She ran to Troy's house and stopped. She saw him outside playing basketball with his father. He was having so much fun and looked so happy. What kind of girlfriend would she be if she ruined that. She couldn't do that to him. This was going to hurt him too.

Just as she decided to turn around and leave Troy looked up to see her. "Hey, Beautiful come over here." He called.

She shook her head and quickly turned away. She went to run away, but Troy was already by her side.

"Baby, what's wrong?" he cooed.

"Nothing." She cried.

"It must be something because you're crying." He gently turned her to face him and wiped her eyes. "Brie, talk to me, Sweetie, what's going on?"

"I don't want to leave you." She cried.

"So don't, come here." He hugged her to his chest and she clung to him tightly and cried.

Troy rubbed her back and kissed her head. She kept repeating, she didn't want to leave him.

"Baby, why do you keep saying that?"

"Hey, is everything ok?" his father Jack asked.

Troy shrugged. Jack nodded and left, giving them time alone. "Brie, Sweetie, what's wrong?"

Gabriella didn't answer. She relaxed in his arms and stopped crying, just softly sniffling.

"If you don't tell me I'll just have to assume and I'm assuming you're crying because you want me to tickle you some more."

She giggled and buried her face in his chest. "No."

He smiled softly. "What is it?"

"My Mom's company wants her to travel this summer." Gabriella sniffed. She stared at the ground as she spoke. "They are paying for it all, she said it's going to be like a vacation."

"That sounds like fun. How long will you be gone?"

"All summer."

"Oh." Troy said.

"I don't even get to go with her. She's dumping me off at this Camp where I don't know anyone."

"You're such a sweet girl, people will love you."

"You know I have a hard time making friends, Troy. She's just going to leave me some place I don't know, with people I don't know. All the while she's going on this amazing vacation without me. I don't want to leave you!" Gabriella started to cry all over again.

Troy hugged her tightly and rubbed her back. How on earth would they fix this? Troy led her inside and into the kitchen where his parents were. They loved Gabriella as their own, surely they would do something.

"I need help." He told him.

They both looked to Troy, than to the crying girl in his arms.

"Gabriella, Sweetie, what's the matter?" Lucille cooed softly.

"I don't want to leave, Troy." She cried.

"I thought your Mom promised you'd be here until you graduated."

"They aren't moving, Ms. Montez wants to drop Gabriella off at a some Camp where she doesn't know anyone."

"Summer Camp might be fun, I went to summer camp when I was a kid." Jack said. "I loved it."

"Yeah, you went with friends. Gabriella is going alone."

"Why doesn't she just stay with a friend." Lucille said.

"I don't know. But Gabriella really doesn't want to go. Mom, please, you have to help us."

"The only thing I can suggest is calling Maria and see about you staying here."

"Lucille they're dating." Jack said.

"I know. Which is why I need a promise from both of you that there will be no funny business. Troy your bedroom door needs to stay open at all times."

"Mom, I promise. Anything." Troy said.

Gabriella nodded as she started to calm down. She felt better knowing there was a plan.

"OK, I'll go call Maria."

Troy and Gabriella went back into the living room and sat down on the couch.

"Troy, I'm scared." Gabriella whispered.

"Baby, I'm sure everything will be ok." Troy told her. "Even if you can't stay here."

"I don't want to go." She whimpered.

"Hey, you'll do great. You're such a sweet person, people will love you."

"No, they won't."

"Yes, they will. Brie, Sweetie, I promise."

Gabriella sighed and didn't speak.

Troy sighed too. He knew when she stopped talking it was sign she was shutting down. "Gabriella, I know you're scared, but I promise it will all be ok."

"How can you make that promise?"

"Because I'm not letting you go there by yourself. I don't know how but I will find a way to make sure I get to come with you."

"Troy, we both know you can't afford it. Your parents will never let that happen."

"You don't worry about that. Just trust me."

"I do trust you."

"Good."

They shared a kiss and Gabriella snuggled into his arms. Lucille walked out of the Kitchen. She sighed softly. "I'm sorry."

