Thank you to those who reviewed! Here is part two- to be honest not sure I even really like it that much- but hopefully it's okay for you!

Is Our Love On Fire?

*Chapter Two*

"NOOOO!" she cried out again.

She didn't want to believe what her heart was telling her. She didn't want to believe that the love of her life- the boy she loved more than anyone in the world- Troy Bolton- was dead.

She shook badly as Chad still held onto her. Tears were flowing down like a river and they just wouldn't want to stop. She desperately didn't want to believe that Troy was gone- but that was what her heart was strongly believing at the moment. It was hard and impossible not to think that.

"Gabriella," Chad whispered softly, "Oh Gabriella."

She suddenly looked up at him and into his eyes, and found herself gazing directly into them. She stared at him for a moment, before she managed to find her voice, as it was extremely shaky and hard to find, "He's- he's dead Chad. Troy- Troy is gone."

He stared at her in shock, his face held a look of disbelief. He could feel tears start to fall from his eyes. He blinked, but then started to speak to her, "What? No! No! But there's no body Gabriella- he could still-"

She shook her head as tears continued to poor down. She shakily held up her ring, she stared at it for a long time. She couldn't stop staring at it. She couldn't believe he had given her this ring, this amazing ring to her last night and they had been so incredibly happy. They were the happiest they had ever been. Now this was happening to them. It was all happening to fast. She didn't want to believe it was happening as she kept staring at the ring, "He would of never- ever taken this ring off. Not unless something happened- he wouldn't- he wouldn't-" she trembled, "He's gone Chad- he's gone." she managed to say, as little as she wanted to. She could feel her heart breaking into a thousand pieces as she said them. They were the worst words she had ever said and desperately she didn't want to say them. More then anything she wished she didn't have to.

Chad continued to stare at her in shock, for he didn't really want to believe it either. But if that was what Gabriella believed- the love of his best friends life- how could he not believe it himself? His entire body shook as he quickly wrapped his arms back around her, tightly, not wanting to let go.

She cried uncontrollably onto his shoulder for a few moments- but then suddenly she broke away. Chad gazed helplessly and sadly at her. He watched as she collapsed to the ground. She fell to her knees again, she had the ring still tightly in her hand. She cried out again, "We were supposed to be together- forever and always- we- we were"

"But we still have forever and always," she could suddenly someone behind her say.

She gasped in shocking disbelief, as she slowly turned around. There, behind her, stood Troy, who to her disbelief, looked very much alive! He had a huge gash on his forehead and he looked a little dirty, but he looked extremely alive in front of her.

Chad had spun around and gazed at Troy in shock also. He had a rather shocked look on his face and couldn't find his voice to speak to him for he was so shocked.

She kept staring at him in shock- unable to believe he was there. She was not sure weather or not to believe he was real- as he stood before her. She was afraid if she blinked he'd be gone and he would still not be here.

"Troy?!" she gasped, she breathed deeply after spoke his name, "Oh my God, is that really you Troy?"

"Gabriella," he deeply breathed, he gazed deeply into her eyes, "It is really me."

The minute he breathed her name, she knew he was real and really in front of her. She could feel her heart bursting with happiness all of a sudden as she realized he wasn't dead as she thought he was. She no longer felt the sadness she felt a moment ago. She felt it being replaced with pure joy of the fact that Troy was still here and alive.

"Oh my God Troy!" She cried in happiness, as she raced to him, for she could barely wait to have his arms around her. She was so happy he was able to have his arms around her. Before she knew it, she had gotten to him and he had his arms wrapped around her at last. It was like a miracle he was able to hold her, for a second ago she thought he was dead. She still couldn't believe he was really here and not dead like she thought. It was then where he leaned into kiss her wildly. He pulled away after an extremely long passionate kiss and gazed seriously into her eyes.

"Your really okay!" she breathed as she stared into his beautiful blue eyes, she was so happy she could look into them, "And alive! Oh my god, Troy, I saw my house, and I thought you were-" she shook a little, "They- they showed me the ring and I thought that you were- that you had-" she couldn't even bring herself to say it.

He brushed the hair out of her eyes, before he took a deep breath and started to speak to her, "Oh Brie, I'm so sorry you had to go through all that! But I'm okay. Really. I am okay! I'm not dead. I was really lucky to get out though. I just barely got out of the house and I tripped and hit my head really, really bad. I was knocked out for a little bit- then I got up and felt all confused and messed up. I wandered around and passed out not far from here. Then I woke up- everything cleared and that was when I came back here. I came right back here as soon as I was able to, Gabriella. I didn't die in the fire and I'm so so sorry if you thought that. Thankfully, I am still here with you!"

She could feel an extremely big sigh of relief rush through her and she was so incredibly thankful to know that Troy was really alive and okay and standing in front of her, "You don't have to feel sorry at all. I- I thought- they showed me your ring-" she held it up and stared at it then she looked back up at Troy, "I thought because they showed me your ring that you had-" she breathed deeply, "Thank God that didn't really happen and your still here with me, thank God!" She eagerly leaned into kiss him again. She was so, so, SO thankful she could.

