"Aren't you bored being alone here all by yourself"? he asked
"No I'm fine, i just wanted to be alone" I replied smiling faintly
"I know just how you feel Gabby but you can always rely on me, okay"! he said
"Hmmmm" Gabby sighed slowly
"I know you miss him a lot" Chris said
"I wish he did same too" Gabby said in a low tone
"I'm sure he did" Chris said taking a bite of his sweet candy
"You think so"? Gabby asked looking at him
"I know so but he's being childish right now" Chris said and a soft giggle left Gabby's lips as a smile played on her face
"I know there's nothing going on between you and Jason" he said
"I guess Nina told you already" Gabby said and sighed
"I wouldn't wanna lie to you but how about teaching him some crazy crazy"? He asked looking at me with a grin on his face
"Like giving him a punch on the face"? Gabby asked and they both laughed
"I will tell you more in details but for now Nina would be looking all over for us" he said looking around
"yeah you're right" Gabby said and they both walked out chatting happily.
Meanwhile on the other hand was Jason and Gabriel having issues, let me tell you how it started. Jason was standing in the school hall with his two hands in his pocket when Gabriel walked to him in rage
"Where is she"? he asked pulling Jason by his shoulder
"What do you mean where is she"? Jason asked in surprise
"Answer me already" Gabriel yelled
"Come on man how I'm I supposed to know whom you're talking about" Jason said moving from Gabe
"Where's Gabby"? he asked
"how I'm I supposed to know, I'm here all by myself buddy, can't you see that"? Jason asked shrugging as he rolled his eyes
"You don't know"? Gabe asked furiously
"Of course I don't" Jason said and started walking out but Gabe went after him and pulled him back
"You know what Jason, I think its best you stay away from Gabby if you can't keep her safe and she's not even into you in the first place. She's my girlfriend alright and everything she's doing right now, she's doing it to make me jealous, so you better" watch your back and stay away from her if you can't keep her safe" Gabe warned with anger burning in his eyes
"You definitely don't know your girl do you? Anyways you don't need to know since we're in love now and Gabby is a strong grown up girl who can protect herself more than you could've done for her" Jason said but Gabriel got really upset and landed a punch on Jason's face
"What was that for man"? Jason asked holding his cheeks but Gabe landed another on his stomach which made Jason furious and they broke into a fight, Some group of student rushed in to separate them and just then Chris and Gabby rushed in and separated the both of them but Gabby was so upset and furious upon seeing the bruise on her brother's face, she slapped Gabe's cheeks so hard that he went speechless
"How dare you lay your hand on him you scumbag, You better stay away from Jason and I cause I won't be so nice next time" Gabby yelled angrily as she glared at Gabriel
"I was only looking out for you" Gabriel said and he looked at Gabriella in shock, he was gonna apologize to her today, that's why he came looking for her but when he didn't get a positive answer on where she was from Jason, he decided to teach him some lesson for leaving Gabby all to herself
"looking out my foot"!! Gabby spat angrily "I bet you've forgotten, you called off our relationship right before my very own eyes and that gives you no right over me again as we're no longer a pair, so you better not get in my way again"! Gabby furiously said, she was mad and disappointed in Gabriel that she wanted to leash out all of her anger on him, Gabe was stunned, he wasn't expecting Gabby to speak to him so rudely, he shut his eyes to let the pain in his heart overwhelm him, Chris was worried about him but was disappointed in him for having picked a fight with Jason. Getting out of the scene Gabby pinched Jason's bruised face causing him to scream lightly
"What has gotten into you Jason, how could you possibly pick a fight with Gabe"? she asked angrily
"I did nothing wrong and how can you side him when your older brother is in this state"? he said and Gabby glared at him, she did feel sorry for him, he was going to go through a lot from now on cause Gabe has no idea, they're both siblings "C'mon take me to the hospital already, I think my bones are broken at the moment" Jason said in a fudged tearful voice
"Really? where"? Gabby asked a bit scared as she thought Gabe might have beaten him so badly
"I'm not a doctor but I think he broke my jaws can't you see the blood"? he asked showing her his jaw, Gabby didn't bother looking and pulled him into his car and drove off to GREENEVILLE HOSPITAL. Meanwhile back in the school Chris was furious despite taking Gabe to the hospital
"How could you do something so childish Gabriel"? Chris asked
"Was I really childish"? Gabe asked and Chris sighed
"I know I shouldn't be saying this right now but if you really miss Gabby then go for her, follow your heart" Chris said sitting beside him
"She hates me now" Gabe said
"She doesn't hate you she just wants you to come back" Chris said
"I was going to apologize to her when I saw Jason, I thought they were both together, I had asked Jason but he wouldn't give me any positive reply, I was upset and decided to teach him on how to always be by her side and protect her, that was how we got into a fight, it wasn't really all my fault but with Jason in the picture I'm the bad guy Chris" Gabe said bitterly as he sighed deeply and looked out the hospital window
"Gabe..."
