Apex POV: Age now - 22
Flashback: Age on flashback - 20
I am finishing dinner with my girlfriend Elizabeth and we pay and we leave to go for a walk together. Is a nice evening and although we are both wild and quite crazy but when we are together we take our time, except in sex that we go all out and completely wild. I sigh and stopping our walk I pull her in a kiss, fierce and passionate.
-Damn I love you so much.
Eliza-Apex, let's go home first.
-Never. Hey, can I ask you a question that I have been struggling with for a while?
Eliza-Sure.
-Ok. The thing is, that I........
I clear my throat and taking out from my pocket I get the ring and taking her hand I get on a knee and ask.
-Would you marry me?
She keeps silent for a moment before she does answers but she does it coldly.
Eliza-No.
I get up fighting the urge to cry.
-Elizabeth, why not? I love you.
Eliza-But I don't love you. I like you a lot but I don't love you. Sorry but, no, is better if we, let's take our own separate ways. Thanks for everything. It was fun while it lasted. Goodbye Apex.
She just gives me a pat on the shoulder before she walks away. I just stand there watching her go and she doesn't look back even once but I stay there long after she's disappeared. I start walking on the opposite direction she did and as I do it starts raining and I take that as an excuse to finally allow myself to cry. Eventually I start running and I run away and I don't know where but I don't care, I just, I don't know what to do, what to feel, I don't know anything at all. Unfortunately for me, I am not looking where I'm running and tripping over something I fall over an edge or wathevervit is. My first instinct is to protect my head and so I do or I try to protect my head as I curl myself into a fetal position and I manage to keep my head safe but not my body as I hit myself several times. I finally reach the bottom of wherever I fell down and slowly I look around and being safe from death I keep crying and so I cry until I fall asleep.
A/N: This breakup is a flashback.

Xanders POV: Age - 26
I am in the garden listening to music as I draw in my notebook. I find that like my sister I'm quite the talented drawer and not just a good chef. I smile at the realization and giving my drawing the last details I look at it happy. I smile and closing the notebook I hold it to my chest tightly. Gabriella, my girlfriend, my sweet girlfriend Gaby. I sigh and smiling I stand and go to my room. I get dressed for my date with Gabriella and I go to her place after stopping for flowers and a white teddy bear. Once I get to her house I knock and I wait until she opens the door.
Gaby-Hi baby.
-I got you flowers and this bear.
Gaby-I love them. Come on in. Put the bear on my bed and I'll get these on water.
I nod and holding the teddy bear against my heart I go to her room and I look around.
-Where to put you?
I hum in thought and in the end I place the bear on her night table and I sit it in the corner of the mirror.
-There you go.
Gaby-It looks good.
I almost jump out of my skin when she speaks and she laughs at that.
Gaby-Did I scare you?
-A little bit but is alright. I still love you.
Gaby-I love you too.
I brush my knuckles softly against her cheek and wanting to be playful I kiss her forehead, her cheeks, the tip of her nose. She laughs with every kiss but then is just a kiss and is me who laughs as I taste her strawberry lipstick right from her lips.

That alone makes me kiss her even more and pushing her on the bed and looking at her I speak softly.
-Can I undress you?
Gaby-What for?
-I just want to look at you naked. I promise. Can I?
She nods and kissing me she speaks softly.
Gaby-Go on.
With that I undress her softly and slowly as my fears and shyness get over me for a moment before I keep going and so we both take our time getting undressed enjoying every touch as long as we want before continuing and then we just lie down together.
-You're beautiful.
Gaby-You're just saying that to make me smile.
-What? No, wait no, yes. I guess saying the truth does makes you smile.
She laughs and giving me a soft playful punch on the chest. She keeps hitting me playfully and before long we end up wrestling playfully for a bit before she gives up and we kiss. The kiss deepens and getting excited I back away a bit scared and nervous.
Gaby-Xanders?
I look at her and breathing sharply I grab her to me in a very deep kiss before I back away again and I speak.
-I really want to make you mine but I don't feel like this is the right time for that.
Gaby-I know and I understand.
-I want to explore your body first.
Gaby-You only get to do that if I can do it back to you.
-Oh but of course. We will do everything together.
With that we laugh together and for the next few weeks we experiment together at her house taking our time to enjoy the moment and the more we wait the more we want it and it leaves us wanting more but planning together how we want our first time to be and so she organizes everything except the food, that I cook it myself.

