"Momma, I don't want to stay at Gramy's why can't daddy come back?" Riley asked as Gabi carried her out to the car from her grandma's house.

"He'll be back in 12 days sweetie, but guess what?" Gabi asked starting the car.

"What?"

"Tonight's daddy's first game and we can watch him on TV." Gabi said, trying to cheer her slightly depressed daughter up.

"Yay!!" Riley cheered.

---

"Come on Ry, you have to get to bed." Gabi said.

"But what if daddy come on again" Riley said.

"I promise you won't miss a thing. Now come on princess" Riley followed her mom upstairs to be tucked in.

"Do you want me to read or sing you a song?" Gabi asked once Riley was in bed.

"Song pleawse" Riley said eyes starting to fall.

There's two things I know for sure
She was sent here from Heaven
And she's daddys little girl
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night
She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes
And I thank God for all of the joy in my life
Oh but most of all for...

Buttefly kisses after bedtime prayers

Gabi looked down and saw her daughter sleeping peacefully, she pulled the covers closer to her and kissed her forehead before walking out.

Troy Bolton came into his mansion and threw his stuff on the ground.

"Evening Mr. Bolton, very nice game today." Martin(the bulter if you forgot) said.

"Thanks Martin" Troy said trying to sound happy.

"Your dinner is ready if you would like it"

"Erm, no thanks can you leave some in the microwave, I'll eat it later" Troy said taking his stuff upstairs. After taking a shower and changing into gym shorts and a tee shirt he glanced at the clock. Riley was probably asleep after Gabriella read a book or sung to her, god he missed them so much. Troy grabbed his cell off the night stand and dailed his favorite number.

Troy/Gabi

"Hey"

"Hey hun, I miss you guys"

"You have know idea how much we miss you. Great game today."

"Yeah thanks...Riley asleep?"

"Yep, but she kept on insisting she stay up all night just incase her daddy comes on TV again." Troy let out a chuckle, then sighed.

"Brie be honest, am I a bad dad?"

"No, of course not why would you think that?"

"I don't know I mean shouldn't I be in New York with you guys instead of here playing stupid basketball."

"You're a great dad. And basketball's not stupid its you job just every everyone else has a job. Just because you're not here doesn't mean you're a bad dad."

"Thanks Brie, you always make me feel like I'm the king of the world...but then something time you make me feel the complete opposite."

"Its my job hun"

"Well, I just called to say hi, I'll let you get to sleep."

"K, bye Troy I love you"

"I love you too."

It had been a week since Troy went back to LA. He called everynight and talked to Gabriella and Riley on the webcam just as much but it wasn't the same. Before knowing Troy was her dad Riley liked going to her grandma's but now she never wanted to go becasue Troy used to take care of her while Gabriella went to work.

"Happy briwthday momma!" Riley said.

"Thank you my dear, and guess what? I have the whole day off to spend with you!" Gabi said.

"Yay!" Riley said as the phone rang, it was Troy Gabi placed it on speaker.

"Morning daddy!!!" Riely yelled happily.

"Morning princess sleep well?" Troy asked.

"Yes." Riley answered.

"Good, is mommy there?"

"Yes here she is!!" Riely answered.

"Hi Troy" Gabi said.

"Hey hun, happy birthday"

"Thanks, wish you were here though." Gabi said.

"Me too but I got you a present, check you email." Troy said.

"K" Gabriella walked over to the computer with Riely following talking to Troy but stopped when she heard his voice coming from the computer.

"Hey Brie happy birthday. I'm extremely sorry I cna't be there but I wrote you a song." The Troy on the computer said then grabbed a guiter(who knew he could play) and began singing. (Song is 'Hey There Delilah' with lyrics change made by me...some are kinda of silly).

Hey there Gabriella,
Whats it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand mile away,
But girl you always look so pretty,
Yes you do,
Time Square can't shine as bright as you,
I swear its true.
Hey there Gabriella,
Dont you worry about the distance,
Im right there if you get lonely,
Give this song another listen,
Close your eyes,
Listen to my voice its my disguise,
Im by your side.
Oh its what you do to me,
Oh its what you do to me,
Oh its what you do to me,
Oh its what you do to me,
What you do to me.
Hey there Gabriella,
I know times are getting hard,
But just believe me girl some day,
We'll be walking down the ailse sayin I do
Ry will be there too
We'll have the life we knew we would,
My word is good.
Hey there Gabriella,
Ive got so much left to say,
If every simple song I wrote to you,
Would take your breath away,
I'd write it all,
Even more in love with me you'd fall,
We'd have it all.
Oh its what you do to me,
Oh its what you do to me,
Oh its what you do to me,
Oh its what you do to me.
A thousand miles seems pretty far,
But I've got planes and yatchs and cars,
I'd walk to you if I had no other way,
Our friends would all make fun of us,
And we'll just laugh along because,
We know that none of them have felt this way,
Gabriella I can promise you,
That by the time that we get through,
My world will never ever be the same,
And you're to blame.
Hey there Gabriella you be good,
And dont you miss me,
One more week and I'll be there in flesh you'll see,
And I'll be making history,
Like I do,
You'll know it's all because of you,
We can do whatever we want to,
Hey there Gabriella here's to you,
This ones for you.
Oh its what you do to me,
Oh its what you do to me,
Oh its what you do to me,
Oh its what you do to me,
What you do to me.
Ohhh

"Happy Birthday Brie." The video ended.

"Troy that was beautiful, you never told me you could play guitar." Gabi siad into the phone.

"Well I'll have something to do if this basketball thing doesn't work out."

---

"Happy birthday mama" Riley said holding up a painted ceramic heart, her finger covered with dried paint...Sharpay wasn't very good at keeping her clean.

"Thank you Riles, I love it" Gabi said taking the heart and giving her daughter a hug and kiss.

"And finally the last present is from Zeke!" Sharpay said, handing Gabi and giagantic box that Riley could probaly fit it. Gabriella spent ten minutes opening boxes that was in the big one.

"This had better be good." Gabi said, finally getting to the last box which was a tiny box.

"Keys?" Gabi said, Sharpay got up form her seat next to Zeke.

"Gabriella Montez! For being our bext friend you've just won yourself a brand new Lexus GS Hybrid!!" She said in a show person voice, Gabi looked at her and Zeke in shock.

"A car? Are you serious?" They both nodded.

"Well come on Ella lets go see you brand new ride!" Seke said picking up Riley and leading Gabriella out where a dark onix gray Lexus was parked.

"Guys thank you!!" Gabi siad hugging them both.

"It was nothing Brie."

So...that was a kinda of boring chapter, and not my favorite in my opinion. The next will be much better and a more dramatic. Review please!!
