Troy's Pov

Troy's Pov

Last night was definitely a tiring night. We all had the day off to do whatever we wanted, and I was planning on trying to relax. No matter what I tried I couldn't get Gabriella to fall asleep. I finally gave up and turned on the TV. It wasn't till about 5am when I realized she wasn't planning on sleeping. I could barley keep my eyes open, so I walked into the bedroom and sat her on the bed putting a movie into the DVD player. Hopefully this would give me an hour of sleep on the couch while she was watching it.

As soon as I sat down on the couch and put my legs up on the table I fell asleep. About 50 minutes later I was woken up by a door creaking open. The petite brunette made her way over to the couch and laid down with her head in my lap. The movie couldn't have been over so quickly.

I ran my hands through her gorgeous brown locks. "Are you Hungry?" I whispered. And then she did something that made me so happy. She nodded yes. I smiled down at her and got up from the couch. Sleeping on the couch was definitely not the brightest idea. I stretched and bent down to grab her. We made our way in the kitchen to find something to eat.

When I opened the freezer she pointed to the strawberry ice cream. I sighed, it wasn't food, but I couldn't say know to her. I scooped some out into a bowl and gave it to her and she devoured it within 20 minutes and put her head back on my chest and closed her eyes.

"Sleepy Brie?" she yawned wrapped her arms around my neck and snuggled into me deeper. I chuckled at this and we both laid down on the couch both of us falling asleep within minutes.

Gabi's Pov:

I was awoken from my sleep from people laughing. Looking at the clock I realized we have been asleep for 3 hours. I didn't know were it was coming from, but it sounded like it was getting closer and closer. When I began tugging on Troy's shirt he opened his eyes and looked around the room now aware of the noise.

"It's ok it's only our friends," he soothed my fears like he always does. From the way he was been taking care of me I knew I had nothing to worry about. Although I was still torn up inside, people just have to understand that it's going to take some time for me to warm up to them and trust people again. We both got off the couch while I followed Troy close by gripping onto his hand as we made our way over to the gang.

Troy Pov:

When I saw everyone they had the guys carrying about a million shopping bags. Leave it to Sharpay to find a place to shop when we're on a school trip. I shook my head at them.

"Coach said he wants us outside for basketball practice in 5," Chad informed me. I felt this was a perfect opportunity to leave Gabi with some friends. Even if there were tears, I knew I had to do this.

"Alright let me just get ready," she gripped my hand even tighter as I went to get my bag.

"Hey I'll only be gone for an hour. You'll have fun with Tay, Shar and Zeke. Lucas is hanging out at Martha's cabin so he probably won't even be here. You'll be fine." I kissed her forehead and gave her a hug as a made my way out the door with Chad. I turned back one more time and saw Zeke holding her back, her trying to get to me, while a single tear ran down her face. Taylor followed me out.

"Troy she's going to be fine, don't worry. We will probably just watch some TV.

"Yea I know I just hate to leave her like that. Oh and try to talk to her she might answer. She nodded her head at my questions. See you in a few." I turned around and walked outside.

Taylor's Pov:

I went back into the room only to find a hysterically crying Gabriella trying to get out of Zeke's grasp. I made Sharpay sit against the door so she wouldn't try to get out.

"Gabi it's ok we're not going to hurt you." This seemed to calm her down a little.

"Zeke let go of her lets see what she does," Sharpay suggested as Zeke let go of her.

Gabi's Pov:

When he let go of me I darted to the door only to find Sharpay blocking my exit. All I wanted to do was to be back in Troy's arms again. I felt someone grab my hand and bring me over to the couch. When I looked up I saw Taylor smile at me. Taylor was my next best friend other than Troy. I wanted to smile back, but I just couldn't I felt scared and alone.

Zeke's Pov:

Sharpay and I went to go join Gabi and Taylor but we sat on the floor. We felt like she might not feel so overwhelmed if we went right next to her. Every time one of use shifted in our seats it cause her to look at us making sure we weren't going to do anything. At least she stopped crying.

Chad's Pov:

Since Coach wanted Troy to stay a little later and work on free throws I decided to go back to the cabin and check up on everyone. When I put the key through the door and opened it I saw everyone's eyes look up at me. I gave them a smile when I saw them sitting together watching TV and put my basketball bag next to the door.

"Troy has to stay to work on his free throws," I informed them. Then I saw something that confused me. Gabriella was getting off of the couch and walking over towards me. She wrapped her arms around my waist. I picked her up not knowing how she would respond to this, but she immediately wrapped her legs around me. She buried her head in neck of my sweatshirt while gripping onto the arms of it. When I looked over to the group they all had smiled on their face, but also some confusion. I laughed to myself and made my way back out the door knowing she probably wanted Troy.

"Did you have fun?" she gave a little whimper when I adjusted her to see her face and shook her head no.

"Well then how about you and I go take a little trip down to the basketball courts and we might come across Troy?" she shook her head yes enthusiastically.

We made out way down to the basketball courts and she finally got to see Troy. As soon as she saw him getting ready to leave she started wiggling out of my arms, so I set her down.

Troy's Pov:

I saw Chad come back but this time carrying a small bundle in his arms. I soon realized it was Gabi and my heart did a complete turn. She finally trusts another person. When she ran to me I grabbed her and spun her around, and put her back into my arms. I could have sworn I saw a little smile. She threw her arms around me and I thought I heard the faintest "I missed you." When I asked her to say it again she didn't. Next goal is getting her to talk again so I can hear that beautiful voice of hers.
