The Day was hot and sunny, there were pink balloons everywhere at the park. Troy parked the car in the parking lot. Gabriella slipped out of the passengers seat and grabbed a hold of his hand. "So, she's having a girl I assume?" she giggled, "What was your first guess?" she pecked his lips. they walked over to the little picnic bleachers.
A Black African Pregnant lady about 6 months along gasped hugging Gabriella. "Girl, You look amazing!" Gabriella gasped, "Tay! You look beautiful!" they hugged each other. Taylor rolled her eyes, "Please, I look like a whale." Gabriella smiled hugging Troy's arm and leaning her head on his shoulder, "This is my boyfriend, Troy.." she looked up at him smiling, "Troy, this is one of my best friends Taylor."
Troy shook her hand, "Nice to meet you...Taylor." she giggled, resting a hand on her portruding belly. Her smile disappearing for a second when she really looked at Troy, "wait a minute? Troy...as in Troy Bolton..Chad told me a lot about you." Gabriella looked at him, then at Taylor then at Troy again, "You know him?" Troy cleared his throat, "uh...you have mistaken ...I'm don't know your boyfriend." Not since college when he slept with my at-the-time girlfriend.
Taylor bit her lip, "no don't be absurd, Chad has a picture of you from college-CHAD!" Troy paled, the last thing he wanted to see was his...ex best friend. He turned to Gabriella, "uh I'm going to get the gift from the car, won't be long." he'll just delay until he's sure Chad is gone and out of his sight.
Gabriella watched him go to the car. she bit her lip. Chad came over, "what's going on?" Taylor turned to him, "Do you remember Troy..Troy Bolton." Chad nodded, "Yeah, what about him?" Taylor turned to Gabriella, "His my boyfriend." Chad smiled, "Really? wheres he at?" Taylor pointed over to the car. Gabriella looked at them, "umm I'll be right back, I'll go get him." Gabriella walked over to the car to find Troy digging, (Well Pretending) to find the gift. "Troy." she said. he looked at her, "Brie-" she sighed grabbing his hands, "I want you to be honest with me, cause If your not honest with me, I don't think we can have a relationship..."
Troy sighed, "I'll tell you...just not now all right? I don't want to talk about it now." Gabriella bit her lip, "Troy-" "let's enjoy the party..I got the gift." he walked passed her, towards Taylor, "Happy er, baby shower." Taylor nodded, taking the gift, "Thanks er, Gabs, why don't you come with me to the gift table?" Gabriella nodded, smiling and taking Taylor's hand. "I'd loved to." she sent Troy a look, 'Be nice' she didn't need to say it, her eyes said it for her. Troy gulped, looking down at the ground. Chad cleared his throat, "So...it's been awhile." he looked up at his...former friend. "Yeah." he said curtly.
Chad sighed, "Troy it's been 3 years since college, can you please...forget about it?" Troy chewed his inner cheek, he would like it...but he can't. "Why? So everything can go back to normal? The way it used to be?" Chad groaned, "it was an accident Troy," Troy rolled his eyes. "Yeah...an accident? AN ACCIDENT?" everyone dropped what they doing, staring at the two men. Chad gulped, "Troy-" "you call...you call it an accident? Oh wow...then your as stupid as they said you were in high school!"
Gabriella came over to him hugging his arm, "Troy! stop!" he looked at her, and then looked at chad, "I'm not over it chad! I know what you did to me! how you backstabbed me!" Chad groaned, "Troy, it was 3 years ago! It's done! it's in the past-" Troy glared at him, "I loved her Dammit! and you had to ruin my relationship with her, and our friendship! I can't get over that!"
He turned to Taylor, "I'm sorry about this, congradulations." he went over to the car. "Troy Wait!" she chased after him as he slipped into the car, and she got in with him, "Troy..please talk to me.. please..don't shut me out.." he looked at her, she had tears in her eyes, she sniffled, "please.. your hurting me by not being honest with me.. please.."
He sighed, kissing her on the lips, "I'll tell you later...once I had a few beers in me." Gabriella bit her lip, she grabbed Troy's arm, "Troy please don't leave-" "And what Gabriella?" his eyes were blazing, "hold hands around the camp fire and sing kumbaya?" "Troy-" "I'll see you later...I'll tell you later." He got in the car, shutting the door and starting the car; in no time pulling out of the driveway. She bit back a sob, turning back to Taylor, "uh...I just, he's secretive." Chad bit his lip, Taylor hugged her friend and looked at her boyfriend, "did you tell me everything?"
