Love Never Dies
Chapter 1 – Sad Memories & Party Preparations
Gabriella sat on her soft, feather bed, her mind racing at what was to come that night. She watched as her three best friends, Taylor McKessie, Kelsi Neilson and Sharpay Evans dug through her closet, clothes being thrown across the room landing in every available place on the floor. Tonight was Chad's 21st birthday and the four of them had been asked by Chad's parents if they would like to come along and surprise him, seeing as they hadn't really spoken for 3 years, since Chad had gone of to university in LA on a basketball scholarship, just like the rest of the boys. Taylor was more than happy to agree at the chance to see her high school sweetheart again and as much as Gabriella was happy and excited to go, there was one blue eyed, brown haired boy she was in doubt about seeing again…Troy Bolton.
Gabriella's POV
"Guys, could you please stop throwing my stuff around the room. I would like to be able to see my floor!" I said, starting to pick up the discarded clothing. Why weren't they at home getting ready! Instead they are here making my room a mess!
"Don't you want an outfit that will blow Mr Lunkhead basketball boy's mind?" Taylor asked, smirking at me as she looked through my shoe collection, picking up a light blue pair of stilettos and examining them.
"No Taylor, I do not care what a certain basketball player thinks of my outfit. I just wanna go to this party and see Chad and the others again." I replied sighing as fell back onto the bed.
"Admit it Gab's, you still have feelings for Troy." Kelsi asked softly as she came and sat on the bed next to me. I sat up and looked at her. Anger and hurt welling up inside of me as she spoke.
"No I do not!" I answered back, the spite evident in my voice. "I don't have feelings for Troy Bolton anymore and I never will again!"
"Hmmm…"Kelsi replied and walked back to where Sharpay was stood at my closet. As much as I didn't want to think about him, now the topic has been brought up, I couldn't push it from my mind. The day my life came crashing down was again clear in my mind.
Flashback
It was the last day of the school year, the day 18 year old Gabriella Montez and her friends had graduated high school. Gabriella and her friends Taylor, Sharpey, Kelsi, Jason, Ryan, Chad, Zeke and of course Troy were sat outside in the warm summer sun, thinking back on the last few, amazing years.
"I can't believe we have graduated from high school! It just hasn't sunk in yet!" Chad said from his position under the big oak tree next to Taylor. Everyone was sat in their couples. Chad and Taylor, Zeke and Sharpay, Kelsi and Jason, Ryan and Sarah, a friend of theirs from the scholastic decathlon team and Troy and Gabriella. They had all become so close during these last few years and that showed from the way people from all these very different cliques had been brought together.
"I know it's so weird isn't it? Kelsi replied sighing. "I wonder what it will be like for us all now we have graduated."
To be honest, no one had thought about the future of them all till then and it started to worry them at the fact they would all be going to different universities and wouldn't get to see each other every day.
"Hey...umm…Gabi?" Troy asked.
"Yeah Troy?" Gabriella replied, turning to look at Troy. Her chocolate brown eyes meeting his bright blue ones.
"Can I talk to you in private please?" He asked, shifting slightly ready to get up off the grass. Gabriella nodded and followed him away from the group to a small clearing among the trees.
"I wonder what's up with Troy." Kelsi asked. The rest of the gang shrugged.
"I dunno. He's been kind of distant all day" Zeke replied as the gang started to wonder what could be wrong.
"So Troy what's up?" Gabriella asked, sitting down on the bench next to him. Gabriella could see in his eyes something was bothering him. "Please Troy, tell me what's wrong"
"Okay Gabi." Troy said. Taking a deep breath he continued. "I don't think we should see each other any more"
Tears came to Gabriella's eyes as she listened to what he was saying. What could have caused him to say this? They were perfect for each other.
"W…w…what?" Gabriella whispered her voice hoarse from trying to stop herself from breaking down. She could feel her heart breaking in two as she spoke.
"I just think since we are going to be away from each other for so long, I and probably you don't want to be tied down and worrying what the other is doing. We want to be free to date who we like." Troy said as if it was the simplest thing in the world. He must have been blind not to see how much Gabriella was hurting.
"Have you no heart?" Gabriella whispered as a tear fell down her face. "You obviously never cared for me if you can't commit to this relationship and don't want to try and keep it! I HATE YOU TROY BOLTON!" Gabriella finished as she ran off as hot tears cascaded down her face. She ran straight home, to her bedroom and cried her heart and soul into the teddy bear Troy had given her for her 18th birthday.
End Flashback
Gabriella's POV
A tear rolled down my cheek as I thought back to that day. It took me ages to forget about 'him' but thanks to my amazing friends it was a lot easier. As much as I didn't want to admit it, I did still have feelings for Troy and I knew they would probably never go away.
"Hey Gabs, you ok?" Taylor asked, upon seeing my tear stained cheeks. I wiped my eyes with the back of my hand and smiled and her, trying to prevent my voice from being shaky.
"Yeah, I'm fine" She pulled a 'hmm, I don't think so face at me' and then got back to work with the rest of my shoes.
Next one will be up tomorrow probably xx
