Gabriella awoke with a start. She was lying on a small couch in her room. She quickly opened her eyes, and remembered why she was on her own couch.
She quietly sat up, and stood. She smiled as she looked on her bed, Faith was still asleep.
Gabriella stretched her arms, and then glanced at the clock.
12:01
Gabriella yawned; she wasn't usually up this late.
Gabriella stood there a moment, then decided that she was hungry, remembering that she didn't ever finish eating her dinner, she decided to head back to the kitchen.
She quietly walked down the stairs, but she was humming.
The new Gabriella never hummed.
She happily skidded through the hallway, and walked into the dimly lit kitchen.
She bounced to the refrigerator and opened the door.
" Lets see what we have to eat!" she said quietly to herself enthusiastically.
She heard a noise behind her and she quickly turned around.
" Hey." Austin said groggily.
Gabriella just stood there. Her bubbly attitude now gone.
" Look, I'm really sorry about early…" He aid as he leaned against the bar.
" You're just apologizing because I'm mad at you." Gabriella replied icily.
Austin sighed, " Gabriella, please don't do this…I said I was sorry…"
Gabriella turned her back to him; she went back to the refrigerator.
" You're always sorry."
" What does that mean?" Austin asked as he kept his spot.
Gabriella slammed the refrigerator closed and swiftly turned around.
"What's that suppose to mean? That means I'm sick of you constantly apologizing for the things you do that never change! 'I'm sorry I worked late, I'm sorry I forgot that we were suppose to go out, I'm sorry I forgot." Gabriella snapped.
Austin was silent.
" You know what?" Gabriella sarcastically asked.
She didn't wait for a response.
" I'm sorry. I'm sorry for giving you so many chances."
"Is that what this is about? Gabriella, I'm sorry that I have to work, my job requires long hours, and unfortunately I can't spend as much time with you, and Faith."
" That's not what this is about." Gabriella replied blankly.
" Then what is it?" Austin asked, now pleading.
" What did you mean when you said that Faith wasn't your baby?" Gabriella asked.
That caught Austin off guard, " Well…I…erm…"
Gabriella wasn't going anywhere until she got her answer.
" It's just…Gabriella, the time doesn't add up…it's off…and we never…"
" Oh yes we did!" Gabriella replied angrily, " The night you proposed, remember?"
" Well…ok…but…" Austin let out a deep sigh, " Never mind."
Gabriella wasn't satisfied with his answer, but figured this was a lost cause, to argue about this.
" Are we ok now?" Austin asked sincerely.
" I honestly don't know." Gabriella replied, still infuriated about this whole ordeal.
Austin walked up to Gabriella, He silently kissed her cheek.
" Well, my mom always told me to never go to bed angry…" Austin smiled.
Gabriella was unfazed by his comment; she stared blankly at the wall.
Austin, obviously crushed by his efforts, turned away, and was leaving the kitchen.
" I want to go to Albuquerque." Gabriella said.
Austin walked back to her, " I can't take off any work though." He said to his fiancé
Gabriella just looked at him, her brown eyes brimming tears, " I want to see my friends and family again. We don't have to change the wedding, just…I want to see them." She said as a couple tears rolled down her cheeks.
Austin took sympathy on her, " Why don't you and Faith go…just take a mini vacation before we get married…" He said with difficulty.
Gabriella smiled, in the midst of her problems, she was happy.
" Are you sure?" She asked
Austin nodded.
Gabriella softly pecked his lips, " Ok, then we'll head out tomorrow, and only be a week, and Ah! I'm so excited!" she practically yelled as she bounded for the stairway.
Austin smiled at Gabriella's enthusiasm, " Have fun." He added weekly to, no one.
Gabriella quickly went back up the stairs.
She paused and looked over the banner at the darkness.
She smiled to herself.
" It's funny, the one place you once wanted to get away from, is now the place where you want to be…"
