GILLIANS POV: this poor girl. Fucking homophobic parents, what are parents even good for? I can tell she's hurt by the way she's typing. That girl never uses slang, and always adds things like :) <3 !! But not this time.
I sigh at my phone and text back, remembering it's early morning for her right now
"Hi y/n, I'm so sorry. I genuinely wanted to do the dress thing for fun, but I'm so so sorry it backfired :(( I will help you anyway I can, tell me anything you need, I will be here okay? I love you gorgeous <3"
Sitting on my bed, I stare at the ground under me. I feel how hurt she is. My heart aches while I gaze at the wooden floor. The corner of my eye catches the light of my phone turning on, and I quickly grab it.
I'm surprised to read her name pop up, she must've not slept very well.
"Gillian, Hi! I miss you so much, and it's okay it's not your fault !! My parents are just like that and I have to deal with it. Their going to ignore me while I'm here, I know it. I'm going to the field behind my house in a few minutes, wanna call?"
Giving my phone a sad smile I type back.
"Of course, text me when your outside ❤️"
She likes the message, and I wait. 4 minutes pass when my phone lights up again. I grab it and see her text.
YOUR POV: My parents glare at me as I walk out of the house down the street. I feel can my moms eyes following me as I walk down to the field. It's out of view from our house, and if I walk further back I should definitely be fine.
Checking back to make sure I can't see the house, I then text Gillian. I pat my face, feeling my damp skin. Fuck I didn't sleep last night, between tears and my anxiety, I couldn't make it through the night.
The notification of the phone ringing happens, and I click answer. "Hello?" Her voice calms me down almost immediately "hi Gillian" I rub the mud under my feet "how are you? I'm so sorry I wish I was there right now" I force a harsh laugh
"It's okay, I'm okay" I stop and look at the sky. Remembering all the feelings of last night, coursing through my system. "Y/n don't lie" I breath out and swallow hard "I promise it will be okay, I wish I could hug you right now"
The words make me smile, the feeling makes me blush . "Tell me places around you" I tell her about places I've looked at, but realize none of them are really what I want. "If I'm being totally honest,"
I feel the sloppy mud almost melt under my shoes "I really want to live near where we stayed in LA" my heartbeat races while I wait for her reply "huh funny you say that" my eyebrows raise, I feel my eyelids lift.
"I was just looking for fun, but I found a cute little house in a more suburban street around the hotel we stayed in." My heart almost jumps out of my chest "really?" Without realizing it Shes made me forget why I was crying last night.
"Yeah, ill send you it okay? Just know I love you so so much" I stop rubbing the mud "I love you a lot, you should probably go though, I'm sure you have something to get to" I begin to bite my nails.
"I do have a meeting with my manager in literally 6 minutes, but I love you!!!" I giggle "you know I love you too okay Gil? I'll text you after" she sighs "ok, bye!!" I hear the phone click and remember the reality I'm still in.
The house has given me some hope though. I decide I don't want to go home quite yet so I walk around a bit, buy a chocolate bar and sit on a wet bench, watching the wet grass move with the breeze.
It rained quite a bit last night, definitely fitting the mood right now, but only bringing me down more. I swear if it was bright and sunny out I'd probably feel just a little bit better.
After what feels like some long nice minutes of being out of this hell hole, I go home. I can't hide from them forever, plus the curiosity for the house is getting the better of me.
Hiding the phone in my bra as I did when I left, I open the door with dampened hair. My parents aren't in the living room which gives me a little bit of relief.
I walk into my room and quickly open the phone. I see Gillians sent me 2 pictures, I assume both for the house but I'm pleasantly surprised to see she's sent a selfie

I smile and feel my cheeks get warm. I look at the other photo, which is the house

She writes a text, which reads "this house reminds me of you, and I couldn't help but think you would like it" well shes right, like usual. I love it.
It's so cute, I can only imagine the picnics we could have, or the little fridge we could buy, or all the memories that could be made.
"It's adorable Gillian, I love it. I might actually have a place to buy now!" I dream of possibilities, hoping Gillian would ask "can I come along?" All I want is to have this house with her. Just us.
After a few hours she texts back "I knew you would like it!"
