This time, my late updates this time, are not because of my laziness. They're because of school again. :P Anyway, just wanted to say sorry to anyone who's name is Melanie. Didn't mean to have your name be hated so much.
(Disclaimer: I don't put this in every chapter, but you should know by now. Nobody owns HSM. Only the stupid Disney people. asdfghjkl; Can't they learn to share with us?)
Who's That Girl
Chapter 12- A Real Nose?
Nobody's POV-
"You pathetic little life was so easy to sabotage Montez. I have even more in store for you..." she finished, still smirking. Gabriella pretended to look sad, as she looked to the ground, making Melanie smirk even more. The brunette took her left foot, and stomped it right on top of Melanie's, digging her heel of her shoe into the blonde's toes. Melanie yelped painfully, as she jumped up and down.
"What the fuck Montez?!?" She yelled angrily, as she hopped on one foot, holding, and grasping the other one in her hand. Gabriella simply smirked at the blonde.
She then turned her smirk into a glare, and was directed at the girl right in front of her, as she stepped closer to her, and punched her right in the nose. Melanie's nose immediately emitted a loud cracking sound, as it started to bleed heavily. The blonde held it tightly with both hands, trying to prevent herself from showing any emotion or pain she was currently feeling. Gabriella smirked at her before back away two steps, gasping.
"It's actually real? Oh my god!" she exclaimed sarcastically, as she rolled her eyes. "Oh well. Now you can go get a nose job, to go along with the rest of your fake body." She stated as she gasped again, putting her hand in front of her mouth. "Now you'll match! Yay, you!!" she yelled in sarcasm, once again, as she jumped up and down, clapping her hands together excitedly, before resuming to her cold glare on the blonde in front of her. "Bye Green. Have fun getting even more plastic surgery. You'll need it!" she finished, waving, as she walked away.
"I'll get you back Montez, just you watch…" Melanie muttered under her breath, but her voice came out squeaky since she was still holding her nose.
-------
"Hello?" the voice answered, as Troy and Kelsi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Cameron, it's Troy."
"Oh great. Cya." Cameron replied sarcastically, as he hung up.
"What was that all about?" Kelsi asked Troy curiously, as he shrugged in response.
"I don't know!" he suddenly exclaimed. Kelsi groaned.
"Ughh, here try again." She replied, as she handed him her phone.
"Fine." He mumbled under his breath, while dialing Cameron's number again.
"Hello?" he greeted again.
"Cam-" Troy started, but was interrupted by him.
"What do you want Troy?" he asked coldly, as Troy winced at his hard tone.
"To talk." He responded.
"Why would you want to talk to me, when you have your precious little Melina?" Cameron retorted, icily.
"Come on, can't we just talk like we did before?" He questioned sadly, realizing why Cameron was acting so cold towards him.
"No."
"Please, just give me two minutes to talk." Troy pleaded, as he sighed.
"Please Cameron.. It's about Brie." Contemplating on what to do, Cameron reluctantly agreed.
"Fine. Two minutes. That's all." He told him.
"You see," Troy started.
"One fifty-five, one fifty-four…" Cameron counted to annoy him, as he took a water bottle out of his refrigerator.
"Cam! Stop it. It's Kelsi, and Troy, but that doesn't really matter, just listen to us, okay?" She argued.
"Whatever. Go. You have one forty-six left." He replied boredly, as opened his bottle, and rested it on his mouth, ready to quench his thirst. Troy and Kelsi looked at each other in defeat. She gulped, as she opened her mouth.
"Gabriella's cutting herself!" she exclaimed desperately trying to get his attention, as he spit out his water.
"WHAT!?!?" he yelled, as he fell out of his chair, eyes widened.
"Do we have your attention now?" She asked, smirking.
"Just fucking tell me already!" he retorted, as he got up, and started pacing around nervously.
"Okay…"
-------
Many emotions ran through Cameron's head, as he listened to Kelsi and Troy tell him, the events that were currently occurring in his cousin's life. He didn't know what to do. He didn't know if he should be mad, that she had lied to him. If he should feel sad for Gabriella. He didn't even know if he should feel guilty for letting this happen to her. He did make a promise to look out for her, with their grandfather before he passed away, years ago, before his family moved to California. He shook his head and sighed frustratedly, as he listened to the two finished their story.
"Hey Cam? Are you still there?" Kelsi asked softly as she wiped her eyes of tears that had fallen, when she told her story. He started to pace again, as he answered her.
"Yeah, I am Kelsi." He replied, as he ran his hand through his hair. "What are we going to do?"
