Gabriella came downstairs that night. and began pouring cereal, and there was a knock on the door. she continued pouring and then stopped and walked over to open the door to find Austin. she froze, "w-what are you doing here?" she froze, and he came in, "are your parents home?" he smirked. "N-No.." she stammered walking backwards. "then let's have some fun..." he tried to grab her and she slapped him, and he pushed her on the floor. "leave me alone!" she screamed, and she got up and ran up the stairs as he chased her, and she locked her bedroom door, and got her cell phone out, calling Troy.

Austin kicked the door, banged on it, Gabriella let out a yelp. Her phone seeming to dial Troy's number slowly and then ring. When the ringing picked up, his voice was on the other end, from the noise in the background it didn't seem like he was home yet. "Brie Brie?" he asked, "what's wrong?" bang! Gabriella yelped, she clutched the phone tight in her hand and looked around her bedroom to hide, her eyes landed on her bathroom door. She sprinted to it and locked it behind her, then she hid in the shower, shutting the door and making sure that there was a towel hanging on it. Troy's voice came through again, sounding more worried, "Brie, hello? What's wrong? I don't mean to sound like a stalker, but I just made a U turn and am on my way, now what's wrong?" his voice was frantic. "Troy...A-Austin must have followed us...he's here..and he won't leave..." Troy knew he had to get to her house now, "I'm coming brie!" he hung up and he pounded his foot on the gas pedal.

With Gabriella she was still hiding in the shower, tears falling from her eyes, and covering her mouth. Austin began looking in her room, and couldn't find her. then he saw the bathroom door and smirked, he then began busting the door down. Gabriella yelped quitely as he did this and then the door slammed down and he came in, and he opened the curtain and he pulled her up, and began pulling her hair. she whimpered in pain and he threw her on the bed slapping her across the face multiple times. "It's my turn to have you now baby, Bolton can't save you now.." he began kissing her all over and she began crying, "Troy..." she whispered. Troy wasn't sure if parking the car half on the curb and half on the Montez' grass was legal or not, but he really didn't give a flying fudge right now. He was seething, he opened the door and heard the screams coming from Gabriella's room, he ran up there and bolted through the door, seeing Gabriella...underneath that son of a bitch Austin Butler (lol) he growled and ran over, grabbing by his curly hair and then grasping his throat, "I thought I told you. to. leave her alone!" he yelled, banging his head against the wall and then stuffing his head in the drawer of Gabriella's desk. Gabriella whimpered, getting from the bed and wrapping an arm around Troy's elbow, pulling gently, "Troy come on...let's go...come on..."

Troy pulled her off, "Gabi, I'm not done with him!" he pulled him out of the drawer and kicked him in the private. Austin groan and fell to the ground. "now, get out of here! and don't come back here and don't come near her again, or you'll have me to deal with!" Troy picked him up by the colar, "get the hell out of here!" he pushed him away and Austin glared at him, and walked out the door and left. Gabriella came over to him and hugged him, "Thank you for coming back." she looked into his eyes as she pulled away from him...she loved his eyes. Troy hugged her close, never letting go. "Brie..." he whispered, moving a tress of brown hair behind her ear. "I think it'd be safe if I stayed with you tonight." she heard her head scream at her 'no!' it was screaming all the reason why he shouldn't stay, but then her heart, was screaming at her for another reason, and her heart was much louder. She smiled small, and nodded her head, Troy smiled and kissed her cheek, he wouldn't do anything, he wasn't like that, "I'll take the floor, and uh...you of course take the bed."

Gabriella nodded, "ok, Thank you...i'll go get you some blankets and pillows. she went down the hall into the closet as he sat on her bed and she came back with 2 blankets and 4 pillows, with an air mattress. "so you could be more comfortable..." she smiled, and he smiled back, "Thanks Brie...wheres your parents tonight?" he asked her. "There away for 2 weeks with the family...I didn't wanna go...I would feel weird you know.." he nodded in understanding, "yeah I get it." hey layed on the mattress, "goodnight." he smiled, and she smiled back, "Goodnight." she got into bed and turned the lamp off.

later that night, it was around 3am, and Gabriella woke up to get a drink of water. she had forgotten troy was on the floor and she tripped over the mattress. "Ow!" Gabriella said in a harsh whisper, Troy awoke startled and saw Gabriella rubbing her calf it wasn't broken but there'd be a nasty bruise on it. Troy smirked and got on his knees, "are you okay?" he asked, Gabriella looked at him, glaring, but she couldn't help but laugh. Those eyes, she thought, feeling the butterflies in her tummy. "I just tripped...yeah kind of forgot you were uh here...sorry." Troy laughed, "it's fine seriously, but let's check that leg...does it hurt?" he started tenderly pressing his fingers against the skin, his touch was warm and it send tingly warm chills up her spine and through her veins.

