It was warm outside on your way to school. the sun was shining bright and you couldn't wait to go to the beach tomorrow. you were planning to go there with your boyfriend Gilbert. you were really excited to spent some more time with him. 

you enjoyed your walk through the forest while listening to the chirping birds. you wished Gilbert was with you but he lived in the other direction. he would often walk you home anyway but before school he just didn't have the time. 

when you approached the school house Gilbert was no where to be seen. you sat next to your friend cole who was drawing. "That looks amazing cole" you said smiling. he looked at you and gave you a quick smile. "thanks" you watched him draw as you were fascinated by the beautiful picture he drew. "you don't mind me watching you draw right?" you asked. "no not at all" he smiled. class was almost starting and you and cole both stood up to get inside. "Y/n if you want I could draw you and Gilbert sometime, like a cute couple drawing" cole said smiling at you. "omg Cole I would love that!" you were beyond ecstatic and you pulled cole in for a hug. you felt someone quickly brushed passed you. you pulled away from cole to see Gilbert hanging up his coat with a clenched jaw.

was this because of that hug?

you hung up your coat and walked over to Gilbert. he avoided eye contact and quickly walked to his desk. you sat down in your seat. you saw Gilbert glaring at Cole for the whole lesson. he looked angry and hurt. you couldn't concentrate the whole lesson. 

when class was over you walked over to Gilbert. you tried to grab his hand but he dodged you. "Gilbert are you mad at me?" you asked tears forming in your eyes as he looked away. "yes" he said almost whispering. "because I hugged Cole?" you tried to grab his hand once again and he slapped it away. you looked at him and he had tears in his eyes. "it's not just that. you're always with him!" he said his voice cracking. he then walked away leaving you with tears rolling down your face knewing you screwed up. 

you walked over to the stream and sat down with your lunch. "hey Y/n can I sit with you?" you looked up to see cole and smiled. "sure" you said patting the floor beside you. "are you okay. I saw you and Gilbert fighting" he asked a concerned expression on his face. you frowned. "he's mad because I hugged you, it's ridiculous because it was only a hug and he just doesn't trust me" tears were forming in your eyes. "I'm sorry. do you want me to leave" Cole asked standing up. you layed your hand on his shoulder dragging him back down. "no stay" you said giving him a small smile. "Gilbert can't control who I'm friends with" cole looked at you and gave you a smile. he opened his notebook and started drawing. you opened your book and read beside him. you saw Gilbert glaring at Cole a few times. 

you felt bad for spending your lunch with cole but you didn't feel anything for him and it hurt you that Gilbert didn't trust you. In class Gilbert was still glaring at Cole. 

after class he ran out the classroom. you quickly ran after him. "Gilbert wait!" he turned around and sent you a glare. "can you let me explain" you said walking a little closer. he stepped back. "you don't need to explain to me that you like Cole" he said and ran off. "I don't!" you yelled running after him. "why don't you trust me?" you asked catching up to him. "leave me alone" he said with a cold tone. he looked into your eyes. the sparkle in his eyes was completely gone. you just stood there when he walked off. 

you slowly made your way back home through the forest. the little things like chirping birds and sunshine couldn't cheer you up. Gilbert was hurt and it was all your fault. you opened your front door and ran upstairs burying your head in your pillow. 

"Honey?" your mother walked into your room surprised to see you in a state like this. tears were rolling down your face as you looked up at you mother. "dear what's wrong" she asked sitting down next to you stroking your hair. "I don't wanna talk about it." you say putting your head back into your pillow.

The next day you wake up with sore eyes. you were supposed to meet Gilbert at the beach at noon today. you decided to go in case he showed up and wanted to talk. you were nervous as you walked up to the beach but there was no sign of Gilbert. you sat down in the sand and waited and then waited some more. you thought about all the amazing moments you had with him and you couldn't help but cry. tears rolling down your face while looking around every few second to see if he had shown up. but he was never there.

an hour had passed and you knew that he wasn't gonna show up. you decided to go to his house. talk things over. you walked over to Gilbert's house thinking about what you were gonna say. 

you approached the house and stood in front of the door. you were nervous and scared. you knocked and held your breath. the door swung open revealing Bash. "y/n" he didn't smile and he spoke in a cold tone. "is Gilbert home?" you asked him. Bash expression softed as he heard the hurt in your voice. "he'll come home in a few minutes, come in" Bash said stepping aside for you to come in. 

you followed him into the kitchen and sat down. "now what happened?" he asked. "Gilbert told me you cheated on him" your breath hitched and your eyes widened. tears were forming in your eyes. "h-he said that?" your voice cracked. Bash was a little confused at why you were so shocked. "I didn't. I g-gave my friend C-Cole a hug." you say trembling. "I don't have feelings for Cole" you were now full on crying knowing you screwed up big time. "he really said that. he came home crying his eyes out yesterday afternoon" Sebastian says. you bury your head in your hands. "I can't believe I screwed up this bad. I never meant to hurt him I love him!" you practically yell.

"you love me?" you quickly snap your head into the direction of the door to meet Gilbert's puffy red eyes. "of course I do" you say standing up and taking his hand. this time he lets you. "Cole and I are just friends I hugged him because he offered to make a drawing of you and me, I swear, I love you Gilbert and only you" you squeezed his hand as Gilbert's eyes began sparkling again. he wrapped his arms around you and held you tight. "I love you too" he whispered. with a smile on his face.
