I don't know if people are reading this or if they are if they know what polyvore is but you can find Gabriella's outfit on my polyvore as Untitled # 42 or in the Second Chances collection. My polyvore is bluecubes77...

I'm pretty much in love with anyone who decides to read this so yep... that's pretty much it ;)


The door swung open as a 24-year-old Gabriella Montez entered the apartment, a pair of six-year-old twins right behind her. She gently shut the door and placed her bag on the counter before calling out to the kids that had already managed to disappear into the spacious loft like structure.

"Alexander Chad and Mason Taylor, please come back here and pick up the shoes and coats you guys threw on the ground. We don't need someone tripping over them, do we?" Gabriella asked.

"No mom!" Alex shouted back. Gabriella smiled to herself as she heard the soft patter of feet getting closer and closer every second. The two brunettes came crashing into the mudroom, desperate to clean up first. In the end, the little girl with the dark brown hair and stunning deep blue eyes beat the boy with chestnut-brown hair and mesmerizing chocolatey brown eyes, putting a big smile of the former's face and sending the latter into a fit, upset that his sister had beaten him. Gabriella took Alex into her arms, comforting him. She wished she could go back to the time when the biggest fights were about silly little things like being the first to finish.

A slight tug on her sleeve pulled Gabriella out of her slight trance and back into the real world. She smiled slightly and answered her son who had just asked if the two could watch T.V. She agreed and fell back into her dreamlike state, thinking intently about what used to be.

It took the loud alert of Gabriella's iPhone to pull her back again. The tall mother smiled wistfully before checking her phone and then looking over at the kids that had once again moved and were now entranced by a show on the flat-screen. She walked over to the modern kitchen, turning on the stove for a simple dinner of Mac & Cheese. A minute later the water had boiled enough to dump the box of Phineas and Ferb shaped noodles into the pot. She added the rest of the ingredients and stirred the pasta mixture a bit. After the food had finished cooking, the small family sat at the wood table in the middle of the dining room and dug into the food, small talk filling the kitchen.

"So how was school today?" Gabriella asked her kids.

"Fun! Gracie and I got to play dress up and we pretended we were going to a tea party." Mason replied loudly.

"That sounds sooo stupid." Alex quipped.

"Alex!" Gabriella exclaimed, "apologize to your sister now, that was not nice."

"Fine. I'm sorry but guess what? Guess, guess, guess." Alex grinned, the sulk on his face from apologizing disappearing in a nanosecond when he thought of something to say.

"What is it hun?" a smiling Gabriella asked.

"We played basketball today and Mr. Miller said I was the best!" Gabriella shook her head, of course Alex's father passed the trait down to him. Plastering a smile on her face despite the bad memories that just became fresh again in her mind, she congratulated her son.

"That's cool. Good job!" Gabriella said, trying to hide the hint of sadness that had crept into her voice. The little kids resumed the small argument that they were having before and left Gabriella alone to slowly eat her cheesy noodles and think. She knew it had been a while, six years actually, but it still hurt to think about it just the same. It was almost like it had happened yesterday. When Gabriella thought about it, it was no wonder she was constantly forced to think about him. Everyday, no matter where she was, there was something that reminded her of him. The kids looked him and even if they hadn't, there was the tabloids, media, and people who were always talking about him. It was like a recurrent the end, this separation was all her fault because she was the one who drove him away but that didn't change the fact that he was like a recurrent mini-nightmare. It was hard to escape the one and only Troy Bolton.