"She even kind of had me believing it," Chad suddenly spoke to them, as he had been watching the whole reunion with a huge smile on his face. He hadn't wanted to interrupt them. He was so happy that his best friend was still alive and it showed on his face at that moment, "My gosh Troy- Thank goodness your really still alive! It is so good to see your okay!"

Troy looked up at him and grinned, "Hey Chad!" He had then broken away from Gabriella for a second to hug his best friend. They gave each other a brotherly hug. Chad couldn't help but smile wide as it felt so good to be able to hug his best friend.

Gabriella couldn't help but smile at Chad, "Yes, thank goodness he's alive and not like I thought Chad!" Chad couldn't help but turn around and smile at Gabriella then after he was finished with hugging Troy.

"Thank God, he's okay Gabriella!" Chad kept smiling at her. He watched Troy and Gabriella and was so happy they could be together right now.

Troy then broke away from Chad and put his focus back on Gabriella and gazed deeply at her.

"Thankfully, I am still okay, Brie and that didn't happen," he told her, he leaned into kiss her again, and it felt so incredibly good that he was able to kiss her. He then broke away, and looked at the ring she was holding. "I don't know how this fell off, but here, I will put it back where it belongs." he did just that and she smiled a little as she saw it back on his finger, where it did belong. It was back where it should belong, "I thankfully didn't die in that fire Brie and we are still able to have our forever and always like we wanted." She smiled again at the ring being now back on his finger and she leaned into kiss the ring. She looked up and then happily leaned into give him a long awaited kiss. It was just a miracle to her to be able to kiss him!

"Thank God we are able to have our forever and always," Gabriella breathed after she pulled away, she smiled, "Thank God. I don't know what I would of done had we really not been able to."

He smiled at her happily, "Yes, thank heavens we are able to be together right now."

She smiled back for a few moments but suddenly pulled her eyes away from him for a second and looked back at her house, unable to believe that her house had caught on fire. She stared at the scene in disbelief.

"Oh Gabriella, I am so sorry about your house," Troy breathed deeply as he looked at the house and then at her. He looked at her with deep worry and concern.

She turned to look at him and took her eyes off her house at the moment, "I'm just thankful that you were able to get out of it, Troy. I am sad I lost my house, and my belongings, but that's all replaceable. My mother and I can get another one here in Albuquerque. I can buy new things. You, though, are irreplaceable, Troy Bolton and I don't know what I would of done had I really lost you in the fire. I could never have another Troy Bolton and I'm beyond thankful I still have you here." She breathed a little after she spoke to him.

He looked at her extremely lovingly, "I love you, Gabriella Montez, and I am so thankful we still have our whole future to look forward to. I can't wait to live it with you!"

She felt so much happiness rush through her. Even though she was sad about loosing her house and her belongings, she still had the love of her life and that was all that mattered to her. He was standing here, next to her, and for that she was so happy right now, "I love you so much Troy Bolton! I can't wait to live our lives together and I'm so thankful we are still able to!"

They leaned into kiss each other then, both feeling so incredibly happy to be alive and with each other.

That was all that mattered.

They knew they'd be able to get through anything else in life as long as they had each other. And that was all they needed. As long as they had each other still everything would be okay.

"The party," Chad suddenly spoke, this caused Troy and Gabriella to suddenly look at him, "I know that is the last thing on all of our minds right now. We can cancel it, Gabriella, considering the situation."

Gabriella looked at her house, then she looked at Chad, and Troy. She took a breath, "No. I still want to have that party! We could have it a little later tonight though maybe- we'll work it out. Honestly. I just want to celebrate the fact that we are alive! I want to celebrate that Troy is alive!" she leaned into kiss him, happily.

Chad smiled happily at them, for he was so happy Troy really was okay.

Troy pulled away, "We can have it later at my house." he offered quickly. Then he seriously turned to Gabriella, "And you could maybe stay awhile at our place, you and your mom that is, you could have the guest room maybe."

Gabriella smiled, "That would be amazing if we could," he leaned into kiss her. Suddenly, it struck her, "My mother! I am going to have to call her right away. She's going to be so upset. I don't know how I will be able to tell this to her."

"I think she'll just be thankful that you are alive and okay Gabriella. Kinda like I am right now," Troy looked deeply in her eyes.

Gabriella gazed at Troy, "And we should really have you checked out and looked at, Troy! We need to make sure your completely okay. You did hit your head pretty hard. I'd like to have that looked at." She looked at his forehead in concern, "I'm so, so, SO extremely thankful you are alive but I want to make sure you are completely okay!"

Troy nodded, not wanting to argue, "We will do all of that, I promise." he gazed for a moment at her, "Seriously though. I think I am okay. Thankfully we will be able to live our lives together. Forever and always!" he whirled her around. She smiled happily as she leaned into a kiss that was filled with so much desire and love.

"Forever and always," Gabriella repeated those words, "Thank God we are still able to have that! And thank God that you are still here with me. Where you should be!"

"Yes we should both always be together. That is definitely the way it should be and will be always," Troy breathed. His eyes twinkled as he looked at her. He smiled happily before she leaned into kiss him once again. They then kissed for what felt like forever.

As they kissed, they were both so incredibly happy and thankful to be alive.

The End

hope you all enjoyed!
