After cheerleading practice Gabriella, Sharpay and Taylor had met up with the guys and was now having free period that's what they loved most, apart from cheerleading practice in the morning there schedule was the same. Chad had told Gabriella what had happened to Chase, it didn't sound pretty.

Chad ignore the cries from Gabriella and walked round the corner seeing Chase pulling up his jeans and the girl pulling her knickers back up and straightening out her cheerleading uniform, walking over to him he pushed him up against the locker Grabbing his shirt roughly. "You cheating fucking bastard"

"Dude I'm sorry"

"No, you are a sick piece of shit for a person, Gabriella deserves someone better than you, what happened last time I found out about what you did?"

Chase gulped, having his own little flashback.

"Chase" The middle aged woman groaned, kissing him roughly pulling him down to her.

"Maria" Chase groaned and gasped as Maria switched places grabbing hold of his cock, not hearing anyone coming in from downstairs they carried on.

"Maria?" The afro hair guy shouted up the stairs. "Where's Gabriella?" Not hearing anything he walked towards where there was noises and he realised it was Marias room hearing another moan Chad covered his mouth trying not to laugh.. 'Chase' Chad stopped and looked at the door.. Chase? He opened Gabriella's mothers door quietly to see Maria sucking someones cock, looking at the mans face he saw Chase, Gabriella's boyfriend having it off with her mother.

"What the hell is going on here" He said in a angry and disgusted tone making Chase and Maria stop what they was doing, Maria jumped off Chase to see her daughters best friend standing in the door way with a pissed off expression.

"Chad this isn't what it looks like"

Chad chuckled darkly at Maria and crossed his arms. "So I didn't just see you sucking off your daughter's boyfriend" he looked at Chase who was sweating. "And I didn't see you letting it happen"

Just as Chad was about to lunge for him Maria stopped him and held him back. "Chad please don't, and please don't tell Gabriella" Maria started crying.

Chad looked at Maria glaring. "What? Gabriella is one of my best friends she deserves to know what a piece of shit her boyfriend is and what a slag her fuckin mother is"

Not knowing what came over her Maria slapped Chad round the face making him fly back in shock. "Oh my god, I am so sorry" Maria went to walk near him and Chad put his hand up making her stop.

"Stay awake from me, and stay away from Gabriella" He said warning them both walked out of the bedroom and slammed the door shut.

"She deserves better than you and I'm glad she found out what a prick you are, and best part now is no one is here to stop me from beating the living shit out of you" Chad said and punched him in the face making him fall to the ground, he picked him back up again and punched him again. "Stay" Punch. "Away" Punch. "From her" He fell to the ground and the guys walked off.

Gabriella giggled hearing what he did to Chase. "I wish I were there"

Chad shook his head and cracked his knuckles. "It wasn't a pretty sight Gabs"

"What wasn't a pretty sight?"

Gabriella froze instantly at the sound of the males voice she knew it to well, not looking up she pulled out her phone looking through her Facebook new feeds. She wasn't in the mood to even look at him, first she catches him saying I love you to her mother and then she catches Chase cheating on her she just couldn't be bothered all she wanted to do was chill out with her friends and keep the shit at the door.

"Chase" Chad said while looking up at the blue eyed boy.

Troy raised his eye brows at him, looking down at Gabriella she didn't even bother to look up at him which he found was strange, shrugging it off he looked back at Chad. "What about him?"

"Caught him cheating on Gabriella with Courtney and Chad beat him up" Sharpay said while drying her just painted finger nails.

Troy looked at them in shock, what? He thought. He was cheating on Gabriella with someone on the cheerleading team? Troy was disgusted, how dare he do this to her? Gabriella deserved better than that, she deserves a man who will love her protect her with his life. Then again even Troy wouldn't be the man since his doing what his doing with Maria and Gabriella.

Sitting down on the grass beside Gabriella he wraps his arm about her pulling her close, she started to sob while burring her head into his chest. "Shush, it's alright Brie" Troy said while planting a kiss into her hair soothing her.

Gabriella slowly pulled away from him and sat up and stood to her feet not looking at him, she couldn't take it anymore she just wanted out. "Don't act as if you care Bolton" Gabriella hissed.

"What?" Troy said taken back, he was confused by her sudden change, he hadn't done anything had he?

Gabriella shook her head, looking at him with fire in her eyes. "I heard you, I fucking heard you"

Troy still didn't understand what she was getting at, he stood up being the same height as her. "What do you mean you heard me? You heard me say what?"

"I love you Maria" Gabriella mimicked, watching Troy freeze she knew it was true, it hurt her more than it hurt seeing Chase cheat on her with some skank. She needed a break she needed to get away from this place all it gave her was misery, ever since she met him its led to it, she just wanted to change the clock back to where she didn't kiss him or when they had sex at Gabriella's mum house she just wanted to forget it all.

"Gabrie-"

Troy stopped as Gabriella's right hand connected with his left cheek, causing him to fall back a little and hold his hand to his now stinging cheek.

"Stay the hell away from me"

"Gabriella"

"No Troy, me and you are done, finished"

Just as Gabriella was about to walk away from him and the gang, Troy pulled her back by the arm and held her to his chest.

