"she's not coming" Chris said looking elsewhere
"Who's not coming"? Gabe asked looking at Chris face
"I mean Gabriella Martins isn't coming for the summer vacation" Chris said looking very serious
"what"! Gabe exclaimed "why isn't she coming"? he asked further but Chris said nothing "I need to know what's wrong with her, is she okay? why didn't she want to come when she seemed very happy about this vacation when it was mentioned"? Gabe asked looking disappointed
"well" Chris said and shrugged "she changed her mind, besides she couldn't stand being here with everything going on between you two,she felt she wouldn't survive here breathing the same air as you" Chris lied
"what"? Gabe asked looking all shocked "and Jason? I don't see him around"? Gabe asked looking around for him
"He couldn't come without Gabby so he stayed with her to comfort and keep her company" Chris said reading every expression on Gabe's face
"why didn't you tell me"? He asked Chris in a shocked tone
"you wouldn't care if I had told you so I didn't bother" Chris said and Gabe started walking away "Hey where are you going"? Chris asked
"I'm asking the captain to turn the ship around, we're going back to get her" he said walking faster but Chris pulled him by the arm which made him stop
"don't make a scene out of this,she means nothing to you now and she's in a relationship with someone else who's with her right now and even if we go back you won't get a chance to talk with her so think about me and everyone else in this ship who's excited about this trip" Chris said in a deep low voice to keep him from laughing out his lungs over Gabe's reaction, Gabe after hearing what Chris said angrily stepped out of the ship's room and sat on the ship's cabinet outside under the sun with his head thrown behind in a deep thought.
"that was a good one and I give you a 10 " Nina praised Chris after Gabe angrily left, she's been watching them from a corner were she stood and took videos with her phone
"I did well,huh"? Chris asked with a smile
"off course, you should've been an actor" Nina teased
"Right"? Chris asked laughing
"yeah and I had everything carefully captured, here take a look" Nina said showing him the video she had captured with her cell phone
"He still loves her" Chris said
"yeah I know, I can see and feel it as well but we just have to do this for the both of them,he needs to come back to his senses and learn to trust the one he loves" Nina said
"soon Marina should come to me so be ready" Chris said playing with her cheeks
"I can't believe I will be part of this plan" Nina said as a chuckle escaped her lips
"off course we should be arriving Lilies bloom garden in ten minutes and after the plan has been carried out I will compensate you for the stress" Chris said smiling at her
"No need for that I've been meaning to teach her a lesson for hurting Gabby you know"? Nina said
"then you should compensate me for helping out with teaching her a lesson" he said teasingly
"I won't be doing that" Nina said putting her gaze elsewhere
"you are my bethroted wife and luckily we are in love with each other and you don't have to treat me that way, you need to consider my feeling" he said sulking like a child who's candy has been stolen
"don't act like that, ew it's disgusting"! Nina giggled "it seems like we've already arrived"she said and Chris turned around to see everyone hurrying out of the ship
"what the heck"!! he exclaimed
"it seems to me like you lost track of time" Nina teased "No compensation for you my dear friend" she said walking out of the ship grinning
"you can't escape from me Nina" Chris said twining his fingers in between her's.
