Its been 6 day's since Gabriella heard the news. She has everything shipped to New Mexico, to a place called Albuquerque. Gabriella is on a plane now on her way to meet the Boltons, that's the family she's staying with.
When she got off the air plane she saw a women and man holding a sign with her name on it. They looked like they were in there late 30's early 40's. The women had dark short hair that came around her jaw line, and was not very short but not very tall either, and a little chubby. The man was fairly tall with light hair also, and looked like he worked out just a little bit.
She walked over to them and they all talked a little bit, got her luggage and started to drive to there house. She learned there names were Lucille and Jack Bolton. They also have a son Troy, but he didn't't come because he was at basketball practise. And that all of her stuff has already arrived.
Gabriella was shocked when they came to there house. It was huge! The had black sterling gates at the front to let you into the mansion.
"You guy's live here??" Gabriella said still shocked.
They laughed at her. "You live her now too sweetie." Replied Lucille still giggling.
"Oh and this weekend we would like to take you and let you get your own car." Jack said happily.
" Oh my gosh are you serious!!"
"Yes" He said.
Gabriella squealed. While her guardians just laughed at her.
"Come on Gabriella I think you should get settled in." Lucille said as she started to walk into the house.
As she entered the house she was amazed at how beautiful the house was. It was just so into style everything looked brand new. They gave her a grand tour of the house. They have a gym, indoors pool, a tennis court and a freaking basketball field outside. They even had a dance studio, where Marie did her yoga. And regular things like the bedrooms a huge kitchen, a dining room, and a awesome entertainment center. Gabriella was scared she would get lost.
When they came to her room she nearly fainted. It was so beautiful and big. Her bed was king size with the 4 poles going up from the bed for pink silk to drop at the top and a walk in closet. And her own bathroom with a Jacuzzi.
"Thank you so much, I love it here."
"Where glad you like it sweetie." Said a smiling Lucille.
Right after Lucille words Gabriella saw something that caught her eye it was a picture frame on the dresser, as she walked forward so she could see the picture. It was her parents and her before her mother died. Tears forming in her eye's Gabriella picked up the picture and studied the smiles on there faces of how they used to be so happy and now there all separated.
"Umm where did you get this picture?" She asked her new guardians.
"Your mother sent it to us years ago." Said Jack.
"Oh" Was all she could say.
"We'll leave you to unpack." Lucille said gently.
Gabriella just nod's as the tears fall down her face. But before they leave she asks them if she could use there dance studio which they said yes to.
30 minutes later she's is in the dance studio with the music up a little to load dancing hard to make her forget that her dad gave her away, to forget that her mother died. To forget that she's alone. With no one.
Dancing to "into the night" she poured all of her passion out into her dance. Trying to forget everything she dances harder and harder until she's sweating and breathing heavily. When the song ended she fell to the floor exhausted. With hot tears burning the edges of her eyes.
All of a sudden she heard some one clapping. When she looked up she say the most handsomest, hottest guy she ever laid eyes on. He had dark brown hair, and piercing blue eyes and was very well built, and fairly tall. As she stood up he walked towards her. He had on a black leather jacket and faded blue jeans with a few holes in them.
She suddenly thought of her own appearance, and felt very self conscious. With a tight black tank top and very short grey shorts with Silver Lake high on each cheek. When he approached her he looked her up and down, slowly checking her out. Feeling uncomfortable she wrapped her arms around her self and decided to say something.
"You must be Troy. I'm Gabriella." She stuck out her hand to shake his but all he did was scoff. She quickly took back her hand feeling like a idiot.
"So you're the basket case huh?"
"Excuse me?" She said shocked at what he said.
"You're the girl with issues my parents had to take in. am I right?"
Gabriella didn't't know what to say she just stood there with her mouth opened. Shocked.
"So what's wrong with you anyway? Mommy and Daddy gone on vacation? And didn't't trust you home alone?" He said with a smug look on his face.
With that Gabriella walked over and grabbed her stuff and started to walk out of the studio with Troy hot on her trail.
"Aw she not going to talk?" For some reason Troy took a interest in her. He Didn't't know what it was but it was just something about her.
After Gabriella made it down the hall she started to look for her room with Troy still in tow.
"Hmm let me guess, parents divorced?" After no response he kept on going. "another kid? No that can't be it."
Gabriella made it to the stairs and climbed up.
"Hmm what else could it be. Aha!" He snap's his fingers. " Your mom's nagging you and being a bitch?"
That hit Gabriella hard and all of a sudden she spun around and looked him dead in the eyes and said him in a ice voice.
"Don't you dare say anything about my mother every again. You got that!" And with that she turned around not waiting for a reply and started to look for her room again.
Troy stood there a little shocked. No one has ever talked to him like that before. Well maybe a guy with a death wish has, but not a girl.
"Wow. Looks like I stuck a nerve."
Finally Gabriella finds her room and runs in a slams the door behind her and locks it just before the tears fall from her face. She slides down the door and brings he knees to her chest and just sobs into them.
On the other side of the door Troy heard this and feel's a pang of guilt.
And thinks.. "What the fuck!? Why am I feeling guilty?! I never feel guilty I have seen tons of girl's cry. And most of the time is my fault. So why the hell should I care about her?" A very confused Troy just walks off looking to find his parents to ask them what's wrong with her.
A few minutes later he finds them in the kitchen talking to each other drinking coffee. His mother was the first one to see him come in.
"Hello hunnie how was practise?"
"It was ok"
"That's good. So have you met Gabriella yet son?" Asked his father.
"Uh yea I did. So Why is she here anyway?" He asks while sitting across from his parents.
"Well Troy-" His mother got him off.
"I think if she wants to tell Troy she will tell him in her own good time."
"Aw come on mom tell me."
"No Troy, me and your father aren't going to tell you, it isn't that right sweetheart." She says as she puts her hand in her husbands.
"Uh that's right. Sorry son."
"Oh my." Troy get's up to leave when his mother say's.
"Troy I want you to make Gabriella feel at home while she stays here ok?"
"Yes mom." He mutters. On his way to his room he passes Gabriella's room and hears her on the phone and decides to listen in.
"Hey Lis! I know I miss you so much too. It's ok here. There house is beautiful you should see it, it has everything in it. … yea. So how's everything back home? They what!? Tore down my house! Why the hell would dad have them do that for? This sucks, I just want to go back so bad I miss everyone. Yea. Me too. Ok I'll talk to you tomorrow. Love you!"
After that it sounded like she hung up. And Troy just went to his room.
