It was a long day for Gabriella, Mady was super cranky, Matt would just not leave his mother alone. Gaby had a lot on her mind ever since Chad got drafted into the Celtics, pretty soon he will be on his way to Boston to start his new life. Leaving everything behind.
Gaby pulled into the parking lot at the park, seeing that Chad was already there. Waiting for them at the picnic tables by the swings. Alright guys, we are here! Gabriella said to her children. Mady just looked at her mother and said "I wanna stay in the car.""C'mon sweetie, lets just go play on the playground. Her daughter just sat there with her arms crossed and looked away. "Let's go guys" They all got out of the Suburban and started walking towards Chad.

Although playing on a pro basketball team was Chad's dream, the news came with a bittersweet taste. He knew he would have to move to Boston soon, and he needed to talk to Gabriella. He saw Matt and Maddie coming towards him, and gave them both a big smile. Hey guys! Chad said as he waved to them both. He picked them both up, gave them a hug, and set them down. He then set his eyes on Gabriella, and smiled at her as well. Hey Gabs, he said with a rather joyful tone.

Every time Gabriella saw him she could never help it but smile. Her heart raced, her palms got sweaty. She loved seeing how Chad got along with her kids, the way he holds them she always knew that he cared about them. Which was super important since they never get to see Troy. Hey Chad she said with her sweet smile. How is your day going? she said as she grabbed his hand.

Chad loved seeing Gabriella smile. It made his day better even if it was already a great one. He took her hand and kissed it quickly. My day is going well. I actually just got off the phone with my coach. He just wanted to update me on some practice schedules. He looked at Matt and Maddie who had hurried off to the playground. They just can't resist the park, can they? He waved to the both of them as they raced to see who would slide down the slide first, and then sat at the picnic table with Gabriella.

When Chad started talking about his new practise schedule she kind of looked at her feet, then quickly looked back at her man That is great, hopefully they won't work you too hard she said with a faint smile. They love the park, and I love watching them play. It's not going to last forever, thats for sure. She watched her kids playing on the playground trying to keep her mind off of the fact that today would be one of the last days she saw Chad.

He saw Gabriella's expression change when he mentioned his career. There were pros and cons to leaving, and one of the negatives was that he was leaving Gabriella and the kids. He wished they could come with him, but it wasn't that easy. Time flies... it feels like yesterday that I had just met you that second semester of junior year.. He looked at Gabriella, and put both of his hands on top of hers. ...but unfortunately, we can't stop time. Nothing is going to slow down.

Why do you have to leave me here she said while resting her head on his shoulder. She was so happy he is getting to live his dream as a pro basketball player, but it just sucked that she had to be left behind in the dust. As she rested her head on his shoulder, she started playing with his fingers, trying to picture life without him was impossible.

Chad didn't know how to answer Gabriella. Why is he leaving? He would leave behind his son, Gabriella and her two children, his mother, and all of his friends. Would going to Boston really make him happy if he's leaving everything behind? I... Chad still didn't know how to answer. He looked down at the ground, almost ashamed to look at Gabriella. I just.. this is a dream job for me. It's what I've wanted since I was a little kid.. but even saying that isn't going to make the situation better..

I am so happy that you are living your dreams, I am just so sad that you have to leave. Matthew ran over to Chad and smiled at him, he asked Chad to pick him up. Matthew really looked up to Chad as a friend, a great basketball player, and a father figure. Gaby looked at the two boys as they interacted, a tear started forming in her eye at the thought of how she could possibly loose Chad, and her two children wouldn't have that father figure in their lives anymore.