few hours later Nina engaged Gabby in a chatt and explained everything that has happened so far,
"I'm going to send the video I recorded to you" Nina said to her happily over the video chat
"what video"? Jason asked
"she recorded a video of Gabe's reaction when he heard we weren't coming for the vacation" Gabby explained to Jason
"you two really look like a couple" Nina said and they laughed
"Hey! Jason is my brother and nothing more than that" Gabby said glaring at Nina
"But we really do look like a couple, you know"? Jason chipped in and Gabby teasingly hit his shoulder
"I can't wait to come over so please try as much as possible to get Marina convinced, Jason and I should be arriving in two days" Gabby said with a mild smile on her face
"yes ma'am" Nina said and disengaged the call
"where do we go from here"? Jason asked standing beside Gabby
"We've been wandering around since morning, let's head to mom's coffee shop, since I left home,I haven't visited" Gabby said looking at his eyes
"sure" he said and grabbed her hand in his as they walked into his car and drove off. You might be surprised I said "since I left home, I haven't visited yes" that's because since Gabriella visited Mrs Madison she wouldn't let her go, she sent her bodyguard to get the stuffs she would be needing for the vacation over to her place and shopped more groceries and accessories that will help her be comfortable all through her visit and it's been fun that Gabby felt like not going for the vacation anymore but getting Gabe is her number one goal and motivation which she must get him back at all cost. While heading towards Racheal's restaurant, Jason used another route facing southwest, Gabby who had no idea her mom now owns a new restaurant got confused
"that's not the route to mom's coffee shop" she said but he wouldn't say a word and after much persuasion and Jason didn't say a word she let him drive without bothering him after a while he pulled in front of a magnificent restaurant and Gabby got really upset "what the heck is wrong with you Jason,I asked to go to mom's coffee shop and not some restaurant and I'm not fucking hungry anyways, neither are you" she screamed but he didn't bulge and just pulled her inside, Gabby was speechless when she saw her mom ordering the staffs on what to do "what is going on"? she asked looking confused as her Mom walked towards them, Rachael gave her a warm hug and a kiss on the cheek "Mom"? "what is going on"? she asked looking at Jason's face but he wouldn't look at her nor blink
"you didn't know"? Rachael asked holding Gabby's shoulder
"Know what"? Gabby asked looking at her mom and then Jason, with the expression on his face, she then understood what was going on "hey!! when did you do all of this" she asked giving him a little push
"don't be too hard on your brother sweetheart,he did all of this three days ago" Rachael said and Gabby blinked in surprise
"three what"?! she screamed "and you were ready to take me to the vacation without letting me know" she asked
"it's was going to be a surprise but you asked to come visit mom and I can't ask you not to come so I brought you" Jason defended himself "don't you like it here"? he asked further
"don't be silly, I love it, it's absolutely beautiful!! thank you so much bro"!! she said and gave him a warm hug
"I'm glad you like it" he said
"Dad"?! Gabby called as soon as she saw her dad walking towards them, it's been three days since she saw her dad and was very happy to see him
"sweetheart"! he called and Gabby ran into his embrace
"didn't you leave for the vacation"? he asked and Gabby smiled at him
"Jason and I are going in two days so don't worry we just need more time to pack up our stuffs" Gabby said smiling broadly at him so as not to cause any suspension
"why pack so much stuffs when it's just a vacation"? he asked
"since we are all together, let's eat together as one big family and not ask so much questions okay"! Mom said pulling us to a seat
"Mom I would like to have vegetable pasta sauce and rice" Gabby said
"Me too" Jason said "with grilled pork chops" he added
"Pudding will be just fine with me" Dad said and mom gave the orders to one of her staffs and in no time it was served.

Everyone was getting ready for dinner when Marina walked up to Chris who was having a chatt with Nina
"Hey"! she greeted
"Hey"!! Chris replied
"Mind if I speak with you for a second" Marina said bitting her lower lip as she looked around
"Sure"! Chris said and made to step aside but Nina held his wrist
"we're not done talking and besides this not the time to talk with others" Nina said fining to be upset
"What do you mean? I just want to speak with him for a few seconds" Marina said looking at Nina with her head slightly bent down
"Everyone's heading for dinner and you want to talk, seriously"? Nina asked Marina who was already feeling embarrassed
"watch it Nina" Marina cautioned
"You should watch it and if you need someone to talk to then go get yourself a boyfriend and leave Chris alone"! Nina said hoping to get Marina really upset
"What"? Marina asked and Chris intervened
"it's okay baby it won't take long, I told you Marina and I are good childhood friends" Chris said holding Nina's shoulder
"I don't care, I will be outside awaiting five minutes is all you've got" Nina said and walked out with a hidden smile on her face as she stepped out and hid in a corner to capture the scene with her cell phone
"I'm sorry about that she can get really sentimental sometimes" Chris apologized
"you should teach her some morals" Marina said looking at the direction where Nina walked out from
"off course, so what is it you want to talk about"? Chris asked peering at her face
"I don't see the commoner around" Marina said looking at his face
"you mean Gabriella"? Chris asked
"whatever, didn't she come for the vacation"? she asked further
"She couldn't afford the luxuries so she couldn't make it" Chris lied
"And Jason?! Ugh... I mean her boyfriend"? she asked
"He couldn't come cause Gabby was unwilling to let him get the luxuries for her and wouldn't want to come either so he stayed with her" Chris said
"what"? She asked sounding disappointed
"Yes! that's the truth, ohh mine I envy their love life so much, and Jason is such a cool guy and he's willing to do anything to make Gabby happy, ugh I envy him a lot" Chris said with his eyes slightly closed
"No! he doesn't love her right, I'm sure of this, he's only trying to make her feel better since the world seems to reject her" Marina thought to herself
"Hey! hey! are you still there! hello"?!! Chris asked waving his hand across Marina's face who seemed lost in thought
"Why would he be with such a shameless girl"? she silently muttered to herself
"I'm really famished right now, do you mind joining us"? Chris asked rubbing his stomach as it growled hungrily
"No I'm fine, thanks"! Marina said and Chris Walked out,Nina pulled him by the arm and gave him a high five
"you acted great" Nina said smiling
"Gosh I'm really famished and you acted great as well, acting like a jealous girlfriend really suits you" Chris teased
"you're crazy" Nina cursed laughing
"I should flirt with other girls to get a real reaction from you" Chris said twitching his eyebrows
"you wouldn't dare" Nina said and they both laughed.
