Chad's P.O.V.

"Let me get this straight..." I said pacing across Troy's living room. I just left Gabi's because Taylor said there was an emergency basketball practice.

"You said there was an emergency basketball practice to get me to come over to Troy's to give me some lame-ass story to get him to forgive us?!" I screamed, still pacing.

"Ok, Chad David Danforth! Listen to and listen well. If you don't hear him out I swear we are OVER! It's that important! I love you hun! I really do, but you really need to hear this. Ok?" Tay asked.

"All right, fine! Tay you know I love you, right? I didn't even realize I was yelling." I said and pulled her next to me on the couch.

"Yeah I know sweetie. Just listen to him, ok?" she asked and I nodded.

"Ok, Chad, I know I've treated you all like crap. I know what I did and I'm sorry. This whole thing got out of control. I know you think I broke up with Gabi because I liked someone else more, but that's not the truth..." Troy started.

"Normally, I would walk out the door right now, but I'm curious. Please continue to tell us why you treated all of us like shit." I said with attitude.

"I wanted to...to...propose, to Gabriella, not Cindi of course. But I thought we were just too young and she would say no. But every time we were together I had to try so hard to resist asking. I was hoping spending some time away from her would calm the feelings. I know I did this all the wrong way. I also know that I treated you all like crap and I want to apologize, Gabriella hates me. I can't blame her, and I can't blame you guys either. If you want you can punch me again, I deserve it. I just wanted to tell you that, and also tell the rest of the guys, Sharpay, and Kelsi. That's all I ask even though I don't even deserve that much." He said. I couldn't believe my ears.

"I think I'm having a hearing problem, did Troy just say what I think he just said or am I hallucinating?" I asked, I was slightly panicked something was wrong with me.

"Chad, he's serious. I know we've all been treated like crap but we're all like family. Families fight don't they?" Taylor asked.

"Yes, but...I don't know this is just a shock. Wow." I said my eyes open wide now.

"Chad, I'm really sorry, for everything. I really want you to forgive me but if you can't I understand. I wouldn't forgive myself." Troy said.

"I can't say I understand your methods but I have to forgive you. We're like family right?" I asked and gave him a "man hug" as Tay calls it.

"Thanks man. I really don't know what I'd do without you." He said.

"I know, and trust me, I've missed my best friend." I said and smiled.

"Ok, not that I don't like this whole forgiveness shit, we've got to get the rest of the gang. We have some matchmaking to do!" Tay said excitedly.

"Thanks Taylor. Thanks for listening to my rant a second time too. I'm sure it was pretty boring." Troy said and gave her a hug as well.

"Hey there! Hands off my woman!" I said defensively. They both laughed. Taylor let go of Troy and gave me a kiss, short but sweet.

"No worries hun, you know I love ya!" Tay said.

"Yes, I do. By the way...love you too." I said, we were leaning in for another kiss when we were interrupted by Troy, "As much I love you guys, that is sick and wrong! Please get a room!"

"Let's just get this plan in action," I said, "I'll call Jase and Zeke, Tay you call Sharpay and Kelsi." She nodded and flipped out her sidekick typing rapidly.

"I don't know how they do that." I said to Troy referring to Taylor's typing.

"Beats me!" he said confused as well.

A.N. Hey! I'm promising one more update today after this one. I'm not sure if it will be now or tonight...depends what time I get the reviews. I'm going to the movies in a half hour so if I get reviews by then I'll put up the next chapter. Thanks!

P.S. You will meet Cindi, but not as what you think...
