I'm back! Did you miss your CITM updates?
Okay well I'm only back with a very short update this time :)
I'm still battling that damn writers block and also a severe case of 'sickness' from having to watch Charlie stick her tongue down Angelo's throat tonight :)
Am I the only one to come down with this sickness?
Anyways I only have one other chapter that's partly written but couldn't keep you waiting forever so decided you deserved this quickie update :P
Shall hope to be back with regular updates in the next week or so!
JSCO81 - Sorry that I had to break the news that this story probably won't go on for too much longer. I've got some great stuff coming up for 'The Truth Hurts' which I hope will make up for it :P
Lil20 - Slight drama afoot here! And OMG I can't believe you want me to include the song "Everything"! That is without a doubt my favourite song ever! I've actually used it before in one of my first fics but I am certainly trying to find a place for it here so keep a look out :P
Funkyshaz - Aww do you hate me for no make-out session here? Sorry but I gotta deal with the Joey/Gabby breakup and fallout first...but I do have some plans ahead for another possible CJ date - an official one this time! -and possible making out could ensue :P
Musician17 - "Tweedle dee and tweedle dum" - oh that cuts deep :) I'm gonna go sulk now while you better come up with an awesome review to make up for it - lol jk! But I'm glad you liked the 'cuteness' of CJ! And the Gods fanfiction haven't quite gotten the job done on my writer's block so keep praying :P
CJ4eva - You're welcome! Glad I could finally make it happen in one of my fics :P
Movie249 - Cheers for your ideas! I'm trying to work them out and hopefully it'll work. But Gabby isn't going anywhere anytime soon...depending what you guys think :P

"Love To Love You"
"I would love to love you like you do me,
I'd love to love you like you do me,
There's a pillar in my way you see,
I'd love to love you like you do me,
I, met you on a sunny Autumn day,
You instantly attracted me, when asking for the way,
God if I had known the pain I'd make you feel,
I would have stopped this thought of us, and turned upon my heel,
Though you should leave me,
Time make it be alright,
Though you must leave me,
Time will help you see the light,
You don't need me,
Time make it be alright,
Though you must leave me,
Believe me when I tell you,
I would love to love you like you do me,
I'd love to love you like you do me,
There's a pillar in my way you see,
I'd love to love you like you do me,
You recognised my barrier to love,
I know there's nothing worse than unrequited love, unrequited love,
So I prayed to God that I could give the love you gave to me,
But something's lying in my way, preventing it to be,
Though you should leave me,
Time make it be alright,
Though you must leave me,
Believe me when I tell you,
I would love to love you like you do me,
I'd love to love you like you do me,
There's a pillar in my way you see,
I'd love to love you like you do me,
I would love to love you like you do me,
I'd love to love you like you do me,
There's a pillar in my way you see,
I'd love to love you like you do me,
Joey sat patiently on her own on the couch at Aden's apartment waiting for Gabby to come back from her night out to break the news to her that their relationship was over. She hated being the bad guy, and truthfully she'd never actually had to break up with anyone, but she knew it couldn't be avoided if she wanted to be with Charlie. And she did.
A few days ago Joey was sure that she had deep feelings for Gabby and could return to the Bay and be nothing more than friends with Charlie. But it had only taken three days for her to fall back in love with Charlie. Well truthfully she knew she had to admit that she'd always been in love with Charlie. She just pushed her feelings aside in the hopes that she could move on.
Joey had believed that she had moved on with Gabby and could have a good relationship with the woman. She never thought she'd see Charlie again and refused to spend her life wallowing away over a woman who cheated on her and hurt her.
Now in the space of several days Charlie had proven her feelings for her, and that she would do whatever it took to be with her again. Honestly Joey still had some niggling doubts about Charlie's turn-around attitude and wasn't prepared to place all her hopes on Charlie being completely comfortable being in a relationship with her. But tonight was a good start.
That dance they shared sent shivers down Joey's spine. She so badly wanted to kiss Charlie then and there at the Surf Club but her own nerves and insecurities had gotten the better of her. Though she knew she was right to stop the kiss from happening. Joey sighed once more as she stared down at the floor.
