This is Your Daughter
Chapter 11
The sun was setting on that beautiful day, as Troy and Gabriella sat on the top of his apartment building looking at the stars and their beauty. After Gabriella had agreed to be Troy's bride, he took her to get some ice cream. Then after that they had come up told his apartment and checked in on Ms. Montez and Corrie. Finding Ms. Montez sowing with their daughter sleeping, they headed up to the roof and laid down together.
"Troy…" Gabriella started.
"Yeah?" Troy asked as she woke him from his daydreaming.
"I said I wouldn't marry you because I'm scared." Gabriella admitted.
"Of what Gabs?" Troy asked.
"What if something happens and we don't want to talk to each other anymore? That would leave Corrie in the middle of us." Gabriella showed her concern but it made Troy chuckle a little before he talked again.
"Gabriella, I promise, when we walk down that isle I will love you just as much as I do now, just as much as I always have, and just as much as I will when I die." Troy told her in an encouraging way.
"Good, you're not the only one." Gabriella finally smiled as she realized everything would be ok, and if it wasn't then she would face it when it came.
"I can see the magazines now, 'Troy Bolton got hitched? AND he has an eight-year-old daughter? What is his story? Read page fourteen for the complete story.'" Troy laughed.
"Yea this will be a shock to everyone." Gabriella sighed.
"What's wrong?" Troy asked.
"I don't want everyone to know who I am. I don't want to be known as Troy Bolton's girlfriend." Gabriella sighed.
"Hey you're going to be Troy Bolton's wife soon." Troy said trying to cheer her up.
"I want to be Gabriella Montez not Troy's girl." Gabriella explained.
"First off you'll be Gabriella Bolton, and second… You'll always just be Gabriella to me and all our friends." Troy told her seriously.
"You're right, I've just been having too many doubts." Gabriella said sadly.
"No it's ok to have doubts just don't let them take over." Troy said confidently.
"When did you get so smart, basketball boy?" Gabriella asked through now joyful tears.
"Well you are my fiancée, and you're also the smartest person I know." Troy told her smiling before pulling her in front of him between his legs, and let her lean back as he set his chin on her shoulder and held her in complete silence.
"Thank you Troy." Gabriella said.
"For what?" Troy asked.
"Everything… You, my daughter, you helped me through a lot during high school, the list goes on." Gabriella told him.
"Well I can say the same thing to you because you did so much for me." Troy told her sincerely.
"I really do love you so much Troy…" Gabriella told him. It made Troy feel warm inside knowing that she really did mean it.
"I really do love you too Gabs, more than anything." Troy said back.
After laying back and watching the stars for a while, neither wanted to move so they just stayed put for a while.
"We should go back, Troy." Gabriella said.
"Yea we should." Troy agreed.
"Come on." Gabriella urged as they got up and started down the long stairs and then took the elevator to his floor. When they reached his door, he opened it quietly and walked in to darkness. Troy walked into Corrie's room and found her sleeping still with Ginger at her side. Then he went and looked in the other guestroom to find Ms. Montez sound asleep too.
"Let's go to bed." Troy suggested.
"Ok." Gabriella agreed as they went to their room and changed before going to bed.
Thank God it's friday! I'm so glad i dont have to go to school tomorrow.
