"Gabriella! Where are you?"Oh great.Gabriella thought as she started to fix her hair.It was something she always had to do before she stepped in her husbands 'presence'.For now three years Gabriella had been married to George and became Mrs.Smith.So far it had been the absolute worst time of her life.The main reason was because in no way were they compatible.Somehow Gabriella figured that would come from and arranged marriage.From the minute her parents had told her about it, she was in no way happy.Part of it was from the fact that she believed that you couldn't find true honest love if it was decided upon by someone else.It was also partly because she had suffered a bad brakeup with her boyfriend, Troy which she thought she could only consider her true lover. But it really hurt fully that her parents, so oblivious and inconsiderate to the fact that she had broken up with Troy and suffered from it, would have the nerve to tell her about the marriage just a month later! And nowadays, it seemed like no one could care less that she seemed miserable.

"Gabriella!"

"I'm coming George!"Gabriella snapped as she finished her hair and walked down the stairs.

"What took you so long?" I had to fix my self up for you, you asshole!

"Sorry honey I had to do something."

"And how many times did I tell you to not ever wear that ugly shirt when we go out in public?"Gabriella rolled her eyes.

"What is wrong with this shirt?"

"Everything!First of all it's brown! You know I hate the color, it despises me!"Everything despises you! Gabriella thought as she looked at her tee which seemed perfectly nice to her.But of course as he ordered she went back to their room and changed to a light red top with hearts around it, which was nothing like how she felt nowadays."Better?"

"It's okay now come on let's go. I don't want our parents to think we're sloppy for being late."

"Oh great."Gabriella muttered once he was out of ear shot. She also didn't want to see her family let alone his.Everytime they would ask about the pair and before she could say how she really felt, George would say they were fine and the convo would continue.After collecting her belongings, Gabriella quickly stepped into George's car for the long ride to the restaurant where the group was supposed to be meeting."Now did you tell Melissa to cancel the plan like I told you to?"

"Yes I did."Gabriella answered, completely tired when he asked her if she did things that she always did.The last time she checked, she was his wife, not his secretary!

"Well I called her and made sure."

"Then what was the point of telling me to tell her?"

"Gabriella we all know it would take forever for you to get anything done."

"Excuse me? And what's that supposed to mean?"Gabriella shot back from the insult.

"Oh will you calm down.You get so worked up over nothing.We're here anyway."Gabriella sighed, she knew even if she could put up a fight he would win.He always won and there was nothing she could do about it, for goodness sakes, her won parents were with him!They basically thought that she was too naive and foolish to find a good husband, which was the reason for the arranged marriage.Apparently George fit their perfect husband opinion.

"Hey guys!"George yelled out as both him and Gabriella got out the car and hugged their parents."Hey George, Gabriella how are you too?"Mrs. Montez asked.

"Well--"

"We're fine as always." Once again George responded for the two.

"Great, of course we wouldn't expect anything less."Mr.Montez said happily touching his wife's shoulders.Gabriella hid her sadness, for she only wished that she could be happy like her parents were.

"I can't agree with you more Micheal."Mr.Smith, George's father said.As the group sat themselves down Gabriella looked out the window.That was better than what she was dealing with. It always seemed like the outside world was better than her inside one. The world where you could pick any guy you wanted and fall in love."Oh Gabriella sit up will you!"

"Huh what?"Gabriella said as she turned around where all eyes were on her.

"I said sit up, your posture is terrible."Ms.Montez said correcting her daughter. Gabriella silently groaned. If it wasn't sitting up it would be some other thing to drive her nuts.Even though she was living away from her parents she was still treated as if she was 13, like a child.And it wasn't just her mom, it was everyone. They treat George just fine but I have to be corrected all the time!

"So have you two remembered about the plans with Melissa?"

"Oh I canceled them don't worry mom."George answered.

"That's good."Mrs.Smith said.

"That's been bugging her the whole ride here."Mr.Smith said.

"Well I want to make sure John."

"Don't worry mom I know how to take care of things exactly when they need to be taken care of."

"Yes you do, Gabriella definitely is lucky to have a man like you in her life."Mrs.Montez said. What?

"Oh please Anna.You don't have to." Yeah you really don't!

"Nonsense."Mr.Montez said."What could she do without you there for her."

"What's that supposed to mean dad?"Gabriella asked feeling completely disrespected.

"Oh Gabriella it's rude to interrupt, you see i'm talking to George don't you?"At this point all Gabriella wanted to do was leave. No one treated her like an adult."Yes dad.Sorry."With that she looked away back through the window.

"I swear George if she's like this with us then she must be something at home!"Ms.Montez said as everyone except Gabriella chuckled.Like always she held back her frustration and pain. She was getting used to it, the feeling put upon by everyone else that she needed George in her life and without him, she would be nothing but a stupid foolish child.Life sucks
