Snippet #1861324

Gabriel stopped the car cautiously, bringing it to a steady, careful halt. He smiled as he took in the extravagance of the cabin, he'd never stayed in a place like this before. His happiness was short lived, peering over at Andy. She really was a sweet girl, and Gabriel cared for her more than anything. Seeing her hurt like this, even if she refused to admit it, killed him. She saw what that bastard did to her, how rough he handled her.

He approached him that day when Andy disappeared within the house. Putting a rough hand on his shoulder and forcing him back against the wall. "Are you kidding me? Who the fuck do you think you are?" After a loud shouting match between the two, Gabriel finally calmed. "She's my sister and i'll do what i want! Stay out of it cuz if you piss me off, ill take it out on her" Gabriel despised that mans smirk, but he lowered his arms not the less. What was he supposed to do? Knowing Andy, she'd never admit it. She'd be stuck in there with him.

None the less, he spent the rest of the weekend in his car, idly waiting for a scream or a reason to intervene. He'd linger by after he dropped her off from school each day, just for a few minutes... He wanted to make sure she was safe. It may of seemed odd to others, but not to Gabriel's friends. They knew what kind of guy he was and how much of a sweet spot he had for Andy. In a situation like this? It's not odd that he'd take it so seriously.

On the car ride over he did whatever he could to comfort her without making it obvious. Subtle touches and smiles, just to reassure her of his presence. He wouldn't confront her until they reached the cabin, he didnt want to spoil the ride for her.

Stepping out onto the gravel, he quietly pulled his bag over his shoulder. He couldnt manage to keep the smile off of his face, realizing he was about to spend the best week of his life with his closest friends. He slipped his hand onto Devin's back as they entered the cabin "You ready bud? This is gonnah be the weekend of a life time" He pushed forward, dropping his bag in a nearby bedroom before slipping back into the living room. "Worth all the money we spent on it?" He laughed, speaking to anyone who cared to listen.

He over heard Patrick's insults, turning slightly to look at him. "Lay off man" He looked back to Devin, flashing him a slight smile. They had been friends since they were kids, he thought of him as a brother.

He caught Andy out of the corner of his eyes, leaving the room to walk next to her. "Hey, ready to check this place out?"
