Now before I start the chapter, I just want to let you know I see Michael Trevino from The Vampire Diaries who plays Tyler Lockwood as Gabe! I don't want to put in in the character box cause he's new and you haven't seen him in the beginning. I just don't want the people who are new to reading this to be confuse. Thanks! ------>

This Gabe guy pulled back and put his hands on Scott’s shoulders and Scott did the same thing, “I heard you found your mate.”

“I heard you were in juvie.” Scott said, them both going off in chuckle.

Gabe shrugged, “Got out three days ago.”

Scott turned his head to me quickly before turning back to Gabe, “And yeah, I found mine. Gabe, this is Abigail. Abigail, this is Gabe! One of my favorite cousins and we’re like best friends ever since we were toddlers!”

I smiled awkwardly and raised my hand up, “Hi.”

He chuckled, but it sounded like a snort, “She’s shy, Scott. But with whoever sets us up, they must put us up with our opposites.”

Scott just shrugged, “Maybe. So what are you doing here? Could have given us a heads up before you came?”

“Thought it would be a nice to surprise you.” he said, wrapping his arm around Scott’s head and bent him down a little, rubbing his fist against his head.

Scott pushed him off and laughed, “At nine o’clock at night?”

“And mi padre kind of kicked me out.” he said. “I need a place to stay.”

Kelly walked up to them with her arms crossed over her chest and she eyed Gabe. “Mh-hmm, I bet. With all the trouble you’ve been doing, I would have to.”

“Oh, Kelly, you never did like me.” he said.

“Not true, I just thought you were a bad influence for Scott.” she said.

“So I made him throw a mud pie at Cassie, doesn’t mean I’m a bad influence.” he said.

“Cassie was fifty with a broken leg.” Kelly said.

“It was funny….for the moment.” he said, before him and Scott broke off into laughter. She smacked her tongue against her teeth and walked away. “Kel, I was only joking….kinda.” he said when she was out of ear hearing.

Scott hit his chest, “Dude, how’d you get in juvie in the first place?”

Gabe awkwardly scratched behind his ear, “Well, I kind of joined this gang back in Chicago and I kind of sole from this shoe store when I was sixteen and got caught. They looked at the first of my records and well—I was a bad boy”

“What?” all the boys cried out in shock.

“What were you doing getting in a gang?” Scott asked.

Gabe shrugged, “I thought it was cool back then, but now I realize how stupid it was.”

“You were always the trouble one.” Scott said. “But lets not get into that right now. What did you agree to with my parent to let you stay here?”

“Well, I don’t plan to go back to school for my last year, there is no point. I have to get a job, though. Skyler won't—in his words, ‘have me lazing around here if I won’t finish school’. Your dad sure seems to still love me even after I put those fire cracker next under his table when we were kids.” he said before him and the boy going off into laughter as they went off in memories.

I started to feel this ‘push’ feel, like I was being pushes away as they went off in treasure memories. I have no memories of anything good in my life, but one. The night my parents took me to the amusement park when I was ten and we left two hours later because my parents started fighting.

I walked over to the stairs and went up them. I knocked on Lena’s door and she told me to come in. She was laying down on her bed with Tyler next to her, asleep.

I smiled and walked over to the bed, “Hey, thanks for watching him.” I said, getting my sleeping brother from her.

“No problem, he quickly knocked out after his bottle.” she said.

I told her goodnight and left the room. I walked over to mine and went in. I placed Tyler in the crib and he started to wake up. I put his bottle in his mouth and he held onto it with one hand, looking up at me. I smiled and waved as his little eyes slowly began to close again.

Once he fell back to sleep and the bottle dropped from his mouth, I got undress and got into some—of Scott’s—pajamas. Skyler Sir. And Kelly they’ll take me to my house tomorrow when my dad at work to go get my thing.

I can finally stop wearing Haley or Victoria stuff now. Don’t get me wrong, they have some really nice cloths, but none of it was ever my style.

I got in bed and turned on the TV that was in the room.

It was an hour and a half before there was a knock on my door. Wanting him think I was a sleep, I closed my eyes and pretending I was. I heard the door slowly open, close, and silent footsteps. His parents didn’t like the idea of us sleeping in the same bed, but that never stops him from sneaking in.

I knew he made it to the bed when the bed dipped and someone crawled in the back of me. I smelt Scott’s usual fresh AXE cologne he uses. He turned me around. “I know you’re awake, Abby.”

Crud, I hate that, I thought as I opened my eyes and looked at him. “How’d you know?”

“Well first off, you don’t fall asleep until, like, midnight, it’s only eleven thirty. And I heard you two minutes ago repeating words of the movies.” he said.

My cheeks heated up, “I've seen this movie eight time already.”

“Why’d you leave?” he asked. “When I realized you left, I was shocked.”

“You weren’t paying attention to me.” I said, not meaning it to come out the way it sound. I just meant—hmm, maybe I did mean it like that, but I didn’t mean to sound so clingy about it. I felt pushed aside and Scott completely forgot I was even standing behind him. “I-I mean—”

“I get it.” he said. He put his arm around me and pulled me into his chest. He placed his cheek on the top of my head, “Sorry, I was just really excited. I haven’t seen Gabe since I was thirteen.”

“I understand and I’m glad you’re catching up. I was just being…” I trailed off, trying to find the right words to use.

“Jealous.” he said.

I scoffed, “I was not! He’s just your cousin, why would I be jealous?”

