It was eleven fifty five and Mrs. Montez was still up in bed. She continued to read the romance novel. She let out sighs as she read, remembering her husband. The phone rang. "Hello?" "Sorry to disturb you Mrs. Montez. Is Gabi home?" "It's fine Taylor. Let me just run up to her room really fast to get her." She said as she put her book on her bed and walked up stairs. She opened Gabi's room door. Noone was there. Mrs. Montez laughed under her breath and rolled her eyes. She opened Troy's door. There they were, all snuggled up together. Just as Mrs. Montez was about to wake them up, she seen it. It was her daughters smile. The smile that had been absent since her father passed away. Mrs. Montez walked out of the room, happy that her daughter was finally happy. "She's asleep. Can I have you call her in the morning?" Taylor thanked her and they hung up. She took one last look at her daughters smile, cherrishing every moment of it and closed the door behind her.
Gabriella woke up at 8:30. She almost jumped when she opened her eyes, only to find herself in her guest room with Troy's arms around her. Troy laughed. Gabi hushed him, "Do you know how much trouble we'll be in if we get caught?" She whispered. Troy mouthed sorry as he pulled her close to him. "Sleep good?" Troy asked, still using 'inside/we shouldn't be hear' voices. Gabi nodded and smiled, "You have no idea." Troy grinned and kissed her forehead. They heard the downstairs shower running. They nodded as Gabi went down the stairs. The shower stopped and moments later Mrs. Montez came through, dressed for work. Gabi's heart stopped. She hated lying to her mother. "Where's Troy?" Her mom lauhed with a smile on her face. "I think it's too early to wake him." She nodded, "Okay sweetie. Well I'm off to work. I left money on the counter if you and Troy want to go get lunch or something." She said as she kissed her daughters forehead. "Bye Mami."
As the door shut Troy crept down the stairs. "Does she know?" Troy asked, still whispering. Gabriella laughed, "Yah, I guess so. I just don't know why she didn't say anything." They both shrugged as they went off the kitchen. They grabbed a poptart and sat on the couch to watch music videos. After a while of getting bored Troy insisted the walked to his house to get his mom's car and the two of them go out to eat. She nodded. They started to walk. Troy imediatly entwined his fingers with hers. They soon approached his house. He grabbed his mom's keys and left her a note. They both sat in the car. Troy turned on the radio. Panic! At The Disco was playing. He looked at Gabriella who started singing. He joined. "Let's get these teen hearts beating faster, faster." They playfully sang along with the song. After the song was over they laughed.
They got out of the car and walked into Steak and Shake. Troy got wide eyed as he seen Taylor and Chad there. "TROY!" Chad yelled across the resturaunt, waving at his friend. Everyone stopped to stare. They must have just gotten there also. Troy and Gabriella walked across the resturaunt to be seated with their friends. "Glad to see everythings okay with you two." Chad said as they approahed the table, "Well, maybe a little bit more than okay." Chad winked as he noticed that they were holding hands. Everyone laughed. The waiter came up and greeted them. "Uhm. I'll have a single with everything with a chocolate shake and fries." Troy said. Everyone shouted for the same thing. The waiter laughed. "I'll be right out with your meal." He said as he walked away. "What have you two been up to?" Troy asked. "Well, first we got breakfast, then we drove for a while. Then we ate again." Taylor slapped him upside the head, "Excuse me? You ate breakfast. Don't make me look fat." The girls giggled as the guys rolled their eyes.
Meanwhile Gabriella's mom was at work, talking to her co-worker Sandy. "Yeah, but Sandy, you should have seen it." She said as she explained to her about her daughter. "Wow. I would have woke them up." "Yeah, I was going to. But you should have seen the smile on her face. It hasn't been like that since Dave died." Sandy nodded. Just as they were finnishing up their discussion the boss marched in. "Uhm. Sandy, can I talk to Karen alone?" Sandy nodded and exited out of the room. "Mrs. Montez, we may have to relocate you." Karen's jaw dropped. "But you promised that we wouldn't have to transfer any more." "Mrs. Montez, I understand that. But it is something we must do. Plus, it will only be for 6 months. I promise. After that you can come back here." Mrs. Montez paused, "I know, but I promised my daughter we wouldn't have to move anymore, and she's just finally happy and..." "Karen. Only 2 of the months are during school. Plus, Florida is amazing." Mrs. Montez had no choice but to accept, it could cost her her job, and you can't exactly raise a 15 year old girl with no pay.
Back to Steak and Shake. "Gabs, what are you doing for your birthday?" Taylor asked as she finnished off her hamburger. Gabi shrugged, "I've never really done anything for my birthday. Maybe a party, or dinner or something." Her cell phone rang. "Okay... Okay mom." Gabi hung up the phone. "Troy, do you think you can drive me home?" Troy nodded as he said goodbye to his friends and he grabbed her hand, "Is everything okay?" "If i know what is coming next, then no." He let go of her hand and wrapped his arm around her.
They arrived at the house. Troy walked her to the door where Mrs. Montez opened it. "Gabi, we need to talk. Troy, you should hear this as well." They both stepped inside and stood in the foyer. "Gabi, we're moving." Tears began streaming down her face, "You promised Mami." Troy wrapped her arms around her and she cried into the chest. "When?" Troy asked. "Wednesday." "But..." They both mummbled. "I'm sorry. I really am." With that she walked out the room. Gabi looked up to Troy. He had a tear rolling down his cheek. She put tears in this allstar basketball players eyes twice in 48 hours. She was ruining him. She was ruining herself.
They stood there and held eachother. Everything they did was akward. The fact that they were going to be split apart was insane. They both wanted to die in eachothers arms right then and there.
Don't shoot me. I promise it'll be better.
