Episode 14 – Trip to Remember

~1 Week Later~

I sat in the hospital room with my laptop looking at the pictures I transferred from my camera ... its been a week since the accident, Troy is still the same and I haven't left all week except to go home and change.

I looked at the recent pictures that were the games and the after party which are very funny.

I logged onto Facebook and saw my profile picture ... it was me, Troy, Luc, Brooke, Nathan, Haley and Charlie in the snow in Utah.

I uploaded the new pictures into the 'East High Memories' folder when a chat popped up from Brooke.

B: Hey Bugs, How's Troy?

I looked over at the bed and sighed before writing back.

G: Hey Tigger, still the same ... how's things in Tree Hill?

B: Boring, Broody is still annoyed at me for the book thing but Nate had one of his talks with him, it was funny.

I giggled imagining the famous Scott boys fight ... they are so funny, one minute they are fighting then next they are laughing.

"What's so funny?" I looked at the door to see Kelly.

"Just talking to Brooke about my older brothers" I smiled and saw a parcel in her hand "What's that?"

"Oh, I stopped by your house but you already left and your Dad gave it me for you" She passed it me and sat on the chair next to mine.

I looked at it then back at my laptop and started typing.

G: Gotta go Tigs, Kelly is here, love you x

B: Love you too Bugs x

I closed the lid and looked at the address where it came from.

Tree Hill, North Carolina

"No way" I started unwrapping it.

"What is it?" Kelly asked.

I pulled the book out and smiled "My Brother's Book" I ran my hand over the tile.

An Unkindness of Ravens by Lucas Scott

I looked at Kelly when an idea popped in my head "Do you fancy a road trip?"

"Where to?"

"My two favourite places" I grinned.

~2 Days Later~

"That's it" Kelly grinned and closed her car boot.

"Be careful girls" Dad said.

"We will Dad" I smiled and hugged him "Phone me if anything happens"

"I will, Love you sweetie"

"Love you too Dad, speak to you later" I walked over to the car and looked at Kelly "Ready?"

"Ready" She squealed running around the other side and jumped in.

I giggled jumping in and connect my iPhone to her Bluetooth "Music, check"

"Directions" She connect her GPS in, typed in where we're going and grinned "Check, have you got the book"

I pulled Lucas's book out of my bag "Check"

She started the car "Off we go" Then she drove off "I'll do 10 hours then you do the last"

"Or after each 5 hours we switch, it's too much for you to do"

"Okay" She nodded "Now turn on the tunes Montez"

"You got it Parker" I giggled and clicked on the road mix playlist.

"So what are these friends like in Charlotte?" Kelly asked after 12 hours of driving ... I'm now driving and she's reading some of Lucas's book.

"We were really close until I moved after my accident, then I met them again in Utah, we got close until 2 of my best friends confronted me about how much Troy changed me in a bad way and that ended our friendship"

"What about the others?"

"I'm still friends with them" I smiled "How's the book?"

"It's really good, I can't wait to meet them ... I've learned some about your family like the accident how it changed everyone"

"They have been through a lot and some things I didn't even know until I read the book"

"Like the love triangle" She giggled "I don't know how they didn't tell you about that"

"When I read that, I wanted to ring Luc up and yelled at him" I pointed at her "So don't joke about it"

"I'm not, I've seen the pictures on your Facebook and they are in love just like you and my knucklehead of a cousin"

I smirked "What about you and Jayden?"

"Nothing is going on between us, we're just friends"

"That's not what I heard" I grinned "From his Mum who is Troy's Doctor"

"Whatever Montez"

"We're here" Kelly grinned as she pulled into the hotel car park in Charlotte.

"Finally" I jumped out and yawned "I'm so tired"

"Me too" She opened the boot and grabbed her suitcase "What name is the room under?"

"Mine" I grabbed my suitcase and pulled it towards the hotel.

"This is so exciting, I've never been to North Carolina" She giggled walking next to me.

"Charlotte is a big town unlike Tree Hill which is a small town" I walked through the automatic doors and up to the main desk.

"Welcome, how can I help you?" The receptionist smiled.

"Room under Montez" I smiled.

"You're on the 2nd floor, room 114" He passed me the room key "Have a nice stay Miss Montez"

"Thank you" I smiled and pulled my suitcase towards the lift.

"He's cute" Kelly smiled pressing the button "And he was totally checking you out"

"Whatever" I sighed stepping into the lift and pressed the 2nd floor button when she stepped in.

"What's up?" She looked at me.

"I'm just tired, I haven't slept that good in a week" I leaned against the wall.

"When you going to meet your friends?"

"They don't know I'm here but I'm surprising them tomorrow while they're in practise" I smiled walking out of the lift and down the hall.

"This is so exciting" Kelly squealed running down the hall then stopped to look at me "Hurry up"

"I'm coming hyper" I giggled catching up with her and unlocked our door.

