Not Our Parents

Chapter Twenty One

Aubriee

Gabbie hasn't been talking to me and honestly I could care less anymore. I tried to be a good friend but her loss. Noah and I have been flirting with each other and he has bought me quite a few presents. Today in school he was acting really weird and it bothered me. Noah was usually calm and laid back in, but today he was on edge. He pushed me away when I came near him.

We haven't done anything. I know better than that. I would never have sex with a guy so soon in the relationship. That's where Gabbie fucked up. But that's all on her.

After school I stopped at Wawa and got a salad and a drink on my way home. When I got home I greeted my mom and dad then went upstairs to do my homework. On my bed there was a pink box with a black bow wrapped around it. I opened it and found a bracelet with my birthstone and initials. I smiled and texted my daddy thank you. My actual father, not my boyfriend. Well, I guess you could call Noah my boyfriend.

"Like it princess?"

My dad asked as he stood in my doorway.

"I love it daddy. Thank you."

He smiled widely.

"Anything for my princess."

I smiled and he walked away. I put the bracelet with the others and laid down on the bed to start my homework.

Sent;

Excuse me?!

Received;

Noah;

This isn't gonna work. I betrayed my sister.

I screamed loudly.

Sent;

Since when do you care about that smutt??

Received;

Noah;

Dammnn, didn't know you were like that. Wait till Gabbie's home from the hospital, I guarantee you won't call her a smutt to her face.

I threw my phone at the wall and tossed the books to the floor.

I officially hate the Brooks' family.

Gabbie

The next day my doctor said I could be released and go home, but I'm so nervous too. I don't wanna go back to school and face him. I was packing my stuff up in the room and sighed. I heard the door open slowly and close quickly. I figured it was my mother or father so i shrugged it off.

"I'll be done in a few minutes. The doctor said he'd be in soon to say by-"

I stopped talking when I turned around and found Vinny.

"What are you doing here?"

I asked quietly.

"What happened? Why are you in here?"

He asked frantically.

"OH, so now you care?"

I asked and crossed my arms.

"Don't start G."

"Don't call me G, you aren't my friend or family."

I said harshly. He rolled his eyes and sat on the chair.

"Why are you here, Vince?"

"To see you. After Elijah, Noah and Teagan beat the fuck out of me I thought I'd come to you and find out why. "

"The three of them didn't hit you, just Eli. And I don't think it's any of your business."

"Well, I kind of think it is since he beat me up because of you being in here. Why are you here Gabriella?"

He asked sternly. I looked down at the floor and the tears formed but i refused to let them fall down my face.

"Ever hear of a condom Vin? It's rubber, covered in lubricant and spermicide? It covers your dick when you have sex?"

"What are you getting at Gabriella?"

"I had a miscarriage.."

I said quietly, refusing to look at him.

"The fuck does that have to do with me- oh."

He said softly.

"How far along were you?"

He asked quietly.

"Why do you care?"

I snapped.

"CAUSE IT WAS MY FUCKING BABY."

Noah

We heard yelling from inside G's room and we all froze. I clenched my fists and opened the door roughly. I found Vin and Gabbie standing there. She was looking at the floor and he was staring at her. I heard my dad exhale deeply.

"I think you need to leave."

He said sternly and Vin walked out of the room. My mom hugged Gabbie and G rolled her eyes.

"Mom, I'm fine."

"I know."

My mom replied as she held her tighter. My dad rubbed my moms back and sighed softly.

"Let's go home."

My mom said quietly and I grabbed Gabbie's suitcase.

The ride on the elevator was silent. G grabbed my hand and gently squeezed. I looked over at her and she smiled slightly.

"thank you."

She mouthed and I nodded in response. She held her stomach and the elevator bell dinged. The walk to the car was silent, and so was the drive to Chipotle. My mom insisted we stop because it's her favorite Mexican restaurant. I got a bowl with chicken, white rice, mild salsa, sour cream and cheese. Gabbie got the same, just with steak. My dad had a burrito with steak and chicken, my mom I wasn't sure of. We sat at a table and began to eat.

"So how's Aubriee , Noah?"

My mom asked as she took a sip of her soda. Great. G shot me a look and I rolled my eyes.

"How should I know?"

I asked as I shoved my fork into my mouth.

"Doesn't matter to me."

I said as I began to chew my food. My mom turned her nose up at me and her lips curled.

"That's disgusting, Noah. Chew with your mouth closed."

My dad scolded with a mouth full of food. Gabriella put her hand over her mouth and tried to hide her laughing. My mom sighed loudly.

"I live with a herd of pigs."

My mom said as she ran a hand down her face. Gabbie giggled.

"Your telling me. AHAH!"

She said pointing to my father, who was literally shoving his burrito down his throat. He noticed our stares and stopped. He looked at the three of us, mouth full of food.

"What?"

He asked and my mother groaned.

Danni

"So what color crib?"

My mom asked.

I took a spoonful of my ice cream and smiled. "I was thinking dark cherry."

She smiled widely, "I'm so excited." She squealed.

Me too mom, me too.