she looked at him, "no, it doesn't.." she smiled and he smiled looking into her eyes, and he helped her up. "are you comfortable?" she asked leaning against her bed. "yeah a little.." he smiled and she smiled and then all of a sudden, their lips were attach and were passionately kissing, Troy's hands wrapped around her waist and her arms around his neck, and her hands going down to his chest as they fell on the bed kissing each other. Gabriella wanted him, maybe if they made love, maybe It would bring some more flashbacks. Troy rolled on to his back, holding on to Gabriella's waist and placing his thumbs under her pajama shirt, like when he was examining her leg, his touch was warm and it sent electric sparks all over her body. They were...red hot. Gabriella trailed her hands down his chest-not breaking the kiss, in fact making it more passionate as she started to rock her lower body over his. He groaned into the kiss and mumbled, 'ride me ride me' she giggled and let her hands finish exploring, they stopped at the button to his jeans. Becoming...hesitant, did she...want this? Her body did that's for sure. Her lower body seemed to have it's own mind as it began rotating in a clock wise position making Troy's...manhood slowly extend and stand like an erect soldier.

Troy rolled ontop of her, "are you sure about this Gabi...?" he asked her, she nodded, "It could work...It could help bring some memories back..." she smiled and he kissed her and began making trails of kisses from her chest down to her belly button then folding down the top of her pajama pants and letting them slide down her legs, then she kicked them off. then he kicked off his jeans that were already lose on him. she then looked at him and smirked, "shirt off." and she slipped off his shirt and threw it on the floor, and he smiled and reattached his lips to hers, and sliding his hands under her back, as he kissed her up and down her neck. She moaned lightly, wrapping her legs around his waist and rubbing his chest with her hands. Troy groaned, kissing her neck, biting the skin softly but hard enough to leave a bite. She groaned loudly and pulled at the hairs at the nape of his neck, "Troy..." she moaned, lulling her head back and causing Troy to buck his hips once into her.

They were completey naked, and he began coming into her. she gasped at first, but loving the feeling of him in her. she let her nails dig into his skin on his back leaving some red marks. Troy moaned louder. he loved her. this was amazing to him. and this was probably the most amazing time with her. they could not go back to being friends after this...there was no way in hell. Gabriella was falling inlove with him all over again. she loved him. "I love you Troy.." she moaned out.

Troy collapsed on top of her, his heart rate sped up and a sheen of sweat lining his skin. He closed his eyes and played with a tip of her hair, kissing her earlobe. "I love...you to...Briella," he said, his voice fading with fatigue, Gabriella sighed contentedly, a smile on her face as she laid Troy's head on her bear breasts, she kissed the top of his head and played with his hair. "I can feel your heart beat," she whispered, her mind suddenly going to ...well, she hoped it was a memory.

(Flashback)

"Mom, I don't want to move...what about my friends...about Troy?" tears brimmed her eyes and she shook her head because she didn't want to have her mom see her cry. "Mija, please...the move could be really-" Gabriella cut her off, "I DON'T WANT TO GO! I'M STAYING WITH TROY!"

(End Of Flashback)

Gabriella's mind came back and she was now laying on Troy's chest, and Troy was rubbing her back, "That was amazing Brie..." he kissed her forhead, and she snuggled into him. "it was... I love you Troy.." she smiled looking up at him. and he wrapped his arms around her. "I love you too Brie.." then they let sleep over come them.

The Next Morning, Gabriella woke up to find Troy's arm around her waist, she turned to see him laying on his stomach, shirtless, but he had a smile on his face, with his nose nuzzled against her hair. Gabriella then started to remember about last night... and she regretted it... she had now regret having sex with Troy, she wanted to take it all back...but why? it was amazing, but she wanted to take it back. Troy woke up, and sat up smiling at her, "hey, Good Morning." he smiled and tried to kiss her, "Troy last night was a mistake... I'm sorry... let's just forget anything ever happened and still be friends, ok.." she got up and put some clothes on. Gabriella walked over to her closet, and quickly got dressed. troy stood there shock, and he looked over at her, "what do you mean it was a mistake? brie, last night was amazing!" he said, she came over, "It was a mistake, ok Troy.." she sighed, and he looked at her, "You told me you loved me.." he spoke out. "It was all a mistake, ok.. let's pretend nothing happened, ok..nothing happened.."

"We can't pretend Brie," Troy said walking over to her and gently taking hold of her shoulders. "We had sex...made love, its done, we did it...we can't be 'just friends' there's no way in fudging hell we can be 'just friends'" his eyes were stern, and his face was impassive, Gabriella felt her lips tremble and her eyes water. She shook her head, "It's done yes...but...it was a-" "No it wasn't Brie, get that through to you, it wasn't a mistake and you said it first." Her eyes locked with his, "What'd I say?" Troy groaned, but it sounded like a growl and he subconsciously gripped her shoulders tighter, "you said you loved me...those aren't just words on a page Gabriella, you have to mean them." It was silent for several hours, well it was minutes but it felt like hours; Gabriella shook her head and felt one tear slide down her cheek as she shoved her way out of Troy's arms and holding her clothes to her chest, as she turned to go into her bathroom. Before she walked in, "Well..." her voice shook and was thick with tears. "I d-didn't mean them...at all." she walked into her bathroom, leaving Troy behind her, tears of his own sliding down his face. But he refused to let her see him cry...it's why they were perfect for each other.
