Hey guys. It's been awhile since I wrote a chapter for Chat Room Love. I didn't know what to do for the next chapter but now I have an idea. It won't be that long of a chapter because it's not a big chapter. I hope you like it. Enjoy!

Chapter 12

Gabriella's Hide Out

Troy was walking the halls looking for his girlfriend. It's been a week since Troy and Chad has moved to San Diego and everyone was getting used of them being around. Gabriella was even being less picked on instead of Rock who is the only one that is causing problems but Troy, Chad, and Tyler are always around to stop anything. But right now, Troy was looking for Gabriella who he hasn't seen since first period.

He was about to give up until he heard someone singing through a door. This caused him to be confused until he stepped closer to the door and kept hearing the singing voice of an angel. He didn't know who it was but he sort of had a feeling of who it was so he slowly opened the door and found stairs in front of him. He looked around before he stepped in and closed the door quietly before walking up the stairs slowly. As he reached the top, he looked to the right and saw his beautiful girlfriend singing as she was sitting on a bench.

He smiled before he walked all the way up and showed himself, "Now why have I not heard that my beautiful girlfriend can sing like an angel?"

Gabriella stopped and looked at him shocked, "What are you doing here?"

"I was looking for you," Troy smiled at her before he walked over and sat next to her, "What are you doing up here?"

She shrugged, "I always come up here when I just want to be alone or away from people."

"Even from me?" Gabriella shrugged again looking at him, "Sweetie, what's wrong?"

"Nothing I swear," she gave him a small smile, "I'm just really used to being up here. This is my hide out that I only know about since I am a part of the science club and didn't tell any other members."

Troy gave her a smile before kissing her cheek, "So hide out huh?"

"Yeah," she nodded before looking around, "this is the rooftop garden, not even my brother knows that I come up here."

"Wow," he smiled placing his arm around his girlfriend, "now about the singing…"

Gabriella sighed looking at him, "No one knows that I sing, also not even Tyler. If they knew, they would I don't know, treat me differently."

"And is that a bad thing?"

"Maybe," she looked away, "it might give Rock something to use against me."

"Hey," Troy moved her face towards him using his hand, "nothing Rock does will make people think of you differently. Not even me. I told you, Chad and I will take care of you. We both care about you and Chad thinks of you like a sister and no one messes with a guy's sister. You should let people see your talent and maybe they will treat you better."

"I like to have a hidden talent," she giggled slightly.

"Well you're going to have to let that hidden talent out," he kissed her nose, "because I love your voice. You have a voice like an angel and you should let people hear it. Hey who knows, maybe you will become a pop star and show these people that they can't let anything get to you anymore."

She rolled her eyes a little, "Troy…"

"What?" He shrugged, "I'm serious."

"Whatever," Gabriella leaned into his body, "I love having you here."

"Well I love being here with you," he pulled her closer to him, "I don't think there is anywhere else that I would rather be."

Gabriella looked up at him, "Thank you."

"Stop thanking me," Troy leaned down and placed a kiss on her lips before pulling away placing his forehead on her forehead, "you don't need to thank me anymore. I'm your boyfriend, I'm supposed to make sure that you are ok, no matter what."

She gave him a smile before hearing the bell, "We should go."

"Fine," he chuckled before standing up and taking her hand as they walked down the stairs and back into the hallways.

Gabriella thought about what Troy said about showing people her hidden talent. She didn't know if she should or how people would react to it. She looked at Troy who wrapped his arm around her shoulders and knew that no matter what happens, he would always be there for her. Maybe she should show her hidden talent, at least to her brother.

I hate this chapter…lol…I hoped it was going to be written better but I didn't know what happened. I already told you that it was going to be short and here it is. A short chapter. I need ideas for this story as well. Please leave some ideas in your reviews and I'll think them over. Thank you.
