The boy in the hoodie (Gabe de Guzman fan fiction)

Chapter 23 ~ The get Ari plan in the process

Bailey's POV
Kaycee, sean and I were getting the money we needed for getting Ari a lawyer. We managed to get a good amount of money but not quite near the goal yet. Kayce and I wore our best bikinis, it did grab some guys attention which for sean made him quite pissed about it.

S:"Kayce put on your cardigan that your grandmother knitted for you."
He threw her the cardigan on her head.
Kay:"Are u kidding me? It's hot out here also you love me looking like this don't ya?" She skips towards him and gives him a full on kiss.
B:"Guys?! Let's not forget why we're doing this, third wheeling feels awkward." I pretend puke.
K:"Who said you were third wheeling?" He projected his voice as he wraps his arms around my waist.
I smiled turning around to see his handsome face with a peck on the lips.

B:"What took you so long with Jordyn? Did you guys make out?" I bombard him with questions.
K:"Hell no. She used Ari's fingerprint on the boxes and used these two guys to import fake documents to Tati, probably witness statements."

They gasped.

Kay:"Tati helped jordyn get Ari to prison? That would mean she would also go to prison for helping."
S:"Oh damn she does however we still need to go through with the plan otherwise jordyn will continue to ruin our lives."

B:"What are you guys not telling us?"
K:"Bai what are you talking about?"
B:"I mean, she hasn't entered into our lives until you guys came to be involved with us. She hasn't exactly ruined our lives."
S:"So you want Ari to stay in prison and rot in there?"
K:"She won't be in prison for long tonight she's getting taken away." He whispered to us.
B:"What do you me-"

A car beeped we looked over and there were a queue of cars waiting to be cleaned.

S:"We better get back to work, we've got a lot of customers to get through." We all signal for the car to come in while we are ready on our stations.

I know they're hiding something but I can't get what it is.

Gabe's POV
When I walked into my house, Julian and dad were watching the basketball game. I rolled my eyes at how excited they got when LeBron James shot and goaled, while I approached to the kitchen.

I grab the first aid kit, my knuckles were pretty fucked up. I bandage the knuckles and put the first aid kit away, Julian stumbles into the kitchen. Brushes his clothes out, acting like it never happened and I try to scramble my way out of here but he caught my wrist.

J:"What's up bro- Wait who did you punch this time? Don't tell me it was the creepy dude down the street cause I know you wouldn't beat up old people."
G:"It's a guy called Harvey helping Tati with the routine."I put emphasis on helping.
I took back my wrist with great force out of julians grip.
J:"Oh I smell jealousy and the "helping" I guess was kissing also you're getting a bit rosy bro. Admit you still have feelings for her."
G:"Only a tiny piece of me. The rest of me wants Arianna. She's my girl and I love her too much to let go."
J:"Whatever you say bro, now join dad and I otherwise be with Mr wuddles." He cooes mockingly, grabbing my whole body for a side hug.
G:"Fuck you, Julian." I pushed him off me, charging my way up the stairs into our bedroom.

30 minutes later

I was peacefully facing the wall thinking about what happened today, had Tati on my mind. Those thoughts disappeared when the door unlocked, surprisingly Tati came in without warning which made me miss the times we had together.
She smiled, I smiled.

T:"Uh hey, just came to check on you. I know it doesn't sound like me but doesn't hurt to care."
She approaches me gradually.
G:"Well I'm good but, you should be with Harvey, checking him out. He'll need it." I chuckle at the thought of his face, being cautious of tati's movement.
T:"Yeah I know. I miss our cute snuggling, your homemade campfires and being your dance partner all the time. I just miss us and it kills that you're doing some of this with someone else." She sat down next to me, with her hand creeping up to my hand. Laying it on top of mine.
G:"I do miss us Tati but we have to move on with our lives. We aren't the right fit for each other, we fight most of the time so it's quite unhealthy for a relationship. I've got Arianna to worry about and you've got Harvey."
T:"Gabe don't play with me, I saw the way you looked at us. You were jealous, that I had Harvey about otherwise you wouldn't have punched him.
So, let's just keep us a secret from now on also Ari doesn't have to know." She bit her lip, I was trying to resist the temptation so Tati decided to leave me dissatisfied by heading towards my ear.

T:"To think you could've had all of this, baby." She whispered in my ear then left without looking back.

She's mind-blowing sometimes however I think she's trying to manipulate me in some way as she's with Jordyn. I ain't falling for one of her tricks.

Arianna's the one and only one I want in my life right now and I'm happy she's in my life right now.

I get a text from sean saying that they've managed to raise the money for the lawyer and bought the lawyer who's gone to meet with her.

One more step to seeing her beautiful face.

Kenneth's POV
It's 10:30 pm and I'm walking with Will, Josh and Kida to Jordyn's house trying to convince them to bring her to Gabe's house instead of handing her over to Jordyn. Telling them the situation.

W:"I don't know man, I worked for her to get dosh and that's how I'm looking this fresh." He sorts his collar from his smart jacket.
Josh:"Plus I - We all promised to be loyal to her, well that's what it says in the contract with her."
K:"I know but Gabe's heart right now is quite shattered, help a brother out. Remember? Bros before hoes."
Kida:"Bro we obviously respect the bro code. On the other hand, we'll 100% go to prison if they find out about who really had the drugs."
K:"Or we just leave her in the prison, letting her go through a trial that she didn't have to in the first place and could end up staying in prison for a long while." I say in a way to make them feel a lil guilt.
Josh:" Alright dude, you made your point."He lightly punched my arm.
W:"Wait a minute, you could just do what she says then call the police officer to go over to her house the next morning."
K:"That's...a pretty good idea. You're amazing bro, how could I ever repay you?"
W:"Gimme the hat that I wanted also to add to my collection of hats." He adjusts his hat.
K:"At Christmas."
W:"Deal." We shook hands into a bro handshake. Before we stepped foot into her house, we huddled in a group hug.

There could be a chance for her to survive.
