbbing and I couldn't control the tears.

Why did I have to go through all this? It hurt so much to know that I am the cause to all these problems.

I think about what had happened over these days and how the situation escalated so quick.
