Gabriel

As soon as we pulled into the carpark, it already felt too soon to be back. I might have objected this suspension bullshit but it was the best month I'd had in a while, who wouldn't enjoy a spontaneous trip through Europe 
Everyone started parting the moment we walked through the corridors, my brothers and I hadn't been here for a month but it was nice to know that people hadn't lost their respect for us
"Do you think we missed much?" Nico asked but I shook my head
"Of course we haven't this school hasn't changed in the entire 4 years I have been here. It ain't going to start now" I said rolling my eyes opening my locker while the boys did the same to theirs 

Some people think it's a confidence that all our lockers are in the same block, but it isn't. This is the only place we have that nobody can have an excuse to bother us. There are 5 lockers here and we take up 4. The 5th is paid for by our father so it's always spare

"Never say never G" Luca said, I was right and they all knew that. Being the oldest here meant I had suffered this torture longer then all of them, I knew the drill. And these bland 4 walls always stayed the same 

"Sorry, I uh need to get passed" A small brunette said trying to get Marco to move off of the 5th locker
"And why do you need to?" Luca asked looking the girl up and down
"That's my locker?" She said with a raised brow looking at all of us before the boys looked at me, I could see the smirks all over their faces already growing
As I nod to Marco he holds his hands up in defence jumped up from the locker letting her pass to open her locker
"Never say never" Luca muttered to me again while I glared at him

I continued my gaze over to the newest addition who was already trying to hurry out of here. Tucking a piece of hair behind her ear as she threw some books into her locker and taking out a few out before replacing the empty space with her bag.
After a few moments she closed her locker lightly before attempting her overdue escape. But things weren't going to be over with that fast

"Your name" I said standing directly in front of her
"Excuse me?" she asked placing her books against her chest causing her cleavage to be more apparent
"I asked for your name" I repeated firmly, she shook her head at me, her brown eyes flooding with innocence but always that little hint of bite
"Actually you didn't. You ordered my name" She said stepping to the side and stepping past me

As I swung past to continue my gaze I could here my three brothers burst out laughing, not at her. But at me.. I don't know who this little girl thinks she is, but I need to know more

-- 

"Boys what are you doing in here?" our Mum asked walking into the media room at home. Since we left school, I've recruited all the boys to help find out more about the girl. Nobody at school knows shit. They have no idea about her name let alone where she came from 
"Is Dad home?" I asked earning a tilted raised brow from mum
"What have you done this time Gabriel, why are you asking about your father?" She asked but I sighed turning back to my computer in front of me
"She's a ghost man, leave it alone" Luca reminded me but I refuse to give up this easily 

"She? There is a girl?" Mum asked right as Dad stepped foot into the media room
"Do I want to know why we are all in here?" He asked
"Your son is obsessed with a girl" Marco said
"Well I have 4 sons, can we narrow it down" Dad asked looking between us before his eyes landed on me 

"Who has the 5th locker" I asked him earning nothing but a smirk
"Gabriel, you were the last I thought would be concerned about that" He said
"She disrespected me, I want to know her name" I rebutted
"Her name is Ella, Ella Morrison and if you dare do anything to make that girls life difficult you'll be out on your ass faster then you can say Mummy" He warned making all of my brothers ears prick up.
Who was Ella and why was my Dad suddenly do protective over her

It didn't take Mum and Dad long to disappear while I stood there rethinking everything he had said but none of it make any fucking sense

"Didn't Dad go to school with someone name Morrison?" Nico asked making me look at him
"So what? It's Dad's friends daughter? Why would that matter?" I asked but all the boys shrugged
"Well brother, you got your name. If you don't mind I'll be dipping" Luca said nudging me as he walked out with the twins in tow

Ella Morrison 

It didn't take long to find her Instagram but I was naïve to think it wouldn't be private. Most are now a days 

The limited access only made this entire situation more frustrating

The limited access only made this entire situation more frustrating. But what peeked my interest more was the date in her Bio. I wanted to know what it meant, what happened 6 months ago that was life changing enough to warrant that commitment

"Gabe, nice to hear from you" My Uncle Lorenzo said the moment he answered the call on the second ring
"You know Uncle Lorenzo. I need a favour, can your little hacker get me access to an private Instagram account with it notifying them?" I asked before hearing a chuckle

"To I sense my oldest Nephew has a little crush?" He asked, the smirk evident in his tone
"It was a yes or no question Uncle" Was all I responded earning  another chuckle

"I'm sure we can figure something out Gabriel" was music to my ears moments later
