(Gabrielle's POV)

"Oh my God... YOU GUYS KILLED IT." I grabbed every one of the boyz into a hug as they walked backstage. They had just done their final performance and honestly they seemed to get better each time. Geo came backstage, clapping loudly, a huge smile spread on his face. "You guys did so good!" The boyz cheered, some of them jumping up and down and over each other, making me laugh. "Now that we're done with this... LET'S GO GET SOME FOOD!" Geo said, causing everyone to cheer. I smiled, and walked over to Drea and Chris, who were in the corner kissing. "No kissing!" I said, in a voice that was supposed to sound like Geo's. They both turned and looked at me, and bursted into laughter. "Stop laughing! I was pretending to be Geo." I laughed, and moved in between them. "No Nick means I'm a third wheel." "Great..." Chris groaned, making Drea laugh. We all walked to the bus, and sat in our original spots, me switching with Thomas because there was no way I was putting up with the stuff I did on the last bus ride again. "Hey Gab, Nick wants to know why you're not answering his texts." Thomas said, showing me his phone. "Oh... Shit." I quickly pulled my phone out of my pocket, only to see a dozen texts from him. I unlocked my phone, and smiled at how sweet he was. I have the best boyfriend in the world. I quickly texted him letting him know we were going to eat and then we were heading home. I read his reply and stuffed my phone back in my pocket just as we pulled up to the resturant. It was a nice looking, family owned Italian resturant, and my stomach rumbled from the smell of the food. We all got out, and we got a table. It made me smile, seeing the whole family (minus Nick) together in one place. Outside of dance, none of us are ever really together. Well, all of us, as a group. Our orders were quickly taken, and I sat, talking to Drea about me and Nick's anniversary. "So, four months..." Drea smiled, taking a sip of her Sprite. I smiled, my cheeks getting warm. "Yeah, four months. It feels like so much longer though.." "That's how it always is when someone makes you as happy as Nick does. Do you know what you guys are doing to celebrate?" Drea asked. "We'll probably sit inside, and watch Disney movies together. He knows that's like my favorite thing to do." I smiled. "That's so cute..." Drea laughed. "He's the cute one. Hey, will you come to the bathroom with me? I want to touch up my make up.." I asked. "Sure!" Drea and I both picked up our purses, and began walking towards the bathroom. "Well, well, well, look who's here!" A voice said behind us. I groaned and turned around, only to come face to face with Vinny. "What do you want?" "To eat at this fine resturant. And to talk to you." He smiled, moving closer to me, and taking my hand in his. "Well..." I started, pulling my hand away from him. "Looks like you'll only be getting one of those two things today." And with that, I grabbed Drea, and ran to the bathroom. I groaned, and locked the door. I can't get away from this kid...
