(This chapter is a bit different as described in the last chapter, just because I decided to change direction a bit with the story)
A few weeks later
Matt and Gabby sat on the couch together, enjoying their time together. Gen was out with the girls she knew from school and there really becoming her friends and that made them really happy too. She was doing well with both her friends and with her notes.
Suddenly Matt's phone rang and Matt walked away and came walking back, looked so angry.
''That was Antonio since your phone is off. Gen is at a gas station, she tried to buy alcohol.'' Matt sighed angry.
''Are you going to pick her up?'' Gabby asked then. ''How did Antonio end up there?''
''She asked for him to the caps and Antonio took her in protection a bit. I will go pick her up now''
Genevieve looked fearful as the truck Matt drove made its way onto the parking lot, coming to an abrupt stop and Matt jumping out.
''Got her right here for you, no charges pressed, you are lucky they called me!'' Antonio said then, Gen standing beside him, miserably.
''Thanks Antonio.'' Matt thanked his soon to be brother in law. Angry he dragged Genevieve back the car.
''I am so sorry Matt!'' She said she was barely kept up to his pace as he pushed her to the car, so angry.
''Are you out of your mind!'' He yelled angry then as they sat down in the car.
''I am so sorry!''
But Matt looked so angry she doubted a sorry would be enough and she felt so terrible about it. Angry at her friends and feeling bad that she had done that because Matt and Gabby had to be so angry and disappointed.
''My friends asked me! I didn't want to disappoint them!'' She said sad.
''So you disappointed us instead?'' Matt said angry.
''They asked me to do. All I wanted was friends!'' She started to sob then and immediately Matt felt bad about being so angry with her.
''Well, trying to buy something illegal isn't going to get you any friends.''
''They say I looked like the oldest so they told me to do it and I didn't want to say no. I was scared they would ditch me again.'' She cried then and Matt got that it was group pressure.
''Hey, don't cry, okay? I am - a little bit angry...but I got that it was group pressure.'' He said then and he laid his hand on her shoulder but she kept sobbing.
''I am sorry but these girls are not your friends. They were okay with you getting arrested for a bottle of whiskey. These are not friends. But you have real friends, you know? Eva is your real friend and you will have many more!'' Matt said then.
''Fine.'' She mumbled then and Matt drove home. Gabby was still angry as they arrived home and she sat Gen down on the couch, Matt sitting down next to Gabby.
''What were you thinking!?'' Gabby asked upset.
''I just wanted them to accept me.''
''They used you.'' Gabby said then.
''What, you think I don't figured that out!'' Gen yelled upset.
''If there is somebody deserving to yell it is me! We took you in an you try to buy alcohol underage! We try to give you a good future and it's like you just want to throw it away!'' Gabby said then and upset Gen shook her head.
''It was one incident.'
''Ýou are just lucky that Antonio got called there and you are not ending up with anything on your name!''
''Fine. I am sorry. How many more times do I have to tell you?'' She said upset.
''All Gabby is trying to say is that we try to provide the best future we can to you. Please don't mess it up, okay? All that is important now is getting through high school.''
Finally Gen nodded and Gabby wanted to say something again but also knew Matt was right.
Gen got up a little later, walking to her room.
Gabby looked at Matt.
''You really could have gotten a bit more angry. She is lucky Antonio came and didn't get her into more trouble!''
''She is just taking it hard that her friends are not really her friends.'' Matt said then.
''I know but I am angry, that is not that weird right?''
''No, not at all. I just don't want her to feel even worse. Even though I know that this is bad.''
Gabby nodded understanding and got up then, walking to Gen's room. Gen was sitting on the edge of the bed and Gabby saw that she was feeling so bad and she sat down beside her.
''All I want for you is to have an amazing future.'' Gabby said then. ''We want to offer you the best we can and that was why I was so concerned about you getting involved with police.''
''I want to become a paramedic.'' She said then and Gabby smiled.
''Well, we know all about that.'' Gabby said then. ''You know I worked a paramedic for 5 years, right?''
''Yeah, I am sure it is what I want to do.'' Gen said then and Gabby nodded.
''That will be good and I am sure you will go great. I am sorry I got so angry.''
''Well, you got the right to be.'' Gen said then and she smiled at Gabby.
''Thank you so much for taking me in. I promise that I will do my best to make something of my future...and become a paramedic...and make you proud.'' She said then and Gabby nodded.
''Don't worry, we are already proud of how you are handling everything right now...please don't get involved with those girls again.''
''Thank you.'' Gen said then and she hugged her and Matt walked in too, sat down beside them as well.
''So, paramedic?'' Matt smiled then, even though he wouldn't want to admit it, he was proud of her, of how she was handling high school and had made a decision for her future.
''I will take an job beside school and such...so I can start saving up for the paramedics course.'' She promised then.
''Don't worry about that, just do your best in getting high grades and we will take care of that course.'' Matt promised then and after promising that, he and Gabby went to bed soon and they laid in bed.
''Matt, if we are going to pay for her full course...a baby is off the books for that time, you know that right?''
''Yeah.'' Matt said a bit sad. ''But when she is done with the course we will have enough time to have a baby...even though it will be a long wait.''
''I know. I know.'' She said then. It was a bit of a sad thing to realize but in a few years they still could and they could give this girl a future now. But would it make it easier for them as a couple?
NOTE: Gabby and Matt were having a night together when they were called by Antonio that Gen got arrested trying to buy alcohol underage and at first they were really angry but found out she tried to do it to become friends with the girls. But she promised to work on her future and that she wants to be a paramedic and they promised to pay for her course even if that means they can't have a baby any time soon.
Next chapter, we jump ahead in time a bit and Gabby opens up to Matt about something bothering her.
