"Shut up Gabriella. She was talking to me." Sabrina said

"Whatever. I'm just trying to say this. Maybe he is gay just like Peter."

"I'm not gay." Peter said as he walked past us.  Gabriella rolled her eyes.

"I know what I'm talking about." she said

"No you don't idiot. Even though Nicholas hasn't proposed doesn't mean he is gay. Just because your high school crush turned out to be gay, doesn't mean Nicholas is." Crystal said

"Hey! How am I supposed to know that?"

"When he starts hitting guys on their butt. Also when he gave you fashion tips. Then he would ask the guys for their cell number."

"Fine. I didn't know, but everyone else didn't know either."

"Actually, everyone in the school knew that he was gay. The only person who didn't know is you."

"Girls? Can I finish my story?" Sabrina asked

"Sorry." Gabriella and Crystal said at the same time. 

"Thanks." she said. Sabrina turned to me.

"Well, I already told you that we have been together for almost 2 years. For the past month, he hasn’t proposed. Is there something wrong with me?"

"Yes." Gabriella said

"Gabriella!" Crystal yelled

"What? She asked a question."

"There nothing wrong with you." I said

"Then why haven't he proposed?" Sabrina said

"I don't know. Did you ask him?"

"Of course not."

"Maybe... he might be nervous."

"Nicholas never gets nervous."

"Have he been busy?"

"No. He always hangs out with the guys."

"See... Nicholas is gay. You will just have to live with it." Gabriella said. Sabrina gasped.

"What if Gabriella right? What if he is gay? Oh my God. I'm dating a gay man." Sabrina said

"He can't be gay. I can prove it to you." Crystal said. "Nicholas? Can you come here? Please." Nicholas came into the living room.

"Yes?" he said

"Are you gay?" Crystal asked. Nicholas looked at Crystal in shock.

"Of course not! Why would you ask that?"

"Gabriella said you were gay." Nicholas looked at Gabriella and frowned.

"Grow up Gabriella. I am not gay." Nicholas left the room. Gabriella gasped.

"I guess I was wrong." she said

"Well, since he’s not gay, I still want to know why he haven't proposed. I have put pictures of the engagement ring inside the house. I also put it into the car. After all that ink I wasted, he still haven't proposed." Sabrina said.

"I thought he took you out to eat." Crystal said

"He did. He said it was important. I thought he was going to propose, so you see that I dressed up. When we got to the restaurant, he told me he got the promotion at his job." Sabrina said

"That’s good." I said

"Oh, I'm not finish. He got down on one knee holding a small box." Sabrina said as she was about to cry. 

"Aww. He proposed." I said

"No. He was tying his shoe. I felt so embarrassed when I was crying yes. I just told him I was talking on the phone. When he sat down, he gave me the small box."

"Then he proposed." Sabrina cried some more. 

"No. Inside were these." She took out the velvet box and opened it. Inside was diamond earring. 

"That looks cute."

"Lea, Don't lie to her." Gabriella said

"I'm not lying." I said

"Those earrings are not cute." 

"Why you say that?"

"You can see that these earrings are 10 kt. He can do better than that. Victor can do better than that. He can give me a 50 kt."

"Gabriella. If you don't shut up, I will shove my fist to your face so hard; you wouldn't be able to see for a few hours." Sabrina said. Gabriella gasped.

"I'm not the one crying because Nicholas didn't propose." Gabriella said

"Shut up Gabriella!!"

"What is your problem? I'm just trying to help. You need a chill pill."

"Crystal. You better get her. I'm about to go off on her."

"Ew, don’t you dare. If you about to go off, go to the bathroom. This is 200 dollar dress. You would not be ruining it."

"What?" I said. Crystal touched my shoulder and shook her head.

"Ignore her." Crystal said

"What?" Gabriella said

"That's it! I had enough!" Sabrina said. She got up and tackled Gabriella. The love seat tipped over. The guys came in. Nicholas pulled Sabrina off of Gabriella. Caroline came into the living room and frowned. 

"What's going on in here?" she said.

"Nothing. Go back to the kitchen and help Mom cook. Ok?" Christopher said. Caroline nodded and went back in the kitchen.

"You messed up my hair!" Gabriella yelled. She looked at her hand and gasped.

"You broke my nails!" Gabriella started to cry. Victor held her while she cried. Sabrina pushed Nicholas away.

"Don't touch me!" Sabrina yelled

"What is wrong with you?" Nicholas asked. Instead of answering, she left the room. Nicholas looked at me.

"What's wrong with Sabrina?" Everyone looked at me. I blushed.

"I think I hear my phone ringing." I said. I backed up until I bump into someone. I turned around, look up and saw Drake. I left out the living room. I went down the hallway to the staircase to get to the bedroom I was in. I stopped when I hear crying. I went to the door where I hear the crying and opened the door. I ducked when a vase was thrown out, so it hit the wall and broke. 