She squealed again running through the door "This room is amazing" She dropped her suitcase and jumped onto one of the beds.

I shaked my head closing the door "You are too hyper for 4 in the morning" I dropped my suitcase next to her and flopped onto the other bed "Night Kel"

"Are you not changing?"

"Nope" I closed my eyes and let the darkness take over.

~Next Day~

I walked out of the bathroom and smiled spinning around "Well?"

"Oh my god" Kelly squealed "You look so different"

I looked in the mirror ... I had on my old Cheerios outfit with my hair in a ponytail.

"I think someone has traded sides"

I spun around and glared at her "I have not!"

She giggled "I'm joking Montez" She got up "You look hot though"

I rolled my eyes grabbing my phone and pushed her out of the door "We're gonna be late"

"This is so exciting" She grinned.

I pulled into McKinley High School car park "This is it" I smiled and turned off the car.

"Ready buddy?" Kelly looked at me.

"Let's go before I changed my mind" I jumped out of the car closing the door behind me and locked the car then met up with Kelly at the front.

"So, where will they be at 2pm?" She asked linking our arms.

"It's the end of the day, so they'll be in practise" I giggled as we walked towards the school.

"Gabriella?" I know that voice.

I turned around to face my ex-best friend "Hi Danny"

"Are you back?"

"No, I'm visiting my friends, you know the ones who stuck by me when my other friends picked popularity over a friendship" I glared at him.

"You know what it was like"

"Whatever Jerk" I turned back around and walked up the steps then inside with Kelly behind me.

"Was that the guy who thought being popular was more important?"

"Yep" I sighed "I forgot he went here"

"Okay, forget about him" Kelly smiled and pulled out her video camera "We need to update our wildcats"

I giggled taking it off her and starting walking backwards then pressed the record "Go"

"Hey Wildcats, its Kelly ... I am here at McKinley High in Charlotte and we're here to spy" She winked.

I shaked my head "What we really doing here Kel?"

She took the camera and turned it towards me "Well"

"Hey Guys ... We are here to surprise my friends from an amazing show choir group called New Directions" I smiled "So, we need to go and we'll update soon, peace" I blew a kiss.

She switched it off and linked arms with me as we carried on down the halls.

"Where is the music room?" Kelly asked.

"Right here" I stopped infront of it and looked inside to the whole group there then looked at my phone "Ready?"

"Ready" She grinned.

I strolled through my contacts and pressed to call Rachel.

"Mr Shue!" We heard Rachel shout "It's Gabriella!"

"Gabi!" She squealed "You're on speaker"

"Hey Guys" I giggled "Working hard?"

"You know it girl" Quinn said "What about you?"

I opened the door quietly "Oh I'm actually here!" I hung up.

They looked at the door "Gabi!" Brittany grinned walking over and hugged me tight "I missed you"

"I've missed you too" I smiled and walked over "How's my favourite teacher doing?"

"I'm good" Mr Shue smiled and hugged me "What you doing here?"

I jumped onto the piano "I fancied a road trip" I looked at Kelly "Guys, this is my best friend and also Troy's Cousin Kelly"

"Hi" She waved.

"Are you the head cheerleader of the Wildcats?" Santana asked.

"I used to be" Kelly looked at me smirking "Little Miss Montez is now"

I glared at her "I am not little"

"Yes you are" Sam chuckled.

"Rachel's smaller" I pointed at her.

"Thanks Gabs" Rachel glared at me.

"Alright guys" Mr Shue said "Let's start practising"

"I think Miss Superstar needs to sing" Mike grinned and looked at me.

"Nope" I shaked my head jumping off the piano "I'm happy just sitting here and watch you guys"

"C'mon Gabs" Rachel begged.

"No!" I glared at her "I'm not singing"

"Okay" Quinn giggled "Have you seen Coach Sylvester yet?"

"No and I don't want to run into her because she is evil"

"Well, look who decided to come back" a voice said behind me.

I turned around and faked a smile "Hi Sue"

"Montez, didn't think I would see you again" She smirked "Walking"

"What you doing here Sue?" Mr Shue asked.

"You know me, looking for the set list for Nationals"

"That wont happen" I crossed my arms "You are always putting this team down and it's gonna stop"

"How?"

"With our secret weapons" Puck spoke up for the first time and stood next to me.

"And" I looked up to see Finn right behind me "We're gonna show you and the rest of the school that we are not losers"

"Whatever" Sue glared at us and walked out.

I turned around with my arms still crossed and looked at them "Now you've both found your hearts"

"So, these are the two losers who blamed my cousin" Kelly stood next to me.

Finn sighed "I'm sorry Gabs, it's just you have changed"

"But it's because you've gotten stronger and of course Troy helped you walk again" Puck smiled a little "We just want our little sister back"

"Fine" I sighed and pointed at them "But this is your last chance"

"There's the Gabi we know and love" Finn grinned and squeezed me into a hug between him and Puck.

