I didn't see Ryan for the rest of the day. It was probably a good thing because everyone knew something was up with me but I wouldn't admit to anything. If he had been around I don't think I would have been able to keep up the façade. Friday night me, Troy and our friends went to the movies. It kept my mind off of Sunday. On Saturday Troy invited me to spend the day with him and I gladly accepted. We went to the park first, got some ice cream, then went and sat underneath a tree.

"It's such a nice day today," Troy said. I nodded and snuggled up closer to him. How could I ever think being with anyone but Troy would be better than this? I smiled as he wrapped his arms around me. "Gabs, there's something I want to tell you," He said quietly. I stiffened.

"What is it?" I asked nervously. I tried to sound naïve. He looked down at me and held me closer.

"I love you, Gabriella." I stopped breathing. I stopped everything. I was frozen. Did he just say what I think he said?

"You… What?"

"I love you." He said again. I looked straight into his eyes and I knew this was no lie. Do I love him back? I don't know… It's only been a couple months. But these months have been the best two months of my life. No one has ever cared about me as much as Troy has. "I'm sorry… This is probably too soon-" He started but I cut him off.

"No! Troy… I love you too." I said. He sighed in relief. We smiled at each other and continued to sit and eat our ice cream in comfortable silence.

After the park we went and got some food at a nearby restaurant. We talked and laughed and for a while I completely forgot about Ryan and Sunday afternoon. Nothing could ruin this moment with Troy. We loved each other and nothing could come between us… I hoped. After lunch we walked around town for a bit and when it was starting to get dark he took me home. We drove up to my house and he stopped.

"Thank you for the wonderful day, Troy. I had a lot of fun," I said grabbing his hand. He smiled.

"Well, thanks for coming. I had fun too." He said and he kissed me lightly on the lips. I smiled into the kiss. "Goodnight Gabriella. I love you."

"I love you too." I said and got out of the car. I watched him drive away and I floated into my house on a dream.

"How was your day?" My mom said as she came out of the kitchen. I smiled at her.

"It was perfect." I said and I headed towards my room.

"Dinner's in half an hour!" My mom yelled from downstairs.

"Okay, mom!" I shouted back. I put my purse on my bed and then sat down at my computer and signed on instant messenger. When I signed only a few of my friends were on including Taylor and my friend Kelsi. Kelsi started talking to me.

Kelsiiii:Hey Gabbbbbs!

Gabriella's breaking free:Hi Kels. How's it going?

Kelsiiii:Meh, pretty good, U?

Gabriella's breaking free:Pretty good myself :)

Kelsiiii:So how was your day with Troy??

I couldn't help but smile at that.

Gabriella's breaking free:It was… Good.

Kelsiiii:Just good?

Gabriella's breaking free:Okay it was perfect! He told me he loved me!

Kelsiiii:OMG. What did you say back!?

Gabriella's breaking free:I told him I loved him back.

Kelsiiii:AWWWWWWWWWW.

Suddenly I got a pop up. Someone had added my IM. I didn't recognize the email but I accepted. I opened a convo with the person.

Gabriella's breaking free:Hey. Who's this?

For a few seconds the person didn't respond.

r.E:It's Ryan

I couldn't breathe. It was Ryan. Oh no. I had completely forgot about him! What should I say?

Gabriella's breaking free:Oh hey Ryan. How'd you get my IM?

r.E:Kelsi gave it to me. Anyway are we still on for tomorrow?

I was going to murder Kelsi.

Gabriella's breaking free:Yeah of course

r.E:Awesome. Gtg. See you tomorrow at noon!

And he signed off. That had definitely been the normal Ryan. It scared me how he could change like that. Maybe he had double personalities or something.

Gabriella's breaking free:You gave ryan my IM?

Kelsiiii:Oh yeah… should I not have?

Gabriella's breaking free:No no it's ok. I have to go. Love ya!

I signed off and went downstairs to eat dinner. Tomorrow was going to be an interesting day.
