Gabriella put the dress back on the rack.
"It's too big."
"Oh, please. It was perfect!" Taylor told her.
"Yeah, but I personally liked the pink one. It went well with you hair!" Sharpay exclaimed.
"No…" Gabriella looked through the next rack. Sharpay looked at a confused Taylor and walked over to Gabriella, sitting her down and scooting closer to her.
"Gabriella…Listen. It's prom! This should be a happy time in your life! Troy asked you out! This is good for you. Just forget about your dad and the whole abandonment incident. Not to mention, Taylor and I have already found our dresses, and this is the fourth store I've been to with you. I'm tired! We need our beauty sleep! Prom is tomorrow!"
Gabriella turned away. "Yeah, easy for you to say!" she stood up and turned back to her friends. "Your dads are going to be there for you! They're going to be there to take your pictures, and to tell you how beautiful you look and stand at the door waving when you drive away! My dad's GONE! Eternally GONE." Her face was now streaked with tears.
"Gaby…" Sharpay looked stumped. Taylor had her mouth open. Gabriella wiped some of her tears away.
"I'm sorry. I just get so frustrated." She sniffed. "The truth is…"
"What?"
"I liked the second dress I tried on. The blue one in the first store. It was perfect. I was seriously considering buying it." Gabriella said with a tear.
"Then why-?"
"Because I don't wanna go home! I hate it there. It just reminds me so much of him. I just wanna hang out with my girlfriends. I don't wanna leave you guys. I don't wanna go through this alone. I just…I need you guys. Please…don't leave me like my Dad left me." Gabriella looked down.
Taylor looked at Sharpay, who stretched out her hand on put it on Gabriella's lap. She had a smile on her face. "Tell you what. Let's go get the blue dress. Then we can all go back to my house and order pizza or something. IT'll be fun. We'll have a GREAT prom."
Gabriella looked at her and smirked. "Thanks, That sounds fun."
