Gilbert
I'm almost there. I'm almost to Mattie's door. I race into the house to see Matthew crying on the floor. He's holding Chila, Blue's stuffed cat.
I set the bag that's still in my hand on the table by the door and go over to him. "What's wrong? Where's Blue?"
He looks up at me, and the complete heartache in his eyes is enough to make me nearly cry. But the awesome me is strong enough to hold it back. He points out the door, then to a piece of paper on the floor. I pick it up, and the words on it nearly send me over the edge.
Matthew,
If you ever wish to see this child again, you will
never invite Gilbert Beilschmidt over to anything, ever again.
Francis
I'm going to kill him.
Matthew
Gil has the note clenched in his hand so tightly, I'm afraid he'll make himself bleed. I stand up shakily, touching his shoulder. "Gilb-"
"I'm going to kill him."
Shocked, I take a step back. His eyes shoot to mine, and all I see is hatred and fear. "Gil, you're scaring me." My voice shakes, and I try to keep it from doing so as I continue. "Let's call the police, get-"
"NO!" I take another step back, my legs now up against the coffee table. "I'm going to take care of this myself. And you're going to stay here where I don't have to try and keep you safe, too."
Okay, that was a little harsh. "I can look out for myself, Gil. I've survived perfectly fine without you this long, haven't I?" I regret the words as soon as they leave my mind, but I'm extremely upset and don't know how to react.
"Oh yeah? Well, maybe I should just find Blue and bring him back here, then leave. Since you apparently don't care enough about me to notice that all this time, I've been looking out for you and loving you when no one else would!"
Wait. Love?!
Suddenly very scared, Gilbert turns and races back out of the house, leaving me in the shocking realization that he loves me back. That he always has. I collapse onto the floor, tears beginning to fall once again.
Francis
Ah, yes. It has happened. I crawl out from where I'm hiding in the bushes surrounding Mattie's living room window. Gilbert has ran off after admitting his feelings for the invisible country, and now is my chance to go invade Matthew's vital regions while he's down and unresistant.
I walk right through his door and he doesn't look up to see who it is.
