"I have a hotel room a couple blocks away from here," Haley said.

Troy slid his hands under her shirt, rubbing her sides and kissing her neck.

"Ohh Troy," Haley mumbled.

They were outside the airport, around the back, leaning against the wall where nobody could see them.

Troy tilts his head up and looks into Haley's eyes, whispering, "lets go now."

Haley and Troy run to a cab, arriving 20 minutes later at the Hilton Hotel. Haley walks up to the concierge, checking in while Troy stands in aww of the gorgeous lobby. They walk into the elevator, and as soon as the door close, Haley jumps into Troy's arms, kissing his neck till they arrive to their floor. They run to their room and openthe door, Haley closing the door and locking the deadbolt as Troy runs and jumps on the bed. Haley goes to the bed and walks towards Troy as he takes off his shirt…..

Meanwhile

Gabriella woke up and poured herself a cup of coffee, sitting down on the couch, ready to watch some TV. As she flips through the channels, she thinks about Taylor, Sharpay, and Kelsi...a lot . Then she realizes that she hasn't heard from Massie or Claire recently either. She wonders what was up with that, not hearing from the two people she talks to 24/7. The n she remembered that Massie was in New York, slaving away on her new CD, and Claire was in New Mexico filming her new movie, which people, especially her fans, were excited about. With two of her best friends gone, Gabriella felt alone. She sighs and turns off the TV and gets ready for a meeting with her publicist for her charity red carpet event for the make-a-wish foundation. While driving to her publicist's office, her mind once again drifted to her other best friends. She wondered what was going on with them and their lives. If Taylor was still dating Chad? If zeke and Sharpay were still going strong? Finally, she thought of Troy. Was he still single? As she drove past the security guard she let these thoughts leave her head. She pulled into her spot and made her way into the building with the paparazzi firing questions about her relationship with Cameron. Once in the office she found her publicist yelling into the receiver of the phone.

As she sat down, he hung up and looked over at Gabriella and says " Sorry about that. This new client of ours is turning to a mini Amy Winehouse. As soon as things calm down, a new scandal rises." He sighs before continuing "So, you ready for this big event? We have a whole bunch of you young celebrities attending. Should be a big hit, don't you think?"

Gabriella answers " Yeah I can't wait, but you still haven't told me where the location is Brad! When are you goingto tell me! I have to begin finding an outfit. I can't be wearing a dress if it's freaking cold!"

"okay, okay calm down girl" Brad says while trying to break the news to his favorite client.

"Alright, before you freak, let me tell you that I have pushed and shoved to have it here in LA!" he pauses before going on " Sorry hun, but it seems like your going to have to go back."

Gabriella stares at Brad, not really understanding what he just said so she says " What do mean I have to go back? Go back where? I think your going crazy, Brad."

Brad shakes his head and says " No, Gabriella, listen to me! This event is going to be in Albuquerque, and let me tell you, I tired so hard to have it here! Hell I even said you'd donate 100,000 if it was held here, but they said and I repeat 'sorry, she either comes or she's not welcome anymore'. We tried hard, but we didn't succeed." Brad says, looking at Gabriella, who looked like she was about to explode.

Gabriella got up and left, ignoring the pleas from Brad for her to come back and for them to talk and figure something else out. She couldn't believe that she would have to go back home sooner then expected. Ever since Chad had called her and told her that Troy was going to be looking for her, she was debating on going back for the holidays. Not in late October though. Well, on the plus side, Claire would be there, seeing as she was filming her movie there and she promised to go with Gabriella in the first place. As she was getting into her car, she got a text from Brad saying he would send her the information of the event to her apartment later in the day. Right now Gabriella needed to take her mind off things and she new the perfect thing. It's what every girl does when she's down, and has money... SHOPPING SPREE!!

Gabriella returned to her place with tons of bags filled with clothes, most of which she would not wear. The shopping was fun though. It would have been even more fun if the paparazzi weren't following her around from store to store. She can already say that she is going to end up on E! News tonight. She walked to her answering machine and saw that she had one missed call and a new message. She pressed the play button and soon Cameron's voice was heard throughout the living room

" Hey, Gabs it's me. Just checking in and to see if your back from seeing Brad. I guess you're not, seeing as you

didn't pick up the phone. So we still on for tonight? Me, you, dinner, then after going to the club with some friends?

Just give me a call when you get this! Alright bye!!"

She decides to call him back after taking a shower and eating something light to eat, seeing as they were going out to dinner. She decides to eat some chips with dip while getting ready to go out with Cameron. She walks into her closet and stands there, thinking that if Massie were there then she would have had an outfit picked out in less then 5 minutes. Before stepping into the shower, she calls Cameron. After 3 rings, he picks up.

( Gabriella/ Cameron)

" Hey, Cameron it's me!"

" Hey, Gabs, so how was the meeting? Brad finally tell you where the Make-A-Wish thing is going to be at?"

Gabriella had completely forgot that he had gotten invited to go to this event too and was going to be told by Gabriella where it was going to be held at. She hadn't told him her history about boys and she planned on keeping it like that.

