after school to get things cleared but before then he's mother Mrs Liliana Morris had requested to meet with Gabriella. Gabriel got to Gabby's house and knocked, Gabby who just got to the house after school opened the door still in her uniform opened the door and saw Gabe standing in front of her house so she quickly shut the door and walked to a corner beside her house with him so they could talk
"What are you doing here"? Gabriella asked nervously
"Is it true"? Gabriel asked
"What are you talking about"? Gabby asked looking at him nervously
"Are you seeing Jason"? Gabe asked looking into her eyes
"Wait, what do you mean"? Gabby asked a bit taken aback
"Do you really hate me that much now that you have to see someone within a short period of time"? Gabriel asked
"I don't understand what you are talking about"! Gabby said looking confused
"Don't act like you probably know nothing about what's been going on between you and Jason"? Gabe said with anger rising in his voice
"How could you probably think I'm seeing Jason, Gabriel? what do you take me for a whore"? Gabriella asked as angered welled up in her, she didn't understand what Gabriel was talking about and he didn't seem to explain better to her
"I thought you were only punishing me because of my sister's actions towards you but I can't believe you would really move on just like that, with all the memories we've shared together, how could you"? he asked angrily while Gabby gave him a dirty slap in the next second as she could not contend with his attitude any longer. Meanwhile on the other side was Jason and Marcus who were actually coming to sort things out with Gabriella
"This is not good man" Marcus said to Jason
"I know" Jason said looking at the duel fighting
"You gotta fix this" Marcus said
"You're loosing it Marcus how would I possibly go there with Gabe standing with Gabriella in this situation"? Jason asked pointing at their direction
"I'm only trying to help" Marcus defended
"She would understand when she finds out whom I truly is" Jason said
"Hope so" Marcus added
"It's been a while since I saw her take me over there" Jason requested and Marcus who understood what he meant drove off.
"How could you say something so disgusting"? Gabriella asked
"You know what? you're the one who's being disgusting now, putting up a pretence was totally out of it Gabriella I expected better" Gabriel said and tears rolled down Gabby's face
"Get out"! she yelled at him
"I couldn't accept you calling off our relationship but it's actually over right now. It's over between us Gabby and I never ever want to see you again nor cross paths with someone as disgusting as you.And that is an invitation from my mom" Gabe said thrusted a well designed invitation card into her hand and left while Gabby cried bitterly like a baby, she didn't understand what had just happened, she had hoped Gabriel had come to fix things between but was shocked and short of words when he officially called off their relationship.

Jason got into the coffee shop and met Mrs Martins working seriously with some customers in there she's attending to
"Good day Mrs Martins"! he greeted smiling broadly with a wave of his hand
"Good day son, how have you been"? she asked smiling at Jason
"I've been great and you"? he asked looking at her
"Same as always son" she said with a broad smile
"I would like two iced caramel latte with almond milk" he ordered
"alright give me a minute and I will get it ready for you son"! she said with a smile on her face and quickly started preparing it while Jason and Marcus walked to a vacant seat
"Why does she keeps calling you son? does she know already"? Marcus asked looking surprised
"You would be the first to know if eventually I told her, you fool"! Jason teased
"I was surprised she calls you son" he said
"She said she once had a son that bears same name as mine but unfortunately she lost that precious son" Jason said gloomily
"You sh..." Marcus pause mid sentence as a loud thump was heard from the canteen where Gabriella's Mom was standing earlier
"Mom"!! Jason screamed as he looked in the direction and didn't see her anymore,he went there and saw her lying on the floor barely breathing "No! no! Mom wake up"! he said but time was against them
"Get the car"! he ordered Marcus and picked her up in his arms and walked into the car and drove off in a high speed. Back in the house Gabriella was grieving due to the pain in her heart when her cell phone rang and everything was narrated to her.
"What"?! "Mom"?!! she said as hot tears fell from her eyes and she quickly got dressed and rushed out of the house as fast as she could.
