Hey, y'all, what's up? What the heck, I'm not southern! I'm from New Jersey! And I'm not Miley Cyrus, either! I'm (insert name here)! Lol! I'm not so stupid as to say my real name. Anyway, it's time for the next chapter! Woohoo! So, last chapter's trivia question was:
Ashley Tisdale recently changed her hair color from bright blond to deep brown. Which one of the colors is her natural color, blond or brown?
The answer is brown! She actually dyed it blonde! I'm not sure why, but still! (wow, I say but still a lot lol) No one got it right, though. Why, oh why, oh why? Anyway, time for chapter 9...UNTIL YOU'RE MINE!!!!!! Yay!!! This one's really sweet, too. (WARNING!!!!!! MAY MAKE YOU CRY!!!!!!)

"I always knew it was you," Troy said. Gabriella smiled wide, and they slowly leaned in again. But…
"GABRIELLA CASEY MONTEZ!!!!"
Gabriella turned around to see Mrs. Evans standing in the doorway, not happy at all. In fact, she was absolutely furious.
"Yes, Mrs. Evans?" she asked as impolitely as possible.
"What are you doing, kissing him?"
"Why does it matter to you who I kiss?"
"Because that boy you were kissing just happens to be the prince! A girl like you shouldn't be kissing boys like that!"
"And why not?"
"Because you don't deserve him!"
Gabriella was shocked. She didn't deserve him? What? "Excuse me?" she asked in a meek voice.
"You don't deserve him. You're just a servant girl, nothing more."
"No, actually, I'm not just a servant girl. I'm much more than that. I have a mind, a body, and a soul. And I can decide who I kiss, and you have no control over that! I was the one that danced with Troy that night, you know that, and you're just gonna have to suck it up and deal with it! I love him and he loves me, and if you can't accept that, then fine!" By this time, Gabriella was in tears. She stormed downstairs, and out of the house. Troy looked after Gabriella and then turned back to Mrs. Evans.
"Do you realize what you've done?" he asked. "You've just demolished you're daughter's spirits! I don't know what you were thinking." And with that, Troy ran after Gabriella.
Gabriella was out the door by the time Troy caught up with her. When he finally did, he engulfed her in a huge bear hug. Gabriella cried into his chest while he stroked her hair carefully.
"Shh," Troy kept saying. "It's okay. I'm here."
Gabriella pulled away from the hug, but only to look at him. "Who does she think she is, telling me that I don't deserve you?!" a tear escaped from her eye. But Troy quickly leaned down and kissed it away. (A/N: borrowed/stole from Forever And Ever by moviemusicwritingbooksfreak)
"I don't know, but I do know that you shouldn't listen to anything she says. I love you, and that's all that matters."
"Do you really love me, Troy?"
"Of course I do. Ever since that night we danced together, I've been in love with you. I know it's not right for a prince to love a servant girl, but I don't care. I can be with whoever I want; no one should have a say in that."
"You really wanna be with me?"
"Yes. Yes I do. Why do you ask?"
"Because maybe she's right. Maybe I don't deserve you."
"No!" Troy shouted, wrapping her in another bear hug. "Don't say that! You shouldn't listen to anything she says." He let go of Gabriella and stared into her eyes, just inches from her face. "The only thing you should listen to is your heart. And what is your heart saying?"Gabriella wasn't sure. What was her heart saying? "My heart is saying that I love you."
"And that's all you need to know." And with that, Troy kissed her gently. Gabriella immediately relaxed with his touch. Afterwards, he slowly pulled away, the taste of his lips still on hers. "Stay with me tonight." he whispered in her ear with the exact same seductive tone that made her melt on that night.
"Yes," Gabriella said, not even thinking about what he had just offered. "God yes." (A/N: kinda borrowed/stole from Too Short A Time without You by Havah Kinny, but rewrote it a little. Basic concept though. Anyway…) "Wait a second, you want me to stay with you? In your castle?"
"Yes. Is that a problem?"
"No, I just…I don't know…Why?"
"Look," he lowered his voice. "I'm hosting a ball in a few days, and I want you to be there, but knowing that you would be living in these kind of conditions during that time would kill me. So I thought that, maybe, you could stay with me so I'd know you were safe."
"So I would stay with you for three whole days?"
"Probably yes. So, will you ?" Troy asked, giving her the "puppy dog face." "I also just need some company. It gets really lonely in there."
Gabriella couldn't resist his cuteness. "Okay," she said, smiling.
"Thank you." he said leading her to the carriage that was parked outside the house.
"Wait, what about my stuff?" she asked.
"Please. You won't need it." And he pulled her into the carriage, snuggling up close to her inside.

