Three months had past and Troy did let Gabriella have her space. It was killing them both to be apart. But they knew it was for the best. However being in almost every class together made it very difficult.
Troy had changed. He realized what he had done, and was ready to talk to Gabriella about it. But he was afraid she wasn't ready. Chad was very impressed with Troy's change as was the rest of the gang. Troy asked Taylor to talk to Gabriella about maybe talking to her again.
It was lunch time, Taylor and Sharpay made there way to Gabriella, who was already sitting munching on a turkey sandwich reading a book.
"Hey Gabriella."
"Hey." She said sweetly.
"Listen, we wanted to talk to you about Troy…" Taylor said with caution.
Gabriella's heart skipped a beat at the sound of his name. If her assumptions were right she had been waiting for this moment for to long.
"Ok…"She said slowly biting her bottom lip, closing her book.
"He's been doing really good, Chad said he's seeing a doctor for anger management. And we can really see the difference…" Taylor said then looked at Sharpay. Gabriella's heart was beating wildly.
"Well, he was wondering if you were ready to talk to him…"
"Really?" Gabriella smiled. This was the moment she had hope for.
She turned and looked up at the table that they normally all used to eat at. Troy looked at her and she quickly turned away.
"Um, I have to go do something…" She smiled. "I'll see you girls later, Saturday at your house right Sharpay?" Gabriella asked
"Yeah 8pm."
"K" With that Gabriella walked out.
Troy took it the wrong way. Disappointment flowing through him. He was discouraged and didn't know if he could take much more of being without her.
"Hey guys I'll see you later. I need to catch up on some work."
"Alright see you later." Chad said, he was involved in a debate with Zeke about the latest action film, he was to caught up in the passion of the conversation to see Troy was upset.

Gabriella took out a sheet of paper from her notebook Writing something down, then she slipped it in Troy's locker smiling.

Troy sighed as he walked to his locker, he wasn't lying about needing to catch up on a project. When a sheet of paper fell out he looked puzzled and picked it up. Not believing it as he read it.
"Meet me in our special place,
Love,
Your Gabi"
With that Troy ran to the roof top garden.
Gabriella was nervously sitting in the bench.
Troy's breath was taken away at her beauty. Her curly hair was softly blowing in the April wind and the blue sun dress she wore fit her perfectly, showing off all her curves.
"Gabi?" Troy said softly.
Gabriella's heart leaped. It took every fiber of her being not to run and jump in his arms.
The smile on her face told him everything he needed to know. Gabriella couldn't contain herself any longer and she ran to Troy's arms.
When they touched it was like fire works went off.
Troy wrapped his arms around her holding her close.
"I've missed you so much." He kissed the top of her head.
She pulled away looking at him seriously.
"Gabriella, I was so wrong when I did those things to you. But I want you to know that I've been getting some help and I've changed, I'm so sorry for hurting you, I love you so much and I promise, I'll never hurt you again."
"Promise?"
"Here's my promise…" Troy pulled a box out of his pocket. He opened it pulling out a necklace.
"It's a symbol of my promise to you. Love is so precious and it's something that needs to be handled with care. He said as he put the necklace on her gently. It was a gold necklace with a solid heart with something engraved on it. Gabriella lifted it to read it.
To my precious Gabi,
my love for you will always
be tender, gentile and true
Gabriella flipped the heart over and engraved on the other was,
Troy and Gabriella
"Troy it's beautiful." She smiled with tears in her eyes.
"Just like you." He lifted her chin. Their eye's locking.
Pure passion and need filled their kiss. Finally things were how they were supposed to be.
(A/N I'm not sure if I want to end it here or not. Let me know what you think. I don't see a point in keeping it going if you guys don't want it to.)