*GREENEVILLE HOSPITAL*
Gabby rushed in like someone that has lost her mind and quickly made enquires about her mom
"She's in the V.I.P ward not to worry your brother is taking very good care of her" the receptionist said with a smile on her face
"What"? "Brother"? She thought as she ran towards the ward
"Thank goodness you are here, I tried calling you but you wouldn't take my calls if the receptionist never called you wouldn't be here by now you fool"Jason cursed
"I'm sorry but can I see my mom now? which ward is she exactly"? Gabby asked
"Mom is in that ward over there, the doctors has attended to her so it's possible you could see her now" he said pointing towards the ward's entrance and Gabby walked in quickly, Not quite long Mr Martins walked in looking worried
"Where is my wife"? he asked Jason
"She's in there" he said and pointed at the ward
"I was told my son brought her here,by any chance could it be you"? Mr Martins asked turning towards Jason who froze in a second
"Ugh... yeah I brought her here" Jason replied nervously
"Thank you son" he said and walked into the ward. Few minutes later Gabriella stepped out of the ward to thank Jason
"Hey"! Jason said as soon as he saw her
"Hey"! she replied in a calm voice
"How is she doing"? Jason asked
"She's better; thanks a lot"! Gabby said with a faint smile on her face
"It's nothing"! Jason replied
"I'm sorry for all the troubles as well and I promise to pay you back some other time" she said biting her lower lip
"Are you sure"? Jason asked and Gabby nodded "anyways I was happy to help" he added putting his hand into his pocket "Is everything okay? you look pale"? Jason asked
"Yeah, I'm good" Gabby replied
"Did you two get into a fight"? Jason asked
"What"? Gabby asked
"I'm sorry you both had a fight earlier because of me I shouldn't have said something like that to him despite knowing your true feelings, I was gonna apologize and then I saw him with you and decided to say hello to your mom, then return later but unfortunately we're here, I'm sorry! please don't take it personal" Jason apologized in a low tone
"You did nothing wrong" Gabby said looking downcast
"What do you mean I did nothing wrong? telling Gabriel we're seeing each other was totally out of it" Jason said
"Did he really believe that"? Gabby muttered to herself
"I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that I promise to make it up to you" Jason said holding her hands
"It's fine" Gabby said shaking her head and just at that very moment the emergency alarm in Mrs Martins ward rang and the doctors and nurses ran in with a rush and administered some treatment on her to stop her convulsing.
"Let's talk in my office Mr Smith" the doctor said and they both walked into his office
"Doctor is everything okay with my wife"? Martins asked nervously as soon as he got into the doctors office
"She was almost okay but her sudden convulsion is caused by a brain stress which could lead to brain tumoil if not taken care of and she would be needing blood due to malnutrition and a blood test would be done on you and your children to know which actually matches with hers" The doctor explained calmly
"I'm just here with my daughter so please test the both of us to know which matches I don't want anything to happen to my wife please" Martins said in a tearful voice.
"What about the young guy who brought her in"? The doctor asked
"He's a good guy who probably helped my wife" Martins said
"I see,let the test begin then" the doctor said. In few minutes time the test was done after which the results were released "Mr Martins I'm sad to announce this to you but none of you matches with hers so we are going to be needing a donor cause we apparently don't have her match here as well" The doctor said but Mr Martins was devastated by this, he stepped out of the doctors office looking pale and unhappy
"What's wrong dad? What did the doctor say"? Gabriella asked as soon as Martins stepped out of the doctor's office
"We would be needing a donor and as you know it costs a lot" he said sadly
"What!!. I mean where are we going to get that kind of money to get a donor"? Gabriella asked almost in tears
"I will donate mine, just ask the doctor to see if mine matches her's" Jason said quickly, he didn't care if they were going to find out his real identity but he wasn't going to sit back and watch his biological mom die
"You will"? Gabby asked looking at him in surprise
"Yeah; I can't just sit and watch your mom die" he stammered with tears welling up in his eyes
"Doctor! Doctor"?! Gabby called, not minding what Jason just said "He's volunteering" Gabby said in a happy voice and the test began not quite long they were done and the result came out
"They're a match"!! the doctor announced and everyone beamed with smile, Gabby was extremely happy. A while after the donation was done Jason left
"I will come by some other time but before then do take good care of mom and yourself too" Jason said Patting her shoulder
"Wait a minute, why do you keep calling her mom when she's not even related to you"? Gabriella asked
"What else would I have called her when she's like a mother to me you definitely won't know cause your always with your boyfriend and never comes to her coffee shop" Jason blotted out
"What"? Gabby asked and sighed in pain which was surged out by Jason's words
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to" Jason apologized but it was too late
"See you some other time" Gabby said and walked back into the ward
"What have I said wrong when she seldom comes by the coffee shop" Jason muttered to himself.
