A/N: Thanks for the reviews! We appreciate them! We're updating quicker because we get to do it during school for a little! So here's chapter 5!

Recap:

"You could stay at my place."

Gabriella stood shocked. She couldn't believe what she just heard. They only ran into each other like an hour ago.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. It's too soon. Sorry. Never mind," Troy looked down, obviously embarrassed.

"No, you're just trying to be courteous, and that's really nice of you."

"So, is that a no?"

"No… it's a… yes. You do have a guest room, right?" She asked, knowing she wasn't about to share a bed with him.

"Oh, yeah. Of course I do," he immediately said, so she wouldn't get the wrong idea.

"Okay, good."

"Do you want to get a bite to eat?"

"Um, sure. Sounds good," she smiled, and grabbed her suitcase. 'Great, a whole week with Troy. I really hope I don't get too nervous and tell him about Luke,' she thought with a worried look on her face.

"You okay?" He asked, grabbing her other luggage.

"Oh, yeah. I'm fine."

"Are you sure?" He asked.

"Yes!" She yelled. She was really stressed right now, and she didn't know what she wanted to do about telling him. Was she going to feel guilty this whole vacation?

"Sorry," he muttered.

She immediately regretted yelling at him. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell. I'm just mad about this whole hotel situation. It has nothing to do with you."

"Okay."

When they got to a small restaurant, they sat down at a corner table.

"So, what are you doing here in L.A.?" He asked, taking a piece of bread.

"Um, it's just a vacation. My mom thought I needed time off. I've been really exhausted with Luke and everything."

"Oh. Who's Luke?"

"Oh, Luke? Um… uh… my dog. He's a little puppy, so he's a lot of maintenance.

"Well, I'll meet him next time I come out."

"Sure," she muttered. One lie, leads to another one.

"What kind of dog is he?"

"It's a, um, golden retriever. He's really cute."

"Cool."

"So if you live here, then what were you doing in Albuquerque?" She asked.

"Visiting my parents. I have to see them every once in a while, and it's nice being back home. You know what's funny, I was kind of just thinking about you the other day."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I saw that stain on the carpet that we made with the science experiment."

She giggled, "Oh yeah. I hope your mom wasn't too mad."

"Well, let's just say, my parents haven't found out yet," he grinned.

"So what are you doing now?"

"I work at a Community center. I help out and teach basketball."

"Oh, that's really cool. What are the ages of the kids you teach?"

"Um, the youngest is five, I think, and the oldest is sixteen."

"Oh, so you have a variety of ages."

"Yeah. What do you do?"

"I work at a restaurant. It makes okay money, you know, but I know there is better out there. It's enough to support… my dog, the bills, food and stuff."

"Yeah, I know what you mean. I don't make hardly any money. Just enough for me and my house."

Gabriella sighed, "Yeah."

After dinner, they went to Troy's house. When she walked in, she looked around. This sure looks like there was more money put into it than he described his jobs wage.

"Nice place," she said, looking around.

"Thanks. Do you want something to drink?"

"No, thanks. I'm alright."

"Okay," he muttered. This was really awkward for him. He was standing in the living room with his old girlfriend that he used to love. "So, do you want to see the guest room?"

"Yeah, that sounds good," she grabbed her stuff and followed him.

"Here it is," he said, showing her the room. It had a bed, dresser, and a full-length mirror.

"Thanks so much. I'm probably not going to stay the whole trip, so I'll start looking for a hotel."

"Yeah, I figured that. Um, I'll let you get settled. I'll be in the living room," he said, leaving the room.

She sighed, and plopped on the bed. She decided to call her mom and Warren. She flipped open her cell phone and dialed her mom's number. She decided not to tell her about Troy.

After it rang a few times, she answered, "Hello?"

"Mom, hi," she said, happy to talk to her.

"Gabi, how was your flight?"

"It was good. It was pretty relaxing, and not that long."

"That's good. So, you're at the hotel now?"

"Uh, yeah. How's Luke?"

"He's doing good. He misses you, but I told him you'll be here in about a week."

"Okay. I love you, and tell Luke the same," she said.

"Alright. I love you. Have fun in L.A.! I'm jealous of you," her mom laughed.

"Thanks, bye," she hung up and dialed Warrens number. It rang a few times, and then he answered.

"Hey," he answered.

"Hi," she smiled at the sound of his voice.

"How was your plane ride?"

"It was pretty good. I'm kind of tired," she yawned.

"So, what are you doing now?" He asked.

"Laying on my bed… in the hotel room."

"Oh. Just make sure you don't meet any other guys down there, by the beach, you know."

"I won't. What do you think, I'm going to cheat on you?"

"Gabi, you're blowing this way out of proportion."

"You just accused me of being capable of cheating on you!"

"I was kidding! Stop taking it so seriously. I know you would never do that. I love you," he said, his voice getting softer.

"Well, I'm going to head to bed."

"Isn't like seven o'clock there?"

"I told you I was tired," she said. She was getting tired of him.

"Okay, I'll call you tomorrow," he said.

"Alright. Bye," she hung up and lay on her back. She went back into the living room. When she got in there, nobody was in there. She decided to go to the bathroom, after the long flight. She had no idea which door was the bathroom. When she opened the door, she saw a bed, dresser, and more items. Then she spotted Troy.

"Oh, sorry. I thought this was the bathroom," she muttered.

"It's okay. It's down the hall," he smiled.

"Thanks," she blushed. She went to the bathroom, not believing she was in Troy's house. Her old boyfriend. Her first love, but she can't think like that. She had a boyfriend, and was never going to be with Troy again. The only thing that worried her was telling him about Luke.
