Twist of Love
Chapter 12.
"Honey, are you ok?" Gabriella's current boyfriend, Cole (remember third camera dude?) asked, when he entered her backstage room and saw her staring blankly into a wall. It was pretty worrying, but he also knew the reason. Gabriella had mentioned to him, that she might be acting a little weird on this tour, it was after all her first tour as a solo artist.
It had been a year since she and Sharpay split up, both as friends and as a group, though Gabriella remembered it, like it all happened yesterday. All the things Sharpay had said, and Gabriella had gotten where she was today, partly because she wanted to prove Sharpay wrong, but mostly for her own reason.
Thinking back made her so mad, but she couldn't help it. Like said, she remembered it like yesterday.
Flashback
"Gabriella, we need to talk!"
Gabriella looked up from her sheets of papers, she'd just been writing some notes down on, that could be used to write a song.
"Yeah, what about?" She questioned, urging for Sharpay to go on.
"I need to tell you something, it's quite hard for me, actually.." The blonde said, looking down on her folded hands on the table. "I did something, something terrible, and I feel so bad. Not as bad, as you'll probably feel in a minute, but still bad."
"Sharpay, didn't we talk about worrying me for no reason?" Gabriella kidded, because she thought, Sharpay was only playing around. If only she knew, what was to come..
Sharpay swallowed hard, mentally yelling at herself to stop, that it would only hurt her best friend, but she told herself, that not telling her would hurt her even more.
"Gabriella Raúl, I'm being serious." She paused, and Gabriella took note, that her best friend used her real name, her claimed 'middle name', which meant it was dead serious. "I... I should just come write out and say this, it shouldn't be this hard. I.. I.. Troy, he cheated on you... with me."
"Get out, he did not... You didn't, I mean you..."
"Gabriella, sense the tone!" Sharpay cut her off, looking deeply into her best friend's eyes, hoping she could see, how sorry she was about all this. "I'm sorry, but he did.. I did."
"Oh, my God. Tell me you just kissed." Gabriella prayed outwardly, and Sharpay looking down once again was her answer. "Just tell me you didn't sleep together."
"I can't..."
"You fucking slut!" Gabriella uttered, without even thinking about it. She had never called Sharpay that ever, she'd never called anybody that, but that piece of information made her boil over.
Sharpay stood up right away, getting ready to defend herself, and Gabriella followed her example. Oh, if eyes could kill.
"I'm trying to be honest with you here, and you just... you just..." Sharpay began to yell, but lost all words. This was beyond, what she had imagined would happen. Sure, Gabriella was gonna be furious, but Sharpay believed they could work through it, though it didn't seem like it right now.
"Let's pretend right here and now, that I'm not furious with you, and you tell me all the details in a calm tone?" Gabriella suggested in a very harsh tone, and she'd begun pacing, like she so often did, when she was this angry and/or frustrated. "How long has this been going on with the two of you?"
Sharpay looked down at her feet, ashamed, wishing it would all just go away, and that Gabriella would stop pacing, because that meant it was bad. "4 months, give or take." She said, barely audible. She hoped, she'd wake up any minute, and it would all be a dream.
"4 months?" Gabriella screamed, as she took a few steps closer to, what she could now call ex-best friend, and Sharpay held up her arms for protection, with the sense that Gabriella was on the edge of being able to hurt her.
"Give or take!" Sharpay screamed back, defending herself. But who was she kidding, she had no defence, she was gonna try everything, though. "And like you're any better yourself. You kissed Mitch Baker, and you knew I liked him!"
Gabriella snorted, this was classic Sharpay, trying to turn it around, but it wouldn't work this time. "We were 13 years old, and it was spin the bottle, I had to, now get over it already."
"Fine, but you know what? If you'd been there for Troy, this would have never happened." Sharpay yelled, and took a few steps back again, as Gabriella stepped threatening closer to her. "Well, it's the truth. You weren't there, when his mother died, hell you didn't even know she was sick again, but when she died, Troy needed comforting, and you weren't there but I was."
"And what? You couldn't comfort him like a normal friend? Y'know, give him a hug!?" Gabriella spat furiously, how could Sharpay try to defend her actions? "Or was that beyond your intelligence?"
"He said he needed me!" Sharpay screamed at the top of her lungs, on the verge of tears. "And beyond my intelligence? At least I can write a good song, you're too incompetent to do so."
