Previously on Finding The Music Within...

"I will be happy to take that. I can make you love me" Troy said and drew her into his arms. He held her close to his body and looked deep in to her green eyes.

"I am sure you can" Buffy whispered back. Soon their lips were drawing near each others and they kissed forgetting about her lip bleeding. She did not even feel the pain as they soft loving kiss kept going on and on.

"Buffy Troy" Sharpey said and gasped whe she saw them. "I am sorry didn't know you were busy" she said. She turned and pushed the others back inside before they could say anything. She had a big smile on her face now maybe after tonight Buffy and Troy can admit they want to be a couple. "The party worked out great" she said to the others once the front doors were shut again.

"Yeah it did" Gabriella smiled. "Troy desreves a nice girl and Buffy you can tell is his kind of girl."

"Just like your my kind of girl" Ryan said and kissed Gabriella's cheek. Gabby blushed when he did it and kept a tight hold on his hand. She had no idea that coming to East High would change things so much. She was not longer the geek math girl, she was part of the circles in East High from popular to the drama groups and she had a wonderful boyfriend and great.

"Awww you two are so cute my brother has a girlfriend at last" Sharpey clapped her hands happily. And here the school and everyone thought Ryan was gay, he was far from being gay. She was glad she became friends with Gabriella instead of staying enimes.

"Thanks Shar I have the best girlfriend a guy could ask for." Ryan has always had a crush on Gabriella since he first saw her. But he thought her and Troy would end up together but he was glad when they both decided to just stay good friends.

"You know its not ackward having your two best friends dating" Chad said and held Taylor in his arms from behind. "I just hate to have to hurt him if he hurts her. She has been hurt enough in her life she deserves some happiness herself."

"I wish we knew what you were talking about" Taylor said and laid her head back on his shoulder. "Why won't you tell us about her past or why won't she?"

"It isn't my story to tell and its hard for her talk about it. She feels that she will be judged" he saw Taylors mouth open up to stay something. "And before you say a word I know you would not judge her but it is hard for her to trust people. I think eventually she will tell you guys Troy first of course but when she does you might understand better why she finds it hard to trust."

"We will take your word for it" Kelsi said. "Does she sing?"

"She can but she does not think she is any good" Chad chuckled. "We can get her to sing one night I am sure. We can all go charokeeing one night" he suggest grinning at the group.

"Sounds like a plan to me" Martha said walking up to the group. "Where is Buffy and Troy?"

"Oh they are outside enjoying some alone time" Sharpey said. "Lets go dance they will be back in later" she grabbed Zeke's hand and pulled him on to the dance floor. The others knew not to argue with her and followed her on to the crowded floor.

"Okay that breaks it" Buffy said and gigled and pulled back from Troy when Sharpey left. "I can bet she told everyone else right away."

"Knowing Sharpey she will make sure no one else comes out here" Troy chuckled. He was glad for that though it gave him some more time to be alone with Buffy and talk about them as whatever they were if they were going to be anything.

"I am glad since we need to talk" Buffy said and held his hand and looked at him. "Troy I want to be with you I do but I am scared" she said honestly. "I mean I have been involved before but they haven't been the best relationships I have been hurt and so have the others. I don't want to hurt you or have you hurt me I am scared."

"I don't know what your past relationships were but I can tell you I don't want to hurt you and won't ever hurt you. I plan on being the best boyfriend ever if you let me. I am falling for you and I am scared but I am ready to take the plunge into relationship land. Buffy please say you will be my girl" Troy had both of her hands in his and squeezed them and was staring into her green eyes.

"Troy" Buffy whispered. Her eyes misted over in tears. She never had a guy look at her that way and say those kind of words. "Yes I will be your girl but it is going to have to go slow."

"That is fine with me since you are my girl" Troy said. He pulled her close to him and kissed her softly and sweetly on the lips and pulled back and smiled softly down at her. "Buffy you have just made me the the happiest guy at East High."

"Troy you have made me happier then I have been in a long time" Buffy said and smiled at him soflty. "We should get inside now though since they are proably wondering where we are. And I am sure they are ready to pounce and ask whats the deal" she giggled.

Troy stood up and took her hand and helped her up. He walked back inside holding her hand. He heard a squeal and knew who it was. "Sharpey yes before you ask we are a couple" he told the blond that hurried up to them.

"I knew it I knew you would end up together tonight" she hugged them both and turned to Zeke. "Now that all is perfect dance" she said. She pulled Zeke back on the dance floor. They were all happy couples tonight, people got together and finaly admited feelings for each other.

"Dance with me" Troy said. Buffy nodded and the new couple got on the dance floor. They moved their bodies perfectly toghether staring into each others eyes. The party ended a few hours later and they helped clean up the house for Sharpey and then got into their night clothes. They changed in one room for girls and one room the guys.

"So how was the kiss?" Sharpey asked Buffy.

"Amazing" Buffy blushed as she brushed out her blond hair and began pulling it up in a pony tail.

"You two look so happy" Gabriella said and smiled.

"Well I am happy I never thought I would be this happy again."

"Well now that you are we expect to see you smile more" Taylor said.

"I did smile before" Buffy argued.

"Not this kind of smile of prue happiness" Sharpey said.

Buffy couldn't say anything they had her their it is true she has not smiled this way in a long time.

The guys were getting ready and Chad looked over at Troy. "Don't hurt her or else I will have to hurt you, your my best friend but I won't let her be hurt."

"Don't worry man I don't plan on ever hurting her" Troy said honestly.

"Yeah he is in love you can tell" Zeke grinned.

"We all got lucky in love tonight now the group is all made up of couples." Ryan was happy about that. Everyone was happy and found someone that is truely compatable with them.

That night they all pigged out on junk food and stayed up most of the night talking. They all fell asleep around 5 am and they were each in the arms of their othe half. Buffy dreamed that night of the night she died at the Masters hands. She hasn't dreamed of that in so long but she sat up the morning in a cold sweat.

"Are you okay?" Troy asked being woke up by her. He saw her face and how pale she was and her eyes a scared look in them.

"I had a nightmare" Buffy said to him. "I get them from time to time no big deal. I don't remember them I just know I have them" she said lieing. She couldn't tell Troy the truth because it would lead to other questions she was not ready to answer.

They day passed by quickly with them hanging out at Sharpey's and swimming and stuff. Sunday Buffy and the rest of them studied together and got there work done before they all left for home. Monday morning came quickly and Buffy smiled as she walked out the front door. She was dressed in a pair of tight jeans and long sleeve red shirt that hugged her body and had on a pair of red heels. She got in Troy's truck and kissed him on the lips. "Mornign handsome."

"Morning beautiful lets go" Troy held her hand and drove to school. They walked inside holding hands and they soon became the talk of the school along with all the new couples that formed at the party. They day flew by and its like the day was brighter for Buffy. She was happy and did not even think of her past or what she had to do again eventaully. Soon the weeks turned into a months. The month was the best of her life she was so happy and at ease. But she had no idea the next month bring out the fact that she can't escape her destiny and she had to tell her friends what she was and what her past was.
