Once Gabriella and her father got home, she ran up to Joe's room. Surprisingly all her brothers were there.
"I hope your happy. Because of you guys Dad's sending me back to PCA." she said while crying. "I HATE YOU." she yelled. She ran to her room, shut the door and locked it. She cried on her bed making her pillow wet. After a few minutes she fell asleep.
..In Joe's room..
The three Montez brothers were in shock. They knew their father was mad at Gabriella but was he really mad enough to send you back to PCA. Joe got up and ran down the stairs and found his dad in the kitchen with his mother.
"Dad, please tell me your kidding about sending Ella back to PCA?" he asked.
"You're sending Ella back to PCA?" Maria said.
"Of course I am. I caught her kissing that boy today when I went to pick her up. I told her not to see that boy. Ever since she started going to that school she's been acting up." Greg said.
"But Dad you can't do that." Joe said.
"Yes I can and I will. Now go to your room Joseph." Greg said.
"You know what? Your only doing this so you can protect your little girl from growing up. News flash Dad, Ella isn't a little girl anymore." Joe said and ran up the stairs.
"That boy has his nerve." Greg said.
"Honey, Joe is right. Ella isn't a little girl anymore. She's a grown woman and your just going to accept the fact that she's not your little girl anymore." said Maria and she walked away.
..A few hours later..
Its dinner time. Everyone is downstairs except Gabriella.
"Someone go and get Ella. Dinner is getting cold." Maria said.
"I will." Joe said. He walked up the stairs and knocked on her door.
"Go away." she mumbled.
"Ella, dinner is ready. Mom said to come down now its getting cold." Joe said.
"I'm not hungry." she mumbled. Joe sighed.
"Whatever." he said. He was about to walk down the stairs until Gabriella had opened her door.
"What do you mean by 'Whatever'?" she asked.
"Just how I said it." he said.
"You aren't going to beg me into coming down for dinner? Or anything?" she asked.
"What's the point. I'm just wasting my breath on telling you stuff that you don't wanna hear from me. So I'm done." he said.
"What do you mean your done?" she asked.
"I'm done being your protective brother. I'm done being the first one you run to when someone hurts you. I'm just done." he said.
"Are you done being my brother and best friend too?" she asked softly. Joe sighed. He turned back to the stairs to walk down.
"I guess I am." he said and walked back down the the dinner table. "She said she isn't hungry." the Montez's started to eat. Once everyone was done eating they washed their plates and went to bed. A few hours later everyone was sleeping. Gabriella was tossing and turning in her sleep.
..In Gabriella's Dream...
She was runnig down the halls of East High. Drake was running after her. She tripped and fell. Drake hovered over her.
"You know you want this Gabriella. Don't fight it." he said. He got on top of her and kissed her roughly. He started taking off her clothes.
"No please." she begged. By now they were both naked.
"Gabriella, don't fight it." he said. He was about to enter her...
"Gabriella..Gabriella...Ella..Get up." Nick said. Gabriella opened her eyes. Tears running down her face. She grabbed onto Nick and cried.
Shhh. Its Ok. I'm here." he said. He sat in her bed and rocked her back and forth. Gabriella just cried into his chest. He just whispered smoothing words in her ear. Gabriella calmed down.
"Nicky, I'm sorry. For everything. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean it when I said I hated you. I'm so so so so so sorry."She said.
"Its ok Ella." he said.
"I love you Nick." she said. She then bursted into tears.
"Shh. I love you too Ella. Shh." he said. After about a few mintues they both fell asleep at around 3:00 am.
Later that day none of the Montez siblings went to school. They stayed home doing absolutely nothing. Each of them in their rooms. None of them making a sound.
..In Gabriella's Room..
She layed on her back looking at the ceiling. She wanted to go talk to Kevin but was to scared. She knew if she went to talk to Joe he would just kick her out. Well at least she had her twin. She got up and went over to her iHome. She searched for a song to listen to. She decided to settle on Tear Drops by B5.
I'm not tryna hate.
You should of known better.
Better then to let him even get that close.
(Close enough to break your heart)
I tried to be there you made it so hard. Oh.
Should of listened from the jump.
Instead you tried to stunt.
I'm the one you want shawty gotta front.
She turned it up a bit. She listened closely to the lyrics.
You know you're the only one for me.
Why you settle for whatever when we're pose to be.
Tears running down your face.
They form the sea?
Why you settle for whatever when we're pose to be.
She thought back to what happened yesterday with her and Troy and her Dad.
I can see the tear drops.
Falling on your face now.
Why you settle for whatever when we're pose to be.
He never really loved you, i came to take his place now.
(oh)
Why you settle for whatever when we're pose to be together.
She hit me on the phone
i can hear the pain.
baby it's a shame
He still playing games.
I tried to calm her down.
But she kept on telling me that something's going on.
You should of never ever let him get your love.
I swear you gave him something he didn't deserve.
You know you should of listened but you can't explain.
Why you going through the same on thing
You know!
You know you're the only one for me.
Why you settle for whatever when we're pose to be.
Tears running down your face.
They form the sea?
Why you settle for whatever when we're pose to be.
I can see the tear drops.
Falling on your face now.
Why you settle for whatever when we're pose to be.
He never really loved you, i came to take his place now.
(oh)
Why you settle for whatever when we're pose to be together.
Baby girl look at me.
I'm so sick and tired of wiping tears from your cheek.
You say you want to be with me.
But you still with him so it makes me think. (Yeah)
Bout the things that you said.
All the phone calls, and the e-mails that I read.
The lonely nights in your bed.
Are you telling me the truth or are you messing with my head?
