Horror Movie
Gabby's POV
I was very excited. My boyfriend Ulric and I were gonna have a movie night like we do every week. I loved spending personal time with the wolf of my dreams. He was so sweet and kind. I loved every part of him. Anyway, like I said it was movie night, and it was his turn to pick a movie.
I went downstairs to meet Ulric on the couch. "There you are, took you long?" Ulric whined. "Sorry, I wanted to find my comfy pajamas." I said. It was dark, all the lights were off, making the TV brighter than usual. "Why is it so dark in here?" I asked. Ulric smirked. "Well it helps put the movie in better setting." he said. "Uh, what movie are we watching?" I asked. "Only my favorite horror movie, Jeepers Creepers." Ulric said.
My eyes widened. Oh god.....Jeepers Creepers. I heard that was a very scary movie. At least that's what my twin sister Alex said. I hated horror movies so much! They made me paranoid and gave me nightmares. But....I knew how much Ulric liked, no, loved horror movies. I even remember a while back I told him I liked horror movies just to make him happy. But....now were actually gonna watch one.
I couldn't help but shake a little. Ulric noticed this and looked at me concerned. "Hey, you alright?" he asked. "Oh uh yeah, i-its j-just cold in h-here." I said. I sat down next to him on the couch. Why do we have to watch this in the dark? "I remember you old me a while back that you loved horror movies, so I thought I'd share my favorite one with you." he said. I looked away. Well I can't back down now, not after he actually put some thought into this.
I decided to suck it up and put on a smile. "Sounds great!" I said. I cuddled close to him while he started up the movie. Dude even the menu screen was scary with that creepy music. I watched intensely, clinging onto Ulric. Soon a really scary car chase begin and I whimpered a little. The movie progressed further, the main character found a body bag, revealing the person to still be alive. He pulled the bag down farther open, to see the person's severely damaged body.
My eyes widened and I covered my mouth to hold a scream. Ulric's smile only got bigger as he enjoyed the show. Then it showed all the dead people on the walls, stitched together. I looked away, trembling nonstop. Then I snapped out of it and looked back at the screen. It was somewhat mild for a little while, until two cops were killed by the main creature. I watched in horror as the creature actually kissed it's victim's head, then rip the tongue out and eat it.
I couldn't take it. Tears of fright filled my eyes and I ran out of the room. Ulric watched me shocked. "Gabby wait!" he said. I ignored him and ran to my room.
Ulric's POV
I was really confused and worried. What happened? Did she get mad or something? Was it me? Either way I ran upstairs and went into her room. "Gabby, where are you? Why did you run off?" I asked. I heard whimpering and sobbing from our closet. I went over to it and opened the door. My eyes widened. Gabby was huddled close in a corner, crying. "Gabby?" I said.
Gabby pushed me out of the closet and closed the door, locking it. "Gabby wait, baby what's wrong?" I asked. "I-I can't say, y-you'll get mad." Gabby whimpered. I shook my head. "No, I won't get mad. Just tell me what's wrong." I said. "No...." Gabby said weakly. I frowned and sat outside the door. "I'm not leaving until you tell me what's wrong." I stated. There was a moment of silence.
Then Gabby spoke up. "U-Ulric....I-I'm sorry....but the truth is....I really hate horror movies." she whimpered. My eyes widened. "What? Then why didn't you tell me?" I asked. "Because, I knew how much you liked them, so I went along with it." Gabby said. She sobbed a little. "Besides, you put so much thought in tonight's movie." she said weakly.
I frowned. I felt bad. She did all that for me. "Gabby...." I said. "But that movie.....Ulric it was just too scary." Gabby said weakly. She started to cry harder. "Oh Gabby...." I said. I tried to open the door but it was still locked. "Gabby, I'm not mad." I said. I smiled. "Gabby, you don't have to lie about something you don't like. If you don't like something, then that's that." I stated.
I sighed. "So if horror movies are too scary for you, then that's fine. We don't have to watch them." I said. Gabby was silent for a moment. I spoke up. "Gabby, please open the door." I said. Gabby unlocked the door and opened it. She looked at me with sad eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks. I smiled and opened my arms. "Come here." I said. Gabby ran into my arms and cried against my chest.
I embraced her tightly and hushed her. "Shh, sweetheart its okay." I said softly. Gabby cried and sobbed softly. "I'm sorry Ulric, I ruined tonight." she sobbed. "Gabby no, you didn't ruin anything." I said. I thought about this. I didn't want to end the night like this. Then an idea hit me. I pulled back and wiped her tears away. "Wait right here." I said. I went downstairs, changed the movie with another one, then went back upstairs.
Gabby gave me a guilty look. I smiled warmly at her and took her hands in mine. "Follow me." I said. I led her downstairs and into the living room, where on the TV showed the menu screen to Despicable Me. Gabby smiled. "I remember this, this was the movie we saw in theaters on our first date." Gabby said. I kissed the top of her head.
"Don't be afraid to tell me something you feel uncomfortable doing. No matter what I'll always love you." I stated. Gabby nodded and wiped her teary eyes dry. "That a girl." I said. We sat on the couch and watched our movie.
