Hey guys…I know you guys are probably wanting to take me by the neck and then hang me because I have not been updating at all. But I have been so busy with testing the last week and then I've been trying to keep my head on straight. I've been in this really 'depressed' and 'down' mood and if you knew me, you know if I don't fix it, I go to extremes when I'm upset. I know you guys want me to update a lot more, but I can't do that unless I'm not giving you guys my 100 percent and it seems to me like I haven't been doing that at all lately. Most people are just giving up on me and I apologize, but I promise that I will try harder to write better. I can't promise I'll update more, because I'm kind of rushed on time almost ALL THE TIME. But hopefully you guys will forgive me and by the summer, I'll have a lot more time on my hands. Once again, I apologize, and I'd like to thank the people who understand. Lots of love!

I stared at Troy, smiling. How could I have gotten so lucky? Okay, sure he was a pain the butt sometimes, but when he was at his best, he was at his best. "Well?" he said, staring Kayla and Sam.

The both shrugged, "Well, no offense to you and your town, Troy, but this town is kind of…boring. There's nothing exciting. At least when you all came to you New York we had places to go and things to see." Kayla said, giving him a weak smile.

"Well ouch!" Troy said, putting his hand over his hand, pretending to be hurt by the harsh comment.

"I hate to say it," I said, "But she is right."

"You too?" Troy said, acting shocked, "Double ouch!"

"I guess that makes three then?" Sam laughed, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Well you guys don't deserve to stay here then!" Troy scoffed, "Sheesh! This town is amazing and if you don't appreciate it, then…then…I guess you guys should just leave now!"

I rolled my eyes, wrapping my arms tightly around his waist, "So that includes me?"

"No. You can stay here and suffer along with me." he winked.

I laughed, "Okay, enough with the joking around. What should we do?"

"Well…" Troy sighed, "We could, stay here and watch movies, go out and see a movie, walk around and talk, swim in the back, get together with the rest of the gang and bowl or something, go out and eat, or just stay here and do absolutely nothing."

I looked at Kayla and Sam, who were staring at each other all lovey-dovey. "Well, I think they should choose because they are the guests but it seems to me, like they would rather stay here and stare at each other for the rest of the night." I murmured to Troy who chuckled at my comment.

"I heard that." Kayla said, still staring at Sam.

"Oh gag me." I said, rolling my eyes, "It's true. Do you guys want to just stay in?" I said, feeling tired anyways.

"I like that idea." Sam said, "What about you, Troy?"

"I don't see why not." He shrugged.

"Then let's do it! I'll get a movie and you guys can grab some snacks and make popcorn." Sam said, grabbing Kayla by the forearm and dragging her downstairs, to the basement.

. . . . . . .

We got to the airport and I couldn't help but think, 'When will be the next time I will see these two?' Sure, there would be graduation, but graduation is months from now. The whole ride here was silent as well, the whole time, the radio was on, but we were all staring out a window, like we were complete strangers.

Lucille and Jack got the bags from the trunk and we began walking toward the entrance of the airport, still completely silent. "Gabs?" Troy whispered.

I looked at him, "Yeah?"

"You okay?"

I pressed my lips together and shrugged, "Sure?" I offered, staring off into the distance.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"I'm not sure. I'm content, I guess."

"You don't seem content. You seem, sad."

I laughed lightly, "Of course I'm sad. I'm going to miss Sam and Kayla. I have known them for way too long and now I won't see them in a long time. What's worse, is that when I do see them, it'll be at graduation, but what will happen then? Will I go see them graduate and then stay there, so I can get back to New York, or do I stay here and graduate while they visit me and would that be fair?" I sighed, getting all my frustration out.

"Gabs, we'll find out when we get there."

"I don't want to find out when we get there, Troy. I want to make sure that this isn't just some weird fling and if it isn't, then what are we going to do about it."

"Well then we'll talk about it, Gabs. I know for sure, that this isn't a fling. But right now, I don't want you to stress about it, when we're trying to make sure we say goodbye to Sam and Kayla properly. Okay?" Troy grabbed my hand and held it tightly, "Everything will be okay in the end, and if it's not, then it's not the end." He smiled at me, quoting one of my favorite quotes.

I smiled, continuing to walk into the airport, watching Sam and Kayla walking hand in hand in front of us.

"Thanks Troy." I whispered, "I'm just…freaking out."

"It's okay. It's cute when you freak out." He laughed, winking.

. . . . .