So now you want to be with me or should i go now.
I really wanna roll with you so how.
Are you gonna handle this.
You said he treat you wrong, but you love my kiss.
It's time you tell me whats on your mind.
Praying to god that you ain't that blind.
Real love is so hard to find.
Do You want to shine? it's mine
I can see the tear drops.
Falling on your face now.
He never really loved you, i came to take his place now.
She sat there letting the words sink in. Then she went over to her iHome and turned it off. She went over to her door and opened it. She walked out of her room and went to the kitchen. She saw Joe sitting at the table eating cereal. His back was turned to her. She stared at him.
"You know I can feel your eyes burning a hole in the back of my head." he said. Gabriella just went to the fridge to get something to eat. She decided to settle for some cereal since she didn't want anything heavy. She got a bowl and a spoon and took out the milk. She took the cereal box off from the table and poured some in her bowl. She closed the box, put the milk into the bowl and then put the cereal in the cupboard and the milk back in the fridge. She sat down at the table where Joe was. Both of them eating their cereal in silence. All you can hear is the spoon knocking against the bowls. Once they were done eating the cereal they drank the milk that was left in the bowl. When they were done Joe had a milk mustache. Gabriella busted out laughing.
"What?" he asked.
"You have a milk mustache." she said. Joe wiped it away. He knew it was funny but he didn't want to laugh in front of Gabriella. He put the bowl in the sink and left the kitchen. While he was walking up the stairs he can hear Gabriella crying. He sighed and went straight to his room.
..With Troy..
Troy was lying on his bed. He also didn't go to school. He claims that he has a 'stomach ache' but the only ache he has is a heartache. He didn't want to admit it to anyone. Only one thing was on his mind and that was Gabriella. He was wondering if she already let to PCA. Wondering if she was thinking of him. He was just wondering. He decided to go on AIM. He signed on only to see the weridest thing. All the Montez's were on. Also Chad was on too. Chad AIMed him.

..In the Montez residence..
Greg just walked in the door. Maria was already home getting dinner ready. Greg went over to his wife and kissed her on the cheek.
"Where are the kids?"
"In their rooms." she said. Greg went up the steps and checked on each of his children. When he reached Gabriella's room he didn't turn the knob. He was scared of what she might tell him. He turned around and headed to his room.
..With Kevin..
Kevin was sitting on his bed. He wanted to talk to Gabriella so he can tell her everything. As much as he was mad at her for dating Troy, he really wanted his sister back. Kevin thought back to when they were kids. How everytime when they were in elemetery school she would tell him everything.
..Flashback..
"Kevin..Kevin look what I got." a 10 year old Gabriella said while running through the house holding a paper that had an A and a smile face on. She finally reached Kevin and showed it to him.
"That's great Ella Bella." a 11 year old Kevin said. He picked her up a swinged her around.
"Ahhh. Kevin put me down." she said while giggling.
..End of Flashback..
Kevin had one single tear coming down is face. Kevin then burst into tears. He cried into his pillow. He was unaware that someone was watching him. The person went over to him and sat on the bed. Kevin looked up and saw Gabriella sitting on his bed with tears in her eyes. He sat up still crying.
"Ella.." he said. Gabriella just hugged him and cried. Kevin hugged her back and they both cried together.
"I'm sorry.." they both said. A few mintues later they both calmed down.
"I feel like a girl crying like this." Kevin said while laughing. Gabriella hit in lightly.
"Hey! There's nothing wrong with a boy crying." she said.
"So are you going to make up with Nick and Joe?" he asked.
"I already made up with Nick. Joe said he's done with me." she says.
"What do you mean by 'he's done with you'?" he asked.
"He told me he doesn't want anything to do with me." she explained.
"Oh."
"MONTEZ MEETING NOW." Greg yelled. All the Montez's went to the family of them waiting for the bad news to come. They sat down.
"Gabriella?" Greg said.
"Yea." she said.
"I'm sorry for what I have done to you. It's just that your my little girl and I don't want to lose you." he said.
"Dad, you aren't gonna lose me. You have to accept the fact that I'm growing up but I will always be your little girl." she said sincerely.
"That's why your staying here." he said.
"REALLY?!" the Montez siblings said except Joe.
"Yes. Really." he said while laughing. Gabriella hugs her father.
"Thank you daddy." she said. She lets go and realizes something. "Uhh, Dad does this mean I can also be with Troy?"
"Yes." he said with a smile on his face. Gabriella jumped up and down and hugged her father again.
"Thank you daddy." she repeated. She ran to the front door.
"Where are you going?" Maria asked.
"To tell Troy." she said.
"But it's raining." Maria said.
"I don't care mami." Gabriella said and ran outside in the rain and ran to Troy's house. Once she got to his house she knocked on the door. Luckliy Troy answered it.
"G-Gabriella? What are you doing out here in the rain?" he asked.
"I'm not going back to PCA." she said.
"Gabs what about what your dad said." he said.
"Troy, he's letting me stay and be with you." she said with a big smile on her face. Troy looked at her with no emotion. All he did was frown at her. Then her smile dropped. Just then the rain poured harder.
"DON'T YOU WANT TO GET BACK TOGETHER?" she yelled over the rain.
"GABRIELLA, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY." he yelled over the rain. Tears threatened to fall from her face. She turned and ran.
"GABRIELLA!" he yelled. He ran after her and caught up to her. "I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY BECAUSE I WANTED TO DO THIS." he captured her lips with his in a sweet kiss. She pulled away. She hugged him and he hugged back
"I love you." she whispered in his ear.
"I love you too." he whispered in her ear. They kissed again but this time this one lasted forever.