Later that evening Gabby got the videos from Nina to show their job was completely done which means it's up to her and Jason to carry out their actions. Two days later they left in a private jet, you won't believe it but it's was Jason's foster dad's private jet. They had wanted to book a flight but his Mom Mrs Madison suggested they fly it to Lillie's bloom garden while in the jet, Nina and Gabby engaged in a chatt while Jason on the other hand was taking pictures of Gabby, in the process, he carelessly poured his wine on Gabby's black sweat shirt and she had to change into something else, this time she wore a white comfortable hood, this time
Jason made sure he doesn't get Gabby messed up. Arriving the airport which wasn't far from lilies bloom garden they got into a red Ferrari which was patiently waiting for their arrival
"Did you arrange for this as well"? Gabby asked starring at the car in awe
"Mom did" he replied amused by Gabby's reaction when she saw the car
"She's so cool" Gabby praised Mrs Madison
"I will drive, you may leave" Jason ordered the driver who is supposed to take them to the garden and he immediately obeyed while Jason drove off, on getting to the garden everyone's gaze was directed towards the red Ferrari as it slowly drove into the garden, Jason controlled the keys and the doors slowly went up, he stepped out and walked to the side where Gabby sat and helped her step out of the car with the support of his hands, Gabby glamorously stepped out feeling on top of the world with a satisfied broad smile on her face. Marina couldn't believe her eyes when she saw this, she had hoped they're weren't coming, she boiled angrily and quickly walked out with Mercy and Erica running behind her
"Gabriella"?! one of the students asked in surprise
"what"? someone else yelled in surprise
"how's this possible"? another asked
"I thought they weren't coming for the vacation"? yet another, this were the questions and murmuring among the students as they took pictures and videos which they posted on their Instagram page, soon the messages popped up on everyone's phone who wasn't present when Gabby and Jason had arrived.
"Gabby"?!!! Nina screamed and ran towards her with a hug
"I missed you" Gabby said smiling broadly
"I missed you too! it was a bit boring without you"! Nina said smiling
"where's he"? she whispered into Nina's ears
"he went skating with Chris" she whispered back and they got disengaged from the hug "so good to see you" she said giving Jason a slight hug.
"I had so much fun today" Gabe said smiling as a message popped up on his phones screen, he quickly opened it and saw the video of how Gabby and Jason had arrived, Chris got the same notification and looked forward as they were already close to the garden
"isn't that Gabby"? Chris asked looking at her direction and almost immediately Gabby raised her head and their eyes locked together, Gabriel speechlessly starred at her face as he was swept with jealousy, Jason noticing this pulled Gabby by her waist and drew her closer to himself
"We're tired after a long flight and we will like to get some rest" Jason said looking at the students "let's go" he said to Gabby who smiled
"I will take you to your room" Nina said leading the way while Jason and Gabriella walked behind her with their fingers twinned together.
Gabe was pained over this scenario and quietly went to his room without saying a word to anyone cause he was heartbroken and jealous at the same time.
