Protect

Gabe watches his little sister and her boyfriend, tries to analyze their relationship. He's not so sure he likes it.

Gabe knows he should be happy for Natalie—she finally has someone to talk to, someone who'll adore everything she is. She deserves that. But he can't help but think that he should be the one protecting his sister, not Henry.

There are no words to describe how jealous he is seeing Henry rescue Natalie from the clubs, seeing him hug her to him and whisper that everything's all right—he's here now.

Gabe is Natalie's big brother. He should be the one getting the texts, the one going out to rescue her. It should be his job to protect her.

But it can't be his job—he's already too busy being the one she needs protecting from.