***********
Gabriel got home and locked himself up in his room and wouldn't talk to anyone not even his mom who brought him dinner in his room. He continued acting this way for days until Chris visited but he wouldn't come out of his room rather he took Chris into his room and locked the door.
"What has gotten into you Gabriel"? Chris asked
"Are you here to yell at me"? he asked Chris
"How long will you continue to live like this
"Do you even know how I feel right now Chris? Do you have the slightest idea on how miserable my life feels without Gabby,huh"? he asked in a sad voice
"I know but you can't keep living like this, besides if you miss her so much you should go to her and get her back" Chris said in a concerned tone
"It's too late, I did something I shouldn't have" Gabe said
"What do you mean something you shouldn't have"? Chris asked glaring at him
"I... I called off the friendship" he stammered
"What"? Chris asked stunned
"She pretended she didn't know what I was talking about when I asked her if she was in a relationship with Jason which left me no choice but to call it off" Gabe said in a low tone
"How could you do something like that? What if she was right and she was never in a relationship with Jason, what would be your reactions then"? Chris asked in anger
"She would have tried to stop me when I ended the relationship but no,she just watch me leave without saying a word" Gab defended himself
"You are just slow witted Gabe couldn't you feel her pain when calling off your relationship that day in front of the instructors and Ray's student" Chris said angrily
"You are my best friend Chris don't take her side on this after all she started all of it first" Gab sulked
"I'm not siding anyone this time and by the way you look so malnourished, have you not been eating well"? Chris asked
"Of course I have" Gab pretended but his tummy growled just at that time
"Love" Chris teased
"Love? what do you mean"? Gab asked looking at him nervously
"Nothing,I was just looking at the photo on your phone's lock screen" Chris said swinging the phone in the air
"You... hand that over" he yelled chasing after Chris who kept running around the room. Meanwhile Gabe's mom eavesdropped on them
"Gabriella is it not"? she asked the maid who was going to serve Gabe dinner and she nodded while Madame as she was being addressed left the door and walked to the sitting room where the guards were standing
"Get me the girl as soon as possible" she ordered the guards
"Yes madame" they answered and left
*GREENEVILLE HOSPITAL*
Back in the hospital Mrs Martins just got discharged and Jason was with them
"You are back on your feet now Mrs Racheal and you're finally discharged" the doctor said
"It's all thanks to you doctor" she said beaming with smile
"It's all thanks to your son" he replied
"We will take our leave now doctor" Mr Martins said
"Of course but that reminds me before you leave I have something important to show you" the doctor said and brought out a file and handed it over to Mr Martins
"What is this"? Martins asked the doctor
"You definitely won't understand since you're not a doctor but I will explain" he said and paused "you see I was curious when you said that Jason was just a good guy who helped your wife so I secretly ran a DNA test with his blood b..."
" you did what"? Jason who has been silent all this while asked looking at the doctor with a shocked expression on his face
"The result turned out that he is your son"! he announced
"What"? Everyone except Jason chorused looking at each other
"My... My son"? Racheal asked as tears welled up in her eyes
"My son was long lost James, how could you suddenly bring him up" Martins said in a sober tone
"I'm aware of that and judging by the way he's been acting, starting from how he brought her to this hospital where there are a better hospital than GREENEVILLE for a rich guy like him seemed suspicious so I ran the test to clear my curiosity" James which was the name of the doctor said
"How is..."