The next day's evening Gabby was sitting outside the house alone while Jason was playing snookers with the boys when Gabriel approached her
"hey"! Gabe said standing a little bit away from her
"Hey" she said nervously looking at her slippers
"How have you been"? he asked looking at her face
"Good" Gabby replied still not looking at him
"can we talk"? Gabe asked
"should we"? Gabby asked in a low tone as she looked at his face
"I understand you're upset with me but I have no one else to talk to and besides we're both left alone and no one seems to know we're not at the game house" Gabe said with his hands in his pocket
"that doesn't matter to me right now" she said putting some hairs behind her ears
"why not"? Gab shrugged
"you really want to know why"? she asked playing randomly with her slippers
"yeah" Gabe replied
"first of all I don't want to have a fight with your scotching sister when she sees us together, secondly I have someone who would definitely return to me after the game, someone who's gonna keep me company that I don't need to feel lonely anymore, someone who's willing to stay and not someone who's willing to leave whenever he wants" she said looking Gab straight in the eyes as she spoke
"Do you really love him the way he loves you or you're just playing with his feelings to get back at me"? Gabe asked in a low tone
"that doesn't matter to you" Gabby said
"and why would she play with my feelings to get back at you huh"? Jason asked behind Gabe who got a bit startled
"what are you doing here babe you should be in the game with the others"? Gabriella asked rolling her eyes at Jason
"I was conversing with her so you should stay out of this" Gabe said folding his hands across his chest
"why would I stay out of it, least you've forgotten Gabby and I are in love with each other and it would be best if you stay away from her, got it"? Jason said finning upset
"c'mon babe it's literally not what you think,we were just having a conversation but it's fine, if you don't want to play games anymore, you're free to join us"! Gabby said rolling the corner of her eyes which was slightly fixed on Gabe to know what his reaction would be
"off course I should be part of the conversation since you're having it with my girlfriend" Jason said sitting beside Gabby and as expected Gabe didn't say a word and walked out feeling angry and embarrassed at the same time
"my goodness gosh!! I think we got him real good"? Gabby said giggling with laughter with her palms covering her mouth
"off course you did" Jason said looking at Gabe's direction
"what do you mean "me"? we literally did it together" she said smiling broadly revealing her white set of teeth
"yeah" Jason said nodding. Meanwhile while Jason and Gabby were ridiculing Gabriel, Marina, Mercy and Erica happened to be passing by and saw what happened, Marina was angered as she was filled with jealousy
"Did you see that"? Mercy gasped as soon as they walked out
"I can't still believe they're into each other" Erica said
"I feel so stupid for coming to see this argument between them with you girls right now" Marina said feeling jealous
"I only asked you to come over cause I bumped into them and I just can't help watching them argue over that commoner alone but I'm sorry you have to see that" Mercy said in a pleading voice
"I literally didn't want to believe it in the first place but seeing how Jason brought her all the from UK to London in a private jet and to the garden in a red Ferrari, I think something is going on" Erica said looking really curious
"I'm so happy she's off Gabriel's neck right now and it's the perfect opportunity I need to get into him and make him mine forever"! Mercy bluffed
"yes you need to win Gabriel over while we help Marina get Jason back" Erica said pulling Marina to a side hug while rubbing her shoulder to help her calm down a bit cause she looked jealous and upset.
††††††††††
Three days after they had a beach game and Nina made Gabby to wear a bikini which revealed her thighs and curve line, at first Gabby was really shy and uncomfortable haven't not been in a revealing dress like that before but as time went on in the company of others she got comfortable in it.
"you know what Jason I've been meaning to say this but your girlfriend look so good in that bikini" Chris teased
"Don't she"? Nina chipped in making Gabby blushed pink
"I think we're gonna make babys tonight" Jason said and Gabby burned red
"you're crazy Jason"! Gabby yelled laughing
"No I'm not! I'm practically serious right now, what do you guys think"? he asked Nina and Chris who agreed to it
"I think it's a good idea" Nina said giggling
"off course it's the perfect idea bruh, you've got my support, I can lend you some cd's if you want"!! Jason said loudly as he winked at Gabby causing almost everyone's direction towards them
"Chris stop you're making everyone look at us right now" Gabby said feeling a bit embarrassed
"Doing worry about anyone here Gabby else you won't enjoy your vacation and being your first time you need to create a lot of memories to go home with" Nina said almost in a whisper as she rubbed Gabby's hand
"I will be with Gabe, guess he would be all alone with no one to converse with" Chris said standing to his feet
"you're right, go be with him,he must be passing through a lot seeing Gabriella and Jason together" Nina said. Gabby felt a bit sorry for him but she kept smiling for her friends not to know how sorry she felt for him.
