GABRIELLA'S POV:

"We've checked everywhere he goes to; King's Gym, Car racing arenas, his uncle's airport, even parks, beaches and restricted areas, still, nothing." Drake huffed. "I swear to God, once I see André, I'm gonna beat the hell out of that boy." He said angrily. "What if he isn't in L.A?" He asked me and u shook my head.

"There's a possibility but, I don't think so." I said.

"By the way, were you afraid of Aunt Anna?" He smiled at me and looked back at the road.

"Who?" I asked.

"André's mom?"

"OH! Yeah, I was. I was even about to faint."

"Why? Aunt Anna is the calmest, gentlest, sweetest, nicest woman I have ever met. She's like a mother to me."

"You know the whole Chloe stuff. It's just..." I said and he replied with an oh.

****Flashback****

"Gabriella." She called me and I turned to meet her.

"Can I talk to you?" She asked and her husband looked intently at the both of us. "Alone?"

"Uhhhh..." I became scared and looked at Andrea for rescue but she didn't get me, instead, she nodded for me to go. "Ummmm..." I stared at her.

"I promise I won't take much of your time." She added.

"What d-d-do you want to talk about?" I stuttered and cleared my throat. We were in a passage way in the ground floor alone.

I kept on looking at the floor with the aim of evading her intimidating but calm stare.

"Gabriella. Umm, Andrea and the others keep on saying that the only way for André to come back is if he listens to you." I trembled immediately as soon as she took my hands in hers and I fought back the urge in removing them from her soft and tender grip. My legs began to wobble when I looked into her eyes. The beautiful gray eyes that unfortunately wasn't passed to any of her children who took upon their father's stormy and dangerous hazel orbs. "....please can you promise me you can bring him back?" She pleaded with her eyes.

It hit me that she oddly looked familiar. Like I've met her before and I knew her.

"I'll be forever grateful to you. I need him home, Gabriella." Tears welled up in her eyes and they immediately became a water fall. "H-He hasn't eaten anything throughout today and the only thing in his stomach is alcohol. Please—"

"Mrs. Lombardi, I'll try my best. I'll try." I said and I don't know why I took my hand to her cheek then softly wiped her cheeks. Just seeing her cry made me extremely upset.

****End Of Flashback****

"She believes that I can calm down his anger." I told Drake.

"That's true."

"Drake, I think I love André." I said and all of a sudden, the car came to a stop and Drake stared at me with widened eyes and a dropped jaw.

"Yes! I knew it! I knew it! I told Jake and Wes but they didn't agree. Those two idiots owe me five thousand dollars." He continued driving as he look through the rear mirror and glared at them at our back, they were following us. "So my little sister is in love with my other little brother........ That is so weird!" He said and we both bursted into laughter. "So, since we are letting out secrets, let me share mine."
