The Figure

✮Why? Why Him?!✮

Gabe Nielson was just a normal boy; he had black curly hair with green eyes and freckles all over. He was pretty scrawny, he is very successful, he goes to college, has a boyfriend who he has been with since the 7th grade. You could say they were in love, or so Gabe thought. He looked at the time on his phone while walking out of his job, it read '10:20 pm', he sighed as he switched to call, he clicked on a contact that read 'Future Husband ', he heard the ringing between lines, he waited for a bit before it went to voicemail, Gabe figured he was asleep already. He decided to head over to his boyfriend's house like he always does. He walked to his car, it was a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder, in a rusted coat of greyish blueish. He has had this car since high school, he has been wanting to get a new car but all his money is going to student loans, he was currently looking for another job but it was hard to find a job that would allow him to work half time.

After 15 minutes he had finally reached his boyfriend's house, he noticed another car in Gabe's parking spot, he tried to not think of the worse, he parked his car on the side of the road before turning it off and getting out. He walked to the front door and grabbed the hidden key from under the rock, he looked at the doorknob as he put his hand on it and turned, that's odd it's never unlocked, Gabe thought before placing the key back under the rock. He pushed the door open, he looked down at the floor mat as a pair of shoes were laying on the ground, he recognized them, it was his best friend's shoes. Gabe gulped heavily as he looked up the stairs, he walked to the stairs and slowly walked up to them, every time he went closer to the floor, his heart sank deeper. He reached the floor as he looked at his boyfriend's door, the light was on and a faint squeaking sound was coming from the room.

Gabe heard soft low moans as he walked to the door quietly, he turned the knob and pushed it open. What he saw made tears stream down his cheeks "8 years?! And you cheat on me with.. W...with him?!" he yelled as he pulled a small ring box out of his pocket and chucked it at the two on the bed who was now scrambling to cover themselves. "G-Gabe... It's not what it looks like.." his boyfriend Zane stuttered out, even though it was clear what was happening. Gabe scoffed as he walked out the door and down to the front door. There was rustling in the room, then there were footsteps going down the stairs, his best friend Andrew went to reach for Gabe's hand but it got swatted away "w..we are... Over.." Gabe said before walking out of the house and slamming the door shut.

Zane and Andrew look at each other with pain in their eyes, they felt really bad for what they did but there was no turning back and changing what happened. Gabe got into his car and started it, not even worrying about his seat belt, he drove off angry, sad, and hurt, he didn't even realize how fast he was going but he was going 90 in a 50 zone, a cop car pulled out behind him making his lights go on and the siren, Gabe didn't hear it as he sped up more, he saw a blur CRASH everything went black, he had crashed into a guard rail as his car had tumbled down the hill, he heard distance sirens before he had passed out.