"Hey bruh"!! Chris said to Gabriel who was laying on a beach bed all alone in a corner with a glass of wine on a table next to him
"what's up, thought you were having fun" ? Gabe said sitting up while Chris sat next to him
"off course I have to spend quality time with Nina you know" Chris said
"it's not like she's going somewhere without you anytime soon" Gabe said
"you never can tell, you know she's a busy girl who runs her own business already" Chris said
"the photographing thing huh"? Gabriel said
"this few days that she called off her duty is the only time I have to spend with her cause she might leave as soon as we get back" Chris said and sighed deeply
"I'm happy with you man but I'm jealous of you two regarding how you two inseparably love each other despite being bethroted" Gabe said looking at Chris's face who chuckled
"all I had to do is to trust, love, care and give her my attention and also be her play mate" Chris said as a smile played on his face, as he remembered how often he played with Nina
"Hmmm" Gabe Hummed sadly
"Anyways I think Gabby is having a good time with Jason here" Chris said getting to his feet
"I guess she is" Gabe said and sighed sadly in envy
"you won't believe it but they are actually planning on making babies together" Chris said with a grin on his face but Gabe giggled with laughter
"you got to be kidding me" he said with his eyes turning dim
"I'm fucking damn serious right now" Chris said
"that is not possible" Gabe said and started walking out while Chris ran after him
"where are you going"?? he asked running after Gabe who was walking really fast and didn't give him an answer but walked straight to where Gabby and the rest are sited
"we need to talk" he said pulling Gabby up by the wrist as she was struggling to free myself but Gabe's grip was too strong on her wrist that she couldn't break free Jason made to stop him but Nina won't let him
"you need to give them a chance to be together sometimes else she won't get him back" Nina sad holding his arm "what did you say this time huh"?? she asked Chris while rolling her eyes
"Nothing I only said Jason and Gabby are planning on making babies together"!! Chris said with his eyes fixed on Jason's face
"you gat to be kidding me here, how could you say something like that to him"? Nina asked glaring at him
"hey! the plan was to make him Jealous to fight for what's his"! Chris said defending himself
"Are you going to do it"?! Gabe asked Gabby as soon as he pulled her to a quiet Corner where no one would spot us together
"I don't understand what you're talking about"? she said trying to catch her breathe
"Are you really going to make babies with Jason"? Gabriel asked looking into her eyes
"you're being ridiculous right now Gabe, we aren't together anymore and whether I decide to make babies with Jason or not is literally none of your business" Gabby said as she sighed lightly
"you really love him huh? you called off our relationship just to be with him"?? Gabe asked fighting back the tears which was welling up in his eyes
"cut the crap Gabriel I ended our relationship because of your stupid sister Marina and you what did you do to get me back huh? you officially called off our friendship on your own without even being sure of anything and now you dare put the blame on me" Gabby said in an agitated tone
"you're just being shameless and ugly right now" Gabe said making me giggle with laughter
"I don't care what you take me for but you're stupid and selfish" Gabby said and made to walk out but Gabe pulled her back and she missed her step and fell but Gabriel was quick to hold her by her waist, he placed his lips on hers and kissed her passionately as his two hands firmly held her waist, with tears tickling down Gabby's cheeks she struggled free and ran out in tears as she fought her heart which was yawning for him, she wanted the kiss to last even longer but what could she do, her heart was aching because of him, Gabby squatted down in an empty space where no one was and cried as series of thoughts flooded her mind "he dares call me ugly and shameless even in this situation huh"? she thought to herself, meanwhile, while Gabby ran, she had run past her friends who called out to her but she didn't stop nor turn back to know why they called
"what's wrong with her" Chris asked looking at Gabby as she ran pass them
"he made her cry"? Jason asked looking upset
"I think so but you can't do anything to Gabe without Gabby being part of the idea and they're getting back together so all of this is meant to happen, take care of Jason,I will handle Gabby" Nina said to Chris and ran after Gabby.
