Gabriel had barely even wanted to go to school. He wanted to stay home and practice his telekinesis more. He hadn't mastered it yet, after all, and that was much more exciting than anything that was bound to happen at school. But he knew he had to go in order to not let his mother know anything was up. The last thing he wanted to do right now was make her suspicious. Not when they were going to be leaving soon anyways.

Which was why he was sitting in chemistry class now, listening to the instructions from his teacher over the experiment they were conducting. It wasn't really enjoyable, working with someone who hated his guts, but he didn't see any reason to go out of his way to switch partners. It would be a hassle. So he dealt with Jane and her death glares and just focused on his work.

But apparently, he was focusing a little too hard at one point, because the glass test tube Jane was holding over the flames shattered from his telekinesis and the liquid inside caused the flames to shoot up, lighting her hair on fire.

"Oh my god, what happened, my hair, my hair, someone get something for my hair," She screeched in a voice that could only be described as shrill. But before anyone could grab anything, the smoke reached the smoke detector, causing the fire alarm and sprinklers to go off, soaking everyone.

Jane wasn't hurt, luckily, but about half of her hair was burnt off now, and she'd probably have to cut the rest off to match. Gabriel was trying his best not to laugh as the teacher ushured them outside for regular fire procedures.

He had always imagined escaping this stupid, mundane, pointless life of his and now, thanks to Elle, it was finally going to happen. As he pressed her against the tree, his body grew more rigid, almost overwhelmed with the intensity of the situation. He brushed his lips against hers, whispering softly. "I love you too."

Gabriel was so lost in the moment he didn't even hear Mrs. Springhorn, the English teacher, sneak up on them and clear her throat loudly.

Elle snapped her head to the side, instantly blushing with annoyance, and almost raised her hand with a grating itch to kill the woman. In fact, she probably would have if everyone wasn't so close and would undoubtedly notice, and that would be more trouble than it was worth.

Her blue eyes flashed though, and then darkened as she looked on the clearly appalled and angry teacher. They were having a moment, and now it was ruined. If she didn't deserve to die for that, then Elle didn't know what else she could do to deserve it more.

"What do you think you're doing out here?" she exclaimed, flushed. "This is grossly inappropriate! Put your clothes back on right now!"

[justgabriel.livejournal.com]

"But we're not done yet," Gabriel snapped back in annoyance, holding Elle close to him now, his grip tight and possessive. The last thing he wanted to do was stop. This woman was ruining everything. He didn't see what the big problem was, really.

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

Elle gasped softly, her body crushed in his embrace. She whimpered, hitched her leg around him tighter for balance, although his arms were as rigid as steel; she was sure she couldn't fall even if she wanted to.

She giggled quietly, nuzzled into his neck. There was a fierceness, a darkness in his eyes that distilled her instantaneous anger and made her a little giddy. If he wasn't going to be a good little boy, she saw no reason to pretend, either.

Mrs. Springhorn clearly expected more alarm however, and she bristled, gaping for just a split second. "Young man, you will do as I say!" she exclaimed shrilly.

[justgabriel.livejournal.com]

Gabriel resisted the urge to see just how much damage he could with his telekensis. There were too many people around to try something like that, he knew there were, but that didn't stop the idea from being tempting.

But still he didn't move at all.

Mrs. Springhorn fumed for another moment, rearranging her glasses. "WEll, fine, we'll see what your mother has to say about this," And without another word, she stormed back off toward the building.

That was enough to shake Gabriel out of the moment. He pulled away from Elle now, pulling up his pants in a hurry. The last thing he needed was his mom being reported to.

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

A displeased whimper left her lips as he released her, and she pouted, tugging her dress down, frustrated and unsatisfied as he scrambled to put on clothes, now. The stupid bitch was gone!

All because of the 'm' word. Elle wanted to gag.

"No," she whined, and reached for his collar, trying to tug him towards her. "She's gone now; don't stop."

Maybe it was a self-fulfilling prophecy, asking him to continue, and knowing he'd probably brush her off in favor of his mother's fragile nerves. But maybe Elle wanted a reason to hate the annoying woman, whether they both liked game shows or not.

[justgabriel.livejournal.com]

"But if I catch up with her, I can stop her from calling my Mom," He muttered, pulling away from her again. He tucked in his shirt and zipped up his pants, a definite sign that he was finished for now.

This was the last sort of thing his mother needed to hear. His leaving was going to be a big enough shock on her. She didn't need added stress.

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

Elle's pout deepened and her eyes flashed, and she grabbed the waist of his pants, pulling him closer viciously. "They're going to call her anyway, dummy. We were having sex," she hissed scandalously. Typical, of course. So worried about his mother he couldn't even use common sense.

[justgabriel.livejournal.com]

"I know what we were doing," He hissed back. "But I also know how she's going to react if she finds out. She doesn't need to hear this when she's already going to find out I'm leaving later on this week. It'll be too much for her, Elle."

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

A sneer twisted her lips, and Elle let out a disgusted, impatient euch. "Oh, please," she shot back. "A few doses of reality will only do her some good. She's borderline delusional." Mean, perhaps, but Elle couldn't help it.

Besides, maybe if Virginia knew her son was an actual man, she'd back off.

[justgabriel.livejournal.com]

"She's not delusional," He snapped back, running his fingers through his hair to straighten it back out as he headed toward the school once more. "She's just...lonely. I'm all she has anymore."

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

Elle's fingers clenched into fists, something in her shifting, some part of her thrown off a high ledge into a deep, black abyss. She rounded the tree, nearly jogging through the crowd of students now lining up to head back inside, some paying attention to her and Gabriel's little display and some not. Elle was way past giving a shit who saw anything anymore, least of all right now.