"He's right" Jason said with tears dripping down his face
"What is going on here mom"? Gabriella asked in surprise, she didn't understand what was going on, no one has ever mentioned she had an older brother
"I didn't mean to hide who I was all this while, I wasn't sure on how to go about it seeing it's a difficult and an unbelievable situation"! Jason explained with tears in his eyes, Marcus who has been watching all along held his shoulder to calm his nerves down
" Can someone explain what's going on here"? Gabby asked looking at everyone's face
"Ohh my dear Jason, i can't believe your here, how I've missed you my dear child"! Mrs Racheal said cupping Jason's face in her palms as tears slowly rolled down her face
" My dear child" Martins said and gave him a manly tight hug
"This is not happening"! Gabby screamed and ran out of the hospital in tears
" Gabby"!!! Everyone gasped as she ran off
"Gabby"!! Jason called and ran towards her direction
"I will take you two home now, besides Mrs Martins still need a lot of of rest" Marcus offered and they both nodded and walked into the car. Meanwhile Gabby ran into the street in tears and just then a car pulled up beside her and she instantly stopped
"Gabby"!!! Nina screamed and got off her car. my bad i forgot to mention to you guys that Nina has been out of state since gabby called off her friendship with gabe
"Hiiii Nina"!!! Gabby greeted faking a smile
"Wait... you don't look alright, how have you been"? Nina asked examining gabby
" I've been great, I guess" Gabby said smiling faintly
"What's going on you don't look happy, is everything alright"? Nina asked but Gabby bent her head down and cried cried
" Ohh mine! thank goodness I found you gabby"! I heard jason saying
"You stay away from me Jason"! Gabby said raising her head to look at him
" I can explain Gabby just hear me out" Jason pleaded
"Explain what Jason, how could you keep such secrete from me despite knowing almost everything about me"?? Gabriella yelled bitterly as tears flowed from her eyes
" What's going on Jason? why is Gabby a mess"?? Nina asked holding me to herself
"Its a long story Nina"! Jason said and sighed
" Gabriella I just came back from the state and you're looking devastated and how do you think that's going to make me feel and what's this"?? Nina asked grabbing the DNA result in Gabby's hand and glanced through it "ohh my gosh"!! she gasped "you guys are siblings"??! she asked as her eyes grew in surprise
"Can you please take me home"? Gabby pleaded with Nina
"Come on Gabby please hear me out first" Jason said
"Well this is a grave issue Jason and i think you should give her sometime" Nina advised
"I just don't get why you have to hide it from me" I said soberly
"I'm sorry okay I didn't mean to hide, I figured out mom and dad hasn't told you yet and I don't know their reason for keeping it from you so I just kept mute about it but I never meant to hurt you nor for you to figure out in this way please I'm sorry" Jason said
"This is not the time to put blame on anyone Jason, Nina please take me home" Gabby requested and got into Nina's car
"She's going through a lot right now Jason so please give her sometime please"! Nina said to Jason and entered her car and drove off. Meanwhile back at home Mr and Mrs Martins were worried sick about their children while Marcus tried his best to calm them down
"Gabriella isn't that much of a forgiving type but I hope she understands and forgives us" Racheal said bitterly
"I hope she accepts Jason as her older brother" Martins lamented
"I've never wished for her to find out in this way" Racheal said
"I'm sure she would understand" Marcus chipped in with a smile on his face
"You think so"?? Racheal asked
"I've always known Jason and he's good at solving his own problems without help and I'm sure he will make her understand" Marcus encouraged them, just then a car honk was heard outside and Gabby walked in with Nina
"Gabby"!! my mom called
"Why did you hide it"??? Gabby asked angrily
" We didn't mean keep it from you sweetheart" My mom said
"So I meant to hide it"? Gabby asked snapping her head towards her mom's direction
" We didn't mean to hurt you sweetheart all we wanted was for you to be happy and not live a sorrowful life cause of our mistakes" My dad said
"What mistake"? I asked
" You see Gabriella, your brother got lost when you were barely a year old" my mom said and explained how they lost Jason and searched fruitlessly for him but gave up hope when they couldn't find him and thought he was dead "so we had no choice but to hide it from you so you don't get troubled about him" My mom explained in tears and I felt guilty for getting upset not knowing the pain they must have gone through thinking their son was dead and just then Jason walked in looking so sad and lost but I ran to him and embraced him tightly
"I'm sorry for not listening to you, I guess I was being" she was still speaking when Jason shushed her and giggled as he pulled from the embrace
"Of course not anyone would have done the same" he said patting my cheek
"Mom! Dad"?!! I'm sorry for being selfish I should've known before reacting" I apologized
"It Okay darling"! My dad said with a smile and looked at Jason "Welcome home son" he added and we all hugged each other happily.
