Author's Note: Hey guys, I'm back! Kind of, I guess. And I guess you could also call this my "coming back out to the writing world" huh? Well, guys I know I've been away for a long time, but for very serious reasons and personal matter, I will divulge that I am truly sorry because I've had this written for a couple days but my health has not been up to par and I fear that my writing has not been up to par either, but I will leave that for you all decide. Enjoy, please.


"America's Next First Family 2: America's Sweetheart's Engagement"

Chapter Thirty-two

"I just don't understand why you have to leave now. You know I'm happy for you and I want this for you, but Troy..." the beautiful girl told the male before her as she stood in a blue plaid, Hollister shirt that was tied in the front revealing the top of her light blue, destroyed, skinny jeans that were both paired with a pair of grey, sweater, UGGs.

"Baby Brie, we knew this would happen when I signed the contract. You know how hard I've worked for this," the equally beautiful man dressed in a black, short sleeved, T-shirt and dark blue jeans with blue CONVERSES, told the woman before him. Seeing her forlorn look, he looped his thumbs into her front pant loops and pulled her into his arms as he leaned against the black SUV waiting for him. As the driver loaded his luggage, he held her tightly while placing kisses on the top of her head."I love you, Brie, I will always love you, but I have to do this, we both know it. I've got to go."

Gabriella pulled her head back to look at him before closing her eyes as he kissed her forehead as tears leaked from her beautiful eyes and his hand tucked some of long, straight black locks behind her ears before he placed another kiss on her forehead and pulled away from her. Getting into the car, he let it drive off, leaving a teary eyed, broken-hearted girl in his wake.

Ever since the day you went away and left me lonely and cold

My life just hasn't been the same ohh, baby noo

When I looked into your eyes the moment that I let you go

I just broke down (down)

Baby if I ever get the chance to be with you again

I would sacrifice

'Cause the feeling that I feel within

No other man would ever make me feel so right

It's nice to smile when I get your phone call at night

But I'd rather have you hear with me, right next to me

I miss the way you hold me tight

An iPhone laid on the turned down California King bed as a lithe figure came into the picture with a towel wrapped around her body and another one on her head to dry her dark tresses. Seeing the phone, light up with a picture of happy couple, the girl jumped onto the bed and smiled at the voice that greeted her as she picked up the incoming call.

I gotta let you know I feel so weak without your touch

I never thought that I could ever love a man so much

For you I'd cross the world, for you I'd do anything

Laying in bed even later that same night, the girl hugged a pillow to her chest as she cried while the dogs of the home laid around her, protecting her and trying to comfort her while they too missed the reason for the young lady's tears and heartache.

That's right baby

I'm going crazy

I need to be your lady

I've been thiking lately

That you and me, yes we can make it

Just ride with me, roll with me I'm in love with you baby

Dressed in a pair of dark, destroyed capri pants, a black peekaboo cut-out bralet top under her official Lakers jacket, Gabriella continued walking along UCLA's campus with her Louis Vuitton backpack slung over her shoulder, belly button ring and chain on display, and her iPhone in her hand, awaiting a certain call or text from a certain someone. Behind her sunglasses, her red puffy eyes were hidden from the outside world as her best friends approached her to walk along with her as they continued on to the same unknown destination.

That's right baby I'm going crazy

I need to be your lady

I've been thinking lately

That you and me, yes we can make it

Just ride with me, roll with me I'm in love with you baby

Their destination had led them to sit underneath a cherry blossom tree, much like it did in high school. Around her she watched as her friend's laughed, talked, and just lived while their world kept going on. She didn't even have the strength to put on a fake smile for her best friend, who smiled at her before pulling her into a hug, letting the brunette cry into her shoulder while hoping the said's girls love would return home soon.

Break it down now I'll tell you what I feel

From the moment that I met you it's been so damn real

My heart seems to skip another beat

Every time we speak, I can't believe I feel so weak

Tell me that you really need me and you want me and you miss me

And you love me I'm your lady

I'll be around waiting for you I'll put it down be the woman for you

Pulling up the house they shared, Gabriella sighed and looked at the house before resting her head back on the head rest of the driver's seat. Taking a deep breath, she pulled the keys out of the ignition and grabbed her back pack from the front seat and her iPhone before she got out of the vehicle and headed towards the house, ready for another lonely night with their "babies".

I'm falling so deep for you crazy over for you

I'm calling, calling out to you what am I going to do?

It's true, no fronting

It's you and no other I can no longer go on without you

I'll just break down (down)

Walking into her bedroom she set her backpack down and tore off her jacket before making her way towards the bathroom. On the way to her destination, her purple and black, ribboned, Christian Louboutin shoes were toed off and her jeans started to slip down her hips to reveal the top of her lace panties before the door was closed.

I gotta let you know I feel so weak without your touch

I never thought that I could ever love a man so much

I gotta let you know I think that we are destiny

For you I'd cross the world, for you I'd do anything

The girl dressed in her sleepwear, red short shorts, white fuzzy slipper boots, and a huge white Wildcat hoodie with 14 on the front of it, bent down to pick up the smallest of the "babies", the black Toy Poodle, before heading downstairs the other three "babies" following their mistress.

That's right baby I'm going cray

I need to be our lady

I've been thinking lately

That you and me, yes we can make it

Just ride with me, roll with me I'm in love with you baby

Pulling her hair into a messy bun onto the top of her head, she made sure she had her cell phone, the house phone, glass of Mountain Dew, and remote with her before she curled up on the couch with her "babies". With a sigh, America's Sweetheart turned on the TV and flipped through channels until she found the one she wanted, only to get a surprise on it.

"I'm sitting down with Lakers hotshot, Troy Bolton before the big game against the San Antonio Spurs, after the other big game in NYC against the Knicks" a reporter asked, "How's everything going so far?"

"Everything's going awesome, man," Troy, dressed in his Lakers warm-up gear, replied with a smile and a chuckle "We won the big game in NYC, and we're hoping to do the same thing here tonight. Keep up that semi-streak we having going on right now you know?"

"Yeah, that's definitely the good side of things," the reporter replied, "Now what are some of the downsides?"

"Well personally for me, I have to say that hardest thing about being in the NBA and on the road for games, is being away from my girl back home," Troy told the reporter before looking right at the TV and saying, "Gabriella, if you're watching this now, and I hope you are, I just want you to know I'll be home soon. Don't worry about that, Baby Brie, I love you and I'll call you later tonight. Wish me luck."

Ohhh, ohhh...

Crazy...lady...lately...

Ohhh, ohhhh...

Ohhhhh, ohhhhhh, ohhhhhh

Baby...
