Chapter 8. Gabrielle
I woke up in a place I did not recognize , I got up and pulled my phone out of my bag
you have 27 messages
27 ? I only have a couple contacts , and I have never spent more than a day without checking my messages. How long have I been here ? I checked the date 8/4 very normal yesterday was the third . Suddenly I heard someone singing in the bathroom , uh oh what have I done ? The door opened and my heart lurched please god please why didn't you stop me from being so stupid ? Then a newly shaven Caleb comes out of the bathroom with a towel over himself " hey bro " Thank god " "just going to say that you were amazing last night ! who knew maybe we should play bars more often ?" I groaned " why " I pointed to the sign that read 'welcome to sturbridge ' "are we here ?"
Caleb laughed " well if you drive when you're drunk you usually get arrested " Wait , it all came back to me we had gone to the face and I had seen Alesha all sexy in leather on stage , but she had gone to sit down with a particularly handsome guy who looked about her age . Laughing with him and holding his hand until they went off and she drove away on his motorbike . That's probably when I started on the beer . " And we saw Alesha damn that girl is foxy if I could I totally would , but she's a band member and ... " I gave him a look " oh right and you , if you like her so much just tell her ask her out nobody is as gorgeous and dorky as the 2 of you " I rolled my eyes at him how little he knew " So I take it you didn't see the guy sitting on the stool next to her ?" Caleb processed this for a second " Oh you mean Jackson from shawshank ,he's an old sweety ! " Wait ... " you know him !" How could he know him and not tell me , i need to know the competition " me and him go way back " he made a big semi circle with his hand " what is he like " I asked eager " well he would be a threat , but nothing is better than a good old hearty competition ! " Shit why do I always do this why don't I just act out tell her how I feel , that I dream about her everyday . But then if she is with the bar guy and i tell her it would be awkward between us and I would lose her as a friend too . Nah might just as well go on loving her in silence . " aggggh " I threw the pillow over my face and was deep in thought .
