Gone

Thank you so much for all the reviews on the previous chapter. I really hope that you are still interested in the story and that you want to see more. Please do really tell me what you think and be honest about it because I am really excited to find out what you think about this chapter.

Gabby was standing by the kitchen table, holding her hands on the baby bump and she wanted to walk away, but his brother was here to lecture her again. She had broken down and told him what happened with Matt and she knew it had been a mistake, but she wanted to get support from her brother, but instead he was so angry again.

''Gabby I can't keep looking how he is dragging you down with him. He is not good for you. He promised that he would not leave you again and he walked out again yesterday and left you at home.'' Antonio said then.

''He wanted to go see the warehouse.'' Gabby tied to explain but Antonio just shook his head.

''Look Gabby, he is dragging you down and I don't want him to pull you down. You are my sister and I care about you.'' Antonio said then.

''I know, but I want to fix it with Matt, not break it.''

''You are my sister…and I am going to protect you.'' Antonio said then.

Matt walked to the firehouse, hands tucked in his pockets as he felt so cold. He was not sure if it was because it was actually cold outside or if he was still cold about what happened yesterday. It had shaken him up so bad and he just wanted to forget about it. The other guys had invited him over the firehouse and he hoped that that would make him feel a little better.

He walked inside and while the others were out on a call, he just sat down on the couch, waiting for them to come back. He tried to calm down but he was nervous. He was nervous about seeing the man and he didn't want to let them think that he could not take care of Gabby and his little daughter.

Kelly came walking in first and smiled at him.

''There are you are.'' Kelly smiled and while Matt was just sitting there, not really happy but then they finally seemed happy.

Matt carefully smiled back and tried to keep his attention to the stories that they were telling about recent plans but his mind kept going back to the warehouse yesterday and Kelly finally took him with him to the office.

''What is wrong?'' Kelly asked worried as his friend seemed so bad.

''I went to the warehouse where they kept me yesterday…and I try to get over it but everything that I went through there…it is coming back and it frightens me…and I think I messed up because I walked out without telling Gabby to go there and I am worried that she will tell Antonio….and that Antonio will get mad at me.'' He said then.

''Don't worry about it, even if Antonio does find out I am sure he would help you and Gabby out.''

I am not so sure about that.'' Matt said as he bit his lip before walking home.

Matt walked inside the house and called out for Gabby but did not see Gabby anywhere around and worried he walked through the house, wondering if she was out then but she had not left a note for him.

Suddenly his phone ran gin his pocket and he took it out, saw that it was a text from Gabby's.

I am at Antonio's, will be home later.

Confused he sat down and waited for another message of him. He just wanted to see her now after he had finally opened up to Kelly about yesterday.

Gabby was in bed at Antonio's house, was sure that he would be worried about her but she felt so conflicted. She knew that Antonio was right about leaving him but she was also worried about Matt. She knew that he didn't do it on purpose and she didn't want opt hurt Matt, but she also didn't want to clash with her brother. Hopefully they could figure this out tomorrow.

Matt was sitting on the couch, hoping that he would fall asleep soon. He hated that Gabby was not with him, he just wanted to talk out whatever was bothering her but now she was with Antonio and he was terrified of going to Antonio. Although they had made up, he was just worried that Antonio had found out that he had gone away yesterday.

Worried he bit his nails and looked at his phone on the table. The clock showed that it was already past one and he wanted to go to bed, but still hoped that she would get here soon. He just kept on looking at the phone.

As the clock finally showed that it was past three already he got up and walked to bed, scared that she would not come home. Sad he laid down in bed, scared that she wouldn't come back and shivering he waited in bed, waiting for the morning to start and hoping that Gabby would finally come home. Not being able to sleep, he walked to the nursery and started working on it.

He knew that he messed up but he really did not want to lose Gabby.

Finally he left the house again and walked towards Antonio's house as it was pretty far away, but all he wanted to do was see her and he knocked on the door, knew it was the middle of the night and it took a while before a light flicked on and Antonio opened the door.

''Gabby…I just want to see Gabby.'' Matt said then, tears filling his eyes as he as almost ready to push Antonio out of the way.

''She is angry with you…and she has the right to be.'' Antonio said and Gabby was standing on the stairs, saw that Matt was standing in the doorway, almost crying and trying to talk to Antonio, but her brother closed the door then.

Matt slumped in front of the door and sat down, sobbing softly .

''Antonio, you can't do this.'' Gabby said then as she walked down the stairs.

''No, I am not going to let him hurt you again!'' Antonio said then and Gabby shook her head then.

''I am not going to let you hurt him anymore either.'' Gabby said then as she pushed past her brother, opening the front door so she could go to Matt again. She didn't want to choose between her brother and Matt…maybe they all to heal a little bit.

She sat down on the ground beside Matt and laid her arm around him.

They had to make this all right.

NOTE: Gabby told Antonio about what happened at the warehouse hoping for some support of her brother but instead Antonio got really mad again. Meanwhile Matt went ot the firehouse and opened up to Kelly a bit before going home and finding out that Gabby was with Antonio now and she didn't come home. He went ot Antonio in the middle of the night and while Antonio got mad, Gabby is trying to heal things between them all…and that is what as to happen now, but can they?

Thank you so much for reading, I hope that you enjoyed this chapter just as much as the previous chapter. Please do tell me again what you think by leaving a review and hopefully I will see you again next chapter.
