"Gabriela Montez's movie debuts number one at the Box-office this weekend!"

"Gabriela Montez named number one Most Rich Celebrity! Beating out Angelina Jolie and Beyoncé! Making Gabriela the richest person under 25!"

"Gabriela Montez seems to be on top of the world right now!"

"I loved working with Gabriela. She's an amazing actress. She's very beautiful, very funny, and very talented."

"She's so awesome that it makes me want to hate her. But I can't."

"You won't ever know how amazing she is until you met her. People can sit here and say everything that is so amazing but you will never understand – and I mean truly understand - how wonderful she until you sit down and have an actual conversation with her."

"She's always positive and energetic. She just brings life to a room."

"Gabriela Montez is one of the youngest celebrities ever to get their name on Hollywood Blvd.!"

"As of right now Gabriela Montez is going down in music and movie history. And I am proud to say, I had the honor of working with her."

It's funny how life could be an amazing dream one moment then a complete nightmare the next. Gabriela Montez had Hollywood buzzing. With so much success, people started using her for fame and fortune. The public became more and more interested in her love life. Friends she thought she knew betrayed her. Gabriela's life seemed to be spiraling downwards while wall built up around her. Next thing, everyone sees Gabriela turn for the worst.

"Gabriela Montez caught in love triangle!"

"Justin Tumbler caught cheating on Gabriela Montez with ex best friend, Ashley Brown."

"Gabriela Montez lashes out on paparazzi!"

"Gabriela Montez caught with scars on her wrists!"

Gabriela's best friends; Sharpay Evans, Taylor McKessie, Zeke Baylor, and Chad Danforth; held an intervention. Her best friends were very concerned of Gabriela.

Gabriela came home that night from the studio to find her friends sitting on her couch. "What are you guys doing here?"

Taylor smiled at her, "We just wanted to talk to you."

"Yeah, we haven't really talked to you in a while," Sharpay added.

Gabriela nodded, feeling suspicious but shrugged it off and on the chair next to the couch. "What do you guys want to talk about?"

"You know, like how've you been?" Taylor asked.

"Fine, I guess." Gabriela shrugged avoiding any eye contact with her best friends. "How about you guys?"

"We're good, business is booming with the clothing store," Sharpay replied. Sharpay owned local clothing boutique that was spread out throughout California.

Gabriela gave her a weak smile while nodding her head. Zeke and Chad just took in Gabriela's appearance while the girls spoke. She was thin. Too thin. How could this girl - this girl whom they've known their whole lives - be so weak when she's been so strong growing up? Throughout their lives Gabriela has been the strongest among their friends. She's been the one who has gone through hell and back to only come out stronger than ever. She's been the one who give life to a dead silent room. She's been the energetic one. This girl right before their eyes isn't the girl they grew up with. This girl is completely different from the girl they grew up with. This girl is damaged.

"When was the last time you ate?" Zeke spoke up.

"This afternoon," Gabriela replied a little too quickly.

"What did you eat?" Chad asked not believing her one bit.

"Uh… a s-salad," lied Gabriela.

"Bullshit!" Chad yelled getting out of his spot. "Cut bullshit Gabriela! We know you aren't eating!"

Gabriela got up from her seat as well. "If you know the answer, why ask!"

Sharpay stood up pleading, "Sweetie, we're only trying to help."

"I don't need help! I don't have a problem!" Gabriela screamed.

"You call cutting and starving yourself not a problem!" Chad yelled furiously.

"Gabriela this isn't you!" Zeke told her looking in her eyes.

"Gabriela you need help. If you don't want help from us at least go to rehab to-" Taylor tried.

"Rehab! Are you guys insane! I'm not going to rehab! I don't need help!" Gabriela screamed.

"Gabriela, you're in denial!" Sharpay told her

Chad grabbed onto her wrists and looked into her eyes. "Gabriela, please, I'm begging you to seek help. This is sick." Chad showed her own wrists that had scars covered with make-up. "You can't live like this! You need help!"

Gabriela looked at her own wrists. She didn't want to live like this anymore. She wanted to change. "Okay."

"Shocking news! Gabriela Montez enters rehab!"

"Another actress in rehab! No not Lindsey Lohan! Gabriela Montez!"

"Her publicist says she has personal issues that she battling right now. She's going to try and get professional help."

"Gabriela Montez is a strong and amazing girl! I truly hope she gets that she needs."

That intervention was seven months ago. Today is the day Gabriela Montez comes out rehab. Paparazzi were swarming the rehabilitation center trying to take picture of the starlet as she came out. Hiding behind her sunglasses and smiling Gabriela reached her car. This was the beginning of a new journey. Gabriela was going to take charge of her life. She's going to fix herself so she could have a future.

Gabriela pulled out her cell phone and called the person she needed to talk to.

"Hi Gabriela, baby!" Richard Play, Gabriela's manager, greeted. Richard Play stuck to his name. Richard was a dick. He dictated Gabriela's life. Telling her how to act, who to not talk to, or what to wear. "I was just going to call you."

"Richard you're fired!" Gabriela told him with no greeting of some sort.

"Excuse me?" Richard said. "If I recall correctly, I made who you are today, sweetheart. I made you a star! And this is how you repay me?"

"Then you recall wrong!" Gabriela retorted firmly, "I recall correctly, I was the one that got on stage and sing in front of thousands. I memorized various lines. I sat in the interviews and answered those ridiculous questions. My fans screamed my name. Paparazzi followed me. It wasn't you who got me on top. It was my fans and I who got me on top. You just took the phone calls. Goodbye Richard. I hope you have a pleasant day."

Gabriela Montez was going to be strong again. Well, at least stronger than before. She was in a battle she didn't want to lose.

A/N: Hey, Hey! I'm back! So I'm trying some deeper shit. Tell me what you think. And tell me some ideas if you have. As always you will get credit for your idea.

Much Love,
