Here's an update! I don't really know what to write in this authors note, so just look at the one at the bottom thats usually more important :)

HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY VANESSA ANNE HUDGENS! :)

Gabriella sighed, rolling her body and facing away from him, moving further away. Troy sighed, pulling her in. "Night, Ella" he said into her hair. "I love you"

She turned her head and looked at him, into his deep, crystal blue eyes. She kissed his lips and faced the other way. "Night."

"Awh, they are so cute" Sharpay said cooing at the couple sleeping.

Taylor laughed, " I know"

"Too bad we're gonna have to wake them up" Kelsi said, looking at Troy and Gabriella while they're sleeping. Gabriella's head was laid on top of Troy's right chest, her right arm draped across his torso. Troy's face was facing Gabriella's and his left arm was tight around her body. It was the cutest sight to see.

Kelsi, Sharpay and Taylor were sitting on the ground, their backs to the light blue wall, just watching the couple sleep. "Does anyone have a camera?" Taylor asked.

"Yup, my phone camera, and my real camera" Sharpay smiled. It was around 7 in the morning, so the girls were the only ones awake.

"Insane" Kelsi muttered, then smiled knowing Sharpay had heard. The three girls took out their phone camera's and Sharpay's regular digital camera. They took pictures of the couple. "It's gonna be their next Christmas card" Kelsi smiled. The girls all giggled and sat back down against the wall.

"I think we should leave and let them sleep" Taylor suggested. They agreed, about ready to stand up, Troy stirred. They stood frozen, hoping he wouldn't wake up.

Troy's eyes fluttered open, breathing out noisily. He looked down at the girl in his arms and smiled, not noticing their friends. At this point, the girls were sitting against the wall again. From where the girls were sitting they could see Troy looking at Gabriella longingly. Troy sighed, frowning. He kissed her on the lips lightly, hoping it wouldn't wake her. He pulled back and smiled.. "Beautiful" he murmured.

Sharpay frowned, and looked at the other two girls. They were frowning too, obviously thinking the same thoughts. Sharpay's eyes went to Troy again, "You really love her, don't you?" she spoke without a thought.

Troy smiled, a little sadly. "Yeah," he said quietly. Gabriella stirred, moving a little further away from him. He frowned and pulled her back to his side, and she snuggled into him, and a grin reappeared on his face. "So much" he added.

"Why are you doing this though, Troy?" Kelsi asked.

Troy breathed out of his nose, "I just want to help her, I don't think I would let another guy help her do all of this" he sighed, playing with Gabriella's messed-up curls.

The girls frowned sympathetically, their eyes stinging with tears. It was so sad to them, how Troy was in love with Gabriella, more than she even knows. Yet, she was with Jake and liked him a lot. Even if Troy was with Meredith -- it didn't even seem like they were together.

"Troy," Taylor started. "I don't think you should be doing this anymore," she stated quietly.

Kelsi agreed, "Yeah Troy. You're just hurting yourself more, doing all of this and your just getting in too deep."

"Don't blame Ella, alright?" his tone was a little harsh, but still quiet. "I offered this, she's my best friend, she wants this dream and I am going to help fulfill this dream."

The three women were taken aback. Gabriella stirred again, sighing afterwards. Troy sighed in relief, she didn't wake up. "Troy, you need to stop. You're hurting yourself, and when you're hurt, we all are."

Troy sighed once again, hoping to stay quiet. "I'm fine, i'm not hurt, and Gabriella's not hurt. You guys just have to let it go. Thanks for trying to care of me, but I don't really need it."

Taylor gasped, "Troy, We're trying to help you. We know Gabs isn't doing this intentionally. Its just, you have this look like your in pain when she's around Jake."

"I admit, I don't like seeing her with Jake, but its what makes her happy."

"But you're not happy" Kelsi pointed.

"As long as she's happy, I am." he replied.

"But not genuinely." Sharpay protested.

"I see her everyday. I get to see her beautiful, angelic face everyday. I see her gorgeous smile, I see her happy. I think thats enough to make me happy."

A sob comes out of no where, and Troy feels his right side a bit wet. He jolts up seeing little strips of tears coming from Gabriella's closed eyes. "Ella!?" he asked frantically.

He was in pain. My best friend was in pain. All because of me. How could I? What kind of a person am I? How could Troy love me? He's my best friend. I'm his best friend. That's not suppose to happen!

I lied there, listening to them talk. Troy woke me up by kissing me, and he thought he didn't wake me up. Then, I heard him call me beautiful. I heard Sharpay and the rest of the girls. I pretended to be asleep, when I should have just woken up. I didn't want to hear that from Troy.

I didn't want to hear any of it.

And now, it was too late. I don't know what to do now. I'm hurting my best friend, im hurting Troy. And when im hurting Troy, im hurting all of our other friends. I can't help but cry, my eyes, tight shut, trying not to let these tears fall. Why does Troy love me? Why can't I love him back for crying out loud. I don't want him to suffer because of me.

Sharpay, Kelsi and Taylor. Were they accusing me? It kind of sounded like they were, but Troy stood up for me. Oh my god. I don't want him to love me. What do I do now? I don't want to hurt him. Whyyyyyyyyyy? My best friend, no. I don't even love him. And I led him on. How could I? What is wrong with me?

I'm hurting the most important person in the world to me.

I couldn't hold it in anymore. I cried.

Sorry about the shortness. I actually liked how this chapter played out. I didn't want this to be the kind of chapter on Baby V's birthday! Very very sad. ):but, even if this chapter was kinda sad – at least it was what I was aiming for – it was my favorite so far.

Remember, it's still Gabriella's birthday in the story.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VANESSA HUDGENS!
