It's Troyella!
Troy Bolton was one of the most famous basketball players ever. He played With the Lakers. He was Captain and He loved it. He couldn't ask for anything more, he had everything he wanted, Fame, Money, A mansion, Couple of cars and A beautiful girlfriend called Gabriella Montez. But recently Things have been stressful for Troy, it was showing on the court when troy played. The coach had been training him and the Lakers for the big championship really hard.
While Troy was shooting some free throws, Chad approached him a grabbed a basketball and started to shoot some hoops as well.
"What's up Captain? Something on your mind?" Chad asked while he took a shot.
"Nothing Chad," Troy sighed as he sat down on the bench.
"That doesn't seem like nothing" Chad placed the ball down and sat on the bench
"I'm just tired, that's all," Chad gave him a knowing look.
"Fine, I am tired cause of coach training us but I'm worried about brie."
"Why? What's wrong with her bro? Is she hurt?"
"Nothing's wrong with her, I don't think..."
"Then why you stressing?"
"It doesn't matter Chad, I'll see her when I get home,."
"Okay Troy, Ask her later if there's any thing wrong"
Suddenly the coach came up to Troy and placed his hand on his shoulder.
"There you are, my captain! Come on we got to practice, we have a long night. So cancel your plans. And get on the court and do some lay ups and free throws!"
Troy saw Chad flip his phone out and called Taylor to cancel their plans. After he did that, Chad saw Troy and said "dude, you're not going to call Gabs?"
"It's okay, she'll understand, Nothing's important is happening tonight anyway, we were just going to have dinner. No big deal"
"if you're sure, man!"
Chad knocked his fists with Troy's and said "Let's do this"
Troy shouted "PAIR UP, Lakers!"
Mean while at The Bolton's Mansion.
Gabriella Montez was the girlfriend of The Troy Bolton and Of course she was happy for Troy and his success but couldn't help but feel Down and upset that they haven't had time for each other. He was captain and he needed to play. Things haven't been great, Because Troy would usually leave early in the morning and come back late at night. Most times she didn't even see him and it hurt her. She started being worried that Troy was cheating on her but she knew that her troy wouldn't do that to her. But her troy was fading away. Even if she did see him, he would never hug or kiss her any more but just speak small words to her and he promised that they would get married soon after Troy became Captain but it hasn't happened. Troy would usually come home moody and tired and his eyes were turning grey. She tried to communicate with him but it always end up with Troy resenting her and leaving her feeling vulnerable and crying her eyes softly while he slept. He didn't know how she felt and the reason that Troy was being like this was that he was tired but she knew that it was more than that.
Today was her and Troy's 6 months anniversary and she felt okay, not happy, not sad but okay. It was a daily routine that Troy would leave early but today she caught up with him and said that they can have dinner tonight and talk things through. She didn't tell him that it was their anniversary because she thought he knew. He replied "Okay" and then he went.
Now here was Gabriella dressed up in a long flowing black dress that went down to her knees and had some nice make up put on. She decided that she should make an effort for herself and troy. She was now sitting on her chair with the food laid out in front of her with candle lights, roses and quiet romantic playing in the air staring at the clock and gazing down to the opposite chair that was empty. Tears welled up in her eyes as she started shaking softly while holding Troy's gift in her hands. She moved her hand to wipe her tear that rolled down her cheek as she sighed and slowly got up. She muttered "I knew it" She pushed her chair in and picked up the untouched food that she prepared for them all day. She threw some of the food in the trash bin and looked up to the clock. It was now 10.00 pm. She moved back to table while sniffling and crying more freely. "He didn't even call" She switched on the Light and blew out one of the candles and then she heard the front door open and then shut. She moved the candle to the side and quietly singing to the soft music while trying to wipe more of her tears. She heard him going up to their room and heard Troy's Voice echo through the house calling for her. She continued clearing up and ignoring Troy's calls. She walked to the dishwasher and started to fill it up with plates. Troy's footsteps were racing down to kitchen and he saw her cleaning. He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her. That surprised her, he leant for a kiss on the cheek but she moved out of his arms and finished clearing up the table. Troy stood there in confusion and he looked around and he saw her in her black dress and saw the table that was covered with some food left and a candle and some roses left while listening to the soft music playing.
Suddenly Gabriella spoke quietly and averted his eyes so he wouldn't tell that she had been crying and said "Your food is in the microwave"
Troy grabbed Gabriella's hand and softly forced her to look at him. She looked down at her hand that was touching his and then looked up to his eyes. He noticed that she had been crying and he said "What's wrong Brie?"
