Thanksgiving

Gretchen's P.O.V

I'm so nervous and SOO very late… way to go Gretchen that would be a Great surprise I'm sure … showing up when everyone's gone!

Let me check the address again, yeah it's here... What am I suppose to say?

I think the typical "Hey Claire Nice to see you again" won't work in this situation, probably she won't even want to hear any of it anyway, and what if her dad was wrong? What if she doesn't want me in there…? I have done something that had caused her pain so is more then fair if she is not in the mood to talk to me, but I have to try. I have to tell her I made I mistake! I'm not hoping for forgiveness I just think she deserves to know the truth!

I think this is the door, breathe BREATH GRETCHEN

At least I will get to see her again even if it's only to have my butt kicked out of the house right? God the power that woman have's on me..

Knock knock knock

Ok it's done… no turning back now! Maybe if I run... Oh the door is opening its ... He looks a little distressed, seems like something has happened…

"Sorry I'm late…" Yeah I was to busy trying not to run away "Hey... C'mon in…" OH He is smiling now and he's more relaxed, maybe I have interrupted something but I don't feel unwelcome so I think everything is… OH my God there she is… she looks Gorgeous; she didn't saw me yet or maybe she is pretending? …No... She is turning now...She looks so surprised, she keeps her eyes on me and I can't describe the emotions in there, I'm not sure if she is happy or bothered to see me...she stares quietly as if she is struggling with something in her head and I feel attention on our reactions.. I don't know what to say…I feel like I'm on the spot now...

The only thing I can do is stare back at her and make her see how much I missed her and that I regret every day I spent without her… No words are spoken and for a moment I think I saw some anger in there but all of a sudden her eyes are sparkling like stars and she is smiling at me... that smile that haunts my every thought and I can't help but walk towards her now… I need to touch her; I need to know that this is really happening and she is right in front of me! As I'm standing in front of her my guilt stops me and I can see the doubt in her face, she thinks I'm going away again… oh who cares Sorry Claire but IM SO GOING TO HUG YOU I know I'm being impulsive but I need to do it! She is surprised, she doesn't move… maybe I've crossed the line here… maybe I should pull back... " I'm so sor…" wow she pulls me close to her and embraces me with such a force … " I'm so sorry Claire I never meant to hurt you" she looks up at me and she is smiling in the most honest and heart felted way I ever saw in her and she whispers in my ear " it's ok.. You are here now!" This woman is really amazing… She then asks me to sit while she is bringing something for us to eat; I don't feel like eating but yeah sure... Why not… she sits in front of me... looking kind of shy actually... Cute!

"So my dad called you?"

"Yeah... Well … he said you were feeling low and he knew I was feeling low so…!" maybe she didn't wanted her dad to call me… the uncomfortable silence.. What's she thinking?

"How is your new roommate?" what? she is thinking about my new roommate? Hilarious... soooo typical… but something tells me that there is more to that question…

"Fine… dull.. Actually is awful, no one is trying to kill me for days now… and she is a slob!" basically she is not YOU

"You Know... The Other side of the room is still available…" was that a Hint? That I can come back… nah maybe not because now she looks like she regretted saying it…

"Sorry you were right; I don't know why you would ever want to move in with me again!" She looks so sad… please look at me… do I look like I don't want to move in with you?

"Maybe because of all the people I met in college so far, you are the only one that made any sense to me." She is smiling, I think I said the right thing without freaking her out with my feelings for her... this moment is perfect and my body suddenly starts to shake under her gaze and RIGHT NOW im very aware that I can no longer leave her side again!
