Chapter 1: Future Plan's

I park in front of Chad and Taylor's house. As I walk up the walkway a smile graces my lips. I knock on the door waiting for someone to answer.

" It's open," yells Taylor

I walk in and see her chopping away in the kitchen.

"Hey it's just me," I say as I walk to her and kiss her check hello.

" Hey Troy how's it going. Chad's outback grilling"

" Ok, looks good Taylor"

I head to the backyard and stifle a laugh at the sight of Chad. I could never get used to seeing Chad so domesticated. Chad and flames isn't a pretty picture.

" Hey man," I say

" Hey bro, steaks will be done soon. Help yourself to something in the cooler."

" My parents will be here shortly," I told him

" Ok"

It was hard when Chad lost his parents in that car crash. He was a broken man. He lost himself in alcohol and depression. Nothing mattered not school especially not basketball. Thank god for Taylor though. These two I can say are soul mates. Taylor deferred the second semester of her sophomore year at Arizona State to come home for him. She stepped up and kept him going. As I like to think kept him above water because without her he was sinking down fast. His parents death had left everything they own to their only son. From the house to the family business it was all left to him. Luckily when Chad awoke he realized that he couldn't be whole unless she was beside him every step of the way.

So they got engaged and moved into the house his parents left him. That was over just over a year and a half ago. There wedding was a week and a half away. After much trials and tribulation he had come to the realization that his parents were not coming back. Chad had started a Friday night ritual where my parents and I, plus whomever else he invited came over for dinner. In the end he realized he still had a family. I snapped out of my reverie when my father padded me in the back.

" Hey dad"

" Hey son, where's Nicole?"

" Couldn't make it"

" Oh" he says

" Alright everyone food is done" bellowed Chad

" No one else coming" I said

" No, all were to busy this evening" he says

We all follow Taylor over to the picnic table. As I start to eat I feel everybody's eyes on me. I look up in time to catch Chad nudging Taylor.

" So Troy, I have chosen my maid of honor for the wedding. I personally wanted to tell you before you found out from someone else" says Taylor

" If it's Sharpay you will greatly pay after your honeymoon." I say

" No it's not Sharpay," she says

" Well Martha or Kelsi are better then Sharpay. Hell anyone is better then Sharpay."

I look over at Chad laughing which he can't help to laugh at also.

" Actually Troy"

" You've got to be kidding me," I say
