Cottonwood Mall

"Oh good. Fattening food!" Abby exclaimed as they walked into the food court.

"What?" Sharpay asked confused.

"Bryce doesn't like fattening food in the house." Abby quickly replied wishing she hadn't said that out loud.

"I thought guys loved junk food."

"Not Bryce, you should have seen the look on his face when he saw that apple pie Zeke sent over. I got to eat it but Bryce gave a little fit. Next time Zeke sends me pie, I'm taking it and keeping it at my desk at the studio."

"Weird." Gabriella said frowning slightly. "So where did you guys want to go?"

"Bookstore and maybe Bath and Body Works." Abby replied hoping that the others would want to go somewhere else.

"I'll go to the bookstore, but I need to go put up more fliers for Kodachrome Studios and Company."

"I need shoes." Sharpay replied as she ordered a smoothie.

"Shar, you have more shoes than a major chain of shoe stores." Abby laughed.

"Well, there are these new stilettos out I want!" Sharpay pouted, "And it was your idea to come here! Live with the shoes!"

"Alright, we'll go to the shoe stores last, since I think it'll take the most time."

"Book first since it's the most boring." Sharpay nodded.

"Plus me and Abby can pull the benches to sit on together in the shoe store so we can sleep on them." Gabriella said and Sharpay lightly hit her smiling.

Cottonwood Mall

8:00 PM

Gabriella looked for another bulletin board to put another flier on. She found one near one set of bathrooms and rolled her eyes noticing that there wasn't a push pin available. She pulled one out of the container in her purse and put it up.

Gabriella turned back around, "Abby, do you--" she then noticed Abby and Sharpay were nowhere in sight.

"Hey, Gabi, Baby." A soothing voice cooed, sending shivers up and down her back. She looked to the right to come face to face with Edward.

"Go away now." She replied, jaw and fists clenched.

"Why?" He asked putting his arms on either side of her, trapping her next to the wall. She cursed in her head. How did she get in this situation? No one was around her and it was almost time for the mall to close. There wasn't much of a chance for her at the moment. "There's no one around. How about we have some fun?" He whispered as he smirked, knowing what she was thinking.

"How about you move to Timbuktu?" Gabriella responded smiling as she got a plan.

"If you come with me." He replied moving closer to her as she hurriedly searched for something in her purse.

"It would be my pleasure." She replied as she found her push pins and stuck one into his arm quickly.

"Ow!" he gasped and pulled his arm back. Gabriella started to run but he caught her before she could take two steps. He swung her back into the wall, making her drop her purse. "Not so fast, My Gabi. I only want to talk to you. Listen, I understand that I hurt you and so you are avoiding me, but come on, I let you alone for a few years, let you play house with that Troy boy, but your heart is still mine."

"In your sick twisted dreams, perhaps." Gabriella snapped, "Let go of me, now."

Edward jerked her closer to him, "Gabi, I'm not and nice and forgiving as my brother is, but I'm trying to admit I was wrong back in high school and Please! Forgive me! Give me one more chance."

"Edward, let go of me." Gabriella tried to painfully yank her arm away from him.

"Not until you listen to me."

"I did."

"No you didn't."

"Yes I--" Gabi was cut off when Edward planted a rough kiss on her lips. She started to struggle to get him off and finally pushed him away and falling onto her butt on the floor.

"Some other time, perhaps. I'm going to make you mine." Edward said, disappearing around a corner mere seconds before Abby and Sharpay walked around a different corner.

"Why are you on the ground?" Abby asked looking at her best friend confused.

"I fell." Gabriella responded deciding not to say anything. Plus she was still a bit shocked.

"Huh." Abby responded still confused. "Well thankfully Sharpay found her shoes right away so now we don't have to stay here forever."

"Malls about to close. I had to hurry." Sharpay huffed, wishing she could have stayed longer.

Lava Springs

10:00 PM

"Man, I'm tired! That was so much fun though!" Chad said as he finished his drink.

"No kidding." Troy replied putting his arm around Gabriella who was sitting next to him. They had all just finished doing a wedding. Abby as the photographer of course, Gabi switching between photographer and waitress, Troy, Edward, Jason, and Chad, as waiters, Taylor as the wedding planner and another waitress, Zeke as the Caterer, Kelsi played the piano, while Sharpay and Ryan sang. It had been even easier than the wedding they had done before the previous month since the couple getting married had already decided that they were getting married at Lava Springs.

"Thank goodness we don't have anymore weddings until ours. I'm not sure I could handle it no matter how well they pay." Gabriella said leaning into Troy.

"You guys decided on what date?" Asked Kelsi smiling as a waitress brought her some more water.

"November 17th" Troy answered. Gabriella turned to smile at him, glad he remembered the date.

Abby watched her friends talk. Weddings at the moment honestly disgusted her. She didn't know how she got through the day working on this one. Every time the word was even spoken her thoughts went back to her own. The biggest mistake of her entire life. Now she paid every day. It wasn't just Bryce beating her now, it was Edward too. It was almost like she had two horrible husbands – or animals. Whichever term you prefer.

"Abby?" Called Gabriella, breaking Abby out of her daydream – well, day nightmare. "Your phone is ringing." She said smiling at her. Abby groaned mentally seeing it was Bryce calling her.

"Get home now." Was all he said after she picked up.

"Hey guys, I've got to go. It's getting late." She said sadly before getting up.

"You haven't gotten your desert yet though!" Zeke said, looking almost hurt.

"Sorry Zeke, I'm full." She replied quietly and walked out to her car.

"I really wish I knew what was wrong with her. She won't tell me." Gabriella said as she watched her best friend sadly with Edward right behind her.

"Me too." Ryan whispered to himself.

So I would like to point out that I'm extremely sorry that it took about a week longer to get this chapter out than it should have… I (Star) got home Sunday night, but I had also just started reading Twilight…. And once I start reading something that good, I can't put it down. I finished the third book in the series yesterday. So don't blame Lissa for the lack of updates. I'd also like to mention that reading Twilight made me rethink using Edward as a name for the bad guy ha ha. Edward Cullen is raising the standards for future boyfriends, that's for sure lol.

My trip was good, but I didn't write a thing while I was gone (Sorry!!). I'll have pictures and stories from it up soon on my blog if you're interested. I've got one insane story that happened in Albuquerque!
