"Hey Bella." Troy Bolton said to his thirteen-year-old daughter.
"What's up dad?" She asked back
Now Bella was a very independent girl, she grew up without a mother and her father worked a lot so she was alone a lot or with friends.
"Well, Bella, I was wondering if you wanted to go out to eat tonight?" Troy asked.
"Sure, what's the occasion?" Bella asked.
"No reason, just want to spend time with my girl." Troy told her.
"Alright." She agreed.
"So be ready at six." Troy said.
"Yep ok." Bella said as she went back to listening to her I Pod.
"Bye." Troy said walking out.
Troy has never had much time to spend with his daughter, but he knew he was retiring in two years. He was on a NBA team and he made enough to retire soon. He would date on and off, but for some reason, the women never liked Bella. He had yet to figure it out… He wanted someone to settle down with. He was a lonely man with only a daughter. He wished the women liked Bella… Of course what he didn't know was that it was Bella not liking the women. Troy fell in love once before, that's how he got Bella… no his ex didn't leave him with a daughter, she was in a car accident.
(Flashback)
"Excuse me, are you Troy Bolton?" A doctor asked.
"Yes I am, how is she?" Troy asked quickly.
"I'm afraid she slipped into a coma, and she most likely won't come out." The doctor said as Troy sat back down and lowered his head into his hands.
"This can't happen." Troy said.
"There is good news though." The doctor said.
"What could possibly be good?" Troy asked.
"Your baby girl will make a full recovery." The doctor smiled sadly and led him to the nursery. Soon he was in front of a little baby with black hair that was staring up at him with the same blue eyes.
"Bella Gabriella Bolton." Troy told the doctor his daughter's name.
"Ok." The doctor wrote her name down to be published onto a birth certificate.
"Doctor, can I go see Gabriella?" Troy asked.
"Um, yes but I must accompany you." He said.
"Alright." Troy agreed following the doctor out and into a hospital room. Lying on a pure white hospital bed was Troy's long-term girlfriend Gabriella Montez. She looked so beat up and she had casts on her right leg and arm. A cast was wrapped around her head and tubes and wires were hooked everywhere.
"Oh Gabi." Troy whispered walking over to her.
"She is still in critical condition so don't move her." The doctor said.
"Ok." Troy said as the doctor's pager went off.
"I'll be right back." He said leaving Troy.
"Gabriella, I love you. I was going to ask you to marry me tonight, so here," Troy said slipping the engagement ring onto her left ring finger.
"Bella is ok, we're going to move as soon as she can get out of here… I don't want to leave you, but the job is great and I need to take care of her. Your mom will come and visit. The doctors say you won't wake up. The chances are one in a million... I have to leave, but if you ever wake up, find me. I love you so much Gabriella Montez." Troy said giving her a kiss on the lips and walking out of the room. He was leaving, he couldn't stand coming everyday seeing his girlfriend dying. That night he slept in a chair outside the nursery. In the morning he checked his daughter out and left.

"Bella! Are you ready?" Troy yelled.
"Coming!" She yelled back running down the winding stairs.
"Alright let's go." Troy ushered her to the car.
"Where are we going?" Bella asked.
"We are going to meet someone at a restaurant." Troy said as they drove off. Soon enough they were there at a big fancy restaurant.
"This is nice." Bella said as she followed her father in.
"Bella, I want you to meet Denice Richardson." Troy introduced her.
"A pleasure." Bella said.
"Isn't she a doll." Denice said.
"No, I'm a human." Bella said already annoyed with the woman.
"Umm Bella, Denice is my girlfriend." Troy told her daughter.
"WHAT?" Bella yelled.
"Bella I wanted you to meet her." Troy tried.
"No…" Bella said walking out to the car.
"I'm sorry, I have to go, I'll call you." Troy said walking to the car himself.
"Bella, I don't want to spend the rest of my life alone." Troy tried to make her understand.
"But you have me." Bella said.
"Wouldn't it be great to have a mother?" Troy asked.
"I don't have a mother, and I never did nor do I ever want one." Bella said.
"Bella, your mother was an amazing person, don't say that." Troy said.
"Then why isn't she here?" Bella asked.
"She… died. At least I think she did." Troy said.
"What do you mean?" Bella asked.
"She was in a coma when we left. She was in a crash while she was pregnant with you. She had a one in a million chance to live, and I couldn't stay and watch her die." Troy said with tears in his eyes.
"But what if she is alive?" Bella asked.
"Then I made a mistake, but I really don't think she is, baby." Troy said.
"What was her name?" Bella asked.
"Gabriella." Troy said.
"My middle name." Bella stated.
"Yea…" Troy said.
"Why didn't you ever tell me? I believed she left us or something." Bella said.
"You never asked, you seemed content with what you have." Troy said.
"What? You're never home dad. My friends can't hang out twenty four seven." Bella said.
"Yes, and I'm sorry for that, I just got caught up in making enough money to survive when I retire… I'll try to find more time for you ok?" Troy asked.
"Ok…" Bella agreed.
"And will you give Denice a chance?" Troy asked.
"I'll try." Bella said.
But what they didn't know was that Gabriella Montez was indeed alive. She woke up two years after the crash. She slowly worked her memory back and lived with her mom before she went to college. She knew about her daughter and Troy, but she figured, because it was such a long time ago, they didn't need her. Gabriella lived in New Mexico but shortly moved to L.A where Troy and Bella live.
