Sorry for the wait and all, but I've just started my last week of school for us and I've been loaded with homework and tests. I also had my great-grandpa's funeral to go to and I have to move some of my stuff from my mom's to my dad's new house and stuff so I've been busy. I will get out of school on June 10th and I have to work 3 days a week, but whenever I'm at my mom's, or have time to be sneaky at my dad's (cause he doesn't know I do this and doesn't approve) to write. I hope you all understand.

Come Back To Me: Chapter 2

THE NEXT MORNING

When I woke up I was completely tired, but I knew that Taylor was on her way over so I forced myself to get up and get my morning coffee. Just as I got up and stretched I heard that little voice that made my world go round.

"Gabi? Are you up?" my little sister of 7 asked me. I don't know why, but mom thought it would be best if Leslie lived with me instead of with her and dad.

The thing is is that she has the most beautiful set of blue eyes that can light up any room, or even make it rain, but both my parents have brown eyes. Her eyes sort of remind me of Troy's eye's, but enough about that.

"Yea sweetie, I was just about to make breakfast and get coffee. Come on," I said followed by a yawn.

"Is Tay coming over today?" she asked.

"Yes, but how would you know that? Hmm?" I questioned.

"Uh well you know there's that TV in my room and all, and I just couldn't sleep so the TV magically turned on and I didn't feel like getting up to turn it off and I heard what you said" Leslie said trying to keep an innocent face on.

"Like I'm going to believe that. You were watching TV till 2 in the morning. Don't you know that little girls need sleep?" I said to her.

"I'm sorry, but the George Lopez was on and he's just so funny, I mean he's got like a huge head, like the kid in my class Henry Weisgerber!" she exclaimed.

"Hey," I scolded, "don't be mean, he just has to grow into it, maybe then you'll seem like you have a small head when you grow."

"Well then what about Jacob Behringer, he has a big head too?" she said.

"Do you really want to get in trouble already today?" I asked warningly.

"No," she said.

"Well go and get dressed while I make breakfast, then Taylor is coming over," I said before she ran up the stairs.

I often wonder why my mom and dad left Leslie with me; I mean I just had an accident and they tell me that I should look after her. Sure they're old and stuff, but I was really young and I had to raise my sister. I don't even remember my mom being pregnant, but they said that might happen because a little bit of the amnesia hasn't worn off, and might not ever even. Leslie was just born before the accident, so I guess it's just something that I'll never remember, that was forever ago though. Sure I love her, she's my sister, but I've never gotten the chance to be a regular adult. Ever since my first year of college I've had to raise her.

I love her to death so at least I get to see her all the time, and she's even like my own daughter. When Leslie came back down the stairs I handed her her pancakes and sat down with her.

"So after Taylor comes over and we talk do you wanna go to the park, maybe we can pick up Sarah and get ice cream after?" I asked trying to keep a game plan.

"Really?!" she said since she loves the park.

"Yep," I replied as the doorbell rang. I opened the door to an excited looking Taylor holding a video camera.

"Since you didn't want to hear about the proposal this morning when I phoned, I brought the video," she informed me and then whispered in my ear, "Don't worry, I cut out the parts Leslie couldn't watch, you know, too mature for her."

"Uh thanks, and for your information, it was 2:30 in the morning and I was tired," I defended.

Leslie ran up to us and said, "Auntie Tay, does this," she pointed to her ring finger, "mean that you and Uncle Chad are gonna get married?"

"Yea and guess what, you get to be the miniature bride!" Taylor said with excitement oozing from her voice.

Her mouth dropped, "Nuh-uh!" she said amazed.

"Who else would I have beside you? You're the best niece ever," Taylor gushed.

"What is the dress gonna look like? When is the wedding? Is Gabi gonna be in it? Am I going to get a baby cousin soon?" she asked hurriedly all at once.

"Uh I don't know the answer to any of those questions, except she is going to be my maid of honor," said Taylor.

"Okay, can we watch the video now while I try and calm her down from her happiness?" I said referring to the bouncing 7 year old next to me.

Everyone agreed and we popped the DVD in the DVD player and watched the proposal with many edits made to it because of Leslie. I tried to concentrate, but I could only think of the man that I wanted to marry years ago.

Troy's POV

When I woke up this morning I knew that I'd have to talk to him. Sure he's my best friend and all, but I really don't want to know how he proposed. If I ever think about marriage, a certain brunette comes with it.

After I got up I made myself coffee and made sure my webcam was set up and all that stuff, then I took a shower. When I got out I turned on the webcam and there I saw my bushy-haired friend. I can't really call him my best friend anymore because he is all the way in New York while I'm here in Houston.

"Okay so we were just siting in the restaurant and..." Chad droned on and on.

"Dude I don't care! Can't I go and watch a movie?" I said bored.

"That reminds me," Chad said and I saw him typing and clicking on his computer.

"What are you doing?" I questioned warily.

"When you said the word movie it reminded me of the DVD Tay made for.. well the DVD she made so you can watch it and see how awesome I am," he said flustered for almost saying something he shouldn't.

I reluctantly agreed to this and when I did watch the video Chad sent me I was completely and utterly bored. Whenever I think of rings, proposals, or even marriage I think of that lonely item at the bottom of my dresser drawer.

Flashback

This was it, our 5 year anniversary. The thing is, it that I never thought that I would do this, at least not now at my age. I'm 18 for god's sake, but I feel I should, no, I need to do this, like I'm so in love with her I can't help myself.

I used the money that I had saved up for many years now and I bought it. Sure it wasn't fancy or anything, but it was like a substitute until I could afford something big and grand like she deserves. This was it, I had the ring, I had the girl, now all I had to do was ask her.

End of Flashback

How was it? I'm super uber sorry for the long wait for this chapter for the reasons that I wrote at the top. Please review so I know what this chapter was like.