That was it, the first slap was given, and that gave them both enough blood on their teeth to keep going and fight harder.
Sharpay spoke the next words, or rather yelled in harshly manners; "And you wanna know the details? Every night he wasn't with you, he was with me! We slept together practically every night, most of the times I didn't want to, but he said he needed me, and those were the magic words. He also said, he loved me, and that he didn't wanna hurt you. I loved him, and he loved me, heck I still love him, but I broke it off, because I felt guilty and I didn't wanna hurt you like that. Oh, and one more thing! You know our current no. 1 hit? Yeah, I was with him, when I wrote it."
"Oh, my God.." Was all that Gabriella could say to that. To think that Sharpay would let her record that song with her, without knowing its true background, was something she didn't think Sharpay was capable of. That song would never mean the same to her ever again, now it would just remind her of Sharpay's betrayal..
"Yeah, oh my God.. And while we're at details, you know the whole diary drama and the bruise I had? The bruise was from the sex Troy and I had the night before, and the diary story was to cover for it."
Gabriella couldn't take it anymore, she let the tears fall freely now. She had nothing left for Sharpay, nothing. "I think we should go our separate ways, personally and professionally."
"Good idea" Sharpay agreed, still fighting not to cry, and the struggle was harder now, seeing Gabriella cry. It was breaking her heart. "I'll try getting a solo career, and when I'm up with all the stars with a whole belt full of no. 1's, I'll think of you, and I'll hope you're still making enough money off our Sweethearts success to live for."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Gabriella asked, crossing her arms, offended.
"I'm just saying things, as they are." Sharpay explained in tone, as if it was the obvious. "You're so afraid of failing, that you'd rather not try. You wouldn't stand a chance against me, anyway."
With
those last words spoken, Sharpay grabbed her things and hurried out
of there, leaving Gabriella alone with her thoughts.
Oh, she was gonna prove her wrong.
End of flashback
Gabriella swallowed hard, as she fought tears, yet again. She hated when she got to think about it. It made her boil over, and wish to kill Sharpay, but it also hurt her. She hated to think about where they could have been, hadn't it been for Troy. She believed they would have still been touring the world, and have released 3 CD's by now. They were so popular, and she couldn't stand to think about what could have been.
"Hey, hey…" Cole whispered, wrapping his arms around his girlfriend, "No crying tonight, honey. It's your night, alright? It's your time to shine. I know it still hurts, but you've moved on, remember? It's your first tour, and 'G' is doing great. You're gonna be just fine. All your fans – new as old – will love you."
Gabriella turned around and shot him an appreciate smile, "Thank you, Cole…" she whispered, placing a light kiss on his lips, "You're the best. I love you."
He rubbed her cheek lightly, and chuckled, "I love you too, Gabs.." he paused, and took a seat in one of the comfy chairs, "So? Do you know who else is gonna be a this festival?"
"I have no idea." Gabriella muttered, as she turned to her mirror, getting ready to fix her make-up, "I heard rumours that Jesse McCartney was gonna be here, along with Carrie Underwood. But it's just rumours, 'cuz no one wanted to tell me anything! I just agreed on this, to get 'G' going better."
"It's doing fine!" Cole said, confused.
"Yeah," Gabriella muttered, turning around to stare him down, "But not as good as 'Headstrong'!"
"Forget about it…" Cole muttered, biting his lip, "Just forget about it, Gabriella! You've moved on, alright? You're here tonight to have a good time, and rock! You're going to sing some of the songs that mean so much to you. It's time to share them with the world."
"I've already shared them," Gabriella giggled, turning around to fix some eye shadow, "'G' has been out for about a month!"
"But you haven't done any live shows since the Sweethearts broke up."
"I so have!" Gabriella said, staring at him through the mirror, "A month after we broke up, I sang '(Don't It Make You) Happy!' live on Regis and Kelly."
"Yeah, but that sucked without Sharpay, so everybody decided to forget about it…" Cole teased, poking her on the butt, with his foot. He just managed to reach her from where he was sitting.
"Like she didn't screw up!" Gabriella mumbled, finally done with her make-up, "When she tried to release 'Sexy! No No No' alone, it hit rock bottom. She totally screwed up!"
"And that makes you very happy." Cole said, nodding his head a bit.