That was all she had to say for both Troy and Gabriella to know, they were going to need another plan. Gabriella whimpered and clung tightly to Troy. He hugged her close and rubbed her back. What were they going to do now?

"Let me go with her." Troy said. "I have no plans this summer anyway."

"Troy we can't afford that. You know that, I'm sorry, but there is nothing else we can do. Honey, it's just Maria is just going to drop Gabriella off and leave. I'm sure Maria will stay and help Gabriella get settled then leave. I know it's scary, but I'm sure it will be a lot of fun." Lucille said.

Gabriella burst into tears and clung to Troy. This was going to be the worst summer ever. Troy hugged her tight and rubbed her back while kissing her head. He had no idea how but he was going to help her through it.

Gabriella and her mom left a few days later. Gabriella shared a tearful goodbye with her friends and an even more tearful emotional goodbye with Troy.

As they pulled into the parking lot of the Camp Gabriella looked around and gulped. Her mom stopped the car behind a bus, at the drop off section.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Get out." Maria said.

"Aren't you coming in, or at least helping me get settled?"

"Honey, you're sixteen. You need to start being more independent. Get out, come on I'm going to miss my flight."

Sighing and fighting back tears Gabriella got out of the car and grabbed her bags. The second she closed the door her mom sped off. Tears slipped down her cheeks, she had never felt so alone in her life. She was surrounded by strangers and people were just running past her and bumping into her not even bothering to say sorry.

She started to shake and breathe heavy, she hadn't even been there for a minute and she was ready to go home.

"Hey, are you ok?" a voice asked.

She jumped out of her skin and turned to the voice.

She saw a beautiful tall girl with dark black hair and beautiful chocolate brown eyes.

Gabrella sniffed softly but didn't speak.

"It's ok, can you tell me what's wrong so I can try and help?"

Still Gabriella didn't speak. It was part of her shutting down when she was scared.

"Is this your first time being at a sleep away camp?"

Gabriella nodded.

"I've been coming here for two years and I love it. You will too. My name is Mitchie, can I ask yours?"

Still too scared to speak, she gently reached around her neck to her name necklace which said Gabriella on it.

"Gabriella, that's a beautiful name. Can I ask what the 'T' next to that is for?"

A few more tears slipped down her cheeks as she thought about Troy. "Troy." She whispered.

"Is Troy your boyfriend?"

A small blush appeared on her cheeks as she nodded. "My best friend." She whispered.

"You miss him, huh?" the girl Mitchie asked.

"Yes."

"Well, I'm sure he wants you to smile and have fun. So how about you come with me and I'll introduce you to some new friends?"

"k." Gabriella whispered. She didn't know what it was, but something around this girl made Gabriella trust her so she followed her.

Gabriella walked into the cabin behind Mitchie.

"Guys, this is Gabriella, she's new to Camp Rock, it's her first time at a sleep away camp so she's a little nervous."

"Awww, it's ok. We're going to have so much fun." A girl said.

"That's Caitlyn, and this is Ella, Peggy, and Tess." Mitchie introduced.

"Hi." Gabriella said shyly.

"It's great to meet you, Gabriella. Would you like to sing in the Opening Jam with us?" Peggy asked.

Gabriella shook her head.

"That's ok, I didn't sing anything for the Opening Jam my first year either. You just hang out with us and do what you're comfortable with." Mitchie said gently.

Gabriella nodded.

"Wow, you surely don't speak much, do you?" Tess asked. "What's wrong with you?"

"Tess!" Mitchie warned.

Gabriella looked petrified. She took a few steps back. "I-I-I-I wan-want Troy." She stuttered fearfully.

"It's ok, Sweetie, ignore Tess." Mitchie said.

Gabriella's breathing picked up. "I…I wan-want Troy."

"Shhh, just breathe, Sweetie, you're safe here."

"Someone is clingy, how old are you anyway?" Tess asked.

Feeling like she was being suffocated Gabriella dropped her bags and ran back outside. Mitchie glared at Tess and ran after Gabriella.