"Well I guess this is it." Sam said, staring at me and then Troy.

I nodded, looking down at my feet. This was probably the most awkward way of saying goodbye to these two. I didn't understand why they were acting weird and why I was acting weird. It's not like we were acting weird about saying goodbye before.

I couldn't say anything. It was like, if I said bye, then it would be true. "I'll miss you guys." Troy said, "You guys are so…well…amazing. I'm glad I got to meet you and well, I know I'll see you guys again." He said, trying to make sure that the awkwardness didn't keep building.

"Aw, Troy." Kayla smiled, "You are such an amazing guy."

"Ahem."

Kayla rolled her eyes, "Well you are too, Sam, but I see you all the time. Anyways, Troy, Lucille, and Jack, thank you so much for taking us in and letting us stay in your home. I know I'm speaking for both of us, when I say we had a great time. We will miss you a lot but like Troy said, we'll see each other again." She said, hugging Lucille and Jack.

"It was our pleasure." Lucille smiled, "You two are welcome, at any time."

"I hope you guys come back soon." Jack nodded, "It was great having you both."

"Well thanks again!"

"Of course." Lucille smiled, "Anyways, we're going to leave you guys and Jack and I will go get the car ready, okay? It was great seeing you guys and I hope you come back soon. Have a nice flight!"

"Thanks Lucille." Kayla said, "Bye!"

Lucille and Jack both waved as they walked away. I looked at Troy and he gave me a comforting smile. I looked down at the floor and I honestly, didn't know what to say to them. "I hate this." Kayla said, groaning, "Why can't we just say bye? I mean…c'mon!"

I laughed a little, knowing that I should have known that Kayla was going to say that. Kayla was always so front-forward and she would say how she felt. She hated when things got weird between people. "Gabi?"

I looked up and weakly smiled at her.

"I'll miss you sweetie. I love you so much and I don't want you to stress about everything. You'll do fine here and we'll talk, just like before. We'll see each other again and even if you don't come back this summer, it'll be okay. We'll talk and keep in touch. Stop worrying about it. Sure, it's not fair, but that doesn't mean anything. Life isn't fair and you need to get through your head. If you don't come home, then that's okay. I'll see you another time. If you do, then great, but we'll also figure out everything else. I'll miss you so much and I'll hate myself if I don't get out everything I have on my mind." She said.

I felt tears fill my eyes, feeling like I was make a huge deal about something so small. "It's okay Kay. I'm just stressed about stuff. I love you too and I know it'll be okay, I'm just worried that if I don't see you again, or Sam, then I'll feel like I'm taking you guys for granted and leaving you behind for what I found here. But I don't Troy to feel like that either and-"

"Oh both of you, just shut up." Sam said.

Kayla and I went wide eyed. Sam never spoke to us like that.

"We will all be okay. Okay? We'll make it through this, we will see each other again, we will talk to each other and keep in touch. Gabriella and Troy will get through this as well and we need to stop stressing about this. Let's live now instead of the future. The future is scary." Sam said, sighing heavily, "Let's just stop with all the sad, depressing 'what if's.' I love you both, but sometimes I just want to smack the life out of you because you guys stress yourselves out."

I stared at Sam and he finally smiled. "Sorry." He chuckled nervously.

I ran to him and hugged him tightly, "I'll miss you so much."

"Me too sweetie." Sam said, hugging me back, "But hey, our goodbyes aren't forever."

"Exactly." Kayla smiled.

I parted from Sam and then looked at Kayla, "I'll see you later. Okay?" I said, not wanting to say bye.

"Deal. I'll see you then." She smiled, hugging me tightly.

I looked over my shoulder and saw Troy, saying bye to Sam. "It was great seeing you again, man." Troy said, giving him a man hug.

"You too, Troy. Watch out for our Gabi here. She's a little trouble-maker."

"Of course." He smiled, "Have a good flight."

"We will. And we'll call you when we arrive back home." Sam said.

I smiled at Kayla one last time, "See you."

She smiled and nodded, then grabbed Sam, "See ya Troy. You be nice to our Gabi."

"I will." He smiled.

Zac is my life: Well, usually I do. Unless I'm…like upset or something. I don't get sleep either. It's like you said, you stay awake all night and then wake up early in the morning for weekdays but then you can go to sleep really early on like a weekend and then wake up super easily, or sleep in late. It's annoying! And thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it…because I thought it was decent. I thought this one was a lot better. Hopefully, you agree! Thanks for reviewing!