"Thanks for coming over today I'm glad" Gabby said to Nina while Walking her towards her car
"I'm glad I was able to see you unite with your brother" She said and Gabby smiled
"How was your trip to the states"?? Gabby asked
"Thought you would never ask, anyways It was awesome my cousin looked gorgeous in her wedding dress" She said happily
"Really" Gabby asked smiling
"Of course, here take a look" She said showing me pictures on her cell phone
"Ohh my gosh she looks hot" Gabby complimented
"Of course she is, by the way I got you some stuffs but you're coming to pick them up at my house" she said
"Sure, I will" Gabby said smiling as they bade goodbye.
After everything Jason went home and told everything to his foster mom who seemed very happy and pleased
"I'm proud of you son" she said with love in her voice
"And you would always be" Jason said and ran to his room in joy.
**********
Back in Gabe's the guards sent to pick up Gabby returned
"Their is no single soul in the house ma'am" One of the bodyguard said
"Ensure to call back next time" she said
"Yes ma'am" He said with a slight bow
"You may may" she said calmly and the bodyguards left.
The next day Jason woke up early and hurriedly prepared for school after which Marcus drove him to Gabriella's house.
"Hello" Jason greeted happily
"Goodness Jason its too early to be here" Racheal said welcoming him in
"Well I'm not here for you guys I'm here for the princess" he teased and everyone laughed
"Of course its not too early to see the princess" Gabby said walking down the stairs in her uniform
"I bet they ain't aware of that" Jason said and everyone laughed
"Come on lets go already" Gabby said
"At least have something to eat" Racheal said
"No need for that mom, right Jason"? Gabby said giving Jason a wink
" Yeah" Jason said
"Alright then we're off" Gabby said and pulled Jason outside and they both left for school together.
