Chapter 2

Recap

"Wow guys. It feels like someone stole your presents on Christmas day. What happened?" Sharpay laughed at Gabriella, Troy, Chad and Taylor's pissed emotions.

"Kevin and Samantha happened." Troy said, jumping and resting on Ryan's bed.

"Hey! I just fixed my bed." Ryan complained.

"They're here?!" Sharpay screamed, ignoring Ryan's comment.

"Yes they are." Gabriella said in a dull tone.

"Man, why does college seems like the problematic period of my life right now?" Troy said.

"It can get worse you know." Gabriella mumbled since she knew that Kevin is capable of anything just to get what he wants.

End of Recap

"How's my beautiful girl?" Troy asked, kissing Gabriella's head as they headed to the car.

"I'm mentally tired!" Gabriella groaned and sat lazily on the car seat.

"Mentally tired? At least you're not physically tired because I'm taking you out today!" Troy exclaimed as Gabriella smiled softly.

"I'm up for it!" She said happily.

"Wow, very casual! Love it!" Gabriella giggled as they entered a small casual restaurant.

"So, what do you want to eat?" Troy asked as they scan through the menu.

"Umm.. Give me a minute." Gabriella said, choosing carefully.

After about 5 minutes of waiting, Troy got impatient.

"Come on Gabi! Just pick anything!" Troy exclaimed as Gabriella acted shocked.

"Pick anything? Troy! Do you want your girl to be fat?!" Gabriella asked with a gasp.

"Gabs, I'll still love you even if you turn out to be the fattest woman in the world, which won't happen." Troy said.

"How do you know it won't happen?" She questioned.

"Because I'll drag you to the basketball courts and make you play." He smiled brightly.

"Why don't you just order your stuff. Nothing is stopping you." Gabriella said, shrugging.

"Ladies first, that's what's stopping me." He told her.

"That didn't stop that guy." Gabriella giggled, pointing at a random guy eating like Chad while the girl stared at him in shock.

"I don't want to turn out like that!" He told her.

"Just pick something Gabi." Troy pleaded but Gabriella continued to look at the menu. A waitress was waiting the entire time just watching the two of them.

"Can I please have a hamburger and fries?" Troy and Gabriella said exactly the same time which made them laugh so hard.

"Be right with you." The waitress smiled.

"Took you so long to order and pick something healthy." Troy exclaimed as Gabriella giggled.

"Well, my appetite got bigger when you started rambling on and on an on." She laughed while Troy playfully glared at him.

--------------------------------------

After about half an hour of eating, Troy and Gabriella headed to a hill near a park. It was absolutely beautiful there especially on afternoons.

"You know, I really don't know if I can face tomorrow without you Gabi." Troy told her seriously.

"You know you can and you will. When the day comes." Gabriella said.

"I hope that day doesn't exists." Troy smiled as they lips met in a gentle kiss.

"I can't believe I forgot you and your kisses at one stage." Troy said still amazed at the memory. Memory he couldn't even remember. (Troy couldn't remember the time when he had his amnesia in the first one).

"Promise you won't forget me again?" Gabriella asked.

"I promise. You won't forget me either right?" He asked.

"Don't worry, I won't." She said with a smile. (No promises from Gabi there. Lol)

"Damn it Montez, why do I love you so much?!" Troy suddenly burst out, catching Gabriella off guard.

"Umm.. Ok." Gabriella said, still startled.
"I love you too Bolton so no worries." she giggled.

-------------------------------------

Troy was dribbling the ball, sweat pouring down his face. Kevin was the one guarding him and it was sure hard and aggressive but he managed.

"Bolton, how's Gabriella?" Kevin asked with a smirk.

"Don't go near her or I'll seriously kill you." Troy said, glaring at Kevin.

"Oh? I'm so scared. You can't even go past me in basketball." Kevin teased as Troy did a fake right and turned to left, taking a sure shot.

"What we're you saying Kenzy (Kevin's last name)?" Troy smiled as Kevin dangerously glared at him.

"That's it for now! Go get your stinky butts in the shower!" The coach yelled as everyone went.

After Troy was clean again, he headed towards the benches where his drink was and waited for Gabriella. Her class doesn't finish in another 10 minutes so he decided to just wait. Everyone were already gone except for him and Kevin.

"What do you want Kevin?" Troy snapped angrily.

"To be honest, I just want my girlfriend back." Kevin said as Troy glared at him.

"Gabriella is not your girlfriend. Just stay away from us!" Troy almost yelled.

"Its kinda hard since I'm in your basketball team." Kevin laughed evilly.

"Look here man, I love Gabriella and I don't want you near her." Troy threatened as Kevin kept the smirk on his face.

"Whatever. Enjoy your drink!" Kevin said, heading out the door. He took one final glance and the last thing he saw was Troy drinking his bottle, bringing an evil smile on his face. Troy had no idea that his drink contained alcohol. Strong alcohol.

