The next morning, I woke up with a smile on my face as I had my head on Troy's chest as our bodies were molded together. I looked at my left hand and my smile grew wider as I realized that it all wasn't a dream. Troy had actually proposed. We were getting married.
"You know if u stop looking at it, it's not going to disappear." I looked up as I saw my fiancée looking at me with a smirk.
"I know..it's just…it's all so surreal." I said with a smile.
"I know, but trust me its real." Troy told me as he leaned down and kissed me.
After our little morning make out, we had finally decided to get up and make breakfast. After breakfast, we decided to call our mothers and tell them the news.
"Hello" "Hi mom." "Ella, sweetie. How are you? How is Troy?"
"We're great actually. We called to talk to you and Lucille. Is she around?"
"Yeah, hold on."
"Hi sweetie." Lucille said as I knew my mom had but us on speaker phone.
"Hi" Troy and I said together.
"Okay honey, what's the news."
"We'll what do you guys think about weddings." I said as Troy chuckled.
"We love them, why?" My mom asked confused.
"Well Troy proposed last night. We're getting married." I said as we heard our mother's screams through the phone.
We laughed at their excitement as it seemed they were happier than we were.
"Oh My goodness. That's great. Oh my we have so much to do." Lucille said making us laugh.
"Mom we just got engage, we haven't even chosen a date." Troy said as he shook his head.
"Nonsense, you can never start too early." She said as we both just shook our heads.
"Okay well we have to go. We can talk all this wedding stuff later."
"Okay kids, love you."
"Love you too." Troy and I said as we hung up.
"I don't know who's more excited, them or us." Troy said as I laughed.
"Babe I'm leaving." I told Troy as I walked out of the room to see him and the guys all sitting around the living room.
"Where are you going?"
"Out with the girls. I'm going to tell them about the engagement."
"Dude you did it." Chad said as he looked at Troy shocked as I laughed.
"Yeah he did." I said holding my hand out to show them the ring.
"Congrats guys." Zeke said as he hugged me.
"Thanks. I have to go. I'll see you guys later." I said as I kissed Troy.
"Okay be safe."
"Always." I said with a smile as I left.
The girls and I were meeting up at Red Lobster for lunch and I couldn't wait to tell them the news. I pulled into the parking lot and walked in to see the girls had already had a table.
"Hey girls, sorry I'm late. Your boys were at mines." I said as sat in between my sister and Kelsi.
"When are they not?" Sharpay said as we all nodded and laughed.
"Okay so Ella, what's this big news that you have?" My sister asked as I smirked.
"Oh I just wanted to know how would you girls feel about being bridesmaids."
"Huh?" They all said looking at me confused.
"Troy proposed." I told them as I held my hand out. I laughed as they all squealed while grabbing my hand and looking at my ring.
"OMG I can't believe it, you're getting married." Taylor said as she looked at the ring.
"You can't believe it, I can't believe it and I was there." I said as I giggled.
"Did you tell mom and Lucille?" Alex asked after a while.
"Yeah, Troy said that they were probably more excited then us."
"How could they not, we're having a wedding." Sharpay said as she clapped her hands and we laughed at her.
"Babe we're back." I yelled through the apartment as the girls and I had walked in 2 hours later. Before he could reply the girls had already ran into the living room to hug him.
"OMG Troy we are so proud of you." I laughed as I saw them all hanging off of him.
"Um Brie..Care to explain."
"I told them about the engagement." I said as his mouth made and "o" shape.
"Troy the ring is beautiful." Alex said as they all had finally gone to sit next to their guy.
"He got it made. He said he couldn't find the perfect one, so he got mine made." I said as I smiled up at him and he kissed my forehead.
"Awwww." The girls all said as the boys rolled their eyes.
"Thanks a lot dude, now we have to figure out how to out do you." Jason said as the girls laughed.
"You can try, that's all I got to say." He said as we all laughed as the guys glared at him.
"Troy, I can't believe you hid this from us." Sharpay said.
"I can. If he would have told you girls, you would have told Gabi." Zeke said.
"That's not true." Kelsi said as they all looked at the girls.
"Okay maybe it is." Alex said as we all laughed.
Months later, Troy and I were 2 weeks away from our engagement party. We had decided to have our wedding on October 15 in Hawaii. I always wanted to get married there and Troy said he didn't care just as long as I was happy. It was the end of March now so we had like 6-7 months. We had found a great wedding planner and so far everything was going great. We were lying in our bed watching a movie, when all of a sudden my phone rang.
"Hello"
"GABRIELLA ADRIANNA MONTEZ..DO YOU MIND EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!"
"Um dad, for one can you like stop yelling and two what are you talking about."
"Why the HELL am I holding and invitation to the engagement party of Gabriella Adrianna Montez and Troy Robert Bolton!?"
"Well you are holding that because I thought that maybe you would like to know that we are having an engagement party."
"YOU ARE MARRYING THAT BOY."
"Yes dad I am. I know you know because mom told me she told you. I thought that you would be happy for me." I said getting angry.
Here we go again. I was tired of hearing him talk about Troy. He knows I love him, why can't he just be happy. I listen to him yell at me before I finally snapped.
"You know what dad, I don't care what you say. We love each other and I thought that you knowing we are getting married, that you would let all of this go, but I guess not. I love him dad, why can't you just understand that." I said.
