Fifty Shades of Gabriel

Thirty-Two

>>>Gabriel's POV<<

"Fine, I'll tell you everything." I say as I drag Aaliayh into my room.

We stare at each other in silence until Aaliyah gets irritated and tries to leave the room but I stop her.

"What's your problem, Aaliyah? Why are you acting this way?"

"Gabriel, don't even try it. I've fallen for enough of your games. You just promised to tell me the truth so spill it right now or we're done. There is nothing that could be so bad that you can't tell me. I'm tired of the secrets."

Pausing to think for a minute, I decide that I really should tell her everything even if it means possibly losing her. The secrets are going to end us so hopefully once I tell her everything, she still accepts me.

"First I want to say, everything that Tim told you is true. I lied when I said they were stories because I didn't want you to be worried. If we are going to remain in this relationship, I want to be completely honest with you. Aaliyah, I am about to tell you my deepest, darkest secret but please don't judge me. I want you to hear me out." I say, quietly as I take her hands into mine then lead her to sit down on the bed.

"Just tell me..Whatever it is, we can work through it babe. I promise I'll hear you out. The stuff Tim told me about your family was horrible but you are not them. I have no say about what they do during their personal time. " She smiles softly, rubbing my face.

"I killed Hannah."

"YOU DID WHAT!!?? Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God... I'm dating and pregnant by a killer" Aaliyah yells while pacing the floor.

Walking over to her, I try to grab her but she jerks back and slides down onto the floor. Tears escape her eyes as she rocks back and forth, clearly trying to process everything.

"Aaliayh, please come here."

"N-no, leave me alone. Don't touch me! I-I need some time to think. I'll be back tomorrow. I'm going to stay with my parents at their hotel. " She sobs as she gets up then grabs her suitcase.

I know that making Aaliayh stay here will only make things worse so I grab her suitcase and carry it downstairs for her. Everybody is passed out drunk except Aaliyah's parents but they are almost there as well. I help them back to their car then watch as Aaliyah gets into the driver's seat of her parents' rental car.

"Aaliayh before you go, I just want you to really think about being with me. Please don't tell anyone what I told you. Just know that I am not that man anymore. I would lay my life on the line for you and I swear, I would never hurt you or our baby. I was driven to my breaking point but you helped me. You fixed me and I can't thank you enough because you've taught me how to love again. I pray that you look over my terrible flaws and see me for who I truly am, the man who is crazy about you."

After my speech, Aaliyah lets the window up without saying a word then backs out of the driveway. Walking back to the house, I get blankets out of the closet then cover up my drunk ass family. I also go into the kitchen and grab 3 bottles of whiskey and carry them back into my room.

This is going to be a long night but I don't regret telling her. It feels good, to not be hiding that from Aaliyah. Once I'm in my room, I get changed in cotton shorts then start chugging the alcohol. A bottle and a half later, I feel my eye lids getting heavier and heavier then they snap shut.

"Get your ass up." Justin says, shaking me.

"Shh, no need to yell!"

"Dude, I'm not yelling but you really need to get up!"
