A.N. Please, please, please, listen to the song while reading this. It's really sad, I know. But the song makes it all the more beautiful. It's Dancing by Elisa. The song is really long, though it's perfect. Troyella. Yes, I'm a fan. I admit. No, I'm not letting go of Troypay. They're both amazing couples. But this particular one shot is Troyella, because I can realistically imagine Gabriella loving Troy this much. And, yes, my goal was to make people cry, reading this. Please tell me if I did reach my goal. ;-)

Time is gonna take my mindand carry it far away where I can fly

The depth of life will dim the temptation to live for you

If I were to be alone silence would rock my tears

'cause it's all about love and I know better

How life is a waving feather

Gabriella Montez stared at this dark navy book covered with dust in her hands. The once-white pages were beige with age. Her soft fingertips slid down the smooth, glossy page. A teardrop swiftly fell upon the colored picture of a certain someone. His face was shining through the paper; it seemed as if she could reach out and he would be back in her arms. But it was different now. She could still feel his touch, his scent, his warmth. All that he was; all that he made her.

So I put my arms around you around you

And I know that I'll be living soon

My eyes are on you they're on you

And you see that I can't stop shaking

No, I won't step back but I'll look down to hide from your eyes

'cause what I feel is so sweet and I'm scared that even my own breath

Oh could burst it if it were a bubble

And I'd better dream if I have to struggle

Gabriella let out a broken sob, as streams of tears flowed down her porcelain white face. She turned the page, and another picture struck her in the heart. Her tears were the blood from the wound, the pictures and memories were the knife.

They came flashing back; junior year, prom, the summer at Lava Springs, Twinkle Towne, senior prom, wedding day... and funeral. Her sobs and broken tears rang throughout the room. She needed him. Needed his presence, his touch and his comforting voice that always brought her up when she was down.

So I put my arms around you around you

And I hope that I will do no wrong

My eyes are on you they're on you

And I hope that you won't hurt me

She quickly glanced at the shining tungsten on the marble counter. It looked dull in the darkness, and it's blade stood out strongly. Before Gabriella could fathom reaching out for it, she took one last look at the yearbook. His shaggy brown hair still covered his cerulean pools, and his smile still shone as bright as the sun on a hot summer's day. Her face was completely drowned in the salty tears.

Gabriella couldn't take it anymore. The book fell to the floor with a bang, and her hand swooped the blade. She swallowed and brought it up to her neck. The salty drops dribbled off her chin, and the fabric of her top absorbed it. Gabriella took a shaky breath, before letting the blade touch her skin. Her last words rang out in a desperate cry. "I love you, Troy.."

I'm dancing in the room as if I was in the woods with you

No need for anything but music

Music's the reason why I know time still exists

Time still exists

Time still exists

So I put my arms around you around you

And I hope that I will do no wrong

My eyes are on you they're on you

And I hope that you won't hurt me

So I put my arms around you around you

And I hope that I will do no wrong

My eyes are on you they're on you

And I hope that you won't hurt me
