I groaned as Lucas threw back the curtains in our room. I picked up my head and glared at the grinning 21 year old.

"What the hell are you doing? It's too damn sunny." I muttered as I placed my head back down on my pillow.

"Good morning sunshine! Time to go run on the beach!" Lucas said in a way too cheerful voice.

"Ugg I hate you right now." I said pushing myself up into a sitting position.

"Oh but you'll love me in a minute." Lucas said as I gave him a weird look.

"Why will I love you in a minute?" I asked him as he grinned at me and walked over to the counter.

"This came for you last night but you were snoring your pretty head off and I didn't want to wake you up and be murdered." Lucas told me as he threw a box at me.

I noticed the return address which was Gabi's and grinned as I tore off the tape. I opened the box and threw open the flaps to see a DVD sitting on some tissue paper. I grinned as I picked up the DVD and popped it into the DVD player.

"Dude a little privacy?" I asked turning around to look at Lucas who had a grin on his face.

"All right I'm going to go take a shower. Enjoy the DVD and have fun." Lucas said as I heard the bathroom door shut.

I pressed play and the first scene I saw Gabi standing in front of our favorite restaurant.

"Hey Troy! I figured I would do something different for you. I decided to do a video so all of our friends could say hello to you. Chad's manning the camera so if he does a shitty job, it's his fault, not mine!" She said as I laughed.

The video then panned a long table where all of our friends sat. They each took turns and said something a little different. Jason and Zeke wished me all the luck with camp. Sharpay wanted me to check out the guys for her and report back to her. I rolled my eyes at that one. Kelsi and Ryan wanted me to have fun and don't work too hard. Taylor wanted me to have fun and enjoy the beach a little bit before coming back.

The camera then switched hands as I saw Chad's familiar pile of hair appeared in the screen. Chad grinned as he took center stage.

"Hey captain! How's it going? How's camp? We hope it's whipping your butt and you're exhausted. Remember it's for your own good. You're an amazing basketball player and I can still whip your butt any time. Bring it when you come back and we'll go for it. I'm watching over Gabi just like you asked me to. She did a butt load of shopping today so you can ask her about it. Anyways have fun and we'll see you when you get back!" Chad finished as the next clip was of my parents and siblings.

"Gabi told us she was making a video for you and asked if we had anything we wanted to tell you. We hope you're having fun and learning a lot. We love you Troy!" Mom said as her and dad grinned.

"Hi Troy the house is very quiet and very lonesome without you here. Have fun and we wish you all the luck in the world." My 17 year old sister, Anna said as I grinned.

"Hi big brother! You've got mad skills and you'll be the best player there! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. You go kick some butt." My 15 year old brother, Brandon told me as I grinned.

"Hi Troy. I know Brandon's a dork; you don't have to tell me twice. Have fun and don't miss us too much. Go run the beach or something. We send you our love. Remember to call us once in a while to let us know you're still alive." Brandon's twin sister, Megan told me as the screen switched again.

"Is the coast clear yet?" Lucas asked sticking his head out of the bathroom door.

"Sure come on out." I told him as I turned my attention back to the TV.

"All right it's just me this time. I hope you liked the little video. Chad had his video camera at dinner tonight and I asked him to shoot a little for you. it wasn't suppose to be this whole big production but as long as it got a smile on your face, then my mission was accomplished. After this you can open today's letter. Tell Lucas to hold his horses' while you read and listen to the song. You're going to groan when you hear it. These are good songs and I'm not sorry if you don't like them. Have fun running on the beach and I'll talk to you later! I love you!" She finished as I smiled.

I turned off the DVD player and reached into my duffle bag for today's note. I took out the black note which she had written on with a silver sharpie.

My dearest Troy,

Hi again! Ahh . . . you're not going to love this song but I love you. It's "My Everything" by 98 Degree. The reason I love it? Because you are my everything. You're everything I ever wanted in a guy and more. I love you!

Te Amo,

Gabi

I pressed play on the CD player and threw my head back. I never had been a huge fan of boy bands but since I've started dating Gabi most of the songs we listened to where those of boy bands.

After listening to the song, I pushed myself off the bed and got ready to go run on the beach. I pulled my warm ups on and looked over at Lucas.

"Do you love me now?" Lucas asked as I threw him a glare.

"As much as that DVD cheered me up, I don't swing that way buddy." I said standing up and walking towards the door.

"Good because that would just be too weird." Lucas said as we both laughed while walking out the door.