When they got to the castle, Troy stepped out first and offered Gabriella his hand. She took it gently and stepped out, too. Troy led her inside the castle.
"Wow," she said when they were inside. "It looks just like it did that night, only less people."
Troy laughed. "Yea it does." They both smiled, thinking about that memorable night they met. Then, Troy turned to her. "May I have this dance?" he asked, offering his hand and bowing to her with extravagant formality.
"But there's no music," she said, laughing.
"So?" he looked up at her, and Gabriella laughed again. "Well, then, of course you may," she replied, curtsied with the same extravagant formality that Troy had, and took his hand. They started dancing around, but it was nothing like that night. It was more fun. Eventually, they started running around and chasing each other, overall having a good time with the one they loved.

After their dance, Troy led Gabriella upstairs to a room. When they got there, she couldn't believe her eyes. It was absolutely huge; the biggest room she'd ever seen. Well, at least the biggest bedroom she'd ever seen. And she knew it was a bedroom because there was a huge bed in the center, probably the biggest bed she'd ever seen.
"WOW!!!!" Gabriella said when she saw it. "This is huge!"
"Do you like it?" Troy asked.
"Yes! This is so cool!" Gabriella rushed to the bed and flopped down on it.
"Good, because this is where you're going to stay for the next three days."
Gabriella shot up from her spot on the bed. "Are you serious?!" Gabriella shouted.
"Yea, I'm serious!" Troy said excitedly.
Gabriella screamed. This was like a dream!!! She ran over to Troy and hugged him tightly. "Troy, I love you!" she shouted.
"I know." he said, returning the hug.
"Wait, where's your room?' Gabriella asked.
Troy took some time before answering. "Here."
"This is your room?!"
"Yea,"
"So, I'm going to be staying in your room? With you?"
"Yes. Is that a problem"
"Of course not!" Gabriella said, hugging him even tighter than before. "I love you so much, Troy!"
"You said that already," Troy struggled to say; the hug was so tight Troy could barely breathe.
"I know, but I want you to know, too."
"Well, I know." Troy said, still struggling to breathe. "Um, Ella?" he asked.
Gabriella looked up at him, thinking he wasn't talking about her. "Yea?"
"Can't…breathe…"
"Oh, sorry," Gabriella immediately let go of Troy.
"Thank you," he said, taking in a deep breath.
"Just one question."
"Yea?'
"…Ella…?" Gabriella asked cautiously
"Yea, GabriELLA. I thought it was kinda cute. Why, do you have a problem with it?"
"No," Gabriella said, coming up to him. "Actually, now that I think about it, it is really cute." Gabriella stood on her tiptoes and kissed Troy on the cheek. "Thanks for the awesome nickname."
"You're welcome…Ella." They both laughed. Then, Gabriella took Troy's hand and sat him down on the bed.
"Whoa. What are you doing?" Troy asked, bewildered.
"You sing for me," Gabriella reached into the pocket of her dress and pulled out a piece of paper. "I sing for you." and she gave the paper to Troy.
"You want to sing?" Troy asked, opening the paper and examining it.
"Yea, I wanna know what you think."
"You wrote this?"
"Yes, and I don't know if it's any good, so I want you to listen to it."
"Are you sure you want to, 'cuz you seemed really shy at the ball,"
"Troy, that was days ago. I've changed. Plus…I kinda wrote it about you…"
"Really?"
"Yea."
"Well, go for it." Troy looked at the paper and followed along as Gabriella sang.
My state of mind has finally got the best of me
I need you next to me
I'll try to find a way that I can get to you
Just wanna get to you
The world I see is perfect now, you're all around
With you I can breathe
Until you're mine
I have to find
A way to fill this hole inside
I can't survive without you here by my side
Until you're mine
Not gonna be
Even close to complete
I won't rest until you're mine
Mine
Alone inside
I can only hear you voice ringing through the noise
Can't find my mind
Keeps on coming back to you
Always back to you
Wanted something out of reach, it's killing me
You're all I see, yea!
Until you're mine
I have to find
A way to fill this hole inside
I can't survive without you here by my side
Until you're mine
Not gonna be
Even close to complete
I won't rest until you're mine
Mine
Just stop wondering if we were meant to be
Forget about fate and just hold me
I'm ready to begin
The waiting has to end
Right now, today
I've gotta find a way yea!
Mine
Until you're mine
Until you're mine
I have to find
A way to fill this hole inside
I can't survive without you here by my side
Until you're mine
Not gonna be
Even close to complete
I won't rest until you're mine
My state of mind has finally got the best of me
I need you next to me
By the time Gabriella was finished, she was close to tears. "So, did you like it?" she asked, a few tears falling out of her eyes.
Troy used his thumb to gently wipe away the tear. "It was beautiful."
"Really?'
Troy nodded. "I loved it. Just…one problem, though."
"What?" Gabriella asked, now concerned.
"The song isn't accurate."
Gabriella was now confused. "What are you talking about?"
"You can rest now. I'm yours."
Gabriella smiled a huge smile. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him into a large hug. "Thank you." she whispered.
"No, thank you." Troy whispered back, kissing her forehead gently.
