Disclaimer- Do not own… ugh… we can't all get what we want… I also do not own the song.
Thanks for all the awesome reviews! You guys made me so happy! I will update sooner or at least I'll try. Let the story begin.
-Four and a half years later-
Gabriella, how to describe her ever since she left Troy. Let's see… bad chick? No, hot momma? No, advice columnist. That's what she became, even though she said she wouldn't, she had gone back to college and now her life was running smoothly. She apologized to Troy Jr. for not making his birthday party. Actually a lot of people had.
"I'm sorry I really am, here's your gift!"
"Oh wowie, mommy she got me that new toy truck I always wanted!" Troy Jr. screamed with excitement.
"Thanks so much Gabi for giving Tr- I mean Junior his gift."
"No, problem. Well I have to get going, I got a lot of work to do for the paper." Gabi said, "and there's a lot of people here to see Junior." Gabi hugged Taylor good-bye and left to her little apartment.
"Ugh, so much work." Gabi logged in and found fifty new messages. She found one with the subject 'Waiting for her' she clicked it.
Of course she went by "Tell it to Naomi" instead of Gabi.
Dear Naomi,
I don't know what to do there's a girl who walked out of my life about four and a half years ago, I really can't live without her anymore. I think I should go see her, but the problem is I don't know where she lives. Should I just wait for her or should I go after her. I love my Delilah very much, I just don't know if she loves me as much? What should I do?
Much respect,
Mr. Bigshot
Gabi's heart was racing, she couldn't believe that Troy was asking her advice. To her advice column, and he also still loved her not Lyn or some other girl. He also still called her his Delilah, she reached under her bed to get her i-Pod, and she listened to his song, she didn't know if she could still sing or not. The last time she sang was with Ryan, and she just couldn't sing anymore or at least she hadn't tried.
Dear Mr. Bigshot,
Follow your heart it will lead you anywhere it desires, I believe you should wait for this girl even if it has been four and a half years ago. I mean you must have done something REALLY bad if she hasn't forgiven you. Write her another song maybe? Give up on this girl if you can't really wait for her, but if she's worth the wait she must be really special. Wait for your Delilah is what I'm trying to tell you, maybe she still doesn't trust you or what you're doing. Don't try to rush fate, the best things come to those who wait.
Much love,
Naomi
Gabi also gave advice on a dog that won't smile, and a girl with an odor problem. Who wrote,
Dear Naomi,
I'm a girl with a beard of zits and an odor problem, I also have a boyfriend who hasn't looked at me for ages. He once even asked if I shower, of course me and my dramatic self yelled "BE LUCKY YOU CAN RUN FROM IT!" he told me that until I get some pro-active and Deo. for my B.O., he won't be my boyfriend anymore. I also happen to love this guy! Help!
HELP,
B.O.Z (Beard of zits)
I forgot what I wrote back but I did give some helpful advice. I e-mailed the messages to my boss. Those will be my three top choices to be put in the paper. Now I have to go out for a drink. Hey I need to reward myself too, maybe I'll go to that new bar The Point.
Troy of course wasn't doing so well, he always goes out to The Point to get a drink and get drunk.
"Ugh. Get me the usual Luke." Luke was the bartender there. His name was Lucas Scott he had come in from Tree Hill. He too had played basketball when he was younger. That's why they had become such good friends. At times Chad would join them to shoot some hoops.
"Man, you need to get this Gabi girl back. You're starting to become a usual." Luke smiled and got him his beers.
"Now this is karaoke night is there anyone who would like to come up and sing?"
"I think I should go up and sing." Troy said
"Dude, you sing?"
"Yeah, I've already written two songs on my own. One you probably heard on the radio and I think I should go up and sing my new one? Should I?"
"Go for it." Luke looked at the door and issued a hottie alert but Troy was already gone.
"Hi, I'm Gabi can I get a margarita please?"
"Oh my fuckin god!" Luke said looking up at the stage and then at Gabi.
"What?"
"Hi, I'm Troy Bolton and this is a song I wrote for the love of my life Gabriella Montez, Gabi I'll wait for you."
I never felt nothing in the world like this before
Now I'm missing you and I'm wishing you would come back through my door
Why did you have to go?
You could have let me know; so now I'm all alone
Girl you could have stayed but you wouldn't give me a chance
With you not around it's a little bit more than I can stand
And all my tears they keep runnin' down my face
Why did you turn away?
So why does your pride make you run and hide
Are you that afraid of me?
But I know it's a lie what you keep inside
This is not how you want it to be
So baby I will wait for you
Cause I don't know what else I can do
Don't tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life
Baby I will wait for you
If you think I find it just ain't true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I'll wait for you
Been a long time since you called me
(How could you forget about me)
You gotta be feeling crazy
How can you walk away
(When) Everything stays the same
I just can't do it baby
What will it take to make you come back
Girl I told you what it is and it just ain't like that
Why can't you look at me?
You're still in love with me
Don't leave me crying
Baby why can't we just start all over again
Get it back to the way it was
If you give me a chance I can love you right
But you're telling me it won't be enough
So baby I will wait for you
Cause I don't know what else I can do
Don't tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life
Baby I will wait for you
If you think I find it just ain't true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I'll wait for you
So why does your pride make you run and hide
Are you that afraid of me?