“Well he’s somewhere my cousin. God knows how many distance of generation we are apart. Everyone in my family calls other cousin because we belong in the same bloodline and we know this from turning into wolves. Gabe more like a best friend—my second best friend.” he said, kissing the top of my head.

I couldn’t help but smile and giggle, turning red from it, but my smile wouldn’t go away. I hate how Scott can make butterflies fly around in my stomach and make me feel happy again.

I pulled my head back and he captured my lips with his. I felt like he lit up a lighter and I felt like I was his only attentions and thoughts. I can’t believe I felt jealous. I guess I like Scott attention way too much, but hey! I grew up with no attention from anyone and I didn’t want to lose Scott.

Scott pulled back and smiled, “I love you.”

“I love you too Scott.” I told him.

I woke up in the middle of the night with my throat dry, needing sometime to drink real badly. I fought with Scott to get out of his arms, but he groaned and pulled me into him tighter. “Noooo, go back to bed.” he said, his voice groggy and lazy.

“I’m thirsty, Scott. I’ll be right back.” I told him.

He groaned, but let go of me. I let my vision come to normal and stretched as I got up. I yawned as I stepped out of the room and made my way downstairs to the kitchen. I grabbed a glass cup and walked over to the fridge. I grabbed the gallon of cold water, walked back over to the isle, and purred me a glass.

As I was pouring it, the kitchen door opened and my head snapped to the door to see Gabe walk in. I saw he was only in his boxers and of course being the stupid little virgin I am, I turned my head away quickly, blushing up.

“Couldn’t sleep?” he questioned, walking around the isle onto the other side.

I put the gallon away, “No, I could. Just got thirsty.” I said before turning around and I walked back over to the isle. I grabbed my water and started to turn, “Night—”

“Wait, Abigail,” Gabe said and I paused, looking at him confused. He walked back around the isle, “Look, I just want to let you know I’m happy for you and Scott. Scott’s a really good guy and I’m pretty sure he would do anything for his mate.”

I smiled, thinking it was nice of him to talk about Scott like that. “I know he is, I trust Scott.”

“That’s good.” he said and I nodded. “But don’t.”

Confusion filled my body and confusion was written all over my face, “Huh?” How’d we just go from talking nice about Scott to me not trusting him?

“I have always tried to toughen up Scott when we were little, which is why I was around him a lot. I love Scott just like a cousin, damn, even a brother.” he said, walking towards me and I stepped back until my back hit the counter. I kept a close eye on him as he walked all the way up to me that he was only three inches from touching me.

I started to feel uncomfortable being around him and I looked away from him. I wanted to get out of here, go back to Scott, have his arms around me, and never talk to Gabe again. He gave me this weird, bad feeling.

“Scott betrayed me before my family and I left for Chicago, I plan to get him back.” he said. He put his hand under my chin and turned my heads to look at him. My expression was not good. I looked at him like he was crazy. “And I will get him back.” he said, pecking down on my lips hard and I gasped, pushing him away.

I wiped across my mouth, “Why’d you do that?” I whispered coldly.

He reached out and I cringed when his index finger touched my cheek. I felt like I was paralyze for some reason as his finger caress down my cheek, “I have my reasons. But I wouldn’t tell Scott about it.”

I scoffed, pushing his hand away finally, “You can’t tell me what to do.”

“We wouldn’t want to hurt him, right?” he asked, looking me in the eyes. “I mean, I’m Scott’s best friend since we were five years old. He’s going to believe me, not a girl he's known for god knows how long. Like I said, Abigail, don’t trust him ever.”

I stared at him; could he be telling the truth? If I told Scott, would he believe me? Over someone who has known him since childhood? I had this big lump in my throat as I looked away, realizing what he’s saying could be true.

“Good girl.” he said and he was reminding me so much of my father. He grabbed a hold of my chin and made he look at him. I cried in shock and he kissed me again. My face scrunched up in disgust and I tried to push him away, but he was way stronger. Stupid wolf.

He pulled back and grinned, “Better get back up there before he wakes up and starts to wonder where you are.”

I glared at him and wiped around my mouth as I turned away and quickly left the kitchen, wanting to get the hell out of there. As I walked back to my room, I couldn’t help but have my thoughts race to what just freaking happened!?

Just not so long ago he looked at me like I was a joke and now he’s messing with me? What the hell is up with that? Why is he doing this anyways? I thought him and Scott were best of friends. And what does he mean Scott ‘betrayed’ him?

He gave me this bad crawling feeling, the same feeling I get from my dad. Oh jeez, just when I thought I got away from my dad, mini-him comes into my life.

I got back to my room and took a few sips of my water before getting back in bed. I laid my back on Scott’s chest and I put his arm around me. He shifted and pulled me back tight against his chest, kissing my shoulders as his head crawled into the space between my shoulder and neck.

I have never felt so guilty in my life.

I was thankful when I didn’t see Gabe at breakfast in the morning before school. I had a hard time going back to sleep last night, but after forty minutes, I was able to. I still feel guilty about Gabe kissing me and I brushed my teeth two times this morning. Before and after my shower.

The others and I put our plates in the sink and we were about to walk out when we heard steps going down the stepped, “Have a nice day at school.” we heard Gabe sarcastically said.

I sneaked a looked at him and I saw him grinning at my direction. I glared at him before turning around and walked out before the others. I hate Gabe.
