Gabriella was into her room, sitting in front of her computer, writing and at the same time talking to Taylor with im's. She didn't know if her friend knew about what she was going through and she really didn't want to bother her. Taylor was always there for her helping her, and it was time to care about herself and not Gabriella
In her mind were her two big problems... Troy and her college applications. She really didn't know if she should apply at the colleges she always wanted. Since she was a little girl she and her mother were always moving, and Gabriella never got the chance to make real friends. But now things were different... And her dream of going away in college seemed too painful now... The truth was that she felt terrible about both things. She walked inside and imed Taylor that she had to go. She grabbed one of her favourite books and left the room.
A few minutes later, she was walking outside with a glass of lemonade a book she took from her room and a bunch of college applications. She headed to the back yard and sat on a chair in front of the big wooden table her mother put there. She spent almost half an hour staring at the applications. She sighed and put them away, the Stanford one always on top, since it was her number one choice. She started reading. She needed to get her mind on something else... Travel at an imaginary world where her problems didn't exist...

Elizabeth Bolton was needing some girl to girl advice. So who did she decide to go see? Her brother's girlfriend Gabriella. Elizabeth walked up the walk way to Gabriella's house feeling very awkward. She wondered if she should ring the bell or not. She shifted her feet and finally decided to ring the bell. After a few seconds when no one answered the door, Elizabeth started to walk away.

Gabriella was deep into what she was reading when she heard her sister shouting GAAAAAAAAAAAAABS! THE DOOR!". Gabriella rolled her eyes "Why can't you get it?" Gabriella shouted back, but got up without expecting an answer, since she was sure that Jackie wouldn't answer. She walked around the house to get to the front door and saw Troy's sister leaving "Liz!" she called her name as she got on the front porch

Liz turned hearing Gabriella call her name. She headed to where Gabriella was standing on the porch. " Hey Gabriella. Are you busy right now? " Liz asked her. " If you are , I understand and I'll be on my way. But I need some advice and its about Troy. " Liz said taking a breath after and biting her lip abit.

Gabriella smiled at Liz "No no... It's ok... I was just reading a book at the back yard! Come on!" she said as she got off the front porch and made her way towards the back of the house where she was sitting before... She took her previous seat and nodded to Liz to sit as well... She pointed at the lemonade "Want me to get you some?" she asked smiling "And... What about Troy?" she asked a bot worried

Liz followed Gabriella and sat down next to her. When Gabriella pointed at the lemonade , Liz nodded her head. " Looks delicious. I wouldnt mind some. " Liz said with a smile. " Dont worry its nothing bad. " Liz said sensing and seeing Gabriella's face go into shock . " He's leaving soon. I'll be the only child at home. I'm gonna miss him Gabby." Liz spoke , fighting back tears that were about to come pouring down.

Gabriella smiled and wnet the kitchen form the back door to get Liz a glass... A few seconds later she returned with the glass... She pourred some lemonade into it from the vase, and handed it to Liz GABBY I'M LEAVING! IF MOM ASKS I'M AT THE MALL!" she heard her sister shouting. Gabriella rolled her eyes "What a surprise!" she muttered "OK!" she shouted back and a few seconds later she heard the slamming of the door. She heard what Liz said and let out a small relieved sigh as she took her seat "Well... Not really... University of Albuquerque is... well here!" she said smiling "Unless he decided that he wants to go somewhere else" she said shrugging her shoulders as she took a sip from her lemonade

Liz took a gulp of her glass. Smiling afterwards. " Gabby this lemonade is delicious! " Liz sighed and let the tears come down. " He'll be in a dorm and I dont think he wants to go to U of A. I think he wants to go somewhere else. Far , Far away from me. Thats what he said a couple of days ago. " Liz said with her signature Bolton blue eyes losing their sparkle.

Gabriella smiled "Credit goes to my mom!" she said smiling to Liz... "Even if he is staying in a dorm... He'll be visiting the weekends... And you will be able to visit him during the weekends, well, since it's so close... Plus you will have all of your parents attention!" she said smiling "It's not like it's Stanford... Which is 154 000 miles away from here!" she said still smiling but her insides clenched... "And well... It's his decision if he wants to go away Liz... He must think of his future... He'll miss you too... For sure... But I'm sure that you two will work it out!" she said as she handed her a tissue. Her eyes fell on the letter from Stanford and she sighed. She took the book and put it over the pile of papers, she wouldn't look at them

Liz's smile soon returned. " Tell your mom it was excellent!" Liz listened to Gabriella attentively and nodded her head in agreement. " Thats so true , Gabriella. I never even realized that." She heard Gabriella mention Stanford and nodded . " Stanford is really far away. I never knew that. " Liz wiped her eyes with the tissue Gabriella gave her. " He'll miss me? Thats funny. He wont miss me , he'll miss you. I guess we'll work it out. But he'll miss basketball games and everything. I dont want him to go , Gabriella. " Liz said taking the tissue and wiping her eyes.

Gabriella shook her head "Will do... She'll be glad to know that another Bolton is a fun of her cooking skills... Though your brother prefers the brownies" she said with a small laugh. But at the mention of Stanford she sighed "Yes... It is..." she said hesitantly... She still hadn't talked with Troy about Stanford, butshe knew that she ahd to do it sooner or later... Especially if she got accepted at the eraly admissions program... Which meant that she ahd to leave before graduation "Of course he'll miss you! You ae his little sister! He loves you! she said avoiding to reply to the part about missing her

" Hmm brownies. Troy's never brought any home for me. I'm gonna have to taste them sometime. " Liz said laughing abit. Liz missed Gabriella's being hesistant on the mentioning of Stanford. Liz sighed. " I guess. I'm not so sure about that. I was told I was stupid by him last week and should shut up sometime. "

Gabriella laughed "How could he bring some home? There aren't any left after he visits! And of course my mom spoils him, by making them everytime he is here she said laughing "But don't worry... I'll make sure I save some for you the next time!" she said smiling. When she heard what she said next she couldn't suppress a small frown "He called you stupid?" she asked "Hmmm... I think I'm going to have another talk with Troy!" she said arching an eyebrow

Liz laughed. " Aw thats so cute. Everytime I make brownies, Troy would say there poisonous and buried them in the backyard. " Liz smiled. " You better , save some or I'll never really know how delicious they are. " Liz frowned. " Dont worry about it Gabriella. Its fine. I'm over it. He was probably just under alot of pressure from my dad with school starting and getting in his collage applications for U of A. " Liz didnt want Gabriella and Troy do get into a fight because of her. " Does he really love me , Gabriella? "

Gabriella laughed at what Liz said "Nah he's probably taking them up his tree house and secretly eats them without anyone seeing him!" she said laughing "And it's a promise! Cross my heart swear to die!" she said laughing as she took her glass and took a few more sips from her lemonade "I think it needs a bit more ice" she commented thoughtfully. She got up and headed ie, only to return a while later with ice... She put some in her glass and some in Liz's and took her seat again "Whatever he is going through that doesn't give him an excuse..." she said shrugging her shoulders "And don't worry I won't fight with him" she said winking at her, since she knew that Liz would probably feel guilty or something. At her question she looked at her "Of course he loves you! You are his little sister! He could kill for you!" she said
