Dedicated to the guy that I was stupid enough to forgive after he left a comment on a picture of one of his girl 'friends' that was only wearing underwear that said "F--ING BEAUTIFUL". Sorry, I don't actually cuss so I'm not putting in the real word.

The Wanderer - Dion

The next morning Abby, Gabriella and Kelsi gathered there things from the room and walked out of the hotel room. Abby glanced at the hotel suite as the door opened.

A tall woman with messy red hair and very little clothing walked out. She smiled at the three girls and walked down the hall.

Abby's blood had frozen and she stared into the open door and soon saw Bryce groggily walk to the doorway, fumbling with buttoning up his shirt.

"This can't be happening." Abby gasped. She felt she made a mistake. She didn't marry Bryce, the gentleman she had dated for years; she had married a second Edward.

Bryce looked up at her and went pale, "Abby… this…."

Abby shook her head and started walking down the hall, not saying anything.

Albuquerque, New Mexico

12:00 PM

Gabriella was getting rather worried. Abby had refused to say anything after they had seen Bryce this morning. She and him were suppose to be on a later flight than what Abby had taken, but she had changed her ticket right away. Her parents were driving her belongings to Albuquerque in a U-haul and her T-bird so fortunately she didn't have to even worry about that. Gabriella was afraid if she had one more thing to worry about she'd explode. She glanced at Abby again as she pulled into the parking lot of their new apartment building.

Abby, Kelsi, and Gabriella got out of Gabriella's 1973 white Mercury Cougar (Gabriella having to let Kelsi out since it's a two door car).

"I really need to buy my own car." Kelsi muttered as Gabriella laughed a bit as she opened the trunk. "Seriously, your car and Sharpay's are hard to get out of! Why can't anybody get a four door car?"

"Hey, I love this car! I couldn't possibly ever get rid of it. Not to mention Troy gave it to me for our 4 year anniversary and he does the work on it for free." Gabriella said handing Kelsi her bags, Abby hers, and then getting her own out.

"So are we ready to see our new apartments?" Kelsi said as they stood in front of the stairs leading up to the second floor.

"You okay?" Gabriella asked Abby as she sighed.

"I have no idea. Nothing is going right." She responded as she started to walk up the stairs, getting out the key to hers and Bryce's apartment. Gabriella and Kelsi followed with the key to theirs, Sharpay's, and Taylor's apartment. It had been decided that the girls would all share an apartment and all the boys would share one. Luckily they had gotten three apartments in a row so everyone could be together.

Abby paused at the door to her apartment, the key half way into the keyhole. She took a deep breath and pushed the key the rest of the way in and turned. She opened the door and walked into the almost completely empty apartment and set her purse and keys on the table next to the door.

"Why don't you come and stay with us tonight?" Gabriella asked coming in behind her. "Your stuff isn't going to be here for awhile anyway."

"Thanks but no thanks. I guess I need to make sure that I'm going to be the only woman sleeping in my own bed." Abby replied quietly. "I'm not sure if I should do that, but I feel like I need to at least give this marriage a try even if he isn't."

"What about getting some ice cream and having a look at our photography studio then before he gets here?" Gabriella asked smiling a bit, trying desperately to brighten the mood.

"Sure, but don't you mean our party planning business?" She asked looking at Gabriella curiously.

"Hey, give me a break! I'm trying to help you be in a better mood so I figured saying our photo studio would make it better." Gabriella replied laughing a bit.

"You're doing a great job, it would just be pretty much impossible to make me feel better at the moment." Abby replied as she walked out of the apartment and locked the door.

Albuquerque, New Mexico

5:00 PM

Abby got home to find her apartment sitting wide open and a pair of shoes sitting next to the door.

"Bryce?" she asked, walking from room to room.

"Bryce went out to get food." a voice said from behind her.

Abby spun around to find none other than Edward standing in the bathroom doorway.

"You! What the heck are you doing here?! Get out!"

"Hey, hey, is that any way to treat family, Abigail?"

"You ruined my wedding day! Get out of my apartment!"

"All I did was give him a good time and I'm staying here for a while. Bryce offered me the couch until I get my own place."

"He WHAT?!"

"You heard me." Edward smirked.

"Oh you had better be lying you little tart!"

"Nope."

"Go back to Michigan where you just may freeze solid and be set up as a statue in a archery range!!"

"That's not very nice." Edward frowned, seeming to be confident in being there.

"Yeah? well let me show you my nice side!" Abby swung at him and he ducked. Abby chased him until he slipped on the tiled kitchen area and fell. Abby then took that opportunity to kick him hard in the back, "Get out of my apartment! FAR away!"

Gabriella, hearing the yelling ran into the still open apartment, but stopped short when she saw Abby struggling to push Edward Mills out to the Hall. Abby got him half way out the door and then slammed it shut. The girls heard him curse through the door.

"What is he doing here?"

"Bryce told him he could live here."

"What?!"

"Yeah."

"Why is he here?"

"I don't know."

"So you kicked him out?"

"I'm satisfied." Abby shrugged, "at least till Idiot number two gets here."

"Well I'm not!" Gabriella growled as she opened the door, walked out, and then slammed it after her.

"So decide to let me ba..." Edward started to say until he saw who it was. "Gabi..." He said rather nervously touching his nose that had a bandage on it.

"It's Ms. Montez to you and get out of my sight NOW!" She screamed not caring who heard her. He got up and started to walk away, but not very quickly. She went and opened the door to her apartment.

"Sharpay!" She yelled and Sharpay walked out of her room.

"What?"

"Get the baseball bat. We've got an intruder." She replied angrily and slammed the door as Abby came out of her apartment.

"What's going on?" She asked noticing that Gabriella looked even madder than her.

"I'm going to get to have batting practice." She replied as Sharpay walked out with a rhinestone decked out pink baseball bat.

Abby grabbed the bat as it was being passed from Sharpay to Gabriella, "Yes, because what we really need right now is the foundation for a lawsuit and you sitting in a jail cell."

"What's going on?" Kelsi asked walking out of the apartment, sticking her pencil behind her ear.

"Bryce let Edward in... to stay!" Gabi practically yelled.

"Well...this is going to be oodles of fun." Kelsi said before walking back in the apartment, plainly not wanting to get involved at the moment.
