A Gil love story

kidnapping is okay, right? (revised)

Adeelah p.o.v

I was walking down the hall just getting back from the bathroom but I was suddenly dragged into a random closet.

"Hey what's happening."

A hand covered my mouth

"Shhhhhh."

"What's happening."

"I only want to talk."

I knew that voice and when I turned around my suspicion was confirmed.

"Gil."

"Hey, I wanted to talk to you real quick."

"I thought we were going our separate ways."

"Yea but I thought it would be good for us to clear the air out with each other."

We both took a seat on a random desk.

"Would you wanna talk about it?"

"Well, how are you."

"I'm good, how was the island."

"You never forget your roots. I saw that you moved on."

"Yea I saw the same for you."

There wasn't that much that we were comfortable talking about so an awkward silence fell over us.

"What did you really bring me here for?"

"Adeelah. I know things were left badly last time but I want to start a clean slate with you."

"I do too but I still have mixed feelings about this."

"About what."

"About us. I mean I know we both moved on but what are we to each other?"

"Adeelah."

He moved closer to me and held my hand.

"Let's start as friends and move from there."

I pulled my hand away from him.

"See, no matter what we do we will keep going to our old ways."

"Yea but who's holding back. I'm trying to make an effort while you're here trying to hold yourself back.

"You need to understand that people go slow."

"People go slow but they make efforts. Adeelah I understand if you need more time but I need you to decide on whether or not you would like to make the effort and how I can help."

He raised my chin.

"And look me in the eye when you make that decision."

"Gil stops. Look you're already going back, we aren't dating anymore so stop touching me and I don't need to make a decision right now. There are things that you can't fix so don't expect it to be this relationship."

I walked away from him and popped my head out the door to check the hallways. I walked out the door and never turned back. Going to class would be pointless right now so I went to my room.

"Thinks he will boss me around like that."

Some things made me want to go back to him but too much time has passed that starting over now would seem like going in a circle, we are only loving each other because that is all we know.

Gil p.o.v

I was hiding in a closet trying to hype myself to talk about Adeelah I was about to leave when I saw her so out of panic I brought her into the closet

"Hey what's happening."

I covered her mouth so that she couldn't scream

"Shhhhhh."

"What's happening."

"I only want to talk."

She turned around and her eyes turned big

"Gil."

"Hey, I wanted to talk to you real quick."

"I thought we were going our separate ways."

"Yea but I thought it would be good for us to clear the air out with each other."

We took seats on opposite parts of the room.

"Would you wanna talk about it?"

"Well, how are you."

"I'm good, how was the island."

"You never forget your roots. I saw that you moved on."

"Yea I saw the same for you."

There wasn't anything I knew to say now so a silence well over us.

"What did you really bring me here for?"

"Adeelah. I know things were left badly last time but I want to start a clean slate with you."

"I do too but I still have mixed feelings about this."

"About what."

"About us. I mean I know we both moved on but what are we to each other?"

"Adeelah."

I moved closer and held her hand to try and comfort her.

"Let's start as friends and move from there."

She pulled her hand away from mines

"See, no matter what we do we will keep going to our old ways."

"Yea but who's holding back. I'm trying to make an effort while you're here trying to hold yourself back."

"You need to understand that people go slow."

"People go slow but they make efforts. Adeelah I understand if you need more time but I need you to decide on whether or not you would like to make the effort and how I can help."

I wanted her to look me in the eye so I could see whether or not she was going to mean her answer.

"And look me in the eye when you make that decision."

"Gil stops. Look you're already going back, we aren't dating anymore so stop touching me and I don't need to make a decision right now. There are things that you can't fix so don't expect it to be this relationship."

She walked out and I was kinda mad about the way she was acting.

"You know what I give up. I never loved you anyway."

I couldn't tell if I was lying to myself or her but it was something that needed to be said for both of us. I left the room and with all the pent-up anger in me, I punched the wall leaving a small dent.

"What the fuck is going on"

I sighed and tried to calm down.

"Why is everything so damn confusing."

Maybe I should just give up. It's been years, there's no way we love each other the same way we did back then.