Apex POV: Age - 22
Flashback: Age on flashback - 21
I am in my room brooding from my breakup last year and I look at the ring that I still have from when I proposed to her and she rejected me. I can't believe is been a year already since then. I want to move on but is hard to forget something like that. I sigh and stretching out on the bed I groan lazy as I put the ring back on it's place. I stretch once more when someone knocks in my door.
Imani-Apex, are you awake? Can I come in?
-Sure. Come on in.
I sit up as she does and I can't help a smile when she's bringing a tray with food.
Im-Hi brother. I got you dinner and I also got one for myself to eat it here, with you.
-There's no way to make you eat, not here.
Im-Sorry but you're stuck with me.
-Fine.
I help her set the tray for the both of us and she sits in front of me and so we eat.
Im-Were you crying?
-Maybe.
Im-Forget her. Go find someone that truly loves you.
-I truly want to but is hard. Is still getting easier.
Im-How is it getting easier?
-Well, the more I think about it the more I come to realize and convince myself that I like her more naked than just, uh, it was more carnal desire than an emotional connection and maybe, just maybe she was right. Maybe tomorrow I can start moving on better with someone else or soon.
Im-There you go. That's the brother I love and like so much. Smile for me?
-Sister.
She ruffles my hair and I can't help but to laugh at that.
Im-There you go, now that's a smile worthy of all the love in the world. You deserve it.
-Thanks for bringing me dinner.
Im-You're welcome.
We finish eating dinner together and she kisses my forehead before she goes and takes the dishes away with her and I go to sleep, peacefully and blissful for the first time in a while.

Xanders POV: Age - 26
I wake up in the late morning, I turn to stretch a bit and I bump with my girlfriend at my side, I smile as I remember our date last night and I lie back in the bed again and I wrap my arms around her. She shifts slightly but doesn't wake until a few moments later and I happily give her the space to move and be face to face.
Gaby-Hi love.
-Morning beautiful sleepyhead.
She laughs very softly and we share lazy kisses.
Gaby-I love you so much.
-I love you too.
Gaby-Hey, can I keep the leftovers of the food you cooked for the night?
-Sure. Were they good?
Gaby-You cooked them so, yes, they were good and very creative too.
-I don't always cook in hearts or in any shape at all but, it was a special moment with someone special and I wanted to impress her.
Gaby-Well, it worked because you impressed me and I love you more with each passing moment.
I laugh and kissing her is easier than telling her how I feel and she's used to me acting out my feelings instead of talking them out. Eventually we get up to go home at last and I go to work late.

