"This is why we never get As on our science projects." Anna sighed fixing her hair.
"Are you complaining?" Gabriel raised an eyebrow pulling his sweater vest back on.
"You're so evil." Anna laughed kissing him.
"And you're so cliché. You're a brain trapped in the body of a game-show hostess."
"Are you never going to stop teasing me about that?" Anna scoffed crossing her arms.
"Don't get mad, I'll have to play a radio at you're window." Gabriel begged as Anna mocked even more anger.
"Angela how are things going in there it's eleven fifty three?" A fatherly voice questioned as the door cracked open.
"It's okay; I'll finish it this time." Anna whispered as they both moved from her bed.
"M-Mr. Viti." Gabriel nodded when walking out of her room.
"It's a little late to be walking around this late. I'll take you home." 'Mr. Viti' offered placing his hand on Gabriel's shoulder.
"I th-think I'll walk."
"Don't be silly dad. I'll drive him. It's only a few blocks and if I get caught we can always call your brother-in-law." Anna smiled snatching her dad's keys and dragging Gabriel outside.
"I thought you frowned upon corruption and that particular branch of your family." Gabriel mentioned when they were in the car.
"I have a cousin around our age that isn't so bad, and the other one's like a brother. Besides, I almost passed the test the last time I took it. You want to drive still?"
"Let's just walk."

"Gabriel we need to talk." Anna said solemnly avoiding eye contact.
"What is it?" Gabriel questioned with concern in his voice.
"My parents are sending me to live with my aunt and uncle." Anna told him looking down.
"Why? They can't just send you away like this." Gabriel reasoned grabbing Anna's shoulders.
"Well they are sending me away. Because… because I made a mistake." The blonde girl broke down his logic with her voice breaking.
"Are they sending you away because of me?"
"No. It's my fault. Please don't feel like you had anything to do with this Gabe."
"I love you Anna. You make me happy."
"Gabriel don't make this harder than it is. Just remember something good is happening right now. Good things always happen with bad things. You have to deal with them at the same time, but I just don't know why they have to happen at the same time." Anna tried to smile only bringing more tears.
"There are times to quote movies and now is not the time. This is serious." Gabriel turned away from her.
"You think I don't know that? I am trying so hard not to run into your arms right now. This shouldn't be happening to us." Anna murmured swallowing a lump in her throat.
"It's okay. We can still see each other. You're aunt and uncle live right here in New York." Gabriel rationalized turning to stare into brown eyes that seemed to be wrapped with gold. "I love you Angela."
"We can't see each other. My father won't allow it. He knows that we've gone farther than we should have. Gabriel I love you so much and you're the most special person in my world but my uncle could cause trouble for you." She was wringing her hands now. "I am so pathetic."
"Don't leave me. Things with my parents are getting worse. My father wants me to be a watch repairer like him and my mother she's-"
"I love you Gabriel." The sky opened up and cried for them. "This is pretty ominous, huh?"
"Goodbye in the rain is a sign of good things to come."
A limo had showed up somewhere in their conversation and the driver was honking impatiently. "Brutal Youth, track four. I'll listen to it everyday until we meet again."
"Angela Viti the third, I'll miss you."
"Shut up Gabriel." Anna ordered pressing her head against his.
"Gabriel don't change. Don't become one of the unworthy." Anna whispered turning to the waiting vehicle.
"I promise." Gabriel whispered back, standing in the same spot until the limo was out of sight and he was drenched.
