Madi's POV:

"God, Sissy. You made me cry." Nancy said while sniffing, right after I finished my song.

I just smiled at her and glanced on Gabriel's direction. I also smiled to him and he does the same.

"You know why was that my favorite song?"

"No, why?" I asked her confused.

She takes my hands and she lead me back to our seats.

"Because I have a friend in high school who fell in love with her bestfriend. But her bestfriend didn't notice her effort. But she continued to love him even when she knows deep inside, the guy will never notice her effort because he's in love with someone else. And that song was her team song for her bestfriend. Catch me I'm falling for you."

"Ohh.." why does it hurt to hear her story.

"But anyway, let's cheers for this night. For your ever after with Gabriel and for your upcoming babies!"

We lifted up our glass while we're both laughing. When I glanced back at Gabriel, I saw him frowning while talking to Phillip. But then I looked away when he also looked at me.

Mr. Wilsons is really enjoying his song which is obviously dedicated to his wife. And when he finished singing, he passed the microphone to his son. I looked at Nancy when she nudged my arm.

"What?" I asked her.

"He's going to sing?" she asked with wide eyes while referring to her brother.

"And so?" I can't help not to ask.

"He stopped singing after his break up with------ ohh, I'm sorry." and she immediately covered her mouth like mentioning Stacey's name is a huge sin.

"Why do you always say sorry every time you mentioned Stacey's name?" I asked frowning.

"Because she was his ex and you're the present." she awkwardly answered.

I sighed before I hold her hand.

"Nancy, like what you said.. she's in the past and I am his present. And it's nothing to me if you talk about her." I hope my eyes can show the same emotion with what my mouth speaks.

"Can I also choose a song for you, Gab?" that was Justine, who take the song lists from Gabriel hands. They were already in the middle and choosing the song for Gabriel. He didn't complain, he just let him choose a song for him.

"Okay, here it is." Justine said grinning.

Nancy and I leaned on our seats and just watched Gabriel frowned and looked at the grinning Justine on the couch. He just shook his head, and to my surprise, he walked towards me and kissed my forehead. All eyes are watching us. And I hitched my breath when he lowered his head to my ear.

"Love, I didn't choose this song. The bastard Justine put it on the screen." I smiled at him. Asking him silently through eyes. Actually, he didn't even have to tell me.

"I just want you to know." he smiled and cupped my left cheek while his other hand is holding the microphone. And then he starts to sing.

I straightened my seat when I hear the first lyrics.

"When did you stop loving me? How long I been a memory? I've gotta know for my own sanity. Tell me when did you stop loving me?"

Although I know that song was not chosen by him, but by the way he sings its every lyrics, it feels like an arrow piercing through my heart.

"Was it that night that you stayed out until dawn? You know that night has hunted me for so long. Or was your love already cold? Tell me please, I've gotta know. Darling, when did you stop loving me?"