All she had anymore? Her gaze was locked with the back of Gabriel's head. Virginia didn't have him. She had him. All of him. He was hers, and Elle shook with murderous lust, her eyes glazing over with blind rage.

She didn't even think, she just grabbed his wrist, pulling with all her strength to stop him, to spin him around towards her. She'd never felt more capable of placing her hand over his chest and burning his heart out.

Some of the students jostled her at the sudden stop, but she didn't care as they bumped and milled towards the entrance. She merely grabbed Gabriel's wet collar and pulled him down, her lips trembling as she whispered, "You're mine."

[justgabriel.livejournal.com]

A shiver ran down his spine, and he'd be lying if he claimed there wasn't something almost comforting about her dark possessing tone. She wanted to own him, and only him. That was special wasn't it? If that wasn't, he wasn't sure what was.

He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her closer her as his expression softened, just a little bit. "I know that," He whispered softly. "But she doesn't. Not yet."

He just wanted to give his mother a few more days of comfort before he left, was that so much?

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

Elle let him drag her closer, but she was still stiff, and her knuckles were white, her fingers aching at the tightness of her grasp. Her wide, doe eyes shone vacantly, her lips a thin, cruel line. Instantly the direction of her thoughts turned, and she wanted with every fiber of her being to make Virginia pay.

She should know. She should know now. Elle couldn't think of any other way to show her besides killing her, nice and slowly. How sick she would feel knowing Virginia still loved Gabriel, and Gabriel still loved her. No matter what he said, she knew he did. Just like she loved her Daddy. Anything else was a big fat lie.

"Why are you protecting her?" she said, her voice deadly calm. "You're mine. She should know."

[justgabriel.livejournal.com]

"She will know," He hissed back softly, running his fingers through her hair. "It is so bad to want to let her have a few more days before we leave?"

He knew he loved Elle more, he did, but that didn't stop the fact that he did still love his mother. And for a long time, she had been all he had, it was only right that he wanted to protect her, right?

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

"Yes," she choked out, past debate or argument. He had to realize, like she did. Before, their parents had been the exception. Didn't he see now? Didn't he understand how silly and naive that had been? There couldn't be any exceptions. They couldn't share like that.

She was seeing everything so clearly now. She hadn't needed her father. He didn't need his mother, either.

[justgabriel.livejournal.com]

"Why? Why does it matter that I want to give her this small comfort?" He asked in annoyance. He was leaving his mother for her, wasn't that enough? What did she want from him?

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

"She doesn't deserve it," she spat, and her fingers uncurled only to claw vengefully at his neck, just hard enough to made his skin a pretty red that faded back to white. She just wanted to mark him all over, and the urge to keep him all to herself nearly drowned her. She could hardly keep her head over the water, and she didn't want to, pressing against him so hard it hurt. "She doesn't deserve you."

[justgabriel.livejournal.com]

He didn't know how to respond to that, to how she was acting. They always had been rather possessive of one another, but this was a little extreme, even for them. "She won't have me for much longer."

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

She stared at him, trying to reach past her rage. The calculation and uncertainty in his eyes twisted her stomach painfully, and she knew then that she needed to calm down, if only for him.

"I'm sorry," she said hollowly, although her fingers still dug into his neck. Her small body trembled, and she forced her eyes to his chest. She could hardly breathe she was so worked up, and she wasn't even sure what she was apologizing for. For freaking him out? For what she wanted to do--even though she hadn't said the words?

She wasn't so heartless to know the pain she was so willing to inflict on him. She'd inflicted it on herself, but it seemed like such a small price to pay. An eye for an eye. They'd be even.

[justgabriel.livejournal.com]

"It's okay," He whispered softly, pressing a kiss behind her ear as he tried to calm his own breathing down now. Was it okay though? He wasn't quite certain. That look in her eyes, that dark, deep, twisted possessing look she had had, he had almost drowned in it. It both excited and almost terrified him all at once.

For the first time, he had been honestly scared of her.

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

The kiss fluttered her eyes, tingled her all over, and she finally relaxed enough to step back a bit, to twine her arms under his and hook her hands over his shoulders. By now, all the students were almost inside, and it was just them on the trampled, green grass.

It didn't feel okay, even though she sighed and nodded at his words, resting against him. Her mind wrestled in the silence, and her heart ached. She knew despite her indecision over hurting him, something had to be done.

She tilted her head up, blinking slowly, her lips parted with slowing breath to gaze up at him. "I love you," she whispered, and she'd never meant it more than in that moment.

[justgabriel.livejournal.com]

Even though he knew they should go in soon before they got in more trouble (no doubt that his mother had been called by now anyways) but he couldn't step away, he couldn't move, not just yet anyways. His head was still reeling, and he was still trying to make sense of everything.

There had been something in her eyes there for a moment, something he had only seen glimpses of in the past.

But he forgot it as she whispered softly, soothing him just a little. "I love you too." And he did. No matter what, he did.

[electrocutesy.livejournal.com]

He did. She knew he did, and she nodded in understanding, in relief, letting out a long, sweet exhale. A cool breeze feathered across her cheeks, made her shiver against him. He was so solid, so warm, even though his clothes were damp.

She loved him so much.

"Will you do something for me?" she whispered.

[justgabriel.livejournal.com]

"It depends," He answered carefully. He had never been one to agree with something before finding out what it was first. It just wasn't a good idea. "What do you want me to do?"
