Chapter 10:

Talking with "dad":

"Relax!" I said laughing. Then everyone else started laughing. I went in the house and got Caitlyn and Jackie. "They're right here."

"You kidnapped the girls!" Sandy yelled.

"No. Some other guy named Jed kidnapped them but then we got them back and he's in jail now. I was gonna tell you but we just got them back today." I explained still laughing. "The girls are gonna stay here with us."

"Oh we'll see about that." Sandy said. "Come on girls. You're coming with us."

Sandy grabbed Caitlyn and her husband John grabbed Jackie.

"No! I wanna stay here!" Caitlyn said breaking free and running to me. So I picked her up.

"Yeah!" Jackie yelled hiding behind me.

"NO girls! You're coming with us!" John yelled.

"You can't take them away from us!" I yelled at them.

"Oh yes we can! They are our grandchildren!" Sandy yelled.

"I'm am so not your grandchild!" Jackie yelled.

"Well Caitlyn is my sister! And it's obvious she wants to stay with me." I said.

"Yeah!" Caitlyn added.

"Yeah, well you're my grandchild too so I can tell you what to do! And I say they are coming with me!" Sandy yelled.

"You're not my grandparents!" I yelled getting ticked.

"Yes we are! Your dad is our son, so that's makes us your grandparents." John yelled.

"Your son is not my dad!" I yelled.

"Yes he is!" Sandy yelled.

"No he's not!" I yelled back.

"Yes he is!" They screamed.

"No he isn't! If he was my father he would of been apart of my life. He would of been apart of my whole life. But instead he decides to stay away from me for 28 years! 28 years I thought he was dead! 4 years I didn't know I had a little sister! 28 years you guys didn't even talk to me! 28 years you kept half of my family from me!" I yelled.

"Gabi." Sandy said.

"No! I have no father! I have no grandparents on my dad's side. I only have a mom, a sister, a soon to be husband, and a daughter." I explained.

"Hey, what makes her so special? She stayed away from you for 4 years." John complained.

"She couldn't help it! She's only 4 years old!" I yelled. "It's not her fault."

"Yes it is!" Sandy yelled.

"No it's not!" I yelled.

"Yes it is!" Sandy yelled back.

"No it's not!" Me, Caitlyn, and Jackie yelled.

"Yes it is!" Sandy yelled back.

"No it's not!" Me, Caitlyn, Jackie, and even John yelled.

"What?" Sandy yelled.

"No it's not Caitlyn's fault." John explained.

"Thank you." I said. "What are you saying?"

"What I'm saying is...That it's our fault." John confessed.

"What?" I asked.

"What! He's lying!" Sandy explained.

"We were the ones keeping Caitlyn at our house. We were keeping Caitlyn away from you Gabriella." John explained.

"JOHN!" Sandy explained.

"What?" I asked.

"It's true!" Caitlyn added then climbed out of my arms and went and kicked Sandy and John in the shin.

"Ow!" They both yelled in pain.

"Now where did she get that?" Troy asked putting his arm around me and smiling.

"Well they deserved that." I said. Then Sandy goes up and is about to kick Caitlyn, but I stopped her. "You kick her and I will sew."

"Sew her!" Sandy yelled.

"Yeah right. Sew a four year old. I mean you guys deserved that anyways." I explained.

"Oh I can't take it any more! I need to do this!" Jackie yelled then kicked Sandy in the shin too. Then Caitlyn and Jackie gave each other a high five.

"Nice." Troy said.

"Now if you don't get off this property right now I'll call the police." I threatened.

"This isn't your property." Sandy explained.

"Well it's my mom's." I said. "And until they get back it's our property."

"Ah." Sandy whined. Then everyone in the pool splashed them and they ran out.

"Nice guys!" I said laughing my head off.

"You're so stupid John! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!" We heard Sandy yelling at John in the front. We all started laughing.

3 days later.

"Ok, my mom and Josh are getting back tonight. So we have to get the house clean. Mom said Josh hates a messy house." I said trying to clean up everything. But then I had an idea. "Josh hates a messy house. That gives me an idea."

"What?" Troy asked feeding Anna her bottle.

"Well I think I'm gonna give Josh something he has never wanted. We are going to make this house so messy, you won't be able to see the floor." I explained.

"Why?" Troy asked confused.

"Because...I don't know." I said. Because I want to make him mad and ruin his day!

"Well don't you want to get to know him and learn more about him?" Troy asked.

"No." I said.

"Oh come on Gabi. He's your father. You're biological father. He was there when you were born. I think. The point is he loves you." Troy explained.

"Well if he loves me he wouldn't of left me. I mean if you love someone so much you shouldn't leave them for years." I said.

"If you loved me so much would you one of these days just pack up and leave?" I asked.

"No way!" Troy said. "I love you too much to ever do that. I will never do that."

But then I thought about how he left me in collage.

"Then why'd you leave me in collage?" I asked.

"Hey! Hey! Don't change the subject." Troy said not wanting to start a fight over that. "This isn't about me."

"Well I don't want to have anything to do with Josh." I said.

7 hours later.

"Hey guys! Were back!" My mom yelled when they got in the door.

"Mommy!" Caitlyn yelled giving her a hug.

