Elizabeth's pov

I walk in the kitchen and see Evans munching on some candy that I hide since Gabrielle came. We don't want her to be in a sugar rush 24/7 now do we?

"Chris, what do you want?" I ask as Gabi is hiding her face in my neck. "Nothing really. Just wanted to ask if you want to come to the carnival and why was there a child running away from me?" He ask still not paying attention to us.

"Um well if you'd get your face out of those candy and look at me for a second" he turns around quickly then turns back. "That was more than a second" I roll my eyes at his behaviour.

"Well, this is Gabrielle and she's staying here for a very long time" I tickle her side. "She's so cute" he walks over and was about to squeeze her cheeks but she backed away.

"She doesn't like people touching her" I tell him. He looks confused at me since I'm touching her right now. "She loves me that's why" he rolls his eyes and walks away to do whatever.

"Do you guys want to go to the carnival or not?" Chris ask as he closes a jar of something. I didn't even know we had that something. "Depends. Elizabeth has to come" Gabi speaks up.

I set her down and she walks over to him and taps his leg. "Can you pick me up?" He looks over at me and I nod. He picks her up and she goes to reach for the candy but I run over and stop her.

"Why can't I have candy?" She whines. "Well if we are going to the carnival, you'll have some there" she nods. "You can put me down now, mister" she demands.

Chris chuckles and sets her down. She walks over to me and grabs my hand. "But I want Elizabeth to come or else I'm not going. If not then I'll stay here with her" that made me smile.

"Of course I'll come"

Gabrielle's pov

We spent the rest of the day at the carnival. It was so much fun. I only been to one of those once and today was my second time.

The first time was with my mom and now it's with Elizabeth! I already like her more than my own mom but I know I shouldn't be saying that.

It's because she actually takes care of me and cares for me. My mom doesn't care about that.

"Earth to Gabrielle" I snap out of my thoughts when someone called my name. "Yeah?" I look up to see Elizabeth staring at me.

"I'm going to the bathroom if you want to come" I nod my head. I get up from my seat, which was on Chris' lap, and followed Elizabeth to the girls bathroom.

It was a little far so I grabbed hold of her hand. I didn't want to get lost in a huge crowd. "Here we are. Do you need to go?" She opens the door and I shake my head.

"You sure?" I nod my head and follow her deeper into the bathroom. There's plenty of separate bathrooms in one big bathroom. "Wait for me right here okay?" She points to the corner of the room where the bathroom she's going to use is right next to it.

"Yell if there's something wrong" "okay" she nods her head and goes into one of the separate bathrooms. I stand there, leaning on her door, waiting patiently.

As I waited, there's other people coming and going. Some with kids. Some that are old and even some that are around my age that went all alone.

"Well aren't you a cutie" I hear someone say. Sounds like an old lady from the sound of it. I look up and see a crusty face looking at me. It's all wrinkly and her breath smells like onions.

"Where's your mom, little one" she goes to reach my cheeks. Probably to squeeze them. I've seen those in movies. She was about to touch me but I slapped her hands away.

"Don't touch me and I have a name" I cross my arms across my chest trying my best not to give her that much attitude.

"Where's your mom?" She ask again reaching in her bag for some old people candy. I don't think she should even be having those. She literally doesn't have any teeth.

"I don't-" that's when Elizabeth opened her door. "Excuse me miss, do you need something?" She ask the lady nicely. "I was just asking where this little girl's mom is" she's annoying.

Really annoying.

"Well my mom is gone but I have another one" I look down to see Gabrielle standing there looking at the ground. "Why do you have another one?" The rude lady asks.

"Because she tasks care of me more than the other one" I smile to that but it's still sad. "Well who's your other mom?" She points to me and I wrap my arm around her.

She wraps her arms around my waist and smiles up at me. The old lady frowns. "That can't be right" I tilt my head to her comment.

"Why not?" Gabrielle ask as she leans closer to me. "Well, you're black" the lady points to her then towards me. "And your white" "I don't see the problem" I shrug my shoulders.

"That's wrong" "no, it's not. You're just being rude to us because that's what you wish you could have but you didn't so you're being rude and racist for no reason" I grab Gabi's hand so that we could walk away but she stops me.

"Can you carry me?" I can't say no to those beautiful eyes and smile. "Of course I can" I pick her up and leave this awful situation behind. I did wash my hands guys. Don't worry.

We walk out and see Chris waiting for us at the other side. "Look. Chris is waiting" Gabi points to his direction and waves at him.

He sees us and starts walking towards us. "What took you guys so long?" He ask as I set Gabi down. She grabs his hand and looks around to see what else we could do.

I explained what happened to him. He wasn't too happy about it either. "Um Elizabeth" I look down to see Gabs pointing behind me.

I slowly turn around and see the rude lady walk over. It took a minute but she finally reached us. I backed up a little but I somehow manage to back into Chris.

Chris doesn't think twice. He picks Gabi up and wraps an arm around me. "I have something else to tell you before I leave" the lady randomly says.

Why would we care? Does she think we're friends now? "Make it fast" Chris speaks up. "She shouldn't be that pretty if she's black" my jaw dropped. And when I say it did, it fell six feet under.

After she said that, she just turned around and left. "This bit-" I got stopped by a small hand covering my mouth. I look up and see Gabi giving me a sad smile.

"Don't listen to her okay? She's wrong in so many ways" Chris tells her. "I know" she hugs him and while that was happening, someone tapped my shoulder.

I turn around and see a kid with a Wanda consume on. She smiles at me. "Can you sign this please?" "Sure. What's your name?" She tells me her name and I sign her shirt.

She then waves goodbye at me then runs back to her parents who were waiting on the other side. "Wow, doesn't ask me for a signature" Chris pouts.

He sets Gabi down and she grabs my hand. "Can you sign something for me?" She ask him. "Sure" she lets go of my hand and grabs his.

They start talking about something else and I ignore it to give them privacy but I pray that it isn't something bad. Chris loves pranks. A little to much.

"We should head back before it gets dark" I basically said that to myself since no one replied to me. But I heard giggling.

I look back and my jaw drops once again. "Chris!" They both freeze. They both slowly turn their heads to look at me.

Gabi has half or Chris' name on her forehead. "What are you doing!?" I take the marker from his hands. Thank god it wasn't a sharpie.

"What? She wanted me to sign something" "and I didn't have anything to sign so I decided that my forehead would be good" Gabi gives me a small smile.

"Sorry" they both say. "Let's just to home" I sigh. "Wait for me! I have little legs" she runs after me. "Why are you guys running around in the parking lot!?" Chris yells.

"Because there's no cars" I tell him. I notice that Gabrielle has stopped in front of someone. Chris and I walk closer to her and when I see who it was, my jaw dropped for the third time in less than an hour.

Who do you think it is?????
