I'm redoing this story since it looks and sounds kind of sloppy to me. Any advice would help.

Chapter 1

Gabriella's POV

I was walking home from school around 4:30 PM when I saw a For Sale sign in our yard. I started walking faster. In my head I was thinking, it couldn't be ours, but I knew it had to be. But my mom promised we wouldn't move, so what was going on. Maybe I'm being Punk'd. Maybe I'm gonna meet Ashton.

I saw my mom waiting outside for me and I started jogging. I reach her and she pulled me into a hug, "I'm sorry, so sorry," she whispered.

I pulled away, "What do you mean," I asked her.

"Ella, we're moving," She said.

"What," I asked unbelievingly.

"My job wants me to go to Wichita Falls, they said they'd fire me if I didn't go," She wiping tears away from her bloodshot eyes. I could tell she'd been crying.

"But mom, you promised...and anyway, where is Wichita Falls anyway, sounds like some redneck town," I screamed.

"Ella, I'm sorry." She said back to me, but I ignored her.

I dropped my backpack and ran blindly down the street following my feet. I took the long way through the park and I stopped at a familiar door. I looked at my watch and saw it was about 6 now, I ran longer than I thought.

I rang the doorbell and waited.

The door open and Mr. Bolton stood there. "What are you doing here," He said with disgust.

"Is Troy here," I said quietly so I wouldn't start crying again.

"Yes, but he's doing the dishes, he can't come to the door now" He said starting to close the door in my face.

"No problem, I'm done now," I heard someone say. The door reopened and I saw Troy. He immediately wrapped me in a hug and rubbed my back while I cried into his chest. I heard his dad mumble under his breath as he walked off about how much he hated me.

"What's wrong," He asked after I had calmed down a bit.

"I, I'm m-moving," I stuttered before breaking down again.

"Wh-what do you mean, you're moving houses right," He asked.

"No," I shook my head, "States," I said.

"What, where to," He asked getting watery eyes.

"Some hick town in, in, I don't even know where it is," I said with tears.

"What's it called," He asked.

"Wichita Falls," I answered.

"Sounds like some town you'd stop in for gas when you're in an RV or something," He said seriously.

I smiled a little. "There's a smile," Troy said smiling at me.

I smiled more, "What's gonna happen to us," I asked him.

"I don't know," Troy answered honestly, "I hope it's the same."

"Me too," I said back.

Ring Ring

I heard the phone ringing and a few minutes later, Mrs. Bolton walked up.

"Hey, Gabriella, that was your mom, she's really worried. She wants to know of you're here or not," She said not realizing what she said.

"Um, Mrs. Bolton, If you're talking to me, then I'm here." I answered.

"Oh, right. And call me Lucille," She said laughing at her stupidity.

She finished on the phone with my mom and hung up.

"She wants you to go home," She said walking away so we could say goodbye.

"Looks like I'm going home now," I said sadly walking toward the door.

I felt myself being turned around and Troy pulled me closer to him and gave me a kiss.

I smiled and gave him a hug. "Bye," I whispered walking out of the house and back to mine.

I was thinking of ways I could possibly get out of moving. I could move in with Troy or Taylor or even Sharpay if I was desperate, but I don't think mom would let me. I was 16 right now, 17 in two months. So, two months and a year until I can move out and come back.

I reached my front door about an hour later and was greeted by a huge hug, "Where have you been," She yelled at me after pulling away, "I was so worried."

"You knew where I'd go, and you called Lucille and she told you I was there," I said angrily before walking to my room and locking the door.

I heard her follow and after a few minutes of knocking and pleading to open the door followed by a threat to get the key to my room, she gave up, "We're leaving next week," she said before heading to her room

I screamed at through my pillow against the wall then I grabbed my phone and texted Troy.

He replied a few seconds later.

WAT, NO, U CANT LEAVE

I responded.

I have no choice until im 18

I waited.

Wat do u mean

I smiled at his stupidity.

I graduate hs when im 18

I kept waiting.

O

I yawned.

i don't wanna go though

I got up to go talk to my mom.

I don't want u to go either

"Mom," I started.

"Yea," She said.

"I'm sorry for the way I reacted. I was just in shock." I apologized.

"It's fine. I would've acted the same way." She said.

"Where is Wichita Falls anyway," I asked curiously.

"About 2 hours north of Dallas." She answered.

"So, we can go to Dallas a bunch." I asked.

"We have to, the mall in the Wichita Falls is pretty limited. Not many good stores. A Hollister, Aeropostle and American Eagle, and then some cheap stores" She said.

I nearly passed out hearing that.

"Ok, night," I said hugging her.

Im going to bed, nite

I texted Troy back.

I was already fast asleep when he replied saying goodnight.

Ok, that's the first chapter.
