I apologize for taking so long to get this out. This was my Youtube story, but having no movie maker creates a problem. SO here is Amazed: A Troyella Story. Enjoy!!

Chapter 1: I Promise

Friday, May 30th, 2008/ 10:45 p.m. /Bolton Home

The house was filled with music as all the former wildcats celebrated their recent graduation from their home for the last 4 years. Graduating High school would be the biggest achievement they would receive for the next 4 years. It feels like just yesterday when they all walked into the unfamiliar giant high school as tiny timid freshman and now, they were about to walk into an unfamiliar university as tiny timid college freshman.

"You man, can you believe we finally graduated?" Chad cheered, pretty much bouncing around, his arms around Troy's shoulder. Chad had been waiting for graduation since his first day as a tiny little freshman.

Taylor made her way up to the rapidly growing group and sighed. "Yeah, it's really over." Everyone knew Taylor was sad about leaving everyone for Yale, but we all knew she would achieve great goals.

Zeke walked up to us and placed his arms around both Taylor and Kelsi. "Hey, let's not be all sad now, let's party!"

Chad took Taylors hand while Ryan took Kelsi's and they all headed out to the dance floor in Troy's overly large backyard. Troy stayed behind, exceptionally nervous awaiting a certain girl. Gabriella, right after they congradulated everyone in their class, went off with to get ready for the party. That was 3 hours ago and now her was growing impatient waiting for his amazing girlfriend.

Gabriella slowly edged up the walkway to the all too familiar front door of her amazing boyfriends home. She told him she would be there in an hour, but that was 3 hours ago. He would be irritable for waiting for her, but all she wanted to do was wrap her arms around him and have him hold her in his arms. The past week had been extremely crazy for Gabriella and all she wanted to do was see Troy and get lost in his amazingly blue orbs.

Entering the booming room, she noticed Troy, his back to her, standing in the living room awaiting her, just like she figured. As quietly as she could, she made her way up to Troy and wrapped her arms around him quickly.

He jumped a bit, with the feeling of two small arms wrap around him and he smiled when he realized it was Gabriella. He chuckled and turned to face her. "Hey you! What took you so long?" He asked, reliefe in his tone.

She smiled and swayed side to side. "Just making sure I wore the best outfit." She giggled happy to see Troy again, though it had only been 3 hours. 3 hours way to long.

He gave a small smile and leaned his forehead against hers. "Well, you do know that no matter what, you always look amazing, right?!"

She giggled again. "Aww, Troy! You're such the charmer."

Gabriella's presence always threw Troy off, especially when he looked into her eyes. Since the day he met her, last year on New Years Eve, he always got lost in her eyes.

Gabriella noticed Troy drifting again and she smiled. "Come on, let's dance!" She grabbed Troy's hand and drug him onto the dance floor. "My Life Would Suck Without You" came on so they just kind of danced around. They loved being in each other's presence, especially Gabriella. She just needed to him to hold her. Hopefully she could get as much of this time with him as possible before he runs out on her.

When the song ended, Gabriella saw Tay off to the side and wanted to talk to her. She smiled at Troy and pulled away.

Troy watched her as she smiled at him and made her way over to Tay. He secretly touched the bulge that stuck out of his side pocket and smiled. Tonight would be the night that he would take a big step. Hopefully she would react the way he thought she would. Just as Gabriella made it over to Tay, "Back at One" by Brian McKnight came one.

"Gabriella!!" He runs up to her and smiles. "Can I have this dance?"

As she looks into his eyes, she notices a certain shine and knows he really wants to dance with her to this song. "Sure."

Carefully, Troy takes her hand and leads her back out to the dance floor. She follows with a big grin on her face. She looks back at Tay and shrugs.

They start slow dancing and he keeps his eyes on her. She finds herself tranced in his eyes and just smiles, She lays her head up against his chest. He can't help but sing along.

"One, you're like a dream come true. Two, just wanna be with you. Three cuz it's plain to see that you're the only one for me and 4, repeat steps one through three, five, make you fall in love with me. If ever I believe my work is done, then I start back at one."

Troy leaned over and kissed her head. He heard her sniff and looked over, noticing her crying. "Hey, what's wrong?"

She sniffed and looks deep into those familiar blue eyes. "I love you Wildcat."

He smiled back. "I love you too Gabriella." He took her hand and lead her into the living room. Now was the perfect time to give it to her.

Taylor was dancing with Chad when she had looked over and noticed Troy singing to Gabriella while they danced. She looked over at Chad and smacked his arm.

He looked back confused. "What was that for?!?"

She pretended to be mad. "You never sing for me!"

He just stared back, at a loss for words.

She smiled. "Just kidding." She leans over and gives his a soft kiss.

-------

After having made it into the living room, Troy sat Gabriella down on the couch and took a deep breath.

Gabriella was worried as she looked at him and saw just how nervous he was. "Troy? Is something wrong?" He wasn't about to break up with her was he?

Troy took another deep breath and sighed. "Gabriella. I was thinking about what happened last summer and everything this past year and I wanted to give you something to prove to you that I love you and I always will love you. No matter what happenes!" Carefully, he pulled out the small box that was in his pocket and held it in his hand.

