Kate p.o.v (continued)
I thought about yesterday and the way his eyes darkened when I said get over it. And it scared me honestly. Maybe there is a side of Gabe I didn't know. And I wasn't sure if I wanted to. I wore my black skinny jeans and white b-neck. I put on my converse and and put my hair and pony tail. I decided to ride with Bel and Jake to school. Once in the car I decided to ask him.
"Jake, how angry does Gabe get?" He froze and slammed on the brakes and pulled over. He turned around.
"Why? Did he hurt you? Where?" He was throwing questions at me.
"NO Jake calm down. He didn't hurt me. I just wanted to know." I whispered the ending
"Why the sudden interest?" He asked.
"When he got mad yesterday his eyes darkened and I wanted to know okay I am sorry." Jake closed his eyes and sighed.
"He used to box, but he got kicked out when he got into a fight and he let his anger get the best of him."
"Was he okay?"
"Oh yeah of course Gabe was fine, the other guy not so much."
"How bad?"
"Maybe he will tell you."
''Hey Kate can you come over later and help me with my routine for dance?'' Bel asked me. I nodded and smiled at her.
''Of course girly.'' I gushed at her making her laugh. The tension in the car slowly fading.
We pulled up at the school. I got out and went to my locker. I was pulling out my notebook when I felt to arms wrap around me. He kissed my cheek. I smiled.
"Why did you skip the car ride this morning?"
"No reason just wanted to see Bel and Jake." I lied. I felt bad I just didn't want him to be angry.
"Okay." He stood up from leaning on me. I closed my locker door. He grabbed my hand and he walked me to class.
"Everything okay?" He asked
"Yeah, just thinking."
"About?"
"The story I'm reading." Damn I lied again.
"Alright, I'll see you at lunch." He pecked my cheek and I walked into class. I didn't mean to lie I was just unsure how to bring it up without making him angry. Soon it was lunch and Gabe was waiting outside my class. I put my stuff in my locker and walked to the lunch room with Gabe. Everyone looked at us, but it was nothing new.
"You seem really quiet is there something wrong?"
"Gabe can I ask you a question?"
"Sure."
"Why haven't we talked about your past?"
"I don't know, what do you want to know?"
"Why you never told me that you used to box?" His body tensed and he looked down. Maybe I should of brought that up a different way. It just slipped out.
"Who told you that?" His voice deep and he almost whispered
"It doesn't matter. How bad did they get?" I whispered as I closed my eyes.
"Leave it alone Kate." He growled I looked up and his eyes were dark.
"Why?"
"Leave it." He yelled and everyone grew quiet and he got up and stormed out of the cafeteria. I buried my head in my hands. I felt a hand on my back I looked up to see Jake. He wiped the tear off my cheek. Which only cause more to come. I stood up and shook my head I buried my head in his shoulder and just cried. He led me out to the parking lot to see Gabe speed off. I let a sob escape my lips. Jake held me close.
