A/N-Hey guys!
Well, haven't updated in awhile have I? Better then not at all! Again, all my stories will soon be coming to an end, so enjoy!
Gabriella sifted through some papers. "Well, I-I think this is my uncle's name."
Troy walked over to see what Gabriella was looking at. "Your uncle...Mason? Does that sound familiar?"
Gabriella shrugged. "Well...I guess...the name does."
"Do you want to try contacting him?"
"Even if I did, I don't know what to say. 'Hi, I'm your brother's daughter and I'm looking for somewhere to stay. Oh and by the way your brother and my mom are dead?' How am I supposed to explain that?"
"Maybe Annabelle can."
Gabriella sighed. "I guess."
Annabelle walked in. "How are you guys doing?"
"I'd like to try to contact my uncle Mason." Gabriella said, confidently.
Annabelle nodded. "Alright, I'll give him a call." She took the paper and walked out of the room.
"My question is, why couldn't she do this when your parents died?" Troy said.
Gabriella shrugged again. "I don't know...but I guess it's okay now. I mean, we can't change the past. No matter how much I'd like to."
Troy sighed and walked over to Gabriella. "I'm sorry, for everything."
"It's not your fault. But what are you gonna do about your dad?"
"Honestly, I don't know. I never really felt like he really was my dad. He just never fit the description of a dad."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, actually, my mom's friend Jack is more of a father to me then my dad ever was."
"That's kinda weird."
"When I was little I would see him a lot. Almost everyday. We did a lot of stuff together."
Gabriella didn't respond.
Troy looked up at her. She looked like she was thinking about something but then said, "You need to talk to your mom about that."
Troy nodded.
Annabelle came back. "I was able to contact your uncle. He and your aunt would be happy to have you."
Gabriella smiled, a little smile. "That's great," Then her smile disappeared. "But wait a minute, that means I have to move, and I don't want to move away from Troy." Gabriella said, grabbing Troy's hand.
"Gabriella, your family is more important then me. Don't worry. Maybe we'll be able to visit and talk. It'll be fine.
"Well, see that's even better," Annabelle said. "They live here around here. It's a little farther to school from their but you'd still be able to go and see your friends."
"What about Violet? Do you know about Violet? Violet Parker?"
"She's upstairs, packing." Annabelle said.
Gabriella rushed upstairs and towards Violet's room. "Violet!" She said, throwing her arms around her best friend.
"Gabi, can you believe it? We're all being shipped away, it's not fair."
"I know. Did you contact your family?"
"No...I'm going to live with a lady named Diane and her son Charlie."
Gabriella shook her head frantically. "No, no, no. You can't! Why don't you try to contact your family? Or stay with my family or something?"
Violet shrugged. "I don't know, Gabs."
"Try, please! I can't lose you!"
Violet smiled at her friend. "I'll try I promise. And even if it doesn't work, at least we'll still see each other at school."
Gabriella nodded.
They both got up and walked downstairs. Violet walked over to Annabelle. "Can I have my files, please?"
Annabelle reached into her briefcase and pulled out a file. "That's everything." She said, just as her phone rang.
Violet carried her file to the dining room, where Troy was putting away Gabriella's.
"Oh," Gabriella said, feeling her cheeks turn red with embarrassment. "Sorry, Troy, I forgot all about that."
Troy handed her the files and kissed her head. "It's fine, Brie."
"I remember my grandma. She used to be at my mom's house all the time." Violet said, looking through the file.
"Your parents were divorced?" Troy asked.
"Yeah. They divorced when I was really little."
"I'm sorry,"
"It's fine. I haven't seen my dad in years. After CPS took me away from my mom...I had a thought about suggesting my dad to take care of me, but I really didn't want him to all at once."
"So your mom is still alive?" Troy asked.
Violet nodded.
"Well, then that should be their first choice in who to contact."
Gabriella nodded in agreement. "Try it, Vi."
Violet nodded again.
Annabelle came over to them. "Gabriella, it's your aunt and uncle on the phone."
She gulped. "Okay..." She took the phone. "Hello?"
"Hi, sweetie. It's your Aunt Anna."
"Oh, hi."
"We're sorry that we they couldn't contact us earlier. Then you wouldn't be in this mess."
"It's fine."
"Well, we're excited about having you. We can re-decorate the guest room and everything for you if you'd like."
"That'd be...great. Thanks."
"We're going to pick you up tomorrow, alright?"
"Yeah, that's fine. Will I still be able to go to East High?"
"Yes, of course. Uncle Mason and I both agreed that we didn't want your life to change any more then it has to."
"Thank you. I don't know what'd I do without my friends." Ok, so that was sort of a lie. She only had Troy...and maybe some of his friends.
"Your welcome, Gabi. Well, I have to go. We'll see you tomorrow, ok?"
"Ok, bye." Gabriella handed the phone back to Annabelle, who talked to Anna for a few minutes and then hung up.
Violet walked over to Gabriella. "You all set?"
"Yeah, I guess. What about you?"
"Annabelle said that she'd have to really look into my mom's profile to make sure she's suitable to take care of me."
Gabriella nodded. "I think Annabelle already did that for me...I'm not sure. But my aunt seems nice."
Violet smiled. "That's good, Gabs."
"So where are you staying until she does that?"
"Well, we're all staying here for another night, and then tomorrow we all either go to a foster home or another orphanage, I guess."
"That's good...sort of."
Troy came up behind Gabriella. "Can I talk to you?"
Gabriella nodded, and followed Troy into the kitchen.
"How are you?" He asked, after making sure the doors to the kitchen were shut.
"Fine, why?"
"You're okay with all of this?"
"Well, I'm never going to be okay with this. I-I'm really nervous about seeing my uncle. And I don't understand why Maggie can't take care of us," She hiccuped, her eyes getting teary. "but I-I just I don't know. I don't-I don't know."
"Come here," Troy said, opening his arms.
Gabriella accepted the hug and buried her face into Troy's chest.
Troy rubbed her back. "Everything'll be alright. I promise, everything'll turn out okay."
"You don't know that." She said, her voice being muffled by Troy's chest.
"Maybe your aunt and uncle will let me come with you, if we explain the situation."
"I hope so."
"Oh, Brie," Troy sighed.
"Troy," She groaned, pulling away from the hug. "Don't you get all teary on me, too."
Troy smiled. "I won't, I promise."
A/N-Well, I hope you guys liked it! If the ending was sorta off, or anything's wrong, forgive me. I was watching Harry Potter and writing it because I wanted to finish this up.