After his incident with Gabby, Gabe was taking a walk alone outside the garden to clear his head when he bumped into mercy
"Hey"!! she greeted
"Hey" Gabe replied with his hands in his pocket and a faint smile playing on his face
"where are you going all alone"? Mercy asked further
"Just taking a walk around the town" he replied walking away while Mercy walked behind him
"ugh mind if I tag along It's really bored in there" she said pointing at the garden
"off course I don't mind" Gabe said not looking at her
"thanks" mercy said and they walked side by side in silence until they came across a cotton candy seller "I want to get those" she said pointing at the candy and Gab nodded while she ran off and returned with two cotton candy in her hands and handed Gab one and took the other
"I love the taste it's been a while I had them" he said smiling at her
"really I eat candy almost every day cause I love the taste and don't seem to leave without it" she said
"whoa! that's ridiculous" Gab said laughing
"right"? she asked looking at Gabe laugh
"you like it that much, but sometimes it's seems irrelevant to me" Gab said and shrugged
"Most of the things that seems irrelevant are the ones that produces relevant result just like the cotton candy, I have it when I'm upset, bored or frustrated, I just speak to it and eat it at the same time and it helps me get relieved" Mercy said with a smile on her face
"It's really makes sense why you have it most of the time" Gabe said starring at the candy in his hands
"yeah it does,I haven't really told anyone about how selfish I am towards this Cotton candy though, it's silly telling it to you but I'm happy you're the first person to know about my little secret" Mercy said smiling which Gab reciprocated with his gaze on the candy. Back in the garden Nina barged into Chris's room looking upset
"Hey babe is there something wrong"? Chris asked Nina while getting on his feet and walking closer to her
"is Gabe cheating on Gabby with Mercy"?? she asked looking really furious
"yo! I know you're beginning to despise Gab but he would never cheat on Gabby with someone like Mercy okay" Chris said holding Nina's shoulder
"you see that picture was taken not up to 10 minutes ago on my return from the fruit market where I went to shop some for Gabby, you see how happy he looks huh eating cotton candy together on the street laughing ya"!! Nina screamed handing Chris her phone to view the picture closely
"look babe let's not jump into conclusions and observe them closely it might not be what you think it is okay"?! Chris pleaded with Nina
"I think it's what it is and if he dares get back at Gabby in this way with that girl,then I'm gonna rip him apart,he dares not hurt my best friend"!! Nina voiced with anger in her voice
"babe stay calm Gabe isn't one to mess around with girls and most especially not Mercy"? Chris said calming Nina down by placing a kiss on her forehead and pulling her into a hug "you know how much Gabe loves Gabby huh"? Chris asked and Nina nodded "please don't say a word about this to anyone else even Gabby till I find out the real truth okay"? Chris requested and Nina agreed
ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ
The next day during lunch, Marina walked into the dinning room with her friends with a broad smile on her face, she opened her lips and said
"we're having a dinner party tomorrow night" Marina screamed and everyone fled in joy, Marina looked around and saw Gabby sitting all by herself having lunch "hey! Gabby!! she called sarcastically "oops you're not so welcomed to the party but because we share the same man I think you should come cause I don't wanna hurt him" Marina said as she approached Gabby who was sitting alone in a corner with her bowl of soup
"It's seems like you're forgetting something here dear, I don't need your invitation to come to your party anyways cause my boyfriend would still bring me in even if I don't want to be part of your stupid party" Gabby said smiling broadly at her with her hands on her lap
"You must think you're very special to Jason right now huh? well you know nothing about him and the things he's capable of doing and just you wait and see just how he's gonna dump you and your crazy ass and come running right back to me after I'm done with you" Marina confidently said with a grin on her face
"you really think so huh"?? Gabby asked her looking into her eyes to clearly see it's expression
"I don't think cause I know so" Marina said and started walking out
"Don't be so shocked and surprised by what's going to happen in the future Marina"!! Gabby said behind her, she held her step for a while and angrily walked out without looking back at Gabby who had a grin on her face. Gabby didn't leave the dinning room after the argument with Marina, she sat for a while lost in thought till Nina walked up to her
"what are you doing here all by yourself when everyone is at the game field"?? She asked sitting next to Gabby
"I wasn't aware of that" Gabby said smiling faintly
"I saw Marina on my way here did she perhaps say something to you" Nina asked looking at me
"Nope I'm all good" she said smiling at Nina
"let's go to the field then" she said pulling Gabby up and they both walked down to the field to see a lot of students playing different kind of game unfortunately Gabe and Jason seems to be on the same team playing the tennis game against each other. Gabby walked up to Jason and whispered into his ear
"don't get hurt or make trouble with anyone most especially him please" she pleaded and he nodded
"c'mon let's play with the others" Nina said and pulled Gabby to the dancing crew
"I don't dance, ugh... why don't you take a lot of pictures today for your work as usual I think it's better than dancing" Gabby objected
"c'mon it's gonna be fun and I'm not taking any pictures for now" Nina said and joined while Gabby watched her after some time she happily pulled Gabby into the dance floor and she had no choice than to blend in with them after a while Marina stepped in with her friends and joined the dance
"I feel uncomfortable with them here" Gabby whispered to Nina
"don't worry we're going to be fine, besides I'm here and nothing is gonna happen okay" she assured Gabby as they danced on, Gabby danced so well that she was lifted up by the other dancers in happiness but not quite long someone among them fell and hit the others and they crashed on the floor causing Gabby to loose consciousness cause she fell from the top with some bruises on her skin. Before she lost consciousness Gabby saw Marina and her friends laughing silently while watching her fall and scream in pain, this made Gabby guess it was their plot all along.
