What is She Doing Here!

Chapter Fourteen: What is She Doing Here! (edited)

"Hey Gabriella, I need you he- what is she doing here!" I snap my head at my now open door and see a shocked Ali. She continues to walk into my room walking towards Isabella, I can see the fear in Isabella's eyes. I pounce up in front of Ali.

Ali, stop. She stops and stares at me.

"Are you serious right now, you want me to stop after all she has done. Who even are you!" She yelled in my face. Now she was starting to scare me.

Ali, please calm down. Your scaring me. She stopped giving Isabella the death glare and turned back to me.

She breathed in and out till she calmed down a bit. "Gabriella, what is she doing in our house?" she asked calmer.

She is p- It wasn't my business to tell. I turned towards Isabella.

She sat silently, "Well go on then why are you here Isabella?" She said her name with complete disgust.

"Um, I came ask Gabriella f-for help, b-because." She took in a sharp breath. "Because I am pregnant" Ali's face dropped. She ran out of the room and a few moments later we heard the front door slam shut.

Um, Isabella are you not telling me something? She shook her head no then hesitated. And nodded yes.

"I didn't tell you who the father is-" She stopped to see my reaction. I just went and sat back on the bed waiting for her to continue. "The babys father is..."

After she told me I didn't really know what to 'say'. So that's why Ali's face dropped, and she left? She nodded her head.

After talking for a little longer I showed her to the guest room. Once she was settled in, I walked downstairs, just as the doorbell rang.

I opened the door and Conner and Ali were standing there. Ali avoided eye contact with me and just pushed past me as if I wasn't there. I waved at Conner and invited him in. He gladly accepted.

We sat on the couch and I told him about what went down, and what I was doing for Isabella. At first, he seemed mad, but then glad I was willing to still help after all she has done to us. We talked about random stuff and it just came up of crushes.

"So, do you have a crush on anyone?" Conner asked which caught me completely off guard. I nodded my head hiding my cheeks with my hair to try and cover the blush that has found its way onto my cheeks.

He laughed and lifted my chin and brushed my hair back. "Your cute when you blush, don't hide it."

Do you have a crush on anyone? He thought for a moment and shrugged.

"I mean maybe. I am not sure yet. I don't want to like her, and she not feel the same way you get what I mean." I just nod my head.

We decide to lay down and watch Scare its an amazing horror film. Although if you ask me its not scary enough. At some point I fell asleep in his arms.

Conner's P.O.V

When Gabriella told me about Isabella I didn't know how to feel. I couldn't be mad because that just shows how kind of a heart Gabriella has. But then I felt anger towards Isabella for causing a fight between Ali and Gabriella.

After we lay down and start watching Scare I can hear Gabriella's breathing even out and of course she is asleep. She is cute when she is sleeping. "She likes you. You know." I turned towards the sound of the voice. Sure, enough its Isabella. I nodded.

"I really like her, but I doubt she actually feels the same way about me." I look at her and she gives me a small smile.

"Isabella, who is the father of your baby?" Her smile fades. And she faces me.

"It was Ali's ex..." I give her my full attention. She already should have known he didn't want anything to do with her let alone the child she is carrying.

I grab her hand for a small amount of comfort. And she gives me a small smile. "Conner whatever you do. Please don't hurt Gabriella she is different when she is around you. Full of light and excitement." She walked back upstairs and to her room.

I know what I feel for Gabriella is much stronger than some friendship. And I am not going to say something cheesy like she is going to be mine, and I will get what I want. But, in all honesty she is one of the most beautiful girls I have ever met. And she brightens any room that she walks into. Its incredible the kind of power she has. Even if she doesn't talk, her actions speak louder than words ever could.

I feel my eyes start to get heavy and before I know it, I am sleeping peacefully. With Gabriella in my arms. My Lunar. She has gone through too much for someone as sweet and selfless as herself.
