Then I Quit [BL]

This is My Fiancé!

That evening I make Killeen clean the restroom saying that I'll mop and vacuum the front.

"Seriously, what happened in the restroom?" Freddie asks me again for the fifth time.

"Go do your job," I snare at him, "and what do you even do with your money anyway?"

I put the mop into the dirty detergent and squeeze it with the handle.

"I save it," Freddie tries to help me do my easy job description.

"I got. Anyway, that's not what Killeen told me," I think I sound annoyed but I am not.

"I don't know what you're saying," then he gives up and goes into the kitchen again.

As I straightened my back for finishing the last thing on my list, I notice Ralph's car parked in the front. I really don't want Freddie and Ralph to meet each other. It always end the same way.

Mrs Forman even decided to split the three of us up in her class. Luckily, that was the only class the three of us are in it at once.

When I clock out, I am reminded of Dan and Fred so without telling Freddie that I'm leaving, I rush to Ralph's car.

He greets me with a face that is waiting to be kiss. I kiss two of my fingers and then placed them on his lips.

"What? But I want more than that," he smiles as he hold onto my hand. "You're so adorable."

"Gray said he'll pick me up later," which I text Gray with my free hand.

"So my house?" I nod.

"Ralph, can you stop being so possessive?" I try to sound unbiased.

"Yes I can," he pauses and then demands, "when Fred stops touching you."

"He's my best friend," I wine a little.

"But I'm your fiancé," Ralph's fingernails dig into my skin almost to the point of bleeding. "Should you not prioritize me over him?"

I didn't choose to be engage to you is what I want to retort back but I did choose to be engage to Ralph. I close my eyes releasing myself from this world. I am tired.

" I beg you, Gabe, just be my wife."

I ignore him and pretend to be sleeping. He touches the skin on my neck and then goes back to holding my hand.

"Ah, shit!" Ralph steps on the break and my body jerks forward. My eyes shot open.

"Are you okay?" He asks me. I nod my head and my hands search his body for any bleeding. "Don't worry about me."

"Stay in here," and then Ralph steps out. He kneels in front of the car. I can't see who or what we hit.

Then Ralph stands up and follows by Jen. I am surprised and disobey Ralph by stepping out.

"Are you okay?" I greet my stepbrother with worries. I knew Jen and Ben and their mother hated me so I didn't even try to hug Jen.

"Gabe!" To my surprise, Jen runs into me and hugs me tightly with tears flowing down his sunken cheeks.

I pat my half brother on the back and say, "What's wrong?"

He continues to cry and it seems he won't ever stop.

"How about we get inside the car? It is winter," Ralph suggests and we do just so.

I sit in the backseats with my stepbrother while I ask Ralph to take us to his house.

"No. We need to save Ben," Jen finally says something.

"Why? What's wrong with Ben?" I allow my brother to hide his crying face from Ralph. Although, Ben have always been the meaner of my two half brothers , I can't truly say I hate him or Jen.

"He-he, he at the house with mom," Jen shivers in my arms. I reach out my hand so that Ralph would give me his jacket so I can cover my brother with it; luckily, he understands.

I put the jacket onto Jen and comfort him, "Then shouldn't he be safe?"

Jen shakes his head like he have a tremor.

"What's going on in the house?" I rub my brother's back and asks Ralph, "May you take us to my old house?"

"You don't have to be so formal. I'm family too," Ralph smiles weakly at me through the rear mirror. I smile back at him.

"Gabe..."

"Yes?"

"Please save Ben?" Jen's tears and his shivering stops like he have a resolve.

"Of course. He is also my brother," Jen stares at me unbelievably. "You guys are and will always be part of my family."

"But why? Shouldn't you hate us? You don't make sense!"

"It doesn't have to make sense," I nod at myself hoping I made sense by saying that line.

Ralph stops at the drive through of my old house and all the bad memories flush back like a train plundering through the rain.

"Stay in the car, I'll go get Ben," I think I sound brave.

"Save mom too!" Jen calls out to me as I press the doorbell. I nod at him for his trust.

I ring it again. A third time. A fourth. Until it is the 14th time and I hear rich high heel steps rushing to the door.

Stepmother swings the door open and her grin welcome me back to hell, "Gabby! Mommy misses you!"

The joints of my knees feel like they would dislocate at any moment. My chin shivers as I look at her straight black silky hair.

My nerves calm when I feel Ralph's arm wraps around my waist.

"Good evening mother," Ralph greets stepmother, "I'm Gabby's fiancé, Ralph."

Stepmother's eyebrows raise, eyes widen, and an awkward grin widens into a full grown American smile.

"Gabby! You should've let me meet Ralph before being engaged to him," she gently slaps my arm and invited us in. She doesn't see Jen in the car.

Once we are inside, Ben is nowhere to be found.

I am really trying to recover from finals 😂 Hope you guys enjoyed it! Thank you for reading!! ❤️❤️