"Yeah," Gabriella trailed off, as she got to think about what Sharpay had done to her, and her relationship with Troy, "Yeah, it did."
Flashback
Gabriella angrily walked through the door, and into the Bolton's house, smacking it close behind her. He was home, because the door was unlocked, and whatever he was doing, he would have heard her. She had used all her strength in that smack.
"TROOOOOOOY!?" she screamed, stomping into the living room, her heels clicking against the wooden floors. She really hoped his dad wasn't home, because she didn't want to get interrupted in this. She needed her space to yell at him, and bite his head off…
Troy appeared in the doorway into the kitchen, and held tightly onto the doorframe. He looked really scared, as his hair was tousled to the side, the way she loved it so much. But for once she didn't take notice to this. She just shot him an angry glare, and crossed the floor, stopping right before him.
"Gabriella?" he questioned, blinking with his eyes.
"Troy!" she shrieked, "You wouldn't believe what I just heard!"
He took a step back, and swallowed hard, "What did you hear?"
Gabriella laughed, which came out as a high pitched giggle, because she was that angry. She tried to hold back some of her anger, but she just couldn't. It hurt too much to think about what he had done. He'd slept with her best friend, while going out with her. He knew how close she and Sharpay were, and that he'd hurt her like that, after she gave everything to him, was just… It was just sad. She'd never be able to look the same way at either of them. It was too much, she was too ashamed.
Why hadn't she seen the signs? Well, she sorta had. She'd suspected that something was wrong, and other people had been on the verge of figuring it out too. After all that jazz with the magazine, and the 'false' story about Troy and Sharpay sneaking around… Gosh, she couldn't believe they'd actually managed to convince her there. How could she have been so blind? And that they'd lie to her, into her face, when she had confronted them… Urgh, she was so angry!
"Gabs?" he said, slowly lifting his hand on to touch her arm, but she jerked back.
"Don't touch me!" she shrieked, as tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked at him, hurt and betrayal written across her normally beautiful face. Right now, she looked haunted.
"I can't believe you…" she cried, letting the tears slide down her cheeks, "I can't believe you, Troy… I gave you everything I had. Everything. I really thought I'd found the guy to spend my life with. I loved you for God's sake! You were it, Troy! And you just.. You just trampled all over me!"
"I guess Sharpay told you, huh?" Troy whispered, his blue eyes immediately falling sad, while his smile faded.
"You bet I did!" Gabriella screamed, hitting him across the chest, "She told me! I don't know why she suddenly decided to do so, because it surely didn't look like it was planned! I can't believe you two! And for SO long! I thought you loved me! I thought you guys were just friends… But you were with her. All the times you weren't with me, you were with her.."
"I'm sorry, Gabriella," Troy told her, swallowing hard, as he was still rubbing his chest were she had hit him, "I really am. I didn't mean to hurt you. I never wanted to hurt you."
"Then why did you?" Gabriella asked, looking up at him, "Why did you hurt me like that when you didn't 'mean' to? Why, Troy? I can't figure out what I did to you? Why did you sleep with her? Why? WHY!?"
He let out soft breath, and looked at the floor, "I fell in love…" he whispered.
"You fell in love?!" Gabriella shrieked, pushing him hard away, so he stumbled backwards, "And you decided to just screw her! Instead of telling me you fell for her, you decided to cheat on me, and just lead her on?! She's a bitch for what she's done to me, but if you guys had come to me before doing anything, I would've understood!"
"It's easy for you to say that now, Gabriella." Troy said, swallowing hard, "You wouldn't have felt the same if we'd come to you four months ago… and stop calling her a bitch! She's not a bitch, I love her."
Gabriella shook her head, and took a step back, "You're an idiot, Troy. You've ruined the best thing that ever happened to me. I loved Sharpay more than anything in the entire world. We've always been like sisters. And we would have been big. The Sweethearts would have been big, hadn't it been for you…" she shook her head again, as another tear rolled down her cheek, "But we can't do that now…"
"Are The Sweethearts breaking apart?!" Troy exclaimed, his eyes wide. His father would kill him, once he figured out that Troy was the reason for all this. He would absolutely kill him.
"Did you really think I could forgive her for this?" Gabriella asked, cocking an eyebrow, "You're really naïve, Troy… I can't believe that you're that stupid. How did I even go out with you? Maybe you guys are more alike… Sharpay's just as blonde!"