Nina ran to where the boys where playing the tennis and screamed "Gabriella"!!! as tears rolled down her eyes and they quickly rushed down to the place and saw her lying unconscious with some blood on her body, Gabe quickly picked her up in his arms and ran out of the field to a near by hospital which wasn't far from the play ground while Nina, Jason and Chris ran after him. He arrived the hospital and the doctor examined Gabby and treated her bruises
"There's no fractures anywhere just the bruises but she's completely fine, all she needs is a lot of rest to regain her strengths" the doctor said
"can we see her now"? Jason asked nervously
"off course" the doctor said and walked out, they walked in with Gabe entering last Gabby who wasn't a sleep locked eyes with Gabe as tears streamed down her cheek
"my goodness I was so terrified" Nina said giving her a hug
"How did this happen" Jason asked looking at Gabby's face
"I don't remember" she lied knowing so well it was Marina whom her brother is in love with and also her boyfriend's sister, Jason sighed deeply seeing Gabby don't want to give out the information on who pushed her down "what is he doing here"? she asked looking at Gabe
"he rushed you here in his arms immediately you blanked out" Nina said looking at Gabe with her hands rubbing Gabby's. Gabby sighed and closed her eyes "I want to be left alone with just Nina" she said with her eyes shut and they quietly left without arguing over it
"she did this" Gabby said with her eyes still shut
"What?! I mean how did she get a chance when we were all there"? Nina asked looking at Gabby in surprise as she understood whom she was referring to
"I saw her rejoicing over it with her friends before I blanked out, I have no doubt she did it" Gabby said and slowly opened her eyes
"she's totally crazy,I think she's lost her senses" Nina said in an agitated tone
"I know" Gabby said and sighed deeply
"I should let Gabriel and Jason know about this" she said and Gabby held her hand
"No"! Gabby said
"why not"? she asked and Gabby smiled at her
"Jason and Marina are apart because of me, Gabe isn't in good terms with her either all because of me I don't want to ignite more fire and I would like her to get shamed herself, when she finds out all this is just a game" Gabby said smiling faintly
"you're right and I think Gabe is really hurting" Nina said
"off course he is and sometimes I just want to tell him that all of this is a game and sometimes I feel he should figure out on his own, like I'm so confused" Gabby said sadly and took a deep breath
"I understand and it's normal to feel sorry for him but most of all follow your heart" Nina said, Gabby was about saying something when a knock was heard on the door and Jason walked in
"the doctor said you could get discharged today" he said and Gabby nodded, after a while of rest at the hospital she was discharged and brought home by Nina and Jason, Gabe left earlier with Chris after Gabby woke at the hospital. Gabby was so weak that she fell asleep only to wake up the next morning with Nina starring at her face
"you're up"? she said and Gabby nodded while sitting up
"did I sleep for too long"? she asked looking at her with her puffed eye balls which were round due to the long sleep and Nina smiled
"you've been sleeping since the previous evening" Nina said rolling her eyes as a soft chuckle escaped her lips
"what"? Gabby screamed and looked at the clock by her bedside and slumped back on the bed
"here I brought you breakfast, you need to eat cause we have a lot to do today and it's Marina's dinner party tonight and we need to get a spa and our hair done" she said and Gabby nodded and ate her food silently while Nina kept her company with a lot of gist flowing through her. Meanwhile Chris was walking down the street with Gabe
"where are we going" Gabe asked
"I just want us to take a walk together, it's been a while" Chris said looking forward
"yeah it's been a while" Gabe said and they walked in silence for a while
"are you perhaps in anyway seeing Mercy"?? Chris asked looking at him
"I don't understand what you're hitting at" Gabe said
"you see just the other day Nina told me she saw you both taking a walk together along the street laughing together while eating cotton candy" Chris said stressing his words
"do you have a problem with that"? Gabe asked looking at him
"no! no! I don't, I just wanted to be sure" Chris said