Out of nowhere, a figure walked towards Troy. He couldn't even point out who or how the person looked like because his mind was absolutely unclear.

"Hi baby!" Samantha, Troy's ex said seductively. Troy who didn't know a thing, smiled drunkenly.

"Hey cutie!" Troy replied, out of his mind. Samantha took advantage of Troy's condition and quickly pressed her lips on hers just as Gabriella walked in. Troy who was oblivious kissed back.

"Troy?" Gabriella said softly as tears ran down her face.

"Who the hell are you?" Troy asked, turning to face Gabriella who was absolutely shocked. The memories of Troy not remembering her and the promise of not forgetting her just the day before, all flooded back.

"W--what's going on?" Gabriella asked and unconsciously stopped breathing.

"Can't you see? Its over. Troy wants me back." Samantha smirked as Troy just nodded. Gabriella didn't stay for very long and dashed outside as fast as her feet could.

"He broke his promise! I hate him! He told me he won't forget! Why is he doing this to me?!" Gabriella thought as she continued to run to her car.

"I want to forget him!!" Gabriella screamed painfully. She knew that both Samantha and Troy still heard her.

----------------------------------------

The next morning was Saturday thankfully, but Troy sure wasn't up for a bright day. His head was spinning way fast for his liking and he couldn't steady his sight. He sat up but quickly fell back on the bed.

"Ahhh!! Where the hell did I get this headache from?! What happened?!" Troy asked no one in particular.

"I don't know. Why don't you tell me Troy?!" Chad exclaimed angrily as he sat on Gabriella's empty bed.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Troy asked, confused than ever.

"Stop pretending Troy. Damn it! I can't believe you did that!" Chad screamed, standing up and walking back and forths.

"Did what?!" Troy asked, also getting angry at his best friend's sudden reaction.

"Figure it out!" Chad yelled and stormed out.
"What's going on? Where's Gabi?" Troy stood up and finally regained his balanced. He headed to the bathroom and took a long refreshing shower.

After an hour, Troy headed to Sharpay's apartment since she figured that everyone would be there, like always.

"Hey guys!" Troy said cheerfully ignoring Chad's behaviour before. He plopped on the bed and scanned through the crowd.

"Where's Gabriella?" Troy asked confusedly.

"I don't know. Maybe she's on her way back to Albuquerque." Taylor snapped.

"WHAT!! Why is she there?" Troy yelled.

"Why shouldn't she be there? Troy you freakin broke her hear, you a!" Sharpay exclaimed.

"How did I? What did I do?!!!" Troy asked desperately.

"Don't you remember anything at all? You indirectly broke up with her since she saw you making out with your ex which is now your girlfriend!!!" Taylor yelled furiously.

"WHAT?!!! When the hell did that happen?!!" Troy asked, putting his shoes on, ready to run to the airport.

"Try yesterday Troy." Chad said, glaring at him. Troy thought for a moment and finally, everything went back. He told them about everything and how his drink contained alcohol.

"Oh, Damn it!" Troy exclaimed furiously as he dashed to the door.

"Where are you going?" Kelsi asked.

"I'm going to the airport!! Where else?" Troy said but Zeke just held him back.

"Troy, she left last night." Jason told him sadly.

"Can't we call her?" Troy asked.

"You can try but I bet her phone is off." Taylor said, feeling sorry for his friend now who looked like he was gonna cry any second.

Troy paced back and forth for the hundred time. He kept calling but Gabriella's phone was off.

"Damn it man! What the hell did I do?!" Troy said as he threw the phone to the wall but luckily, Zeke caught it before it crash into tiny pieces.

"Don't worry. Everything will be ok. She said, she just needed time to talk to her mother. She'll be back Troy." Taylor reassured her friend.

"How do you know for sure?" Troy asked miserably.

"I don't." Taylor mumbled.

"Gabi will call once she get there. Let's just wait and.. Watch TV." Sharpay said as they turned on the news.

The News

"News flash. Flight 213 crashed last night on its way to Albuquerque. Unfortunately, it is said that there were no survivors in the crash." The reporter announced sadly.

Everything went dead silent except for Troy who didn't have a clue why.

"Oh my gosh!!!" Taylor said as her breathing became weak.

"What's wrong?" Troy asked, puzzled.

"Did they just say Flight 213?" Sharpay asked, not wanting to believe what she just heard.

"They didn't right? Tell me they didn't!!" Kelsi said, crying on Jason's shoulder.

"Why is everyone going all sad? I'm bloody confused here already!!" Troy asked, getting angry by the minute.

"Troy… that's…" Chad tried to stay calm but he couldn't. His shoulder was slumping and his eyes were beginning to turn red.

"That's what Chad? Someone tell me!!" Troy yelled.

"That's Gabriella's flight Troy…. She's … gone." Taylor choked out as Troy stared at them blankly.

That was the exact moment when Troy Bolton's world stopped spinning….
