Chapter 12

MARCOS

I don't know when they started arguing, at least Gabriela, I just know when I arrived Gabriela was about to pounce on Alex, and I didn't want her to do something she was going to regret, she had gotten him out of a fight and now she would do something to him. 

It didn't take long for her to leave and I don't know where, because when she gets angry, I never knew where she was going. I turned to look at Alex to see if he would tell me what the hell happened. 

"I don't know what happened Marcos, really." he said and I crossed my arms, because I couldn't understand what had happened in the last few minutes to make Gabriela as angry as she was when we got to her again. "What did you say to her to make her so angry?" I asked. 

"I think it was because I told her it was like a game for us to mess with her. I want to apologize to her Marcos." At that moment, Sara approaches us and stares at him with a face not understanding what had just happened with Gabriela. 

"I would like to understand what's happening to Gabriela. Why does she hate you so much?" Sara asked "For everything I've done to her, and it's normal." replied "What? I don't understand. What are you talking about?" she asked with a frown. Alex and I looked at each other. I suppose it was because he didn't understand what she was implying, that Gabriela had decided not to tell anything about what had happened between them. 

"Is someone going to tell me what's going on between you two or what?" she insisted "Don't you know who I am?" he asked looking more in my direction than Sara's "I have no idea who you are. I only know since Gabriela saw you, she's angrier." 

Astonishment didn't take long to appear on his face, I suppose he hoped Gabriela had told them what had happened between them. "Hasn't she told them anything about what happened?" he asked me "Gabriela doesn't want anyone to know. You know how she is." I said shrugging my shoulders, because it was true, we knew what Gabriela was like. 

"Can you explain to me what's happening? Could you explain to me what's wrong with Gabriela with you?" Sara insisted "I was one of those people who messed with her after breaking up with her." It's heard how Sara hits Alex in the face and between me and Clara stop her before she continues, because I'm sure it's something she would do, and with pleasure. 

"Calm down Sara, it's not necessary to hit him." said her sister "Isn't it necessary, Clara? Didn't you hear what he just said?" she asked stunned. "I heard it, but I don't think it's necessary to react like that." 

"Of course, it's necessary. That's why Gabriela is so angry with the world. That's why she hates him and now I understand so much secrecy between you two. Now everything fits. If you think I'm going to let it happen again, you're very wrong." she said angrily "I'm not going to do anything to her!" Alex defended himself. 

"You can be sure, because I won't let you get close to her, I swear. Now let me go, I'm going to look for Gabriela, she must be bad." We let go of her and she started walking in the direction Gabriela had left a while ago. 

I don't think she knew where she had gone, you never knew where she went when she was angry, and it's something we would never know. Clara looked at me for a few seconds and it didn't take long for her to follow her sister so she would calm down a bit at least and I stayed with Alex with worried face in front of me. 

"I'm sorry Marcos, I shouldn't have said that, I'm really sorry." He said sorry and I nodded, because I knew he didn't want to upset her "Don't worry, it'll go away." I assured her "I really want to apologize to her." She replied and I denied, because it wasn't the best thing at the moment. "Right now, with how angry she is, I don't think she wants anyone to approach her." 

"You should talk to her, with you she wants to talk." he said with hope in his eyes "I don't know where she is, and believe me, now she won't talk to anyone, not even me. She's angry." I answered sincerely. If there was anything I could do to help her, I would "But you're her best friend." 

"Right now, everything is the same. You must remember because she did the same before everything happened." I assured "Right. She hasn't changed as much as she wants to pretend, has she?" he asked even though he knows the answer "No, she hasn't changed that much, I think it shows a bit." 

"For me, she's still as beautiful as it was years ago, even more. I don't know how that's possible." A smile formed on my face, because this was the Alex I remembered when he was with Gabriela and not the version after their break up. This was the Alex the three of us liked "You say that because you love her, that's why you see her more beautiful." 

"Are you going to tell me you don't think she's beautiful?" he asked raising both eyebrows "I never said that, because I'm not going to deny she is, but you see her more and more beautiful because you love her too much Alex, that's why." 

"And I'll keep doing it, even though she doesn't want to, let alone want to love me." He said something more subdued "Yes, she will, if not, do you think she would have taken you out of the middle of the fight you were beaten up? What Gabriela feels for you begins to come to light, and you can be sure she won't be able to avoid it. 

"You think?" he inquired, hope evident in his eyes. "Yes, I'm sure. Not one hundred percent, but surely close to that. But now I'm leaving because I have to find Gabriela." I said starting to collect our things "Okay, go talk to her." 

"I will, and don't worry, she'll reconsider it. She always does." I turned around and headed in the direction she had gone a while ago and Alex was thinking what to do. I was almost one hundred percent sure they would end up coming back, and I would tell him when it came, I knew that it would bother him when the time came, but I'm sure I would also be happy because for once, I would be the one who had knew it would happen and that will feel good.