"Get the fuck off me"

Gabriella started wriggling hitting his chest with both hands and trying to get free but he just held her tighter and gripped hold of her hands. "Gabriella stop it let me explain" Troy shouted as she wriggled more.

"No let me go, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you"

And she broke, giving in she fell against his chest falling to the ground and cried, cried more than she had ever cried before, because of Troy, because of her mother, because of Chase.

"Shh its ok, I'm sorry okay, I'm sorry"

Gabriella signed and pulled out of Troy's grasp making him feel empty, he looked at her and signed.

"You obviously mean it Troy else you wouldn't have said it" Gabriella shrugged. "It's alright, I'll just find someone in Brighton" Gabriella smirked as his face fell, and looked towards the girls and guys who was sitting there quietly just watching them.

Troy coughed, making everyone look at him. "I need to tell you guys something" no one said a word, so he took it as a time to continue. "I told Maria about Brighton" Gabriella was the first to roll her eyes as she knew what was coming. "And she wants to come with us"

Every one apart from Gabriella signed and shook their heads in disappointment, while she scoffed. "Can't you do anything without my mother by your side Troy, it's just the weekend! It was only meant to be us guys, not mother's as well"

"Well she isn't my mother Gabriella" Troy spat having enough of her attitude towards him, but knowing why she does and it's a good enough excuse but he wouldn't admit that, looking back at the gang he looked at Sharpay. "Shar you planned this so it's up to you, can she come with us?"

Sharpay signed, looking at Gabriella who had an unreadable face, that couldn't give her an yes or no answer, looking back at Troy she signed again, she didn't know what to do, she wanted to make him happy but she also couldn't do it to her best friend since half the reason she is upset is because of him and Maria being together. She made a quick decision.

"Fine, she can come" Sharpay's eyes flickered to Gabriella, who was sitting there emotionless not looking at anyone, Taylor and the guys sat there quietly not wanting to get involved. "But we are doing things we all want to do, we are not staying in the hotel the whole time, if she wants to do that she can do it with you or herself"

Troy nodded in understanding, reaching over hugging her quickly he pulled back to see Gabriella's eyes darken at the sight, he rolled his eyes and went into conversation with Chad since he got there.

The week was finally over and it was now the weekend Gabriella was so excited to get away from everything, even though her mother and Troy was going to be there she just wanted to make the most of it, she had ignored Troy completely since the day at school on the field, she hadn't spoken two words to her mother which she seemed pretty upset about, she had seen Chase in school, he tried loads of times to apologise to her but she would just walk away in the other direction.

"Gabriella are you ready?" Maria shouted from downstairs.

Hearing a mumble of 'yes' from the staircase Maria signed and looked at Troy who was standing in the living room with hers and Troy's little suitcases. "What is wrong with her? She hasn't hardly spoke two words to me since the beginning of the week"

Troy signed, guilty shrugged pretending not to know what's wrong with her. "I have no idea babe, she hasn't spoken to me either, and maybe she's missing Chase?"

Maria shrugged while frowning. "Don't mean she should take it out on us, it's not our fault he cheated on her, I told her what he was like" Going towards the stairs again, about to shout her name she saw Gabriella walking down the stairs, while Troy tried to get his head around what she had just said.

"The guys and girls are waiting outside Gabs" Maria smiled as Gabriella reached the stairs.

"Okay" Gabriella mumbled, rolling her pink suitcase across the hard flooring, walking past Troy and ignoring him completely walking out the door leaving the two standing there.

Troy signed and looked at the door Gabriella had just walked out of. "Come on, let's go" Troy held out his hand for Maria to take, she happily accepted, her hand in one and wheeling the suitcases in the other, they walked out of the door and Maria locked it behind them while Troy walked towards Gabriella and the others, taking the key out of the door she put the keys in her pocket and followed Troy.

"So who's going in who's car?" Sharpay said excitedly, while clapping her hands.

Gabriella was the first to speak, first time since they had all been outside. "Well we have your car Shar, and Chads, I could always take mine, means you and Zeke in your car, Taylor and Chad in his car and these two can come in with me if they want" She said while pointing at Troy and Maria who was standing behind her holding hands.

"We don't need to take your car Gabs, Troy and Maria can go in with Tay and Chad and you can come in with me and Zeke?"

Gabriella liked the sound of that, nodding her head smiling big. "That's fine by me"

"And us" She heard faint voices behind us.

"And us to" Taylor and Chad said together.

"Everything's sorted then, let's get the cases in the boots and get this show on the road" Sharpay grabbed hold of Gabriella's suitcase, opening her boot seeing her big suitcase and Zekes little one, moving a few bits around she put Gabriella's suitcase in and slammed the boot shut, while Chad picked up Troy's and Marias suitcases and easily put it in the boot of his land rover.

"Come on then guys" Chad said while opening the back doors for Troy and Maria to slid in and shut the door, opening the driver's seat door he got in the car and shut it, he looked at Sharpay and stuck his head out of the window and shouted. "You go first we will follow"

Sharpay nodded as she shut the door Gabriella had just got in through the back and opened her door. "We will see you there" She got in and started up the engine, putting on her sun glasses she looked in the mirror to check her make-up and hair, looking at Gabriella she grinned, while Gabriella smiled a little. "Let's do this" She looked back at the road and pulled out of the driveway, seeing the black land rover follow.
