Read first
Okay, first I would
like to apologize for the long wait. I know I promised a chapter on
the Jan. 25.09. But I was really busy that week. And plus I was sick.
But this week I had to study for a test and a few quizzes. So once
again I am very sorry. Just for the long wait you guys had I tried to
make this chapter longer than my normal ones. Sorry if there are
spelling and grammar mistakes.

Last time:
"So,
what do you want to do?"
"Um…we could play guess that song?"
"What is that?"
"Well I play a random song and you try to guess it."
"Okay…I guess that could kill
some time." Troy got out his ipod and home system and put it in. We
started playing the game and believe it or not it was
fun!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gabriella's P.O.V
After
a while of playing that game that Troy made up…I think he made it
up. Well anyways it was fun and we managed to keep ourselves content
playing that game while the parents got off at the rest stop. But
after a while we got bored and stopped playing.
"So Gabriella…um…what do you want to do now?" Troy asked me while looking up at the ceiling.
"I don't know…we could…um…chill for a while…I guess." I said looking over at him.
"Chill?" he asked laughing slightly while he turned and faced me sitting on his bed.
"Yeah…we have been playing games non-stop. I just think we should lie down and chill."
"Okay, fine…" He said moaning. He walked over to my bed and pulled me next to him while he laid us down on the bed. I was lying next to him a little taken by his actions. But didn't mind. (Now I don't know if they were sitting next to each other last chapter. But oh well. Tee hee)
I closed my eyes thinking about what would happen later at the indoor rec. center. Just then I heard my mom yell. "Were here you three!"
"So much for chilling." I heard Troy say.
I sat up and walked out of the room with Troy following me. "Were here already?" I asked surprised.
"Yeah we are sweetheart. Now go change into different clothes if you're going to play sports."
"Nah! I'm not going to change. But Troy might want to."
"I'll be back."
Once Troy left to go change my mom whispered in my ear.
"Troy seems like a great guy! You should go out with him."
"Okay, what happened to my overly protective mother?"
My mother sighed. "Gabriella, I know I have been like that for a while…well ever since you were in 5th grade. But this time I am not going to control who you date and such…"
"Um…thanks mom, wow. Anyway here comes Troy and Aidan." My mom smiled at me and then walked off the van.
"So, uh you guys ready?" I asked both of them.
"Yeah." Troy said smiling.
"I guess I am to." Aidan said while walking out of the van. I followed and so did Troy.
All of us including the parents walked into the indoor rec. center. Once we got in. I was amazed at how big it was. The rounded dome above us. The glass windows on my right reflecting the sunlight inside. The marble floors. God this didn't even seem like a rec. center. It was more like a lobby for a 5 star hotel. I don't know why this place is designed like this. I could only wonder what things to do here.
"Wow this place is big." I said staring at all the displays this place had to show.
"I have to admit it is big." I heard Troy and Aidan say.
"Okay! I want all of you 3 to stay together. Well mainly because this place is big. You guys could get lost." My dad said firmly.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." I said crossing my arms over my chest while still looking around.
"Is that a "Yeah" I'll do whatever I want yeah, yeah, yeah? Or is it I will listen yeah, yeah, yeah?"
"Yeah, yeah ,yeah." I replied to my dad. My dad sighed and the parents walked off.
"See ya!" Aidan said.
"Whoa, where are you going?" Troy asked his brother.
"Relax, I am just going to look around."
"But—"Troy got cut off.
"I'll be fine bro." And with that Aidan walked off disappearing around the corner.
"I am going to get into trouble." I heard Troy say.
"No you won't. Now come on. Let's go." I pulled Troy's arm and turned into the opposite hallway Aidan took.
"Where are we going?" Troy asked. I let go of his arm and shrugged.
"Well…why don't we just-"I cut Troy off with my sentence.
"Hey a music room!" I said stopping in front of it.
"That's odd, in all the indoor rec. centers I have been there had never been a music room."
"Well this is a hotel like rec. Center. So I guess they wanted one." I walked inside. And surprisingly there was no one in here.
"Interesting." Troy said walking over to the piano.
I sat down by the guitar staring at it. I was deciding if I wanted to play it or not.
