Gabriella and Troy are in Rome looking for their siblings. Sharpay left Albuquerque feeling that Gabriella would find the truth that she is the one who sent the info to the tabloids she came to Rome leaving Stella with Ryan. Gabriella was walking around she stopped when she heard familiar voices. It was Troy and Sharpay talking.

"Sharpay I promise you I will never leave you for Gabriella never I love you not her you are my wife." Said Troy feeling some how him saying that would cause problems in the future.

"I believe you and we have Stella too I am so glad we have full custody and that you didn't leave me for Gabriella after she had Stella. Thank you." She kissed and hugged him and then they left to go back to the hotel.

'I can't believe he said that he didn't love me. Why am I so surprised he could never stand up to her.' Thought a very shocked and sad Gabriella she started walking again. 'He will never leave her'

Troy and Sharpay had just finisher their love making session, they had fallen asleep.

Troy starts dreaming.

Troy turned to the person beside him in bed thinking it would be Sharpay but to his surprise

"Gabriella"

"Come on Troy I know you wanted to see me in this" she said pulling down the covers to revealing a very revealing lingerie, "you want me as much as I want you just admit it." She leaned over and started kissing him.

He was lost for words and started to kiss her back. They began making love.

"Oh my god" exclaimed Troy coming out of his very hot dream not waking Sharpay "maybe a walk will let me forget about Gabriella." He got up left quietly.

Gabriella had just left the church after talking to a priest about her troubles.
Flash back

"Father what must I do I have always chased the mad I love but he never came back to me I have finally given up on us being together." says Gabriella

"My child don't give up true love conquers all" says the father

"No I have made my mind I always use to believe that but not now I have made my mind up I given up."

While walking she wasn't looking where she was going and bumped into some very strong arms.

"Troy" she said in a cold tone.

"What's with you" said a very confused Troy it had felt good to touch her even though it could never be between them it would be best they were friends for their daughter.

"Troy, Gabriella I am glad I found you Alistair died we are free his plane crashed when he tried to escape I cant stop right now I got to go." Noah said then ran to tell the others.

" I am so happy for u for all of us he is dead" he looked at Gabriella "You are so upset. What is it? I don't like to see you upset."

" And why should today be different than any other day? What are you doing out here anyway, Troy" snapped Gabriella.

"I was having trouble sleeping, so I came out here to take a walk, but if you have nothing to tell me, then I can keep walking, Gabriella . I can just --" he started to walk away.

" No, no, wait. Just wait. Just wait i need to tell you something that will change our lives forever." said Gabriella turning him back to her her temper changing.

"I am listening."

"Yeah, I am actually. You know, for the past seven years, I have hoped and prayed that my dream would come true. You know, that the two of us --" said Gabriella

"Don't" said Troy annoyed cutting her of.

"No, you're going to -- you're going to listen to me tonight, Gabriella , because this is a turning point in our lives. All of those years, I have pinned my entire existence on achieving that dream -- you know, that one day I would be your wife. I would be the mother of your children. And although, you know, I am actually the mother of your child, it's come to nothing."

"Well, that dream -- that dream came to an end because of your actions. You know that." said Troy

"Yeah i know" whispered Gabriella.

"Every moment of my life, I try to regain that feeling that I had being in your arms. But it's always just out of reach. I know you had that feeling, too, Troy. I know it in my soul. We belong together. You know it, and I know it. And yet, you stay married to Sharpay. I think that's got to be some kind of sin."

"No i am happy" Troy suddenly replied

"And yet, you left your wife's bed in the middle of the night, Troy. Why did you do that? Did you come out here to look for me?

" No, no, I did not."

" You just wanted some air, right? Do you know that if I were in that bed with you, you never would've left because holding me in your arms would have made you feel whole and complete"

" Don't. this will get us nowhere."

" I know that now, Ethan. I know that now. But if this is a night for total honesty, then I need to admit that a lot of our problems have been because of me."

"Maybe, um, maybe life didn't turn out the way you thought it would, but that doesn't mean life is over, Gabiella. I mean, life throws us curves, right? And then -- hey, if you followed one of those curves one day, maybe -- maybe it would lead you down a path that you didn't expect, a path that might lead you to be happy."

"Is that what u have with your wife Troy."

"I thought so " laughed Gabriella

"I am happy with my wife"

"Right. And that's why I have to move on. And I don't think, Troy, that there is actually anyone else out there for me. But no matter because what I thought I could have with you is lost"

"You mean it ?" never thinking he would here the words.

"I'm locking my heart away so it can't hurt me anymore. It's over"

"So I guess this is good-bye? "

"No, no, it doesn't have to be good-bye. Don't say good-bye to me. We can, um -- we can be friends. We can be friends." said a very pleadind Troy.

"I can't do that."

" We -- we can -- "

" No, don't. I don't want -- "

" Gabriella --"

" Ok. Are you going to be all right?

" I'll have to be."

"Look, Gabriella, I -- "

No, no, no, I -- I don't -- I don't -- I don't want it. I don't want it, Troy. Don't. Leave me alone, please go, please.

" I don't want you to touch me right now, please."

" All right, all right, I won't. All right."

"So I'm just going to say this. I just want you to go. I want you to leave me alone, please. We are finished."

Troy walked away after taking one glance at the love of his life how would he cope.

A few days later they all left to go back to their homes since Gabriella has taken over Crane Industries, she then fought Troy for custody for Stella and won full custody. Troy doent really get to see his daughter that much he feel is just his punishment for keeping her from Gabriella when he had tempory custody always listning to his wife he can only visit her is his wife is not with him. he works for a new firm now that happens to be in the Crane building on the 10 th floor . Gabriella and him have become friends but only for the sake of their child Gabriella still feels the same way nothing has changed.
