Disclaimer- I own nothing but the story line!

Hey! Well, finally. I'm getting back into the HSM stories but first I'm doing a couple of one shot's, seriously I need you guys to tell me whether you want an epilogue and which new story or I might start writing a horror because personally I don't think there's enough Troyella horrors. SO REVIEW/VOTE/SUBSCRIBE!

Long Night.

Gabriella stared at the alarm clock, 4:32am. Then peered over to the bed; both sides empty.

She then stared at the suitcases she had packed.

She had to say goodbye somehow, even if it weren't to his face, truthfully she was avoiding this hence why she was leaving while he was partying.

He had changed, she thought to herself, grabbing a pen and paper.

It doesn't really matter now you're gone
You never were around that much to speak of
Didn't think that I could live without you, baby
It couldn't be that hard to live alone

It was true, he was never around anymore, always to busy with his team. Yes, Troy Bolton was the captain of the Lakers but he had changed with all the fame and fortune, become a self centred, obsessed person. She knew she would manage alone and she would tell him this.

But I'm all, all alone again
Thinking you will never say
that you'll be home again

It seemed like he was never home, his routine was now quite different, they never made love, he would never tell her he loved her, he would never touch her, he would never protect her. She was done with being alone… She would maybe, come back to him, if he proved he could change.


And it's gonna be a long night
And it's gonna be cold without your arms
And I`m gonna get stage fright caught
in the headlights
It's gonna be a long night
And I know I'm gonna lose this fight

She knew the night would be long, and she knew she would cry herself to sleep, but she would get better and deep down, she knew that she needed her independence back. Troy had stolen her heart, but also her independence and self reliability.


Once upon a time we fell in love
And I thought that I would be the only one

She really believed that she would his only love, and that had all been true up until a year ago. He had started partying lots, forgetting her, never cheating unless you count his love for drink and drugs. Sure, soon enough, he would lose everything else and be a sad little boy with just a bruised ego and enough money to OD himself, but he had got himself in the situation and she would not be around to watch him fall.m

But now I'm on, I'm on my own again
Thinking you will never show
you won't be home again

And it's gonna be a long night
And it's gonna be cold without your arms
And I`m gonna get stage fright caught
in the headlights
It's gonna be a long night
And I know I'm gonna lose this fight

Lost in you arms baby
Lost in your arms

Now I'm on my own again
Thinking you will never show
you won't be home again

And it's gonna be a long night
And it's gonna be cold without your arms
And I`m gonna get stage fright caught
in the headlights
It's gonna be a long night
And I know I'm gonna lose this fight
I'm gonna get stage fright caught in the headlights

She knew, that if he came back before she had left, that he would convince her to stay but she would lose the fight and come back when he had realise what he had lost, you see Gabriella was 4 months pregnant, which was the last time they made love, or went out together.

It's gonna be a long night
And I know I'm gonna lose this fight
I'm lost in your arms baby
Lost in your arms

The tears spilled down her face, and she re-read the letter. Suddenly the door swung open and a hung over Troy tripped in.

As he slipped, not so gracefully into the bedroom, he noticed the suitcases. He almost immediately looked up to see a crying Gabriella holding on to a piece of paper.

"Where? What?" he mumbled.

"I'm going Troy, this is it, sort yourself out before you even think about asking me to come back" she stated, pure confidence shining through her sullen face.

"Oh, and read this" she said handing him the slightly damp paper, along with a box.

And with that she walked out, head held high, into the darkness of the morning. Giggling through her slowing tears, you see Gabriella Montez would be back; just she was making sure she did the best by him, by making sure he knew what he was missing.

With Troy

He shook his head, tears spilling down his face as he re read the letter. What had he done?

And with that, he booked himself into rehab, to get better for the love of his life and his baby.
