Fix You

The next day Gabb tagged along with Ella, Frances and Jaydee as they will help for the preparations for the fiesta which the two younger girls cannot stop bragging about.

"Kaya ate every year umuuwi ako dito sa isla para din dito sa fiesta kasi I promise you ate it's super fun!" Gabb was with Frances and Jaydee making some flowers that they will put around the covered court where some of the activities will be held.

"Baka sa sobrang fun ng fiesta dito every year na akong nandito." She stated earning a huge smile from the two.

"Bakit every year lang? Hindi ba pwede ate na every couple of months?" Jaydee asked. "Halimbawa every two or three months nandito na." Gabb's eyes landed to Ella who is speaking with one of the barangay official.

"Pwede din naman." She answered her eyes never leaving Ella. Frances noticed Gabb looking at something or someone, she followed where the latter is looking to see that it was Ella that she's looking.

"Ganda ni ate Ella no?" She asked, Gabb unknowingly agreed making the younger girl and even Jaydee to smile. Gabb finally absorbed the question of the younger girl and her answer. Instead of changing her answer as she was caught staring at Ella she just shamelessly praised Ella more.

"Sobrang ganda." She said smiling widely while working in the paper flower. "In fact I asked her about being my muse for my exhibit." While working on the paper flowers Gabb told Frances and Jaydee about her idea for the theme with of course she thought would suits Ella. As they are busy with their task they heard someone called Ella's name.

"Ella!" Their head turns towards the direction of the voice to see two new comers, one is excitedly running towards Ella which Gabb thought the one who called the latter and the other girl just followed the excited girl, she thought the girl is familiar

"Akala ko hindi kayo darating." Ella said being pulled for a bone crashing hug which Gabb thought.

"Sino yung bagong dating?" The short haired girl asked her eyes never leaving them.

"Si ate Belle yung medyo maingay tapos si ate Ecka photographer din siya katulad mo." Frances said earning a nod from Gabb.

"Oo nga pala Belle, Ecka eto pala si Gabb." Gabb felt Ella's hand on her shoulders. She stopped what she is doing and greeted Ella's friends.

"Gabrielle Skribikin, pero Gabb nalang." Both Belle and Ecka take turns in shaking the short haired girl's hand.

"Actually si Gabb photographer din siya." Ella said and it seems that she's proud of the latter or just excited to tell Ecka about her new friend's line of work.

After the introductions, Ella invited Belle and Ecka to eat lunch with them back to their resort. Gabb and Ecka are talking about photography while Belle asked Ella about Gabb. As they arrived at the resort Belle immediately went to Ella's parents both hugging them, excited to see them again.

"Pag pasensyahan mo na si Belle." Ella nudged Gabb catching her attention. "Alam mo na baka maging feeling close sayo." Shaking her head she smiled. "Baka kasi every time na makikita ka niya eh yumakap sayo as a greeting."

"Okay lang yun." She said turning her head towards Ella who is already looking at her, her smile gets bigger resulting for the latter to smile back at her.

"So pano ka pala napadpad dito sa isla?" Belle asked as they eat lunch at the dinning hall of the resort looking at Gabb.

"Looking for inspiration." The short haired girl said. "I'm planning kasi of having another exhibit."

"Oh wow, so anong plan mo for the exhibit?" Ecka asked as she placed the shrimp that she shelled at Belle's plate.

"Well unang plan ko is to do my usual theme, just random shots of people, random shot of other stuff but this time I decided to have a muse."
