Hi guys. I just updated. Anywaz. R&R : !

Gabby just stared as her Aunt Veeny, who was supposed to be faithful, was sitting there laughing with her UNFAITHFUL father.

She just sighed and didn't even notice what her mother looked like.

"Mom…. Let's just go home." Gabby said.

"No. You wanted to see your Aunt. So your gonna see your Aunt."

"Let it drop, Ma. Just let it go." She started to head out the door, but her mother grabbed her arm.

It was then that her father and Aunt noticed her.

"Oh! HI Gab!" Cried Avena.

"Hello, Gabby. Ms. Montez." Said Gabby's Dad. (( I'm gonna call him Dave.))

"It's Ms. Bellossa, now." Spat Ms. Bellossa. ((I'm gonna call her Kristina. I just made up the name Bellossa as her maiden name. Hehe.))

"Oh. Sorry."

"Come, sit, Gabby." Said Avena.

Gabby walked over to the bed and stiffly sat down.

Dave stood up. "I guess I'd better go, now."

"Yeah, you should." Kristina said through gritted teeth in a cold voice.

When Gabby heard his footsteps subsiding, she burst out. "What the heck was that? You actually looked like you were having fun! How could you? He betrayed us! I don't believe you! You're so sick!"

Kristina said, "He's betrayed us. Even you, Avena. Yet you continue to laugh and talk with him. Come, Gabby." She said, turning to her daughter. "Let's go."

"Wait." Aunt V cried.

"What?"

"When I got in the crash….. I was on my way over to your house to tell you he was in town. I just thought you should know."

"You couldn't have just called us? Instead of getting into a crash while your where stoned."

"I wasn't drunk!"

"Fine. C'mon Gabby. Let's leave."

With that, they walked out the door. When they got in the car, both women started crying.

"Mom."

"I know." Her daughter had been through a lot lately.

It was a silent drive home. Although, it was filled in with sobs.

When they eventually got home, Gabby ran up the stairs and into her room. She called Troy and told him all about what had happened.

"Oh, Gabs. Do you want me to come over?"

"Yes, please."

"Okay. I'll be over in a few minutes."

"Okay. Bye, Troy. Love you."

"Love you, too."

When he got there, she hugged him and started crying into his shoulder.

He walked her up the stairs and into her bedroom. He sat her down on her bed and looked her in the eye.

"Gabby. I need to talk to you about something."

"Shoot."

"I think… I think… Maybe… Maybe we… Maybe we weren't…. Maybe we weren't meant for each other."

"What are you saying?"

"Well-,"

"Oh, God, Troy! You're braking up with me."

"Well, yeah."

"Why? I just… I don't get it. We were doing so fine. What did I do wrong?"

"It's just all this stuff has been going on and I just CAN'T DEAL WITH IT!"

"You're supposed to be the coolest guy in school! We were supposed to be together forever! We WERE an item!"

"I know. Gabriella, listen. I wasn't built for stress."

"You're a basketball player! You deal with stress, like, everyday." Gabby was freaking out. She was looking all over the place like as if she was looking for a camera like she's just been PUNK'D.

"Calm down, Gabs-,"

"You now longer have the right to call me that. To you, I am now Ms. Montez. Er, correction. Ms. Bellossa." Replied Gabby, wondering if she could actually do that. "Get out. NOW!"

After Troy left, Gabby was still in shock. She called Taylor and told her everything. About her Aunt + her Dad, and about Troy, and about the Bellossa's. Taylor listened patiently, like any good friend and when Gabby finally finished talking, she said "He's got a point."

"Huh?"

"Well. If I was your boyfriend, I wouldn't wanna deal with that."

"Some friend you are."

"Sorry."

"Hey. Um… do you think…maybe…maybe he likes…um,…Sharpay?"

"You're joking, right? He'd never do that."

"Thanks, Tay."

But Taylor was wrong. Very, very wrong.
