Chapter 3
As 2 weeks went by for Gabriella and Nessie, they were under a red alert. There was a big hurricane and a blizzard arriving. The hurricane is a 4 and when it comes inland, it will freeze, causing a blizzard. Gabriella and Nessie were walking home; they saw the storm and the wind picked up. As the wind blew, it moved Gabriella and Nessie a few feet from their original spot. Gabriella and Nessie are really underweight, and with Emma getting worse, it hurt both of them. Emma is abusing Gabriella more and Gabriella protected Nessie the best she can. Emma is now after Nessie as well.
"Mom, I'm scared" Nessie whimpered as they walked home faster.
"I know sweetie. Just another 5 minutes. We're almost there" the wind picked up more so it was harder for them to walk... well run. Once they arrived home, it was hard for Gabriella and Nessie to climb the steps. They saw Emma and Jake standing in front of the door, arms crossed.
"Go take the pool down..." Emma growled
"What pool?" Gabriella snapped. Gabriella had a bad day at school. She was picked on, bullied and her teacher hates her, "We don't have one!"
"Go clean the deck off!" Jake shouted
"Can't you see the hurricane is almost here!" Gabriella yelled back as she held herself and Nessie to the railing
"I DON'T CARE! JUST DO IT AND TAKE NESSIE WITH YOU!" Gabriella felt Nessie shiver from the cold
"What about I do it and Nessie goes inside" Gabriella whispered just enough for everyone to hear
"Fine, in the house Ness" Nessie nodded, kissed Gabriella's cheek and went inside close to tears.
As Troy got home from school, he knew Lucy was still mad at him. It has been 2 weeks and Troy doesn't care about Gabriella. Sure he loved her, but he is mad at her. She called him, she left him willingly and now after 3 years, she walks back into his life.
"I'm home!" Troy called as he walked into the house. Troy saw Lucy at the couch drinking coffee.
"I called her" Lucy whispered
"What?"
"I called Gabi. She's alive Troy. She's really alive" Troy saw Lucy smile, "She lives in Alaska, and there's a hurricane arriving there today" Lucy sighed, "Greg and Mrs. Hard got kicked out by Emma and Jake. Gabi said Jake is Mrs. Hard's husband. Jack is dead for saving Gabi. He died in front of her. Gabi wanted to die. She couldn't take the abuse any longer. But 3 years later, she's alive and well..." by that point the phone started to ring...
Nessie sat in her and Gabriella's room with the phone to her ear. She saw Gabriella outside and wanted the person to hurry up and pick up the stupid phone.
"Come on..." Nessie growled quietly
"Hello?" a girl's voice answered
"Hi, is Gabi's mom there?" Nessie asked. She asked Emma if she could play a game on her cell, and Emma said yes. She heard the TV blaring so she knew Jake and Emma wouldn't hear her. The door was locked and closed. Nessie and Gabriella came up with a secret knock so they could know if it's each other.
"Gabriella Montez' mom?"
"Yes"
"Well, I'm, Lucy Bolton and Gabriella calls me her mom"
"Ok, so I have the right number then" Nessie smiled. She remembered 2 years ago when Gabriella told her about Lucy.
"Is Gabi ok?"
"Yes she is... kind of"
"Kind of? What do you mean?"
"Well, my mom and dad are making her go out and clean up the backyard in a hurricane"
"Why?"
"Well, mom and dad and Gabi had a screaming match and because we were late"
"Oh no"
"Ya, so... uhm..."
"What's your name?"
"Nessie"
"How do you know Gabi?" Lucy asked nervously.
"I'm her half sister" Nessie answered.
How will Lucy react to talking to Gabi's half sister Nessie? Please review
