Chapter 24

Gilbert's POV

I was concentrated on fixing the vehicle. I was beginning to see the issue so currently I was just figuring out how to fix it so that it'll run smoothly.

"Your right" I heard Blair say to Becky.

She paused for a second and I tried to tune out the conversation, thinking it was rude to eavesdrop, at least until I heard her speak the next line.

"I want Gilbert back" she said to Becky.

I froze.

I felt my heart beating rapidly against my rib cage as a huge smile invaded my face. I could feel a stampede of elephants dancing around in my stomach.

I stole glance at her and saw she was smiling at Becky.

She's ethereal. Everything about her, drives me crazy. It was like my heart didn't know how to beat without her and I only felt joy when she was around.

She's intoxicating.

I could feel my face turning beet red as I grin. She said she wants me back...I finally won her over.

I don't think I've ever felt this happy in my whole entire life. Today felt like the best day I've had in a long time.

"We do have another dilemma though...when are you gonna tell him?" Becky asks Blair.

"Tell him what?" Blair asks obviously confused.

"That you want to come with me to travel" Becky respondes.

I could feel the smile slowly start to drop from my face as I realize the minute I finally got to win her back...she was gonna leave.

She was gonna go far away for God knows how long.

It's not like I don't understand. Endora is a complete dead end for both of us, it's just that I don't want her to go.

I've made it more than clear that I'm not capable of fully functioning properly without her. Without her I feel like I have no energy, like nothing I do matters.

I sigh and run a hand through my hair in frustration.

"Try it again" I tell Becky's grandma as I remove my hands from the vehicle. She turns the key and the engine sputters just like it has been for the past ten minutes.

Except, this time I finally realized where the problem was coming from and how to fix it.

I looked over at Blair and saw she was smiling and laughing with Becky.

God, she's so close to me and I still miss her.

I just want to hold her in my arms and make her smile at me.

Becky's grandma sighs in frustration "I don't know" she says referring to the problem with her car.

I tear my gaze off of Blair.

I try to stop a small smile from spreading on my face as I nod "yeah...I don't know".

"It's a mystery" I respond.

"Gilbert listen, thanks anyway" Becky's grandma says to me.

I nod "no problem" I responded.

I take a deep breath and then exhale.

I know that this is an extremely selfish thing to do, but when it comes to Blair I can't help myself. I can't lose her again, I won't be able to handle it.

I love her, I don't want her to leave me when I just got her back.

I walk over to the big tree their situated under and take a seat on the grass next to Blair.
