Broken In Reverse : New Stop

Chapter one:

Gabe's POV

It's so fucking hot I've always hated the summer. It makes me all sweaty & irritated. It doesn't help that my room is the same size as a jail cell not only that I lived with eight other people in a 3 bedroom one bathroom house. I shared the bedroom with my mother. I had the room during the day & she at night. My mother was 5'8 with wide hips & an Afro similar to mine hers was a dark shade of offset brown she had the perfect shade of brown skin with white specks in certain areas do to her skin condition. Her voice was light & playful with a stern undertone with light brown russet eyes & a genuine smile. She was the one who comforted me in this hell hole of a house. At night I slept on a Long couch it was raggedy with a couple of stains that would never wash away. And when you would sit it would sink. I didn't enjoy it but I didn't have much of a choice. I had a fan propped up in the window that my father bought me & my two little brothers.
I really didn't like anyone at home regardless of them being Family. They always seemed to find a way to piss me off even if talking to my little brothers trying to parent them as if they were their own. Since I didn't really like anyone I never would talk unless spoken to. I hid all day until my mom wanted to go to sleep of course then I'd have to leave the room & go to my couch but even then I still didn't talk I sat on the far end of the couch next to the window. Talking to the few friends I had. On messenger & text of course.

Skye and Omar were my best friends. I talked to them over the entire summer almost everyday. Went to meet up with Omar a couple of times. Had life goal conversations with Skye. They made me happy we had a lot in common.
We all had these abilities or gifts some people would say. I was a empath so far I had learned to use only a few of my gifts. I could emotionally and physically feel what others were feeling. Which was a pain at times not always being able to differentiate between what I was actually feeling & someone else was. It actually was a big part of why I didn't like my house besides there being little privacy. Everyone felt sad or angry most of the time. My other gift was seeing things other people couldn't like shadow people ghost dead animals. I could also feel & see past events if what had happened was extreme or serious. When I was younger I could smell & see smoke everywhere I ran out of the house screaming thinking there was a fire until I opened my eyes again realizing everything was normal & I made a complete fool of myself scaring everyone. It had turned a little while before we moved to the house there was a Fire that spread to our house from the house next to us. My other gift was Manipulation like changing people's thoughts emotions making people believe that they were drowning. I'd only done it a couple of times to make sure I could actually do it I used it on my little brother making him believe he was covered with bugs. It worked very well he woke up screaming & yelling ' Get them OFF ME BURN THEM PLEASE' his voice was filled with terror. I would have felt bad if only he hadn't broken my headphones early that day.

Skye she could steal or give energy draining practically the life out of anything If wanted, plants, trees, animals, people. She also had this knack for healing things making them better. She once told me that she moved things without touching them I quote 'like teleporting shit from room to room'.

Omar and Skye had never met each other surprisingly they only heard about one another through me telling stories about them.

My phone started ringing it was Skye. I look at in a disbelief Skye never calls she usually just blows up my phone with text. I pick up my phone answering slowly. " Hello". I hear her unsteady breathing on the other line before she even speaks I feel. A blanket of joy mixed with anxiety cover me . "GABRIEL GUESS WHAT JUST HAPPENED"!? " Calm down Skye! You're making me nauseous" Her excitement mixed with her & my already preexisting anxiety was to much to handle all at once. " NO I CAN'T PAPAYA JUST CALLED ME I GOT THE FREAKING JOB"! " That's cute " I say in a sassy tone being sarcastic. " Don't be mad at me because I got a second JOB before you" she ends with a giggle it was infectious, laughing I reply " must have slept with the hiring manager huh? "
After all it was her boyfriend, Dave he was a Tall white guy brown hair & cheeky smile I guess he was cute but he just seemed normal to me him & Skye had been dating for 8 months now. " shut up gabe your just mad because Danny hasn't been giving you any " she replies back sharply. "By the tone in your voice seems like you aren't getting any either". she burst into laughter " yeah but I'm choosing to you're just not getting any ". She was right I hadn't seen Danny in a week he was supposed to be coming over tonight.  Danny was 6'3   with blonde hair styled so he could put it in a man bun if he chose. He had an amazing Jaw line with Defined muscles. We had been dating for about two months but we knew each other for about 5 years. Just never did anything because Danny didn't know if he was gay or straight.  After he realized he was Bi we started dating. He was Cool  his voice was Deep his smell was so unique it was a mixture of pine honey  and Lenin. My family knew nothing about me and Danny's relationship they  wouldn't approve at all. Not that I'm some love struck closet case torn between the love of my life & being something my family wanted. The truth was I didn't give a shit. I wasn't close with any of them expect for my mother she was my only friend for my entire life until Skye & Omar showed up.
" Hello GABRIEL"!?
" Hello SKYE "
" Um The hell are you doing"?
" Sorry I started thinking"
" About what"?
