Tay's POV

"Okay you guys, I thought everything was fine between you two. I mean Troy didn't you call Chad to tell him Gabby was in labor?"

"Yes but that didn't mean I wanted him to come. I just figured he should know what he was missing because of his actions. I was trying to hurt him."

"Troy that is terrible. I thought you were better than that. You and Chad have known each other all your lives. I want to know what the real problem is and I want to know now."

"Taylor just leave it alone."

"No Chad I won't. I want to know why you are at each others throats." I waited for there answer, but what Chad said surprised me.

"Fine Taylor, you are the problem." I looked at the both of them and realized they were telling the truth.

"Because of me. Why am I the problem? You have bee friends too long for me to be the problem in your friendship." Finally Troy spoke up."

"He's mad at me because he knows that I love you and that you have feelings for me. He can't stomach the fact that you are moving on without him. He doesn't want you with anyone else, let alone his former best friend. Plus I can't be friends with a man who hurt the two women I care about."

"First of all Gabby and I forgave Chad. Troy you need to get over that. Secondly Chad you hurt me. You left me no choice but to move on with my life. I needed to find out who I was without you. You have no right to hate Troy for loving me and wanting to be with me. Troy was there when I needed him. Also Troy this vendetta against Chad is ridiculous. I want you to fix this friendship. You guys need each other. I won't allow myself to be the problem, so the logical thing is to remove myself from this situation. I can't be in your lives until you fix this mess. Gabby will agree with me on this. Come find us when you guys are friends again. I'm going to check on Gabby. You guys are going to worry me to death." I walked off. Hopefully they will talk things out.

"Nice going Chad. If you can't have her no one can. That's bullshit and you know it."

"Look man she was my first love and I still love her, but you hurt me the most. We were like brothers and you took all kinds of liberties with Taylor. That hurt man. You were in love with her before all this shit went down, and I just feel that you never respected my relationship with Taylor. I know I sound hypocritical, but that is how I feel."

"Chad I respect you. Even after all this shit, I respect you. You have changed for the better. I wouldn't have called you to be here for Gabby if I didn't, but you should understand how easy it is to fall in love with Taylor. I never meant to fall in love with her, but I did. I tried to fight it, but I got tired of fighting, especially after I found out about you and Gabby. We were both in the wrong. We hurt each other. You are right we are brothers and as brothers we need to fix this friendship. So if I can forgive you, you can forgive me."

"You are right man; we have known each other too long for this shit. Dude we're cool all is forgiven."

"Ahh that is cute. You guys are hugging it out," I am so glad they fixed things.

"So Tay Tay Chad and I are cool, so we can be together now."

"Not so fast Troy. There is something we need to discuss in private. I need to confess some things." The look on Troy's face is priceless.

"Okay Tay Tay let's go. I want to get this over with."

"Chad tell Gabby I will see her tomorrow and give Chad Jr. a kiss for me."

Troy's Apartment

I knew Troy was worried about what I was going to tell him. I hadn't even talked to Gabby about this.

"Tay Tay put me out of my misery. Talk to me.

"Troy before I tell you anything I want you to agree not to interrupt me. Okay."

"Okay Tay. I'm listening."

"Troy I have been miserable these months without you. I didn't want o believe that I was missing you like that. When I found out that you had been in love with me for years it through me off. How could Troy Bolton be in love with me? I was afraid to let you in and get hurt again, but I am no t afraid anymore. I want you in my life. I realized I always have. Troy I didn't know I would be doing this, but after everything that has happened today I know in my heart this is right. Troy will you marry me?"