"Gabriella, if you marry that boy, I'm not coming to that wedding." When he said that tears came to my eyes as I couldn't believe he would go that low.
"I guess you're not coming then." I said as I hung up. I let the tears slip out of my eyes as I felt Troy's arms around my waist.
"I'm sorry baby." He whispered in my ear and I cried into his chest.
"He told me that if I marry you, then he's not coming to the wedding. I told him that if he felt that way then he shouldn't come." I said as Troy rubbed my back.
"If he feels that way then I don't want him there. I don't care anymore."
"Are you sure baby?"
"Yes, he can go to hell for all I care. I love you and if he can't see that then all well." I said as Troy just kissed my forehead.
The next morning, Troy and Gabriella were asleep when Troy's phone decided to ring. Without even looking at the caller id, Troy answered the phone half-sleep.
"Hello."
"TROY ROBERT BOLTON..WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING?"
"Dad, do you have any idea what time it is here?" Troy asked his father as he stepped out of the room as to not disturb his fiancé.
"I don't give a rat's ass about what time it is. Are you seriously marrying that Montez girl?" Jack yelled to his son as Troy sighed.
"Yes dad I am and in 6 months, she will be a Bolton and I was hoping that you would let the hatred go and actually come to the wedding. I mean dad, she loves me. I haven't felt this way about any girl. Shouldn't that be the only thing that matters?"
"Troy you're making a mistake if you marry that girl."
"Well it's my life and my choice so you can go to hell for all I care." Troy said as he hung up on his father.
He closed his eyes and sighed. He knew that it was a matter of time before his father called him snapping off. Just like Gabriella, he thought that the engagement would stop the fighting but they were wrong.
"Babe, are you ok." Troy turned around to see Gabriella standing in the doorway.
"Yeah I'm fine. How much did you hear?"
"Enough to know that he won't be at the wedding."
"I'm sorry if we woke you up."
"It's fine. Are you sure you're okay." Gabriella asked as Troy nodded pulling her into a hug.
"It's like you said, if they can't accept that we love each other and want to get married, it's their lost."
"I love you." Gabriella said as she looked up at him with a smile.
"I love you too." Troy said as he leaned down to kiss her.
It was the night of Troy's and I engagement party and everything was in full swing. The restaurant that Zeke worked at let us have the party there since Zeke is one of their best employs. We had invited all of our friends and family and they were all excited for us and the wedding.
"Hey Sis, guess who made it." I heard Alex say. I turned around and squealed when I saw my mom, future mother-in-law and my little brother.
"Omg, you guys made it." I said gleefully as I hugged them.
"Of course we made it. We wouldn't miss this for the world." My mom said with a smile.
"When did you get t New York?"
"Last night. We're staying in the family house." Eric said as he had his video camera around his neck.
After he found out about the wedding, he decided to be our own personal camera man since he loves making videos. Since my father has a lot of clients that live in New York, he just decided to buy a house here so that when we were in New York, we didn't have to stay in a hotel.
"I'm so glad you guys made it. Troy's going to be happy you're here too." I said with a smile.
"Speaking of my son, where is he?" Lucille said as I spotted Troy talking to one of his friends from the college.
"Troy!" I yelled as he turned around. I waved him over and once he got close enough, he smiled when he noticed our moms and his future brother.
"Hey guys." He said hugging them. "Glad you could make it."
"Like I told my daughter, we wouldn't miss this for the world."
"I guess the same couldn't be said about our fathers." Troy said with a roll of his eyes as he wrapped his arms around my waist from behind. Our mothers just gave us a sad smile.
"I'm sorry kids. You know how stubborn they are. We are still working on getting them to come to the wedding." Lucille said.
"If they don't wanna come and be happy for us, then they don't need to be there." I said firmly.
"Yeah mom; I'll walk Ella down the aisle since dad is acting like and idiot." Eric said with a smile as he looked at me. I pulled him in for a hug. At least he wasn't like our dad.
"Thanks bro." I said as I kissed him on the cheek.
Everyone laughed when he pulled back from me and started to wipe his cheek where I kissed him.
"Well that was fun." Zeke said as him and Sharpay entered their apartment hours later after the engagement party.
"Yeah, I can't wait for the wedding." Sharpay said excited. "We're going to look at dresses tomorrow."
Zeke just smiled as he looked at his girlfriend. He loved how her eyes lit up when she was excited about something. He knew that when it would be their turn, she would be even more excited. Hopefully by that time, their fathers would let this hatred go and actually come to their wedding, unlike Jack and Greg.
"Hello…anyone home?" Sharpay said as she waved her hand in front of Zeke's face.
"Huh..I'm sorry baby; what were you saying?"
"I was asking when where you guys were going to get your tuxes."
"Oh tomorrow I think." Zeke said as he pulled Sharpay in for a kiss.
"What was that for? Not that I'm complaining." Sharpay asked once they pulled back.
"Do I have to have a reason to kiss my beautiful, smart, loving girlfriend?" Zeke said with a sly smile as Sharpay blushed.
"I guess not." She said with a smile as she gave him another kiss, this one with more passion.
"I love you my Princess." Zeke told her as Sharpay smiled when she heard her favorite nickname from him.
"I love you too, my prince charming." Sharpay said with a smile.