But I know it's a lie what you're keeping inside
That is not how you want it to be
Baby I will wait for you
Baby I will wait for you
If it's the last thing I do
Baby I will wait for you
Cause I don't know what else I can do
Don't tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life
Baby I will wait for you
If you think I find it just ain't true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I'll wait for you
I'll be waiting …
"Thank you, bye good-night everyone." Troy walked off the stage and just stared at the girl with Luke.
"Troy?"
"Gabs?"
"Luke!" Lucas interrupted.
Normally Sharpay loved ruling the big house, everyone worshipped her for being pretty and mean. While they were just plain… mean.
"Sharpay Evans?" one of the cops called
"That's me." she stood up.
"You're being let go early but you will be on parole (Don't know how to spell it, sorry for the interruption.) so behave miss Evans."
"Yes sir, I will sir. Don't worry sir." Sharpay left the big house with one thing in mind…. And it was not Troy or Gabriella.
"Ryan?"
"Shar? Oh my, I didn't think you of all people would come here. Aren't suppose to be in jail?"
"They let me out early for good behavior. So… how are you doing ever since you know…" she drifted off.
"I've been better, but I'm glad you're here."
"Look, I'm sorry for you know. Ugh! I just…" again she drifted off.
"No, it's okay we all hurt the people we love at some point in our lives. That's just our way of showing how cruel humans have gotten."
"I know but-" then Sharpay broke down and started crying.
"It's okay Shar, come here." she didn't get up, so he walked over to her and held her in his arms.
"Everything is going to be okay, shhhh, I'm here." he was comforting her.
"Ry? I drove myself crazy thinking of what you said, you know that you hate me." she started to sob
"I didn't mean it Shar, you're the only family I have left and I'm not going to lose you."
"You know Ryan, after I got out of jail the first thing I did was come and see you."
"Thank you."
"For what?" she sniffed
"For showing me that people can change. I love you so much. Oh, and I think you owe Zeke an apology."
"Yeah, I'll call him after a nap." she got up with Ryan's help.
"Make yourself at home, because it is your home now." they hugged one last time and she headed to her old room to take a nap.
"Okay how awkward is this?" Lucas asked laughing
"Shut up Luke." Troy said chugging on his beer.
"No, it's okay Lucas say whatever you feel like." Gabi interrupted while sipping her margarita.
"Thank you." Luke said
"You're welcome." Gabi said with a smirk
"Gabi are you mad?" Troy asked her noticing how uncomfortable she looked
"No, why?"
"I didn't know you'd be here don't blame- wait did you just say no?"
"Yeah."
"Wait what?"
"Yes I said no."
"Yes you said no that you're mad or yes that you are mad?"
"No I'm not mad!" she was irritated, Troy always confused her
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry, geeze." Troy put his hands up in front of him.
"Did you really write that song for me?"
"Of course he did! He won't stop talking about you. Ever since he came here." Luke said coming back and putting down three papers with three numbers.
"Really?" Gabi said giggling.
Troy missed her giggles, his heart skipped a beat when she giggled and couldn't help but smile.
"Looks like someone enjoys watching you giggle." Luke said pointing towards Troy.
"Hey, sorry for enjoying my ex-fiancée's giggle." when he said this Gabi frowned.
"Troy? Can I talk to you privately?" Gabi said getting up with her margarita in her hand.
"Sure." Troy said and Luke went back to the girls he was serving.
They went outside and Troy leaned against a wall which Gabi couldn't help but having a flashback to.
- FLASHBACK -
Gabi was worried about being the new freaky math girl at school and not just math but she could sing too. She got to school and the first person she saw was a hot guy holding a sign that said 'GABRIELLA MONTEZ?' she ran over to where he was.
"Hi I'm Gabriella Montez, but you can call me Gabi." she said sticking her hand out for a shake. She couldn't help but frown because he reminded her of a guy at her old school who broke her heart.
"Hi Gabi, I'm Troy Bolton. I decided to join the welcoming committee and here I am meeting such a beautiful girl like you." he gave her a charming smile which made her feel weird.
"Uh, thanks I guess?"
He had shown me all my classes and where to go. We had homeroom, history, physical education, and lunch together. At the end of the day there he was leaning against my locker. Looking very sexy in his tight but not very tight jeans.
"Hey Gabi."
"Hi Troy." he moved out the way for me to get my stuff.
"How are you? How was your day?" there it was again his charming smile.
"Oh I'm fine and my day was fine." I gave him an assuring smile.
He grabbed my chin and looked me straight in the eyes, "Tell the truth." this time his charming smile looked even sexier when he was serious. It caused me to go into confession, we spent the day at the mall and park talking. Right when he dropped me off he kissed me and I felt something I never did before. I think I felt love in that kiss, more love then I've ever felt in my life.
- End flashback -
Gabi knew she was mad at him, but she couldn't resist. She ran up to Troy, grabbed him by the collar and kissed him passionately; until they had to come up for air.
"I thought you wanted to talk." Troy smiled his charming smile
"Shut up Bolton and kiss me." they went back to kissing, Troy stopped her,
"Gabriella Montez, will you re-marry me?" he said with another charming smile
"Yes, I do. I thought you'd never ask." she pecked him on the lips.
They went back inside the bar hand in hand. Luke was surprised, but hey it's another one of those Troy and Gabi fights or arguments.
Hope you enjoyed it as much as I loved writing it! I wrote it long for some special people .:: wink wink ::.
I decided to end Gabi and Troy's long road back to each other here. This story is finished as of now. Sorry if you were expecting more to it. I might follow with a sequel if it's requested.
Review, please.
