real life

"omg ella what are you doing" nick says to the brunette girl over facetime as she's making pancakes flipping them in the air.

"flipping palacinkas" she simply replies catching the pancake with the pan effortlessly.

"first off, what do you call them? second off, for the love of god please stop doing that" nick looks like he's having a crisis as when ever she's flipping a new one his heart stops for a moment, scared it will fall on the floor.

"we call them that where my family is from and i am a literal pro at this i've been taught this at a very young age i know what i'm doing" gabriella replies confidently. growing up she watched her parents do them like this and ever since she had enough strength to hold a pan she's been doing it aswell.

"okay anyway, what are you doing for summer break?" nick and gabriella would always go to a park to sit and talk for hours. now he lives across the country and it's even harder for them to see each other because ... well ... chris.

she hates the fact that she still is friends with his brothers but other than amelia she really has no other close friends. ever since they broke up she's not been at their house, so seeing nick and matt is just something that would occur in either school, at her place or late night car rides. all of them would happen pretty rarely though because ... well ... chris. the triplets are always gonna be with their triplets. she is doing her best to avoid him though.

"new york for a week with my siblings that's all cause amelia is gone on a cruise ship half of the summer and you guys won't drive down here" she said knowing the reason behind it.

"if it wasn't for who shall not be named i'd be with you already" gabriella told nick to refer to him as who shall not be named since hearing the word chris makes her heart jump.

"speaking of him, they just came back hold on" and with that gabriella is left off with seeing their living room.

gabriellas heart starts to beat faster. chris is there. they haven't spoken in months. not a single word. endless amounts of eye contact but they both have no words left to say to another.

she hears nick from across the room "thanks matt i'll be right back though cause i'm on facetime with .." nick thinks for a second "yea just on facetime" is what he chose to say.

nick feels bad for still talking to gabriella. his brother and her really had it bad and after trying to ignore her for a week he gave up. he just loved her and their friendship too much. same with matt. they have decided to just not talk about it in front of chris. not keeping it a secret, chris knows, but just respectfully giving him a break from that topic.

"oh wait i wanna say hi" matt says and looks around for nicks phone. chris is silent. he knows who he's on facetime with but simply ignores it. he's good at that.

"hi matt" gabriella says as soon as she sees matt on her phone.

"hi ella, what's up?" he responds smiling cause he's finally talking to her again.

"i just made palacinkas giving nick a heart attack. funniest thing ever." she says giggling.

"no cause she just takes the pan and and then she flips matt. in the air. just flips it. like how? what?" chris heart stops for a moment. since he's in the kitchen he can hear them talking.
