Hey, this chapter is another filler but with drama in it also - I feel kinda mean for like breaking them up, sorta bring them back, then doing it again LOL. But this was sort of needed for the next chapters - hopefully you'll love me in about two chapters.
Anyway, I dont want to give too much away! Make sure, you look out tonight - as my NEW story will be uploaded, allready written about 7 chapters with that, so yeah, hopefully we'll have a few updates on that, and also on Christmas Eve, I'll be uploading a Christmas Zanessa oneshot! And I might have something planned for New Year, a oneshot and a little award thing?
Can you even do a awards thing? Review with your thoughts on that, and if you'd read it/vote.
ANYWAY enough from me - enjoy the chapter, I have a feeling some people wont be as happy, but still REVIEW D
Chapter 13 – Break
"Thanks, I've had a great time here." Gabriella told the man behind the hotels front desk as she handed her door key back in.
"Glad to hear it Miss Montez." The man smiled kindly to here.
"Mrs Bolton." Gabriella corrected him, then grinned and grabbed her bags, then put them in her car. She got into the front seat and drove off, taking in the surroundings of Boston on her way.
As she stopped for a red light, her phone began vibrating in her pocket; she got it out and answered it.
"Hello?"
"I heard your coming back today!" Sharpay giggled on the other end.
"Yup, I'm on my way now."
"Oh my god, how about we organise a surprise welcome home party!?"
"Not much of a surprise now Sharpay.." Gabi laughed.
"Oh! Well maybe next time you run off we will."
"Uh thanks?"
"Anyway, I just wanted to call to find out if were still coming over yours tonight for dinner?"
"Yeah, I'll ring you later though."
"Okay, see you soon!" Then Sharpay hung up.
Gabriella smiled to herself as the wind brushed passed her. It was good to feel like all the problems that had faced herself and Troy during the past weeks, were finally gone – and they were back to their old selves.
The rest of the journey went by quickly, with Gabriella singing along to the radio the whole way. She parked outside her house then took all her bags out of the car, and walked in.
The house was silent. She walked into the living room, then dropped the bags and froze. Amy was sitting on the sofa, without a top on – smirking.
"What the hell are you doing in my house!?" She shouted.
"Gabi!? Is that you?!" Troy asked coming down the stairs.
"WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE!?"
"She just came by to collect her purse, she'll be going now don't worry." Troy said hugging her. She pushed him off her and dragged him into the living room.
"Oh, yeah she looks like she's going now.." Gabi hissed.
"Oh my god! Amy, what the hell are you doing?!" Troy cried.
"I can't believe you Troy!"
"She had her top on when she came in, and then I went upstairs to look for her purse!"
Gabriella shook her head, picked up her bags then ran out. She dumped then back into the car, reversed out of the drive and drove off.
Where too now? Another country? Another state? She couldn't keep running away from her problems like this – telling herself the time and space would do her good. She's had enough time to sort herself out, and so has Troy. She couldn't run away from this again, away from her friends and children. She had to stay.
She carried on driving, knowing exactly where she was going. She kept on driving for good ten minutes then stopped outside a medium sized house, in a pretty avenue.
She got out, tears still falling down her face and knocked on the door. The door slowly opened, revealing a kind, tanned looking woman.
"Mom – can I stay here?" Gabriella sniffed.
"What happened Gabi?!" Her mother asked worriedly, pulling her daughter in for a hug.
Gabriella pulled away slowly, and decided to tell her mom the whole truth. "Well, Troy kissed Amy while we were in Paris – so I said I needed space so I went to Boston for a bit to meet up with a friend I met in Paris. But James, the friend, tried kissing me just as Troy arrived so Troy broke his nose."
"How did I miss all this?" Her mother interrupted.
"It doesn't matter, anyway me and Troy were talking that night so he took the twins back home with him and I told him I'd be home today, so I come home walk into our house – and Amy's there topless! Troy said she was there to get her purse, but its too hard to try and believe him again!" She sniffed.
"Oh Gabi, come inside, you can stay here for as long as you want sweetie." Her mother said kindly, taking her suitcase and bags off her and bringing them inside.

"AMY, WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!" Troy screamed.
"I thought we both knew what we wanted.." She said seductively.
"No! I'm not interested in you – AT ALL!" He picked her purse up and threw it at her. "Now get out – and I don't want to see you round here, EVER again." He warned.
"Okay babe." Amy giggled then put her top back on, and walked out. As soon as she heard the door shut behind her, she got her phone out and dialled a number
"I done some searching in the house, listened to some voicemails, read some texts – and I found out Gabriella goes to the park every Saturday morning, at about 10am, so you'll just have to be there." She hissed.
"The money? Meet me in the usual place and I'll give it to you – you better make sure you do this job well.." She continued.
"Well, I'll see you tonight with the money then." She hung up then laughed.

Gabriella collapsed onto the spare bedrooms bed. How had everything in her life, gone bad?
She picked her phone up from beside her and dialled Holly's number.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Holly its me – Gabriella."
"Oh, Gabriella, how are you? We haven't heard from you for a while, we were starting to worry!"
"I'm fine don't worry, can you do me a favour though – ring everyone and tell them, the office will be back open Monday, and we'll be working as usual."
"Great! Of course I will, see you Monday!" She said happily then hung up.
So a bit of her life was getting back to normal.. She knew she couldn't let her staff down anymore, she had to just get on with it. Her phone began vibrating on the bed, so she picked it up and stared at the caller's name.
Troy.
She wanted to pick up, but she didn't want to face him – she was never good at facing up to her problems. She sighed to herself, she was being ridiculous, this was her husband – he had her kids in their house, she had to pick up.
"Hello?" She said quietly.
"I know your not going to believe me, but I didn't know she was going to take her top off or nothing, I just went upstairs to get her purse – and you were both there." He said sadly.
"Troy – I think, we should take a break, I mean the stuff we've both been through recently, is too much for me. I think we just need to a little break, to sort ourselves out – and then start everything new."