And with those words, she turned around and went out of the house, Troy just staring after her. He couldn't believe that this was the end. It was the end of everything. The Sweethearts, Gabriella and Sharpay's friendship, his relationship with Sharpay, and his friendship with Gabriella…
What had he done?
End of flashback.
Cole had left her for a while, so she could be alone, and get ready for her performance. She was so excited to go on stage. She was really nervous to be alone for once, but she also knew she'd feel good about it once she got it done. There were so many songs she couldn't wait to sing on stage. There was such a history behind almost each of them, because she had written them herself. It was how she had been feeling during this whole ordeal. It had hurt her, but she'd also learned a lot from it.
And there were a lot of good things coming from this too. If Sharpay and Troy hadn't been sneaking around behind her back, she would have never gotten together with Cole, because then she would probably still have been with Troy. And Cole was so wonderful. He was one thing she definitely didn't want to ever let go of.
She knew that Sharpay wasn't dating anyone… not that it mattered. It wasn't like she checked all the gossip magazines, to look up on her friend, or anything. It wasn't like she waited for the day (Thursday) were all the news came. She just happened to buy the magazines she knew contained gossip about her ex-best friend.
And Sharpay definitely wasn't seeing anyone. She hadn't been for the past year, not since Troy. And if she had, it wasn't someone the world knew about. But Gabriella really believed she hadn't, because she had never had it easy with boyfriends. She hadn't had many serious ones while they were still friends, and Gabriella had never understood why, because she, herself, had had many.
But right now she couldn't be happier about Sharpay and her weird ways. For because of that, she hadn't been dating, and Gabriella didn't want her to be happy. She knew it sounded harsh, but she really didn't. Not after what she had done… But still, she couldn't help but think… Maybe Troy had been the one guy Sharpay had waited for, and she never got the chance to really have him, because she, Gabriella Raúl Montez, her best friend, had been in the way?
She let out a sigh, and decided not to think about it any longer. She'd much rather think about happier things… About Cole, and all her great songs…
Flashback
"If I should lose your love, boy, Shame on me, I was just too stubborn, Too blind to see…" Gabriella softly hummed, as she looked down at the paper, scribbling furiously. She had really been pumped on inspiration lately. Ever since she broke up with both Troy and Sharpay around two months ago, the lyrics had just been coming to her. And they weren't just about love (though most of them were), they were also about other things. Things that moved her. She couldn't wait if she would ever get to sing these song, maybe even release her own album, with just personal songs, and no Sharpay-influence.
She stopped and stared down at the paper for a moment. She had a bit trouble with the chorus, but she knew it'd come. She had all the other stuff down, but she needed the chorus. And of course, if she ever wanted to get this published, people would probably edit and add anyway.
"If I should lose your love boy, Shame on me, I was just too stubborn, Too blind to see, That I would lose your love, boy, Just tell me how to get you back, 'Cause I could never lose your love, Don't wanna lose your love…"
She smiled to herself, and wrote the rest of the chorus down. Sometimes it just came to her. She frowned though, when she realized who she was thinking about, while writing and singing this. He had shaggy brown hair, and piercing blue eyes, and his name was Troy Bolton.
Gabriella let out a sigh. Sure, she still wasn't over him, but she was getting closer. Writing songs and working with her emotions really helped her get through this. She also looked at the 'breaking news' front page clip of The Sweethearts' break up. There was a huge picture of both herself and Sharpay, and under that, the title.
On the inside, page after page was written about them, and what the writer believed could be the cause of their break up. They had guessed and guessed, because Sharpay, who had told the press about all this, hadn't wanted to give them a reason except for the quote that still haunted her:
'We just want different things. Our hearts aren't really in this group anymore. We like different styles of music, and we write different songs. It's time for changes in both our lives.'
…but the journalists had guessed and guessed, and some of them had guessed correctly. No one ever told them they had though, so it really didn't matter. No one (except the selected few) knew the real reason for all this, and Gabriella intended to keep it that way. She really didn't want to lose face…
End of flashback
Gabriella roamed through her suitcase, and fixed the year old magazine cut out of it. She couldn't help but look at it once in awhile, and she brought it with her practically everywhere when she travelled. Even when she just had to go home to visit her family. She kinda felt good by having it close to her, because sometimes she really needed to think about the past, and how well everything had been back then.
