Trapped Angel

Thirtythree

Gabe POV

Waking up in my own bed felt weird and the breakfast felt straight up awkward. I sat down on one of the chairs and put my hands on the table. My mum turned around and gave me a tired smile which I tried my best to give back. She did probably not get enough sleep last night. She put down a plate of pancakes in front of me between my hands.

"Thanks!" I whisper and and take a small bite, it's weird to eat but a good weird i guess.

"Did you sleep well after the bad dream, baby?" She sat down in front of me and placed her hands on mine.

"Yep..." I sigh and pop the P. Even if it was a lie I didn't want her to worry.

"Good." She nodded and got up again to wash all the dishes. She worked in silence and I didn't make an effort to talk. I didn't know what to say. I've been gone for a month, kidnapped. What was I supposed to say. I can't ignore it and try to act like normal. My mom clears her throat before she sits down in front of me again.

"I have to go and do some grocery shopping later and I thought, maybe we could go down to the police station and take those photos they asked for. If you feel ready." She tilted her head and tried to make eye contact.

"I'm going over to a friends, I mean Sebastian's house today to talk to him. I have plans, can we take that tomorrow?" I let her eyes meet mine and she nod.

"Are you really ready to talk about it with him? Isn't it better to stay home today Gabe, just the station, huh?" She looked at me like I was dying, I guess that's what I look like. A walking corpse, but I'm not helpless. I can do what I want. I shook my head and started to pull at my hair.

"No mom, I can do this, I need to talk him, you don't get it." I snap and I see the hurt in her eyes.

"Of course baby, I can drive you if you want? I just missed you and want you to be safe, thats all!" She stands up and walk over to the dishes again.

"I'm sorry. I just really want to meet him today. Sorry..." I look down and sigh. She rush over to me and kiss my forehead.

"I understand Gabe! Don't apologize, I'll drive you, okay?" I nod and get up, she gives me a tight hug and I walk upstairs and get ready.

I send Sebastian a quick text telling him I'm on my way and push down the phone in the pocket of my maroon colored jeans. I get in the car and put on the car radio and let the tunes fill the car. We drive in a comfortable silence and arrive fifteen minutes later. I stumbled out of the car and waved my mom off. I turned to the door and faced big house. It had a small garden consisting of red roses and sunflowers. Weird combination but very pretty. I pressed my finger to the doorbell and waited for someone and the door flew open. I was met by a huge grin and a big pair of arms wrapping around me. He let go and pulled me into the house.

"Hi! That was a pleasant welcoming..." I chuckle and kick my shoes of in the corner along with a bunch of other shoes which probably belongs to Sebastian.

"Yeah, I like to make people feel welcome! It's my speciality." He smirks and lead me to what shows to be the living room. On the couch sits two men who seem to be in their late forties. They smile at me and one of them stand up. He's pretty buff and have lots of tattoos. His hair is grey and he has a beard. Even for his age he fits in the tats and he would look scary if it wasn't for his huge grin. Now he just looked like a huge teddy bear.

"Hey Gabe! I'm Tom and I've been told about you a lot!" He walk towards me and hug me tight. I was taken by surprise but eventually hugged back.

"H-hi! Nice to meet you?" It turned out more like a question. The other man stood up and walked over to me.

"I'm Robert, you can call me Rob though. We are the dads of these two monsters... It's a pure pleasure to finally meet you gabe!" He hug me lightly and give me a weak smile. He seems slightly younger than Tom and he still has some brown hair left. They are a cute couple who seems very in love.

"We are gonna leave you alone to talk with them in private and we'll be in the kitchen." Rob said and pulled Tom whit him.

"Bye dad!" Sebastian cheered and turned back to me.

"Talk with them? Monsters? I don't understand..." I said and sat down on the couch and Sebastians smile turned into a smirk. It looked a lot like the one Stella pulls actually.

"No? Think about it." His smirk grew even bigger.

"You said that you would answer my questions about Stella if I came here, I'm here so tell me!" He shook his head and I've started to wanting to rip it off.

"I think you should meet my someone." He stood up and started to walk towards the stairs.

"No! Tell me! You promised!!!" I said and crossed my arms, I'm so done with his bullshit!

"Come on Gabe!" Even if i was slightly pissed I did as told and followed. We walked up the stairs and came to a closed door in the end of the corridor. He knocked lightly before opening the door.

"You have a visitor!" All I saw was a big bed and a girl sitting on it, her back facing us. The green hair gave it away and I knew exactly who it was.

"This is my sister, Stella. If you have any questions about her I think she is the perfect person to ask. She turned around slowly and faced me.

"Hi Gabe." She said still looking down at the ground.

"Hi Stella." I felt sebastian poke my side so I took a quick step forward and he quickly closed the door behind me. He didn't lock it but it was enough for me to slowly walk over to Stella and sit down next to her on the bed.

"How are you?" I whisper and she raise her head and look at me.

"Is that what you want to know?" She says in a flat tone.

"Part of it, yes." I say and try to reach her eyes. She looks so tired and her eyes are blank.

"I'm like usual, I guess. How are you?" She looks back at the floor.

"Is that what you want to know?" I copy her and I can se a small smirk form on her lips.

"Shut up!" She says and look up at me with a small grin. She meet my eyes for less then a second and then back at the floor. I can see her fists tensing and she takes a deep breath.

"What do you want to know?" She ask and meet my eyes again but doesn't look away.

"Can I ask you anything?" I smile weakly and she nod.

"I can't stop your annoying ass now, can I? Her smirk turned into a grin and I grin back and shook my head.

"I guess not." I take a deep breath and start to fiddle with the ends of my shirtsleeve. I can see that she's nervous too. I've never seen her like this. I can also see the small cut on her forehead from when she fell down the stairs. There is a small bruise on her nose as well. I take a deep breath and let it slip out of my nose before I speak.

"Why were your eyes black?" She stayed quiet for a while the cleared her throat.

"I was mad."

"Okay... Why are you so good at fighting?" I had seen her fight. It was not something she wasn't used to...

"I got beaten in school."

"Why?" She was back to calm and her voice was once again flat.

"I was bullied a lot."

"Why?" I repeated myself.

"Because I'm different..."

"How?" I asked and looked over at her bruised knuckles.

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you." She sighed.

"Try me!" I said and put a hand on her shoulder, she stiffened under my touch but relaxed a moment later. She sighed again.

"Okay... But you won't believe me."