" Um….yeah it's going to be in Albuquerque. It should be fun don't you think?"

" Oh, that's cool. Yeah it should. Do you know if Claire or Massie are going to be attending?"

" Well, I know Claire for sure is going, seeing as I invited her right after I found out I was going. As for

Massie, I haven't been able to reach her. You know her when she's recording a record, she drowns out

the people around her. It's her and her music."

" Oh, well at least Claire will be there. So Here's the plan for tonight. I got us reservations at Beso at our usual table and after we are meeting Chris (Brown),Alicia, Joe (Jonas), and Selena (Gomez, okay I know she's young but for the sake of the story she's the same age as Gabriella, which is 21) at Les Deux ( A/N: sorry,but if you watch the Hills then you know what this is if not then it's a club/bar in LA). Should be fun dancing the night away.

" Yeah it should. So what time are you picking me up for dinner?

" Ummmm around 8 or 8:30"

"Oh. Okay that give me plenty of time to get hot and sexy!!"

" Just don't get too sexy! I don't want to have guys staring at you all night. You're mine and im not sharing!"

" Haha will you just say bye to me so I can take a shower and get ready?

" Haha alright see you soon"

" Bye"

" Bye babe!"

After hanging up with Cameron, Gabriella sighed and sat on her couch. The only other person who had called her "babe" was Troy and after hearing Cameron say it just made it even more surreal that Troy was no longer part of her life. She got up and started to get ready for dinner, pushing all thoughts of Troy and her friends back in New Mexico away into the back of her head.

Cameron had picked her up, and as she opened the door, there he stood with a dozen flowers in hand.

" For a pretty lady" he said has he handed them to her.

"Aww thank you!!" Gabriella gushed as she took the flowers and hugged and kissed him.

Before leaving, she had set them in a vase and off they went to enjoy a nice dinner where the y wouldn't have to worry about the paparazzi hassling them about rumors of either themselves or their friends. After leaving dinner, they met up with what Hollywood considered the " the golden group" at Les Deux. As Gabriella stepped out of the car, almost immediately she was blinded by the paparazzi's camera. As the guys surrounded the girls so they wouldn't get hurt, they were Shooting away questions.

Pap 1 : "Chris, where is Massie?"

Pap 2: " Who is the new girl?"

Pap 3: " Gabriella, is it true that you and Miley got into a fight when you were shooting the cover for Cosmo girl?"

Gabriella laughed when she heard this question. All of Hollywood knew that the two girls hated each other, but when forced to work together they were professional. As the group got inside they went straight into the VIP lounge and sat at their usual table. They started off the night with shots and Gabriella, who really wasn't a drinker, got up and went to order a martini with Alicia. As they were waiting for their drinks, Gabriella couldn't help but notice that a guy was staring at Alicia.

Without making it obvious she leaned into Alicia and whispered " Don't look now but hottie has eyes on you at 10 o'clock."

Alicia looked around and not iced the guy who smiled at her and she smiled back. As they were headed back to their table, Alicia said to Gabriella " Oh my god!! He looked soo perfect! Imagine what our kids would look like!"

Gabriella laughed and said as they got closer to their table " Whoa there girl. Lets figure out his name first. Then you can plan your wedding"

Joe was looking over at the girls and heard the word "wedding" said " Um…. When are you getting married?"

" Oh, Alicia thinks she's meet the guy of her dreams over at the bar" Gabriella answered

" HEY, it could happen you know!!" Alicia protested

They were sitting around laughing and enjoying themselves when a mystery man came up to the table. The guys instantly pulled the girls closer to them as the guy said " Hey, my name is Stephen"

Alicia instantly recognized the guy as from the one who smiled and her future husband and daddy of her kids.

She jumps out of her seat and says " Hi, im Alicia Rivera! These are my best friends. But you of course already know that! I'm sorry I talk when I'm nervous and I can't seem to stop!"

Gabriella decides to help her friend out by saying " Hi, I'm Gabriella Montez. It's nice meeting you but we have to get going so can you just give my friend here you number and ill make sure she calls you in the morning"

" Sure, and for the record, I think you can beat Miley Cyrus in a fight" Stephen says to Gabriella.

After the two exchange numbers they all say their good-byes and head home. Cameron walks her to her door and kisses her good night and leaves. As she gets settled into bed ,she gets a text from Selena

Selena: hey. This night was soo much fun! We should do it again sometime with just us gurls!

Gabriella: yah for sure! We should do lunch sometime too!!

Selena: OMG!! Yeah that would be fun too! Alright I'll let you get some sleep now! XOXOXOX

Gabriella: alright talk you later!!

Gabriella went to bed that night, thinking that she's better off without Sharpay, Taylor, and Kelsi. She has amazing friends and a really hot boyfriend!! She tossed and turned about the event that was happening in her hometown later that month. She finally fell asleep, with terrible thoughts running through her head.

There you go guys. nice and long! for you guys!! read and review!!
