And here it is! Chapter 7! I know it's short, but I'll probably have another chapter up (or two, depending on my muse) later today so I guess that will make up for it! :)

Please R&R

Credits for some of the Troy dialogues goes to Kellie aka Corbin's Girl.

Original Plot Idea from my HSM RP site

I do NOT own ANY HSM just the plot for this story

Gabriella had awoken sleepily from her comatose sleep to the feeling of breathing on her neck and shoulder, and to the sound of soft snoring. She opened her eyes trying to realize where she was and what she was doing there, feeling her head heavy and aching... When Gabriella had woken up a bit more, she blinked trying to adjust her vision in the darkness of the room, trying to understand what time it was and also trying to regain composure and remember what exactly happened the previous night. She turned her head and when she saw Troy sleeping next to her she bit her lip hard, putting a huge effort not to groan or shout loudly when she suddenly remembered every single thing that happened. Exhaling deeply, Gabriella rested her head back on the pillow, trying to work out whether she should get up and leave, or try to sleep again. She didn't mind which one it was going to be, as long as she managed to avoid an awkward confrontation with Troy once they were both awake. And the discussion she knew was to come and was dreading.

Deciding in favor of the first option she carefully sat up, trying not to wake him. Gabriella squirmed as her eyes came in contact with the rays of sun that were peeking from the window blinds, unshielded by the curtains. Gabriella's attempt to sit up was diminished when she remembered the strong arms that were encasing her body. Her naked body. She remained still for a while and clutched the sheet at her chest even more. She waited a bit to make sure that Troy hadn't woken up and she wriggled in attempt to free herself from his warm and strong embrace. When she finally managed to do it, she slipped off the bed and quickly found her underwear putting them on before she went in a quest for the rest of her clothes, trying to be quiet the whole time. She managed to find them and after putting her jeans, and top on and taking her shoes in hand she made her way quickly to the door. But stopped...

It just wasn't like her to leave like that without an explanation...She needed to get some things straight. He deserved an explanation! She looked around her for a piece of paper and maybe a pen and thankfully it didn't take her too long to find one. She tucked a piece of hair behind her ear and started writing

I'm sorry... I can't. Please don't hate me... Pretend that it never happened, or take it as the closing of a chapter. A way of finishing, unfinished business. Gabriella.

Gabriella left the paper on the pillow where her head was resting a while ago and quietely left the room heading downstairs. She found her jacket and purse and took them, before putting her shoes on, and getting out of the house... She had to go get her car from the club and then head back home...

This past meeting with Gabriella had been amazing. He never thought that he was going to be able to do that again with her. Granted she was drunk and probably wouldn't remember a thing when she woke up but at least he could say that he had sex with Gabriella again. But the more he thought about it, the more he realized that she did to her fiance what he did to her when they were dating. It made Troy feel bad but right now he was so out of it that he didn't care about anything but sleep.

Troy eventually fell asleep, his arms around Gabriella. In the middle of the night, Troy woke up to go to the bathroom. He got out of bed and he did his business. When he came back to bed, he watched Gabriella for a bit. When they were dating, back in high school, Troy loved to watch her sleep. She always looked so peaceful. Troy yawned and settled back down next to her, his arms going around her waist.

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

It was around nine thirty in the morning when Troy eventually woke up. He went to wrap his arms around Gabriella to tell her good morning when he realized that she wasn't there. All he felt was the sheet, an empty spot where her body was previously laying at. Troy's eyes shot open and he looked around, as he sat up, everything a little fuzzy. He knew that she was there when he went to bed but now she wasn't and that confused him. Troy rubbed the sleep out of his eyes before he looked next to him to see a note on the pillow. Troy picked it up and he read it.

Troy read it over and over again. He had almost memorized the few words in the paper, but it was like he wasn't getting what was written on it. He was just staring at it blankly trying to relaize if this was true or if it was yet another one of his nightmares... He couldn't believe that she had left him. Troy felt like his heart had been ripped out of his chest. Again. Troy felt tears in his eyes but he did not let them fall. Troy Bolton never cried, often anyway. Troy wouldn't cry, at least not right now. He couldn't believe that she couldn't do this. That she couldn't give him another chance after what happened last night. That she couldn't give THEM a chance! Troy was determined to win her back. He had to win her back. There was no way he was letting that guy marry HID Gabriella. No matter what happened she would ALWAYS be his! There was no way. Over his dead body. If there was a guy Gabriella was going to marry that was him and only him. No one else

Troy got out of bed and went in the shower. He was planning on visiting Gabriella. He was going to force her to comnfront him. He was going to prove to her that he was sorry about what happened in college. He was going to prove to her that he is better then her fiance. That he loved her more than him, he loved hom with all his heart. He was going to make her his wife, even if it took him years to get her to say yes and to the alter to say 'I do.' One thing was for sure, Troy Bolton was not going to let Gabriella Montez marry the guy she was planning on marrying...
