Gabby's POV

I took a few steps back "get away from me" I shout my heart beating fast in fear

"Gabs it's me" a voice says that I soon recognize as my brother Antonio

"Antonio?" I say. He steps out of the shadows so I can get a better view of him

"What do you want?" I tell him still angry at him from earlier

"I want you to get in the truck and come home" he says

"Why should I" I ask

"Because I care about you and I want you to be safe. Please Gabby get in the car

"Stay away from me Antonino" I say as I turn around to begin walking away but bump into Matt who grabs hold of me "let go of me Matt" I yell

"I'm not letting go Gabby" he says

I fight to get out of his grasp but soon find myself falling into his arms and begin crying I feel Matt's strong arms wrap around me as he hugs me. Antonio soon comes over and rubs my back

"Let's go home" he whispers

I nod as I can't find the words to speak Matt lifts me up bridal style and carries me to his truck with Antonio following.

Matt's POV

I bring Gabby back to my place for Antonio and I felt that Gabby's was not safe after laying her down in my bed Gabby fell asleep as soon as she hit the pillow Antonio laid down next to her and rubbed her arm trying to comfort her. I decided to give them some privacy so I walk into the kitchen to grab a beer before placing myself in front of the tv where I watched the Blackhawks game. It doesn't take long for Antonio to reemerge from the bedroom. He walks over and takes a seat on the couch.

"Who's winning" he asks

"It's a tie" I say

We look at the tv but were not watching the game as our minds are on Ben we sit in silence before Antonio gets up

"I have to go" he says "tell Gabby I said bye and I love her"

"I will" I say standing up as well "thanks man" I shake his hand. Then he leaves. I head over to my room where Gabby is sleeping peacefully. I make my way over to her and slowly tuck a piece of hair behind her head she stirs

"Antonio" she whispers

"No it's me" I tell her "Antonio went home he wanted me to tell you bye and he loves you"

Gabby nods I turn to leave but Gabby grabs my arm "stay" she says

The look in her eyes is enough for me to nod my head "okay" I say getting into bed next to her I wrap my arms around her as she cuddles next to me.

"Thanks" she whispers

"For what?" I say

"For being there for me"

I smile kissing her head I whisper "I'll always be" I watch as she falls asleep once again before following her lead.

I wake up the next morning to find Gabby's spot in bed empty I instantly panic thinking the worse has happened I quietly get out of bed as I make my way to the kitchen where I find Gabby at the stove the radio was on low and she was swaying back and forth to the music

I enter the kitchen she turns around to the sounds of my feet and smiles

"Morning" she says "hungry?"

"Morning and starving" Gabby grabs a plate and fills it with Eggs and Bacon and hands it to me before making a plate for herself she turns the stove off before taking a seat at the table besides me

We eat in silence before Gabby turns to me

"Do you think we can stop by my place before work so I can grab some clothes?" She asks

"Yeah I don't see why not" I tell her

She smiles at me before turning back to her food. We finish our breakfast and I do the dishes after of course telling Gabby that she didn't have to do them since she took the time to cook. While Gabby took a shower. While I'm putting away the last dish I hear Gabby's voice behind me

"Ready?" She asks

"Yeah" I say we head out to my truck Gabby jumps into the passenger seat I shut her door before walking around to the drivers side I get in and start the car driving towards Gabby's