*Gabby's pov*
"Its just few days I didn't come to school but it seemed like my absence wasn't even noticed" gabby muttered to herself while walking into her class with Jason
"I did" Chris said walking towards her with a smile
"Christian"! she called happily smiling broadly at him while Nina snuck out of hiding
" Not surprised you are here Nina, can't you give her a break for returning at least Chris"? Gabby asked
"I couldn't wait any longer you know" he said and they all laughed except for Jason
"I will see you later and make sure to eat something, okay"! he said to Gabby who nodded with a smile and he left
"I heard about your mom, and I'm so sorry about that" Chris apologized
"It nothing and she's much better now"Gabby said
"Well I will be off now, I guess Gabe would be looking all over for me" Chris said
"Sure! but be sure I'm waiting for lunch" Nina said to Chris
"Alright" he said and left
*********
During lunch Jason was eating with Gabby on the same table happily while Gabriel on the other hand is with Jason and Nina
"I told you she was a snitch" Gabe said jealously
"What?! How can you say something like that about Gabby"? Nina asked looking at Gabe in surprise
"Why can't I when she's cheating on me with that Jason of a guy" Gabe said picking his food
"You don't call that cheating bruh, when you broke up with her man" Chris said
"Why would you do that Gabe"? Nina asked
"She cheated on me with Jason just can't believe she's still seeing him despite us being apart" he sulked bitterly
"I think you don't really know that Jason of a guy, do you huh"? Nina asked with food in her mouth
" You know nothing since you've being in the state all along" Gabe said and Nina angrily hit her palms on the table which caused a loud noise
"If I've been in the state all along then show respect and don't talk ill about my best friend beside me again" Nina said and left the table angrily
"Nina!! Nina wait"!!! Chris said but she didn't bulge and just walked out. Gabriella saw how angry Nina was and ordered snacks for her
"Seeing how angry she looked I bet she didn't finish her meal so I will hand her this so you eat without me, bye"!! She said and ran out of the lunch-bar
" Hey! what's up"?!! I said putting up a smile
"I guess I made a scene" She said to me but I smiled and shaked my head
"I guess so too, here I got you something to snack on" I said and handed her the snacks I got for her
"Thanks" she said faking a smile, right at that moment I knew she doesn't wanna talk so I kept mute
"I see you don't wanna talk about what happened but you can lean on my shoulder if you wanna cry, its obviously wide enough to help your head from hurting so much" I said giving her a cute smile which she returned and leaned on my shoulder.
Meanwhile back in the Lunch-bar Gabe walked up to Jason and laughed scornfully
"Its seems like you got dumped by a snitch, huh"? Gabe smirked
" What did you just say"? Jason asked a bit taken aback by Gabe's word
"How can someone else be more important than I am while we are in the middle of lunch? Don't you care about how I feel? those must have been your thoughts all along huh"? Gabriel mocked
" What are you even talking talking?... Oh wait are you perhaps talking about Gabby"? Jason asked eye widely open
"Its a relieve you're not slow witted as well" Gabe said
"What guts do you have to speak ill about her"? Jason asked angrily pulling Gabe by the collar but Chris intervened
" Oh man you gat to calm down Jason I'm sure he didn't mean it" Chris said pulling off Jason's grip from Gabe's collar
"What's you gonna do huh"? Gabe fired
"You never can tell" Jason said and walked out on him
"Who the hell does he think he is"? Gabe said to himself
"Gabriella's boyfriend" Chris teased
"Come on man who's side are you on"? Gabe asked Chris who shrugged and said
"Your side of course" he giggled
"Why are you laughing that's not even funny" Gabe snapped and Chris stopped
*********
NINA'S POV:
Nina was in a restaurant with Chris
"Im glad you came back" Chris said
"Of course I couldn't stay for long when I kept you waiting" Nina said with a cute smile on her face
"Yeah I really missed you that I felt I was gonna pass out without seeing you in person" Chris said
"You're making me blush right now babe" Nina said shyly
"Come on there is no need for that, we've been together for two years now so you don't need to be shy around me anymore" Chris said looking at Nina's facial expression
"Enough already" she said giving him a slight push on his shoulder
"Of course I will, but you're being romantic right now" Chris said giggling at her reaction
"Awwwn and you're being sweet right now" Nina said
"Of course I am" Chris praised himself
"There's something I've been meaning to tell you this for a while now" Nina said and paused
"Go on I'm all ears" Chris said
"I don't really know the details why Gabe really called off his friendship with Gabby but she never meant for them to be apart from each" Nina said
"What about Jason"? Chris Chris
" Come on babe don't tell me you believe they're into each other"? Nina asked
"I don't know what else to believe despite knowing Gabby doesn't look that cheap to begin with" Chris said taking his glass of water to take a drink
"I'm glad you didn't suspect them as well cause they're siblings" Nina voiced and Chris choked on his drink
"Im sorry but I didn't mean to startle you" she apologized
"What are you talking about"? Chris asked in surprise
"I'm telling the truth Chris, Gabriella and Jason are siblings" Nina said taking a sip of her drink
"My goodness, this is not good at all" Chris said
"Is that the reason for their break up"? Nina asked
" I have to let Gabe know about this" Chris said getting to his feet
"No you can't" Nina said holding his hand
"Why not"? Chris asked
" Gabriella doesn't want anyone to know yet and if that the reason why Gabriel broke up with her then he should figure out things on his own accord and bring Gabby back, please do this for me okay and for my friendship with Gabby" Nina pleaded and Chris nodded looking lost.
