M O L L I E (Mollie's P.O.V)

Today was the day when I was finally getting released from this hell hole.

I finally get to meet everyone. Go back to school hang out with my friends and family. Meet Zach.

Talking about Zach. He didn't come visit me this morning. He usually always does. He's probably busy with something.

Right now I was packing my clothes and putting it in my duffle bag when I heard the door open.

"Roman can you please pick up my bag that's at the door." I said.

I didn't hear a reply so getting confused I turned around and was met with Gabriel's face.

"Gabriel? What the hell are you doing here?" I muttered shocked.

"Mollie. Look. I came here to apologize. I was being a total ass at your house. And I just wanted to say I'm sorry!"

I raised my hand to silence his 'speech'.

"Save it. I thought you were my actual friend. Why didn't you tell me you liked me?" I muttered the question that ruined our friendship.

"In kindergarten when I first came. You were the cutest girl I had ever seen. When I started hanging out with you, I thought it was a small crush. But when I left in 5th grade and went to London I realized that I liked you A LOT! So when I came back to Chicago I made my decision to talk with you. But before I came to your house I heard that you were dating this guy named Zach. And I just lost all the courage to tell you. I didn't want to end our friendship just for a little crush." Gabriel said. At the end tears were rolling down his face.

I wanted to hug him so bad but I didn't.

"Then why did you tell me 4 weeks ago?" I asked him.

"It slipped out." He whispered.

Tears were brimming my eyes too and I just grabbed him in for a hug.

"Gabe. You have to move on. I'm happy with Zach. And you should be happy with someone who can give you that happiness. And that someone isn't me!" I whispered pulling back to look at him.

He nodded his head and smiled.

"So does that mean we are besties again?" Gabe said excitedly.

"Friends!" I smiled.

He frowned but right away smiled again.

"Friends!" And he pulled me in for a hug.

I heard the door open and saw Roman and my mom holding Bella's stroller.

"Hey Mollie. You ready?" Roman said happily. But when he saw Gabe he was so close to pouncing him.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Roman growled.

"Roman. Calm down. He just came to apologize." I said quietly walking up to him.

Roman looked at me and I gave him a reassuring smile.

Without saying another word, he grabbed my bags and walked out the door.

"Mollie sweetheart. Let's go." Mom said.

"Gabe you want to come with us?" I asked him.

"If its alright with you ma'am?" He asked mom.

"Sure son. Of course you can!" Mom smiled.

She took Bella's stroller and walked out.

Once we got in the car. Roman sped to our house.

To say that the car ride was awkward is an understatement. It probably was my worst car ride ever.
