"Gain a sister lose a sister," she said it flippantly but it was obvious how much Delilah's words had stung her, she didn't even bother to keep the hurt from her eyes. In all truth, Gabriella's family was everything to her, sure she hated them at times, and throughout most of her teenage years, but they were there for her and she loved them, so it was hard for her to hear how Delilah had just tossed them aside and picked up a new one so easily.
"Do what you want Delilah, you always have."

She looked at Gabriella above the rim of the mug, licking her lips as got to some of the ice cream in the float. Finally she set it down and spoke softly, reaching across to put her hand over her cousin's if she would let her
"It's not even like that. I can be there for you too you know. We used to share everything, complete honesty right? We can be like that again"

Though she didn't flinch or pull away from Delilah's touch, she made no movement to return the favour either, and her eyes were still cold and steely. "I don't want to be like that again Delilah, I wanted us to be always like that..." she'd come to terms with it now, she had Triston, Corbin even Cissy or Alli to confide in now when she needed them, she couldn't put that kind of trust back in Delilah at the moment, not after how dispensible Gabby had been last time. Taking a deep breath, she shook her head slightly. "Fine," was all she could manage.
Picking up her glass that she wished was something muhc stronger than lemonade, she took a large refreshing mouthful, at least that made her feel better.

"It works both ways you know. Would it kill you all to try and be supportive of my decisions too. Aside from father occassionaly coming to a game every now and again, the rest of you act like quidditch is the bane of your existence. You should all come out this weekend like I suggested. It's not like Enyo is going to strike in that public of a place. And if she does? Well you will have gotten what you wanted"

In Gabby's mind, Delilah was just digging herself into an even bigger hole. The girl hadn't even bothered to remember what Gabby liked and disliked, after all she had made it perfectly clear all her life that she hated Quidditch and everything about it, so why would she go a to a match? "It seems you have been spending so much time with your new 'sister,' that you have forgotten what your old one thinks about sports, maybe it would be different if you were playing, but I have no interest in watching Maj play, or anyone else. Your father's business and Quidditch interest is not my problem, but you know very well Aunt Narcissa can not make it to a Quidditch game"

It wasn't the most mature thing in the world to do, but she had been hanging out with one of the biggest troublemakers in all of London, so it shouldn't of been too suprising
"Well, thanks for acting like you cared anyways"
As she stood up and walked past Gabriella, she dumped the rest of her float, butterbeer, ice cream and all, over her head

(( haha made me chuckle ))
Not only had her cousin become as ridiculous as the Weasley girl, but it seemed she had become as blind as well. As the words left the girls mouth Gabby stood up in anger, all through her Hogwarts years she had believed this girl to be the closest thing she had in the world and now she was acting as if everything wrong that had happened between them was because Gabby didn't support Delilah's stupid career and her new family.
"How dare you," as she raised her voice, everyone in the parlour turned towards them, eyes wide she saw Delilah attempt to pour the float over her head but she managed to knock it away at the last moment, resulting in her only being splashed with the what had been inside. "It looks like you've become the perfect little Weasley, at least our arrogance has reason, you choose it to cover up your insecurities," with that she picked up her bag and marched across the shop, making her exit with everyone staring still.

"Nice having this chat with you Gabster!" She yelled at the departing back of her cousin, before flicking a few sickles to the woman behind the counter, and going back to scoop up her cat who had wandered off at all the commotion

Over her shoulder she gave the girl a disgusted look. "I should have known you'd end up warped" with that she opened the door and slammed it, not bothering to pay for her drink, no one would argue with her after all. AS she walked down the street her lips were pursed, her jaw tight, but inside she couldn't deny how much it had hurt to hear Delilah say she had never cared.
