Chapter twelve

Surprise!!!

Its February now and today is Valentines Day. Mine and Troy's first Valentines Day back together. It's still freaking cold here! And that stupid groundhog saw his stupid shadow so we still have stupid winter! Ugh!

I still haven't found Daniela. I've tried everywhere and every number I can look up and think of. Seth hasn't given up hope that she'll come back for him. He gets all these weekly reports from his teacher and he insists on mami putting them in an album so he can show his mommy.

Eva and Sam have stopped the engagement. They realized it was ruining them more and that they were perfectly fine the way it was before. I hope troy and I aren't like that. We want to get married. We can't wait! But of course troy is making it a big surprise that I won't expect!

Today I am going shopping for an outfit for tonight. Then I am going by the boutique to check on things. With lettie getting further along she has put me in charge and making me boss until she comes back. My lines are still good I just sent them some designs for the spring season.

"Ok troy I'll be back later" I said and kissed him.

"Ok remember casual but sexy" he said. I rolled my eyes.

I kissed him one more time and walked out the door. He's going to the shop for a half day.

I got in the car and drove to Columbia which is like 20 minutes away from laurel…the mall there is a lot better than laurels. It has a lot of designer stores and more variety.

I went up to the upper level when I saw her. She was walking into the Hollister store I was so shocked I stopped. When she spotted me her face was blank mine probably was too. I finally recovered and walked to her.

"Daniela" I said. She looked horrible. She lost a lot of weight and she looked fragile.

"Hey Gabi" she smiled. Her smile was weak I was about to burst into tears. She was wearing clothes that covered her and had sunglasses on.

"Are you going to ask how your son is?" I said. We were sitting on a bench now.

"Look Gabi I know it was wrong but…I had no other choice!"

"Yea you did Danni you could've left David!" I said.

"No I can't" she said.

"Why"

"Because Gabi…I…I love" she said. I didn't believe it not one bit.

"Daniela I've known you my whole 24 almost 25 years of my life! Now tell me why can't you leave him for your son!" I said. I had tears in my eyes.

"He threatened me. He said he will kill me if I try to run away"

My stomach dropped.

"Daniela please, please comes back with me! We can call someone and get him put away!" I said.

"Gabi I can't." she said. We stayed silent for a little while. Then I finally couldn't take it anymore. I lifted her chin and took off her sunglasses.

"Daniela" I gasped.

"It isn't that bad" she said about the big black and blue bruise on her cheek and a scratch going from her forehead to her eye.

"You can't let him keep doming this" I said.

"I don't have a choice."

"What about Seth"

"He's better where he's at."

"Daniela he prays to god every night asking for his mommy! He's making this scrap book and puts everything that happens in it!"

"I want to be there…but I just can't."

"Daniela do you remember when I told you I was giving up my baby for adoption" I said. She nodded.

"I told you that I had no choice…but I had a choice…I could've taken care of him! But I was too scared shitless and took an easy way out! Daniela please chooses your son and don't regret not being there for him!"

"Gabi you need to stay out of my life! Seth is just fine!"

"How do you know!?" I yelled. I was getting mad now. How could she think he was fine I mean sure he is but he wants her he misses her he needs her!

"Because I've talked to papi!" she said. How the hell will he know.

"he talks to mami everyday and she gives him the update! I didn't forget about him like you did Gabriella!"

"Daniela if you don't want my help and if you want to keep letting him do that to you then fine! But damned if im going to let you hurt my nephew any more! If you don't step up in 2 weeks Daniela and leave that asshole and come back to your baby then I'm going to the cops!" I said and walked away. I went down the escalator I didn't know what to think or feel. I drove to the shop. I needed troy.

"Brielle?" troy said.

"I saw Daniela"

He took me into his arms. "Chad handles it!" he said. Then he guided me to the car and drove home.

When we got to the apartment I broke down. I didn't want troy to see me like this. But I couldn't hold it in anymore. My sister is letting this happen!

"What did she say?" he asked.

"He threatened her…and he hits her troy!" I cried.

He rubbed my back. "She told me to stay out if it…"

"Baby" he said. I hugged him tighter.

"Why do guys act like that? Why do they do those things! Why do girls get with guys like that and stay with them!" I said.

"I don't know Brielle"

I finally recovered. "I'm sorry…here I'll clean up and we can go out" I said.

"No Brielle I and you are staying in tonight. I can tell you don't want to go out" he said.

"Troy it's valentines day I don't wanna ruien your plans"

'I love you more than those plans. We're having an inside night"

I felt bad for doing this. He planned the night so hard I shouldn't have told him.

"Troy please" I said.

"Brielle, if we go tonight you will be thinking about it non stop putting a bigger blow on the night. It's ok Brielle, we can just move it the living room." He said and smiled. I sighed and knew I couldn't win.

The night we sat in the living room the lights were dimmed and we were eating Mc Donald's on the blanket.

"Just like our first date" I smiled.

"I wanted it to be special."

"Troy you're always special" I said.

It was the best Valentines Day ever.

"So troy I got you something" I said.

"Oh really?" he said.

We watched movies the rest of the night. It was awesome.

"I'll be right back" troy said. I nodded. I had Juliet on m lap and troy had Minnie on his, the cats were in there bed next to the TV and Maya…well I don't know where she went.

I was playing with Juliet's ears. She has dry skin on them and loves when I do this. I was softly humming to myself thinking about Daniela. No Gabi! Keep her out of your head! This has to be special for troy!

I sighed and cleared my head from her. I will deal with her tomorrow.

I heard Maya jingle her way in towards me. I started petting her neck and head.

"What's this?" I asked when I felt something on her collar. It was a small box…a ring box. I looked behind me and saw troy standing there. My breathing got really heavy.

"So…you gonna open it?" he asked.

I opened it and saw a diamond ring. The diamond was in the shape of a heart then there were diamond flower pedals on the sides then little diamonds all around the band.

"Troy" I whispered. I felt tears come to my eyes.

"Well…Brielle…will you marry me?" he asked. He smiled that perfect smile and looked at me with his crystal blue eyes. I was crying now.

"Baby don't cry" he said.

"There good tears" I said. He laughed.

"So is it a yes…" he asked. I nodded in his chest. He lifted my chin and kissed me.

"I love you" I said.

"I love you too" he said.

They're engaged!!!!!!!!! Lol. Here's the link to the ring if you wanna see it. When I found it I was like I WANT IT!!! Lol! Well I actually kind of liked it…there's going to be more Daniela drama. I hope you guys liked it! And this story is coming to an end. I am thinking of ideas for the next story but I want at least 30 reviews before I start it. Soooo if I don't have them by the end of the story you may have to wait for the sequel!
