Breaking Free (Smut)

Chapter 11

  Author's announcement: So hi everyone who actually decided to read my story. I was so young when i wrote this and I honestly forgot wattpad existed for a little. When I logged back on I saw people actually wanted some updates on this. These request are from so long ago so I have no idea if you guys will even read this. However, if you do I hope you enjoy. I kind of feel inspired to write again so we'll see how long this lasts. I hope some of you are still here!

Driving around with Gabe we were mainly silent, I didn't know where we were going but we were driving for about 2 hours. The views were breathtaking but it looked like we were in the middle of nowhere. I was just soaking in the sights. I like to think my parents are still with me, maybe not physically. But I like to think they paint the skies for me. They've seemed extra beautiful since they've passed.

  "Gabe?"
 
  "Yes Lily?"

  "I appreciate you being here for me and for taking me out. But where are we going? We're a long way from the house now and I know Cole is probably wondering where I am." I told him, I started to get anxious realizing I hadn't spoken to Cole since I left without saying anything.

  "I really don't think right now is the time to worry about Cole. You just lost your parents. Who cares how he feels right now." Gabe said.

  "I care about him and I know he cares about me. I shouldn't have left without saying anything, that wasn't right. Tensions between the two of you haven't been right since you met. I don't want him to be upset." I vented.

  My anxiety was running high, Gabe just made it worse as he did not care about anything I was saying. I get how overprotective he has always been, but this doesn't feel right.

  "Gabe it's time to turn around and take me home. I'm tired and I really think I just need to be alone." I told him. I just wanted to go home and see Cole and apologize but I decided not to tell Gabe since it seemed to be a sore subject.

  "Are you sure this has nothing to do with Cole?" He asked me.

  "I'm sure. I just need sleep."

  "Okay." He responded.

  The rest of the ride was silent on the way back. It was just kind of awkward. Gabe has been around forever in my life, but I don't really agree with how he's behaved today. I just honestly don't want anymore stress on me.

  When we pulled up to the house Cole was sitting on my front porch. Gabe parked the tesla and got into his own car and drive off. He seemed irritated once he saw Cole and just took off. I didn't care though, I don't want to deal with drama right now.

  "Hey, I'm really sorry about today, Gabe, and well everything I guess." I said as I approached him. My head was down I was almost ashamed to make eye contact with him.

  He stood up as I got to him and pulled me into a hug. He stroked my hair and just held me.

  "It's okay. I know it's a rough time and Im sorry I couldn't be what you needed to help you." He told me lovingly.

  I pulled back from our embrace and looked up at him in almost disbelief. I thought he was going to be mad. He had every reason to be after all and he was still so sweet. The guilt really overcame at this point.

  "Honestly I think you were exactly what I needed. I called Gabe because he's just always been there. But after today, I think what i really needed was you." I told him.

  He looked at me and smiled. He then led me into the house and sat me on the couch. He turned on Grey's Anatomy for me and got me a blanket for us to snuggle into. I instantly got a wave fo exhaustion and my eyes started to close as my head was on Cole's chest.

  "I hope you know no matter what I'll always be here. Through thick or thin." He said silently as he stroked my hair.

  I was too far into drifting off to sleep to say anything back but I heard him. I cracked a small smile and with that I fell into a deep sleep. The most comfortable sleep Ive had in a while.
