Now That You Know Us

Comfort

Gabe's P.O.V:

As soon as I said that all of the happiness drained from his face. He shut down completely.

"Why... Wouldn't you tell me this before."

"I wanted to... But you wouldn't answer your phone so I thought that you wouldn't care so I stopped calling" i thought he had given up on me.

"I didn't intentionally ignore you Gabe. I had to get a new phone after the incident. See..." he pulled out a shiny rose gold iPhone 7 plus. I knew it was a different phone because he originally had a Samsung Galaxy S8 Edge plus with a crack in it. We had the same phone now except mine was matte black.

"I-I didn't know Hunter..." I stuttered

"Where's your dad...?"

"I... don't know."

"WHERE'S YOUR FUCKING DAD GABE?!?!" I could tell he was furious.

"AT THE BAR... at the bar." I don't know what he's gonna do. But I have a feeling it's not gonna be good.

"Watch..." he said with an evil smirk on his face. He started for the door and I got a little sad because I knew he was gonna leave.

"Hunter wait...please..."

He stopped and turned around with an infuriatingly pissed off expression on his face.

"What?" he said with a low growl.

"I... I don't..." I couldn't get the words out of my mouth.

"Spit it out Gabe." he said impatiently.

"I just...don't wanna be alone... anymore." I said in a low voice

His eyes went from a passionately raging fire to a soft hazel color. He started to walk toward me with sincerity.

"You don't have to be. Not anymore." he sat beside me on the bed and I sat up too. I was at the top if my bed where the bars were and facing the end of the bed with my legs straight out and the blankets covering them while he was sitting on the side of my bed facing my door. He started looking at me until I had the balls to look back at him. Our eyes locked and I could feel the tension between me and him. I just loved this feeling. He smirked a little and put his hand on my hand.

"I'm not letting your dad get away with this." he said.

"You don't have to do anything Hunter. It'll be okay, I guess." I had completely given up on myself at this point. But when I had finally caught the reality of his warm touch rubbing my hand delicately, all of my doubt went away. Something about him. It makes me feel....safe.

"He deserves to feel the same pain you do." he uttered

"But... He's my dad. I already lost my mom. Even though he's a fucking torturous jerk to me, I can't help but love him. He's the reason I'm on this earth. Just... Promise me you won't hurt him too much okay Hunter?" I really just... Can't have my other parent die. I just can't.

"Okay... Anything for you." he said with a small smile on his beautiful face.

He stopped rubbing my hand and looked at the floor. (Now my hand is lonely again, shit). He noticed something under my bed. Oh fuck no. Did he notice it. I hope he didn't. SHIT HE NOTICED IT!!!

"You have a GUITAR???" he asked really amused. "Why Wouldn't you tell me? I love guitars."

I started blushing.

"Yeah I uh...I'm a singer." I said a little nervous of his reaction.

"Oh my god."

"What?!" that's kinda concerning....
