Chapter 11 - Chapter 11

While Belle was at Alex's office, Clair came to the station. She never liked these places, but she had no choice. Her boyfriend is the captain of this station. 'Maybe I can make him leave this place and work for daddy, ' Clair thought to herself on the way to the office. When she was about to enter, she saw from the office window the person she hated the most. 'What the hell, that BITCH is doing here? I thought Alex promised me he'll never meet with her!! ' Clair was angry at the promise that Alex broke the promise. She made a u turn and left the station angry, 'I'll make you pay for that Alex, mark my words. You and that bitch will die by my hand for betraying me! ' Clair laughed while she entered her car and left the station with a plan of how to hurt these people.

After an hour of arguing, Belle left Alex's office and the station feeling furious at him. It hurts, but she knows that there is nothing she can do to change Alex's mind only if she starts her plan tomorrow and makes Nic and Gabie to leave early in the morning and to stay at the vacation house.

When she arrived at the police station, she saw Gabie going to the bathroom and went to there also so she could talk to her in private.

"Is there is someone else here beside you, Gabie?" Belle asked while she checked AL the doors to see if someone will ease drop their conversation.

"No Belle, I'm alone, why? Is everything OK?" Gabie asked her friend after she finished checking the bathroom doors.

"Do you have vacation days off?"

"Yes, why? What are up to Belle? You're acting weird today." Gabie looked at her best friend.

"I have an idea for you and Nic to be together without your brother separating you again. I want you to ask from the chief to give you AL the days off you didn't use, so you can go home and pack a bag with your clothes and prepared to leave with Nic at dawn, for his parents vacation house that they have in California near the beach." Belle was telling Gabie her plan to make them be together again.

"You are out of your mind, Belle. Alex will kill us if he finds out about it. Look, I know you want to help us. I appreciate it, but are you sure this plan will even work?" Gabie was happy and confused. She wanted to be with Nic again, but she was afraid her brother will kill them.

"I maybe out of my mind, but that's the only plan that I could come up with to help you guy. Plus, his parents gave you the blessing and the key to their vacation house so you could go. We have no time now, so go to the chief and tell him you need all your days off paid because your aunt is sick or something like this. I don't know. I love you Gabie, and I wish you both the best!" Belle hugged Gabie with tears in her eyes. She didn't want her to see those tears, so she left the bathroom and go to her desk and start her day.

It was six o'clock in the afternoon when Belle clocked herself out of work and drove to Nic's house to tell him the plan. Before leaving, she see Gabie for the last time while getting to her car and knew that the chief gave her the days off she asked for. She knew it was the best for them. Pound arriving at Nic's house, she knocked at the door and waited for him to open it. After a few minutes, she hears the footsteps of her cousin and the door opened.

"What are you doing here, Belle?" Nic asked his cousin, being surprised that she came at this hour to his house

"Well, first you need to start and pack you bags because tomorrow at dawn, you and Gabie are going to leave for your parents vacation house that is near the beach in California and you'll stay there until Alex calmed down and thought it through. So, move it, mister, and get you ass up to the stairs and get packing!" Belle urged her cousin while going up the stairs and help him pack his bags for his vacation with Gabie.

"You're a crazy pumpkin, but I'll always love you for helping us. But did mom and dad actually gave you the keys?" Nic asked while he hugged his cousin.

Belle released herself from Nic's hug and showed him the key that his mom gave her that morning. "They told me to tell you that even though you never told them about your relationship with Gabie, they slit love you and will help you two, plus your mom said that if you'll need something just tell them and they'll help you."

Belle and Nic packed his bags for a few hours, after that they came down with his two bags and left them at the entry of his door, and went to the kitchen to eat and talk. Belle stayed and sleep at her cousin's house so she could drive them to the airport at dawn.

At three am Belle's alarm clock rang. She opened her eyes knowing that she needs to drive Nic and Gabie to the airport because their plane was leaving at six am.

She got up from the bed and went to take a quick shower, put on her clothes, and went to wake her cousin. On the way to his door, she saw a light in his kitchen and went down to see that he was already ready to leave the house. They took his bags and put them at the back of his car. On their way to Gabie's house, Nic sent her a message that they were on the way to pick her up and so she has to wait for them outside so her brother didn't know. A few minutes later, they arrived at her house and Nic helped Gabie to put her bags at the back of his car and was on their way to the airport to begin their new lives.

Alex woke up at six o'clock like always and was on his way to wake his sister up so she could prepare to go to work.

"Wake up Gabie, it's time to get up" Alex knocked on her door but she didn't even answer him.

"Look, I know you're mad at me, but there is nothing I could do. His my best friend, and I don't want to lose any of you if you decided one day to break up. I am only thinking about your heart Gabie, so open the door and let's eat breakfast." Alex waited for her to open the door, but she never opened it.

"I'm coming in Gabie…" Alex opened the door and, for his shock, the room was empty, and her closet was open and empty.

'I can't believe it! She disoblige me and escaped' Alex was angry, so he went to his car and drove to Nic's house to see if she was there. When he arrived there, he saw a note at Nic's door directed at him.

If you see this note Alex, that's means that me and Gabie decide to leave the city and try to be happy away from you. I'm sorry my friend that I broke my promise to you, but I couldn't help it. My heart will always belong to Gabie and I want to be happy with her. Your best friend and brother, Nic.

P.S.: Don't look for us, please. Let us live our lives for now. Will be back before you know it.

Alex couldn't believe his eyes! They just left the city. Alex took the note, got inside his car, and drove to Belle's. When he arrived, he knocked on her door with anger.

"OPEN THIS DAM DOOR, BELLE! I KNOW YOU'RE INSIDE," Alex yells while still knocking on her door. Few seconds later, the door opened by Belle who was a half a sleep.

"Why are you yelling at this hour, Alex? Did you lose your mind or what?" Alex, who got inside her house and looked at her, pushed aside her. He noticed she was still in her pajamas, short pants and thin top. She looked so sexy, but he couldn't think about it right now. He was sure that it was her plan for keeping his sister and her cousin together.

"Why did you do it, Belle?" He asked her.

"Did what Alex? You are the one that knocked on my door this early in the morning." It confused Belle when she looked at Alex. He showed her the note that Nic left for him at his door. Belle took the note and read it.

"You think I had something to do with that, am I right?" She asked him, even though she was the culprit.

"I know it was you Belle, Gabie will never had thought to do it even if she hated me, and Nic was all day at the station working so he had no time to plan something like that. So tell me, Belle, why?" Alex didn't want to be angry at her. He had no choice. His sister went to and so is her cousin.

"You want to know why? I'll tell you why! I couldn't see my best friend and my cousin that is like a brother to me be so miserable because of you. Yes, I know he broke his promise to you, but what can a bitting heart for another person do? Tell me Alex. For the past months, my cousin almost didn't eat nothing, I had to go to his house to feed him or I would have lost him because of you, and the poor Gabie was like a zombie at work. Do you like to see your own flesh and blood work like a zombie? Answer me, Alex, DO YOU?" Belle was crying while telling Alex her reasons for helping them to escape. Alex wanted to hug Belle when he saw her crying because of him. He couldn't answer her. She was right. It is his fault, after all. Alex turned around and left her house and went back to his to think about what to do now.
