A/N I DON'T OWN ANYTHING! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
The second Gabriel and Gabriella walked into their house they automatically heard screaming coming from the kitchen. Their parents were always fighting these days. Gabriella looked at her brother.
"Go on into my room. I'll be there in a minute." He said softly stroking her cheek.
Gabriella nodded and walked off. Gabriel walked into the kitchen.
"HEY!" he screamed.
His parents stopped fighting and looked at their son.
"I've had enough of this! You are grownups not two year olds. Stop fighting and work it out. You two are so blind you can't even see what this is doing to Gabi and I."
"What is it doing?" Greg asked.
"You two spend so much time fighting you ignore and neglect Gabriella. She doesn't feel loved anymore. I know because she told me this herself. She cries herself to sleep every night because of it. Now you asked us to be home by six for dinner. It's six o' clock on the dot and Gabriella and I are home, just leaving a place that actually makes us happy to be home for you, and you don't even have dinner ready. Figure out the problem and deal with it like grownups. Because right now I'm the only parent figure Gabriella has."
"You aren't two years old either you know. You can cook for yourself." Maria told him.
"I know that. You two said you'd have dinner ready for us tonight. So I didn't cook. Since you don't and since two you are going to fight once I leave the room I'm going to take Gabriella out to eat so she doesn't have to hear you fighting all the time."
With that Gabriel left the room and went into his bedroom and saw his sister curled up in his bed in a fetal position.
"Aw Brie." He said and went over to her. He rubbed her back as he sat down by her side. "You heard all that didn't you?"
"I didn't mean to but it was very loud."
"Don't worry about it. Come on let's go get some food."
"You can't drive yet."
"So we can walk. It's not too far from here."
"What's not? Where are we going?"
"Ben's Burgers." (I MADE THIS UP)
"Ok."
Gabriella got up and followed her brother out of the house. They started walking down the street.
"Did you have fun at the park today?"
"Yeah, I wish we didn't have to leave though, it was fun."
"Even if we were tickling you to death?"
"Even then, plus between you and me I like you guys tickling me…well as long as I can fight back."
Gabriel laughed. "So Troy was right you do like it."
Gabriella blushed at the sound of his name and nodded. She had developed a crash on Troy ever since she turned thirteen. Gabriel laughed seeing the blush.
"When are you going to tell him?"
"What?"
"Oh come on Gabriella it's all over your face. You like Troy anyone can see it. All the guys can see it and Troy likes you too you are both too chicken to do anything about it."
"Troy is a fifteen year old guy I'm a thirteen year old girl. He isn't going to want someone with so little dating experience like me. He wants someone older more mature with lots of experience."
"How do you know what he wants? You haven't asked him yet?"
"I just know. I've been around guys long enough to know how they think."
"Oh have you now?" Gabriel teased.
They arrived at Ben's Burgers and went inside.
"Two please." Gabriel said.
"Outside or inside?" the waitress asked.
"Inside please."
The waitress led them to a booth and gave them the menus and walked away.
"So if you can read guys mind, what am I thinking?"
"Your hoping we don't get a waitress that flirts with you." Gabriella answered.
"Nope, I'm hoping we don't get a guy waiter that flirts with you."
"Same thing."
"Nope not the same thing. You can't read guys as well as you thought. I win."
"Meanie." Gabriella pouted.
"Sore loser."
They both burst into giggles enjoying their time together. Gabriel and Gabriella weren't like most brothers and sisters they had a tight bond and hardly ever fought. They were like best friends only blood related. After a nice dinner they headed home. When they walked inside it was quiet. Almost too quiet.
"What's going on?" Gabriella asked.
"I don't know." Gabriel answered.
They walked into the living room to see their parents sitting calmly on the couch just sipping some tea.
"Hello children. Welcome home did you have a nice dinner?" Maria asked.
"Yes, what's going on." Gabriel asked.
"Both of you sit down we need to speak with you about something."
Gabriel and Gabriella sat down .
"You were right Gabriel. Our fighting is causing us to be bad parents so Greg and I have decided to get a divorce. "
Gabriella went tense. That wasn't good but it could be worse they could be taking Gabriel away from her.
"My job has offered to transfer me to Orlando Florida. They'd pay for everything, even the house. So I'm going and Gabriel is coming with me."
"What about me mom?" Gabriella asked.
"You will stay here with your dad."
Both Gabriel and Gabriella grabbed each other's hands nothing was going to break them up nothing. Gabriella whimpered.
"No, don't take him away from me please."
"Mom, my whole life is here I just can't leave."
"This is not up for debate. Tomorrow morning you and I are leaving so be ready."
"TOMORROW!"
Maybe there was something in the world that could break them up and that something was a divorce