~2 Days later~

"Are you sure you can't stay?" Santana asked hugging me ... it's been fun for the past 2 days and now we are leaving for Tree Hill.

I giggled "Sorry but I have 2 brothers to see" I pulled back "I'll see you guy in New York"

"Don't forget to tell Troy" Sam smiled "When he's better and all"

"I will" I smiled and jumped into the car then put the window down "Bye Guys"

"Laters guys!" Kelly grinned and drove off "Off to Tree Hill!"

"I can't wait for you to meet Charlotte, she is the cutest" I smiled "And my best friend"

"Brooke Davis, Head Cheerleader of the Ravens dating your older brother Lucas Scott"

I giggled "What else do you know?"

"That your other brother Nathan got married in his junior year to Haley James" She grinned "I did read the book and I remember the important things"

"You're one of kind Parker" I smiled.

"I know"

I pulled into my old drive and turned off the car "We're here"

"Wow, this is your old house?" Kelly looked at me.

"Yeah, after we moved, Nathan took over it" I smiled getting out and walked up the path.

"Gabs, wait up!" She ran up and stood next to me.

"Get ready for the screams" I knocked on.

The door opened to reveal Haley "Gabi!" She squealed and hugged me "What you doing here?"

"I wanted to visit my other family" I smiled.

"Come in, everyone is here" She opened the door.

I walked in with Kelly behind me "Hales, this is Kelly"

"Troy's cousin?"

"That's me" Kelly smiled "It's nice to meet you"

"You too" Haley smiled and walked through the house "Brooke will die when she sees you"

"Why not just call her?" We heard Brooke say.

"You know why Brooke" Lucas said "She'll know everything"

"We told you to tell her but you had to be stubborn" Nathan snapped.

"How long has he been like that?" I whispered looking at Haley.

"Since he sent you the book"

I sighed before going around the corner and crossed my arms "Lucas Scott, stop being so broody"

"Bugs!" Brooke squealed running over and hugged me tight "I've missed you so much"

"I've missed you too Tigger" I looked at Lucas who was looking down "Guys, can I speak to Luc alone?"

"Sure" Nathan smiled standing up and walked over to me then kissed my head "I'm glad you're here Sis"

"Me too" I smiled as they walked out.

"I'm sorry" Lucas said quietly.

I giggled walking over "Stand up and give me a hug goofball"

He smiled standing up and hugged me tight "I'm sorry I didn't tell you"

"You're forgiven"

~3 Days Later~

"Why did you want to come here?" Nathan asked as he pulled up next to the River Court.

"Because this is where we grew up" I giggled getting out and walked towards the court then sat on the bleaches "And it's a good place to think"

"It is" He smiled and sat next to me "We have a lot of memories here"

"That we do" I smiled resting my head on his shoulder.

"How is he?"

"Still the same, they said it'll be a while for him to wake up but he's getting stronger"

"That's good"

I sighed and looked at the view "I can't believe I'm leaving today"

"Do you have to?" I looked up at him to see him pouting which make me laugh "It's not funny Gabs"

"I'm sorry; I thought I was talking to my big brother not my 4 year old niece" I giggled.

"Shhh" He nudged me "When is next time we'll see you?"

"Maybe in New York in May" I smiled.

"New York?" He looked at me "Why would you be in New York?"

"For the Show Choir Nationals Competition, I kinda promised the New Directions I would perform with them"

"Well, I'll definitely be there" He smiled as a car beeped.

"Gabi!" We looked over to see Kelly "We gotta get going"

"I'm coming!" I got up and looked at Nathan "C'mon, I need a hug from my Teddy Bear"

He chuckled getting up and hugged me "I'll miss you Cookie Monster"

"I'll miss you too" I giggled.

"C'mon or Kelly will get impatience" He put his arms around me as we walked towards the car "Text or phone me anytime"

"I will" I opened the door and got in.

He closed the door and leant on the window frame "Look after her Kelly"

"Don't worry Nate, I will" Kelly grinned.

I rolled my eyes "Okay, we need to go"

Nate chuckled and stood up "Drive safe and I'll speak to you soon"

"Bye Bro" I waved as Kelly pulled out and drove off.

"You okay?" Kelly asked 3 hours later.

"Yeah" I smiled "I'm just glad to be going back"

"Are you coming back to school?"

"I have to" I rolled my eyes "My Dad said the only way I was allowed to go on this trip if I go back to school when we come back"

"Your Dad is smart" She grinned "And I hope I'm invited to New York"

"Of course you are" I giggled "It was your idea and I think Troy will kill you for getting him involved"

"He'll forgive me" She shrugged "Turn on some tunes, we've got a long drive back home"

I connect my iPhone and clicked on shuffle then Taylor Swift 'Mine' came through the speakers.

"I love this song!"

I looked out of the window and sighd when I saw the 'You're leaving North Carolina' ... This was the best trip ever.
