I am really obsessed with this movie right now, so I have to do something else now… Not to steal anyone else's ideas, but this is a series of one shots. There will be at least 50 of them. I counted the rest of the ones like this and there are about 15 that I found…mine's a little different, though because they are song fics, too. They are mixed of all of my favorite couples from the movie: Troyella, Charpay, Chaylor, Zanessa, Ryelsi, Lashley, and Cashley. Not sure why those pairs, but those are the ones that appeal to me. Hope you like them! Don't own any of the songs or the characters!
PHOTO- Troyella: In this story, Troy and Gabriella are 24, but Troy moved away five years ago to Texas to play basketball. Gabriella and her 4 ½ year old daughter, Heavynne live in Albuquerque. Troy doesn't know that he has a daughter because Gabi was afraid to tell him that she was pregnant.
"A photo can say a thousand things
But it can't say
the million things I wanna say
A photo can
capture the way we were
But it can't
capture the way we are
'Cause you're
far away
What it's like
to know you
What it's like
to touch you"
Gabriella Montez sat down next to her daughter's bed. "What story do you want to hear tonight, Heavynne?"
"The one about Daddy and You. When you first met," she said, pointing to the picture she had of her father that was framed on her nightstand.
"Okay. It was New Year's Eve in the year 2005. Grandma and I were visiting my cousin at a ski lodge in the mountains. Grandma made me go to the party down in the lobby. Daddy was there, too, but I didn't know him at that point. There were some people singing karaoke. I was sitting in a chair, reading my book when a bright light landed on my page. I looked up, and before I knew it, a hand led me up to the stage. There was your Daddy. He sang the song with me, and afterwards, we talked for a long time."
"Did you fall in love with him when you saw him?"
Gabi nodded, tears coming to her eyes. She missed him so much, and he didn't even know that he was a father. Maybe if she had told him about the baby, things would be different. Maybe he would still be here.
"Don't cry, Mommy," Heavynne said softly.
Gabi wiped her eyes. "I'm sorry, Heavynne. Mommy just needs to go to bed. Goodnight."
"Night, night, Mommy! I love you!"
"I love you, too, Heavynne."
With that, Gabi went to her own room. She picked up her photo album and slowly turned the pages.
"When you told me that you loved me
were those just
words
You can't tell
me you don't need me
and I know that
hurts
'Cause I'm
looking at your picture
'Cause it's all
I've got
Maybe one day
You and me will
have one more shot
Timing lost minutes and moments
And I might be
lonely
But I'm not
afraid
In a second
It all comes
right back to me
Nothing's
forgotten now
Yeah
everything's saved
What it's like
to touch you
When you told me that you loved me
What it's like
to know you
were those just
words
You can't tell
me you don't need me
and I know that
hurts
'Cause I'm
looking at your picture
'Cause it's all
I've got
Maybe one day
You and me will
have one more shot"
She wished he
would come home. All she could do was wish for his strong,
comforting arms. The tears fell in rivulets down her face. She
couldn't stand not being able to talk to him about Heavynne. She
was, after all, his daughter too. He deserved to know about her.
But she knew that she couldn't bother him now. It was Christmas Eve, and he was really busy with basketball. Besides, she had just talked to him two weeks before, and he had a new girlfriend. He had moved on. He didn't need her anymore.
"You were my
life
you were my faith
You gave me hope every day"
The next day was Christmas. Heavynne opened her presents and was full of excitement when she was done. She played with her toys all day long, and before they knew it, it was time for them to go to Grandma and Grandpa Bolton's for Christmas dinner.
When they arrived, Heavynne immediately ran to the backyard to play with her father's dog, Shadow.
Jack looked sincerely at Gabriella. "How you holding up?"
"Good, I guess. I miss him."
"Maybe he'll come home soon. Then you could talk to him."
"Maybe," Gabriella said quietly, but she doubted it. He was with Nicolle now.
"When you told me
that you loved me
were those just words
You can't tell me you
don't need me
and I know that hurts
'Cause I'm looking at your
picture
'Cause it's all I've got
Maybe one day
You and me
will have one more shot"
At that moment, the doorbell rang. Gabriella opened it because she had been standing in front of the door. She looked up at the person and gasped. There were those blue eyes, that brownish hair. It was Troy.
"Troy," she breathed.
"Hey, Gabi. Surprise! I'm your Christmas present! Isn't that great?"
She didn't know what to say, except, "Troy, where's Nicolle?"
"Nicolle? Who's Nicolle?"
"Your girlfriend?"
"Oh, no, Gabi. I just made her up so I could surprise you."
Just then, Heavynne ran back into the house. She stared at her father.
"I've got an even bigger surprise for you," Gabi said under her breath. Troy looked from the door to Gabi's face. "Surprise!" she said helplessly.
He looked really confused, and she could see why. She would have, too.
"Daddy!" Heavynne squealed, running to Troy and wrapping her arms around his legs. He looked from her to Gabriella and back to Heavynne.
He and Gabi's eyes met, and he pulled her into a big hug. They were never going to be separated again. They were together forever.
