Yesterday was definitely not fun. I had gone to school, but I ended up walking to school because I didn't want to bother Zak with my problems and Troy was too angry to even look at me, let alone give me a ride to school. So, I told Lucille that I wanted to walk because it was nice out and she bought it.

The rest of the day consisted of me being totally isolated. Zak would talk to me a little bit, but then I'd change the subject and then leave it at that and then leave the conversation completely. Luke tried to talk to me also, but I did the same thing. Actually, I rarely talked to Luke. I felt like total crap because every time I was with Luke, Troy was somewhere, staring at us.

I woke up the next morning, my hair was a mess and my eyes were tired and I could feel the bags underneath them because of the crying that I had been doing the night before. I'll be honest, I felt like total crap last night after telling Troy that it would be a good idea if we just took a break. I know he deserves a lot more than that from me, but I think if we take a little space apart then we'll both be able to appreciate what the other brings to our lives. As cheesy as that sounds…

I opened up my blinds and my drapes and let the sunrise shine through my window. "Aah! Much better!" I said, stretching, feeling like I was in some weird Disney movie.

I slipped out of my clothes and then took a nice warm shower. It was nice and it luckily relaxed me from all the constant loud music coming from Troy's room. I felt bad. I really did. Especially since Troy was blasting his music from his room. Why? Because when Troy was upset about anything, he blasts music so it drowns out whatever he's doing (which normally consists of screaming or yelling).

I got out of the shower and decided on some dark washed jeans and a light blue t-shirt with a cammi underneath. Luckily, it was the weekend and I could spend the day moping around the house without getting yelled at. I didn't want to go out and I didn't want to stay in either.

I made my bed and then decided that it would be a good idea to probably get something to eat now, before Troy decided that he needed to as well. I wasn't ready to confront him at all. I mean, how could I? I ended it…sort of and he was angry and I hate getting glares from that boy. One glare from him and it's like you're the worst person he's ever met.

I walked down the stairs, noticing that it was oddly quiet and I couldn't help but wonder, where was everybody? I got to the kitchen, noticing there were two notes. 'Gabriella, Troy, Sam, And Kayla, Jack and I decided that it would be nice if we went out together for a little while. There's food in the fridge for all of you and we'll be back a little late today. –Jack and Lucille'

I sighed. I looked at the other note, 'Gabs-We decided we should let you and Troy work things out without our help. Troy is pretty beat up about all of this so we left. Not like…left, left but…we went out. We'll be back but 'till then, can you just give Troy one last chance? He wouldn't even come out of his room when we came to go check up on him. So, okay…he's a jerk, but you guys should still talk. Without us. So, we'll be back around six. We love you! –Sam and Kayla '

I looked up, and then turned around to see Troy staring at me. How was I supposed to react? What was I supposed to do? Smile? Leave? Go back to what I was doing? "Hey." He said, "Where is everyone?"

"Uh…your mom and dad left and Sam and Kayla decided to leave too." I said, "So it's just us two for the day, unless Zak decides to make a visit." I shrugged.

I hate these awkward moments when you want more than what the other person is giving you, but you don't want to give more to them because you're afraid of what they'll give you back. "Oh." He said, "Okay."

I nodded. I went to the fridge to grab the milk and then went to the cabinet to grab my cereal and then my bowl. Troy did the same and it was just really weird. I didn't know what to do. It was like we were these strangers who were stuck in a house together and we didn't know what to do about it. "So, what are you doing today?" Troy asked, as he sat down at the table and I sat down at the counter top.

"I don't know…" I said, "Maybe go out for a walk." I paused, "You?"

"Go for a run. Then relax in the pool."

It was like the two of us were complete strangers. "Cool." I said, eating the last few bites of my cereal.

"So, um, are you going to hang out with anybody today?"

"Not that I can think of. Maybe Zak, but I don't think I want to deal with Zak right now…"

"And why's that?" he said, looking confused.

"I avoided everybody yesterday at school and they'll probably want to keep asking me why I'm so distant. And…I don't want to lay my problems on everybody. Especially Zak." I said, "And I don't know." I sighed heavily. What am I doing? Why would he want to hear this? Why is he even talking to me?

"Oh." Troy said.

"What about you?" I said, "Anybody you'll be seeing today?" I said, wondering if he was deciding to go talk to some girls or something today…

"Oh. No. Maybe Chad or something." He said, shrugging.

"Oh cool." I nodded my head, "Well, I'll see you later. I'm going to go spend some time in my room. If you need me, you know where I am."

He nodded. I put away my bowl in the dishwasher and zoomed straight passed him and up into my room. I grabbed my laptop and flipped it open and logged on quickly. Please tell me that Kayla and Sam were on!

I looked at the screen and the only person who was online was…Luke. But before I could log out, he sent me a message.

OriginalNewYorker: Hey I know you've been avoiding me and stuff, but I was just wondering…why?

NewYorkGurl17: Reasons that I don't feel need to be discussed.

OriginalNewYorker: Still going to give me the cold shoulder?

NewYorkGurl17: Kind of. Look, I just don't wanna talk. Okay?

OriginalNewYorker: Does it have to do with Troy?

NewYorkGurl17: No. It has to do with me.

OrignalNewYorker: And how you broke up with Troy.

NewYorkGurl17: I didn't break up with Troy.

