I am incredibly sorry! I didn't mean not to update…it's just I've been so busy writing "Tailor Made" (my newest oneshot…if you haven't read it, check it out), and so many things have been going on in my life. I kept trying to sit down and write, but every time I tried to, something prevented me from continuing; one time my computer crashed, another I had to baby-sit (that happened many times), then a funeral came up, and so on and so forth. lol. I am soooo sorry once again. I promise you all that I will be updating a lot more often from now on…or at least trying to. School is finally coming to an end, so it should be easier once I don't have 4 hours of homework to do every night. okay, so here it is. chapter eleven of a Troyella Story.

Gabby's POV:

I lay with my head against Troy's chest, we were both silent as we lay on my bed. The house around us was quiet, considering it was almost one in the morning; the only sounds I could hear were the sound of mine and Troy's heart beats, beating in a opposite pattern, the sound of Troy's steady breathing, and the sound of my own breathing, still short and shaky from crying. My hair stuck to my damp cheeks, wet with tears that were continuing to fall. Troy's hand moved up and down my back, calming me.

"Gabby, I never meant to hurt you." he said, for the one hundredth time. I lifted my head off of his chest, and looked into his blue eyes. They were filled with so many words and emotions; things I had never before seen in Troy's eyes. Those big blue eyes that seemed to hold the answer to everything.

"I know you didn't, Troy." a single tear trickled down my cheek. "I just…I was so hurt, so confused, so…I felt betrayed, Troy. Betrayed by my boyfriend, my very best friend…betrayed by my everything. You have no idea what that felt like, Troy."

"I know, Gabriella…I know. I'm so sorry that this happened. I knew that these girls were capable of doing something like this, but I didn't know they actually would. I shouldn't have left you…it's my fault all this happened. I hate seeing you cry, Gabby." he poured out his apology once again. I knew what he was trying to do…he was trying to prove he was worth being my boyfriend, but he didn't have to prove anything to me. I knew he was worth it.

"It's not your fault, Troy. It's Sharpay's and Sydney's and Julie's. They hate me…that's not your fault." he kissed me lightly on my tear-covered cheek. We were quiet again. I looked at the clock, unaware so much time had passed. Letting out a shaky, tear-filled sigh, I broke the silence, "You should go home. You're parents are probably worried, and I don't want my mom to wake up with you here."

"Alright…" he started, getting up off the bed and sliding on his red and white Nike shoes. "I'll call you tomorrow?" he wiped away a tear that slowly rolled down my red cheek. I nodded in response to his question. Giving me one last kiss on the lips, he then turned to go out through the balcony door. I watched him as he climbed over the balcony, onto a low tree branch that hung close to it, down the tree, and watched as he sprinted across my yard to the fence gate that once he got through, would lead him to his dad's Ford pick-up that was waiting in front of the house. When I knew he was gone for the night, I curled back into my bed, not bothering to change into pajamas; unable to fall asleep, I lay there, looking up at the ceiling of my room, thinking about everything that had happened today. After thinking the whole day through again, which brought on more tears, I finally fell asleep, remembering Troy's kiss.

Two days later……Monday at school.

Sharpay's POV

Where are they? I thought as I tapped my foot impatiently on the tile floor of the cafeteria. I pulled out my cell phone, ready to hit speed dial two, just as Sydney and Julie walked in the double doors.

"Girls! There you are! I was starting to get worried." they looked back and forth between each other, unaware they were late, and wondering why I would be worried. "I have a new plan." We sat down and I filled them in on what would be happening.

"Um…okay." Sydney answered, almost unwilling. She knew not to disagree with Sharpay. Julie made on comment, and instead, just sat there looking down at her hands, fiddling around with her manicured fingers. I stare at the two of them; what was going on? Was I missing something? Not bothering to say good-bye, I grabbed my Prada purse and walked out of the cafeteria.

