[i]"I didn't... Mean to say you were a lesbian."[/i] Gabriel responded, shocked. He didn't mean to offend her, and feared that he had until she chuckled. His expression lightened.
When she entered the bathroom with the clothes, he accepted them, looked at them, and put them aside. He looked at her. [i]"I wontt ask you how you are feeling, or if you are alright. I've seen a lot of that face you're making right now."[/i] he said suddenly, complete honesty expressing his facial features. [i]"And I'm smart enough to put two and two together. I can guess why you have your brother's clothes here."[/i]
Gabriel put his hand on Vanessa's shoulder. The others watched from the living-room, understanding, or minded their own business. They respected Gabriel and now even Vanessa. [i]"So I won't ask. I will say however that if you need to ventilate or if you want to talk about what's troubling you, me and my entire group out there will listen. You've been a true friend to us so far, and shown kindness in just a few days that we've never seen in years."[/i] he removed his hand from her shoulder and ran it through his hair, which was getting in his face. [i]"So we're here for you."[/i]
He smiles, finishing his little speech. Robyn rolled her eyes at the goofy fussball attitude of Gabriel, but secretly she loved it. The others were basicly smiling and grinning at each other.
