A Simpler World.
Ch.1 Common Sense.
Of all the decisions one can make in life, choosing to listen to that one person who makes the world spin around you can mean the difference in between one life and another completely different.
"Peter listen to me!"
"Do I have to Dawson?" Gabriella Dawson grabs Mills' arm and spins him towards her.
"Yes!"
Peter sighs and looks her in her brown eyes.
"Tell me Gabby, why did you hid this from me. Tell me why you didn't tell me this back at the academy banquet?"
"Peter, I love you. I didn't tell you because I didn't know how. I don't want to lose you, and this has been eating me up for weeks. I wanted to tell you, believe me, I did. How do you tell someone you love something that will make them upset? Just seeing you now, proves to me that I was right, when I imagined how you would react. I love you Peter Mills, I don't want you hurt, especially now, when all of this stuff is adding up on to you." Peter watches her as tears stream down her face as she tells him why she didn't tell him about Chief Boden's affair with his mother and his father's death. Then slowly, he reaches up and wipes the tears from her face and pulls her into a tight embrace.
"Sweetheart, I am sorry for making you cry, but I am just so angry at this point. I love you Gabby, but I need to process this alone. If you need anything, call me, but I need to process this now. I hope that you will be ok. I will see you on the next shift."
"Peter, If no when you want to talk, call me please baby?"
"I will sweetheart, I love you." With that Peter, lets go, kisses her, and walks out of the Firehouse.
