Typically Imperfect

Chapter 14-Typically Imperfect (Part Two)

Authors Note!- So I've never tagged a song to one of my chapters before but I thought that this song was perfect for Kate's and Xanders situation....and Travis Garlands voice is like heaven on a silver platter.

One another note, I've finally reached over 1,100 reads! Yeah, yeah its not much to some pepole but I'm just glad that some people can enjoy my story.

Okay, I'm done (: I hope all of my readers enjoy this chapter, because it's not sad. And it will defniitely make a lot of Team Gabriel fans happy.

Recap:

Xander tightened his hold on me and I looked up into his puppy dog eyes, "Thanks Kate, and it might be a bit much to ask but could we still see each other? You know, as friends?"

I bit my lip, that wasn't going to make this any easier on either of us but I nodded.

Xander lifted up his hand and brushed my hair away from my face and tucked it behind my ear and looked deeply into my eyes. His eyes were watery and it made me want to cry again but I bit my tongue. He finally looked away and I put my head against his chest, taking comfort in his warmth. I felt him kiss the top of my head and heard him whisper.

"I love you Katy-girl."

 Suddenly he was gone and I knew that was the last time I was going to feel his lips on mine, the warmth of his hug, or the comfort I feel when his hand is holding mine...

"Damn you, Xander." I was filled with so many mixed emotions all I wanted was to go to sleep and wake up with all my problems gone. But, no. Life was full of shit that I needed to deal with and I just didn't want to deal right now.

Instead of getting into my jeep I drop all of my books on the soft grass and plop myself down. I lie down and stare up at the sky without really seeing anything.

I'm still lying down when I hear pounding footsteps and hard breathing. I don't look down from the sky even as the footsteps veer off the road and head towards me. I only look at the person when he or she lies down right next to me and get's comfortable.

"Hey Kate." Gabriel huffs.

"I don't talk to sweaty people." I say in an attempt to lighten the mood.

It works. Gabriel laughs, "Sorry, I was out for a run when I saw you lying down on the side looking like you wanted someone to run you over with their car."

"Ouch, did it really look that obvious?" I looked at him and Gabirel nodded solemnly.

"Well I'm not having the best day in the world if that's what you're asking." I say in an irritated voice.

Gabriel rolls over and props himself up with his arm, "Well, I'm no girl but you could tell me about it and I'll give you my best advice."

Well mine as well tell him now rather than later. I thought.

"My ex-boyfriend told me he loved me." Is all I say to him and I can see it sink in.

"I can see why you feel the need to be runned over by a car." Is all he says back to me.

I laugh without humor, "My life is just peachy right?" He shrugs, "It could always be worse Kate. Don't look so down."

"That's not even half of it Gabriel. I've been through hell in the last couple of weeks." I run a hand over my face.
