"Kali calm down!" Gabriel shouted.

Kali narrowed her eyes, "You can't tell me to calm down. Especially after lying to me!"

"I never lied!" he said a little quieter.

"No, you just forgot to tell me!" She yelled.

"I didn't know then. Things happen, people change!"

"Did you ever once think of me? I thought you were the one! God was I stupid."
Gabriel swallowed hard, "I was thinking about you. I don't love you like you want me to. I'm doing this to make you happy!"

"Well this isn't making me happy." She snapped.

Gabriel's mouth dropped open, "What about that guy you kept going out with. Shouldn't I be upset about that?"

"Who, Baldur? At least he takes me out after work. What did you ever do?"

"I did everything for you!"

"Don't turn this against me! You are the reason I went out with him! You are a disgusting heartless, bastard!"

"Excuse you?" he snapped.

Kali sneered at him, "I can't deal with you right now!" She yelled and stormed out of his apartment leaving the door open behind her.

Gabriel closed the door, and sank to the floor, his head in his hands. That wasn't how he wanted that to go. He thought Kali of all people would understand. Of course they were broken up now, and that's what he wanted all along.

They were loud, really loud. Sam could hear them yelling from his bedroom, word for word causing Socks to bark at the walls. He wanted to comfort Gabriel the second he heard Kali start yelling. His kind nature he supposed, because he honestly didn't think Gabriel could actually do something as bad as what Kali made it seem. Although he didn't have a clue what his neighbor had done. He could have killed a man for all Sam knew, but he just wanted to fix the small broken man.

Sam hopped the railing between their balconies and opened Gabriel's unlocked backdoor. He went straight to Gabriel and pulled him into a hug. Gabriel jumped and tensed up when he realized it was Sam.

"Oh, hey Sammich, what are you doing here?" Gabriel asked frantically trying to wipe away the tears streaming down his face.

Sam raised his eyebrows at the nickname but let it slide. "I heard it all, well most of it. I don't actually know what you did, but I do know you shouldn't be alone when you are sad." Gabriel sat there quiet, his head resting on Sam's shoulder.

"You don't have to tell me," Sam said after a while, "but you didn't kill someone or like rob a bank for her, right?" Gabriel raised his eyebrows. "What?" Sam asked. "I'm not going to comfort a felon!" he said seriously.

"No, nothing illegal. Just a break up."

They were quiet again until Gabriel spoke up. "I really thought she'd be okay with it. I wanted to break up; I wanted her to be happy, she wasn't happy with me. I always put her first and the one time I think of myself it's wrong. I just couldn't anymore, I, I thought, I'm such an idiot." He said breaking down again.

"Shh, Gabe, it's alright." Sam said pulling Gabriel closer to him. "You heard her, she thought you were the one. It's not gonna hurt any less even if she was okay with it. Besides you said she cheated. You aren't the one to blame in this situation. She is."

Although he had met Kali, he had never actually said two words to her. But if he saw her again, he was sure he would have a few choice words to say. Things she'd probably smack him for, but it was a risk he would be willing to take. She was too selfish to realize that he chose her and not somebody else. He should have chosen someone else.

Gabriel sat up quickly, startling Sam. "You need to leave." He stated getting up.

Sam looked at him quizzically, "What?"

"You need to leave. Get out." He grabbed Sam's wrist and pulled him off the floor. "Shoo, vamoose, leave, buh-bye!" He ushered Sam out of his apartment.

"What the hell is happening?" Sam asked, planting his feet in one spot.

"You were wrong." Gabriel said, "I need to be alone. None of my life is your business."

"It's been my business since you decided you wanted to spout all of your problems at me."

"Yeah, maybe I did that before, but not this time. This time you let yourself into my house, and now I'm telling you to leave."

"You already told me what happened. Break-ups are big deals, I understand. I think you are just overreacting." Sam said still not moving.

"No, you don't understand. Break-ups aren't a big deal. They don't matter at all. It's not like the world is ending because I don't get to fuck her anymore. She didn't love me so it doesn't matter. Obviously you haven't experienced anything life changing. I have, and it isn't fun. You can't understand because you live this happy life with your girlfriend, your brother and your dad."

"I wasn't good enough for my dad. I was the family screw up. Why do you think I left them and came here?"

"Boo hoo, Daddy was tough. You still talk to him; still visit him on Christmas; call him on his birthday. You still have all of them. You don't realize how hard it actually is to leave your family; to not speak to them for years, not even a text. This? This break-up is nothing. I couldn't give a rat's ass about it. Now I suggest you leave before I accidentally tell you the rest of my life story." Gabriel snapped.

Sam didn't know how to respond. He grimaced and left the apartment.

Gabriel ran a hand through his hair, "God Dammit." He said. He hadn't meant to say any of it. Sam was right, he did overreact. He just wanted to be alone. Why couldn't Sam have just left? Or at least never come? Gabriel's head ached.

Sam showed up at Jessica's house. Not because he was upset and needed comforting, but because he had left his house through the back door and his front door was locked leaving Socks by himself. He would have tried to get back in through Gabriel's place but he highly doubted that was an option.

"You aren't busy are you?" Sam asked once Jess opened the door.

"Well, actually, I was on the way out." She said

"Oh, I was gonna call but my phone is in my apartment and well that's complicated."

"You locked yourself out again?" She smirked.

"Something like that." Sam shrugged. "I was wondering if you still had that spare key I gave you."

Jessica scrunched her face up in thought, "I might, but if it's not in my purse then I don't know where it is." Sam followed Jess inside and waited while she dug in her purse. "It's not in here." She said finally. "But you're welcome to stay here if you can't get inside."

Sam shook his head. "No that's alright, I'll just ask my landlord or something. Thanks anyway."

"Sorry I was no help. I'll try to find your key though."

After stalling a bit more around town, Sam went back to his apartment building to ask his landlord for a spare key. With a sigh he knocked on the door to the office. "Come in." Angela answered.

"Hello, uh, I was wondering if you could let me into my apartment."

She searched around her desk, opening drawers and moving papers around before producing a ring of keys. "Yeah, you lead the way."

They climbed the two flights of stairs to the third floor. "The room with the package in front of it?" she asked. Sam nodded picking up the small box so it didn't get stepped on. The landlady twisted the doorknob and the door opened right up. "Honey, it wasn't locked."

Sam's mouth dropped open slightly. "Really? But I tried to open it earlier."

The woman shrugged, "I don't know, maybe you tried to open the wrong door."

"Well, thanks anyway,"

"No problem. Just remember, you live in apartment 53." She chuckled and went back down the stairs.

Sam passed the passed the box between his hands. He didn't remember ordering anything, but that didn't mean he hadn't. After finding a box knife, he cut it open and found a canvas. It had small airbrushed flowers, and calligraphy- Sorry I was an asshole… You are an angel sent from heaven. Everything had a thick coating of glitter. Sam smiled at the apology, but didn't go to Gabriel's backdoor. He had a long night ahead of him.

I apologize for the formatting... I don't know what happened...
