I woke up the next morning smelling eggs and bacon. I changed from my pajamas and walked down stairs to see everyone there but Troy.

"Good morning Mrs. Bolton, Mr. Bolton." I said sitting at the island. "Where's Troy?"

"The bone head is still sleeping." Mr. Bolton said. "If you would like you can go and wake him up." As he said that I couldn't help but smile and think about the ways I could do this.

"I think I can do that." I said getting up and walkign up the stairs to Troy's room. I turned the handel and slowly pushed open the door. I stood at the foot of his bed and watch his chest move up and down for a moment before I walked of to the side of the bed and leaned down close to him.

"Fire." I yelled as loud as I could in his ear. He threw the blanket it off of him and sat up it the blink if a light. I couldn't help but laugh as he looked around the room and his eyes landed me and he did not look happy.

"Oh so you think that was funny do you?" He said getting up for the bed and I realized for the first time he was only wearing boxers. I looked him up and down and wanted so bad to touch his chest.

"Yes, actually I thought it was." I said between laughs. He started after me and I ran down the stairs. His parents had relocated to the living room so I ran aroung the island. When Troy was about to catch up his father walked in and we both stopped.

"You know you two act like a buch of five year olds." He said and I couldn't help but blush. "Why don't you two go up and get ready for your day." As me and Troy walked back up the stairs Troy kept poking me in the back.

"Would stop it?" I said turning around and laughing at him.

"Fine." He said putting his hands up and walking to his room. I walked to mine and did my make up and hair. As I walked back down the stairs Mr and Mrs. Bolton yelled for me to come in the living room.

"Gabriella, could we please talk to you." Mrs. Bolton said in a soft voice that made me nervouse.

"Yes." I said sitting on the couch.

"Gabi, me and Jack have talked about this long and hard and we have decided that we would be honourd to turn the guest room to your room." She finished with smile.

"Are you serious?" I said with a huge smile as they nodded. I leaped up and hugged the two of them. "Thank you so much." I said backing away from them. "Does Troy know?" I asked.

"No, we thought you could be the one to tell him." Mr. Bolton said. "He is outside waiting for you." He said before I turned to walk out the door.

(Meanwhile

"Jack come look at this." Mrs. Bolton said looking out her kitchen window.

"What?"

"Look." She said pointing out the window. "They look so happy together."

"I know, I just wish Troy would tell Gabi how he feels. She is great for him." Jack Bolton said looking out to Troy and Gabriella.

"Ya, I just they would realize how much they really love each other."

(Gabriella's POV)

Once I opened the door Troy looked in my direction with a worried look. He gave me a look that said 'Well, can you stay?' At that moment I ran to him and he opened his arms, cought me, and twirled me in the air.

"So...you can stay?" He said in a questionly manor.

"Yes, they said I could stay." I said as he hugged me close to him and I leaned into his shoulder.

"So, what are you doing today?" He asked me when we pulled away from the hug.

"I don't know, you?" I asked.

"Well, I tink we should go get your car."

"What are you tired of being my driver?" I said looking up at him.

"No, no, its not that, I just thought you would want to drive yourself around thats all." He said getting a little defensive.

"Troy, chill, I was just kiding, and ya, we could go my car." I said as we headed to his car. "Do you think this is ok?" I said breaking the silence when we were almost to my house.

"What?" He said keeping his eyes on the road.

"Taking the car."

"Its yours." He said looking at me with a funny look.

"Ya, but my parents gave it to me...it doesn't feel right." I said looking out the window avoiding eye contact with him.

"Do be crazy, your parents would want you to have it." He said pulling into the driveway.

"Ya probably." I said getting out of the car and getting my keys out of my purse. I got in the car and took a deep breath. I know I was over reacting, but it did feel alittle wrong.

(Troy's POV)

When I woke up the next morning, I walked down and ate a bowl of cereal. I sat staring at the bowl thinking. Today was the day. I was going to tell Ella how I feel. I was going to take her to dinner and maybe a movie and I was going to tell her.

(Gabriella's POV)

When I woke up the next morning it was the the shrilling ring of my cell next to my head. I looked at the clock and saw that is was 6:45 in the morning.

"Whoever is calling me at this time of the morining, sure as hell better have a good reason as to why." I said sleepishly into the phone.

"Wow, is that how you always answer your phone?" The voice said on the other line. My eyes widened as I realized who was calling.

Well I hoped everyone like, and again I am really sorry about the wait. Please review and tell me what you think.

Up next - The funeral (but it does not play a big part really. Weird her parents die and the funeral isnt big, but oh well, it didn't really fit in the story, lol)

Also...I have a few questions.

1) Should the phone call be from a far away relative that wants to take Gabriella from Albuquerque, and Troy. Or should it be Taylor, asking Gabriella to the mall, keeping her from hearing Troy's confession.

2) Another, I have been few difficulties trying to figure this one out. Should Gabriella make Taylor go to the bar and get completely wasted, causing Taylor to call Troy because she cant handle Gabriella. Or should Troy do something stupid causeing Gabriella to do something stupid that would make her confess her love towards Troy.
