Gableen: The Back Row

(19)

Gabbie's POV:
Colleen yanked me into the kitchen and I assume she wants us to get drinks. Suddenly I stop in my tracks as we are greeted by Rachel dead opposite us in the kitchen, I feel like I'm underwater, similar to my dream, but I can't wake up. I tear at Colleen, trying to escape her tight grasp, wriggling to escape I don't succeed. Before anyone has a chance to say a word Jessica walks in and grabs Colleen, I watch her eyes dagger into mine as I know she feels guilty for leaving, especially leaving me with Rachel, but she has no choice. I hear her struggle to get away in the background as my head whips around to see Rachel stood over me.

She shoves me against the counter and smashes her lips against mine. My mind screams, trying to escape her mouth, but the more I struggle, the harder she pushes into the kiss. Her broad athletic figure limits my escape as I realise Colleen is stood, watching in horror, similar to how I image she felt when finding me on the floor last week. She runs out the room and with that anger grows throughout my body. She can kick me, punch me or knock me out, but she is never going to lay a finger on me in that way. With that I find a sudden spark of energy enabling me to shove her off me. Luckily no one else is here to witness this event, it couldn't get much worse than that. Without even speaking to Rachel I dart out the room, and ran to Colleen's car, assuming that's were she was.

I saw her lifeless, emotionless figure pressed against the wheel, her face buried deep into its grooves. It broke my heart seeing her wanting me to never be in her sight again as she waves me to leave her alone. I wasn't ready to give up just yet on this girl. It was time to open up, tell her the truth.

I jumped in the car and sat for a while, persuading her of Rachel's jealously, and I could tell be believed me, she knew I'd never do something like that to her, not after what's happened recently, and not ever. I begin to brake as I finally fess up, you can do this Gabbie "I love you, and only you Colleen" it felt amazing to get that off my chest, but it felt like the truth hurts as I still carried on crying, my body forcing me to tell her more "Don't you get it?" I laugh through my lips "You never asked me to come on stage with you, I made myself get up on that stage because I needed you Colleen" I whale, I feel so embarrassed to admit it, but it was the truth. I love that girl more than anything I've ever known, and I'm not just letting her slip away from me from something like this. "I need you too Gabbie, let's go home."
