Bubble Guppies Teen Years

Chapter 7: Entangled Between Threads (part 2)

Several days passed and the situation does not improve for our blue-haired friend. Gil has dramatically changed his attitude. He stopped being that outgoing, fun and happy boy. Now he only pretended to be, when in reality he was suffering. Many times he would cry in his solitude. He was alone. His girlfriend had forbidden him to see his friends. He had put them aside on her orders. And if he didn't obey, she would hit him. Or worse, she could ruin his life.

On a rainy day, Gil decided to leave his home alone. He put on a gray hooded sweater and walked out, not caring much about the rain. Anyway, it wasn't that much. He just wanted to be alone. Well, he could only be with Jane and let's say that he no longer felt comfortable with her company. He went to a cafeteria that he used to visit frequently since he got depressed. That's right, Gil was depressed. A waiter approached where Gil was to take his order.

"Good morning, young man. What do you want to order this time?" The waiter asked.

"The usual, a cup of black coffee" Gil answered without see him.

"Just that? Gil, you should eat more. Look at you, you've lost weight and not in a good way" The waiter recommend. It seems the waiter knew him. Gil was a frequent customer since "that day".

"Just ... bring me the damn coffee" Gil replied raising the tone of his voice. But then he calmed down a little. "Sorry….I´m a little….tired"

"Do not worry about it. I'll bring it to you right away" The waiter answered very quiet. He went away to bring him his order. Gil sighted.

"What should I do? I am alone, and nobody will believe me ... I think ... that there is only one option …" Gil said that sadly. At that moment he had a drastic thought that could end his suffering once and for all. But someone sat at his table. He noticed who that person was.

"Gilly?...it´s you?" She was Molly.

"N..no….I think you have the wrong person" Gil answered quickly. He was covering his face a little with his hood.

"Gil….I know it's you. That ... face is unmistakable" Molly answered nervous. Gil was looking the place desperately with his eyes. She understood his body language "It's okay, Gilly. She isn't here. She isn't here".

"How do you know where I was? I didn't say anything to you or the guys" Gil asked confused.

"Well….I have my methods" Molly smiled looking to the waiter. The same one who was attending to Gil. The waiter arrived with two cups of coffee. It seemed that she also asked for one.

"Here are your cups of coffee. I hope you enjoy" The waiter said.

"Thanks!" Molly said. Gil was silent. The waiter left them to continue his job "He´s a friend of my family"

"I see him often when I come here" Gil answered. They were silent for a long time.

"Gil…..I know something is bothering you. You look very sad, thinner and tired. What's the matter with you? Here is just you and me. Nobody else. Neither the guppies nor Jane. Just you and me. You can trust me" Molly asked worried. Gil stayed quiet "Gil ... if you are suffering, I also suffer. You are important to me and I cannot bear to see you like this" He had just had his cup of coffee and drank a little. Finally, he confessed.

"(sigh) I'm unhappy, Molly. I stopped seeing my friends and you because of Jane. I thought she loved me, but she just likes to use me. She just wants me to be with her and do what she wants. She wants to control EVERYTHING I do" Gil answered very sad.

"But that is not love. It is control and suffering" Molly added "Why don't you break up with her?"

"I tried. But if I do ... Oh no ... I can't tell anyone" He answered that a little scared.

"Tell me, Gil! She will never know" Molly asked him very worried.

"Because….If I say what she does to me ... She will ruin my life. She can sue me or put me in jail for "gender violence" Gil confessed.

"Gil, I know you well. I know you wouldn't be able to hurt ANYONE" Molly said.

"I did nothing to her. Rather I am the victim. She insults me, offends me, hurts me and even hits me. But no one would believe that a woman hits a man. But she can say that I hit her and everyone would judge me as an abuser ... I can't deal with this anymore! No longer!" Gil began to cry. He didn't want to do it in front of her, but he couldn't take it anymore. Molly gave him a napkin to wipe his nose and tears.

"Gil…..I believe you" Molly answered.

"Huh?"

"Gil ... she doesn't just abuse you. She mistreats many people. Among them I include myself. She mistreats me too. She always wants to make me feel bad when she can. I think ... that's why she decided to go out with you ... To make me suffer. She knows you are my best friend" Molly explained.

"She did what she wanted with me. I am a toy for her…..But what can I do? If I do something, she will ruin me" Gil asked still sad.

"Mmmmm well…..Two heads think better than one ... or rather ... six" Molly answered with a confident smile.

"Huh?"

Without wasting more time. Molly made some calls. She asked them to go to her house. A few minutes later, Gil and Molly arrived at her home. They waited a long time until the others arrived.

"Hello there!" Deema said.

