Kitchen / Bathroom - Gabrielle
@gabriellehale TW: eating disorder, self harm, depression
Chase: Chase found Gabrielle in the kitchen, "Hey, what the fuck is going on?" said Chase, frustrated and a little drunk.
Gabrielle: Gabrielle turned to look at Chase. "I'm at a party!" she said taking a shot.
Chase: "Yeah I can see that" said Chase, "and I saw it on someone's instagram" he added, annoyed. He got himself a shot as well.
Gabrielle: “Awe someone put me on their instagram? How sweet!" She replied to the boy.
Chase: "Don't be cute with me, I'm mad at you" said Chase, wincing at the shot.
Gabrielle: Gabrielle crossed her arms. "Well I'm mad at you! Leave!"
Chase: "No, I'm not leaving. I just got here!" said Chase, "and what do you have to be mad about? That I helped a crying friend who was knocking on my door?" he added.
Gabrielle: "Why are you mad at me?" She questioned as she looked at him. "I'm mad that my night was ruined because Chanel decided to kiss another guys boyfriend and then cry about it." She was holding in the fact that she listened to the convo for a bit longer.
Chase: "I'm mad because all I've done is be upfront with you, but you snuck out to this party like I'm your parents. Not telling me" said Chase taking a sip of his mixed drink and clearing his throat. "What am I? Another nuisance in your house?"
Gabrielle: "Chase, you are not my keeper, You are not my parents. I do not need to ask your permission for where I go. You were busy anyway."
Chase: "Yeah, I was busy being a good friend. Someone who is a good role model" said Chase, referencing their child. He wanted to be a good person for her. "and I made it clear I wanted to spend time with you tonight, and I had to track you down at a party? I thought we had a plan and something came up but we were going to get back to that"
Gabrielle: Gabrielle felt herself breaking even more, maybe this is why she shouldn't drink anymore. "How am I supposed to fuck you an hour later after I hear you calling Chanel hot. Did she kiss you too? She kissed wren who had a girlfriend she didn't like. "I couldn't bear to listen."
Chase: "I gassed up my friend!!! And not to mention, you were eavesdropping!!" said Chase, exhausted by this conversation. He pulled her into the bathroom. "Why can't you get it through your head that I am only into you. I have a family with you!!!" he said whisper yelling.
Gabrielle: "Rich coming from you, what is your radio name again?" She questioned. "Because I'll never be enough!" She snapped. "I'll never be as pretty or hot. I'll never be skinny, I'll never not be depressed and I'm never going to get better. I'll never be a good [whispers] mother. How can you possibly like someone so horrible? I hate myself, and you should hate me too."
Chase: "I don't care about other girls!" said Chase, "I don't care about any of that. I just like you! I love you!" Chase yelled, snapping back. "I love you, is that not enough?" he asked.
Gabrielle: Gabrielle was in tears now. "YOur love is everything to me. It's all I have. But is my love enough for you? I'm so scared to lose you Chase, to be imperfect and lose you, to have a blemish on a photo I post or something." She said as she looked at him.
Chase: "I don't care what you look like, I'm in love with you as a person" said Chase, "Like it's such a bonus that you're so sexy, but I love you" he added. "I'm all in on this. I want you, I stay wanting you. You could break my heart, but it's yours to break".
Gabrielle: Gabrielle wrapped her arms around him."I'm trying so hard to get better." She let out. "i want to be better for you... for her." She said referring to Genevieve. For the first time in a while she heard him, the words registered in her brain.
Chase: Chase gave her a kiss on the cheek, "I know, and I've talked to Chanel about being nicer. She's just also going through some stuff right now" said Chase. "You have to trust me, I really only have eyes for you and our future together".
Gabrielle: Gabrielle took a deep breath as she started to calm down. "Just tell her to avoid me." Gabrielle let out. "Our future." She repeated. "We get married, have a bunch of kids. and live happy."
Chase: "You can both avoid each other" said Chase running his hands through her hair. "Next time your mad at me, just think of that"
Gabrielle: Gabrielle nodded. "Consider her avoided." She said with a sniffle. "I will try, I promise." She said looking up at him. "I'm sorry."
Chase: "Can we just go home?" asked Chase to his girlfriend. "Or we could dance and have fun? Whatever you want" the boy added, taking back his original suggestion.
Gabrielle: Gabrielle nodded. “We can do whatever you want to do babe.” She said having no preference.