"Gabi? What are you doing?" Troy asked walking toward me.
"Oh, just deciding if I should play the guitar."
"Why not? I would love to hear to play, and sing."
I sighed. "Fine." I picked up the guitar and set my hands on the right places on it. I took a deep breath and started strumming. And well I started to sing.

I remember the day I first met
you Don't
ask why I feel bad that I let my
past hurt you Don't ask
why And know I want this more than
ever Don't ask why Don't ask why
You really caught my attention
Didn't know I was looking
for rescue
I wasn't thinking that hard
Now and then I was there
in the moment
I was ready for nothing
That doesn't mean that I
really didn't love you
While I'm breaking your heart
Before we get too close just let me
Say goodbye it's
easier this way
Don't ask why
Before you ask the question and I
die inside
Just let me walk away
Coz I really didn't mean to
I was lost I was
lucky you found me
But it only got worse
Right now when you're
looking right at me
The emotion's so scary
Doesn't mean that I
really don't love you
When I'm making you hurt
Before we get too close just let me
Say goodbye it's easier
this way
Don't ask why
Before you ask the question and I die
inside
Just let me walk away
I wish there was another way
You see my words can only
hurt you
Until his shadow fades away
Before
we get too close just let me
Say goodbye it's easier this way
(easier this way)
Don't ask why
Before you ask the question and
I die inside
Just let me walk away
Before
we get too close just let me
Say goodbye it's easier this
way
Don't ask why
Before you ask the question and I die
inside
Just let me walk away
(I hope I got the lyrics right.)
I put the guitar down a looked at the floor. Not knowing what he would think. I looked back up and met Troy's eyes. He wasn't saying anything. "I…I..know I am not the great-"
"Gabi, that was amazing." Troy smiled and looked into my eyes. I did the same.
"Thanks Troy…" I said blushing. "No one has ever told me that."
"Really? Cause that was just the best." Troy said still looking in my eyes.
I blushed more than broke the gaze. "Um…well. What should we do now?"
"I want you to sing another song." Troy said.
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Well…maybe later? I have my guitar with me in the RV. Another time." I stood up and Troy did the same.
"So…where to next?" I asked Troy.
"Um…let's find a basketball court." He said smiling and then took my hand in his.
"Alright." We started walked down the hall again. I gazed down and smiled at our hands. God I couldn't believe I am falling for him this fast. And I think he likes me to. Maybe.
After 10 minutes of searching we came to a door that said "GYM"
"Well I think this is it." Troy said looking at it.
"Hmmm, is it because it has GYM written in bug letters?" I said sarcastically. I got a playful slap on my arm and we both walked in. There was no one in here. Strange.
Troy grabbed a basketball and walked to the 3 point line. I stood next to him waiting for him to take a shot at the basketball net. (Whatever you call it.)
"Well go ahead." Troy took a shot and it went in. All net.
"Impressive Troy." I said as he grabbed the ball and walked back over to me.
"Yeah I know. That's me. I am awesome like that!"
I laughed and he handed me the basketball. "What do you want me to do with this?"
"Take a shot." He said.
"I'll never make it."
"So. Try it."
I sighed and took a shot.
"Air ball!" Troy yelled out.
"Hey! Troy!"
"What? It's not my fault you can't shoot!" Troy said with his arms wide open and the ball in his right hand.
"You know what!" I grabbed the ball and started teasing him with it.
"Hey! Gabi!"
I started running the other direction holding the ball giggling.
"Hey! That's traveling! Really bad traveling!" Troy started running after me.
"Hey! Gabi give it back!" Troy caught me than spun me around and I met his blue eyes.
"Why did you do that?" Troy asked me smiling and took the ball out of my arms.
"Cause you said I couldn't shoot you old fart!"
"Hey! I am not an old fart!" Troy said smiling and I just giggled.
We just stood there looking at each other for a while occasionally we would look at each others lips. I couldn't take it anymore! I needed to kiss him! Like now! Just then I saw him lean in.
-Next time! Will they kiss? Find out in chapter 10. 5 reviews please!
Once again I am so sorry for the late chapter. And I know not a very good cliff hanger.