Joey glanced up as she heard the front door open. She grimaced slightly as she watched Gabby and Rebecca walk into the apartment, arm in arm. As Gabby unlinked their arms, she skipped over to the couch, sitting down next to Joey. Gabby happily kissed Joey briefly, "Missed you tonight Joey."
Joey half-smiled, "You too. So ah…Aden and Nicole aren't with you?" "Nah the pair of them decided to head over to the Surf Club to go see some band play…but I was a little tired so we decided to head back here instead," Rebecca told her as she yawned slightly.
"Right of course…that's good…they'll have a good time…the band were pretty awesome," Joey revealed. Gabby frowned slightly, as she wrapped her arm around Joey's shoulders, "You went to see them?" "It just kinda came up…" Joey admitted, "Charlie kinda…surprised me and asked me to…ah join her for a drink down at the Surf Club to watch the band." "Oh…okay," Gabby replied weakly, unable to shake the feeling of jealousness.
Joey took a deep breath, "Actually I…can we…do you mind if we talk…about stuff?" Gabby nodded, "Sure. What's up?" Joey glanced up at Rebecca, "Becca I'm sorry…do you mind if…we have a moment?" Rebecca grinned, "Fine you two make out for a while…I'll just go…okay you two are sitting on the couch I'm meant to be sleeping on so I'll just…"
"It's cool Becca, why don't you go rest in the room Joey and I have been using? I can come get you when we're done," Gabby suggested. "Okay…if you're sure?" Rebecca asked, slightly concerned by Joey's expression. Gabby nodded, "Its fine, Bec." Rebecca shrugged before heading up the stairs to the bedroom.
Gabby relaxed slightly, and sat back against the couch, with her arm still comfortably around Joey's shoulders, "So you wanted to talk?" Joey turned to her, placing her own arm against Gabby's, "Yeah…I…" Gabby bit her lip, "Are you breaking up with me?"
Joey's eyes widened in surprise, "Well I…yes." "I suppose asking why would be a stupid question," Gabby replied hurtfully. "Gabs please…I didn't want this," Joey pleaded. "Then why Jo…why are you doing this?" Gabby asked sadly, "I thought we were good together."
Joey took Gabby's free hand in her own, "We are good together. You have been so amazing to me since we first met. You've helped me out so much to get my life back on track. I wouldn't be here…standing on my own two feet if it wasn't for you. But…"
"But you're in love with Charlie," Gabby finished for her, as several tears trickled down her cheeks, "After everything that woman put you through…she cheated on you Joey and broke your heart." Joey leant forwards, wiping the tears from Gabby's cheek, "I know…but she's changed. She's trying to prove to me that she can be with me without worrying about what other people think of our relationship."
"Are you two already back together?" Gabby questioned coldly. Joey cupped Gabby's face, pulling her forwards to kiss her on the forehead, "You know I could never cheat on you. I do love you Gabby, but I told Charlie tonight…I need to give things another chance with her…I'm sorry."
"But if you love me and know that I won't ever hurt you the way she did…why are you still choosing her?" Gabby begged softly. "Because I still have feelings for her. Because I can't ignore those feelings for her. Because it's not fair to you," Joey answered quietly, "Gabby…I love you…I do…I'm just not…in love with you."
Gabby began crying softly, so Joey pulled her into a hug, wrapping her arms around her comfortingly. "We were so good together, Joey. I love you too. Why can't you just give us this chance?" Gabby sobbed. Joey gently raised Gabby's face from her shoulder, so they were looking deep into each other's eyes, "Gabs…I know that we love each other…and things have been really good between us for the past few months…but I think we know that we both got into this relationship…when we were in love with other people."
Gabby's eyes widened, "What are you talking about? I mean obviously you're in love with…Charlie…but there's nobody else for me." Joey squeezed her hand, "C'mon Gabs I'm not blind…maybe I should have said something sooner and not gotten into this relationship when your hearts with…I know okay…you don't have to hide it from me." "I'm not hiding anything, Jo," Gabby claimed. Joey smiled calmly, "Its okay Gabby…I've pretty much known the whole time we've been together…I know you're in love with Rebecca."
Could there be love brewing between another couple here?
I know several of you have commented on the possible Gabby/Becca pairing and so far I've only got some thoughts on what I can do with them and haven't written anything solid - dang writers block!
So what's your verdict on this coupling: yay or nay?
Let me know what you think! :P
