~Six months after Troy and Gabriella got married~
Gabriella had just arrived home from the hospital. It was a pretty busy day and she was exhausted. She decided to come home earlier than usual to get away from the hectic building. She dropped her bags on the side table in the hallway and walked in the kitchen. In the kitchen Gabriella saw Troy standing over the stove stirring a pot of who knows what. Gabriella smiled before walking over to him and wrapping her arms around his waist and placing them on his torso.
"What are you doing, babe?" Gabriella asked.
"What are you doing home so early?" Troy asked, disappointed.
"Oh, did I ruin something?" Gabriella questioned nervously and then glanced down to see that Troy was wearing a button-shirt and some slacks. It was a bit dressier than what he usually wore.
"Well, do you know what today is?" Troy questioned back with a smirk as he turned off the stove and faced her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her body closer to hers.
"Uh, Tuesday?" Gabriella answered and then thought for a few seconds. It wasn't her birthday and it wasn't Troy's birthday either.
"Think harder, baby," Troy motivated. A light bulb then went off in Gabriella's head, as she found out what today was.
"It's our three month anniversary, isn't it?" Gabriella answered as Troy nodded his head.
"I can't believe you remembered?" Gabriella added, shocked.
"Why wouldn't I remember? It was the day we got married, and I'll always remember that," Troy replied as Gabriella smiled up at him.
"You're so cheesy," Gabriella teased as Troy smiled down at her. He then captured her lips with his and pulled back.
"You know you love it," Troy added as Gabriella giggled.
"I love you," Gabriella said as she looked deep into Troy's baby blue eyes. Troy then looked back into her eyes.
"I love you, too," Troy replied as he kissed Gabriella, once again. Troy then threw Gabriella over his shoulder and carried her upstairs. Gabriella squealed when Troy picked her up and then saw that Troy was carrying her upstairs.
"Where are you taking me?" Gabriella questioned as Troy smirked.
"Like you don't know," Troy added as he took Gabriella to their bedroom and locked the door.
That night was the most memorable night of Gabriella's life, but four months later it all changed.
~Seven months after Troy and Gabriella got married~
Gabriella had just arrived back home from work. She parked her car in the driveway and then went inside her house. She walked into the kitchen and set her bag on the counter. She then heard a typing noise coming from Troy's office and walked towards it. She peeked inside to see Troy on his computer typing. He didn't even notice Gabriella was staring at him, he was so memorized into his computer. There was a few seconds of silence until Gabriella decided to speak up.
"Hey, Troy," Gabriella greeted as she stepped into the office. Troy didn't even look up at her, he just kept typing.
"Hi," Troy muttered under his breath.
"So, how was you day?" Gabriella asked, awkwardly.
"Good," Troy mumbled as he kept on typing. Gabriella then sighed at her husband's one-word response.
"Okay, well I'll just go and start on dinner now," Gabriella announced as she left the room. She then looked back to find that Troy was still in the same position. Gabriella then felt her eyes start to water up. He didn't even remember their seven month anniversary.
That was the start of Gabriella's new life with Troy. Everyday he would come home and either goes to his office and work or goes to the living room and watch basketball. Gabriella was the only one willing to talk but other than that, there was no conversation ever.
Will Troy ever realize that he never pays attention to his wife anymore?
Will Gabriella have the guts to tell troy how she really feels about her life with him?