Gabriella was shocked and scared. What could this mpossibly mean? Was he proposing to her? Now? Right after high school graduation? "Troy, what are you doing?"

Slowly, Troy opened the box, revealing a beautiful silver ring with writing along the sides. She carefully pulled it out and read what it said.

"No matter where life takes us, nothing can break us apart."

"I PROMISE to be true to you no matter what happens this summer and throughout college."

Tears started to well up in her eyes as she looked up into his eyes. "I don't understand."

He returns the stare and studders nervously. "I-It-t's a Pro-promise ring."

She smiled with reliefe. Yes, of course she loves Troy, but getting married right now would be a bad idea. "Troy, it's beautiful."

He smiled with relief. "I thought you might like it."

Gabriella leaned over and met his lips and a slow sensual kiss. Gabriella couldn't have been happier at this very moment. "No matter where life takes us, nothing can break us apart" gave her reassurance that everything was going to be ok, and that there was a chance that Troy wouldn't run when she broke the news. She pulled back and stared into his eyes. Neither one broke the gaze as they took in each others presence.

Sharpay walked in and noticed Troy and Gabriella just staring at each other. It sickened her to know that Troy loved Gabriella. No one should love someone like her. It's just not right. She groaned and decided enough was enough. She needed to get Troy by himself. "Um, Troy? Your mom wants you."

Neither one even agnoliged the fact that she was in the room. This pissed her off.

"TROY!!!"

Troy finally heard her voice and groaned, shooting a look at Sharpay. She was ruining the moment. "WHAT?!?"

"Your mom wants you, NOW!"

He rolled his eyes. "Fine, just give me a second."

She rolled her eyes back. Whatever."

He turned his gaze back to Gabriella and gave a sympathetic smile. "I'll be right back. I promise." He smiled again and kissed her one last time before running out of the room leaving Sharpay and Gabriella alone.

Gabriella smiled as she looked back down at the ring.

Sharpay notices the ring and gasps. "Oh my god! Did he…"

"Oh no, GOD no, it's just a promise ring." Sharpay gave Gabriella a look. "I'm serious, he didn't."

"O.k. I believe you." Gabriella sighed internally and awaited an un needed remark from Sharpay. "Soo, we're cool right?"

Gabriella was taken aback by Sharpay's sudden kindness. "Um, sure. Why not!"

Sharpay smiled her devilish smile. "Fabulous! So we should totally hang out some time…oh wait…when do you go back to Stanford?"

"Um, 2 days." Why was Sharpay being nice? It worried her a little bit.

WHAT!! She should be leaving tonight! "Oh, well, we should hang out sometime! Toodles!" Quickly, Sharpay ran out of the room to seek out Troy.

Gabriella just shook her head and looked abck down at the ring. The happiness she did feel when she looked at it was now replaced with worry. Looking over to her side, she noticed Taylor and Chad . Quickly, she made her way over to them.

"Hey girly, what's up?" Tay asked, slightly worried by the expression in Gabriella's face. She glanced down at her hand and noticed the ring. "Oh, I see Troy gave you the ring!"

Chad shot a confused look at Taylor. "You knew about that?!"

Taylor was confused now too. "You! You knew about it too?!"

"He asked me for help!"

The two of them just stared surprised back at eachother.

"He asked me for help too! H said I…"

Chad interrupted Taylor. "…Was the only one who could keep a secret!"

Gabriella watched as her two friends started to laugh. Laughing was the last thing she wanted to do right now. GUYS!!" They both stopped and noticed an even more panicked look on Gabby's face. "Tay, I really need o talk to you!"

Taylor started to worry. "What's wrong?"

Gabriella grabbed Tays hand and drug her into the empty kitchen.

Taylor was extremely nervous now. "Gabby, tell me what's wrong!"

Gabriella sunk down to the floor and started to cry. "Tay, I don't know what to do!"

----

Sharpay needed a plan. This time, her plan would work and things would be back ti the way the should be. She was tired of smiling and pretending everything was o.k. Troy and Gabriella should not be together. It's not how things work.

Walking back out into the back yard, She noticed Ryan and Kelsi dancing and stalked up to them. "RYAN!"

He continued to dance with Kelsi. "What?" By her tone, he could tell that she was up to something.

"I need you to keep an eye on Gabriella."

He sighed. How was he right about all her actions? "Whatever you're up to, count me out. I want to spend the rest of the night here with Kelsi!

Kelsi looked up at him and smiled. "Aww, Ryan!"

Sharpay glared at the two of them. "Just do it!!" She started to walk away.

"Look, Shar, Troy has a girlfriend o.k. That will never change! You need to go out and find your own man! If Troy wanted to be with you he wouldn't be with Gabriella!" He grabbed Kelsi's hand and they both walked away.

Sharpay snarled and spun around only to come face to face with Troy himself. The expression on his face proved that he heard everything that Ryan said.

-----

Tay's eyes shot wide as she continued to stare at Gabriella sitting on the floor. "Oh my god! Are you sure?!"

Gabriella continued to cry as she hugged her knees closer to her body. "I'm sure."