Gabriella's emotion was all mixed up and she flinched at her name from him. She hasn't heard that name for so long. She was feeling angry and Hurt when she realized that he forgot and was feeling that the love between them was going away and fast.
"Like you care…" Gabriella breathed.
"I do…Gab, I do care" Troy replied.
"Do you know what day it is troy?" Gabriella asked as she stared at him.
"Umm…Friday?" Gabriella sighed.
"It doesn't matter anymore"
Gabriella Turned around and finished clearing the table as Troy looked around. And spotted the Calendar and saw the date August 14. It hit him. It was their anniversary. Their 6th month anniversary. He felt so stupid, it was all coming together. Gabriella in a dress, food laid out, candles, roses and romantic music.
Troy stood there in shock and Gabriella looked at him as she finally finished clearing up. She whispered to him as she was near him. "You finally realized then?" She sighed deeply and walked out of the room to living room and grabbed his gift.
Troy was washed with guilt and was thinking "Shit, what did I do?"
He walked into the living room when he felt something being thrown at him; with his instant reflex he caught it. He looked down in his hand and it was a box. He heard Gabriella say "Happy Anniversary, Troy" while she sat down and switch on the TV and quietly watched.
He opened the box and it was the Watch he wanted, a few months ago when he showed Gabriella and the day he said to Gabriella that they were going to get married after he made captain.
He silently walked over to her and gazed at her and whispered
"You look beautiful tonight, Brie"
"Troy, Don't."
Gabriella looked at him and she saw guilt in his eyes.
"I'm sorry Gabriella, for tonight"
"Sorry is not enough troy, Not anymore." Gabriella looked back to the TV but she could feel his stare.
"What do you want me to do then?!" Troy was getting frustrated.
"Don't shout at me Troy Bolton!"
"Then what do you want from me?!"
"I wanted you to remember our Anniversary, I wanted you to call me if you weren't going to make it...But you didn't Troy!"
"I said that I was Sorry Gabriella! I thought you would understand!"
"Well, you thought wrong!"
"Why are you being like this Now?"
"It's Not Now, Troy! It's how I feel everyday! I feel like you don't care, Care for me…"
"I care Gabriella! I just have enough on my plate at the moment!" Troy Snapped.
"Troy, I'm just going to ask you this once, are you cheating on me?"
"WHAT?!"
"I said are you-"
"I heard you the first time…What would you make you think I would do that?!"
"Because Troy! You don't seem like you love me any more…you never greet me with a kiss or a hug, you don't hold my hand, you don't even talk to me as much anymore!"
"Gabriella... That doesn't mean that I WOULD CHEAT ON YOU!"
"To me it does! When was the last time we had a decent conversation? When was the last time we cuddled up on the sofa? When was the last time you kissed me randomly? When was the last time we even made love?!" Gabriella whispered the last bit quietly but Troy heard her.
"Gabriella…I am not cheating on you, I just been busy with Basketball and Chad and the Boys…that's all!"
"See!, You spend more time with Chad and The boys than me, Troy…It's Like you want to push me away Troy and Replacing Me with something like Basketball!"
"Gabriella…I'm not pushing you away...I LOVE YOU, for goodness Sakes...I'M not trying to replace you either!"
"It sure seems like it!"
"Well, it is not!"
"Troy, Its not that I'm not proud of your success because I am…but-"
"But what Brie?"
"I never see you anymore Troy! You leave early in the morning and arrive home late at night! I can't take it anymore troy!"
"Can't take it?!...I'm the one who's bringing the money in Gabriella! It's not my Fault!"
"I didn't ask you to! I love you troy but I have a feeling that you love Basketball more than me."
"Gabriella, I love you okay?!...Don't you get that?"
Gabriella Was Crying her eyes out more and more, she couldn't control it.
"I can't Quit it just because I don't see you much anymore…BASKETBALL IS MY LIFE GABRIELLA! IT'S EVERYTHING TO ME, WITHOUT IT I AM NOTHING, NOTHING GABRIELLA!"
Gabriella stood there in shock as more tears filled her eyes if that was possible. She started breathing fast and shaking with hurt.
Troy Looked at Gabriella and Realized what he said he tried to reach for her but she let out a breath.
"Brie…I… I didn't mean it…I"
"I was right then, you know There was a time that you said that I was your everything and that I was your life." Gabriella chuckled. "But that's all in the past now."
"Brie…"
"It's Okay Troy; I'm going up to bed."
Troy was tearing and was filled with even more guilt
Gabriella put a small smile and said "Happy anniversary Troy"
As she headed upstairs while quietly crying.
