Gabriella sat on her bed in her room while her dad and Heather shook their head after listening to Gabriella's situtation. She explained to them about everything that has happened the day before with Sharpay and about the things that she has going on today. Troy asked her to meet for a date at Oliver's Place which is the same time Meaghan, Lea and Pauline had organised for the tea party they invited her and her family, including Heather, to. She now looks at her dad's and Heather's face waiting for them to tell her what to do.
Heather: You see? This is the reason why we have to go home fast. Gabriella can never stay away from trouble from one bit without my help.
GM: Well i would protest that but now, it kinda is true.
Mr Montez: I still can't believe you said that to Sharpay. I thought you said you wanted Sparkles to win and beat the other group. Why would you say something so...inappropriate to her? Do i even have to tell you how upset your grandma were when she found out you were kicked out of Sparkles?
GM: I'm guessing no.
Heather: You know what, this is getting out of hand. I'm calling for a emergency private jet to New York asap.
GM: But i can't leave!
Heather: Why not? It's not like you have to fight for something anymore now that you ruined it.
GM: But i don't want to leave. I'm not ready to leave. Heather, please. I'm starting to like this place. Minus the paparazzies chaos and Meaghan, Lea and Pauline being here and all, which speaking off, you two have yet to tell me which to choose.
Mr Montez: (frustrated) Give us a reason why that we should tell you what to do if you are just gonna mess up again.
GM: Because...you guys love me and want me to be happy.
Heather: True but dig deeper.
GM: I don't know. I mean, i thought i could be independent on my own but...i guess i messed up. You guys are the only ones i can talk to right now.
Mr Montez: Well since you want to be independent, you should be independent.
GM: What do you mean?
Mr Montez: You are gonna make your own decisions now on. Me and Heather won't help you even if you beg on your knees. It's your choice whether where you wanna go or what to be in your life. We're done here with you.
And with that, Gabriella's dad left the room.
Heather: (whispers) I'll ask the pilot to get ready just in case.
Gabriella rolled her eyes as Heather left her room. I can be independent. What's so hard about being independent? Every women have independence in them like for example...Audrey Hepburn or even Madonna. She's totally independent after her divorce with Guy Ritchie. Gabriella's head turn to the picture of her mother framed on the vanity. What would mom do? She then remembered the diary her grandmother gave her the other day. She took the diary out from under her pillow and read an entry.

I know i shouldn't be up this late of hour but i couldn't sleep. I kept tossing and turning while Len is busy snoring away. I should really get him something to stop that. Anyways, it's 5 days before my-err-i mean, our wedding day and everything has been very chaotic recently. First of all, i still haven't baked our wedding cake. I know what you're thinking, why didn't i just order it? Well i wanted our wedding cake to be special and personal and i thought it would be a good wedding present to Len since i don't know what to get him. Well a way through a man's heart is through his stomach right? I also still haven't got my hair done. I wanted it to updo my hair but Len insist that he likes my hair down so we'll see.
I also got a call from the flower shop saying that they ran out of the flowers i...i mean we picked for our reception. Len got kinda mad about this because it made me unhappy and he told me he would go to the flower supplier and kick some ass. But i told him not to bother because i know this plave just out of town that we can get better and cheaper flowers and plus i don't want to marry Len when he's behind bars.
My family and relatives notice that we are having budget issues due to the wedding planning and offered some money to help out. I kindly said no to them because i don't want to feel guilty while walking down the aisle while holding a thousand dollar bouquet. I don't really like to ask for help anyways. I like to be independent like Wonderwoman. Len sometimes calls me that when i'm multi tasking.
Speaking of Len, he's starting to toss and turn. I should pretend i'm sleeping now.

Wow. Mom's a strong human. She wished she had that kind of attitude like her mother. She stared at her mom's diary for awhile before making her decision and then got up to get dress.
----------------------------------------------------
It's exactly 12 noon and Gabriella is already sitting anxiously while shaking her foot waiting for her friends to arrive. Her family and Heather changed their minds at the last minute for coming to the tea party so she is all alone. She looked at her watch. 12.01! Where are those-
Lea: We're here!
GM: You're late!
Pauline: Well excuse us. It's takes time for perfection you know.
GM: Well since you're already here, we can order and get this tea party started.
Meaghan: Before we do that, we got a surprise for you.
GM: Really? What?
Pauline: Lea, go get him.
GM: Who's him?
Meaghan: Well Gabriella, we've noticed that you have not been in the dating scene for awhile now and also noticed that you seemed very lonely.
Pauline: So we've did our thing and got you a date with a guy who is coincidently single right now.
Lea: Here he is! (pulls the guy)
GM: Dylan? You guys brought Dylan here? Why?!! You could've brought at least brought Chace Crawford.
Lea: Well Dylan got a guest starring role in Gossip Girl. He's playing the character who is trying to hit on Blair while she's still with Chuck but he is only doing it to get with Serena.
Dylan: Wassup Brie? Long time no see.
GM: (bitterly) There was a reason behind that.
Pauline: Well since your family isn't here, we'll leave you two lovebirds on your date but if you need anything just holler cuz we're not sitting far from you guys.
GM: Before that, i have to go to the kitchen and place my order.
Dylan: Isn't that what waiters are for?
GM: Well i need to talk to the chef myself and tell him what i want exactly. Later.
Gabriella ran inside the kitchen and ran out of the restaurant through the back door and ran to Oliver's Place to have her date with Troy.
I know it's short but it's all the time i got to write in a short period.
Hope you understand. I'll post the next chap soon.
PLEASE REVIEW!!