Meanwhile I got home after school and left the house for dad's shop to deliver my uniform to him. I was leaving his shop after eating the snacks he got for me when I got double crossed by some guard dressed guys
"I'm sure you received a mail Ms Martins"? The guard lead asked
"A mail"? I asked in surprise and quickly looked into my mail box and discovered there has been series of mail from Mrs Morris, "OMG that's Gabriel's mom! How did she get my contact"? I thought
"You will have to please come with us to the Villa Ms Martins" The guard lead pleaded
"I definitely don't have any business with Mrs Morris so I won't be coming with you guys okay, go tell her that" I said and made to leave but before I realized it I was carried into the car in the next second and was taken to Gabriel's house to see his mom, "You know what if there's anyone I would like to meet in that house it should be my worst enemy Marina and not someone who ended what we shared for some stupid rumour" I thought as I walked in to meet Mrs Morris waiting patiently for me on a glass of wine
"Finally you're here" she said as soon as I approached her
"Good day Mrs Morris"! I greeted trying not to loose my manners
"You're welcomed" she said with a faint smile
"Am I"? I asked looking at her face
"Of course" she said sipping from her wine I didn't bother sitting and stood watching her reaction
"Why exactly I'm I here"? I asked
"There's a lot we need to talk about but I would like you to take a sit first" she said and I got startled by her warm gesture, remembering my encounter with the instructors and her muteness over it made me really nervous but I had to take the sit to avoid suspicions
"I know you're surprised I called you here but you don't need to worry I've been meaning to talk to you since you're scholarship" She said smiling
"What would you probably want from a middle class girl you awarded a scholarship to" I said nervously
"I just wanted to get to know more you but I think there's a more better reason now" she said and my heart pounded really fast "you see Gabriel is my son and I've been his mom as far as I can recall and the way he's been behaving lately I figured out something was off with him so I digged in and figured out you were his girlfriend whom he just officially called off what you both shared, but he hasn't been himself ever since and has been skipping meal as well, in his sleep he calls out to you and when he's awake he curses himself for being apart from you" she said and my eyes flickered in surprise
"Why? why would you let him skip meal"? I asked quizzically twitching my brow
" He wouldn't speak to anyone and most of all you are the one he needs so please help me bring back my son please, I know it's totally off of me to ask you for help but I've been in his situation before and I know what it feels like" she pleaded with me
"No! I think you're wrong I mean I don't think I'm the one you think his longing for" I said fighting back tears
"He's my son and you happened to be his first girlfriend in life and he happens to be head over hills in love with you" Mrs Morris said with a smile
"I don't think I can be of help to you ma'am" I said
"Yes you can and I believe in you" she added
"I'm sorry ma'am" I said and made for the door and just then Gabe walked in and we walked past each other without a word.
"What have you done to her"? Gabe asked his mom as soon he approached he her
" Nothing we just had a talk" Mrs Morris said
"What did you two talk about"? Gabe Gabe
" Worried that I might find out you two are dating" She said walking towards the the
"I don't care about that but if you hurt a single hair on her skin then forget me being your son" Gabe said but his mom didn't bulge over what he said and just walked to her room.
The next day at school I was at the game house looking at the spot where Gabe usually play basketball. I know I never mentioned that but he likes sport a lot mostly basketball. i just stood there remembering my cheering for him, the crazy romance and all of our memories together at this spot made me cry silently
"Hey"! I heard Chris say to me and I turned to face him " what are you doing here all alone"? Chris asked and I smiled and waved my head side ways
