Love. A power so strong that Gabriella hadn't felt it until she was 23. A feeling that burned her skin everytime she'd felt it. Hate. A power so strong Gabriella hadn't felt it until she was 21. A feeling that stung her skin everytime she'd felt it. A hero. That one person who gave her that love. Troy Bolton. Love and Hero. All Gabriella needed in life. Theo, Love, and a hero.

Gabriella got dressed while Troy was still in the bathroom. She put on a simple, yet elegent dress and wrote Troy a small note explaining her whereabouts.


Troy,

Hey baby! Going to my mum's with your son! I hope she doesn't choke me when she get's a glance at our little creation...I really do! Don't worry though...and...

I L-O-V-E Troy Bolton!

-Gabriella Montez


Troy smiled. 'Your son'. My son. He was a dad. Hold on...HE'S A DAD!!!! It had just hit him...he had a son! It really didn't want one, he didn't need one, he still loved him. Though, somehow, a match was being held under Troy's heart...he was slowly...getting angrier and angrier at Gabriella. She hadn't told him over 5 years. He had every right in the world. He could get mad and throw a fit over it. But there was a reason Gabriella had chosen him to be her hero. He wasn't immature. Stubborn. Trevor. She had always loved him...she had always... In Troy's mind, 'always' was pretty long. He didn't know that 'always' was a gift. He would always have Gabriella at his side, or would he...? He glanced at a picture placed perpendiculary across him. A smiling Gabriella was there, reading a book. She always had a book with her. Her hair blowed in the wind, as Troy snapped many pictures.

"Troy! Enough with the camera! I want to read my book. P...lease!" Gabriella pleaded with a sigh of annoyance.

"But I want your beauty with me always..." Troy joked as he snapped one, last picture and sat next to Gabi, his former girlfriend.

Always. At all times. Forever. At any rate. Would he save her life when she needed him to? Would he jump in front of the bullet, just so she didn't have a scartch on her? He would. He was her hero. He had to do that. Love. A power so strong, it controlled Troy's heart. It said: Always.

Gabriella went to her mother's home. Her same car sat parked outside. Gabriella knocked at the door, her mom, with a disarrayed figure and hand motion, let Gabriella in. Gabi sat on the coach, as so did Theo.

"So Gabriella...why are you here?" Rose (Gabi's mom) asked, trying to pull back her long strands of hair, so her face was visible.

"Umm...my ex was abusive, so I came to live with--,

"Troy!" Rose screamed angrily,

"What's wrong with him?"

"You ran away and got pregnant!!! That's what's wrong that boy! Whay couldn't you fall in love with someone who was HISPANIC?!!!" Rose yelled, Theo started to cry, Gabi ran out of the door, but in a twick, she heard,

"Run like you always do! You aren't my daughter anymore! Whore!" Rose yelled, and all GAbi could think about was that last staement...
