Happily Ever After Without The Fairy Tale (Gabe Saporta)[Oneshot]

I really loved Gabe. We were just too young...that love faded, but since I saw him last...god I miss him. And the way he looked at me broke my heart; such long in his eyes. It's my fault though...I broke up with him... if I hadn't we might still be together, might be happy. Now, the only thing that we 'might be' is too late.

"Are you going tonight, Rory?" my roommate asked me, interrupting my thoughts.

"I dunno..." I answered, looking up from my journal as I closed it. "Should I?"

"I think you should." She told me.

I sighed and nodded. What's the worst that could happen? "I guess I'll go."

"He wants you to." she added.

So I went.My night went like this:
I went to the concert and all was fine. Then, Gabe sang this nice little ditty called You Can't Be Missed If You Never Go Away. I nearly threw up. The lyrics were familiar. The told of our past, I'm so sure of it!
When the concert ended I went backstage. Gabe avoided me for twenty minutes until I cornered him coming out of the restroom where he had changed clothes.
"Gabe? Can I talk to you? Please?" I asked, holding my arms between the doorframes so as to create a blockade.

"Uhh sure..." he said looking down at me "here?"

I shook my head "Is there someplace moreprivate?"

He nodded, "Out back."

I moved out of his way and let him lead me out the back door of the venue. He leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette as I took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry."

He raised an eyebrow "For?"

"Breaking up with you."

"Oh..." he shrugged.

"Is that song about us?" I questioned, watching him.

He shrugged "Partly."

I bit my lip, "Which part isn't?"

He sang "It's the end of broken heart. I went on without you."

Did he just say what I think he did?

He nodded as he watched me as if he read my thoughts.
"I never got over you, Rory. I never wanted you to leave in the first place!" He sighed deeply and took a long drag, closing his eyes. He didn't smoke when we were together.

"I'm...I'm sorry..." I managed to stutter, watching him in shock.

He shrugged, eyes still closed.

I bit my lip, "Do I get another chance?"

He looked at me, "Like you want another chance. You don't love me, you told me that."

"Yeah, I told you that, but you know you really never know what you have until it's gone."

He glanced at me and his eyes caught mine causing him to stare.
I stared back, I wanted him to know I was telling the truth.

"I love you, Gabriel Eduardo Saporta, there is no other man out there for me. And if you'll give me a second chance... I would gladly take it without hesitation."

He slowly nodded and as he did a tear slid down my face. I'm not exactly sure why...maybe it was because I had never truly felt so strongly before and the feeling was overwhelming me.
He reached over and wiped it away gently with his thumb just as it slipped down my cheek, leaving his thumb there afterwards as he gazed at me.
I bit my lip and returned his gaze as he slowly leaned in. I did the same and we met in the middle, and as we did so, I swear my heart stopped, however cliche it may seem.

And I still remember it all as if it were yesterday, and though I don't believe in fairy tales, he made me believe in happily ever afters.
I closed my journal and looked up to watch my best friend, my soul mate, my baby, start "The World Has It's Shine (But I Would Drop It On A Dime)". And as he did...he glanced at me. And I swear, "however cliche it may seem", I fell for him again...somehow.
I'm every cliche but I simply do it best!
It was cliche. It was dumb. It had 666 words which is the sign of the beast. It was cursed. Oh well.
