The colors of life

Some funsters threw Indian color powder in the air which hurdled through the air and sparkled in the beams of the spotlights. Gecko and Bongo found it especially amusing to rub the colors all over their faces. Everyone laughed and felt exuberant until Ana pulled Leyla to her in shock. „Leyla, please don't snap but I think I just saw my half-brother over there by the stage. “

Leyla turned her head in a rush; „Gabe? Are you sure? “Ana nodded sadly; „Yeah, I'm sure. “Leyla was anxiously clinging to Ana's arm. „You can't leave me alone with him under any circumstances. He's been after me for so long, trying to hit on me. Last week he tried to kiss me. “

Ana looked at her with big, open eyes that looked like two saucers; „He tried to kiss you? “She burst out laughing and covered her mouth with her hand. The thought of Gabe chatting up Leyla was too good and downright ridiculous. „Unfortunately, this whole thing isn't as amusing as you make it out to be, Ana. This guy legitimately stalked me and turned up wherever I was and then he apologized to me about Gregory's death. He didn't mean to, blah, blah. “Ana was speechless for a short moment, then she contained herself. „I can't believe this. I think something else is behind this, not his newfound love for you. Either, disgusting as he is, he finds it funny you're Gregory's ex and wants to get his own back on him even after his death, or he knows and that's why he's getting at you. Just be careful. Gabe is insane and belongs in a mental institution before messing up world peace one day. “

Leyla grinned at her. „As if world peace wasn't in danger as it is, I don't think we need Gabe for that. But jokes aside, he scares me. A few days ago, he asked me if I wanted to come to the summer festival with him. Unbelievable, considering he tried to kill Gregory last year and then burned the Di Santos' house down. Not to mention he was responsible for Alex' and Sebastian's deaths too. “She looked off into the distance reflectingly, „I seriously ask myself if he forgot all that or if he thinks I did. I just don't know how to act around him sometimes. I really don't want to risk anything. “
