Chapter 2

Only a half and hour later after what her mother had told her, Gabriella found herself standing on her boyfriend's doorstep, sobbing as hard as she could while knocking on the door lightly. She heard footsteps approaching the door, and she hiccupped lightly, trying to gain some control before someone answered it.

The door opened, and Gabriella looked up at the person with a tear-stained face, hoping that Lucas was the one that answered. But instead, she looked into the eyes of what seemed like a very bored maid of theirs. One of the many his family had.

"May I help you Miss Montez?" She said in mono-tone, slightly annoyed by the usual routine. She just figured it was another one of Gabriella's periodical days, where she came and had to cry over it with her beloved boyfriend. And frankly, the maid couldn't care less.

"I need to see…Lu-Lucas…" Gabriella managed to sputter out, covering her face in her hands with her sobs. The maid gave a roll of her eyes, and shouted into the hall for Lucas.

Shortly after, Lucas came bounding down his big spiral steps and headed towards the front door. "What's going…baby?" Lucas started saying, but stopped when he saw his girlfriend hunched over, crying into her hands.

"Oh Luc…it's horrible!" Gabriella shrieked, flinging herself into her boyfriend's arms, both unaware of how disgusted the maid was, and with another roll of her eyes, shut the door to leave them with privacy.

"What's horrible babe?" Lucas asked her impatiently, just watching the girl cry helplessly in his neck. She just shook her head as more sobs flowed out. Lucas sighed incredibly loud, "Gabriella…TELL ME right now…Jesus…"

"I'm moving" Gabriella said softly, sniffing as she moved out of Lucas's arms. She crossed hers across her chest, and she stared awkwardly down at the steps, seeing her tears drip off her face and down onto the ground.

Suddenly Gabriella heard someone bellowing loudly, and she looked up startled, to see Lucas practically dying with laughter. Gabriella wrinkled her nose in confusion, and her eyes glazed with hurt. "Wh-what are you laughing at?" She asked him softly, watching him clutch at his sides.

"Moving…that's a good one…" Lucas chuckled, as he wiped tears away at his eyes, from laughing so much. Realization dawned on Gabriella…he thought she was joking. But she sighed knowing she wasn't,

"Lucas…I wasn't joking. I'm moving to some…some stupid small town called Mayville…"

Lucas immediately stopped laughing and looked at Gabriella finally, who looked as if she was going to start sobbing again because she had mentioned Mayville…and he groaned at that fact. "Oh damn…you're for sure?" He said in a surprised tone.

Unable to talk any longer, she just nodded her head, feeling more tears spilling off her cheeks. She broke down again, and ran into her boyfriend's arms. Frightened by all the crying the girl was doing, he just awkwardly patted her on the back.

Gabriella sobbed openly on Lucas's chest, and he just stood still…and gave no use to comfort her back. "Babe…you can't leave me alone in New York! Just tell your mom she's having a psycho moment and be done with it" He shrugged.

Gabriella stopped crying and just gave Lucas a shocked look. "Could I do that?"

Lucas just shrugged again. "I don't see why not…seriously, this is your SENIOR year…1 more year until college…which is basically when you get free from your whacked up parents anyways" He said in a not really caring voice, which made Gabriella stop and take a step back from him. All she had was her mother now…her dad died when she was ten.

She stared intently into his eyes, and she saw completely carelessness. Was this really what he thought? Did he really not care much about if she left or not? Did he really think that, she would completely ditch and not care about her mom anymore? She felt her blood boil up with anger. Lucas looked slightly frightened, not knowing exactly why she was giving him that look.

They both were too busy staring at each other, one worried and one angry, to notice a car pull up next to the gate of the house.

"You asshole" Gabriella spat out angrily, grabbing her purse from the porch railing, and stomping down the driveway without another word.

"Baby, where are you going? What about us?" Lucas called out after her, confused into why she was acting this way. Gabriella let out a frustrated scream, and turned around so swiftly, that Lucas felt frightened to move an inch.

"You can't just INSAULT my family all you want and think you can get away with it! I CANNOT BELIEVE I didn't see this in you before! You are just full of…UGH! We are over Lucas Middleton…don't bother contacting me again!" Gabriella yelled harshly, still not noticing as Shelly was slowly coming up from behind of her.

"Huh?" Was all Lucas said to reply back, utterly bemused and confused at what was happening. Gabriella just let out a cynical laugh, and turned around to leave, but turned back around when she knew she had something else to say.

"Have a nice life in New York, Lucas" Gabriella finished coldly, turning around and determined to never walk back, grabbing a hold of her best friend's hand in the process. Shelly gave out a shriek, but followed her in an instant, knowing she was totally about to blow smoke.

Once they were both clear and outside of the gates, Gabriella let out another aggravated scream that seemed to echo over the entire neighborhood. Shelly held her manicured hands to her ears, and slowly let them go when she heard her calm down a bit.

"Gabriella…what's going on? Did you just say what I thought you said?" Shelly asked her shakily, still shocked over at what was happening. She watched as Gabriella sniffed and looked up at her best friend.

Her eyes shimmered with tears again, and she swiftly ran over to hug Shelly. "I'm so sorry Shell…my mom told me after you left…I'm moving to some town called Mayville. And-and I'm never coming back!" She wailed, sobbing into her friend's hair.

Shelly let it all sink in finally, and together they stood there sobbing and clinging onto each other…as if they were never going to see the other again.

And then it was only a week later, and Gabriella found herself standing in the driveway of her beloved mansion, taking one last look at it forever. She sniffed and sighed dramatically up at her house, remembering all her memories she had in that place. She watched as her mother walked by, only taking a quick glance at her, before rolling her eyes.

"Honestly Gabi…stop being such a drama queen" Lisa insisted as she walked past, which just got Gabriella even more aggravated with tears. Huffing loudly, Gabriella crossed her arms and turned away from her house, only to find herself in the arms of her best friend once more.

"Brie…I'm going to miss you so much!" Shelly cried, and they two friends stood hugging each other again, what felt like eternity. Sobbing and crying, crying and sobbing, they didn't know how they'd stop.

"Gabriella! We have to get going, to beat the city traffic! So get in your car, and let's go!" Lisa shouted over to her daughter, as she opened the driver's side, and got into her own car, with Gabriella's behind hers.

"Oh Shell…don't find any new best friends, alright?" Gabriella sniffed, her eyes still clogged up, but she managed to see her nod stiffly. With one last hug, and one last tearful goodbye, Gabriella grabbed her keys out of her skirt pocket and ran over to the driver's side of her silver convertible.

Shutting the door, and putting the top down, she waved solemnly to Shelly, watching her mom drive off into the distance. And starting her engine, she too drove off and away from her so-called home.

Wow…does anybody want to go through the chapter again, and review to me how many times exactly Gabriella starts crying in this chapter? Haha. And I know…it's totally not like her character Gabriella…this one is sort of stuck-up and well…Sharpay-like…but you'll just see. :-)

PLEASE REVIEW!!!!
