The Necklace

One Shot

Dedicated to my best friend Kathy also known as my co writer for Young Love XxSpecialK16xX.

The necklace. The one with the thing sliver chain and the pearly white perfect heart yeah I know it, Gabriella Montez owns it. She never told anyone where she got it from or who it was from if it was from someone. But it stayed around her neck everyday until the day she died. And now her daughter wear's it everyday as a reminder of her mother. This is its story.

Gabriella had, had a retentively quiet life until her father had died in a car crash and her mother took them on to Hawaii for a month to grieve on the white sands. It was in Hawaii when she was 13 that she met him Troy Bolton. Troy Bolton who would to be her friend but progress to be her boyfriend and later on her husband and her lover. It was he that fateful summer he who gave her the necklace before she departed from the pure white sands but he too wasn't staying he too was going home. Neither knowing they would meet a three years later in Troy's home town of Albuquerque were Gabriella and her mother would eventually relocated after the fateful tragedy.

Both had turned 14 on the white sands before they entered high school. Troy had just had his in July and Gabriella was to have hers early August.

And as she entered East High for the first time for her senior year three years. The necklace still hung around her neck. As it did everyday since Troy had given it to her. The necklace reminded her of Troy and the summer they had shared those years ago. It made her feel safe and without she felt weird. At night in was her night table ready to worn in the morning and when in the shower it was hung over the end of the radiator. Even when swimming or excising she wore it.

So who the first Gabriella would be so fortunate to bump into that first day known other that Troy Bolton himself. Troy who stood and stared at her in shock for a full two minutes before pulling her towards a smile breaking across his face as did hers. And when he pulled back from the embrace he saw it. The necklace.

"You still have it," he said in awe staring at the present he had gifted her with all those years ago. Still looking perfect as the day he made the purchase.

"Never let go of it," smiled Gabriella "It reminds me of you, it makes me feel safe," she smiled

Troy lifted his hand to neck and slowly pulled up the black cord that was tucked up his shirt. The black chord that Gabriella had given to him when in Hawaii the black cord that held sliver hook charm.

"Why are you so surprised that I still have mine when you still have yours?" asked Gabriella

"I didn't think you'd remember me," shrugged Troy

Gabriella took a step closer to Troy and reached hand out to his cheek "I'd always remember you wildcat," she murmured her hand stroking down his cheek and as it got to his jaw line and threaten to leave his face, his hand reached up and stopped it's tracks trapping it against his skin. And then his mouth leaned down and with a groan he captured Gabriella's lips between his own just as he had wanted to three years ago.

And that is the story of how Gabriella and Troy meant and become Troyella. And eventually the Bolton's. But more importantly the story of how Gabriella Montez got her necklace a gift from a very good friend.
