Gab's POV

Kring...Kring...Kring...Kring...Kring...Kring...Kring...

Ah...... Get up me you have to go to work today, its Saturday and you have a whole day at work.... Ergh

I get up from bed and took a shower. I wish I could just take a day off but its a critical time for the company right now and I need to be their in every way I can to keep the company going.

After I dress myself I went down to have breakfast, time check its 7:38 and unlike school days I can stay until 8:30. When I got there Alex is at the table while he plays with his iPod, "good morning, Alex" I greet him as I sit down.

"Morning, you were really up last night huh?, Jack said that you came home at 2:06 in the morning" his tone of voice was pretty cold but it still has a slight tone of concern. "Well yeah, it because the company need me right now, our two biggest investors back out from our contract and we need new investor that are large enough to help us but because of the company's state right now I hardly believe that someone will help us"

"There will be I know there is. So you don't need to push yourself very hard, plus I think your parents know about your situation. They called last night and said something" "what did they say" I asked. "Well your Mom just said that they won't interfere with any of your decisions but be sure to keep in mind that in the end you'll have to decided for yourself. Some thing like that" he drinks his coffee.

So mom and dad do know, and I bet they also want me to think things through before I make a decision. My mind and heart are fighting...

Mind you need this right, to prove to everyone that you are as good as your dad, plus this company is special to your family so why endure. If Claire says his nice and caring and that he can take care of you and the company, then why hesitate to do it plus no one is waiting out there for you..

Heart you can't rush off. Your still young and you can't get married in the age of 18, imagine what you'll feel. You can't marry someone you don't love, and you can't sacrifice your own happiness just for money and pride. Money can't make the world go round. Just think what Alex will feel.

Gab....

Mind Alex....Alex.....Alex... Is that all you can say heart, if money can't make the world go round then neither will Alex. Gab will only end up hurting if she takes that risk. she's not just going to lose the company but along with her parents, pride and her best friend

Gab....

Heart you might have a point but its worth risking because you can never say that you felt love if you never felt pain

Gab....

My heart and mind are fighting and arguing with each other, both have sense but no one is giving in.

Gab.... "Gab!" He said which broke my deep thought "w...what?" I said shockingly, "is there a problem, I've been calling you for a while now, you okay?" I swing my head to say no then I started eating.

There was deep silence between us, then something came inside my mind. "D...did mom tell you something or anything about the company other than that advice" I'll be hurting if Alex finds out about it. "No, nothing at all" he calmly said.

"Ah.. OK then" we had another silence but it was broken when he said something "but I do want to ask her something" he said with a serious tone. "What is it", I was shocked when he looked at me with serious eyes, his eyes had this feeling that he wants something from me and he wants it badly.

Gulp, "G....gab?" My heart is starting to beat really fast. "Y..ou were very closed to my mom........... Is there something that you.... Promised to her" my eyes widen "before she died".

I don't know what to say, does he know, but h..how other only Chelsea knows about my promise to auntie Lorain and even my parent has no particular idea about it, so how come he knows about it...

It took me sometime to answer him because he is really serious. "Um... W...well y..eah there is but" I can't speak properly, his just looking at my eyes and I can see his deep desire to know. "But... I can't tell you" he bow his head then he stood up, "why...can't you tell me...... I think I have every right to know what it is, despite being the son I'm also your best friend" with that he walked out.

His... His mad at me

I stood up to catch up to him, I grab his shoulders but he refuse, he looked into my eyes, if earlier I can see his desires now I can see his anger. He turned around and walked to the stairs but before he can I hugged him from behind and stopped him.

I knew this day is coming but I didn't expect it to be soon. I can't help it my tears just fell down, I'll have to tell him, but I can't tell him co'uz I promise aunt Lorain.

"A...Alex. Sfft I'm sorry but I really can't tell you" my tears just kept falling, "sfft sfft believe me I wanted to tell you for so long but I can't because its part of my promise and if I tell you I won't know how to face your mom anymore, sfft sfft I know I'm being too serious about this but believe me I'm scared of telling you co'uz every time I tried to I end up seeing aunt Lorain's smiling face when she asked me that promise" I burst out to tears.

We stood there until I felt his arms wrap onto mine then he releases it and turns to my attention. "Does it really mean to you" he sweetly said to me, I looked at him and I nod then he wiped my tears and then he smile "then if that's the case I won't force you anymore but I can't promise you that I'll stop figuring it out" I bow my head, its true that anytime soon he'll figure it out but I just hope that he won't know, not now.

I smiled a little then he Gave me a hug. Its true that he'll eventually know.

Why do problems keep falling and falling from the sky, when will it stop.

Heart this is a sign. That its time for you to make him feel that you love him.

My heart whispher to me.
