Chapter 18
I was really trying to stay strong...especially in front of Troy. Next was just random stuff. We had a guest performance...and it was Taylor Swift...my favorite...artist ever! Jack, my daddy, Lisa, Andrew, Alison, Allysa, Grant, and my mom chipped in for it.
She got up on stage, "I heard there's a birthday girl! Where is she?" she said in the mic.
I stood up. "Well this is for you..." she said and sang a song, called, my favorite songs, which were The Way I Loved You, Forever and Always, Change, Tell Me Why, You're Not Sorry, Beautiful Eyes, and all of the other songs I loved.
"Well Happy Birthday Gabriella!" she said and got off stage and gave me her autograph and left.
We all ate. "Well toast time!" Taylor said.
I looked at Taylor, "We're going to be hearing her from about 7 of us...or so." Taylor said, "And I'll go first." she said.
"Well...Gabriella I've knowing you for 8 years...and you've been a brilliant friend! I may be older to you....and that's exactly why you're my baby sister practically. You've been there for me...and I love you for that. So...I just wanted to say thanks...and everything! I love you! So...here's to Gabi!" Taylor said, and they all toasted. I got teary eyed.
"And next...will be hearing from Jennifer Davis!" Taylor said sitting down.
Jen laughed, into the mic..."Well...I'm not really that good at these sorta things...but, I do know what I wanna say. So..here I go. Gabi...my sweet 'Brie...first of all I'd like to say thanks! For everything...you've been my friend for 11 years...and you and I are best friends! And you'r the nicest person I've ever met! I love you so much Giggles! You are an amazing girlfriend...and I love you! So...basically I'd to say...Happy Birthday, and thanks...you're the best..and I hope our friendship will stay strong! So...happy birthday!" and they all said happy birthday. And I was bawiling. Jen was my best friend...
"Okay...next we'll be hearing from Grant Davis." Taylor said.
"Okay...well..." Grant coughed, "Gabi...my beautiful girl. You're beautiful and I love you! You're my baby sis...and I'd just wish you grew into a beautiful women! So...I'd just like to say thanks for being in my life...and teaching me right for wrong and...everything. Even if you are younger than me." Everyone laughed, "So...here's to...Gabriella...I don't know!" Grant shrugged. Everyone laughed, "To a great future!" Andrew yelled and they repeated that. I laughed, wiping my tears away.
"Next...will be Andrew Davis...and Alison Davis."
"Gabi...Andrew and I would like to say thanks for being in our lives. And say how beautiful you've grown to be. You've stood strong after all these years." Alison smiled to me, and I bawled.
"Gabriella...my beautiful baby sis...well sort of. I love you so much...and I'm so glad I've been in your life to see you grow up to what you've been now! You're an absolute amazing girl! So..." Andrew paused.
"Here's to...You and You're beautiful life!" they said together and I cried smiling. I loved them so much.
"Next up...Chad Danforth..." Taylor announced.
"Well...I'm not so good at this sorta thing...ever!" Chad chuckled, "So...I'd just wanna say first off Happy Birthday! And thanks for being in my life, and making it so...unique and special! You've taught me plenty of life skills...and I love you Gabster. You're my baby sis...and I just wanted to that I care about you..." Chad said, "So...yeah...here's to you Gabi!" he said. "TO GABI!" everyone shouted.
"And last but not least...Zeke and Jason." Taylor laughed.
"Well first off 'Brie...I'd just like to say thanks for being in my life and happy birthday..." Zeke said.
"Same here Gabi...I love you so much. You've taught me life skills and have always been there for me!" Jason said.
"And...we love you so much...and you're so beautiful!" Zeke added. I laughed and wiped my tears.
"So...here's to...uh...You Gabster..." and that was it. I cracked. And I cried.
"Would you like to say anything Gabi?" Taylor asked me.
I nodded and grabbed the mic. "Okay...well...I'd just like to say thanks to everyone being here. You guys mean a lot to me, and I love you all so much." I said and gave it back to her.
"And..we have one last surprsise." Taylor said.
"What is it?" I asked. Taylor and Chad went over to a covered square-ish thing. And uncovered and I saw a satelite and a camera...and a screen.
"Well...you're parents aren't here...so I decided to get a satelite hook up." Taylor said, and turned it on and there was my dad and mom.
"Hey Bells...there you are!" my dad said.
"My beautiful Sweetheart! I'm sorry we couldn't be there..." my mom said, and I smiled at them with my tears started to fall from my eyes.
"Hi mom and dad!" I said.
"Gabi...I love you so much...you're an amazing little girl!" my mom said.
"Bells...I love you so much...and I'm so proud of everything you've done. And I'm glad you came into your mother and I's lives. I loved seeing you blossoming into the beautiful young lady you are now!" my dad said and I cried.
"I love you guys..." I said smiling.
"We love you too...sorry we couldn't be there hunnie! Have a wonderful 18th birthday! And we love you!" my mom said, "But we gotta go...and we'll bring you our present when we come back! We love you!" my mom and dad blew a kiss and I did the same and that was that.
I cried a little bit. "Well...Gabi...this is you're last performance. Her songs she'll be singing are: You Won-Jennifer Chung, Almost-Jennifer Chung, Very Last Time-Jennifer Chung, White Lies-Jennifer Chuhg....and an original song by Gabriella Montez...You've Lost Me..." Taylor said. (And btw..You've Lost Me...is a song I wrote myself! If you guys could come up with a melody...and play it for me...plz take a vid. Of it and send it to me on my youtube! Or my personal email! Or PM me and do that and ask for email! Please and Thank you!)
I sang the first 3 songs. (LINKS on youtube....just look up jenniferchungmusic and look it up there! ALL RIGHTS GO TO JENNIFER CHUNG!)
Then I sang my song...
"You've seen I've been strong
We both have moved on
We haven't talked in so long
So I've written you this song...
(Chorus)
You've lost me now...
I don't know how
We got to the place that I feared
How did we wind up here?
Nothings broken...it's just done
Now you've seen that I've won...
Now you see....
You've lost me...
This is my good-bye
You've seen I haven't cried
No longer will I try
You gave me a bunch of lies
(Chorus)
You've lost me now...
I don't know how
We got to the place that I feared
How did we wind up here?
Nothings broken...it's just done
Now you've seen that I've won...
Now you see....
You've lost me...
(Bridge:)
We weren't meant to be...
Now you've lost me...
It just wasn't right
The stars never aligned....
(Chorus)
You've lost me now...
I don't know how
We got to the place that I feared
How did we wind up here?
Nothings broken...it's just done
Now you've seen that I've won...
Now you see....
You've lost me...
Whoa...you've lost me now..."
I cried a little bit...and I bowed.
