(Still Gabby's p.o.v.)

Chapter sixteen:

Gabby's P.O.V:

I dragged myself out of bed. I honestly just wanted a lazy day, you know just lay in bed and do nothing. But I knew I needed to go see Linda again, plus that could be relaxing, drinking a cup a tea while reading my book. Still no sign of Linda. It was 2:15pm. The lady at the front counter said she's usually here at 2:00pm. I suddenly heard laughing and car doors slamming. I scanned the cafe and found all the popular people, including the girls who ditched Jane and William. I quickly held the book I front of my face. I could hear someone say "go inside guys I need to talk to her". I automatically knew it was William. I could hear foot steps getting closer to me. "Hey" I heard a voice say. I pulled the book down from my face, "may I sit here? Or is Harry somewhere?" He asked, "Harry isn't here" I said, "nice book you got here" he said while turning the book over, "warm bodies huh?" He said while reading the cover. I couldn't believe I was reading the book upside down, I must have seemed like a retard. "I'm really sorry about what happened at the party" he said while looking ate the ground, "I was really drunk gabby. I would have never done that if I was sliver" he added, "and tell Harry I'm really sorry. I regret everything I have done and said to both of you guys. But I'm epically sorry to you gabby" he said while looking at me with tears in his eyes, "it's alright" I said, "I made your this" he said unfolding a piece a paper. I read the piece f paper, it was the lyrics to "when I was your man" by Bruno Mars. "You deserve someone better than me. And I know Harry will treat you good" he said while getting up, "I guess I'll see you at school then" he tried to smile and walked away. That was pretty sweet of him to have made me that note, but I found it kinda creepy how he had it with him in his pocket all the time. Unless he was stalking me and just waned to give it to me today. Well that was even creepier. I noticed the popular girls leaving, most of them shoot me a evil eye, except for Anja. She was really nice, we've been friends since the seventh grade. But she became popular and I went my own way. But we still kept in touch we hung out a couple times but she'll always text me, we were like texting buddies but when it came to school it will just be a couple Hellos once in awhile. I gave a quick glare to some of the girls, but I quickly changed my expression to smile at Anja. I saw William give me small wake, I waved back trying to be nice. I didn't want to forgive William, but he tried and he seemed so sorry. And he was usually a caring loving guy. I scanned the cafe looking for no sign of her what so ever, did I scare her away or something?

Linda's P.O.V:

I jumped into my car, it was about 2:45pm. I just hoped and prayed to god that Gabby was still there. Yes we didn't exchange names but. I need to tell her something very important. I've waited for this days for over eighteen years. I never thought in a millions years that I'll meet her. I don't think she recognized me, but I know she saw my ring. It was here dad's ring, he gave it to me before he went away. I didn't know where he was exactly I couldn't remember since it been over ten years when I last saw him. I know I may look like I'm in my early twenties but I'm over a hundred years old. I didn't know if I should tell her right away. I know I needed to tell her soon, like tomorrow or even sooner, cause she needed my help and if I waited any longer something might happen. I walked inside the cafe, I tried to secretly scan the room, but right away me and Gabby made eye contact, I let out a small smile am so did she. I quickly grabbed a coffee and looked around for a table. Most of the tables were taken. I needed a excuse to talk with Gabby. I then noticed a group of girls looking. "How about you girls go spilt up and take a table each" I said hoping they would be dumb and fall for it. They all rolled there eyes at me and walked away. "Go spilt up and take a table each!" I said to all of them. They all went there own way and took a table each. This is why I loved having powers, I didn't need to do anything. It was so easy just to make people do things you wanted just by one look. "Is this seat taken?" I asked, she looked up at me with her brownish greenish eyes. "Umm yeah for sure" Gabby said with a smile. "Is that a good book?" I asked pointing to the cover, "yeah it's pretty good even though I'm only on the third chapter" she giggled, "isn't that a movie now?" I asked even though I knew the answer, "yep" she said. I pulled out my texts books and started doing some homework. I've done this class a billion times, I knew everything there was possibly to know about algebra, Mayans, Egyptians. Everything that you learn in college, I already mastered. Gabby looked at me couple times behind her book. "You look familiar" she said while putting down the book, "yeah cause we met yesterday" I laughed, "no I mean you just look so familiar" she said squiring her eyes to get a better look at me. Her eyes grew big as she started at my shoulder. I looked down and realized my tattoo was showing. My sweater fell off of my shoulder. I quickly pulled it up to cover it. "You tattoo, that's my birthday" she mumbled while taking a sip of her tea. She was catching on. She quickly took out her phone. I didn't know if I should say something. It was true my tattoo is her birthday. It was just written underneath a bird with a little heart beside the date. I wanted to tell her, I really did. But I just couldn't pull myself together to do it. Her eyes started at me, they went darken by the second. By now they were a dark dark brown maybe even a black. She blinked and looked away and kept blinking until her eyes went green again. "I'm sorry I gotta go" she said while packing her bag. "Wait!" I said grabbing onto her writs. Her eyes darted to my grip on her wrist. "Sorry" I said letting go of her wrist. She sat back down, with a scared look on her face. Se tried to hide her emotions by staring at me with a poker face. "Why do you have my birthday tattooed on your body?!" She yelled, "Why do you have my dad's ring?! I gave it to him before he died!?" She added. The words couldn't escape my mouth. I really wanted to tell her. But I don't think she could handle the truth. I knew she was strong and all. But I knew she was also very fragile. "I-Im you mother" I mumble while looking at the ground. "What?! No my mom is on a business trip!" She yelled, "she's you stepmother, I'm your birth mom" I said looking into her eyes. "I don't understand" she said with confusion. "I'm like you" I said reaching for her arm. She pulled away as her eyes sent me a glare. "I've been here for over a hundred years. I'm immortal. But I also have other powers, like I can compel people I can read minds of any age and I can be invisible" I said. Gabby didn't say anything she just stared at the ground. "You real father left to protect you. That's why we disappeared from your life. We gave you up at age 6 but we compelled you to forget and only remember your mom Christina" I said, "we only left to protect you from this. You dad was mortal, I thought if you didn't know about powers, you wouldn't discover them and this horrible world that comes with it. But I'm here to help you, I know what's going on with Demi. I can help" I said. "How do you know all of this?" Gabby said while looking up at me with tears in her eyes. "I've waited for years and years to help you. Plus I can read minds, I don't need t be near you or even see you to read your mind I just need to think of you" I said. "Why'd you chose to be in your twenties" she asked, "I'm the perfect size for clothes" I laughed. I saw a smile grow on her face. Gabby quickly looked at her phone. "I have to go now" she said picking up her bag and throwing it on her shoulder, "I'll meet you tomorrow?" She asked, "cause I still have many questions to ask you" she added, "yeah here's my number" I said writing my number on the napkin. "Bye gabby!" I said as I watched her walk to her car, she gave me a quick smile and wave before driving away.
