"Lori you need to do it!" Eli yelled.
"I can't... What if they-HE won't." Lori sighed and knocked on the door.
After a minute, Cassidy opened it and screamed. She tackled Lori to the ground and Cole came running out the front door throwing himself at Lori.
"Guys..." Lori was squished.
The rest of the gang came out and one by one they tackled Lori into a hug.
"Where's Gabe?" Kyle asked.
"He left for Corbin's." Will said.
Lori nodded and went inside followed by everyone.
"We are only here for her stuff, so don't get attached." Eli said bluntly.
Kyle smacked his head and Lori growled heading upstairs.
She opened the door and saw that everything was replaced.
"He threw everything out because it reminded him of Alex." Natalia said.
Lori nodded and went to the closet grabbing her things. She threw everything into her bag, considering she only had a few things here.
After half an hour she had everything and was ready to leave when a voice made her freeze.
"Lori." She turned and faced Gabe.
"Gabe-" He threw himself at her and crushed her in a bone-crushing hug.
When he pulled back, he kissed her hard. Lori tried pulling away, but his grip got tighter. She sighed and gave in. She kissed him back with everything she had. He laid her down, both naked, and slowly and passionately made love to her.

When Lori woke up, the sun was rising. She got up and cursed when her phone started going off.
"Just letting you know, you got 10 seconds to get your ass down to the car, or I'm leaving." Eli said.
She hung up and frantically put her clothes back on. She grabbed her bags and looked at Gabe on last time.
"I'm sorry..." She kissed him.
She started walking out, and grabbed Gabe's Batman hat before heading out. She bumped into a sleep walking David.
"Hush little baby, don't say a word, mamas gonna buy you a mockingbird." Lori crept her way down the stairs and out the door.
She ran to the car and threw her bags with Kyle. Eli drove off and she sighed leaning against the window.
"So, you wanna tal-"
"No." Eli nodded and turned on the radio.
Lori held back the tears and closed her eyes. Blocking out the image of him waking up without her, the way she had for weeks.
