Always and Forever

17 - I Support You

Gabriel stares at Indiana and Pedro, he doesn't say anything, he just stares at them with confusion.

Indiana stares at her dad, trying to figure out what he is thinking. She can usually tell exactly what she is thinking just by looking at him, but for some reason, she can't.

Pedro looks at Gabriel, then at Indiana, then back at Gabriel before he speaks.

"Um, I'm gonna go, I'll let you two talk this out." He said as he started to walk down the stairs.

"Wait." Indiana said, grabbing Pedro's hand.

Gabriel looked down at their hands and in one quick motion, he grabbed Pedro and threw him against the wall, making Indiana let out a small yelp.

Gabriel held onto Pedro by the neckline of his shirt. He didn't say a single word, he just stared at Pedro with a mad look on his face.

Indiana quickly started pulling Gabriel' arm, trying her hardest to get him off of Pedro, but he wouldn't budge.

"Dad get off of him! He didn't do anything wrong!" She yelled.

Gabriel's kept his eyes on Pedro. His face grew more angry looking the more he looked at him.

Indiana kept pulling at her dad's arms, hoping that he would just let go of Pedro, but when she didn't she decided to try something else.

She ducked underneath Gabriel's arm and stood in front of him.

She stared into his eyes for a second before saying in a soft voice. "Daddy, please."

Gabriel's face immediately softened and his arms fell down to his sides.

Gabriel just stared at Indiana until she spoke again, "Lets go inside and talk about this."

Gabriel nodded and the three walked into the house.

Indiana and Pedro sat next to each other on the couch while Gabriel was sitting in the chair across from them.

"Dad, Pedro and I have been seeing each other for almost six months now. And I know I should have told you much sooner, I just didn't know how you would react." Indiana said, looking at Pedro and giving him a soft smile.

Indiana looked at Gabriel who was staring at the ground with his hands in his lap, not saying anything.

Indiana continued, "I don't want you to be hurt by this, but I am twenty, so I can make my own decisions, and this is a decision that I am sure about." She said, "I am so happy, dad, I haven't been this happy in a while. So please, tell me you support this because I really need you to."

Indiana stared at Gabriel, waiting for him to say something. When he finally looked up from the ground, Indiana's heart started pounding in her chest.

Gabriel stood up and looked at Indiana, "I have to go." He said before grabbing his coat and walking out the front door.

"Dad, wait." Indiana said as she started to stand up, but Pedro grabbed her arm.

"Just let him go. He needs to take in everything." He told her.

Indiana sat back down and yawned, making Pedro let out a breathy laugh, "are you tired Corazon?" He asked her.

Indiana nodded, "yes." She said as she laid her head down in Pedro's lap, slowly dozing off.

Indiana woke up when she heard a car pull into her driveway. She was laying on Pedro with her arms around his neck, his arms were wrapped around her waist as he was dead asleep as well.

When Indiana realized what was happening she quickly sat up, waking up Pedro.

"What happened? What time is it?" He asked as he rubbed his eyes, trying to wake himself up.

"We fell asleep." Indiana said with a freaked out voice.

Pedro slowly sat up from his laying position. He yawned as he took his phone out of his pocket, checking the time.

It had been a couple of hours since Gabriel left, and he was finally back.

When he walked in the door, Indiana stood up and looked at him. Gabriel looked at her, then down at Pedro.

He walked into the living room and stood next to Indiana, putting his arm on her arm, he spoke, "I'm sorry I left. I just needed to think. And I support you, I will always support you, no matter what."

Indiana looked at him and smiled, pulling him into a hug, she spoke, "thank you, dad."

When they pulled away, Gabriel nodded and looked at Pedro, then back at Indiana, "I just want you to be happy. He told her.

"I am." She said back to him.

Gabriel smiled, and hugged Indiana again, when they pulled back he looked at her with a fatherly grin, "why don't we all watch a movie?"

Indiana smiled and nodded, "that sounds good." She said to him.

Gabriel looked at Pedro, and Pedro spoke, "a movie sounds great."
