As they drove out of the sub she stared at the window. She grabbed the letter. He said to open it when I miss him, and well... I miss him already. She opened up the letter and started to read it.

Gabriella-

You are pretty much the most amazing person I have ever met. I can't explain how much I love you. It's like if you gather up all of the energy from the sun and put it in the jar, and times it by 5.6million, it still wouldn't be enough. Before I start to ramble let's go through the steps.

#1: I already gave you this gift, but you are probably pretty puzzled by a few things.

The heart is for my undying love for you. You mean the world to me. All of our memories together are the best things that have ever happened to me.

The star is for how many stars I would wish on at night for you to be mine. I forgot which star it was that night before our fight, but I kinda wish I would've remembered. It seems pretty lucky. I would wish for you to come back to me.

The musical note is pretty obvious. It's for the feeling I get when I sing with you. Its unexplainable (yeah, and we thought this was obvious).

The car is for how long I would drive just to see you're beautiful face. I would drive across the world for you, Miss Montez ;)

Now. Open up the box number two.

Gabriella obeyed the letter and opened the second box. It was a CD.

Now put it in your cd player.

She put it in her walkman and pressed play.

Now. When you are feeling down or something, play this. These are all of our songs. All of the songs that remind me of you are on here.

She smiled as songs that they sang to in the car and love songs. She laughed when she heard the Panic! At The Disco song they sang in the car.

Now the box #3. There are a dozen roses. When the last one dies I will stop loving you. And it depends when you decide to open this, some of they might have already died :)

She started to cry as she opened up a box that revealed a dozen roses, one fake, varrying in shades of pink and red.

Now box number three is my favorite. Read it, and read it carefully. This hints to something ;)

Gabi undid an envelope and pulled out a poem.

I never thought I would feel like this in my life,
But that sure wasn't true.
The day we sang up on that stage
I knew I was in love with you.
Some say that they don't believe in 'love at first sight'
Well obviously it hasn't happened to them
Because the day I sung my heart out to you
I only wished to see you again.
My wish came true when you walked into East High
Up til this day you are all that is on my mind
And on your sweet sixteen
I hope I am what you find.
Now that this has happened
It makes me appreciate what I love.
Because I am for sure
That you were sent from up above.
I never felt this feeling I am feeling now
I feel so happy and alive
And it only happened
When you put your hand in mine.

Gabi sat there as she cried in her pillow. She was still confused though. She thought and thought until she drifted to sleep.

A day and a half later (a/n: how long does it take to drive there? lol.) they arrived at their new home. Gabriella doesn't call it her home. Her home was back in New Mexico. This was just a 'temporary living arangement' to her. It was only one week until her birthday. Just when she found something that she could do, they go and ruin it for her. She's never had friends because she was always moving. She's never had a birthday party. She sighed as she sat in her new 'temporary' room. The walls were plain and white. She began to organize things. She put her clothes up in her closet. She put her laptop on her desk. She decorated the room with memories from East High. Pictures of her and her friends, Taylor, Chad, Kelsi, Jason and more imporatantly all of her pictures of Troy. She sighed as she put the last one up of him and her next to her bed. She threw on her sheets and her comforter and snuggled up. At an odd time in the morning the phone rang. She grabbed her cellphone. She didn't care what time it was because it was Troy. She answered it.

"HEY!" She practically screamed.

"Hey you!" he said, "I've missed you."

"Tell me about it." Gabi laughed.

"Well. I had noone to sit by in chem for the last couple of days. Then at lunch things were, quiet. And then at home I had noone to -"

"I get the point." She yawned.

"You're tired?"

"Well duh. There's a time change Troy."

"Ahh. SHOOT! Forgot about that. Well i'll let you go then.

"No. I wasn't complaining. Plus, I've been sleeping in the car." She sighed. "I'd do anything to be with you right now." She said as she looked around her new room.

"Same here. Well not to be with me, but with you, because-"

"Troy... You're rambling." Gabi laughed.

There was a yell from the opposite side of the phone. "Well, if you can't tell that's my Dad. I've got to go. I've got alot of planning to do."

"what?"

"I love you. Sweet Dreams!"

"I love you too."

With that they took a second to see who was going to hang up. Finally they both hung up at the same time. Gabi fell asleep.

Gabi slept in until eleven. Her mom and her agreed she wouldn't go back until after spring break. She walked to the kitchen to grab breakfast. This was her routine for the next few days. She felt so alone, with no one to hold, because Troy wasn't right beside her.