Franco POV: Age - 27
I leave my newborn baby son on his portable crib and sitting back in the couch with my wife and mom we look at the TV.
-Did they come out yet?
It-Not yet.
Ella-They will, don't worry.
WomaninTV-Thank you Sasha. Now then, today I'm being the host because our usual host is our guest along with two very famous people that you know very well. Let's bring them out. Ayden the athlete, Owen who is perfection incarnated and Wyatt the singer, dancer and model.
There is clapping on the TV as we see how my brothers go in the room and they sit down on their own seats. I recognize them for how they sit. Ayden sits with his right foot on his left knee and his arm on the back of the seat. Owen has the same position but his hands are on top of his knee instead while Wyatt has his left foot on the right knee with his head leaning on his hand.
TV-So, who's who? I guess you really are triplets.
Wy Ow Wy-Yes we are.
TV-Who's the eldest?
I laugh as the three of them speak at the same time.
Ow & Wy-Ayden.
Ay-Me.
They seem to know what they did because they all laugh.
Ay-Wyatt is the youngest.
Wy-Owen is the middle triplet.
TV-Alright so, let's start with the questions. Have you ever been mistaken for each other during your life? Your childhood.
The three of them exchange looks before Ayden answers.
Ay-Honestly, I'm not so sure about that.
Wy-They always grouped us together.
Ay-I think they did because they never called us individually.
Ow-Or at least not as often as they called us as triplets.
Wy-Mom would always call us, boys come here or boys stay calm.
TV-I can only imagine. Of the three of you, who was the most trouble?
Ow & Wy-Ayden.
Ay-Really?
TV-Who is the most innocent?
They think about it for a while before he answers.
Ow-I don't think innocent is the right word to use right now and I am not sure he's innocent anymore but in any case it was Wyatt.
Ay-Always giving mom flowers and he was. Mommy, for you and he holds the flower out with a big smile.
Wy-Someone had to show some love to the queen of the house.
Ay-We did showed her love. You just showed it more and more often.
They both change positions before he speaks again.
Ow-Well, I guess they still do that.
TV-That made you suffer a lot.
Ow-Definitely. They are polar opposites themselves but I'm a combination of both of them. I'm not as lovely as Wyatt but I'm not as unattached as Ayden and that drives me crazy.
TV-Why? What exactly did you do?
Ow-I had to keep Ayden out of trouble but also trying to get Wyatt to be more bold and daring. Bit wilder. I think I succeeded at both with a bit of help from our mother and older brother.
TV-You speak a lot of your mother and your older brother but where is the father?
They think about that one and they make commercials while they do and to calm down.

Once they're back from commercials the first to speak is our youngest brother.
Wy-We don't remember much of him.
Ay-He died soon after our first birthday.
Ow-We still had our mother and our older brother helping her out as best as he could.
TV-Sorry about that.
Ay-Is alright. It was kind of hard when we started asking and our brother always acted as the fatherly figure to us and I guess. After 21 years when I try to remember how dad was I can only see my brother. No wonder I didn't got along with him at first.
Ow-We asked usually about him but it was a sad memory and we left it alone.
Wy-On the good side, our brother had father practice before he got to be a father himself.
TV-So he's your hero.
Ay-He certainly made, and I hate to admit it but, I do look up to him. I really hope he's watching us on the TV right now because I'm not going to say it again.
TV-So you do have a soft spot.
Ay-I am only grateful and giving my fatherly brother the respect and the credit he deserves.
Ow-Handling three younger brothers with just five years old.
Wy-He definitely is the best brother we could have and the best son mom could have had.
TV-That's good. Let's go for a break before we come back with their love life.
They go to commercials and I speak with mom and check on my son RJ before I come back.

After commercials they ask the million dollar question.
TV-Alrighty then and we're back with the triplets. So, now then, we all want to know how are your love lives. Ayden first. Do you have a girlfriend?
Ay-Of course I do and she is, simply put, my perfect other half.
TV-Where did you met?
Ay-Gym.
TV-How?
Ay-Exercising.
TV-When?
Ay-About two years ago.
TV-Are you always this vague answering questions?
Ay-Only with my love life.
TV-Well, since you won't share more right now, Owen. What about your girlfriend?
Ow-She is smart, loyal, kind, caring, I love her with everything I got.
TV-For usually being the best host of this program you're being incredibly vague right now.
Ow-I am the vague guest and an expressive host. You should know better than that. I don't speak that much about my love ergo my private life.
TV-Hopefully Wyatt is more expressive than you two but I'm not so sure he will.
Wy-And you're right. I really love my privacy with my girlfriend and we're still not ready or willing to share our happiness with the world.
TV-What can you share?
Wy-That I'm not single. That I love her with all my heart and that we're happy together. Yeah, that about covers it all.
TV-At least you got that vague answers in common. So, is any of you three planning to marry or have kids?
Ay-The thought crossed my head but I still got to ask and speak with her about it.
Ow-That's a private topic for two lovers.
Wy-I already shared enough.
TV-Alrighty then, moving on.
With that they move on to their careers and we speak about their interview.