 

"Oh sorry Lea. I thought you were Nicholas." Sabrina said as she sat on the bed. I straighten up.

"It’s alright. I heard you crying."

"I'm sorry. You shouldn't have seen that."

"It’s alright. Is it safe to come in yet or are you going to throw something else?" Sabrina chuckled.

"It’s safe." I smiled and sat down on the bed beside her. I gave her a tissue. She wiped the tears away.

"Just to make you feel better, Gabriella just got a broken nails."

"It makes me feel better a little." she sighed.

"Why my life have to be difficult?"

"That's not true. You just are going through a rough time right now."

"Maybe I should be single like you."

"No you don't. You should not be me."

"Why not? You single."

"I know, but being single is disastrous."

"Then why do you stay single?" I look down at my hand.

"I just didn't find the right guy."

"Maybe I didn't find the right guy." I look back at Sabrina.

"If I knew that you and Nicholas didn't belong together, then I wouldn't have let both of you meet."

"I know. I know. I just want to know why he haven't proposed yet."

'Sigh' "Maybe he is not ready yet."

"But...”

"No. Nicholas is a great guy. Just give him more time. Ok?" Sabrina sighed and smooth her hair out her face.

"Ok." I smiled.

"Good." I stood up. I was about to leave, but Sabrina called my name. I turned to her.

"Yes?"

"I hope you find the right guy."

"Thanks." I turned and left from the room. 

'Maybe not' I thought to myself as I walked to my room

Chapter 5

 

I walk to the dining room as we were getting ready for dinner. It was a long dining room table. I sat down next to Sabrina since she wanted me to sit between her and Nicholas. It felt awkward eating with vampires. Everyone had a glass of blood to drink instead of me. I had a glass of wine. A few butlers came around and take the plate cover. There was mashed potatoes, steak, and asparagus. Everything smell so good. Before we could eat, Mrs. Knight clink the glass with a fork to get everyone to be quiet. Everyone looks at her as she stood up.

 

“I would like to make a toast to Lea.” Mrs. Knight said. She looks at me and smile. “I would like to thank you for deciding to come all this way to help Drake. As soon as Sabrina told me how you was able to help her find Nicholas, I knew I had to come to Seattle…But, I know it must be very hard for you to leave your Dad. It took a lot of guts.” Mrs. Knight wipe the tears from her eyes. Seeing her like this made me tear up. “I’m so sorry you had to leave him. I was wondering why you decided yes, but we are so grateful for you to be here. Thank you so much for being here.” I smile.

 

“Your welcome.” I said. We’ll pick up our glass and clink glasses. As soon as I sat my cup down, I got up, went to Mrs. Knight, and gave her a hug. She hugs me back and kept whispering “Thank you.” After dinner, I stayed in my room and start planning what I'm going to do tomorrow. When I was done, I got ready for bed. I put on my night gown and brushed my hair. I brushed my teeth as I was thinking about tomorrow. Tomorrow is going to be long. How am I supposed to find his soul mate? First, I need to teach him how to treat ladies. After I was done, I went to the bed and lay down. I couldn't even fall asleep because I couldn't stop thinking about Dad. I groaned and put a pillow to my head. I can still remember how bad Mrs. Knight felt for me being here and not with Dad. I took the pillow off my face and looks at the ceiling. Everyone is depending on me to find Drake a soul mate…so it put a lot of pressure on me. How am I supposed to do that? My mind was all over the place. I groaned and sat up. 

 

"I need fresh air." I said to myself. So I got out of bed, put on my shoes and jacket, and left out the room. I went downstairs as quietly as I can and walked out the back door. The cool air blew against my face. It felt good. I walked around the garden. What am I doing here? I should be with Dad, not here. But the Knight family wants me to help Drake. How am I going to do that if Drake trying to get rid of me with his good looks and charm? Why can’t Drake take this seriously? I groaned. I walked around for a few more minutes trying to calm down. When I did, I waked back to the door. I tried to open it, but it wouldn't budge. "Crap." I'm locked out the house. I looked around until I saw the fence. That should lead to the front of the house. So I went to the fence and start climbing. When I was on top of the fence, I tried my best to not look down. "Oh God." I took a few more breaths.

 

"What are you doing?" I hear someone. I look over and I see Drake.

"Nothing. Just enjoying the view." I said He raised an eye brow at me.

"On the fence?"

"Yes. Now I'm getting off."

"Ok." Drake moved back and leaned against the side of the house. "I'm waiting."

"Ok. Be patient."

"Fine."

"Fine." I took another deep breath. I put one leg over the fence, then another. I turned around and start to climb down, but I ended up missing a step, so I end up falling. Thank God I landed on my knees. Even though I ended up scraping my hands, I was fine. Drake walked over to me and helped me up. My hair was blowing in my face. "Why didn't you catch me?"

"You were the one that acted like you knew what you were doing."

"Fine. Just fine." Drake smooth my hair out
