After about 5 minutes, Troy walked over to Gabriella with hurt written all over his face.
He was confused when he saw tears in her eyes too.
He said "We need to talk."
Gabriella put her hand up as if saying 'stop' and said "Save it. I know what you're gonna say. We can't go on this isn't working out, I can't do this, and all that other crap. I know."
Troy looked at her in confusion and said "What are you talking about?"
Gabriella said "Hiding the truth! You just got blackmailed, didn't you?"
Troy broke the eye contact and nodded.
Gabriella said "So that's it? The day after we make up and make out we brake up again?"
She could tell that Troy was on the verge of crying.
He said "How'd you know?"
Gabriella nodded in Ryan's direction and said "Devil's twin."
Troy nodded in understanding.
Gabriella said "Get it over with."
Troy looked at her and she looked away.
She couldn't take the hurt in his eyes.
He gathered up the rest of his energy to do one of the hardest things he'd ever ever have to do.
Then he said "Gabriella. I love you, but, I just... I... I can't do this anymore."
Gabriella looked at the ground, tears spilling from her face. She knew Troy was going to break up with her, but it hurt even more to hear it happening.
Troy said "This 'us' thing... isn't working out."
Tears were now streaming down his face.
He continued with difficulty.
"I... have no choice."
Gabriella took in a deep breath. She knew what came next.
"We have to break up."
Gabriella buried her face in her hands and ran to the gate.
Troy didn't bother to follow her.
