Decided to update! I have one more day 'till school starts (A.K.A Friday!) Anyway, soo please review! I'm missing all my reviews! Anyway, yeah, thanks guys! And I realize that I was off by one chapter number so it's chapter 31~

Chapter 31

I sat there on my couch eating some mint ice cream, of course my favorite and some root beer. No, it's not the best combination to eat in the world, but they're my two favorite foods in the world! I heard my phone ring. "Hello?" I said with a mouthful of mint ice cream, and I swallowed it.

"Hey!" it was Grant. It had been about a 2 weeks since "Grant" broke up with me. It wasn't fun, but I was still moping around, which I vowed that I wouldn't do anymore.

"Hey Grant!" I said excited to have someone I knew call me. Even though I was still completely heartbroke, I needed to get out.

"Hey, look, I've got a friend who wants to see you." Grant said. I could tell he was probably smiling into the phone. But hey...-wait!

"Grant I don't want to talk to-" Grant cut me off.

"It's not Troy. It's an old friend from high school." Grant laughed, and I sighed in relief.

"Okay...where should I meet you and your friend?" I said, smiling. I was glad to finally get out of the house, getting fat, and moping around because of some stupid idiot. Troy.

"Uhm, actually he's at the house....so you have to come over." Grant chuckled.

"Oh." I nodded. That would mean having to deal with Troy, and seeing him. No. I'm not going to keep moping around and showing Troy that he hurt me. He's a jerk. I have to be strong, and he has no part of me anymore.

"You don't have to if you don't-", this time I cut him off.

"No. I'll go, lemme just put on some clothes and I'll see you in like 5 minutes." I told him, then got up and went upstairs to my room and picked out some cute clothes (some old dark blue jeans and a halter).

"Okay..." he said.

"Yeah, okay bye!" I said happier than I've ever been in the past 2 weeks.

"Hey Gabi?" he said before I pressed the end button on the phone.

"Yeah?" I said.

"Jen misses you, and I miss you. And...well we love you." he chuckled nervously. Grant wasn't always the best at being...forward?

"I miss you guys too. Tell me when Alison's at 8 1/2 months so I can go see her and stay until the baby comes." I smiled, missing the Davis family. Addy, Alison, Andrew, Grant, Jen, and their parents.

"Hey, you know that Andrew beat the shit out of Troy right?" Grant laughed.

"Yeah...I heard, because Alison came over and comforted me and she brought Jen and we watched a bunch of movies and ate popcorn and ice cream." I explained.

"Oh, cool. Well I'll see you soon! Bye G!" he said.

"Bye G!" I laughed, "I mean...well bye Grant!" I laughed again and we both hung up. Click. I smiled at myself and looked in the mirror. It felt good smiling.

I put on my clothes, brushed through my hair and put it up because it was messy, and put on some flip-flops. I grabbed my purse, but on some make up (lip gloss, a light shade of eye shadow and some mascara). I got my keys, locked the house up, got into my car (I went back on got it like a few days later after I left) and drove off to the Davis'.

I got out and immediately was hugged by Jen, Addy, and Alison. "HI!" I heard a small voice and I smiled.

"Hi Ad!" I smiled, picked her up and kissed her on the cheek.

"I miss you!" she said softly. I knew she meant I missed you...but it was still adorable!

"I missed you too Addy." I said and she kissed me.

"We all missed you." Alison smiled. She was getting big.

"So, how are you?" I asked her still staring at her stomach.

"Morning sickness, back is bad, and I'm tired and hungry all the time!" she laughed and shrugged it off.

"Gabi!!!!!!" I heard, and it was Andrew who brought me into a hug, with Addy still in my arms.

"Hey Andrew!" I smiled and hugged him tightly.

"Daddy!!!" Addy yelled, giggling as hard as ever and she grabbed onto his Andrews neck and he held his daughter.

"How are you?" Andrew asked me, smiling widely.

"Brilliant!" I smiled and rubbed my eyes, still sleepy.

"You look sleepy!" Addy giggled as I tickled her after she said that.

The door opened and I saw Grant and Troy...and the girl he'd been cheating me on with. "GRANT!" I screamed and he ran toward me, picked me up and twirled me.

"GABI!" he mimicked me and I laughed like crazy. I haven't talked to any of them, or seen Grant since he walked me home.

"Man, I missed your dork-i-ness!" I laughed and he kissed my forehead.

"Right backatcha!" he laughed and he finally put me down.

"So...Grant. Where's this man your setting me up with????" I said getting excited and completely ignoring Troy and his girlfriend. It like I totally moved on. YAY!

"Hopefully he is f-i-n-e!!" I said laughing and Jen joined in.

"Nooo sexy fine!" Jen laughed.

"Okay enough. Nobody wants to hear this." Andrew laughed and looked at Addy.

"Oops." I giggled, and Jen laughed bustin' a gut.

"He's inside, I'll go get him." he laughed and went inside.

"He is fiiinnee." Jen winked at me, "His name is Jake." she smiled. I've always loved the name Jake on a guy...and normally they are HOT!

Hey! Imma girl! What girl doesn't say a guy is hot?! I heard the front door open and saw Grant...where was the guy? I watched and then he walked forward and it revealed Jake!

He was f-i-n-e! FIINE! He had dark jet black hair, some light old blue jeans and a button on light blue shirt, with brown eyes. He looked at me and smiled, and I smiled back. I felt someone staring at me. Probably Troy. "Hi. I'm Jake." he said walking toward me and holding his hand out.

"Gabriella. But call me Gabi." I smiled at him and shook his hand.

"Nice to meet you." and I smiled.

"You too." he said and I looked around seeing Troy. He was still as...-nope. Not gonna go there. He glared at Jake. Oh well.

"Hey Gabi." Troy said looking at me.

"Hi." I said not paying attention to him, not even glancing at him, still staring at Jake.

"Looks like someone's getting the cold shoulder!" I heard Grant whisper to Jen, and she giggled and nodded.

"How are you?" he said walking up to me.

"Fine thanks." I shrugged, "So, Jake...you live near here?" I asked starting a conversation.

"Yeah, just down the street. My family just move back into the neighborhood. We moved to Arizona for my dad's work and we moved back missing the old New Mexico!" he laughed.

I laughed, "Yeah, I bet." I smiled, he was a really nice guy.

"So your ready for college I hear?" he asked.

"Yeah!" I pumped my fist into the air and Jen and I high-five.

"Me too." he chuckled, "I'm ready to get out of here and head out to UCLA." he shrugged.

"What? Your a senior? I didn't know...well...wait-did you just say UCLA?" I asked confused.

"Yeah, I'm a senior." he chuckled nervously, "and yeah...UCLA. Why?" he said sounding confused like me as he scratched the back of his head.

"I'm going to UCLA!" I laughed.

"Great minds think alike!" he laughed and winked at me.

"Exactly!" I laughed and I felt a burning sensation in the air. Troy was glaring at him still.

"Hey Gabi, did you meet Tiffany?" I heard Troy said. I didn't care. I wasn't the jealous type either.

"Oh, no! I'm so sorry. I'm Gabriella." I said shaking out my hand, smiling.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Tiffany." she said smiling back. She wasn't the slut I thought she was going to be.

"Nice to meet you too." I smiled.

"Hows 'bout we all go out?" Grant smiled.

I'm gonna end it there! Thanks guys! and REVIEW!
