(Gabrielle's POV ; Two weeks later)

Two weeks. Two weeks since I talked to him. Two weeks since he had hugged me, kissed me... It has been the worst two weeks of my life. He had sent me text message, after text message, even called me multiple times, but I ignored it all. I can't get over what he did to me. I rolled over on my side, only to see it was only eight. What am I doing up so early? I groaned, and fell out of bed, grabbing my phone on the way down, causing a bunch of books to fall on me. "Ow..." Gee, I can already tell how this day is going to be. I walked down to the kitchen, and made mysef breakfast. As I slurped down cereal, my phone rang loudly. I looked at the screen; Rubiano House Phone. Jesus, this kid doesn't give up; does he? "Nick. Stop. Calling. Me. Can't you take a hint?!" I answered, practically screaming into the phone. "Gab, it's me." Mrs. Rubiano's voice came from the other line, making me blush. "Oh my gosh Mama Rubi I am so sorry..." I said. "It's okay." She laughed. "I was actually wondering if you could come babysit Jakey for me. I just need you for the morning, and besides Nick is out playing basketball at the gym." "Awe of course I will! I'll be over in fifteen." I said, chewing in the process. "Okay! Thanks sweetie, bye!" And with that, she hung up. I quickly ran upstairs and showered, and straightnened my hair. I threw on an outfit, and walked to their house. I knocked, and smiled at Jakey. "Hi cutie!" "GABBIE!" He jumped up on me, making me laugh, and squeeze him tight. "MOMMY GABBIE'S HERE!" Mrs. Rubiano smiled, and walked in. "Hi sweetie! Thanks again! I'll be back noonish. Jakey be good for Gabbie!" She hugged me and him, and walked out. I set Jakey down, and held his hand. "Okay bud, it's me and you because your brothers are sleeping. What would you like to do?" Jakey thought for a little while, and then smile up at me. "Spongebob!" I laughed, and we sat on the couch in the living room, and watching TV. "Jakey, do you want to know a secret?" I asked, rubbing his hair out of his face. "Yes!!!" He smiled. "You're my favorite Rubiano. But you can't tell your brothers; pinkie promise!" I smiled, and held out my pinkie. He linked pinkies with me, and tackled me with a hug. Behind us, I heard the door open. I held Jakey close, and sat up, only to see Nick walking in. I rolled me eyes, and turned my attention back to Jakey. "So, bud, what now?" "Well, Nick said I have to go upstairs when he comes home. Bye Gabbie!" He hugged me, and ran upstairs, leaving me and Nick alone. I stood up, and began walking to the kitchen, but Nick's voice stopped me. "Gab..." I rolled my eyes, and turned around. "What?" He didn't speak, he just fell to his knees, and started crying. I bit my lip, and looked at him. He's making it so hard to be mad at him...