"Hi!" Goby, Oona and Nonny said. They looked at Gil a little surprised.

"Wow ... this is unexpected" Oona said.

"So finally Jane let go of your rope a little" Goby said that giggling a little. But seeing that Gil and Molly did not have faces to want to joke. He immediately stopped.

"What Goby was trying to say is that we finally see each other after a long time" Oona commented.

"Yeah. He was ignoring us" Deema said.

"Guys…..Let Gil explain what has been happening to him" Molly ordened. The rest decided to sit down in the sofa and they will listen Gil. At first, he hesitated to tell his friends about what Jane did to him. Since they did not believe him at first. But Molly gave him a little support to say it. So he started telling them everything. Since the insults, his prohibitions on seeing his friends and family. Even pinches, slaps and bumps. The guys gasped for the revelation. They started to feel bad.

"And why didn't you tell us that before?" Oona asked.

"Because she can ruin my life if I confess" Gil answered.

"But…...It's weird ... Almost always the abuser in a relationship is the man" Deema commented confused.

"Well…...I think we made a mistake by not taking what Gil told us seriously" Nonny finally commented.

"What are you talking about, Nonners?" Deema asked.

"I decided to do a little research on that topic. And I realized that men can also be abused by women. According to an approximation. 100% of complaints of gender violence. 79% are from abused women and 27% are from abused men. Furthermore, 1% of abused women are false complaints" Nonny explained.

"Oh no…..I….I was wrong. I shouldn't have doubted Gil" Deema answered.

"In fact, it is also the fault of all of us. We are very used to seeing it normal for a woman to abuse a man. But if we see the opposite, we would have reacted differently" Nonny added.

"Yeah. We are very sorry, buddy" Goby said.

"It's okay…..I should have realized how evil she is" Gil said.

"Gilly….This time you are not alone. You have friends who care about you. And we won't let her get away with it" Molly comforted him.

"But if that is true, we have a problem. How can we prove that she is abusive in case she intends to falsely accuse Gil?" Oona asked. The rest started to think a lot of this...Until….

"Mmmm maybe I have a idea" Molly said that. The rest approached her to hear her idea. Only whispers were heard.

"That´s a good idea!" Goby said.

"With that, we will corner her" Oona added.

"She will regret having messed with one of ours! If someone messes with a guppy, they mess with all the Bubble Guppies!" Deema said that with an exaggerated tone.

"Now ... let's go for that damn b*tch!" Molly said very determined. The rest were surprised and a little scared. They couldn't imagine Molly being upset with someone. But the safest thing is because that person has messed with Gil, the love of her life.

The day of the plan had arrived. Everything seemed normal. Gil was once again dating Jane like he used to be. Everything seemed normal. They were passing through one of the hallways of the school. There were not many students.

"These days have been very good. I haven't heard you complain about anything, good boy" Jane said playing with his hair.

"Well…..Things are understood to the good right?" Gil commented.

"Not bad, honey" She kissed his cheek. In this moment, Molly arrived conveniently where the couple are.

"Hi, guys!" Molly said.

"Hello, Molly!" He just hugged her in front of Jane. This time, Molly smirked her. Jane was furious.

"Gil…..you don't remember we talked about that ... kind of things" Jane said trying hide her wraith.

"Mmmm no. You shouldn't overdo it. She is just my best friend. I haven't seen or talked to her for a long time" Gil said that without any fear. He felt that way when he was with Molly.

"Yeah….just best friends…." Molly added with a confident smile. Jane hated that kind of gesture. And worse when it came to "HER"

"Gil…...Leave her IMMEDIATELY!" Jane shouted "It's an order!"

"Why should I listen to you? All you have done is isolate me from the people I care about" Gil decided to defend himself for the first time from his abusive girlfriend. But she didn't take it very well and took it by the neck and hit it on a wall.

"Are you trying to challenge me, you brainless idiot?" Jane asked very angry. This time, she was holding him tighter.

"Agh"

"LEAVE HIM ALONE, YOUR SADISTIC MANIPULATOR!" Molly shouted very annoyed. Jane just leave him and he ran to Molly.

" What did you call me, damn brunette?" Jane asked.

"Just as you hear it. I am tired of how you manipulate my best friend. How you make him feel bad and how you constantly hit him just because you want to do with him what you want. That, my friend, is not love. It is aggression. Both physical and psychological" Molly explain that.

"Gil ... so you told her the truth ... didn't you?" Jane said that evilly.

"Yes….because I'm sick of you" Gil replied fearlessly.

"It's because Gil realized how bad you are. I don't consider you as a vulture, a consider you as something a vulture would eat" Molly said that.

