in Gabriella's car
" seems you guys had a thing going on" Dan said
"I had a thing for him, I guess he never had for me"
" you should've at least listened to him"
"I was paranoid. I'm a paranoid beast when I'm mad"
" Yeah , also ready to ruin one's earlobe and drum"
" Yes.. also take out the ear so you can't use 'em again"
" whoa! paranoid beast"
" you do know we're on a car right?, so if anything happens to you, no one'll know"
" what's the use of autopsy then?" Dan asked raising a n eyebrow
" why are you so annoying?"
" I'm not"
" just shut up!"
" why should I, after you destroyed my ears?"
" I said I was sorry" she said in a sober tone as Dan just looked at her admiringly
" just so you know, I don't like you"
" I never asked you to"
" are we there already?" Dan asked sarcastically
" Yes, welcome to blue skye hospital"
" excuse me?"
" my moms hospital, blue skye hospital "
" say what again?" Dan asked surprised
" come on, this is a hospital not a bar or club. Keep your voice down" Gabriella said walking in. she saw her mom coming out of one the wards and ran to hug her
" what brings you here today, another paranoid problem?" her mom asked
"no" she mumbled
" Yes ma'am . she pinched my ears now I can't hear well anymore"
" please enter the office, I'll be there soon" Gabriella's mom said
On their way home, Gabriella saw Derek with Maya at the park laughing and gusting happily. She had no idea she was staring too much at them until Dan called her
" you should've listened to him"
" and he says it's not a date" she said about to cry
" not everyone's the same when it comes to love ,Gab"
" to hell with love" she said , tears falling.
" Hey let's go buy ice cream " Dan says trying to lift her mood
" ice cream?" she asked suddenly happy again as she pulled him o the ice cream truck
" oh a couple" the ice cream man said
" no were not a ..." Gabriella started but was interrupted
" Yes, we've been dating for the past 3 months now" Dan says pecking her cheeks
" I would like to have chocolate icecream " Gabriella said
" do you have blueberry ice cream?" Dan asked
" so are you guys just friends or a couple?" the ice cream man asked
" friends" " couples" they both said at the same time
" were a couple, and I love my girlfriend so much" Dan says causing Gabriella to smash the phone she was holding
" I'll be in the car" she says with gritted teeth and walks away while Dan just follows behind
15 minutes later, Dan and Gabriella are in the car, with Gabriella driving speedily because she was 3 minutes past curfew . By the time she reached home, Dan was breathing heavily.
" finally home" she says
" next time, before you make a u turn make sure to inform me on time" he said holding his chest
" got it. you okay?"
" no my heart is on fire" he says heaving
" I just pray she's not home yet" Gabriella said coming down. The minute she came down...
" miss Gabriella Ruby Gemmy Blue, why are you late?" her mom asked in a scolding tone
" mom, I can explain"
" no its not her fault. I stopped at a lake so I could cool off, she warned me but I didn't listen. I'm really sorry" Dan knelt down and begged
"I'm not mad your home now, I'm just mad you guys didn't call to say you were fine. I was worried"
" I'm sorry mom, it would never happen again" Gab said silently thanking Dan
