"Edison, no, please, let me explain-" Gillian was standing now, in front of my door, blocking my way in.
"No need. You'll somehow run into this guy, but you won't make time for me. I know," I said. Jay gave Gillian a quick glance and nodded.
"It was your fault you know! You should have reminded me!"
"Reminded you, Gillian? I thought that MAYBE you love me. MAYBE I wouldn't have to treat you like the baby you like to be treated as. That MAYBE I would be on the top of your list instead of the bottom for once. You have money to blow, that's great, but I don't. I hoped that MAYBE you would remember, and when I picked you up, you'd be happy to go. JUST MAYBE, Gillian, you can be more responsible," I reprimanded her. Gillian looked back over to Jay, who was looking at the floor and shaking his head.
"Why can't you be more understanding?"
"I thought I had been very understanding. Now, if you'll please move, my food is going bad in this heat," I said. Gillian slid out of my doorway, and I went in, slamming the door behind me. I know that I was just very harsh to Gillian, but gosh, after all that I wasted, she could have at least had the brain capacity to remember!
I looked at myself in the mirror. I looked drainaed, and my pants were falling off without a belt. That whole date that was planned had cost me over one thousand dollars. I haven't eaten a proper meal in at least four months. If Gillian and I have been going out for six... then wow. I'm so disappointed, not in Gillian, but in myself. I wasted so much money! Money is what makes the world go round, no matter how much they say that it's love. Or maybe, money just makes life easier. I don't depend on my father anymore, as Gillian still depends on her parents. I pay for all my college expenses, and I pay for food, everything!
"Edison Chen! Get your ass out here right now!" Erina's voice. I sighed, and swung open the door. Erina was standing in front of me, fuming, and Kenny was standing behind her, his hand around her waist, holding her back.
"What now?" I asked. Kenny looked at me with sorrow, knowing that Erina's wrath is worse than anyone elses. Erina tried stalking forward, but Kenny had quite a grip on her.
"EDISON CHEN!" she said harshly. "That poor girl comes back to the room, crying her poor eyes out! And you're here, feeling sorry for yourself? God damnit! Go comfort her, tell her that it's okay. Lie and say it wasn't that much money. Make up with her, and I swear, I'll bring you food for a month! Please, just make her stop crying!"
"Ed, you better do it," Kenny said. I looked from Erina to Kenny, sighing.
"Fine. Let's go," I said, grabbing my jacket and followed Erina to her dorm. As we entered the hallway, I could hear Gillian's sniffles. As always, my heart went out to her.
"He hates me!!" Gillian cried out, very upset at her situation. "He's going to break up with me, and he's never going to talk to me again!"
"Now, who said that?" I asked, leaning on the door frame.
"Well, you hate me, don't you?" she was sniffling, something that always broke my heart.
"No, who ever said that?"
"YOU!"
"I never said that. I could never hate you. Plus, it wasn't thaat much money. Don't worry baby, it's nothing that's worth more than you," I told her. Gillian stopped her crying and gave me a smile. I moved over to her bed, and sat down right next to her. "Gillian, darling, don't worry. I was just a little upset to find you with Jay in front of my door. I know you weren't doing anything, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to get jealous. So, baby, don't fret." I leaned over and kissed her lips lightly. "I'm sorry."
"No, no, it's not you who should be apologizing. I really wasn't a very good girlfriend by forgetting about our date. Erina told me what you had planned, so..."
"Plus, Gillian, you should know by now that I can't ever stay mad at you!" I grabbed her shoulders and pulled her to me, smiling big. She began to laugh a little, and wrapped her arms around me.
Making Gillian happy is somehow really easy for me. I mean, she was crying two minutes ago, and now she's laughing and smiling. "Edison, I'm so sorry," she said.
"Stop apologizing, Gill. Come on, I'll make it up to you. Let's go out for some dinner, I'm starving, how about you?"
"But it's late."
"I don't care. We can go somewhere that's open all the time. We ARE in New York. Can't be too hard to find something."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, no problem."
"So am I forgiven?" Gillian asked.
"Of course baby," I said and kissed her forhead. Now where shall we go for our late date?

"Oh gosh, that was so much fun!" Gillian said, grasping onto my arm. "We should do late dates more often!" Gillian giggled a little bit. I looked at her and smiled. I wish she was happy like this all the time. Maybe she'd be like this more often with someone else?
"Gillian, do you love me?" I asked.
"Of course I do, what a silly question!" she giggled. Gosh, Gillian seems as if she were drunk.
"Gillian, were you drinking tonight?"
"Of course not!"
"You seem like it."
"Edison, you think too much," Gillian said and got on her tiptoes to kiss me. "I love you sooo much, even if I didn't realize it then, I know that you've always been in my view. You've always been there for me. And so, now, I'm so afraid of losing you. I don't want you to leave. Please, we're not going to break up right? Even though I may be a bit of a ditz, that doesn't mean much. I can help you with whatever you need. Money, love, whatever. Just stay in my view."

Okay, there's the ending. I'll have an epilogue (maybe) and a thank you tomorrow, and I think the ending was realllly bad, so, sorry about that. Make sure to check out all the new stories that I've got:
