Memory

Ch.1 Prom night

Troy was in his bathroom getting ready for prom. He was going with the love of his life, Gabriella Montez. He couldn't believe that they had been together for almost 3 years. The time flew by. Troy was remembering all the little moments that he and Gabi had shared, like the time on his 16th birthday.

(Flashback)

Troy, Gabi, Zeke, Sharpay, Kelsi, Jason, Ryan, Chad, and Taylor were sitting in Gabriella's kitchen eating cake, that was made by Zeke for Troy's 16th birthday, when Gabriella ushered Troy upstairs and out onto her balcony.

"What are we doing up here Gabi?" Troy questioned.

"You'll see soon enough!" she replied.

She went over to her dresser and picked up a box that was wrapped in Wildcat colors and then walked back over to Troy and gave it to him to open. Inside was a picture frame that had 'Love' written all over it and the picture was of Troy and Gabi onstage singing "Breaking Free". Troy was smiling and waving into the audience and Gabi was staring at him and smiling. Troy didn't know that this picture had been taken. He then reached in the box and pulled out a CD which had a recording of them singing "Breaking Free". He hugged her and then pulled her into a passionate kiss, he then said,

"I love you Gabriella, so much."

(end flashback)

That moment meant a lot to the both of them because it was the first time that Troy had said 'I love you' to her, it started their relationship and made it official. He finished cleaning up and then started to get dressed. After he was done, he walked downstairs and went to the refrigerator and got out her corsage and then hopped into his Dodge Charger and drove over to Gabi's house. He continued walking up the alabaster walk and rang the doorbell.

"Hello Troy, Gabi is putting the finishing touches on her hair, so she'll be down in a minute. Go ahead and make yourself comfortable." Ms. Montez said. Troy nodded and sat down and looked at the picture that was on the side table, it was of the gang on New Year's Eve. The gang was looking at the camera, but Troy and Gabi were facing each other and were kissing under the fireworks. He smiled at the memory.

Then Gabi walked down the stairs and Troy stood and took in her beauty.

Her dress was amazing. It was a satin dress what had a bubble hem and had beading all over the waist and it was in the most beautiful shade of light blue that made Troy go weak at the knees. He was happy that he wore the blue tie! She took his breath away and she knew it.

"You…you look, wow, you look beautiful" Troy stuttered.

"Well, thank you, you clean up real good!" she giggled.

"Ready to go?" Troy asked her.

"Ya, let's hit the road!" Gabi replied.

The two of them got into his car and drove to the East High gymnasium and went inside and got their picture taken. They then proceeded to go find their friends and dance. They found Chad and Taylor dancing to "Run It" by Chris Brown and the rest of the gang nearby, Ryan even had a date. Her name was Caitlin and he asked her to be his girlfriend on the way there, which silenced all of the questions about Ryan. She accepted and now the entire gang had someone to be with. Then Celine Dion's voice poured through the speakers to the song called "I want you to need me" and Troy took Gabi's hand and led her to the dance floor.

(please read lyrics)

I want to be the face you see when you close your eyes
I want to be the touch you need every single night
I want to be your fantasy
And be your reality
And everything between

Chorus:
I want you to need me
Like the air you breathe
I want you to feel me
In everything
I want you to see me
In your every dream
The way that I taste you feel you breathe you need you
I want you to need me
Like I need you

I want to be the eyes that look deep into your soul
I want to be the world to you
I just want it all
I want to be your deepest kiss
The answer to your every wish
I'm all you ever need

Chorus

More than you could know
And I need you
To never never let me go
And I need to be deep inside your heart
I just want to be everywhere you are...

I want to be the face you see when you close your eyes
I want to be the touch you need every single night
I want to be your fantasy
And be your reality
And everything between

Troy then said to Gabriella,

"You are everything to me, I love you more than life."

She started to cry and replied back,

"I love you too."

Then the shots were heard and screams were echoed. They were in the midst of a shooting.