Chad bit his lip, "Tay let's..let's just talk about this later.." Taylor grabbed him arm, "Chad-" "later Taylor." he walked away Gabriella looked at him, "Hey, at least we both have the same guys." Taylor laughed, "Yeah." Gabriella sighed, she really wanted to know what was going on between these two.

Gabriella got home that night and walked through her front door and slipped off her jacket. she bit her lip going over to the fridge. there was left over pizza hut so she would just warm it up. there was a knock on her door. she sighed walking to the door and opening to find Troy standing there. "hey." he whispered. she sighed, "Hi." he looked at her, "Can we talk?" she nodded, "Yeah, Talking..I..we need to do that." she opened the door for him and he walked in. they sat on the couch. Gabriella sat close to him, he held her hand. "3 years ago.. this girl.. her name was Courtney.. she was.. I loved her, I didn't know why but I did..." Gabriella snuggled into his chest, "Keep going." he looked down at her, "One night I came home, and I walked in on her sleeping with..with Chad."
Gabriella gasped, "Troy I-" he shook his head, "that's not it...I have her a second chance after she cried and pouted about it." he looked down at their hands, Gabriella kissed them, "what happened?" he looked at her, "2 years later, I had a ring ready and everything to purpose to her... but the problem was I found her sleeping with my brother." Gabriella's eyes went wide, "Oh my god." he nodded, "I'm sorry about everything-" she shook her head, "No, I'm sorry, I I shouldn't of brought you there If I knew you two didn't get along-" "you didn't know Brie.. you didn't know." she bit her lip, "Do you still want to be in this relationship? or is it not worth the pain?"
Gabriella cupped his face, "Troy, I didn't know, you're right about that-but Chad is also right, isn't time to move on-" he looked at her, "I..I tried that Brie, I swear I did-" she shook her head, "No, Troy...there is no trying. Either you do it or you don't." "Brie-" "you didn't do it." Troy sighed, pulling her into his lap, "Brie, look at it from my point of view...okay?"
She sighed, "Troy, but it's been years-" he pecked her lips gently, "come on...at least try to it from my eyes." she sighed again, wrapping her arms around his neck, "I'll try, but right now, it's late and I have work tomorrow." Troy smiled small, "can I stay the night?" she smirked, "why?" he looked down, "I er, lost my house keys."
She giggled, "I bet on purpose." he looked at her rolling ontop of her on the couch. "maybe I did.. maybe I didn't." she smiled running her hands through his hair. she looked into his eyes, "Troy." he looked at her, "Yeah Brie?" their faces were inches apart, "I..I lov-" then her phone vibrated, she groaned, looking at the caller ID. "It's shane." Troy looked at her phone, then at her, "Don't answer it." she sighed putting her phone on the table next to the couch, wrapping her arms around his neck kissing him passionately. Troy wrapped his arms under her back that was against the couch seat.
Gabriella giggled into the kiss, he pulled away, "You giggle alot." she smiled, "You make me giggle." she ran her hands through his hair, "I hope you know Troy, I'll never cheat on you.. I know how you feel." her head snapped to look at her phone, then looked back at him, "Shane hurt me so bad, I cried for a month when..when I found out what he did to me.." she began to have tears in her eyes, "and a week before that, he.. he told me he loved me, and that there was nobody else for him.. then I found out what he was doing, I..I was heartbroken.."
Troy leaned his forehead on hers, kissing her nose sweetly, "ever think that we're puzzle pieces?" she looked at him, "What?" he chuckled, "Me niether...at least, not till now." she smiled, as he captured her lips in a soft kiss. His hands played at her hips, drawing circles on her skin under her shirt. She giggled, "that is...my tickle spot." he smirked, "really?" her eyes widened, "don't you-" "do you have any others?" he wiggled his fingers, and then attacked her belly button, making her giggle so loud it was almost a scream.
Troy lifted up her shirt and blew rasberries. Gabriella giggled, "Troy.. stop." she laughed. her smiled sitting her up on his lap. he played with her curls, "I never seen anything so beautiful." Gabriella blushed, "Troy-" he smiled, "Brie, to let you know, I would never cheat on you either... shane blew it. he lost you and now I have you." Gabriella wrapped her arms around him, "Oh my god Troy! your the sweetest." she pecked his lips, and cupped his face as she did so.
"Just to let you know, when you meet my mother, it's really hard to get her to like you, so if you love me, you won't walk away if she doesn't like you.." he shook his head, "Brie, I'm there for you, not for your mother." she sighed, "She just.. she hasen't got over me and shane breaking up.. she thought I was going to marry him someday." Troy chuckled, "Well maybe someday you'll marry me." she giggled slapping his chest playfully, "Slow your roll romeo, we haven't even gone far in our relationship." he shrugged, "Well it's nice to think about."