"Hehehe…..I warned you, Gil. You're going to spend your whole miserable life in a cell" Jane said that evilly preparing her cellphone to call the police "Anything you want to say before you say "goodbye" to your freedom?" In this moment, Gil and Molly smiled.

"You talk a lot…..Please….Smile at the cameras!" Molly said that very confident. Jane noted that there were some hidden cameras throughout the hallway. Immediately, the other guppies appeared surrounding her.

"What kind of sick trick is this?" Jane shouted.

"You said everything perfectly. And all this is recorded" Deema said.

"Don't even bother destroying the cameras. The recording has been sent from the cameras to Nonny´s computer." Goby commented.

"And don't even try to sue Gil. Because if you file charges against him, we will file charges against you. We have a lot of evidence and you don't. You would be arrested for abuse and at the same time for false accusation if you sue him" Nonny explained "My father is a lawyer. So, we will not have problems with the process ... But you?"

"Jane…..You're done!" Molly smirked her.

"You ... you ... YOU ... DAMN BRUNETTE! ... I WILL KILL YOU WHEN I CAN!" Jane shouted furiously.

"Don't even try. That would be another charge" Nonny interrupted her quietly.

"Do you know something, "darling"? We could avoid legal problems ... with only two conditions" Gil smiled very confident.

"What do you want, damn it!" Jane asked angrily.

"One: You are going to leave all my friends alone, including Molly" Gil said that. "And two: You and I are nothing as of today. So we're done. Don't look for me at all. Understood?" She was thinking about it a lot. Reluctantly, she agreed to the deal.

"FINE! Like you want" She said that angrily

"Jane...one last question….How does it feel to be manipulated? That's how I felt in our entire relationship, witch!" Gil said that with a confident smile. She only growled and decided to ran away. Finally, it seems like she would never bother them anymore. Gil was greatly relieved. As if a huge load had disappeared from him.

"Finally….It's over" Gil said that happily. The six decided to hug each other.

"At last that Jane had what she deserved" Deema added.

"I'm glad Gil is the same again" Oona said.

"I am truly grateful to all of you. I can't ask for better friends like you" Gil smiled.

"We always be with you, Gilly!" Molly answered. Goby, Deema and Oona smiled mischievously at each other and decided to leave Gil and Molly alone. Nonny only saw his friends. He understood their body language and without saying anything, followed the rest. Now, Gil and Molly were alone.

"Molly…...Thank you….for all you do for me" Gil said.

"You´re welcome, Gilly! I will always be there when you need me" Molly answered.

"Well….Molly….I have to tell you something very important" Gil was scratching his neck nervously.

"What is it?" She asked curiously.

"Well….I have to confess that I feel like I really didn't love Jane" Gil confessed.

"What?" Molly was a little shocked.

"You know? I only dated her because ... just because I wanted to get someone off my mind. I am in love with someone else. But I decided not to tell her because I was afraid that this other person would not feel the same way about me. So I went out with Jane" Gil explained.

"Really? That was very silly of you, Gil!" Molly answered.

"Yeah….I admit it….But now I know what I have to do. Even if that person doesn't feel the same, I have to be brave and tell her my feelings" Gil said that determined.

"Well...That's good!...If you tell me who she is, I can help you" Molly said that a little sad. She didn't know who the girl Gil was in love with was.

"I don't think you can help me this time" Gil was blushed in this moment.

"Why?"

"Because that girl ... is you" Gil finally confessed her. She was shocked "Yes, Molly. I have been in love with you for a long time. But I never had the guts to tell you because I thought you only wanted me as your best friend" She was silent a long time. Gil was already preparing to be friendzoned by her

"Gilly...I….I…..I´m in love with you for a long time too. I never dared because ... I also believed that for you I was just your best friend…." Molly blushed a lot.

"Wow….That's awkward!" Gil commented "So ... we should ... you know ... kiss to break the tension ... if you want"

"Hehehe. My silly boy. Come here!" Without wasting more time, Molly took his face and kissed him on the lips. They made slow, smooth, tender movements. Then they separated to recover air.

"You were right. That broke the tension" She answered.

"Molly…..I love you so much" Gil said. She giggled.

"I love you too, my Gilly" This time, he kissed her lips one more time. Without them knowing, the rest of their friends saw everything.

"Mission accomplished, friends" Deema said that quietly. The four guppies high five each other.

Finally, the horror with Jane was over for Gil. And his dream with Molly had begun. They both went out for a walk together, but this time, holding hands. Ready to create cute memories together.

To continue…

Awwwww Golly confirmed! You must admit that that was cute. Finally Gil is happy again. Without saying anything else, I say goodbye and see you in the next chapter. What will it be about? We will see.
