Hey everyone, kinda had a bad day, but that's why I'm here writing this fanfic. I know I say it all the time, but it means a lot to me, so thanks to those of you who reviewed the story. So yeah, I'll hurry up and get to the story you guys are dying to read, haha. O btw, I don't anything except the plot.
Ummm, Surprise?
Gabriella walked into the living room to find her mother sitting and talking with a few people who Gabriella didn't know. There was a man, about her mother's age, but what really stood out was a girl, who looked exactly like herself.
"Oh my God." Gabriella managed to get out.
"Oh my God." The girl replied.
"Mom!" Gabriella screamed out, "Why is there someone here that looks exactly like me?"
"Gabi, hunny, come sit down, we need to have a talk." Her mother, Anna, said. (I made up a name for her mom.)
Gabriella tentatively sat down next to her mother on the couch, the other girl sat on another chair to Gabriella's left and to Anna's right sat the man.
"Gabriella, I don't know how to tell you this, so I'll just come right out and say it." Anna said as she looked up at Gabriella, who was now wearing a look of confusion. "This, is your father."
Gabriella sat still as her mind tried to process the information that was just given to her. This was her father, the father she had always longed to meet, and the one who she had given up on so long ago.
"Gabriella." The man said softly, "My name is, Greg, you don't have to call me dad if you don't want to."
Gabriella still sat there in silence, trying to decide what she was going to say. She used to think about what it would be like to meet her father, but she eventually accepted the fact that she probably wouldn't and gave up on it a few years earlier.
She raised her head and looked up at Greg, finally breaking the silence that had descended upon the room in the past few minutes, "Why did you leave?" She asked giving him a cold look.
"I knew that would be your first question." He stated simply.
"Well, what do you expect?" She replied, "How could you just leave me and never say a single word to me?"
"Gabriella, listen, it's complicated…" He was cut off by Gabriella standing up and screaming.
"COMPLICATED! How complicated is it that I'm your daughter? How complicated is it that you're my father? How complicated is it for you to love me?" She screamed out and tried to storm out up to her room, but her mother grabbed her and didn't let her leave.
"Gabriella Montez, I've taught you better than to act like that. He is your father, and you should respect him." She said trying to calm her daughter down, who was now on the verge of tears.
"Anna, its ok." Greg interrupted, "Gabi, I understand that you must be mad at me, but I always loved you, and I hated everyday that went by that I didn't get to see you, or even speak with you."
"Don't call me Gabi, that's what my friends and real family call me." She said, as a single tear began to fall down her check.
"Fair enough." Greg said plainly.
"Why are you here anyway, and is anyone going to explain why there's suddenly someone in my house that looks exactly like me?" Gabriella asked.
"Gabriella, did I ever tell you that you had a twin sister?" Anna said, with a smile.
"It must have slipped your mind." She said, before looking over to her sister.
"Hi, I'm Vanessa, and don't feel too bad, they didn't really tell me much either." Gabriella's sister said to her.
"Hi." Gabriella responded.
"Why don't you two girls run upstairs and catch up for a while." Greg said.
"Yes, your father and I have a few things we need to discuss right now." Anna said as she looked over to Greg.
With that, the pair ran upstairs to Gabriella's room and sat down on her bed.
"So, you've been living with dad?" Gabriella asked, as Vanessa nodded, "Where exactly do you live?"
"Daddy and I live in San Diego." Vanessa responded.
"So, how did this whole thing happen, I mean, I am glad to see you, but how did you get here, and how did he tell you that you had a twin sister, and well, everything?" Gabriella asked curiously.
"Well, it was last week, and all dad told me was that we were gonna fly over to Albuquerque on my last day of school to meet some family." Vanessa said as she began looking around the room. "I didn't know that family meant my real mom and my long lost twin sister though."
"So what, you just walk in and he says, 'Ummmm Vanessa, this is your mom?'" Gabriella asked.
