Chapter 11

Ok... here's another chapter. It took me a while to uploaded cuz my beta went on vacations & I started a new job. But more are about to come and I think I've developed a pretty nice storyline & I really like where this is going. Hope you enjoy it & review please. I'll be uploading later in the week. =)

Gabe's POV

"Stop… please stop" I mumble, grabbing another pillow and placing it over my head. "GOD" I state, before sitting up. "Where are you, you little piece of shit?" I say, talking to myself. Looking for my phone half asleep is no fun. Finally locating the small device under my jeans, I proceed to answer it… planning on verbally abuse the person that thinks can wake me up at ungodly hours! "You better be limping to save your life" I say to the unidentified caller.

"What?" I hear the other person say, but still too tired and hung-over to even try to care.

"What do you want?" I ask, wanting this to be over so I can go lay down with… whoever was wearing a cute little red top. I grab the small article and look towards the bed to see a girl sleeping peacefully. I need to stop drinking so much. Or maybe I need to start remembering that one night stands are not cool. "You don't need to demean women like that only cause you're a rock star" I repeat Estefania's words in my head.

"I need a favor" The other person says. "Where are you?"

"In Chicago" I say. "Look, if this has anything to do with work, I'm on vacation. Talk to Ry or Suarez" I say. I hear the other person reply it wasn't about work.

"You're in Chicago? What are you doing there?"

"Visiting Nia" I answered annoyed the hell out of me. "Listen, I won't be back til next week, ok?" I heard the other person sigh. "Who is this, anyway?" I asked the first thing I should've asked before giving all my staying info to some stranger, who could be a serial killer. My eyes went wide when the person gave me a name before hanging up. I look at the phone in my hand. I'm in deep shit.

Cassidy's POV

After the whole debacle, breakfast was forgotten and now I'm standing by the door waiting for Nia to finish brushing her teeth so we can be on our way to the hospital, thinking about all the way this can go down when the phone starts ringing. "Hello" I say picking up.

"Hi. Is Nia there, it's Gabe" The man on the other line said and my heart got stuck in my throat. "Hello?" He said again.

"Hi. Yes, she is here. Umm… but she can't come to the phone right now. She's… busy" I say, lying straight out of my teeth.

"What? What is she doing? Listen, it's an emergency. Tell her to pick up her damn phone and to call me. It's urgent"

"I'll tell her" I say… lying again. I don't even know why I'm lying.

"Don't forget. Tell her to call Gabe ASAP. Thank you, Christie"

"Its… Cassidy" I say the final part to the tone dial.

"Who was that?" Nia asks coming down the stairs and grabbing her jacket. I turn to look at her and I'm shocked to see her dressed like a regular girl. She's wearing a black top with black leggings and a blue cardigan. She looks relaxed. Not all diva-like with her expensive clothes and high heels. But she still looks so stunning.

"Wrong number" I say out loud, noticing she has no purse or anything like that with her, which means she's not carrying her phone. Point in my favor. "Shall we go?" I say, grabbing my keys and walking out the door, avoiding any type of eye contact. I'm not used to having this feelings… this feeling of jealousy. Especially towards my sister.

Estefania's POV

The ride from the house to the hospital was silent. I just spent my time looking out the window and humming to some Maroon 5 song that the radio is playing.

'I won't go home without you'

Adam last verse of the chorus rings in my ears and I smile. How fitting. I stare at the view, remembering what it was like living in the suburbs. You see houses well kept, silence, peace and happy families… everything my family wasn't. I genuinely forgot. I guess I got used so much at the city that I can't picture myself living in some place like this again. I see a big yellow building ahead and knew that was the hospital. I don't know what I'm gonna say to my mother, or to Ken. Cassidy turns the engine off and looks at me. "We're here" She says, nervousness in her voice. "Ready for this?"

"Ready for this to be over" I blurt out, unbuckling my belt.

"Could you, please, just save your little comments to yourself? I get that you don't want to be here, ok? But you are. Deal with it" She snaps at me, getting out of the car. Wow… didn't see that one coming. I get out of her Prius, tiny ass car, and start following her to the entrance. We walk endless hallways and took an elevator. Now, I hate small places and an elevator is like every claustrophobic nightmare. But Cassidy told me we had to go to the 10th floor and that I was more than welcome to walk… in my heels, so I had to agree to take the elevator. So here we are, me clutching my hands, rubbing my arms, my legs, anything to make this horrible feeling get away.

"It's not funny" I whisper harshly at Cassidy who is snorting, trying to muffle the giggle threaten to escape. "Seriously" I say just before she burst out laughing, earning us a strange look from the nurse riding with us. "You know what's funny?" I say, looking at her.

"No, what?" She says, just barely being able to talk.

"That big ass spider that's right behind you" I say, walking out of the elevator since we arrived to our floor. I hear a loud scream and turn just in time to see Cassidy running out of the elevator, shaking her shirt in case the 'fictional' spider jumped to her. I suppress my laughter when she gives me the look… letting me know she just found out about my antic. She walks sternly at me.

"That wasn't funny. You know I hate spiders" She says.

"I know. I'm sorry… but it was hilarious" I say laughing loudly. A passing nurse shushed me, shaking her head in disapproval. That made me laugh even more. I was laughing so much that I didn't even noticed we had walked to the end of a hall and entered a room until I came face to face with a small woman. She wasn't old but you can see that all the stress and tough life she had to endure had taken a toll on her appearance. She had some gray on her short black hair and deep brown eyes staring at me… eyes like Cassidy's and mine. That small lady was… she was my mom.
