NEW CHAPPY! :DD

Part 10

Jazz's Pov

I waited for Sarah to pick me up with my best friend Ashley.

"do you really think your plan will work?" Ashley asked me while we watched the other kids wait for their parents.

"it has to, it my only chance to meet my father" I said hoping to myself that it would work.

"Sarah is here" Ashley said giving me a hug for good luck.

We drove to the office and I could feel myself becoming more anxious and nervous all at the same time.

No ones Pov

Troy didn't know the name of his new lawyer only that she was his age and that his manager had set everything up. He walked into the elevator only to be joined by a girl and what looked like her mother.

"Sarah can I see mommy before her meeting?" the sandy blonde haired girl asked the women standing next to him.

"Maybe jazz, her meeting will be starting soon" Sarah, the women who looked busy typing a text on her phone.

The elevator opened and all three got out. Immediately jazz ran towards her mother who was waiting only to be shocked to see a certain wildcat there.

"Mommy guess what I got an A on my spelling test and Ashley shared her cupcake with me" jazz said but Gabriella was to concerned with the fact that Troy was staring at them.

"that's great Jazz" gabriella said looking at Troy still.

"I'm sorry Ms. Montez but I dont know where your new client is he should have been here by now" Sarah said walking to her desk to check messages.

"what...what are you doing here?" Gabriella asked it was the only real time she had spoken to him with hate in her voice.

"I'm meeting my new lawyer" Troy said rubbing the back of his neck.

Gabriella fit the pieces together, he was her new client.

"was it at 3:00 today?" Gabriella asked hoping not to get the answer she was dreading

"yeah, how'd you know?" Troy asked confused.

"I think your my new client" Gabriella said placing her hands on jazz'z shoulders.

"so then this is your daughter?" Troy asked wondering who gabriella had a child with.

"hi I'm Jazz" Jazz said extending her hand to shake his.

"well I'm Troy, so tell me how old are you Jazz?" Troy asked

"I'm almost seven" she beamed leaning on her mothers hip.

"Jazz I think you should start your homework while I meet with Troy k?" Gabriella said hoping he hadn't figured it out. But he did he knew and he was upset.

"but mommy" Jazz whined she wanted to be in her mom's office for this conversation.

"homework now" Gabriella said pulling out her best mom voice.

"fine" jazz mumbled as she sulked to the plush chair in the waiting area outside her mothers office.

Troy and Gabriella walked into her office and as she closed the door Troy spoke.

"thanks for telling me Gabriella"

"and how was I supposed to tell you after you left me huh?"

"I could have been there"

"but you weren't you left to be this big basketball star, and I was the pregnant girl you left behind"

"I still had a right"

"no cause those were gone the moment you left"

"what does she think that I left her?"

"no she just knows we broke up, nothing else"

"does everyone else know about her?"

"yes"

"great, so I look like a douche"

"well it fits"

"excuse me?"

"you left me Troy, I was alone, I had no idea where you went off too, and to top it off two weeks after you left I found out I was pregnant"

"I had to"

"why? Give me a reason"

"I just did ok, it was becoming too real"

"that's what relationships are about Troy moving forward not leaving when you feel it's too real for you"

"I just needed an escape"

"and because of that you missed seven years"

"you cheated me out of seven years"

"that's your problem"

"look I don't wanna argue anymore Gabriella"

"good"

"So why do you need a new lawyer?" Gabriella asked getting into her law mode.

"my contract is under negotiation and my lawyer can't negotiate for shit" Troy said sitting in the chair in front of Gabriella's desk.

"Well if I do decide to be your lawyer it's nothing but being professional, no personal business" Gabriella said sitting at her desk.

"and the whole daughter situation?" Troy asked

"First I would have to tell her that you're her father and then we could go for there" Gabriella said looking at the new emails she had gotten in the last hour.

"So what is she like?" Troy asked wondering what his daughter had inherited from him and from Gabriella.

"Jazz is… a lot like you" Gabriella said looking out the windows into the waiting area in front of her office to see Jazz working on her homework. "She's smart and can play any sport she tries" Gabriella said smiling to herself; Jazz was a copy of both her and Troy.

"Really?" Troy asked smiling, he felt proud even if he hadn't known his little girl to know that she was like him in some ways, brought a smile to his face.

The phone suddenly rang interrupting the silence neither of them knew that had filled the room and the air between them.

"Gabriella Montez" Gabriella answered the phone.

"Ms. Montez I'm sorry to interupt but Bill Marsh wants to see you" Sarah said unsure of what the owner of the law firm wanted.

Gabriella pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed. "when does he want to see me?" she asked not in the mood to see her boss.

"he's standing in front of me now" Sarah said slowly.

"I'll see him now" Gabriella said hanging up her phone. "I'm sorry Troy but my boss wants to meet with me" Gabriella said sinking into her chair.

"that's fine I can wait" Troy said looking at how her demeanor changed from ok to completely upset.

"Ms. Montez I won't keep you long I know you're a busy person but I have some very exciting news" Bill Marsh said as he walked into Gabriella's office.

"yes?" Gabriella said expecting the worse.

"I've decided to give you the option of staying here in LA or be head of my other law firm in Albuquerque" Marsh said waiting to see the excitement render on Gabriella's face.

"wow this is amazing" Gabriella started. "can I have some time to think this out?" she asked already making a list of pros and cons of moving.

"I'll give you a few days" marsh said as he left the office, and the two shocked adults.

Jazz's Pov
I sat outside my moms office as her boss went in. I heard only parts of the conversation, but I heard the part about New Mexico and that meant moving. I slumped back to the chair I was sitting in and cried a bit. I loved LA, I had my nana and Ashley how could I leave my best friend? Worse how could I leave my dad after just finding him? I wiped my tears and hid my face behind the book I had to read.

Gabriella's Pov
I stood for awhile I was gripping a pen so tightly they I could hear the plastic casing crack. I dropped it onto my desk and sat in my chair.

"Albuquerque" I breathed out as I hit the chair.

"Brie you ok?" I heard troys voice shake me from my trance.

"don't call that" I said harshly

"sorry Gabriella are you ok?" he asked again.

"honestly I don't know, I have a lot of things on my mind" I said looking at him, somehow his concerned face gave me comfort.

"well how about we end this meeting and change it to another time?" Troy suggested.

"no we can still finish" I said getting back into my business mode, I needed to seem strong in front of the man who broke my heart.

A move? Will Gabby do it? What about Jazz how will she take it?