"Haha, well pretty much." Vanessa said with a laugh, "They didn't even say anything about a sister, I was just as surprised as you were when I saw you."
"Well, I'm glad that we met, cause I've ALWAYS wanted a sister." Gabriella said as a wide smile crept upon her face.
"Me to!" Vanessa said. "So how are you, I mean, what do you like to do and stuff?"
"Well, I just pretty much hang out with my friends and stuff, I was actually at a bonfire before my mom called me home." Gabriella said.
"Sorry about that." Vanessa said with a small giggle.
"It's fine, this is a lot better anyways." Gabriella said, "What about you?"
"Pretty much the same thing, more or less, I play basketball though." Vanessa said as she began walking around Gabriella's room, examining every detail.
"Really, that's so cool, my boyfriend is captain of the basketball team." Gabriella said, as she smiled thinking about Troy.
"Oh, boyfriend huh, would that be who this is?" Vanessa asked as she picked up a picture of Troy and Gabriella from the musical.
Gabriella smiled, and walked up to her, picking up the picture, "Yes, this was taken after our school's winter musical, we got the leads."
"Wow, you sing? That's so cool!" Vanessa said with amazment.
"Well, you play basketball, whenever I go to some of Troy's games, I have no idea what's going on." Gabriella said as the two began to laugh.
"So, do you have any idea what's gonna happen with you and me, and mom and dad?" Gabriella asked her sister.
"Not a clue." She answered, "I'm just as lost as you remember?"
At that moment, a voice called from downstairs, "Gabriella, Vanessa, could you two please come down here."
"I guess we're gonna find out what's gonna happen right now." Gabriella said as the two began to return to their parents.
"Hey there you two." Their parents said as they walked back into the living room.
"Hi." They both replied.
"I know that this is going to sound a little rushed and last minute to you two, but we decided that it would be best if you stayed here with me and Gabriella went back to San Diego with Greg." Anna said to the two girls.
"WHAT" The twins said in unison.
"You can't split us up like that, we just met each other a few minutes ago!" Gabriella said.
"Yeah, why can't both of us stay here for a while, and then have both of us go back to San Diego." Vanessa suggested.
"Hunny, I wish that we could, but these two weeks are the only free time I'll really have all summer, and you mother isn't really in a position to take much time away from work as is." Greg said.
"So your saying that I'm only gonna have two weeks to get to know my mother?" Vanessa replied angrily.
"And what about us, are you saying that I'm not gonna spend time with my sister at all?" Asked Gabriella.
"Well no." Greg said, "For two weeks, you'll stay with me, then come back here to stay with your mom and your sister, who's gonna be here all summer, if she wants."
"Oh she wants." Vanessa added in.
"I guess that could work." Gabriella said, "So when are we leaving for San Diego?"
"Well that's the thing." Greg said with a strange smirk on his face, "We actually have to be at the airport in about an hour."
"WHAT!" Gabriella screamed out.
"Uhhh, surprise?" Greg said.
"Gabriella, hunny, please just hurry up and get your things packed, you don't have much time." Anna told her daughter.
With that, the twins ran upstairs to Gabriella's room to pack.
"I can't believe that I'm leaving in a few hours, this sucks." Gabriella pouted.
"Don't worry, its only for two weeks, then we get to hang out here all summer." Vanessa said, "And give dad a chance, he's really great."
"Yeah, I guess." Gabriella said.
Vanessa helped Gabriella pack, and before you know it, the four of them were at the airport saying their goodbyes. During the entire flight, Gabriella just slept, exhausted from the events of the night. In all the excitement, Gabriella forgot about all her friends, and didn't tell anyone that she was even leaving for two weeks. She even forgot to pack her cell phone, which she left in her pockets of the pants she wore to the beach. Vanessa just went straight to bed when she arrived back at the house, neither one of them really knowing what the next few weeks would bring them.
Well yeah, interesting turn of events, how forgetful of Gabi, haha. Read and Review guys!
