Chapter Two: Leaving
So far away, I wish you were here,
Before it's too late, this could all disappear.
Before the doors close, this comes to an end.
Troy and Gabriella just finished the last Twinkle Town production, and it was finally the end of the school year. Gabriella gently kissed Troy and told him he did wonderful. Troy gave Gabriella a ride to the After Party, which was at his house. Once they got there, they began to dance and eat. Troy then thought, "Well, now's the time to tell her."
"Gabriella, let's sit down on the couch for a minute," Troy told heras they walked over to the couch and sat down.
"What?!" Gabriella asked him.
Troy grabbed her hand and held it. "I'm leaving to go to Boston this weekend, I'll be gone for three weeks," Troy told her, sad that he had to leave her for what seemed like so long.
"No! I'll miss you too much!"
"I'm sorry, I have to go visit my family, my mom is making me," Troy explained.
"Yeah, and I'm going to be stuck here on the other side of the country," Gabriella joked, trying to hide her sadness.
"I wish you could come, Gabriella," Troy said kissing her on the cheek.
"I wish I could too.." She said. "Well, I wanna see you before you leave, okay?!"
"Alright," Troy said and smiled. "You care to dance?!" He asked Gabriella.
"I'd love too," Gabriella replied, smiling. Troy and Gabriella danced and talked until the party ended. Troy drove Gabriella home and walked her up to her door.
"I'll see you Thursday, we are leaving Friday," Troy told her.
"Okay," Gabriella said looking sad.
Troy hugged her and gave her a soft kiss, "I love you, Gabriella, bye!"
"I love you too," Gabriella said, walking in the door.
