                            Gabrielle's POV

A year later Harvey and Theo got married. A few days after the wedding a package was delivered to our house.

                       *Mindlink with Jacob*

"Babe? Did you order something?"

"No. I don't think so why?"

"There's a package from a pet store."

"You can ship animals? That sounds inhumane."

"They probably hand deliver them. Son of a bitch it's Terence's"

                       *End of Mindlink*

I brought the package in the house and opened it. Oo mice! Are these for me? Why is there a dozen? I called my brother to tell him something got delivered to the house. He rang the doorbell and I opened the door.

"Please explain to me why there's a box filled with a dozen mice on my kitchen table."

"It's better if I show you."

"Why do you have a bucket?"

He opened the bucket and reached in. I screamed. WHY IS THERE A SNAKE IN MY HOUSE?

"Get that away from me!"

"Come on. Just hold her."

"No!"

He started putting the snake closer to me.  I started running.

"JACOB!! WHERE ARE YOU!?! GET HER AWAY FROM ME!"

"Come on just touch her!"

"JAKE!! HELP ME!!"

"Mom said you used to love these things!"

"KEYWORDS THERE ARE "USED TO!" I GOT BIT WHEN I WAS 3!"

I kept running around the house yelling Jacob's name while begging my brother to get the snake away from me.

"JACOB! I NEED HELP! JAKE!!"

"What's with all the screaming?"

"HELP ME! BABY!"

I hid behind Jake.

"What's going on?"

"HE'S GONNA KILL ME!"

"Gab it's just a snake. It's not gonna be poisonous. I don't think they sell those."

Don't ask to hold it. Don't ask to hold it. Why did you ask to hold it? Oh god you're holding it.

"See? It's harmless."

"AHH! GET IT AWAY FROM ME! I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE!"

I started running around the house again.

"GUYS STOP! PLEASE!!"

I ran into Jacob and I's bedroom and locked the door. I started crying.

"Come on. It's literally harmless."

"STOP PLEASE!"

"Is she crying?"

"Babe? Are you okay?"

"NO! AHH! PICK HER UP! PICK HER UP! JAKE! SHE'S COMING IN THE ROOM!! YOU GUYS ARE ASSHOLES!"

I can't breathe. I think I'm having a panic attack.

"Okay that's enough. I don't want to sleep on the couch or outside tonight."

"I'll go put her away."
