A/ N- hello readers! Wow I sound robotic. But anyways thanks for taking interest in this story. It is my first troyella story, not my first story ever or my first hsm story but I really love troyella stories (My Laker Boyfriend is one of my favorites EVER it's by Zac is my. Life and you should seriously check it out) and I decided I'd try and take a stab at writing one. I hope u like it please give me feedback on what you think, reviews are VERY appreciated!

NOTES- I did have a few inspirations for this story to make it what it is. One is an episode of the show "How I Met Your Mother" it's called 'Plus One' form season three and two the movie "Valentine's Day" (you'll see how) the rest is straight from my mind. Also, the word 'tia' means aunt in Spanish.

DISCLAIMER- I own absolutely nothing except a few OC's

I decided on comfy casual for the flight to New York. Sure I'd been on longer but still. I pulled on my skinny jeans, black Uggs, and a plain black tee with a crème colored cardigan pulled over. I tugged my hello kitty suitcase along while walking through the doorway to my room after putting my wavy black hair in a messy bun, damn this thing was heavy.

"Tia Luz I'm ready" I called into the living room of my small apartment. Since my mom…wasn't around anymore my aunt had offered to take me to the airport instead of my having to take a taxi, claiming that no teenager should be out and about alone at night, she also said I wasn't responsible because I didn't get an earlier flight.

I think it would've been a lot less responsible if I skipped the two journalism classes I had that afternoon, I'm nineteen and had adjusted to living without anyone but my two roommates to depend on, Those two roommates who were barely ever around, but I was still incredibly grateful when someone offered to do something for me. Sure it got lonely and sad but I kept myself busy so I wouldn't have to think about it, about what happened, and times like these when I get to see my mothers side of the family, well the only one who still talks to me is Tia Luz, but like I said I'm grateful.

Luz appeared now in the doorway to the kitchen where I was looking into our refrigerator for a Monster energy drink but was having trouble due to the clutter of Chinese food take out containers and pizza boxes that were stacked on top of each other. Kind of typical for first year college students I guess, though pretty gross for girls if you decide to be stereotypical about it.

"Gabriella, this is disgusting, how can you live like this?" my aunt exclaimed in her heavy Spanish accent as she peered over my shoulder into the mess. I quickly snatched a Sobe and slammed the beer stained door closed, standing in front of it so said beer stains wouldn't be visible.

"Tia, you didn't have to come all the way over here! Thank you so much now we're going to be late." I gestured towards the door and let her lead the way out, slinging my shoulder bag over my shoulder and pulling my suitcase.

Once we were in the car A/C blasting even in the mid-winter months. Or what were supposed to be anyways. It was always uncomfortably hot in Albuquerque except for February; February was my favorite month because it was always the perfect weather. Then again I do hate February because of Valentines Day. My thoughts were interrupted as Tia Luz spoke.

"When is Ashley's wedding Saturday or Sunday?" that brought me back to the whole reason I was going back to New York in the first place since I relocated after... the incident. Ashley, the girl I went through training bras and first dates with was getting married. I didn't know the guy but it seemed as though she really was in love, even at twenty. Personally I don't think love exists but all I hope is that she's happy, that will make me happy.

"Saturday afternoon, the bachelorette party is tonight and she really hopes I'll make it in time, I am part of the wedding court after all." My aunt gave me a disapproving look when I said the words bachelorette party, two words which were usually linked with hooking up and getting so wasted somebody was bound to oversleep and miss the wedding itself.

"Gabriella…" she turned her head slightly towards me with an I-don't-like-this look in her eyes. Her eyes looked just like my mom's, gray with little specks of yellow, so similar that I had to turn to look out the window or the replay of that night would go through my head.

"I'll be fine, I promise." Completely true, I don't really drink too much and unless I do drink and get pretty wasted I don't hook up with random people, hell I don't even kiss them, I'm usually the one holding the hair back not having mine held.

Once nearing the South West terminal my aunt thoroughly interrogated me on where I would be staying and with who, when I was getting back and if I she could pick me up and to call when I landed. Honestly I was kind of happy to jump out of her truck after saying my goodbyes, I was glad she was still associating with me unlike everyone else, but I wasn't really in the mood for all the questioning.

"Don't forget to call!" she called just before I was about to close the door.

"I wont, thank so much again! Love you!" with that I made my way through the Albuquerque airport in the next hour and settled at my gate while drinking a caramel frappechino and checking my facebook page.

I scrolled down to see a few more status updates before a flight attendant announced my section to board. I trashed the empty Starbucks cup and slipped my phone into my bag. I handed the cheery women my boarding pass and heard the little ding noise as she scanned it.

"Thank you for flying with South West airlines ma'am." I took my pass out of her hand while flashing her a small smile and continuing on inside the plane.

"Ah, 14C here it is." I said quietly to myself as I swung into my seat and pulled my phone out to send Ashley one last text before having to turn it off.

TO ASHLEY

ON MY WAY! ILY C U SOON

GABBY

"ladies and gentlemen welcome to flight 1169 with non-stop service to New York City at this time we ask that you power off all electronic devices, this includes cell phones, laptop computers, basically anything with an on/off switch please-"

"You're in my seat." An obnoxious guy's voice spoke above me, I was about to tell him that he couldn't speak to me that way when I looked up to make contact the most beautiful electric oceany blue eyes I'd ever seen in my life.
