GABRIEL***"I didn't know," I said to Harry, "I didn't know." "I believe you," Harry said. We had been too late. Harry had come to look for me so that we could perhaps convince Tiffany to stop but we had been too late, and she had been abundantly clear that we were. "I should have known the three of you was working together," she had said when she saw us at her door, "what were you trying to accomplish? Were you trying to get me to expose myself? Was that why she wanted me to tell people who I was?" Harry explained to me the whole plan. He told me everything, from how Tiffany had posted the article on the day I apologized, but Emily had had no way of knowing I would apologize that day

Bakersville High School***It was the last day of the school year, and our class was throwing a party. It was at Ashley Brown’s. She had always hosted the best parties, just like the one in middle school, and as usual, everyone was invited. I was in my room, getting ready when I saw Gabriel’s car drive off. I sighed. We had argued that day but I had hoped he would at least drive me to the party. I would have to drive myself. We had been dating for a little over a year at this point and it had been the best year of my life. I had finally ended up with my middle school crush. My life was literally a fairy tale. Sure, Gabriel and I had gone through our ups and downs, but we had gotten through each one with no one but each other on our side. I guess it was why the

GABRIEL***“I think you already know what I’m going to say,” I said to Harper who was seated across from me. She was crying. “I do,” she said as she sniffled. “I am sorry for all the hurt I've caused you. I shouldn’t have dated you when I knew I had so much baggage. I only hope that you’ll find someone who will be easy to love, someone who won’t cause you as much heartbreak and pain as I have,” I said. “I’m sorry too, to you as well as to Emily. I shouldn’t have let my insecurities control me.” “I shouldn’t have pu

GABRIEL ****   “I heard that you were leaving,” Emily said.   “At the end of the semester, yes,” I said.   “What?” she asked, turning red, “I came running over because Harry made it sound like you were leaving today!” I laughed.   “He probably did that on purpose,” I said, “I should thank him for that.”   “We should thank him for that,” she said, “it’s about time we had this conversation anyways.”   “Yeah,” I said, “I was going to save it for last but I guess now is just as great, considering you ran over and everything,” I

THE END (Bakersville High school)“Emily doesn’t want to see you right now,” Terry said to Gabriel and he could tell by the tone of her voice that she didn’t want to see him too.  He still didn’t know what he had done. Was this still about the stupid argument they had had that past weekend? He wanted to believe that that was what it was but something felt incredibly off. Something very bad had happened but he had no idea what it was and he had no way of finding out either because Emily wouldn’t see him. She wouldn’t pick up his calls or answer his texts either.