"Hey Caitlyn!" My mom yelled giving her a hug and a kiss.

"Hey mom." I said giving her a kiss.

"Hey Gabi." I said.

"Hi Gabriella." Josh said. But I ignored him.

"Hey guys." Troy said giving my mom a hug.

"Hi Troy." My mom said.

"Where's Anna?" My mom asked.

"Oh she's sleeping." I told her.

"Well Caitlyn, what are you doing here? Why aren't you at grandma's?" My mom asked. Oh know. How will she take the fact that they were kidnapped and then we found them and then we got in a big fight with my grandparents and they left us alone? Well I just won't tell them.

"We were kidnapped and then they found us and we got in a fight with grandma and then they left us alone." Caitlyn explained. Caitlyn will tell them.

"What?" My mom asked shocked. "You were kidnapped!"

"Ah huh. But don't worry. We're totally fine. Gabi found us." Caitlyn explained.

"Oh...and I helped." Troy added. I guess he wanted to take some credit too.

"And then when he kidnapped us, he surrounded us with snakes." Caitlyn explained.

"Snakes?" My mom explained. "Well is he in jail?"

"Yes. Yes. Is in jail. Locked up, away from the world. She's totally safe." I explained. "Do you want something to drink? Ok, pop, got it. Let's go."

"Hold it!" My mom commanded. "I am not thirsty."

"Mom! I am fine! Josh's parents are jerks!" Caitlyn exclaimed.

"What!" Josh exclaimed.

"That's what Gabi said." Catilyn explained.

"It's true!" I yelled. "You're parents are jerks! Along with their son!"

I gave Josh a dirty look.

"Gabriella Anne Montez." My mom said very, very, sternly. "Josh is your father, and you will treat him with respect. Along with your grandparents."

"Fine. I'll give them some respect. I'll give you your house back." I said. "Come on Troy. We're leaving. I'm gonna go get Anna."

"What? Gabi, don't leave!" Caitlyn whined.

"Oh I'm sorry. I just don't want to be around Josh right now. But I promise...I'll invite you over to visit a lot." I explained, then give her a kiss.

"I want to go with you!" Caitlyn said not letting go of my hug.

"Caitlyn sweetie. I promise you can come and visit any time you want. You just call me and I'll come right over and pick you up." I said giving her another kiss.

"I don't think so. She will only be able to come over when we say she can." Josh said.

"I'm sorry Josh, but Caitlyn is my sister and I have the right to bring her over to my house whenever she wants to come over." I told him. "You are not the boss of me."

"You say something mean to your father one more time, you wil...you will not be able to see Caitlyn for a month." My mom explained.

"Something mean? Do you know what I think is mean? I think telling someone their father is dead when he isn't and telling someone they are an only child when they aren't, and then showing up on their door step 28 years later with your live biological father and you sister. To me that is mean." I said then went into the room where Anna was sleeping. Then Caitlyn kicked Josh.

"Ow!" Josh cried in pain.

"Caitlyn Elizabeth Montez." My mom said getting mad. But Caitlyn ran up to where we were.

"Gabi! Gabi! Mommy's gonna hurt me!" Caitlyn said hugging my waist.

"What? Why?" I asked picking Anna up.

"I sort of kicked Josh." Caitlyn said guilty.

"What? You kicked Josh!" I yelled. I set Anna down. Then I knelt down. "I've taught you well."

I hugged him.

"Caitlyn!" My mom said rushing into the room. Caitlyn hood behind me.

"Caitlyn you are grounded!" My mom yelled.

"No!" Caitlyn yelled.

"Yes. Now go to your room." My mom yelled.

"I'm in my room." Caitlyn said pointing around.

"Oh well if you guys are leaving then leave now." My mom said walking out of the room.

"I want to go with you guys." Caitlyn said.

"Caitlyn. I'm sorry sweetie. But you need to spend some time with daddy." I said.

"Well how come you don't have to? Because I have a car and...no where to live. And plus I don't even know dad so I don't want to spend time with someone I don't even know." I explained. "You know him."

"No I don't." Caitlyn said.

"Yes you do. You've known him for 4 years." I said.

"Nah uh. I was staying at grandma's and I never met him. He never visited. I didn't know about him until your party too." Catilyn explained.

"What? They didn't tell neither of us. Can you believe them!" I yelled.

"No. And that's why I wanna stay with you." Caitlyn said hugging me really tight.

"Mom!" I yelled. But Josh came in.

"What?" Josh asked.

"I asked for my mom." I exclaimed.

"Well your mom is really stressed right now at you guys." Josh said.

"Well know she knows how we feel." I said.

"I can't believe you didn't tell Caitlyn about you guys." Troy added.

"What? Who told you?" Josh asked.

"Caitlyn." Troy explained.

"Why did you do it?" I asked.

"Because. It's just really hard to explain. And it's a long story." Josh answered.

"We have time. We have no where to go." I said sitting down.

"We're not leaving until we get an explanation." Troy explained sitting next to me. Then Caitlyn copied us and sat next to me.

"Fine. You want an explanation. Then I'll give you one." Josh said. "I didn't like you guys."

"What?" Me and Caitlyn yelled. "You didn't like us?"

"You didn't like your own daughters?" Troy asked.

"Yeah. I didn't want children.
