Troy ran up to Gabriella in the hall after school catching up to her. "Hey why are you in such a hurry?"

"I have to get home, and my mom is waiting for me." Gabriella said jabbing her thumb in the direction of her mom's car.

"Oh, Fine I'll call you tonight." Troy said kissing her cheek and Gabriella jogged over to her mom and got in the passenger's side.

"Hey, Mija, you check up on your cousin?" Maria asked as Gabriella closed the passenger side door.

"Yeah and she lied to me." Gabriella said as her mom started the car and drove home.

Ellie was sleeping on the table with the ice pack for a pillow and was dreaming about the night she lost her brother.

"Come on sis, your birthday is in 4 hours come on, you gotta want something." Ellie laughed.

"As long as I have you I don't need a present Danny." Ellie said as her and her brother laughed as they continued driving.

"Well, too bad sis, I got you something anyway." Danelai dug into his jacket pocket and kept one hand on the wheel.

"Danny, I told you I wouldn't need anything, you're all I need." Ellie said as her brother handed her a box.

"Danny, I can't open this now." Danny shook his head.

"4 hours sis, whats the difference?" Danny asked.

"I was born midnight not 4 hours before." Ellie couldn't help it Danelai was giving her the puppy dog face.

"Fine, I'll open it." Ellie opened the box and found a locket that was oval shaped 1/2 inch tall and when she pulled it

out she gasped. The locket read 'Always together,' ahe turned it around and it read 'forever.'

"Danny, you didn't have to get me this." Ellie said opening it.

"I had to, the left has a picture of us when you were born and that one on the right is of us today at the pre party

we just left." Danny said as Ellie leaned over and kissed his cheek.

"Thanks Danelai," Ellie put the locket on and turned to see Danelai jump out of his seat unbuckling the seat belt

and wrapped his arms around Ellie as the car crashed with another and rolled of the freeway into a ditch.

Ellie jumped up in her seat as her aunt and Gabriella walked into the kitchen.

"Hey you okay?" Gabriella asked as her and her mom walked over and noticed the cuts and bruises on her

arms and the bruise on her face.

"What happened?" Maria asked grabbing and tube of icyhot out of the cabinet.

"Dad broke in and when I came home he beat the hell out of me." Ellie said as her aunt apllied the gell on her bruises and cuts.

"What were you dreaming about?" Gabriella asked.

"Danelai, and the night of the crash, and the locket he gave me before it happened." Ellie said flinching.

"This?" Gabriella asked digging into her back and pulled out the locket.

"Yeah how did you get it?" Ellie asked as Maria took the ice pack and emptied it and put new ice in it.

"You dropped it when you left I picked it up, he really meant alot huh?" Gabriella asked handing the locket to her.

"It was as if he knew he was going to die that night." Maria sighed

"Yeah, and Gabs he was my older brother, he made sure everyhing was just the way I liked it no matter how much it cost, the doctor gave me his belongings when I woke up and I found the Receit to the locket and it was $649.00, I'm suprise that the locket didn't brake." Ellie said putting the locket on.

"You would have been what 14 or 15?" Maria asked putting the icyhot back where she got it and got a few bandages out and apllied them on the cuts.

"14, auntie then dad just started this beat the heck out of me and we are here did you hear from unlce max?" Ellie asked.

"Yes, but they told me that the tape meant that we evened out with your father, we have 3 more court dates till they can make a dissicion about anything." Maria said pulling out a pan.

"Man, I want it to get over with I'm going to be on the roof if you need me." Ellie said getting up and grabbing the ice pack and

held it to her stomach as she walked up the stairs to the basment and the ladder there that led to the roof after grabbing her guitar

from her room.

"She better not fall again." Maria said as she turned back to the steak she was cooking on the stove as Gabriella sighed.

Ellie stared off into space as she strummed her guitar. "Wish you were both here." She sighed remembering the day her parents and her brother bought it for her.

!0 year old Ellie Marie Montez Fillion (Her real last name.) was sitting with her eyes closed as her parents brought a guitar over to her. "Open your eyes Ellie." Her mother said and she happily took it from her.

She heard knocking and looked down from the roof and saw Kelsi, Taylor, Chad, Jason, Zeke, Troy, Ryan and Sharpay. "Wierd I thought Gabi, doesn't get along with her." Ellie said as she stood up and walked back down stairs.

"Hey everyone." Maria said as she led them inside.

"Sharpay what are you doing here?" Gabriella asked in shock seeing the girl who dislikes her in her house.

"I'm here to talk to that cousin of yours, where is she." Sharpay asked looking around

"I'm right here what do you guys need?" Ellie asked zipping her sweater up over her arms so she covered up the cuts and bruises.

"We need you to write a song that fits us as in me and Ryan." Sharpay said walking up to her

"Fine let me go get my music and guitar from my room." Ellie said walking back up the stairs and to her room.

"And you guys are all here why?" Gabriella asked the rest.

"I'm your boyfriend."

"Friend"

"Your boyfriends best friend."

"Your best friend."

"Friend's boyfriend."

"Sharpay's brother."

Everyone said it in unison as Ms. Montez and Gabriella shook their heads.

5 minutes later Ellie came back down with a folder and guitar in hand.

"Hey don't burn the food auntie I don't want burnt steak again." Ellie said handing Sharpay the folder,

"Take a pick and if you don't like it I can write a new one with Kelsi's help." Ellie said putting her guitar down.

Sharpay flipped throught the folder and Kelsi looked over at them as well. "We want this one." Sharpay said pulling out a crumpled purple piece of paper.

"Sorry Sharpay, that's not available, this guy wrote that for me before he died." Ellie said taking it from Sharpay.

"Fine this one, 'High school ice queen' just change it up." Sharpay said.

"Sharpay, how about this one, 'When words fail music speaks' it sounds good." Kelsi said handing it to them.

"Yeah let's go with that one." Ellie said,

"All right, we'll have our instructors do something to it." Sharpay said grabbing Ryan and leaving.

"Don't worry, they'll give it back after they destroy it but the sheet music will be fine." Kelsi said as the smoke alarm went off.

"UGH! Chinese or pizza?" Ellie called into the kitchen as she opened a window.

"Chinese!" Came the replay of her aunt and Gabriella along with the others as Ellie pick up the phone and dial panda express.
