Gabriella walked into her house, took off her shoes, and dumped her suitcase near her door. She was so tired that she plopped down on the couch and could sleep for hours. The plane ride was so uncomfortable and she felt nauseous the whole way so she was glad to be laying on her comfortable couch.

As she was laying, she realized she was on top of something and sure enough, it was Troy's sweater that she had borrowed. She did not need that right now. She was so frustrated because he didn't text or call her all week, and she was starting to regret everything. What if she pushed him away? What if it came off like she didn't care? So many questions were running through her mind. And she didn't know if she could see him on Monday.

Before actually falling asleep on the couch, she got up and went to her room and threw on a pair of leggings and an over-sized sweater. She went to the bathroom to wash all of her make up off and put her hair up in a bun. Now she was ready to take a nap.

She went back to the couch and turned on the TV and just her luck, Friends was on, so she cuddled up with a blanket and started dozing off.

Three days before Gabriella got home, Troy was in his living room pacing back and forth. He knew he had to call Hannah today and tell him what he thought. He didn't want to wait until Friday, the day she left.

He walked over to his coffee table and picked up his phone. He scrolled down to Hannah's name, took a deep breath, and pressed 'Call'

He made a decision the day Gabriella and Hannah both walked out of that office, but he didn't want to tell Gabriella over the phone. He wanted to wait until she got in to tell her.

Hannah didn't answer her phone, which prompted him to leave a voice-mail, because he didn't know when he'd have time to call again.

"Hey Hannah. So I know we have a lot of history and it'd be silly to just throw that all away..."

Before Gabriella could fully fall asleep, she heard a knock at her door. She contemplated for about 2 minutes whether she should get it or not, but the person kept knocking so she felt like she needed to.

She opened the door and came face to face with Troy.

"Troy"

He smiled at her, "Hey can I come in?"

Gabriella tucked her arms in, slightly embarrassed that she was standing there with no make up, and pajamas basically in 2 in the afternoon.

"Um, yeah, sure. I just got back and was going to take a nap... which should explain this. I wasn't expecting anyone"

Troy walked in, and immediately made her blush. "You look beautiful"

Gabriella told him to sit down and asked if he wanted anything to eat or drink, and he said he would like some water so she got that for him and she got herself a glass as well. She came over and set it down on her coffee table.

"So what's up?"

He took a drink and then set it back down, "How was New York? Congrats on your newest addition to your family"

Gabriella smiled. She already missed that baby like crazy and couldn't wait to go back and see him. And her family.

"It was good. Thank you. She had a boy who had the most beautiful little face, ever," she gushed, "How was work?"

Troy shrugged, "Easy. Nothing much went on"

Gabriella nodded, not knowing what else to say now, because she didn't know why he was there and because she felt weird not knowing where they stood.

"So um, before you left you told me to make a decision..."

"Look Troy, I meant what I said about not being mad about the situation at all"

Troy nodded his head. He knew she meant it. Gabriella was always straight up and sincere. It was one of the things he liked most about her, to be honest.

"I know. I'm sorry Hannah came and she had to put a little dent in our relationship, but I don't want it to be there anymore. Gabriella, it's scary how much I care about you and like you in such a short amount of time, but I do and I'd be so crazy to just give up on that. I don't want to and I'm not going to. Hannah... yeah, sure, three years of history there, but that went out the door the minute I met you because I realized that if I met you and liked you this much, I'm not supposed to go back to her. Everything happens for a reason, I truly believe that. And the whole Hannah situation happened because maybe I was supposed to meet you," Troy scooted closer to her on the couch and intertwined their hands together, "I didn't even need a week to make my decision, I knew when I walked into your office that day, but things turn took a little turn, and I hope I'm steering it back in the right direction"

Gabriella couldn't help but smile from ear to ear. It was the most perfect answer. She honestly was not expecting that kind of answer, and she wasn't even sure he'd want to be with her, but he does and that made her the happiest person in the world. It made her even more happier knowing that he didn't really choose between them because Hannah had already been out of his mind for a while.

She couldn't help herself anymore, she leaped forward and gave him a kiss. She had been missing that all week and was so happy to be doing it again. Troy moved his hands and put it behind her head, bringing her closer to him, and kissing her more passionately.

Once they broke off, Gabriella told him, "Why are you so amazing?"

Troy pecked her lips, "You're amazing. And I realized we were never official, so will you, Gabriella Montez, be my girlfriend?"

"I thought you'd never ask," she said, sealing the deal with another kiss.

Troy sat back on the couch and soaked it all in.

"Man, today's a good day. I'm happy to have my girl back. I missed you so much"

Gabriella snuggled up to him and pulled her blanket over them, "I mean, you could have texted or called me"

Troy laughed. He knew she was probably worried that by not texting her, he decided to go with Hannah, but he was just trying to wait until she came back to tell her everything.

"Never again," he told her as he kissed the top of her head.

"...but our relationship ended as soon as I walked out that day, and as soon as you told me you didn't want to get married. Han, I can't be in a relationship where everything is based off your terms, so I'm sorry. Gabriella means a lot to me and I know our relationship can be something great, and I know it's probably not what you want to hear, but you have to. I'm in the process of falling for her and I'm not going to let you get in the way of that. I wish you nothing but the best and I truly hope you find someond you can spend your time with. And maybe your opinion on marriage will change and you will find that man that changes it, and if you do, I'll be so proud and happy for you. I love you, Han. Take care."
