Disclaimer: So, don't own anything, especially the song.
Claimer: Just the normal.
Feedback: Yes, please with whipped cream, sprinkles, and caramel on top. =)
Rating: T…I think.
Characters: The WC's (the Wildcats)
Pairings: Troyella (duh) and um my other normal couples.
Setting: In the future, not sure when in the future.
Summary: Loosely basked on Nickelback's song "Far Away" and the music video for it. So, Troy's a firefighter and he and Gabriella are married and expecting while she's a teacher at the Math and Head Volleyball coach at East High while being the co-teacher and supervisor in the drama department with Sharpay. Sorry the summary sucks.
Story thought of: December 13, 2009.
Finished: December 13, 2009.
Author's Note: Well, okay...first let me explain myself with this one okay, guys? This story has been stuck in my head since I watched the "Far Away" music video and the song while doing homework and I just can't think of anything, but this story…or one shot. Which brings me to my next question for you because it all depends on you and your reviews: Should I or should I not make a story out of this or maybe just give the same title, but make it more…realistic (?) with instead of Troy being a firefighter, he's a soldier and you know away at Iraq…but this is by you guys (If you guys want this, feel free to PM so, you can through ideas at me). Love you all!
Merry Christmas!

//This time, this place
Misused, mistakes
Too long, too late
Who was I to make you wait//
"Wildcat, stop," the young woman said with a smile and a soft giggle as her husband, "Wildcat", was on his knees in front of her, taking pictures of her as he smiled with pure joy at her.
"Shh, you," he just replied with a soft smile as he used his one hand to bring her…well, his white T shirt up so, the seven month round tanned baby bump showed.
"Did you just tell me to 'Shh'?" She asked her husband with another giggle as he started to make a short movie of it as she tried to pull the red comforter and gold satin sheets up to cover her blushing face.
"I'll stop, I'll stop," her husband told her as he set the camera down before he crawled into bed on his side so, he could cuddle with her.
"Thank you," the wife replied, kissing her husband's lips.
"Your welcome," he told her, kissing her lips before she said, "And you do realize I had a purpose to take those pictures, right?"
"Yeah, to embarrass me and use them as blackmail."
"No," he told her with a shake of his head before he placed a soft kiss on her forehead and gave her the real answer, "It's because it's got to go in our Expecting Baby Number One Photo Album."
"Oh, that's right," she murmured and smiled at him before rolling over and getting into the nightstand drawer, pulling out a blue book before closing it and rolling back over to face her husband.
He just smiled at her and began to look through it with her, starting with her first week pictures all the way up to her six month pictures that would soon be joined by her seven month pictures. Ever since, Troy Alexander Bolton and his beautiful wife, Gabriella Marie Bolton, found out they were expecting their first child, they were beyond thrilled, they were…there's probably not a word to describe it.
"I can't wait until we can fill the actual baby book up, can you?" Gabriella, his first love along with being his high school and college sweetheart, asked her first love and high school and college sweetheart.
"No, I can't," Troy agreed with her before placing a kiss to her temple and then adding, "I wish he was here now, to tell you the truth."
"So, do I, Wildcat, so do I," She told him before their lips met in a sweet, love filled kiss.
//Just once chance, just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
Cause you know
You know, you know//
"Mm, don't answer it," Gabriella told Troy as they heard his cell phone go off.
"You know I can't do that, Baby, it might be the department," her husband, who was a firefighter for the East High Fire Department, told her, picking up his cell phone and began to talk with the person, sitting up as he did so while she laid back against the pillows and ran her hand up and down his muscular back.
"Yeah, I'm on my way," Troy replied before hanging up the phone, turning to look at his wife, who just sighed and turned away. Sighing, he said, "Come on, Baby, don't be like that, you know I have too. It's my job."
"I know, I know…it's just," she began, but couldn't bring herself to finish it.
"Don't worry, I'll be safe and home before you know it," Troy told her before kissing her and then once pulling back he said, "I love you, Mrs. Bolton."
"I love you, Mr. Bolton," Gabriella replied as she watched him quickly put on his shoes and grab his yellow fireman's jacket and duffel bag that contained the rest of his stuff.
"The gang's and our parents' are on they're way over, okay?" he told her before he walked out of their bedroom.
"Okay," Gabriella told him before saying, "Troy?"
