A/N I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING! I ONLY OWN THIS PLOT! This is the sequel to "Camp Rock Musical" please read that one first to understand this one.

"NO TROY! COME BACK! DON'T LEAVE ME!"

Troy Bolton was pulled from his peaceful sleep but a scream of sheer terror. Knowing who it was and where it was coming from he rushed into his girlfriend's bedroom to see her crying out in her sleep.

"No, Please, Troy, I'm sorry, I'm, sorry please come back, please."

Troy rushed to her side and shook her gently. "Wake up, Baby girl, it's ok. I'm right here."

Gabriella sat up with a scream. Troy pulled her into his arms. "It's ok. You're safe. I'm right here. I didn't leave."

Gabriella cried into his chest and clung tightly to him.

Ever since their return from Camp Rock Gabriella had been having nightmares of Troy abandoning her like her mother did.

"It was just a bad dream, Baby. I'm right here." Troy soothed. He knew what the dream was about. He didn't have to ask. "You're stuck with me, forever."

"Promise?" Gabriella whimpered.

"I promise." He kissed her gently on the lip and used his thumb to wipe away her tears.

"But what's going to happen next year, Troy? You and I are planning to go to different colleges." Gabriella cried.

"We will make in work, I promise. I'm not going anywhere. I promise."

"I want to come to U of A with you Troy."

"Don't you want to be a lawyer and punish all the bad guys? U of A doesn't have a pre-law program."

"But Stanford is so far."

"Baby, I don't even know for sure that's where I'm going. That's where Chad and my Dad want me to go, but I'm not sure it's what I want."

"Come to Stanford!" Gabriella said, her eyes lighting up like a Christmas tree.

Troy chuckled. "I don't have the grades to get in."

Gabriella pouted. "Why did you have to be so…not smart?" she mumbled.

Troy laughed knowing she was teasing him. He smirked. "Are you calling me dumb?"

"No. I'd never say that."

"I think you did. I think you need to be punished."

"No, I didn't…TROY NO!" She squealed as he started to tickle her.

He chuckled. "Shhh, mom and dad are sleeping." He tickled her stomach, sides, and ribs making her laugh and squirm all over the bed.

"Ok, ok." She giggled pushing him away. "You're smart. You're very smart."

He stopped. "Thank you."

"No, thank you, Troy. You always know how to make me feel better."

"It's my pleasure, Baby girl. Can you go back to sleep?"

Gabriella shrugged. "Can you stay?"

"Of course."

Troy moved into the bed next to her. She cuddled into his side, and he rubbed her back and hummed softly until she fell back to sleep. Troy was glad Gabriella still wanted to go to college. He hadn't told her wanting to go to Stanford was the reason her mom abandon her. It wasn't important, besides if he did she wouldn't want to go anymore and he knew it was important for her to go.

The next morning Gabriella woke up and looked next to her. Troy was gone. She shot up with a gasp thinking he had left her, but then he heard the show running and relaxed. Today was the day she was moving in with the Torres family. She was terrified. She wished she could stay with Troy, but she couldn't.

Once Troy was finished Gabriella jumped in the shower and got ready.

Then after a nice breakfast there was a knock on the door, and Gabriella knew it was Connie. It was time.

Gabriella was happy when they didn't drive too long or far from Troy's house.

The house itself was nice. It was one level and small, but that was just fine with Gabriella.

"Gabriella when we get inside I want you to meet Steve first thing. I think it will be easier for you to adjust that one." Connie said.

Gabriella just nodded. She hadn't spoken a word since they left Troy's, and she wasn't planning on speaking anytime soon.

They entered the house, and Gabriella followed Connie into the kitchen where she saw a large man standing there. He was tall, around the same height as Axel, pretty muscular, just like Axel.

"Steve, Honey, this is Gabriella. Gabriella this is Steve." Connie said.

The man turned to face Gabriella. She knew it wasn't Axel, so why did she suddenly feel like she couldn't breathe?

Steve knelt down to her height and smiled softly, putting his hand out. "Nice to meet you. I've heard wonderful things about you."

Gabriella started shaking.

"It's ok, he won't hurt you," Connie said.

But her voice sounded so far away, the only thing she could hear was her heart pounding inside her chest. Why was she sweating so much? Who put that weight on her chest?

Not knowing what else to do, she did what she always did….she ran back out of the house.

Connie and Steve sighed. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all.
