We were all talking in the living room when someone knocked, so I got up to see who it was. When I opened the door it was a young man about Mia's age at the door.

"Can I help you?" I asked him

"Um… yeah I was wondering if I could talk to Mia." He asked nervous

"Sure, come on in." I tell him

He walks in and I shut the door behind him. We walk into the living and Mia gets up and says "Hey"

They go outside on to the balcony after Mia looked around the room and saw that Hank and Jay were about to say something. I look around the room and I see Jay about to get up when I said "Jay, let them be."

We talked about the case until the food got here. After a while the balcony door opened again and Mia and Gabe were walking into the bathroom. After about 5 min I got up and walked to the bathroom when the door opens.

"Is everything okay?" I asked them

"Yeah, everything is fine. Gabe was just leaving." She said then walking to the door

"Hey Gabe, why don't you stay for dinner?" I asked him

Mia gave me a pissed look and he said "Sure."

"Great." She stated pissed

I just smiled and we all walked back into the living room. Gabe sat in one of the chairs and Mia went and sat down by her dad on the arm rest.

"So Gabe, do you play any sports?" Voight asked him

"I play football sir." He replied shyly

"What was the reason you came over tonight?" Jay asked him

"I heard Mia was in the hospital and I wanted to make sure she was okay." He replied

I looked at him when he said "I heard Mia was in the hospital and I wanted to make sure she was okay."

I looked at my mom and she just had a smile on her face then there was a knock at the door. I got up and grabbed my dad's wallet.

"Dad's paying!" I yelled as I opened the door

I grabbed the pizzas and the drinks. I paid the guy and then closed the door.

"Mia, how did you get my wallet?" Dad asked me after I dropped it into his lap.

"It was in your jacket pocket." I told him with a smile

"You are your mother's child." Dad said

"What is that supposed to mean?" Mom asked confused

"You do the same thing she just did." He told her with a smile

"Did you get my Hawaiian Pizza?" I yelled from the kitchen

"Did you look yet?" Mom yelled back

"No" I yelled

As I was looking for my pizza Gabe walked into the kitchen.

"Mia, are we going to finish talking." He asked me

"What is there to talk about?" I asked not even looking at him

"Mia, you have to believe me. I want to make this work between us." He said

"What Gabe? How do I know this isn't just a game between you and your friends just to embarrass me?" I asked him

"What do I have to do for you to believe me?" Gabe asked with a sad look on his face.

"I don't know to be honest. Let's just get our food and go back out into the living room." I said then walked away.

"Are you guys going to eat or what?" I asked them when I walked into the living room.

"Did you leave any food left?' Mom asked me

"Ha-ha, you have jokes don't you." I told her then stole her spot when she got up

She stuck her tongue out at me then went into the kitchen to get some pizza. I grabbed the TV remote and turned on the Blackhawk vs Sharks game. It was the Second period of the game and it was 3-2 and we are losing at the moment. Dad came and sat down next to me.

"Do you want to talk about it?" He asked me

"Talk about what?" I asked acting dumb

"Mia, you know what I'm talking about. Come on lets go for a ride." He said then took our plates into the kitchen.

I got up and got my jacket from the hook and waited by the door. Gabe walked up to me and asked "Where are you going?"

"That's a good question." I told him

"Well, I'm going to head out. I'll see you at school tomorrow." He said then left

"You ready to go?" Dad walked over to me

"Did you tell mom?" I asked him

"Yes, your mother knows." He said with a smile

We walked outside to his car and got in. We drove again for about an hour. I finally asked "Where are we going?"

"We're almost there just hold on for a few more minutes." He told me

After a couple more minutes we finally pulled up to the pier. I got out of the car and pulled my hood up on my head and walked to the front of the car.

"So what are we doing here?" I asked him

"This is the first place I met your mom did you know that?" He asked

"No, I didn't." I stated

"Yeah, she did not like me very much at first." He told me

"Why?" I asked

"Well, let just say that the first time we met your mom had a gun pointed at me." He said with a smile

"What did you do?" I asked confused

"I was working undercover on a drug case. I was here making a deal and your mom and her team busted. I had to keep my cover so I took a run for it and when I got to the end of the park right here your mom was there with her gun pointed at me." He explained laughing

"Well, that's one way to make an impression on someone." I said shaking my head

"But what does that have to do with you bringing me out here?" I asked him

"I wanted to show you how far your mom and I have come from the first we met. I don't know what is going on with you and Gabe. But I can see that he cares about you, and if he can show up at your house with a room filled with detectives and not run then you need to hold on to that." He explains to me

I sigh and said "I… I just don't think that I can trust him. I just don't know what to do and every time I get close to someone I always end up getting hurt. I just can't go through that again."

He walks over to me and give me a hug then says "Just give it time, it's not going to happen overnight. But you know that your mom and I love you and we will support and help you though anything."

It was almost 11 when Mia came home from her ride with Jay. I was sitting in the living room watching TV when she walked through that door.

"Is everything okay?" I asked her

"No, but it will be." She told me as she came and sat down. She put her head on my lap and I ran my hand through her hair.

"What did you guys talk about?" I asked

"He told me about how you pointed your gun at him the first time you met. Then we talked about how I should try and let Gabe into my life. Dad seems to think that he is a great guy and that I shouldn't let him go. I told him that I honestly don't know what I should do." She explained to me

"Well, your dad and I are here for you if you need anything. Now let's get ready for bed because you still have school in the morning." I told her

She sighed then got up and said "Do I have to go? Can't I just stay home tomorrow please? I did just get out of the hospital from a stab wound and everything."

"Sure, but just tomorrow, you have to go to school on Wednesday though." I told her

"Fine." She said

We both walk to our rooms and went to bed .
