Lol ok so anywho the story must go on!!!! PLEASE REVIEW I NEED IDEAS!!! Ok on with the story also thanks to the ppl who reviews I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus. Ok on wit the story.

Flashback (When Gabi was 7 years old)

"Gabriella can you get down here for a moment" I heard my mom yell for me. I could tell something was wrong. Her voice was cold.

"Um Gabi I'm not sure how to tell you this but your father…he was in a very bad accident.. and um he's dead…" I felt my heart drop. I couldn't believe it. I was so young and I wasn't going to have a father. A father to walk me down the aisle interview my boyfriends give my piggyback rides…never again. He was gone.

"NO HE'S NOT DEAD!!!" I yelled at my mother not believing what she had told me. I ran out of the house and cried out on my lawn in the rain. My daddy wasn't here anymore. And he's NOT coming back, ever again, even if I wish and prayed. There is nothing I can do about it. I heard the door open and my mother come rushing out to me. She held me close on the wet cold ground as we sobbed and prayed that this was just a nightmare that we were all going to wake up from. From that moment on I always felt weird when my mom brought a random guy home. My daddy was gone. No one could ever replace him. Not even if they tried. I would never let them in my closed door, a door that only belonged to him, My daddy.

End of Flashback

I quickly shut my eyes after thinking that and remembering it. I grabbed my leather jacket and ran out of my house. It started to rain. More than it already was. I had no idea where I was going. I noticed I had ran to the park. I took a seat at a swing and started to sway and think of what was going on..I heard someone say "can I sit?" I quickly nodded and looked up at Troy.

"How did you know I was here?" I asked him. He looked me in the eyes and said "Your mom told me what happened I knew I might find you here" I am glad that he didn't lie to me. I really did love him.

"Thank you for coming its just that I know I should go back and give him and chance it's just I don't know if I can" He nodded in understanding.

"I understand but you should give him a fair chance…" He said softly taking my hand which was on my lap. I looked at him and nodded. "I should but I can't" I said looking away to hide the tear that was falling down. Troy didn't buy it and quickly wiped it away.

"Why not?" He challenged. "Troy what would my dad think??? I'm the only one who is blocking out all the hurt from my mom I'm the one who was with her when she cried for my dad and I promised myself that I wouldn't let any guy ever walk into that door and and hurt her!!!" I exclaimed more tears running down my face. I got up after I said that and said " No one will ever understand" He immediately got up and held me as I cried into his shoulder. When I could breath I looked up at him and said. " Thank you you're right I mean maybe I should give him a chance he makes my mom happy I should want my mom happy and she's happy with him maybe this is a good thing that they met"

"You're right it is a very good thing Gabi your mom is happy now you just need to be happy." He was right I need to be happy. I'm happy if my mom is happy and she is…

"I better be going my mom is probably worried about me thank you for everything Troy you really are my hero" I said smiling and giggling a little bit when I said that last part. Troy soon started laughing too. I kissed him out of no where and when we broke away I smiled at him and said " I love you" I whispered. He stared into my eyes. Both of us getting drenched in the rain and said to me "I love you too Gabi" We kissed one more time under the rain in the park but this time we had so much passion and energy. I broke it though. I looked at him and whispered "I have to go talk to Brian.." he nodded. "I'll talk to you later though…" I asked looking into his eyes. He nodded again. "of course" I heard him whisper. I giggled at him. "Bye" he said it back and then I let go of him and walked away. When I got home I slammed the door to my room and ran into my bed still wet. I decided to just go change.A sweatshirt with sweats. I brushed out my wet hair and sat and looked out my window and thought about the conversation I had with Troy.I heard a soft knock on the door. I really didn't feel like talking it probably was my mom. I tried to ignore it. That didn't work either. I heard the door creak open. Brian was standing there looking at me. I looked up at him and quietly said hi. He waved at me and took a seat on my bed. Without asking..again. I just let it go and stared at him.

"Can we talk.." He asked me. I really didn't want to but I knew if I didn't the problem wouldn't go away…I softly nodded my head at him.

"Okay I know that I am not your father and I will never try to be. I just want to be your friend and maybe one day a good father figure for you to grow up with" He told me. I just looked at him and turned my head. I heard him sigh then continue.

"um maybe not a father figure but maybe someone who you can depend on." I heard him say. I just shook my head and looked back at him.

"How can I?" I asked softly. I heard him sigh again.

"Well how about we try to get to know each other a little bit better? I mean we can go take a walk with your boyfriend or something in the park or I can pick you up at school or drop you off?" He offered.

"Okay just drop me off at school and we'll see what happens.." I said not knowing if I said the right thing. He smiled at me and took my hand in his and said

"I'm glad your excepting me" I gave a half smile to him. I really didn't know that I was excepting him but I guess I kinda was. That door for a father will always be open to my dad but maybe just maybe another door can be open too…one for him…Troy was right I needed to take a chance and knock down the wall. "Okay listen Brian I am really sorry for the way I was treating you it just took my by surprise." I explained carefully.

"I completely understand Gabriella" He said.

"Call me Gabi" I smiled at him. He smiled back at me and nodded ok.

"Well I am going to go see what your mom is doing I'll see you later" He said as he walked out and closed the door. I sighed happily and went to sleep with dreams of the future…