"I want to be alone, please" Gabe requested, Chris wanted to speak but Gabriel cut him short
"Sure" Chris said and left
***********
Meanwhile, Marina was in her room on a video chat with her friends
"How was your trip back"? Erica asked
"It was awesome, when did you return from London"? Marina asked Erica
"I returned three days back" Erica replied
"You never told me you were returning" Marina sulked
"I was going to surprise you but Mercy couldn't get hold of herself and let it out" Erica said smiling
"You never told me it was a surprise Erica"! Mercy defended
"I'm glad I found out, else this Channel bag I got for you wouldn't have been yours" Marina said showing her a Channel design lovely handbag
"Is that mine"? Erica asked happily
" Of course it is and this Givenchy is yours Mercy" Marina said smiling while showing off what she got for them, she loved her childhood friends so much that she wanted to share anything she has with the both of them
"Well I got three gold matching bracelet for us" Erica said showing it to them "besides I learned Gabe had a fight with Jason today" Erica chipped in
"Of course but no one seems to know the reason behind their fight but I definitely think its because of that commoner" Mercy said
"No that not possible Gabe has long called off his friendship with that low life of a girl remember"? Marina said rolling her eyes
"Well I don't think he ended his relationship with Gabby because he doesn't want her anymore, I think he did that because Gabby is seeing Jason" Mercy said sarcastically
"What? My Jason with a low class girl c'mon Mercy that is pathetic to think of Jason" Marina scoffed glaring at Mercy
"Well I'm just saying, but, if that's not the case then why did he ask you to stay away from him for hurting Gabby"? Mercy asked taking a spoonful of her cereal
"Come on Mercy I think you've got the wrong idea here, what if Jason and Gabby aren't really linked together, what I mean is, what if he's just friends with her"? Erica said
"The thought of them being friends together is what I fear the most okay; that girl is a snitch and look she already got Gabriel and now she's friends with Jason, what do you think would happen now that she's no longer in a relationship with my brother"? Marina asked in an anxious tone, as jealousy swept her, she and Jason were business partners and had met on a trip to Mexico to seal some business deals, Marina had developed a soft spot for Jason on their first meet, so did Jason but he didn't dare show it, they sometimes hang out together but not privately.
"C'mon girls let's not just get this concluded without being so sure of it and by the way Marina we've being out of the state for a while now and we aren't so sure about the things that's being going on so please don't cause any issues yet and get things properly looked into okay"?! Erica said
"I don't think that's necessary Marina just do what you do best and get her out of the picture for good this time" Mercy said with a wicked smile all over her face, she disliked Gabby so much and wouldn't want to do anything or come near her
"That's harsh Mercy, better get over with that wicked heart of yours" Erica said looking at her without a trace of smile on her face
"I'm not just thinking straight right now, talk to you later"! Marina said and ended the call
**********
It was weekend, Gabriella got up early, made breakfast packed some and went to the hospital to see Jason her big brother, hahaha, it's funny right but she's happy and liked the fact that Jason was her older brother and not some guy who wants to flirt with her or take advantage of her break up with Gabe but someone who wants to protect and fight for her like Gabriel would have, but off course he didn't right but she will always cherish every moment she had spent with him in her heart.
"Good morning"! Gabby greeted Jason with a smile as soon as she walked into his ward but Jason layed down glaring at her face
"What took you so long"? he asked and Gabby looked at him in surprise
"What do you mean what took me so long? have you lost manners or something"? Gabby asked unpacking the food
"You left me all by myself the whole night and you're just getting here"? he said and Gabby stopped what she was doing
"For Christ sake Jason you're not a child that I need to take care of the whole night and your injury isn't that serious" she said pointing at his injuries
"I got into a fight because of you Ms at least show some gratitude" he said stressing the word "Ms" as he rolled his eyes
"You know what I shouldn't have come in the first place so I'm leaving and no food for you today cause I won't be coming around and no one knows you're at the hospital so you're gonna have to suit yourself by your goddamn self" Gabby said packing up the food she came in with back into the basket
"Wow! wow! wow! you want me to go starving"? he asked holding her wrist
"Wouldn't that be the best big brother"? she asked faking a smile at him
"Nope that means you want to have me killed of starvation and I'm gonna have you sued for that" he said and Gabby giggled loudly
"Well let's see about that" she said and flipped her hair behind her as she made towards the door trying to walk out with the food
"Wait are you really serious right now"? he asked and she turned towards him
"I wasn't joking and you can go ahead and call the cops on me I don't care cause I would always get away with everything I do" she exaggerated
"Alright, I'm sorry, please don't leave your only brother to die of starvation please" he sulked while begging and Gabby laughed annoyingly
"Oh really? wouldn't it be the best if I kill him already knowing he would never have the chance to cause me any more trouble when he dies"? she asked making him freeze in his own fear in surprise as his eyes widened, Gabby saw his expression and laughed inwardly knowing fully well she got him
"I'm sorry okay and you're the best kid sis ever in the whole world so please don't kill me" he pleaded and Gabby laughed out loud
"Oh my gosh I got you right there,I could tell you were already freaking out" she said laughing while unpacking the food again
"Yeah I got scared of you,you really scared the hell out of me" he said and Gabby chuckled
"I'm sorry okay I was kidding the whole time and I would never hurt my brother for anything in the world, trust me" Gabby apologized giving his food to him
"My hands are numb at the moment do you mind feeding me please" he said
"You must be joking right"? Gabby asked looking at his face
"No I'm not" he said, Gabby agreed and started feeding him after which they chatted and he slept off.
Meanwhile Marina heard about Jason being in the hospital and decided to pay him a visit but on getting there she saw Jason and Gabby happily playing together so she stood by the door and watched them both hoping Jason would notice her presence by the door but he never noticed until he fell asleep on the other hand she took series of pictures of the both of them playing and decided to confront Gabby at school the next day. That same evening Jason got discharged cause he's injury was nothing serious and Gabby took him home
"Is this where you live"? Gabby asked as soon as they walked into Jason's house
"of course, I live with my mom and little sister" Jason replied ushering her in
"The house looks empty" Gabby said looking around
"Mom is an instructor" Jason said
"Really"? Gabby asked
"Yes,she owns Think High Education" Jason said walking towards the kitchen
"Oh mine! you mean Mrs Madison has been your mom all this years"? Gabby asked looking at him in surprise cause Mrs Madison is well known all over the world as the best instructor so far, Gabby also had participated in her online classes during the scholarship exams and it was amazing learning from her
"Yes she is, she's a very kind mom as well and I love her so much" Jason said smiling
"She does look kind and I'm a big fan of her and I've always wished to meet her in person" Gabby said smiling excitedly
"Very soon you will get to meet her in person" Jason said
"Off course I will all thanks to you" she said and he smiled broadly.
The next day Gabriella got up and prepared for school but before she was done Jason was already at the house waiting for her while chatting with mom and dad
"How do you like your new office dad"? Jason asked smiling
"It's very nice,comfy and spacious son I like it there" dad said
"What are you two talking about"? mom asked coming out of the kitchen with bowls of food
"It's was going to be a surprise for you and Gabby sweetheart" Dad said and Gabby walked in
"What surprise"? she asked looking at her dad's face with curiosity
"Well Jason got another laundry shop for me and this is one of the best I've ever had in my whole life" Mr Martins said smiling while dishing out food for Jason
"Really" gabby asked looking at Jason in surprise and he nodded
"Ohh my gosh son! your father has always wished to get a more better laundry house than the shabby one he's in and you just made that come through" Mom said excitedly
"Isn't Jason great mom"? Gabby asked looking at him
"Off course sweetheart your big brother is really great, he's just perfect" mom said and Jason smiled akwardly. The chat continued till they both left for school on their way to school Gabriella thanked Jason for making their dad's dream come true, on getting to school she stepped out of the car and headed to her closet but Marina walked in
"Look whom I have here" she said and Gabby turned around to the sound of the voice and as expected it turned out to be Marina, she sighed slowly and shoke her head
"What do you want Marina"? Gabby asked
"I want you to stay away from him" she said and Gabby wondered who the hell she was referring to
"Marina I have no idea who you're talking about, besides, it's a beautiful morning to make any trouble so please keep your distance" Gabby said and continued with what she was doing in the closet
"I'm not done talking to you commoner" she said angrily
"Suit yourself then" Gabby said not even looking at her
"How dare you snitch speak to me like that, first it was my brother and now Jason don't you have any shame"? she asked
"What are you talking about"? Gabby asked looking confused
"Acting like you don't actually know what I'm talking about huh"? she asked and rolled her eyes sighed
"how I'm I supposed to know"? Gabby asked shrugging but Marina glared at her in disdain "I'm not cut out for your troubles please, besides it's still morning" Gabby said and made to walk out
"I was at the hospital yesterday and I saw you and Jason together" she said and Gabby giggled, she had guessed something was cooking
"what does that have to do with you then"? Gabby asked looking at her face
"I have photograph of you two from the hospital yesterday and if you don't stay away from my boyfriend then I'm going to have this photograph released in the internet for everyone to see what sort of girl you are" she threatened
"Boyfriend"? Gabby asked looking at Marina surprised, she wondered if Marina has gone crazy or has lost her senses
"I guess you were not told but Jason and I have been linked together for a long time now" Marina said folding her hands across her breast
"I see" Gabby said with a light smile on her face
"You're just a shameless girl who will be left with nothing at the end just like you have nothing now, you know why? first it was my brother Gabriel and now my Jason?! come on Gabriella you're such a poor snitch" she said and stormed but Gabby didn't say a word rather she shoke her head and walked out.
