2 days later

Matt walked into the bedroom in the morning after his shift. Gabby was just waking up and although he was dressed he laid down and kissed her on her forehead.. Even though it was two days ago now that Genevieve had told him that she had been dealing with drugs before but he still had not told Gaby. He had tried to think about it but it was just hard to tell Gabby. Although Gabby did care about the girls he was just worried that she would get really angry.

''How was shift?''

''It was all right.'' He smiled but the whole time he had been on shift he was just feeling guilty that he had not told

''I…I have to be honest with you because I don't want to lie to you. You know that right? So please don't be angry I haven't told you yet….it was just that I was not sure what to tell you about it….all it is that when Genevieve went to see her friends it turned out that she used to sell drugs.'' Matt said.

Gabby looked down, feeling really sad and disappointed.

''Gabby. I know it is hard but I know that even though this is sad to hear, she stopped it and we can help her rebuild her future.'' Matt said then and slowly Gabby nodded a bit.

''I don't know. I want to be angry she probably did not choose for it. She never had a good youth so it probably the only choice she had.'' Gabby said then but she still felt a bit hurt that Matt had kept it from her.

''Genevieve asked me not to tell you, because she was scared to disappoint you.'' Matt explained then and Gabby nodded slowly. She was still a bit sad to hear that and that Matt had not told her that immediately but guessed that it had been hard on him too.

Gabby got ready for the day and Matt took a shower after which they went to the kitchen to have breakfast and make lunch for Genevieve.

''I…Matt told me you used to deal drugs and don't want to be angry with you, but I am just not sure what to think about it.'' Gabby said, trying not to sound too angry.

''Oh, great.'' Genevieve just said as she grabbed her bag, ready to walk out and go to school.

''Genevieve, it is fine.'' Matt tried to calm things down but she turned his way, angry.

''You told her while I asked you not to. Great, just awesome!'' Genevieve yelled angry and stormed out then, going to school.

Feeling bad, Matt sat down by the table, but he tried to feel upset. He knew he had to tell Gabby sometime and he was glad he had told her now, but he was a bit sad that Genevieve was so angry with him.

''hey, she will turn around. I am not mad. I am just…I don't know….I mean, I still want to be her guardian and have her here. I was just a bit shocked.''

''It will be fine.'' Gabby said with a little smile and they shared a kiss.

''I know. I mean…she might not always be easy to deal with but we will be good guardians.'' Matt said.

''It will be good.'' Gabby said, trying to get over the news that she had heard this morning and they shared another kiss.

Unsure she looked at Matt now because there was still something that she did want to do.

''Let's just check her room, to be sure…'' Gabby said. It was not that she did not trust Genevieve but now it seemed like she just wanted find out that she still had enough reason to trust her.

''Are you sure?''

''Yes…I just want to check.'' Gabby said and finally Matt nodded. Although they tried to stay away from her personal stuff as possible but they still took a look around. They felt a bit guilty about it but also knew that they had to check, just to feel better. They were sure that she had no drugs anymore but it would only let the trust in her grow.

But after they had looked around they had not found anything and they felt a lot better as they walked back to the kitchen, making dinner together. Matt set the table as Gabby finished dinner and they sat down by the table, when Genevieve came walking in and she was carrying a bunch of flowers that was so big that it looked ridiculous. Her head was barely showing over the enormous bunch of flowers.

''These are for you. Because I know you must be upset about what you heard about me and I can't blame you for being angry. I just want to promise you that I never used any drugs...and that I don't have any...and I want to thank you for taking me in.'' Genevieve said then as she tried to keep holding up the enormous bunch of flowers. Matt took it from her.

''Thank you so much...and we know that when you say you don't have anything to do with it anymore, that we should trust you.''

''Thank you.'' Gabby smiled as well. She knew the girl was really trying and tried not to be so angry anymore.

They had dinner altogether after which Genevieve went to her room. While Matt was watching the news, Gaby was putting the flowers in a vase. Suddenly somebody was standing behind her and he held up a pistol.

Shocked Gabby dropped the vase, the glass shattering on the floor.

''What do you want?'' She asked as she raised her hands.

''I am looking for the drugs.''

Gabby frowned. ''I don't have any and neither had my fiancé. There are no drugs here.''

''The girl has them!'' The boy said and Gabby shook her head. She was sure that Genevieve had no drugs, they would have found it.

She tried to reach her phone that was on the cupboard, trying to get some message to Antonio but as soon as she moved her hand to her phone.

The door to the kitchen opened and Matt walked in. The guy turned his way then and quickly Gabby grabbed her phone, taped the button to call Antonio and laid the phone away, hoping he would not hear the phone was calling.

''Go stand with her!'' The boy told Matt and Matt moved her way, her hands up as well.

''Where is the girl?''

''In her room.'' Matt said then.

''Call her.''

He still held Matt under gunpoint as Matt walked to the door. Matt opened the door as if he wanted to yell for Genevieve but then he suddenly turned around and tried to grab the pistol from his hand.

''Step back!'' The boy said then, fighting Matt off and Matt stepped back.

''Are you crazy?''

''I am not the one standing in the kitchen of a family with a gun...'' Matt said and Gabby bit her lip. She just wished that Matt wouldn't make him more angry.

''Walk away, you can still walk away from this and we can forget about this.'' Matt said then.

The boy seemed to be off guard for just a second.

Gabby took a quick glance to her phone and saw that Antonio had taken the phone.

''Put the gun down!'' She yelled loud, knew it would not help but hopefully Antonio would know it was serious.

''Walk away now, last chance.'' Matt said then and the boy shook his head, holding up the pistol.

Genevieve entered the kitchen, almost screaming when she saw the boy standing there, holding her guardians under gunpoint.

''Thom, what you doing here?'' She said then, trying not to cry and he pushed her towards Matt, holding Gabby under gunpoint.

''Give me the drugs, or she dies!'' He said then and Genevieve shook her head.

''Told you that I don't have anything!''

''You are lying!'' Thom said then.

''I am not.'' Genevieve said then and she tried to calm him down.

''Drugs, or I will shoot her.''

Genevieve shook her head, crying and Thom seemed to scared to shoot after all.

''Look man, you probably used some drugs and you know. I get it, you want those drugs, but there is nothing we can do to help you. Just put the gun down.''

Finally he lowered the gone for a second but caught Gabby's phone then.

''You, your phone is on!'' he suddenly yelled and pointed the pistol at Gabby.

Gabby just held up her hands and closed her eyes then, a tear streaming down her cheek because she was so scared.

The seconds seemed to last like hours before the gun went off.

NOTE: Matt came back from shift and he felt bad about keeping Genevieve's past a secret from Gabby and he told her after all. Gabby was a bit shocked to hear this and even got a bit angry against her but also was sure that it would be fine and it was fine later, although the boy that got angry with her first showed up with a pistol now…and shot it.

So yeah, Next chapter…what happened after the gun was shot? Is everybody all right and what will happen now?