"Kelsi came up with a plan to solve your transportation problem." Troy stated carefully. Cameron's ears perked up almost immediately.
"And that is?"
"You can come over here using her dad's private jet." She answered proudly.
"That might be a little tough, guys." He told them sadly.
"Why?" Cameron sighed sorrowfully.
"I kind of had a fight with him a couple of days ago." he replied.
"What did you do now, Cameron?" She queried disappointedly.
"I… uh- called him a bastard." He told them quietly, as they gasped.
"What?" Kelsi and Troy yelled out.
"Not intentionally!" Cameron defended. "He called me before he left for New York, and I was just fed up that he wasn't going to stay and comfort Gabriella, and it just… slipped."
"How exactly did it slip?" she questioned carefully.
"Well, it kind of came out as, 'You're such a mother fucking bastard!' But that was when I thought he had hung up already…and yeah."
"Ughh, whatever you did Cameron, you're going to have to fix. We have no time for your petty little problems with your uncle." She scolded, as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"Yeah dude, just call him, make amends, and ask for the jet. We need you over here for Brie." Troy reasoned.
"Whoa. You're actually caring for her now? I thought it was all about Melina." Cameron replied smugly.
"It's Melanie."
"Whatever." he responded plainly, as Troy balled up his fist, ready to yell. Kelsi rolled her eyes.
"Stop it you two babies! Cameron, go call Nathan already. You and Troy can talk about his love life AFTER we save Gabriella from depression, and hurting herself!" she yelled, trying to get her point across.
"I know. I'm going now. Thanks for telling me. Talk to you soon Kels." She smiled, as she responded.
"Bye Cameron."
"And Troy?" he called.
"Yeah?"
"It's Melina!" he exclaimed. Troy was about to respond, but Cameron had already hung up.
-------
"Hello? Nathan Montez speaking." Nathan greeted, as Cameron nervously cleared his throat.
"Hi Uncle Nathan. It's… umm, Cameron." He responded.
"Oh. Hello Cameron. What would you like?" His uncle questioned suspiciously.
"I just wanted to apologize for calling you a…yeah last phone call." He stated, as Nathan coughed slightly.
"It's okay, son. I knew you only meant to protect Gabriella."
"Great. I didn't want things to be tense between us or anything." Cameron confided.
"Yes, but I'm guessing that that's not the reason you called?" Nathan guessed, as Cameron sighed.
"Umm, could I ask for a favor?" he asked.
"Go ahead. I'm all ears Cameron." Nathan reassured him.
"Uncle Nathan… could I take your private jet to visit Ella?" he requested.
"Why?" Cameron prepared himself for a debate with his uncle.
"It's just-" he started, as Nathan cut him off.
"No, you didn't let me finish. Why.. not? Gabi could use some company. I'll send Doug for you. You remember him right?" Cameron breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yeah. He's cool. When would he be able to get here?" He responded.
"Probably tomorrow, the next day the latest. There's been snow, and blizzards here in Brooklyn. It's hard to travel in this weather, you should know that." Nathan explained.
"That' great! I-umm... uhh-, not the blizzard thing. But the arrival time, and such." Cameron rambled, as his uncle chuckled light-heartedly.
"I know. Just make sure to take good care of Gabriella, and the jet, Cameron."
"Yes Uncle."
"Good. Now I have to go. Your aunt wants me to spend time with her and Izzy." He rationalized.
"Okay. Send my regards to Aunt Veronica and Iz too." Nathan smiled on the other side of the line.
"I will. Likewise to your parents and brother, Cameron."
"Will do. Bye Uncle Nathan." Cameron parted to his uncle.
"Bye Cameron." He smiled in triumph, as he pumped his hands in the air. He grinned brightly at the thought of seeing his cousin again, and being able to help her in her time of need, like she did for him long ago. He flipped his cell phone open again, and called Troy.
"Did you call him?" he greeted eagerly.
"Yeah."
"And?" Troy questioned slightly worried.
"Kelsi's plan worked! I should be in Albuquerque in two days, or sooner." Cameron answered happily.
"Great!"
"Now, tell me the truth Troy, how do you really feel about Gabriella?" he questioned curiously, as Troy's eye bugged out.
"W-wh-what?" he stuttered.
"You heard me."
"I- I… don't know. I mean Melanie's my girlfriend and all, but Gabriella comes first. I actually love her." Troy reasoned, as Cameron looked at his phone unbelievingly.
"Wait, but if you love Gabriella, then why did you shun her? Why are you with that Melanie bitch?" he questioned in confusion. Troy smirked, as he thought his way out of the question he did not want to answer.
"Hah, it's Melanie." He said cockily.
