Gabriella leaned against the wall of the church, a boquet of white flowers in her hands. she sighed running her hand through her hair. "Well, isn't that my beautiful girlfriend?" Gabriella looked at Troy and smiled, "Hey." she wrapped her arms around him, and pecked his lips, she leaned her forehead against his, "Thank you so much for being here.. I don't think I could of done this without you."
He nodded, "I know. with you're mom being remarried and all-" "It's not that. she's remarried to a creep, I just I don't know." Troy smiled, leaning forward to capture her lips in a passionate kiss, and whispering between the kiss, "I love you." she smiled, "I love you too."
Our Little Secret
Gabriella jogged down the stairs on a monday morning, "Hi Momma." she hugged her tightly, her new step-father, Jason drinking coffee. "Hi sweetie, you're breakfast is on the table." Gabriella nodded taking a seat and playing on her phone.
Jason looked at Gabriella, "Gabriella, it's not polite to text at the table." she looked at him, "And it's not polite to pretend to be someone you're not, you're not my father, never will be."
Her mother Veronica looked at her, "Gabriella." Jason looked at him new wife, "No. it's fine Veronica." Gabriella took a sip of her orange juice, "I'm actually not hungry, I'm going to school."
Gabriella walked to her locker, sighing putting in the combination, opening the locker, grabbing her chemistry book and slamming it shut. two familliar warm strong arms wrap around her. "Hey beautiful."
She smiled turning around wrapping her arm around his neck, pecking his lips, "Just the one person I want to see today." she leaned her forehead against his. he smiled, "How was the weekend?"
Gabriella rolled her eyes, "Terrible. I hate Jason so much, there's just something about him I don't trust.." tears were brimming in her eyes, "His..His trying to replace my father.."
Troy pulled her close, "Come here.. no one can replace Phillip Gabriella, No one.. he was a great man, and I don't like Jason either, he kept glaring at me at the wedding.."
Gabriella sighed, "What if Jason tries to break us up... I love you too much.. " she was against the locker, his arms wrapped around her waist, their forehead against each other.
"I won't let that happen." Gabriella bit her lip, "he just...he freaks me out Troy." "Hey...hey, I'll protect you. No worries." Gabriella giggled, "Hakuna Matata, right?" Troy chuckled, "Yeah...hakuna matata."
After School, Gabriella walked into the house, throwing her bag on the ground and looked up to see Jason with his arms crossed, "Yeah?" "You're late." Gabriella rolled her eyes, walking passed him, "I was studying."
He grabbed her arm, Gabriella looked at him, "If you know what's good for you, you will let go of my-" her face went to the left as his hand stung her cheek. Gabriella held onto her cheek. he narrowed his eyes, "Go upstairs." Gabriella glared at him, pushing him off of her and running back outside.
She ran all the way to Troy's house, knocking on the door. His father answered the door, "Gabriella-" "Is troy home, it's important." Jack nodded, "His out back shooting hoops, honey what's wrong?"
She shook her head running past jack to outside, "Troy!" he looked at her, "Brie." he dropped his ball, running over to her, "Gabs what happened." she had tears in her eyes, "He..He hit me Troy.." she cried.
He looked at her, "Brie...what?" Gabriella didn't say anything, she just went into his arms and buried her face in his neck.
He wrapped his arms around her and rubbed her back slowly, "Sh..sh..it's okay, I'm here. I'm here." Gabriella sniffled, her body shaking, "He-he hit me Troy. I..I-how is it possible to HATE someone so much in such a short amount of time?"
Troy sighed, pulling away from her just a few inches and wiping her tears away with his palm. "Come on gabs, don't cry.. you're okay.. I'm right here." Gabriella looked at him, more tears forming in her eyes, "Gabs, you have to tell you're mom-" Gabriella shook her head, "No! I can't.. she's so happy Troy! she loves Jason...I just can't ruin that for her, she's happy."
Troy sighed, cupping her cheeks, "He hurt you brie-" she shook her head, "I can't ruin my mom's happiness..I just can't do that to her, we lost my dad, I don't want her to be unhappy." Troy sighed, pecking her lips, "Okay. I won't tell her, and you don't have too.."
Gabriella nodded, "Can I stay here tonight?" Troy nodded, "Yeah, you can..come on, you want to go make some chocolate chip cookies?" Gabriella giggled, "Yes. you make the best." he smiled, "I learned from my mom."
They interlocked their fingers together, "I think about her alot, I miss her." Gabriella sighed, "I know how you feel..I..I still miss my dad so much, and now that his gone, the only guy I feel I can depend on is you."
"Hey," Troy said, kissing her forehead. "You have my dad...don't forget that; he was your dad's best friend." Gabriella sighed, smiling a tiny smile, "Yeah...how is he? With the...sickness-" "He's great, he has his good days and bad days..but, you can't tell he's sick."
Troy let out a laugh as he led her to the kitchen and started pulling out cookie supplies. "He still kicks my ass at basketball sometimes...then I win."
Troy was over at the counter sitting the supplies on the counter. Gabriella walked closer to him, wrapping her arms around his shoulders, kissing them gently. "He'll get better Troy..I know he will." Troy sighed, "I hope so."
Gabriella looked at him as he turned around to face her, he wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her close, "You're so beautiful.." he whispered. Gabriella kissed his lips, "I..I love you Troy." he smiled, "I love you too."
Gabriella smiled, "Well..I..I want you to prove it.." Troy's eyes went wide, "W-what?" she grabbed his hands, "Troy, Jason, he might tear us apart, he'll try anything to keep us away from each other, I want this, I want you." she cupped his cheek.
"Brie," Troy sighed, cupping her cheek and kissing her lips lightly. "...just...I have-my dad.." "Troy..please? I-I have never wanted...anyone so much-hmph!"
Troy cut her off with his lips on hers, pulling away all too soon, "I wasn't declining you, Gabriella." Gabriella smiled, kissing his lips again and running her fingers through his hair.
Troy lifted her up by her bottom wrapping her legs around his waist as he pushed her up against the wall on the counter. he ran his lips down her neck.
Gabriella moaned, "Troy.. anyone could walk in any second." Troy looked at her, smiling, lifiting her up carrying her bridal style up to him room.
Troy was ontop of her, she was panting heavily, their clothes had already made contact with the floor, Troy was breathing heavily looking into her eyes, "Are you sure brie?"
Gabriella bit her lip, but then nodded, "I'm sure. I want you. I love you." she crashed her lips against his, and that's when their bodies became one.