"she's been the only one close to me since we got here even you my friend no longer have the time for me and Gabby what did I gain? she's in a relationship with someone else right before my own eyes" Gabe said with a sad tone
"what if is not what you think" Chris asked looking at him
"what else would I think when the whole evidence is right before my own very eyes"? Gab asked
"I don't know maybe something else but I was wondering if you could you approach Gabby casually than making up stories in your mind, like I said it might not be what you think" Chris suggested but Gabe giggled over it instead
"what we shared is long dead in my heart and I don't care about her or her feelings anymore" Gabe said in a low tone
"you might try to deny it or keep it a secret in your heart but I know you love Gabby so much and your willing to do anything for her, we've been friends since grade school and I know you too well just think about what I told you" Chris said and started walked backwards "you can continue on your own I'm tired and my ankles are hurting" Chris said walking backwards leaving Gabe in his own thought. Gabe cried in pain as his heart yawns for Gabby even if he tries to hide it, he wished he could run up to her, screaming how much he loves her for the world to hear, he wished he could go to her dream world with her, he wished he could spoil her and at the same time protect her from harm but his ego wouldn't let him do any of this

It's was time for the party and everyone were all happily dressed in their dinner dress. Gabby and Nina were dazzling in a floral dress looking all pretty. The party finally began and Jason walked into the hall together with Gabby while Chris walked in with Nina. Gabe was looking all over for Gabby when mercy approached him
"hey! ugh are you looking for something"? she asked but Gabe denied it
"off course not,ugh I was just taking a walk around" Gabe said nervously
"seems like you have no date for the dinner neither do I" Mercy said smiling
"yeah I don't" Gabe replied smiling faintly
"let me be your dinner date then" Mercy suggested
"sure" Gabe replied with a nod and a slight smile on his face. The party has halfway begun, Gabriella was walking around during the dance when she spotted Gabe and Mercy dancing together in a romantic mood, Jason saw this and pulled her into the dance floor with him and they started dancing but Gabby wasn't concentrating her thoughts were scattered, when it was time to switch partners Gabe was the one closest to them and made to switch with her but Gabby who's tears welled up upon seeing him dance with Mercy looked him in the eyes and ran out of the party ground bringing the party to an abrupt end, Gabe wanted to run after her but Mercy held him back with her grip around his arm, Jason ran and Nina ran after Gabriella while Chris approached Gabe
"I told you to think it through" he said standing beside Gabe
"I did absolutely nothing wrong" Gabe defended himself
"off course" Chris nodded and walked out on him. Back in Gabby's room Nina managed to put her to sleep and then left.
Marina's pov:
"Did you see that she completely ruined my party for no good reason" Marina angrily complained to her friends
"I don't see any reason why the party has to end because of her,I mean she's nothing to be recognized" Mercy said
"I think something happened, I mean who runs out of the party like that without a reason"? Erica asked
"Nothing is going on with her, she's just bent on ruining my party, I had to throw this party so that I could get closer to Jason, so that I could see his warm face glowing in happiness, and now that snitch of a girl has ruined everything"! Marina screamed in pain and anger
"Its alright I'm sure if Gabby knew about it she wouldn't have ruined your party" Erica said holding her hand
"I don't have to tell her about my plans for my own party" Marina said
"You don't need to tell it to her and I think you should teach her a lesson, don't let her get away with this Marina"! Mercy said sitting relaxed on a sofa with her eyes focused on her cell phone
"Mercy that's cruelness, Marina?! Mercy is completely wrong and out of her mind you don't need to teach Gabby a lesson, it was just a party and we can always have as many party as we want"!!! Erica intervened
"Off course I can always have as many party as I want but that bitch isn't getting away with this" Marina said with a sly smile on her face