"Yeah, Baby?"
"Little Troy says he loves you too and that you're suppose to come home to us safe and sound," Gabriella told him, tears brimming in her chocolate brown eyes.
"Don't worry I will, I love you both," Troy told the mother of his unborn baby boy with a soft smile.
Gabriella put on her best soft smile and blew him a kiss which he caught and acted like he was gonna shoot a basket with it, seeing as he was known in college and high school as Troy the Basketball Boy…
//That I love you, I have love you all along
And I miss you, been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go
Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore//
"Brie-Ella, you home?" Gabriella heard her best friend, Sharpay Anne Evans turned Sharpay Anne Baylor, ask as she walked into the young Bolton's house with her family that consisted of Zeke Lake Baylor (her husband) and their son Andre Troy Baylor, who was Gabriella's and Troy's god-son. Her twin brother, Ryan Joshua Evans and his wife Martha Lynn Evans, who was carrying their two year old twins, Lacy Ray and Rayna Marie Evans, walked in soon after.
"Yeah, I'm coming," Gabriella replied as she walked down the stairs dressed in a pair of Troy's basketball shorts and one of his black wife beaters, and red fuzzy slippers on her feet.
"BRIE-ELLA!" The blonde squealed as she moved to hug her best friend.
"Careful, Shar, she's pregnant," Ryan warned his sister, who instantly pulled away with an 'I'm so sorry' before letting everyone else hug her.
"Hey, guys," Gabriella greeted the Evans and Baylor family.
//On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
Cause with you I'd withstand
All of it to hold your hand//
"It's on every channel," Troy's best friend, Chad Nicholas Danforth, told the group of people that were sitting around the young Bolton's living room.
The group of people consisted of the Baylor's, Evans', Danforth's (which was Chad and his wife, Taylor Annabelle Danforth with their two year old son, Chad Nicholas Jr.), the Cross's (which consisted of Jason Allen Cross and his wife Kelsi Monique Cross and their beautiful bouncing baby girl, Tiffany Marie), Troy's parents (Jack and Lucille Bolton), and her parents (Greg and Inez Montez).
"Just pick one already," Gabriella told him as she laid with her head in her dad's lap on a pillow and her feet on her mom's lap, who was massaging them.
"Fine," Chad told them, and kept on the Albuquerque, New Mexico's news channel, ABQNM.
"As you can see behind me, all departments from the North, South, West and East divisions have been called to stop this destructive forest fire that you see behind me. You can also see a group of young firefighters getting in a helicopter to go a little father in where there is no fire, but a better way to access the fire to put it out," the news reporter for ABQNM said while behind her a massive forest fire raged on and surely a red helicopter was seen with firefighters getting in and being taken to the spoken of destination.
"Oh, God," Greg heard his daughter whisper as they watched the all the firefighters, one of them being Troy some where's, trying to put it out, while he continued to rub soothing circles on her back with one hand while the other continued to stroke her beautiful dark chocolate brown wavy hair.
//I'd give it all, I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
Cause you know
You know, you know//
"COME ON, LET'S GO! GET THAT HOSE OVER THERE!" Troy yelled once the helicopter landed him and his unit where the fire was the worst, but where they should be safe to start putting it out from the inside while others worked farther up from the fire and farther down from the fire.
"LET'S GO! YOU HEARD BOLTON!" A fellow firefighter yelled as he helped Troy get the unit moving, no matter how hard it was to breathe, even with the oxygen tanks, how hard they couldn't see, and how hot it was.
//That I love you, I have loved you all along
And I miss you, been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go
Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore//
"COME ON, BOLTON! IT'S LOST; WE CAN'T DO MUCH MORE HERE!" A fellow firefighter yelled at Troy, who wanted to continue to put it out as much as they could while finding the rest of his team, seeing as one was unaccounted for.
"NO! NOT UNTIL I FIND, SMITH!" Troy yelled back at them before adding, "YOU GUYS, GO AHEAD AND CALL THE COPTER!"
"BOLTON, NO! LET'S GO! COME ON!" They yelled back at him, but realized it was no use once he put his oxygen mask on and ran off, looking for their fellow lost firefighter.
//So far away, been far away for far too long
So far away, been far away for far too long
But you know
You know, you know//
Please, be safe, Baby, not only for me, but for your son, too, Gabriella thought as they all continued to sit in front of the flat screen TV, watching ABQNM who were still covering the forest fire.
