I remember it clearly the day you slipped away -Avril Lavigne, Slipped Away
Time Period: A Flashback
Situation: The day and night of Gabriel's Death
Mary's p.o.v
Earlier in the day, I made an unexpected visit to Gabriel's little cottage in the woods. I wanted to
know why he didn't attend court. My guards and I caught Gabe beating himself with a belt. I
snatched the belt from his hands. He reached for a rifle that rested underneath his pillow. I also
took that gun away from him. He wasn't going to hurt or kill himself on my watch. For his personal
safety, my guards arrested him. They took him to prison. I didn't care if Gabriel was livid or having
a temper tantrum. Eventually, he gave into me. He was in solitary confinement until I felt he was
stable. I released him early from jail for having good behavior. He promised to never hurt himself
again. Besides having good behavior, he had a ball to attend with me. Selfish, James cut into our
slow dance. Gabriel's depression resurfaced right there and then. I overlooked the pain and
sorrow in his pretty brown eyes. He disappeared into the shadows of my mind.
