After was seemed like hours of absolute silence and only her thoughts hounding her, there was a very faint tap at her second story window. She didn't think anything of it until it happened again and again after that. She climbed out of her more than comfortable bed and walked to her window, opened her curtains then lifted the window. She looked down and saw Chris standing with a handful of rocks, ready to throw.
"What're you doing here?" she yelled, only she was whispering.
"Come down," Chris whispered.
"No, Chris leave," Gabby said.
"I'm not goin anywhere until you come down," Chris refused. Gabby rolled her eyes and sighed, but did as Chris asked. She tip-toed down the stairs and out the front door. When she saw Chris standing there, it took every ounce of her energy not to hug and kiss him.
"If Ace sees you here, he'll murder you," she said quietly.
"I don't care," Chris said.
"Well I do. I don't wanna see you get hurt."
"Then you do care about me," Chris said, hopeful.
"Of course I do."
"Do you love me?" Gabby stared blankly at him. She was completely surprised by the question. No one had ever asked her that.
"Chris, we're only 15, we don't know what love is," she replied. Chris could only stare with a million thoughts racing through his mind. He knew the only reason she said that was because she was afraid.
"Well," he started. "If you ever change your mind, you know where to find me." And he walked away, possibly out of Gabby's life forever. All because of the blood in their veins.
Gabby headed inside after standing in her front yard for a while. She got halfway up the stairs and realized she couldn't live that way... without Chris. She'd only known him for 2 days, but it seemed like an eternity and she wanted to spend forever with him... forever and a day. She ran back down the stairs and out the door, leaving it to slam behind her. Ace stirred...