"I'm gonna go put the kids down," Martha told them and moved with Ryan, Zeke, and Jason to put the kids down while the parents and Sharpay and Taylor continued to stay with Gabriella to give her comfort and support.
"He's gonna be okay, Sweetie, he's a fighter," Lucille told her daughter-in-law, with a soft smile even though she too, prayed that he was safe…and wasn't doing something heroic…or heroic enough that it could get him killed…
//I wanted
I wanted you to stay
Cause I needed
I need to hear you say//
After finding his fellow firefighter, Troy carried him back and then tried to yell towards his team, who were getting into the helicopter, "HEY! WAIT! COME ON!" and as the helicopter took off.
And the next thing he knew, he heard a noise before a burning black tree began to fall and it looked like it was falling towards him and the fallen firefighter and the last thing he thought was as he tried to move him and his fallen team mate away from it, I love you, Brie, and I'm sorry, I couldn't keep my promise…
//I love you, I have loved you all along
And I forgive you for being away for far too long//
"Hello?" Gabriella said as she picked up the cordless phone as it set on the coffee table after getting a horrible pain in her heart.
"Gabriella, it's Josh…" Gabriella heard.
"Josh…what's happened? Something's happened to Troy, I know it. I can feel it," Gabriella demanded, while everyone around the room now were on high alert.
"Gabi…Troy…he's…"
"He's not…" Gabriella started to ask, but couldn't bring herself to finish her question.
"We…don't know, he's missing, but listen, the fire's died down, Gabi, and we're going back in to see if we can…find him…okay? Don't get your hopes up, yet. We'll find him, okay?" Josh's voice asked her, but she didn't here anything because she dropped the phone after she was told they didn't know and that he was missing.
"Hello?" Jack said, picking up the dropped phone while Sharpay, Taylor, Lucille, Inez, and the rest moved to hug and comfort the shocked and heartbroken Filipina.
"Please, God, no. Please, God, no," they all heard her keep chanting as she rocked back and forth, all the while crying her eyes out, making the other's who, hadn't already shed their tears, start to shed them.
"Oh, Brie-Ella," Sharpay said as shed hugged her best friend and continued to rock her back and forth while the other's sought each other out for comfort, all crying for what could be the lose of their beloved Troy.
//So keep breathing 'cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it, hold on to me, never let me go//
"Brie-Ella, Honey, a red truck with flashing yellow lights and headlights is pulling up," Sharpay told her best friend as she looked out the living room window as he continued to rain.
"Oh, God," Gabriella said, knowing that that red truck could only mean one thing…they didn't find him. Oh God, she thought as tears started to fall again as she went to answer the door, standing in the doorway as three of Troy's fellow firefighters, got out and she noticed it was Josh Wilkins (who had informed her of her husband being missing), Brad Michaels, and their supervisor, Ben Calling.
Everyone, who was still there, moved to stand behind her and all gasped as someone else appeared carrying a black duffel bag.
"Oh, God," Gabriella whispered before she carefully flew down the stairs, down the sidewalk and…into her husband's arms.
"Hey, Brie," he whispered in her ear before they locked their lips in a passionate kiss, while he slowly picked her up and spun her around.
Gabriella giggled, breaking their kiss as she felt him pick her up bridal style so, they didn't hurt the seven month baby bump as they continued to bask in the joy of each other's arms.
"God, I thought I would never see you again," he told her before they began to kiss again.
"Don't ever do that to me again, Bolton. I don't know what I would have done if…" Gabriella told him as he set his forehead on hers, both forgetting that they were standing out in the pouring down rain at night with people around them.
"I won't, never again and I'm never letting you go again," he promised her.
"You mean?" She asked him, hope laced in her voice and eyes.
"Yeah," Troy told her before she pulled his head down so, they're lips connected in a passionate kiss again, both knowing they would never have to go through that again along with never having to let each other go, ever again.
//Keep breathing 'cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it, hold on to me, never let me go
Hold on to me, never let me go
Hold on to me, never let me go//
~ThE eNd~
Well, they're you all go. I hope you all enjoyed it, while I personally thought it down right sucked, but I just couldn't get it out of my head. So, um, tell me the truth, okay, guys? I love you all, XOXO.
Merry Christmas!
