Gabby's POV

"I'm so bored!!" I said falling on my bed.
"That's not my fault," Shizuka said.
"I know," I said."Did Richard ask you yet?"
"No. But I know he will."
"I hope so. You guys act like a couple so why not be a couple. God, he needs to hurry up with it already. Maybe he'll ask you to marry him too." I teased.
"Shut up. Like that will EVER happen." she said.
"It may. You never know."
"Who knows? I have to go."
"Okay. Talk to ya later."
"Kay. Bye."
    I hung up and played with Happy. Smiling, I sat up and pulled my knees close to me. I put him on his back against my legs. I gently pushed on his pads making his claws pop out. I giggle and then my Shiba Inu, Yuki, jumped on my lap. I glared at him as he sat on Happy. My phone chimed and I saw a message from Andy.
'Hey you busy in bout an hour??'
'No. Y?'
'Want to go to hibachi with Shizuka, Richard, and me?'
'Yah I guess.'
'Okay. See u in bout an hour.'
'See ya.'
   I sighed and had to get changed out of my pajamas. I walked over to my closet and pulled out a grey long sleeve and black jeans. I decided not to put on any makeup. As I straightened my hair my dad walks upstairs.
"Where are you going?"
"Hibachi with Shizuka and Richard."
"Okay have fun." he said walking away.
    After I finished my hair, I texted Shizuka asking her where the restaurant was. I grabbed my wallet and walked into town. I stopped by a flower shop quickly. Grabbing a bouquet of red roses, I walked out and to the cemetery a few blocks down. As I placed them down at a grave, almost crying.

"I miss you mom. A lot. Dad does too." I said quietly. Today was the aniversery of my mom's death. Three years ago she was murdered.
      I walked into the resurant and saw Shizuka, Richard, and Andy and sat down with them. We all talked about random stuff. Andy told us a bit more about himself. It wasn't much but it was a nice to know a bit more. The food tasted amazing. The chef had huge flames coming from the grill. Richard cracked jokes and Shizuka nearly spit out her soda, laughing so hard. Toward the end of lunch, I kind of became quiet.
"Are you okay." Andy whispered
"Yah I'm...fine." I said.
"What's on your mind?"
"Nothing. Just a lot on my mind."
"Do you want to talk 'bout it?"
"No. It's...uh...hard to explain."
"You can talk to me about anything. You can trust me."
"I don't want to talk about it," I said.
"Okay. If you ever need to talk I'm here." he gave me a small smile.
"Okay," I simply said.
   We paid the bill and all went home. I sighed and fell on my bed. As I laid there, I had flash backs of my mom's death.

"Leave now!" my mother yelled.
"Give us the money." one of the men said.
"I don't have your money." she gritted through her teeth.
"Well we will take you daughter instead." he said as one of them tried to grab me.
"No!" my mother yelled jumping at the man. She tried to punch him but two other men grabbed her.
"Hold her there." the man in the white suit said.
   As I went to run to her, the man in the ground got up and grabbed me, holding me back. I screamed for my mother. As she looked at me, she told me to be strong to matter what and then, there was a loud bang. Crimson red liquid was sent flying through the air. As it splattered all over my face, I let my body go limp. My mother's body lay dead on the pavement. The man let me go. I sat there in total shock.
    A single tear slide down my cheek as the men left and sirens were wailing. A cop came and picked me up. Still in shock, I was driven home. My father held me in his arms for three hours straight. I sat in my room and didn't want to eat or sleep.

BANG!

   I sat up with a start. Sweet ran down my face and I pulled my knees to my chest.
"Mom," I whispered.
