3 Months later
For the past this months, Belle couldn't see Gabie because they forbid her at work to go near her or talk to her. Gabie was depressed because she can't see Nic or Belle and all is her brother's fault, why is he so against their relationship when he is supposed to be happy that she is dating his best friend, the one person who he knows like the palm of his hand and no some stranger that he needs to know from the start.
A few hours later Gabie noticed they left only her and Belle in the station, so she approached her.
"Hi Belle, I've missed you so much!" Gabie was hugging her with small tears running down her face.
"Oh Gabie, don't cry. I've missed you too and so is Nic." Belle hugged her friend and comforted her when she saw she was crying. Gabie's phone rang. When she saw who was the ID caller, she had no other choice but to answer it,
'What now Alex? I'm coming home.'
'You better really do it or else I'll lock you myself!'
'I hate you so much, Alexander!' Gabie hang up on her brother, looked at Belle for the last time and left the station to go home.
Belle watched her bests friend leave the station and she couldn't believe that Alex was actually doing it to his sister. I have to do something for them, thought Belle to herself. If this continues like that, I don't want to think what will happen to them while being separated for this long`. Belle collected her stuff and went to get in to her car. On the way to her house, she stopped at the grocery shop to buy some food for herself and Nic because she knows that her cousin probably ate nothing at his station from being depressed. After paying for her grocery, she got to her car and drove to Nic's house.
After a while she arrived at Nic's house and saw that there was a light in side. She got out of the car and used the key she had from his house and went inside. When she got in side, she saw her cousin on the floor looking at his phone while crying and hugging his phone with his and Gabie's picture together. Belle put the grocery bag at the counter and went to hug her cousin.
"Don't cry Nic, I can't see you guys like that it just break my heart." Belle cried too, while hugging her cousin.
"I'm sorry, Belle, but I miss her so much. Why is Alex doing it to us? He knows I will never hurt her, he supposed to be my best friend, not my enemy, right?" Nic hugged his Belle while talking to her. Few moments later, Belle helped her cousin to get up from the floor and sat him down at the counter.
"Sit here and don't move OK? I'm going to peeper you dinner and I don't want to hear a negative answer from you, GOT it?" Belle pointed at Nic who nodded. Half an hour later, dinner was ready, and she served him to he could eat and gain some strength for what she planned for Nic and Gabie. She knows it is a big risk but if Alex can't see what he has done to his sister and best friend, then she is going to make him suffer by losing his sister even though she is going to lose her cousin and best friend but it is for the best.
Few hours later, she left her cousin's house knowing that he was sleeping and went to her own house. When she arrived, she was already tired, so she knew she needs to plan their escaping plan so they could be happy and make Alex suffer for separating them. 'Maybe I'll talk to aunt Julia, because I know she has a vacation house in California near the sea that they can use for as long as they want' She thought to herself and decided that it was the best thing that she could do for them.
On the next morning, Belle woke up, took a long shower and visited her aunt Julia first. When she arrived, she knocked on her aunt's door and waited for it to open. When the door opened, her uncle was at the entrance.
"Good morning sweetie, what are you doing here? I thought you went to work already," David moved to the side to let Belle in side.
"Good morning uncle David, I told the chief that I had some business to do and then I'll come to work. Is aunt Julia home?" Belle gave her uncle a kiss on the cheek and went in side.
"Julia, Belle just came, and she is looking for you." David called his wife from the living room. Julia was in the kitchen preparing breakfast when her husband called her from the living room. She closed the stove and went to see Belle.
"Good morning sweetie, is everything OK?" Julia was worried because Belle almost never come to their house just like that.
"Good morning aunt Julia, yes everything is fine with me but I don't know what to do with Nic, so I need your help with my plan." Belle hugged her aunt and sat down with them and told them what happened three months ago between Nic, Alex and Gabie.
"I can't believe that child didn't even tell us about this. But what I can't believe is that Alex actually separated them when he knows what kind of person is my son." Julia and David were in shock from this news that Belle told them.
"So you came here just to tell us this?" David asked his niece.
"No uncle David, I came to ask for permission to use your vacation house that you have in California. The one you used to go on your anniversary, Alex doesn't know about it. I want for Nic and Gabie escape to there for a while to calm this storm that is going on now between them three." Belle told her uncle and aunt about her plan for her cousin and her best friend because she knows that is the best solution for now. Julia and David looked at each other and nodded in agreement, and looked at Belle.
"You're right dear. I just hope this whole thing will not explode on you." Julia was worried about her niece. She knew about her feelings for Alex and she didn't want her to be hurt.
"Don't worry about me aunt Julia, Alex already hates me because I kept their secret from him too. Nothing can't hurt me anymore." Belle assured them.
Julia and David arranged everything and gave Belle the key to their house, hugged her and escort her to the entry of the door.
"Please take of yourself my love, we don't want you to get hurt in the process and tell Nic and Gabie that we love them, plus let them know that if they need anything so they call us and will cue and help them there." Julia and David hugged Belle while saying goodbye to each other.
"Don't you worry, I'll let them know." Belle left their house and went to the last place that she promised that she'll never put a foot in, the fire station.
After an hour of drive from her uncle and aunt's house to the Engine 226, she got out of her car and went to Alex's office. On the way to the office, she met Engineer Matthew York.
"Good morning York. Is your captain in the office?"
"Good morning Officer Moyer. If the captain founds out that you're here, he'll kick you out again." York was worried about Belle.
"Don't worry, today is the last time he'll see this face in his life." Belle assured him and went to his office.
Without knocking, she entered his office and went straight to his desk
"What the hell are you doing here, Belle? Get out of my office and station right now!" Alex yelled when he saw Belle was standing in front of his desk.
"You don't have to yell at me, Alex! Today will be the last time you'll see me in your life. I came because I can't stand the way you treat your own sister and my cousin just because they are in love with each other! What got in to you when you did this? I thought you were my cousin's best friend, not his enemy, but I guess you never were his friend from the beginning, right?" Belle looked into Alex's eyes with so much anger that she was tired already.
"I am his friend! But he knew the only rule that we agreed on, and that is never to date the sister of your best friend. He broke this rule. What do you want me to do, Belle?" Alex looked at her eyes and knew that it disappointed her with him, but he couldn't do anything about it.
