A/N: New Chapter! Thanks for all the reviews. I love reading your feedback. Its amazing, a lot of people think Alex is being just a little mean. That may stop this chapter, or it may continue. If you wanna know, continue reading. [:

Recap:

"So we'll never be a full family?"

"With Summer as your mom...no, but you can have a full family."

"Let me guess, with Gabriella as my step-mom?"

"Yeah."

"I don't think I want to be apart of that family." Troy looked at his daughter, and for the first time, it was like he was looking at a stranger.

Troy stared her down. She looked like Alex. She talked like Alex. But that wasn't Alex. "What is your problem, Al? Your not acting like yourself. I thought you loved Gabriella, now you don't want anything to do with her?", he asked his alleged daughter. "Mommy told me the truth about her."

"Are you seriously basing your decision on something Summer said?!"

"Uhm...I don't understand..."

"Are you going to say you don't like Gabi because Summer doesn't like Gabi?!"

"I guess so..."

"No guessing! Answer my question!" Troy said, his voice getting louder. Alex started to whimper, Troy never raised his voice at her. "Why are you being so mean to me?"

"I'm not being mean, Alex! I'm trying to show you how important it is to not base things on what other people say! They could be wrong. I'm very disappointed in you." he said lowering his voice, after the last sentence. Alex started to sob. "Your the worst daddy ever! Mommy, was right! You are better without me! You don't love me! Well, I don't love you either! I hate you!" she screamed pushing him out of her room and slamming the door, as hard as she could. Troy couldn't believe it. Alex hated him. His worst fear had come true. He lost one of people he loved most. He walked down the stairs silently, motioning to Gabriella and Summer that he was leaving. Gabriella stood up, and joined him, walking to the door quietly. They both got into the car, not saying another word...

When Summer locked the door, she turned around, and called out, "Marie! Get your ass down here!" Alex came down, wiping her eyes quickly. "I don't want to hear a peep out of you when Mark gets here." Alex nodded her head running back up the stairs. She pulled out her pink Hello Kitty backpack, and packed up her two Barbie dolls, some clothes and brushes for the dolls, and zipped her backpack up, running down the stairs. She reached the bottom step when the doorbell rang. She ran towards the door, looking at Mark, her mother's boyfriend (A/N: shocking isn't it?!), as he kissed Summer. "Hey Alexandra.", he said smiling. "Bye Mark." Alex said running out the door. "Where are you going, and when are you coming back?"

"The Baylors!" she cried out before running two houses down. When she got there she ran to the front door, when it swung open. "Hey Alex." Zeke said stepping out of the doorway, and letting her enter. "Hey Uncle Zeke. Where are you going? I thought we were gonna watch Aladdin."

"I'm going to drink some apple juice with the guys."

"Don't tell Daddy I'm here!"

"Don't worry, Al. I know not to tell him. Sharpay is waiting for you. Go have fun."

"Okay. Love you."

"Love you too." he said closing the door. "Auntie Pay!" Alex called out in the big house. She put her bag on the couch. "Hey Allie!" Sharpay said giving her a huge hug, "She's not here right?" Sharpay asked referring to Summer. "Yeah, Mark came over so she's busing sucking face with him?"

"What do you know a sucking face?"

"You and Uncle Zeke do it all the time."

"I hope you didn't tell your dad about that."

"Why would I tell him anything? Its not like he'll listen..."

"Alexandra Marie Bolton. What has gotten into you! You are not the little girl, you used to be."

"Thats because I'm not in the same home. I'm not the same anymore Auntie Pay! I can never be the same because of Summer! I'm...I'm no longer Alex in that woman's house! She called me Marie. I hate the name Marie!!" Alex said climbing up on the couch next to Sharpay, who wrapped her arms around the little girl, and brushed back her hair.

"You want to know something Allie?"

"What?"

"Do you know were your name came from?"

"A book?"

"No. Your daddy named you Alexandra Marie for a reason."

"Why?"

"Well, Alexandra is closer to Alexander, which is a family name passed down from generation to generation, in the Bolton family. And Marie...happens to be Gabriella's middle name."

"I was named after Gabi?"

"Yes you were."

"Why?"

"Your daddy thought he would never see her again. He wanted to name you after her, so every time he looked at you, he would be able to remember her."

"He loved Gabi that much?"

"Yes he did."

"So Summer was right? Daddy loves Gabi more than me?"

"Sweetheart, I know your young, but you need to realize, your heart is like a big teddy bear." Alex started giggling. "Seriously, you know how a teddy bear could hug more than one person, and never ever ever run out of hugs?"

"Yeah.."

"That's what your heart is like. Your heart can love more than one person, and never ever ever run out of love. You, yourself, can stop believing in love, but you will always feel it."

"So your saying Summer lied? Daddy does love me? Just like he loves Gabi?"

"Yep. Your daddy will never ever ever stop loving you. Just like me Uncle Zeke, Chad, Jason, Ryan and Auntie Taylor, Victoria, and Kelsi, will never stop loving you. No matter what you do."

"What about Gabi?"

"Why don't you ask her yourself." Alex looked up at Sharpay weirdly, she then saw someone emerge from the corner or the couch. "Gabi?" Alex asked her quietly. Gabriella nodded her head. "Yes?" Alex walked over to her. "I'm sorry, if I hurt your feelings. I didn't know I was being so mean."

"Its okay, Alex. Your only 5, you have a lot to learn still."

"Gabi...I love you. I really do." Gabriella smiled, leaning down and hugging the little girl. "I love you too."

Alex smiled, as all three girls, gathered up on the couch to watch Aladdin.

-Later That Night-

Alex sneaked inside the house. She was halfway up the stairs, when she saw a light appear. "Marie, you don't know how much trouble you are in." Summer said walking towards the little girl. "I'm home though..."

"Yeah, at 11:00!"

"But..."

"Don't but me." Summer said getting in her face. Alex threw up in her mouth a little, Summer's breath smelled like pure alcohol. Alex knew what this meant. She felt something hard hit her face, she then blacked out.

She woke up gasping for breath, she crawled trying her hardest to not make a sound. She got to the door, opening it, and getting up, running to Sharpay's house. She banged on the door as loud as she could. Sharpay opened it looking at the young child, who had bruises on her arms and face. Before she could say anything, she passed out. Sharpay quickly called the ambulance.

Alex's eyes opened up slowly. She looked around, and smile tugging on her lips, she was in her old room. Her door opened slightly, and in came her father. He walked to the side of her bed, sitting down. "Hey Al, how are you feeling?"

"Daddy? Your not mad at me?"

"No, your the last person I could be mad at. How are you feeling?"

"I wish I would of never made the choice to live with Summer. I lied daddy. She's really really mean to me. I want to live here again. Please? Oh, please?"

"Allie, calm down, trust me. You won't ever have to live with Summer after today. Do you hear me? Never."

"What if she hurts me again?" Alex said in between sobs. Troy pulled her into his lap. "Alexandra listen to me. You will never get hurt by Summer again. I'm here for you. I will always be here to protect you. I promise you."

"You broke your last promise."

"I won't break this one."

"I love you, daddy."

"I love you too, Al." Troy kissed the top of her head.

Due to the fact that this isn't the chapter I was aiming for, I'm adding on a extra chapter. So that means 2 more chapters and an epilogue then Long Time No See is done. I hope you liked.
