"Darian!!" His mother screamed chasing him down the hall as he continues to speed walk down the halls. "Darian Stop!!" She screamed again only for him to ignore as he continued his long strides through the halls. "Darian James Stone-Michaels STOP RIGHT NOW!" She said getting him to stop near the end of the hall. "Sweet Neptune Darian," she said catching up to him. "I don't think you remember that you are taller and older than you used to be." She huffed touching his hand.

"Mom," Darian said turning towards her. "I don't get it." he said looking at her confused. "What don't you get?" She asked attentive. "The doctor just said that if she gives birth she might die but," he sighed. "but if she doesn't the baby will have to be the option." Darian runs a hand through his hair as he brings his hands to his face. "Darian, if you think about it she could give birth through the C-section and probably still live." His mother says only for Darian to punch the wall.

"You see that's the thing mom," he moved his hand from the wall. "I don't want there to be a possibility of her 'probably' surviving." He tells his mother. "Well my sweet boy," His mother caresses his hand. "I get that you love her and don't want to lose her but," She says as Darian looks at her in disgust. "I don't like or love her mom. She's tolerable if anything." He said to her taking his away from her grasp.

She looked at him for a second and chuckled. "What is so funny?" He said annoyed with her. "You are just like Stanley." She said making him tense. "Explain. Now." He said clenching his fist. "Before when you're father had been a better person he was good friends with me and some friends of that we had in common. " She said smiling at the memories of her and his biological father.

(A Friend's House)

"Come on Gabby it's your turn." Gabrielle's friend Tabitha said as they finished the drink. "Okay, Okay gosh." Gabrielle said fixing herself on the couch. "Never have I ever kissed someone I see as a friend." She said as 3 friends had drink from their bottles. " Have you ever been kissed though?" Stanley said. "Of course I have been kissed you dolt." She said rolling her eyes at him. "Prove it then." He said simply quirking an eyebrow at her.

"What?" She said taken back by what he said. "I want you to prove it." he said looking at her intently. "Kiss me." He said winking at her making her blush annoyed. "I'm not kissing you Stanley, I don't even like you enough to do that." She said lying through her teeth. Everyone who knew her knew that she was crushing so hard on him. "Okay and I don't either what's that got to do with anything?" He said pointedly. "Unless you actually been kissed before." He smirks.

"Fine then!" She then went up to him and straddled his lap and kissed him ferociously earning a lot of cheers. "Damn Girl!" One of her friends said as He grabbed her hips a bit tighter putting in just as much emotion into the kiss. "Alright let's leave room for air you love birds." They instantly pulled apart and what Stanley said next shocked not only the friend's but also Gabrielle. "We're not anything. Besides I could never date someone who looks the way she does." Stanley said.

Gabrielle then smacked him and got off his lap. "You know for someone with a big ego I hope whoever lays with you is okay with your small 4 inch." She spat at him earning a chorus of 'she told you' and 'Oh shiz'. She then walked outside and then stopped as she stood on the patio. " You know he didn't mean it right? " Aidan said standing next to her. "Why is your brother a complete asshole?" She placed her face in her hands. "I kissed him and that's all he has to say." She sighed annoyed at him and herself.

"Hey you're not at fault my brother is just how he is." Aidan said. " I just need a hug." She said getting a very comforting hug from him. "Hey look about earlier," Stanley said as the two broke apart from the hug. "I was going to say sorry but it seems that you get rebounds quick." He said making her upset. "You know it's not surprising to see you all up on another guy after the one you kissed rejected you. You can be such a whore." He said only to have her smack him. "I'm not a whore and I'm definitely not interested in any of the likes of you. " She said seeing him look upset at her. "Fine then." He left to go back in. "Whatever I'm leaving." Gabrielle said to Aidan as she got into her red 1970's muscle car and began to head home. "I can't believe him." She said annoyed with herself as she pulled into her driveway.

"The audacity of that boy." She growled annoyed. "It's boys like him who make me want to strangle him." She said getting in the house. "I'm assuming you had a bad time?" Gabrielle's mother said as she sat with her father in front of the television. "Boys are overrated mom I just don't get it you kiss them the one time and next thing you they feel entitled to make you feel like crap like how the mess.." She said as the doorbell rang. " Can you get the money from the counter sweetie we ordered Lombardi's." Gabrielle went to get the money to give the pizza guy. "Here's the money sir." she said opening the door. "Thanks doll, have a good night." He handed her two pizza boxes as it started to rain. "You too." She closing the door. "I'll be in my room." Gabrielle told her parents as the rain started to get heavier outside. She then took a quick shower and changed into some night clothes. As it gets closer to midnight the rain was begining to come down hard. "I might as well never let myself love someone ever again." she said as the doorbell rang. "I'll get it!" Gabrielle said drying her hair with a towel. "hello can I.. nope just leave me alone." She said proceeding to close the door. "look babe I'm sorry I didn't mean to say it like that." Stanley said as he stood at her porch drenched from the rain. "if you don't mean it why'd you say it," she clenched her hands into fist. "We have been together for almost 5 years now Stanley!" she screamed as tears filled her eyes. "We were supposed to tell the group about us. And to think that I actually." She sighed. "I know that but I wanted to tell you first that I." Stanley began to speak only to get cut off. "That you what don't like me enough, that you like someone else or that you're ashamed of us?! Of me?!" She said tears streaming down her face. "My sweet dove I don't like you." he began as she scoffed. "I love you, and I'm definitely not ashamed of you because I already told the guys about us after you stormed out after our argument." she looked at him surprised. "And I told them I would go through high hell and low heavens if it meant that I got to be with you." Stanley said wiping her tears. "I love you Gabrielle Trudeau and I want to be with you forever." he said taking a small box out of his pants pocket. "Marry me Gabby." she looked at him tearful. "One condition though." she said as took the box from him. "Anything baby you name it." He said feeling hopeful. "What you did today do that ever again." he nodded and kissed her. "I promise."

"Mom are you trying to make me believe that I like a girl who I did so much wrong to let alone love? Mom she hates me. And I just find her tolerable if anything." Darian said fixing his shirt. " if you don't like or love her why don't you try to make her get the abortion and get rid of her? " She says giving him a questionable look. "Because it's her choice whether she wants to keep the baby or not I'm not going to change her mind." He said pointedly." if that's the case you can do joint custody. You don't have to marry her you know?" His mother says quirking an eyebrow and a smirk. "Just admit it to yourself and accept it you love her and everything else will fall into place." She said walking back to Akira's room. He just ticked his jaw. "I don't love anyone except my job I don't have time to love a person."