But things were good again now, weren't they? She had a wonderful boyfriend, and a great new album. 'G' was so well, and all the old fans had bought it, because they wanted to know if she did as well on her own as Sharpay did.
Their styles in music was very different, just as their personalities were. Sharpay's music was way more up-beat, and made people want to dance along like maniacs. It was very pop-y, just like Sharpay's wardrobe also was, wherever she went. Gabriella herself was more to the quiet songs, and the calm and collected look. Just like she was calm and collected herself. Except when… she got really, really angry.
Gabriella grabbed the cutting, and sat down in the comfy chair Cole had been sitting in before. She rested her head against it, and closed her eyes for a second, just relaxing. It was almost like yoga, it just relaxed her completely.
As she closed her eyes, she got to think about Cole, and their relationship. She had written a song about him, dedicated to him, and she was gonna open with it tonight. It was called 'Make You Mine', and it was also the name of her single.
She couldn't help but giggle, as she remembered how she met Cole again… It was a regular day, just 8 months ago…
Flashback
Gabriella was silently sipping her latte, while reading her book. She also wrote on some of her lyrics once in awhile, when she suddenly got inspiration. It could come in the middle of a sentence, and then she'd just write it down.
It was 1:30pm on a simple Wednesday afternoon, so not many people were out. Well, people were out, but they didn't really have time to grab a latte, in the middle of the busy Albuquerque street, and that was very okay with Gabriella. She wasn't in the mood for people to come ask for autographs today, because she wanted to enjoy herself. People still came up to her and asked her to write on anything, and she hadn't really been releasing anything since the last single with The Sweethearts, and that was months ago! It was quite unbelievable that people could still be that obsessed.
Gabriella closed her book and placed it on the table. Another chapter was finished. It was nice. She always got so satisfied with herself, when she'd finished a chapter. And then when the book as was all done, she had to pad herself on the shoulder. She grabbed her cup, and sipped her latte for a second, her eyes wandering around the café.
Nothing really was going on. There were two waitresses standing behind the counter, looking bored. And elderly couple was sitting in the other end of the café, and a two young men were talking to each other a few boots away from where she was sitting herself. She let her eyes linger on one of them, as she seemed to remember his face from somewhere. It wasn't really clear in her memory, but something about his features just got to her. Where had she seen him before?
Suddenly, the guy looked up, and their eyes locked. She blushed a bit, and turned her look downwards, to study the table. She bit her lip, not wanting to look up again, even though she could feel his eyes on her. She just kept staring at the table. It was kinda embarrassing, to be caught staring like that. And it really wasn't like her. That was more Sharpay-ish. She always stared at other people, and pointed out all the hot guys, and the beautiful girls. And then she always had a conversation with herself, about which guy on the street, had the cutest butt.
Gabriella sometimes missed her, but the butt-conversations was one thing she was happy to be without. Though, when she felt down, because of everything, it would have been nice to have her blonde friend with her, just to cheer her up.
She curiously looked up, as someone slumped into the seat before. Her eyes landed on the guy again, but she still couldn't remember where she'd seen him before.
"Hey…" he mumbled, shooting her a cute smile.
Gabriella looked behind him, confused, "Where did your friend go?"
"He had to work," the guy shrugged, and studied her face as well, "What have you been up to? Long time no see…"
She swallowed hard, and once again digged through her memory to figure out from where she knew him, but it didn't work very well, "I just…" she pointed at her book, and then the latte, "…I was just reading. Relaxing." She replied.
He arched an eyebrow, and then broke into a wide grin, "You don't remember me, do you?"
"No!" Gabriella whined, happy that he was so calm about it, "I was really trying to figure out where I knew you from, but I just… bah, my mind has gone numb. I lost all communication with my brain, so I couldn't think of where I've seen you."
"Don't worry about it," he said, shaking his head, "My name is Cole, and I think you spoke two words with me." he paused, as she still didn't look like she remembered, "Do you recall people wanting to make a documentary called 'A Year With The Sweethearts' or something along those line?"
"Oh my God!" she exclaimed, excitingly clapping her hands together, "You're the third camera dude!"
"Yuup," he said, "That's me. Cole; third camera dude!"
