3/4 of my heart

"Bella! BELLA!" Gabrielle threw a pillow at my face.

"WHAT!?" I peered from my book.

" C'mon get ready!" She wore a red dress, up to her knees, her wavy hair let down.

"Ugh." I groaned closing my book.

I looked for the dress Gabrielle bought me and put it on.
It was royal blue and went below my knees.

"Ya like? " Gabrielle said as she saw me in it.

"Ehhh...." I joked.

"Just kidding. I love it." I hugged her.
I put make-up on, put my stupid heels on, and we headed for dinner in the Olive garden.

"Who is the only girl in the world who decides to go out to the olive garden in short dresses in freezing temperature?" I asked Gabrielle in the cab.

"Gabrielle Amber Taylor does." I shook my head.
I smiled brightly.

"We're here!" Gabrielle squealed.
She payed the over-priced cab ride and we ran inside the warm restaurant.

" Reservation under Gabbie. For two, please." Gabrielle politely said.
I giggled.

The dude-in-a-fancy-tux led us to our table, who was centered with a small candle.

"Ohh, Fancy." I said.
It reminded me of my double date. Good times, good times.

"Ohhh, sounds yummy." I said, peering into the menu.

I ordered some lasagaña-type thingy.

"Wait! Bella, you have to say what your thankful for first." Gabrielle said just before I dug into my food.

"Fine. I'm thankful for living another day of my awesome life and spending time with my best friend and... and... food. I'm thankful having talent, I'm thankful for money (xD) food, my soft bed.... did I mention food?" I joked.

"To shorten my thanksgiving, I'm thankful for everything." Gabrielle smile.

"I could of just said that..." I said under my breath.

I finished my plate long before Gabrielle.

"I don't think I can have dessert..." Gabrielle said putting her hand over her belly.

"Me either..." I followed her.

"Excuse me can we have the bill?" Gabrielle asked a passing waitress.

"Here ya go." The waitress gave us the bill after a while.

Gabrielle placed a 20$ on the table and we headed off to the cold outside streets.

I waved my hands at a taxi that appeared in front of us in matter of seconds.
We headed off to my apartment.

"Home sweet home." I said, throwing my self into my sofa.

"Ugh" I groaned.

My phone did that sound again.
You know that sound.
Yes, the sound that goes off when you get a text.

"Hey, it's Rodger." Gabrielle said looking into my phone.

"RODGER?!" I fell off the couch.

"Gimme gimme gimme" I said grabbing the phone from Gabrielle.

"He says to look outside my window?" I laughed.

"Bella..." Gabrielle said looking out the window.

"WHAT?" I ran to the window.

There stood Rodger.

"UGH!" I groaned running out of the apartment.
I ran down six flights of stairs with Gabrielle following behind me.

"Rodger Micheal Lucas, What in the WORLD are you doing outside my building?" I asked him as if he was crazy, which he was.

"To see you." He answered.

I rolled my eyes.

"Because I love you." He repeated to me.

"Rodger, do you understand what BREAK-UP means?" I asked him.

He stayed quiet.

"I'm sorry." I paused.

"Let's just take a break okay?" I said quietly.

He stood in silence.

"A break... fine." He finally said.
I smiled.

He awkwardly raised his hand.
I shook his hand.

"Who am I kidding?" I let go of his hand and hugged him.

"Go home" I told him.

He smiled.

"Just a break, Rod." I heard him whisper to himself.

I peered at Gabrielle who was waiting at the lobby.

I stepped inside.

"What'd he want?" She asked.

"Nothing. Just saying hi." I told her, pressing the elevator button.

"Mmmhmm."

I changed into my jammies and pulled out the air bed.

"Night." I told Gabrielle as I covered myself in a blanket.
"Good night, sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite." Gabrielle joked.
"Happy thanksgiving, I can come spend Christmas with you. Or you with me. I dunno--" She stopped.
" Bella, I'll really miss you. You're the greatest person I know. My best friend. My sister. My conscious. 3/4 of my heart. I'll really miss you." She said.

Tears went down my cheeks.
