As soon as he entered the room he went straight to her side and hugged her with tears in his eyes
"Am so glad nothing bad happened, I don't know what I would have done if you didn't survive thankfully there was someone there to help you, am so happy you are safe..."
He kept on saying words of concern until he calmed down and looked at her again.
She was shocked cuz she wasn't expecting that huge care and she didn't expect him to come too she was not used to his care and love it felt so foreign and familiar at the same time.
"Thank you dad I feel fine now" she said trying to hide her embarrassment.
"Ah, I see you have met Mr Kenwood her he was the one that saved you, you should thank him"
He said
"Yes I have and I have thanked him ".
"Hope it isn't a trouble for you to stay here sir" Amy's father said to Gabriel feeling he should have gone since he only helped except if he wants something then he should have said it right?.
"Ah, I do have something to discuss with miss Amy here" Gabriel answered while looking at Amy.
"Oh"--"oh" They all said together while looking at Amy if she was willing to talk to him.
Amy felt weird having all these pair of eyes on her.
"Ok, everyone please give us some space." She said, she does not know why but she felt like what he wants to say is something not everyone should hear at least not now that's why she sent them away.
After they went out everywhere was quite, she wasn't looking at him although she could feel his eyes on her it felt like he was trying to burn a hole into her like he could see through her even tho he was smiling at her and everyone she felt like he was dangerous and she does not want to associate with him at all so she cut it short.
"You wanted to say something right" she said while looking at him from the corner of her eyes.
"Yh" he answered then stood up and walked to the window while looking out he said.
"You know don't you?" He asked
"Know what?" She asked confused she stared at his back which looked familiar but she still didn't know why he looked familiar.
"That she was after you right."
"Yh" it was her turn to give a one word reply .
He raised his brow and turned to look at her
They held eye contact for a few seconds before he broke and said "So why"
"I miscalculated" she said honestly. Which was true if she had remember earlier and move faster when she noticed at first it might not have happened.
"Hmmm" he hummmed and walked closer to her. He bent down so they were in the same eye level and said "Do you know me?"
"Eh?" She replied back confused at what he was saying. He saw the confusion in her eyes and knew she did not remember he was sad for a split second then he smiled and said
"Do you remember Gabby" he asked hopeful.
-I know i have heard it somewhere but where- she thought to her self until it hit her Gabby was a long long friend if hers the boy she loved to disturb everytime her parents were not home before her dad married this new woman and after that they moved and couldn't see him again and eventually she forgot him -wait why is he asking and how does he know that name, ahhh is he...- she thought . He knew she had figured it out. So he smiled and said .
"Yh"
Her jaw dropped while looking at him it all made sense now why she felt he looked familiar turns out he was Gabby.
"You're Gabby" she said with a slight tear in her eye

she remember that she always longed for him everyday she was so used to seeing him that the day they moved she was shocked she didn't even say goodbye then she left when he went on vacation to one of his relatives. Although she left a letter but she did not know if he saw it then .
"And you're the troublesome little kitten that lived next door" as soon as he said it they both laughed as they remembered how that name came to pass .
It was the day she snuck in through his window in the night cuz she was scared after a nightmare and he felt someone beside him so he woke up and was like
"who is that"
"Meow" she said she was scared that he was going to be angry but he knew she was the one instantly as soon as he smelled her scent .
"Kitty or Amy" she gasped she was shocked he knew.
"Why are you here. And how did you get here" he asked her.
"I was scared I have a nightmare so I ran her through my window" she answered while climbing his bed.
You might wonder how that was possible it's because this was not the first time she had snuck out but it was the first time she came in the middle of the night. And for where she passed there is a partition between their walls that was built for emergency that somehow linked to each other so it was easy them to go over to watch others house.
