Isabella, a girl in her third and last year of high school is being put on a blind date by her parents. She was told that she 'is of age' since she turns 18 soon, and needs a partner. The man she meets is older, but, will he treat her well or will h...
I have worn the dress sir Gabriel gave me and i made my hair a little wavy-like.
Sir Gabriel said he will pick me up from my house so I won't tire myself with the heels.
He is caring..
I hear a Car horn outside and I know it's him.
I say bye to my mom and dad as they will go to work soon too and leave the house.
I see sir Gabriel outside, waiting beside his car.
He looks handsome in this suit,

He complimented me and opened the passenger door for me.
He told me that sir Jason was nervous because he was meetings ellie today for the first time, I'm sure she is too. I barely keep myself from laughing at the thought of her.
We arrived and he told me to hold his arm, in case I trip or something.
I wrap my hand in his arm, his arm is muscular and strong.
We walk inside and i felt some eyes on us.
A while later ellie and sir Jason arrived. They looked like a beautiful couple but I didn't say it.
The prom night went well, I had a lot of fun. Me and ellie danced and drank a cocktail. I'm not a big fan of alcohol but I can still drink.
Sir Gabriel was always near me, I felt like I had a bodyguard but I think it's his way of saying 'be careful' or 'I'm here in case something happens'.
Around 12pm sir Gabriel drove me back home and I thanked him for today. He seemed happy to be there too. He said that talked with sir Jason and his time passed fast.
I bid farewell and he drove off and I entered my house. Mom and dad are still working till early morning. I went to the kitchen to drink some water.
As I had the cup in my mouth and drank water, I heard a noise from behind me.

Gabriel's POV
I had fun tonight, not because i was somewhere with alcohol and music. But because I was with a beautiful lady.
I stayed close so no boy would do anything inappropriate, although a few talked with her, they didn't do anything. Even if they tried they wouldn't last.
I drove isabella back to her house and waited till she went inside before starting to drive back to my house.
5 minutes passed and my eyes go to the passenger seat and I see her bag.
Did she forget it?
I make a u turn and drive back.
I park my car near her house and take her bag, I walk towards the front door when I heard a scream.
Isabella?
I walk fast to the front door and knock.
No answer,i heard a bang. Something broke.
I try to open the door and it was locked. I look around for any windows or Patio door. I see an open window and walk over.
I look inside and see isabella on the floor, on top of her is someone, holding her mouth shut and holding her hands together.
"oi!" I yell and jump inside.
I was late as the man let her go and run to another window and left.
I ran to isabella that is now crying.
"it's ok... It's ok"
I hug her, keeping her close.
Her body is trembling, gosh... She must have been so scared.
"I'm here, its ok"
I gently rub my hand on her back in circles.
She moves closer and hugs me tight
"i-I was so scared..."
"i know... I know.."
"i thought... He would do something... -"
"shh, it's all over... Don't worry"
I kept rubbing her back gently to calm her down.
A while later she had calmed down. Her breathing stable and she stopped crying.
"please.... Don't leave... Stay here.."
I look at her, my eyes softening
"i wont leave. I'll be here"
I look around the house, a broke glass was near us on the floor. Two windows are open, the one I entered and the one the man left through.
"Can you go and change? I promise, I won't leave. I'll clean the mess up"
She nodded her head slowly and I helped her stand up. I watched her walk upstairs, probably where her room is.
I cleaned the broken glass and closed the windows. I locked the door and sat on the living room couch.
My thoughts were to two things.
Who was that man? And... If I hadn't seen the forgotten bag... What would have happened?
I hear her footsteps on the stairs and turn around.
She is wearing pajamas. She walked over and sat beside me.
"are you alright?"
She nodded her head slowly again. Her eyes are pink from crying earlier.
I looked down at my hands. I wanted to punch than man... I don't want to see isabella like this. She is too pure and young.
I felt her head leaning on my arm, I looked over and she has her hand around mine, like saying 'don't leave me'
I rubbed gently her hand with my thumb.
We stayed silent. Just... Having each other's company was enough in this moment.
"isabella... Can i tell you something?" I spoke gently
I heard her soft hum, signaling me to continue.
"Do you want to marry me? I know that... We only know each other for a week, and that I'm older... But, something inside me tells me that I want to marry you, to protect you and love you. I want to be there for you and care for you..."
I stayed silent... Waiting for her answer as I looked down at my hands.
She removed her head from my arm and looked at me. I looked at her back.
She was looking at me and thinking.
was i too forward?
She looked me in my eyes and said....

I've never been to a prom so I hope it at least matches a bit.
Isabella drank a nonalcoholic cocktail since she is still 17!