"Oh my god…" Julie started, once she knew I was out of the cafeteria. Her green eyes locking with Sydney's bright blue ones. They were both thinking the same thing; this war had to end. "What are we going to do Syd?"

"I don't know…she said we were putting the plan into action on Friday…." Sydney began to say, but was unable to finish because Julie interrupted her.

"What is it with Sharpay and Fridays??" the two blondes laugh together, neither of them knowing the answer.

"Anyway, if we're putting the plan into action on Friday…oh my god!" Sydney said, making Julie jump.

"What? What is it?" Julie stumbled with her words.

"I have an idea!" Syd shouted quietly between the two of them. "We should just tell Troy and Gabby about the plan. That way they're both ready for it." Julie nodded her head in agreement with their plan.

"When are we going to tell them?" Julie asked, and Sydney looked around the cafeteria, trying to spot the couple everyone was talking about.

"Ah…there they are." she pointed them out to Julie; they were sitting at a side table by the window by themselves, instead of the center table with all their friends. "We'll tell them now. C'mon." Sydney grabbed Julie and her light blue Coach purse, and ran down the stairs of the second level of the cafeteria to the first level. Gabby and Troy looked up as they approached the table.

Gabby's POV:

I feeling of hatred and nervousness filled my stomach as Julie and Sydney approached Troy and I at lunch. Troy took my hand under the table, and held it tight. I looked into his blue eyes; they promised not to let go.

"Um…can we talk to you?" Sydney began, her voice nervous and slightly scared. I looked from Troy to Sydney to Julie, and back again.

"About what?" Troy said clearly; he was not falling for anything they were doing today.

"About a few things…mostly about Sharpay's next plan, and how we want no part in it." Sydney said, and the hatred disappeared, being replaced with a feeling of worry and fear. Another plan? Doesn't she ever give up?

"…" I opened my mouth to talk, but nothing came out. My voice was filled with fear, unable to talk. Troy held my hand tighter.

"Sit." he said simply. They sat down at the two empty chairs at out table for four. "Start talking."

"First, we wanted to say how truly sorry we are for everything we've done to you two. We were just following Sharpay's orders…afraid of what would happen if we didn't. We never meant for anything like what happened last week to happen. We are sorry and ashamed about it. We know you might not forgive us; even so, we wanted to tell you about her next plan, that she wants us to participate in, but we are going to refuse to. This isn't right. We don't even know why she hates you, Gabby, and we don't hate you, so it doesn't make much sense." Sydney said, honesty and sincerity filled her voice; she wasn't lying about this. Troy opened his mouth to talk, thinking I was still unable to, but I spoke instead.

"You're forgiven, Sydney. And Julie." I answered in response to her apology. The two looked at me, along with Troy, shocked that I had actually spoken those words.

"Wha…" Julie started, but I interrupted.

"You're forgiven. Now, what's her next plan?" I asked, the feeling in my stomach slowly disappearing. They began informing us of the long plan, in great detail, ending with it being put into action on Friday. I sat back in my seat, a feeling of hatred toward Sharpay washing over me.

"Oh God…Friday?" Troy asked; I stayed quiet, pale as a ghost.

"Yeah, Friday. She has some sort of attachment to Fridays, I think." Julie answered, not thinking anything of Troy's question. This Friday was April 14th.

"She has a reason for picking that day…and I know the reason." Troy said, his voice shaking slightly, in fear of losing me in some way.

"Why? What's the reason?" Sydney and Julie asked together.

"It's my birthday." I said, emphasizing every word, making sure they heard. They looked at me, their eyes said it all; they couldn't believe Sharpay would do that to me…on my birthday. Even though I had no trouble believing…Sharpay would do anything to ruin my life, and her latest lie was going to destroy it all.

Well, there you have it! Hope you liked it! Sorry more wasn't given away about the plan, I bet you're all dying to know! I assure you, in the next chapter the plan will be revealed. I will try to update as soon as possible! In the mean time, reviews make me happy! :
