This is my heart
Not a toy
Its not to break
Because of a boy
I'm not a doll
You can throw away
I'm just here to get some revenge
So just be ready I'm here to stay.

I'm Here To Stay
Chapter One
The First Meeting
This isn't a story to brag about. It's a true story and proof that all guys are just here to break your hearts. They don't care about true love or if they hurt you or not. Its just a game and a easy brag to them and their stupid friends. Here's some rules you should learn. 1. Never fall for the hottest boy in school. Yes he is talking to you, but he isn't talking to you because he wants to be friends. He is talking to you because he wants to get in your pants. Yeah, it's a really obvious tip but you need to remember that. I'm writing this story to warn all the girls.
It started when my mom decided I should go stay with my dad and his fiancé for a couple of weeks until my mom settles in at the loft. We are moving from Phoenix, Arizona, where the hot sun shine so bright, and the heat is unbearable. Though the city was filled with traffic, snobby people and girls who are under dress. I love phoenix and I always called that my hometown. Two hours away was a beautiful town called Flagstaff where the snow falls and my friend's and I head down there every winter break. I will miss Arizona. Once my mom got a call got a call about a promotion for film production. She knew that she will be leaving a lot so staying close my dad so he can keep an eye on me was all she can think of. She was going to buy a loft.
I don't' mind My dad's fiancé, she is really sweet… she has a son my age and they always take good care of me when I come visit. For my dad and me, I don't talk to him at all. He ditched my mom and I when I was still a fetus. He didn't even care to call me for so long until my 8th grade year. At that time he had a girlfriend. I couldn't forgive him. It is my junior year of High school and he decided living with him is the best choice for me right now. Yeah right. He's too busy running a basketball team to notice me. So here I am just standing in front of his door, not just looking, glaring. My mom's hand is on my shoulder trying to comfort me. "If anything happens you will still have the loft, I'm leaving in a week so before school starts we will go school shopping." She turns me around and gives a weak smile," I don't want you to stay here either, but you need a parent in your life while I travel. I can't take you. I know that Margaret will take good care of you. As for your dad, hes history." We both laughed.
"I can take care of my child just fine, Josephine," My dad scratchy voice was heard and we both turned to him.
"It was a joke, Adam, don't take it to the heart," My mother said rolling her eyes and I smiled a bit for the first time we arrived. "All of Gabriella stuff is in the loft, her clothes is in there. My daughter and I have lunch dates every day till I leave."
"You see her all the time, there's no need for mother and daughter time," my dad looked at her with amused. While my mother glared and looked like she was about to explode in annoyance, "It was a joke, Josephine, don't take it to the heart," my dad mimic my mom.
Before my mom said a word I kissed her cheek and smiled at her," before you say something stupid you should go, I love you and I will see you tomorrow at noon."
"I love you too mija, please be safe!" She kissed my forehead. I knew she felt uncomfortable me staying with my dad. I'm not mad at her at all. She just cares for me.
"Bye Jo," My dad said following behind me," Gabriella, Margret is at the store, she did your whole room. Its right besides Chad, who is currently out with his friends but he said he will come and get you so you can meet them." I rolled my eyes and I stared at him as he rambled on about when dinner is and its so great to see me all grown up.
"Can I please go put my things to my room?" I said with a little attitude I didn't mean it to sound like that but I have that right to be mad at the man who can care for another child but not me.
"Uh- Yeah of course," He grabbed 3 of my bags and took it upstairs as I grabbed my purse, backpack and my laptop back up. He led me to a blue room that was really huge. There was a flat screen tv on the wall, there was a beautiful balcony, and there was a desk. I had my own bathroom so it was perfect. My dad was right, Margret did a wonderful job. "Do you like it? I picked out the tv…" He said trying to make me smile.
"Thanks Adam, but I want to take a shower before Chad gets me," I turned to my suitcase and grabbed my towel and clothes. Walking to the bathroom, I can hear my dad sigh. He better feel bad.
When I got out of the shower I heard people downstairs I changed to my new set clothes of a yellow sundress and let my hair flow down. Putting on flip flops I grabbed my phone and walked down the stairs.
"Chad, make sure you both home before dinner, Troy your welcome to join us if you want." I heard my dad said.
"Thank you Coach Montez, I'll ask my parents… is it ok if chad spends a night? The Lakers game is tonight and my parents don't mind him staying." I heard a boy said.
"His half sister is here, so I don't think tonight will be a good night," I heard Adam chuckled.
"Dad! Gabriella can stay too, its not a big deal, Taylor said she will hang out with us for a while and Gabriella can just stay in Troy's sister's room." I heard chad's voice.
"Its up to Gabriella boys."
I walked into the living room listening but the boys didn't see me because they were paying attention to the tv in front of them. Half- sister? That confused me but I let it go. I heard someone cleared her throat behind me and it made me jump. I saw Margaret smile. The last time I saw here was 8th grade so it made me smile how much weight she lost. Her black hair long and curled, her brown skinned glowing as well, she looked like a model.
"Gabriella! Look how much you've grown into such a beautiful girl!" Margret exclaimed as we both went into a comfortable hug. Margret is the same age as my mother. I never knew the story between the three but my mom absolutely loves Margret just like me. "You look just like your mother." Margret smiled," I hoped your room is to your liking, your mother and I talked on the phone and she told me your favorite colors."
I smiled wide," its so good to see you again! You look so different, your glowing!" we both smiled and went into another hug.
"That's because I have another one on the way!"
I was shocked, that's going to suck to have a big belly in a wedding dress.
"That's why I we are moving the wedding at the end of the month so I don't look too fat in my wedding dress… I'm so glad my maid of honor is here to help me out with everything."
"of course anything for you," I smiled.
"Gabster!" Chad said behind me. I turned around and hugged him.
"Chadangster, you are still rocking the afro! I love it!" I said trying to mess up his afro.
"Watch the fro!" he tried to get it back to normal.
"Yes and you need to get it cut off," Margret said laughing.
"Mom!" Chad whined. "Oh mom, so I was wondering if Gabby and I can stay at Troy's so she can meet the gang."
"Is your parents here Troy?" Margret said and a blonde hair blue eye boy nod, "Then I don't see the problem."
"There is a problem, Gabriella just arrive and you were planning on making her favorite, it should be a family night." My dad said smiling at me.
"Well we can do family time another day Adam, I want to make new friends." I put my input in the conversation. I saw the frown on my dad's face when I called him adam.
"Gabriella you can call me dad," he said trying to put on a happy face on.
"I just prefer to call you Adam for now," I said with a small smile.
Before there was an awkward silence became Margret laughed," so its settled then tomorrow night family dinner tonight let the kids do whatever they want, Adam we can just put in a movie and have alone time."
"Yo, Troy wait let me go get my stuff, Gabs lets go!" Chad lead me upstairs as I jumped on his back and he gave me a piggy back up the stairs and I laughed. When Chad put me down he whispered," So Troy's parents is out of town and he is having a party tonight."
"Oh I'm dreading a shot of Malibu right now! That's what I'm talking about," I smiled whispering, I really need a party and plus I can start mingling with people.
"I knew you would be happy to remember the first time you came here, we went to that party at cousin's susans house!" Chad said laughing.
"I was so stoned I couldn't stop laughing…" we both cracked up, "I missed you chad, I'm so glad we stayed in contact hows Taylor." I winked as I grabbed my bag and put some over night clothes and something nice to wear that night and we walked to his room to grab some clothes.
"Beautiful as ever! She is just like you minus the dancing, she is th
e president of student council, she is president of decathlon team, and she is my girlfriend," he said walking down the stairs.
"Oh good you have someone who can help you in all of your classes," He pushed me mumbling something like "Shut up".
"Bye Mom bye dad!" Chad said as we left the door with Troy.
"Bye Margret and Adam!" I followed him and troy.
"I'm Troy by the way," The beautiful blue eyed boy said with a beautiful smile that kinda made my heart skip a beat.
"Gabriella."
