I'm so sorry to anyone who has been waiting for this next chapter, I had major writers block. However, after doing a couple of oneshots I'm back. I hope you like this chapter; I did work really hard on it. I've lost track of what day it is in my story so I have gone straight to the weekend.
Oh and if you can, please check out my other oneshots:
It's always been you and Baby.Baby can be found under Troyella one shots. Thank you.

Gabriella Montez paced quickly round her room. Clothes were chucked across the floor and her makeup was lined out on her dressing table. Rummaging through her draws she finally found what she was looking for, Troy's shirt. Ever since looking at that wonderful gift he made her she couldn't help but want to feel close to him. He wasn't hers anymore, but the shirt was. Putting on the shirt, she made her way into bed and under the covers. She needed to clear her head, to decide what to do about him, and about their relationship. Was she really willing to just give in? Her eyes softly closed and she soon fell into a deep sleep, his scent still lingering on her and the shirt.

Saturday
11.30am

Troy Bolton was in his backyard, shooting some hoops. He needed to stop thinking about her, about how beautiful she was. He needed to keep her off his mind, it's not like she was going to be running through the gate with open arms, telling him she would take him back and they would live happily ever after, she already made that quite clear.

"You really think after everything you've put me through I'm just gonna forgive you with open arms? You don't know how much all of this has hurt me. The rumours flying round, the whispering, my friends turning their backs on me. And the worst one" she paused and looked up at him "knowing how much you hated me, that hurt the most. I could deal with rumours and people gossiping, but not knowing that you hated me, god no." Troy's heart broke to see the girl he still loved in so much pain, it hurt him too.
"I still love you! We can still be together, forget all of this happened and move on" She smiled slightly and wiped a single tear that was forming.
"It's not that simple Troy, things can't be the same as they used to be, they never will. I'm sorry" And with that she walked off and left Troy baffled at her locker.

He felt so stupid; he just hoped that she at least liked the gift, that she looked at the pictures and instead of thinking of how horrible he was for believing the rumour, but how many great times they had together and how perfect they were for each other.
Taking off his shirt, he had a drink of water and continued playing some basketball.

Faint footsteps could be heard walking across the backyard. Gabriella Montez watched him, her heart pounding at the sight of him. His well toned body, his sexy hair, his amazing basketballs skills, and most importantly his gorgeous ocean blue eyes, all the things that made her skin tingle. She couldn't believe what she was about to do, but she decided she was going to let her heart decide on this one, not her brain.

Running quickly towards him she grabbed onto his waist. Troy jumped at the feel of two petite hands on him. Turning around he saw her. The girl he loved was standing right in front of him, her chocolate brown eyes looking up at him, her luscious brown curls were cascading down her back and her long slender legs were shown off in some denim shorts. Gabriella took a deep breath and crashed her lips onto his, sending shivers up both their bodies. Gabriella opened her mouth slightly to let Troy's tongue in. Her hands playing with the hair at the nape of his neck and Troy's hands grasped at her lower back. The kiss was passionate, full of the lust and need they had both been holding in. Pulling back, he looked down on her, and he smiled.
"Troy" She stared into his eyes.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" he said sincerely to her, she knew his words were real, and this time she believed them. She didn't want to talk about the past, to question his choices, because what's done is done and neither of them could go back and change that, they just had to try again.
"Troy, we can't go back in time and change the past. That's not going to happen. But please, we can't move on if you can't trust me.
"I made a mistake, a huge mistake and I do trust you, of course I do. I was just stupid and wasn't thinking straight."
"We can't be together yet Troy; I'm not ready to move on straight away. I love you but after everything that's happened I need time, and I need to know that you trust me. Without that, we have nothing." His heart broke but he knew that she was right, and he would do anything just to get her back in his arms again.
"For you, I will wait. You just tell me when you're ready" he whispered into her ear. They shared one last sweet kiss, before he walking inside leaving her standing in his backyard.

Gabriella smiled, she was glad he understood and at least it gave her more time to make sure she was doing the right thing. She made her way back home, the wind blowing in her hair and the sun shining down, heating up her skin.

Maybe things would be ok in the end.

Please review; they are the things that keep me writing. I would also like to know if anyone has any ideas or things they want to happen later on in the story. If I like your idea I will use it, and I will also give a shout out at the beginning of the chapter so readers know it was your idea. Thank you again.
