Chapter Three- Last Day and Suprises

Gabi's POV- Last Day of School

Yes! I'm SO excited! Today at my ending ceremony I got the Academic Award of 2006- which is like one of the best awards you can get. It basically means I had the best grades for all of the semesters. I can't wait to show my mom! She will be so happy for me! Maybe we can go out for dinner with Troy tonight. While I was lost in thought someone started saying my name. "Gabi- earth to Gabi"

"Oh hey Troy."

"Congrats." He said picking me up and spinning me around. I giggled him as he put me back down and gave him a kiss. "I'm so proud of you!"

"Thanks Troy."

"So what were you thinking about before."

"About everything I guess, I'm worried that my mom wont really care that I got the award. She's been so into Mr. D that she hasn't even bothered to think about me for one second."

"She'll care I promise- now lets go get some ice cream or something."

"Ok, how about just you and me."

"Lets go then." He said sticking out his hand.

2 hours later

"Mami! I'm home! With the best news ever! I got the Academic Award of 2006." I said showing her the plaque.

"Oh cool hun- look I'm going out with Nick tonight for out two month anniversary- exciting I know- so I probably wont be home until later- you can hang out with Troy if you want." There was a knock at the door. "Oh he's here- well congrats and I see you later- wish me luck." She said smiling as she walked to the door. A tear fell down my cheek- I can't believe she doesn't care. I ran to my room slammed the door and slid down it. Before I knew it I was balling and in desperate need of my boyfriends love. I got up fro the ground and grabbed my phone. I dialed his number. "Hello Bolton Residence- this is Troy speaking."

Troy said in a goofy voice obviously knowing it was me calling. I smiled and said,

"Ugh Troy- could you come over for awhile- I need someone to talk to."

"Um sure, I'll be there in a few." He said sensing the sadness in my voice. A couple minutes there was a doorbell. As soon as I opened the door Troy came in and gave me a hug.

"What's wrong princess?" He said after kissing my forehead

"Everything." I mumbled.

"What happened?"

"My mom didn't even pay attention to me when I said that I won that stupid award."

"Hey you worked hard for that award- it's not stupid."

"Thanks- want to watch a movie- I don't really want to talk about it anymore."

"Sure Hun." He said walking over to the couch with me. "What are we going to watch?"

"Umm…how about Liar Liar." I said.

"Sure- you really like that movie don't you?"

"Yeah it was my dads favorite."

"Oh I see." I put the movie in and sat down by Troy. I put my head on his shoulder and snuggled up to him. After the movie his dad called telling him to come home for supper. So he gave me a kiss and left. Since then I've been sitting on my couch staring at the ceiling waiting for my mom to come home. It was already ten- and she left at five- how much longer can she take to eat supper. She wasn't probably eating diner anymore, I don't even want to think about what she's doing because I'm to fed up with her.

A half hour later she finally came walking through the door.

"Hey Gabi- why didn't you tell me that you got such a big award at school- I didn't know that you beat seniors for the award to!"

"I thought you would know- I told you plenty of times before- but you were to preoccupied with Nick."

"Oh I'm sorry sweetie. Look- I need to talk to you about something. Nick got a job at a school about three hours away from here and he wanted to know if we wanted to come with him. He said he wanted to be a family. I mean he hasn't proposed yet but I'm figuring he will soon…"

"No." I said as a tear fell down my cheek

"No what?"

"No- I don't want to go. No I don't want to leave my friends. No I don't want to leave my school and no I don't want to leave Troy."

"Oh Gabi come on think- you can still call Troy and see him we wont be that far away from each other. Gabi this is for Nick and me- for our relationship. Be fair- don't just think about you."

"Be fair! Think about me! Oh you're the one who hasn't paid attention to me for the past two months. You don't even care about me anymore- its always Nick this- Nick that."

"Gabi do not speak like that to me!" She said putting her head in her hands.

"Why! So I can keep my mouth shut about how I feel about you and Nick for another three months. Because you know what- I hate the fact you are dating my teacher, mom! And that you forgot about me in the process- when is the last time we have had a mother/daughter night!"

"I'm sorry." She said looking at me- she was crying. She walked past me and went to her room shutting the door quietly.

The next morning

I got up out of my bed. Looking at all of the tissues I used the previous night. I walked down to the kitchen were my mom was nowhere to be seen. She didn't have work today- I wonder were she is. A few seconds later she merged from her bedroom. She looked like she got no sleep and had been crying.

"Hey Mami- about the moving thing."

"Don't worry about it- its not going to happen anymore."

"Why?"

"Me and Nick broke up." She said. "Uh I'll be in my room if you need me." She walked away and I could tell it was to go cry in her bed.

A couple days later

I feel so horrible- I broke up my mom and her boyfriend. She hasn't come out of her room unless she was cooking something or going to work. She also hasn't said a word to me. I don't know what to do anymore- I shouldn't have blown up at her.

"Hey Gabi?" Said Troy who was coming through the front door. "I've been knocking for like two minutes- but nobody answered." He said with a confused look on his face.

"Oh I'm so sorry I was just lost in thought. Uh if that happens again just come in." I said as I went to give him a hug and a kiss.

"Ok- sounds good." He said kissing me again.

"So what's up?" he asked me.

"Uh come up to my room. I'll talk to you there."

We walked up to my room and I shut the door behind us. "Uh Gabi are you going to talk?"

"Oh yeah- uh- what happened is that my mom asked me to move and I said no because I didn't want to be away from you and then I blew up at her so to make it a short story- her and nick broke up and shes basically locked herself in her room unless she needs to go to work or grab something to eat. I've been the one making dinner every night and I just don't know what to do anymore."

"Wow." Troy said shocked.

"That's all you can say! Troy I'm in the middle of a crisis and all you can say is, wow!" I said mocking him.

"Sorry- I don't know what to say- its not like I have an answer for everything!"

"I didn't say you did Troy but you could at least be a good boyfriend and hold me and tell my everything is going to be alright!."

"Your'e telling me how to be a good boyfriend! You're the one whose blowing up to me when I didn't even do anything!"

"Yeah but a good boyfriend wouldn't yell back."

"Well maybe you can just go find another boyfriend than!" Troy said walking out of my door. I could hear him stomp down the stairs and slam the front door. I sat down on my bed and for the first time since my dad died- I cried myself to sleep.
