Breaking Point

"How's Gabby?" asked Alice to her mother on the phone.

"He's still not talking to anyone and he barely left his room," Lily replied with a worrisome voice

Alice opens her mouth to speak but she can't find the phrase to say.

It's been a week now since Bryan and Cooper left together with Alison leaving only a single note for Gabby.

No one knows about her leaving except herself and Cooper but...

I have an idea about her having second thoughts about her relationship with Gabby and now I feel like I am to blame for his misery.

Gabby is heartbroken because I wasn't able to convince Alison to stay.

Those are the words that keep on repeating inside her head.

"How about you, how're you? Is your Dad taking care of you?" Lily asked making Alice's senses come back

"Mom, I'm not 7 anymore," she replied

Vinz fetched Alice 3 days ago at the orphanage right after he got back from overseas due to business affairs.
