GABRIELLA ELISE MENDOZA POV

"Abi, wait!" I chased after her as I quickly left the restaurant. I almost ran after her where her car was parked, I was afraid I might not be able to catch up with her.

"Let's talk, please!" I stopped her car and tried to talk to her.

"Please Abi!" My tears were falling begging her.

She got out of her car and faced me. I ran to her and hugged her. I know she loves me, I can feel it.

"Let me go, Gab" She said calmly and indifferently.I shook my head because I didn't want to let her go so she gently pushed me away.

"What else do you want us to talk about?" She said seriously.

"About us, I know you love me, please let's fix this" I cried while looking at her emotionless eyes.

"I don't want to hurt you even more Gab if I continue to pretend that I'm happy with the relationship we have" she said emphatically.

"Tell me, is there anyone else?" I asked directly while looking into her eyes.She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. I feel weak as if I don't want to hear her answer.

"Yes, so please stop chasing me" she said, returned to her car and quickly left.

I sat down weakly and couldn't stop the tears from my eyes. I didn't care if people were looking at me.

Why does this have to happen, you're all leaving me. What is wrong with me? I do everything to make the person I love stay. All the efforts I make are lacking.

I got up and got into my car. I don't know where I'm going, I don't want to go straight to my condo because I can only remember her in every corner of my room.Today is our 2nd year anniversary and then this happened. I gave everything, everything I could. If only I had known that this would happen, I would not have woken up.

I went straight to the bar to drown myself in alcohol because I knew it was the only thing that would save the pain I was feeling. I had just finished a few bottles of beer when suddenly someone grabbed it from me.

"That's enough!" She said firmly, I looked at her.

"What are you doing here, isn't your wife looking for you?" I asked her and grabbed the bottle from her hand.

"Fyi! We owns this bar, you forget it?" She grinned and opened the bottle and took a sip.

"Tell me, are you okay?"The concern is obvious in her voice.I just shook my head and continued sipping wine. I got used to having only myself to sympathize with all the problems. I don't want to be a burden to others.

"I know you Gab, you won't come here if you don't have chaos in your mind. You have school tomorrow. You're not the type to get drunk because of your acads. You're a top student."She really knows me.

"What are you doing here if you know there is school tomorrow?" I asked her, she is my classmate and one of my best friends.

"Hmm, my wife called cause she saw you drowning in alcohol and your bratty sister called me because she was worried" I just sighed when I heard that my sister were worried.

"It's better for you to go home because I know they're mad at you, I'll take care of this" Good thing I have a friend like this. I stood up and was about to walk when she grabbed my arm.

"You owe me a story" I just nodded and walked out of the bar.

I quickly reached home, it was almost dawn and I didn't realize the time, my whole body was numb and dizzy.The surroundings are quiet and the lights inside the house are off, maybe my sisters are already asleep. I got out of the car and went to the door. I took a deep breath before opening the front door good thing I have a spare key otherwise I might be sleeping in the car tonight.When I closed the door, the light turned on and my sister appeared sitting on the sofa waiting for me.

"What time is it?" She asked me rudely as if you thought she was the oldest of the two of us.I raised an eyebrow at her because I didn't like her tone.

"I'm not a kid anymore, Avery" I answered this with emphasis and walked to the kitchen to drink water when I felt it she's following behind me.

"Callie saw you earlier, kneeling and begging. She was so angry that she almost attacked your girl," she said calmly, which shocked me. I faced her and couldn't stop the pain I felt, my tears began to flow, I didn't want them to see me begging because I'm the oldest, I don't want them to think I'm weak. Ever since our parents left us, it's been just the three of us together.

"She left me" I said softly while crying. She came to me and hugged me while rubbing my back.

"Don't worry about her, Callie and I are here, we will never leave you" She said while sobbing, I hugged her tightly.

"Ehem" I looked at the door and saw Callie cross armed and looking at us.

"I told you, she's not worthy of your love" she said seriously and raised an eyebrow at me.

Why are the sisters you gave me so bratty, Lord?

Out of the three of us, Callie is the fiercest and most protective of us since we were kids even though I am the oldest of the three siblings.

She came to us and hugged us tightly.

"We love you berry" I laughed because they knew I didn't want to be called a berry.

"Don't cry, you're getting ugly " Avery joked. I wiped my tears and laughed and hugged them tightly.

"I love you two, my little dumplings" and kissed their heads.

"Why are you still awake, don't you have school tomorrow?" I asked them and they looked at me, here they are, they are the only ones I feel like scares because of theirs deadly stare.

"We are waiting for you" They crossed their arms at the same time, which made me laugh and mess up their hair. "Sorry, okay? I just had a drink at the bar with Dayne" I quickly answered them.

"Berry, Ice cream" Avery caressed that you thought it was a child and she was also wooing the child.

"Okayyy"

We ate ice cream together, teasing, laughing that you thought we didn't have school tomorrow. I know our parents are also happy because they raised us well before they passed away.

I am thankful for my sisters who never left me even when I distanced myself from them.

I'm Gabriella Elise Williams , and this is my story.