Gabriella laughed, and he soon joined her. His laugh was really nice, she noticed. And his smile was so bright. His eyes were a great, grey colour, something she rarely saw. Aw, he was cute!
"So yeah…" he finished, as they'd both calmed down, "I heard about The Sweethearts, I'm so sorry."
"It's okay."
"Why did you break up?"
"Eh…" Gabriella swallowed hard, "I can't really say. I only tell people that I know well. Right now, I think a total of maybe ten people know this secret…"
He leaned in closer, their noses almost touching, "…can I be the eleventh?"
"Do you feel like I know you?" Gabriella questioned, not really minding the close contact with him. She felt calmed somehow, she felt… safe.
"Nah…" he trailed off, as he paused to think, "But if I took you out tonight, do you think we could get to know each other better, and then you could tell me?" he suggested, a grin on his face.
"Maybe someday." Gabriella just replied, pulling back from him.
"Oh, 'someday'?" he questioned, using air quotes, as he leaned back in the chair, "'Someday' can be way far ahead in the future… Does that mean that we'll see more to each other than just tonight?"
"It might mean that…" Gabriella trailed off, a twinkle in her eyes. She suddenly felt better again. She felt something she hadn't felt in a very long time. She felt truly… happy.
"Wowsie!" Cole chuckled, "Look at me, Cole; third camera dude, getting a date with Gabriella Montez; former member of The Sweethearts. That's pretty dang good, don't you think? I wonder how I'll show it off to the boys? …can I take a picture!?" he exclaimed, grabbing his cell phone.
Gabriella giggled, and shoved it away, "Stop being so silly!" she laughed.
"Alright…" he mumbled, as he stuffed it into his jacket again, "Where do we meet tonight? Do you have a favourite place?"
"How about the Italian restaurant?" Gabriella asked.
"Great," he said, as he stood up, and gave her one last look, "Be there at 6…"
"Oh," she smiled, as she watched him leave, "Don't worry about it… I will."
End of flashback.
Gabriella smiled happily to herself, as she thought about the date. It had been so wonderful. He really knew how to make a great first date. After eating a great dinner, they'd taken a walk around town, hand in hand, and she had felt more connected to him, than she did with Troy on their first date. That had also assured her, that maybe this was the right guy.
After that, she'd invited him up to her apartment, but he hadn't tried to do anything. She'd just made coffee, and they'd plopped in a movie. They'd talked and watched TV through the night, and when he left around 2:30pm, he'd kissed her goodbye, gently on the lips.
The thought of it, still gave her butterflies in her stomach, and she wanted to be with him forever.
Just then Cole came through the doors, and made his way behind her chair, looking at the magazine cut, above her shoulder. He placed a hand on her shoulder, and lowered his mouth to her ear; "Ready for later, babe?"
She turned her head to the side, and smiled, "I'm so ready."
"I figured out who else is gonna be here…" Cole told her, a weird look in his eyes.
"Really?" Gabriella asked, as she stood up, and grabbed his hand, "Who?"
"Jesse McCartney is going on right before you!" Cole exclaimed, happiness streaming through his eyes, but the happiness soon fainted…
"And who's on after me?" Gabriella questioned.
"Guess?" Cole tried, his smile stiff.
Gabriella thought about it, before suggesting the only name she could think of, "Carrie Underwood?"
"No…" Cole trailed off, as he swallowed hard, "No. Sharpay Evans."
From Stessa; So yeah! That was this chapter! I think we were fairly quick this time, do you not? And did you like how we've cut one year ahead, and made it all in flashbacks? I think it was a great idea, 'cuz it gave us the chance to get everything we wanted in it! And yeah… Please review us! It means the world to us!… and also! Did you like how we called Gabriella's CD for 'G' and Sharpay's CD for 'Headstrong'? Lol x3
From AK-tutti; You are so weird, Stessa. You are almost on the same level of weirdness as me. The year cutting flashback idea was Stessa's and I agreed, because it was a good idea, and it was better than what I had in mind, soo... So next chapter will be all Sharpay, so you can look forward to that, and we hope you liked this chapter, and if you did you better review. If you don't, Stessa'll come after ya! I would myself, but I have it all in my mouth, so yeah.. Anyway, thanks for reading, and again please review. Before I go I'd like to throw in a by the way, so by the way I have two eyes!
Stessa and AK-tutti were here :)
