"Gabby, long time no see…" Troy said softly, slowly reaching his hand towards her face.
Gabriella jumped back, her brown eyes filled with fear, love, and anger.
"Back off Bolton!" Gabriella spat.

"Gabi please don't!" Troy pleaded, grabbing firmly on Gabriella's right shoulder.
"Leave me alone Troy!" Gabriella growled, pulling away "You hurt me too much; I'm doing fine, just great in life!"
"I'm sorry Gabi! I never meant to!" Troy said desperately.
"You're just saying that because you have nothing else to say! Why don't you go to your nice house and be the person who you really are! A lunk-head basketball player!" Gabriella snapped.
"I'm not that kind of person Gabi, Don't you dare say that!" Troy said, slamming (not really, more like pushing hard…) Gabi against the wall.
"LEAVE MY MOMMY ALONE!" Julie screamed, pulling on Troy's bare leg.
"Yea, don't hurt my mommy!" Joshua yelled, trying to push Troy away from his trapped mother.
"Don't kill her!" Nathan cried, tears streaming down his face, pulling on Troy's arm.
"Gabby, are these your kids?" Troy asked looking at Gabi straight in the eye.
"What do you think Troy?! They are my kids!" Gabriella yelled.
"How old are they?" Troy demanded.
"Why do you have to know that Mr.?!" Julie yelled, still pulling on Troy's leg.
"Troy get off of me!" Gabriella struggled, but was trapped in Troy's muscular arms.
Troy slowly, pulling away from her after Julie and scratched his leg hard. The triplets ran to Gabi and hugged her tightly.
"You leave us alone Mr.!" Julie said.
"Yea! If you want our mommy, then you have to get through us first!" Nathan said boldly.
"Come on kids, let's go home…" Gabriella said quietly, packing up her purse and walking away.
"Gabriella Montez!" Troy yelled, running after them, which was a bad choice because he was suddenly surrounded by his fans.
"Ooh Troy!" he heard girls squeal has he saw is love get away in the crowd.
"TROY! Come on! Game's starting in 5 minutes!" his coach yelled from around the corner.
Troy ignored him and pushed his way through the crowd, sprinting out in the parking lot. He spotted Gabi's car, already pulling away and out onto the street.
"GABRIELLA!" Troy yelled. But it was no use. He watched painfully as the car disappeared out of sight.
"I'm sorry…" He murmured to himself.

Gabriella had tears streaming down her face as she was driving up front. Julie, Nathan, and Joshua were silent.
"Mommy?" Julie spoke up.
"Yes baby?" Gabi answered wiping away her tears with one of her sleeves.
"How does he know you?" Julie asked softly.
Gabriella sighed sadly. "He's just an old friend of mommy's…" Gabriella lied.
"But why did he say that he was sorry?" Joshua questioned.
"Well, he did something very mean to mommy so I got mad at him…" Gabriella answered again.
"I hate that guy…" Joshua said.
"Josh, language!" Gabi warned.
"I'm sorry mommy!" Joshua answered.
The next morning was very slow for Gabi. After sending the kids to daycare, she decided to chill off in the house. She was about to vacuum the floor when the door bell rang.
"In a minute!" Gabi called out.
She opened the door, only to see the one that she had always longed for.
"What are you doing here?" Gabriella growled.
Troy said no word and embraced the squirming Gabi tightly.
"I missed you Gabby…" Troy said..
Tears slipped down Gabi's face.
"Troy…what are you doing here?" Gabi demanded has Troy pulled away.
"I'm here for you…"
"No, Troy, I'm done with you!" Gabi said firmly.
"Where's your husband…?" Troy asked, changing the subject.
Gabriella grew silent. "I-I don't have one…"
"Who did this to you Gabi?" Troy asked
"You did…" Gabi said painfully.
"W-what?" Troy asked shocked.
"I said you did!" Gabriella said more loudly.
"What do you mean I did?" Troy said.
"You're the one who did this to me! You left me alone, having to deal with your kids!" Gabriella spat out. Troy's eyes widened and Gabi immediately knew what she had said.
"Gabi, are they…?"
"Yea Troy, you're a father…"
Sorry that this one was slightly shorter than usual! Lol