OriginalNewYorker: Oh, really? Because everyone is saying that Troy said you two broke up.

NewYorkGurl17: But we didn't.

OriginalNewYorker: Does Troy know that?

NewYorkGurl17: Bye Luke.

I rolled my eyes, logging out of messenger and then slamming my head down on my desk. Was it true? Did Troy really tell everyone that the two of us broke up?

I opened my door and noticed that the loud music was beginning to play again. I knocked on his door loudly, hoping that he'd hear. The door swung open and he looked at me strangely, "Yeah?"

"Can we talk?"

"Um, sure." He said, "What about?"

He shut his door and I just backed up so that my back was against the opposite wall, "Um, I heard that you told a few people that…we broke up."

"Gabi…-"

"I don't think you did and I know you wouldn't, but I just want to make sure you wouldn't do that."

"No I wouldn't. Gabi, even though I'm…extremely frustrated with you, I would never do that. You know that I care about you way too much to even say that. I couldn't even admit to myself that we were just on a break. I still can't." he said, looking at me with tense eyes.

I smiled weakly, "I knew that." I said, "And I don't think I can bare the fact that you and I aren't…together technically."

"Neither can I."

"Troy I'm really sorry that I said all those things the other day. I was just so angry with you! I couldn't stand the fact that you were being this totally different person from the guy I knew during summer and I thought a break would be a great idea. And I guess it wasn't…"

"Gabi…it's okay. We're both sorry and I promise, I won't do any of that again. Well, okay scratch what I just said. I can't promise anything, because if I break those promises to you, I won't be able to live with myself. But I can promise you that I never truly, intentionally meant to hurt you. I do care about you and I do love you."

I smiled, "I love you too."

I walked towards Troy and brought my face towards him. He smiled, then brought his hands to my face and brushed his lips against mine. If it was possible, I was smiling. "So does this mean we're okay now?" Troy smiled at me.

"We're more than okay." I smiled, kissing him once more.

…

Troy and I were in the basement watching 'Letters To Juliet' because we were both extremely bored and we decided that it was a good movie for the mood. "WE'RE HOME!" I heard a familiar male voice coming from upstairs.

"I guess Sam and Kayla are home." Troy chuckled, and I smiled, kissing him on the cheek.

"Hey!" I said, as I ran up the stairs, opening the door.

"Hey! How'd things go here?" Sam asked, hugging me.

"We did fine." Troy spoke, as he wrapped his arm around my waist protectively, "What about you guys?"

"We had fun. We went to the park and we went out to eat. It was nice." Kayla smiled, hugging Sam tightly.

"So, I take it you two made up?" Sam laughed, as Troy was kissing my cheek and neck.

"Stop it!" I giggled, pushing Troy away, "Yeah…" I giggled once more, "We did."

"Good to hear." Sam smiled, winking at me, "C'mon Kayla, let's go."

"But we just got home! And we're leaving tomorrow!" Kayla pleaded, looking at Sam with her puppy face and then back at me.

"Aw c'mon Sam. It's not like I don't see Troy every single day." I laughed.

"Hey!" Troy said, sounding offended.

"Hey yourself! It's not like I don't mind seeing you every single day. But…I just want to spend time with my two best friends before they leave." I said, nudging Troy playfully.

"Fine. I'll just have you all to myself later." He smiled mischievously, "What do you guys want to do?"

Okay so that was a little short and I'm sorry. I decided since I'm on this weird 'snow day' thing, I thought I should write. I've been trying to write this chapter but I never have time. I know I owe you guys and I will try and update a lot more once it's summer, but I can't promise that either. I don't even know whether or not I'll be home during the summer.

Hay its mar-ay: Well I'm glad you liked it and I hoped this chapter didn't disappoint either. Thanks for reviewing!

iHeartChannyZanessaCailey: Well I'm glad you like the story and that's so very nice of you to say I'm a talented writer, when really, there are several others who are better than me! Thank you so much for understanding and it means a lot! Thanks for taking your time to review!

x-TammieBaybii-x: We do have to catch up but it seems to me like that'll never happen. You are never on and when you are on, I'm sure I'm not on. Oh well! I'm glad you liked the last chapter and I'm definitely going to try and update a little bit more. Thanks for reviewing, as always!

Teamedwardakazanessarules101: I'm glad you liked it! Thanks so much for reviewing!

Sara: well…this chapter didn't have much drama but I'm planning on making this a little bit bigger when it comes to drama. Thanks for reviewing!

ImABelieber: Well I'm so flattered by your review! First off, thank you so much for understanding about the updating thing, but to be honest, I feel horrible for not updating and I try as hard as I can to update more. And by the way, I love Zak too! ;) anyways, thanks so much for your very sweet review!

Zac is my life: Hahahahaha. Well sleep is definitely important! But then again, I still don't get enough of it. I mean, I'll stay up till 12am during the weekdays and then wake up super-duper early for school, but then during weekends, I'll end up falling asleep at like seven and then waking up at like ten! (And I still don't know why we have been talking about sleep for the last few chapters. But oh well! It's a fun topic!) I'm glad you liked the previous chapter and hopefully you'll this chapter just as much. To be honest, I feel like I'm losing my writing mojo. Thanks for your review though!

XxBabiiGurlxX: Glad you liked it. Thanks for the review.