"Shut up, and answer the question Troy." Cameron replied, running out of patience, as Troy sighed on the other line.
"Our parents wanted us together, and I didn't want to disappoint them. I just tried to love Melanie, since I was losing hope for Brie feeling the same way, and it just happened. The world I knew was completely turned upside down." Troy explained, extremely perplexed himself. "Gabriella was the antagonist, and Melanie was the protagonist." He stated as he sighed. "I didn't know what to do, choose the love of my life, or the person that my parents matched me up with. It was-" he was about to finish, when Cameron cut him off with a chuckle.
"You've been watching too many chick flicks since I've last seen you man. Get a guy movie, and be a man!" Cameron joked, as he laughed.
"Shut it Cam."
"Hey, just trying to lighten up the mood." He responded, shrugging his shoulders.
"Whatever. I'm just glad that we're going to be able to help Gabriella out. I don't want anything to happen to her." Troy said, sighing downingly.
"Me neither."
-------
"Come on… pick up Gabi." Kelsi muttered to herself, as she paced around her room. She had just left Troy's house, and on her way to her own home, when she saw Melanie driving by, with a bloody face, and hands. She was worried that Melanie had done something to Gabriella, or something worse. After the fourth ring, Gabriella finally picked up.
"Hello?" she answered, as Kelsi immediately stopped pacing, extremely glad that her friend picked up.
"Hey Gab!" she greeted.
"Hey Kelsi." Gabriella returned.
"Have you seen Melanie lately?" Kelsi questioned nervously.
"Umm, just about an hour ago. Why?" The brunette replied.
"Nothing. What happened? Did she hit you or something?"
"Well, she started to get in my face, and I just punched her. But that isn't even the shocker." Gabriella replied, as she sat up on her bed.
"Why, what is?"
"I think I broke her nose." She answered.
"What?!? She has a real nose?" Kelsi asked in disbelief, as Gabriella giggled.
"It's seriously real. I heard a cracking noise too." She responded, as she nodded her head.
"B-but she's like plastic surgery queen!" Kelsi exclaimed, shaking her head.
"Hah, I know!" Gabriella replied, as she laughed, soon Kelsi joined her.
"I still can't believe you punched her…and she has a real nose." She said, after the laughter between the two had softened.
"Is that the only reason you called?" The brunette questioned, looking down at her shoes.
"Sort of. Because on my way back, I saw her driving by, and I thought she did something to you, and I was just worried for you." Her friend explained, as she giggled softly.
"Oh, don't worry about it Kelsi. I'm okay. Not happened." Gabriella reassured her.
"Yeah, I know that now I also want to tell you that C-"She started, but was cut off my another voice. "Uggh, sorry Gabi, my mom's calling me. How about I come over later, and we'll hang out like old times?" she questioned. Gabriella smiled slightly, as she responded.
"Sure. Sounds like fun."
"Okay. Talk to you later Gabs."
"Bye Kelsi."
"Bye Gabi." Kelsi told her friend, as she hung up.
Gabriella closed her cell phone, as she gently laid it on her nightstand. She sat on the edge of her bed, and laid down, looking up at the ceiling. Her mood wasn't as morose and down casted as it was before, and she was glad of that. She had a small amount of happiness in her. She had just purged unintentionally a couple of moments ago, but she couldn't have felt better. Her mood rose, as she thought about Melanie's probably broken nose. For the first time in a long while, she was feeling okay. All she had to do now was to clear her name, and get her life back to the way it was, and she would be content again. She sighed as she heard the doorbell ring.
She slowly got off of her bed, and went downstairs to answer the doors. The doorbell was soon enhanced with the sound of pounding on the door. Gabriella shook her head, and she hurried her way to the door. She didn't bother to look through the peephole to see who it was. She presumed that it would be Kelsi again. She opened the front door, and was immediately greeted with a slap on the face.
"You bitch!"
Cliffy! (: Who slapped Gabriella? Hint: It's not Melanie.
Don't hate me for that cliffy or the shortness of this chapter. I was going to include the next part, but my brother's kicking me off my laptop, since his 'doesn't work'. Pftt, yeah right. Haha, have a great one! Let's try to reach 165 reviews before the next update? It shouldn't be that hard to reach for you guys. (; And it'll probably give me enough time to write. We'll see.

Sneak Peak-
"What the hell was that for?"
"Melanie."
-------
"Just go die Gabriella!"
"Maybe I will…"
-------
"Brie? Brie?"
"Wake up Gab!"
"God, you're scaring us. Stop joking around Gabi!"
-------
Haha, the sneak peak is so agonizing this time, isn't it? d:
