Chapter 2:

Thirteen years later…

Gabriella was now eighteen years old. She lived in upper class New York, and was extremely rich. Selena had married Max Ryan two years after they moved to New York, and he became Gabriella's step dad, but he was far from a dad. Gabriella had changed a lot over the years, and not for the better. She had turned into a rich, snobby girl. Max gave her everything and more material wise, but she received no love or affection from either of her parents. After a few years, she completely forgot her father she'd left behind, and moved on with her life.

"Gabriella, please meet Max and I in the west wing in ten minutes." Selena's voice announced over the house intercom. Gabriella groaned, and sat up, and stretched. She pressed the talk button, and replied, "I'll be down in a few." She walked over to her walk in closet, and flipped on the lights. After a few minutes of choosing, she decided on a plain navy blue Hollister T-shirt, light denim skinny jeans, and her UGGS. She left her hair in her natural curls, and applied her normal amount of makeup. She grabbed her sidekick, and backpack, and made her way to the other side of the mansion.

She entered into the huge kitchen area, and took a seat across from her mom and step dad. "What's up?" she asked uninterested, as she played around on her phone. "We need to talk to you about a situation we came across the other day." Selena said. Gabriella continued to carelessly play with her phone. "Gabriella, please." Selena snapped impatiently. "What is it?" Gabriella snapped back, setting the phone down.

"A few days ago, a letter came in the mail." Selena said. Gabriella examined over her freshly manicured nails, and replied, "Your point?" Selena sighed heavily. "The letter was from your…father." Selena explained. Gabriella was now more interested in what her mom had to say. "What did he want?" she asked, curiously. "Here, read it for yourself." Selena said, handing Gabi the piece of paper. It Read:

Selena,

Over the past thirteen years, I've worked non stop on finding a way to be able to see my daughter. I have finally found my way, and I'm demanding a visit. I have gone by the court, and they have legalized partial custody to me. I would like to see Gabriella for the summer. One full summer is all I ask. She is eighteen now, if I recall, and will be starting her first semester of college in the fall. I would like one last chance to connect with her. Please Selena, don't make this difficult. I've worked hard to get here, and I deserve this one last opportunity.

Thank You, and I plan on seeing Gabriella soon.

Richard

Gabriella read over the letter, and looked up at her mom. "I'm not going." she said. "Gabriella, there's no way around this. You have to go. I've already tried to find a way around this, but he also sent a copy of his partial legalized custody document. I'm sorry, dear." Selena said. Gabriella's eyes grew wide, and her jaw flew open. "Oh my god! I'm not spending my summer with some man who kicked me out of his life when I was five! No!" Gabriella exclaimed. "Never. I'm not going."

FIRST DAY OF SUMMER.

The teenage girl sat in her first class airplane seat, and looked out the window. She was on a one way straight to Albuquerque, New Mexico. "Why on earth would he want to see me now? He doesn't deserve me." she stated to herself.

"Folks, we are landing in Albuquerque about now, please stay seated." the pilot's voice announced over the intercom. Gabriella sighed, and waited for the plane to land. After it came to a complete stop, she stood up, and grabbed her bags, and walked off into the airport.

She looked around the airport, and she caught one piece of paper that read:

"GABRIELLA MONTEZ" Holding the sign was a mid-aged man with dark hair.

Gabriella walked over to him. "Are you Richard?" she asked him. He nodded. "And you are?" he asked her. "I'm your daughter, Gabriella." she said. A smile appeared across his face. "Wow, you're really grown up." he said, not able to take his eyes off of her.

"Yeah most kids grow during a thirteen year time span." she said, sarcasm dripping on each word. "So are we just going to stand here like two idiots, or are we going to get back to your place, and get this summer over with?" she asked him. "Um, yeah let's go. Let me help you with your bags." he said. "Thanks, but no thanks Richard." she said. He put his hands back down to his sides, and they reached his car. She put her bags in the trunk, and took a seat in the passenger side.

As they drove down the road towards his house, he broke the silence. "I'm glad to have you here." he said. "Wish I felt the same way." she mumbled, but it was loud enough for him to hear. Richard felt pain crush in on his heart after every blow his daughter threw at him. Why was she so angry with him? What happened to his happy, sweet little girl? This sure wasn't the Gabi he knew…

So yeah, I'm sure everyone is hating Gabriella right now. But just remember that she thinks he kicked her out thirteen years ago. Well tell me what you think…Should I continue??? Let me know REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!
