Chapter 20 Right Beside Me
It had been a week since the trial of Jack Bolton. Troy couldn't have been happier. Rich Black asked Troy if he wanted to live with him and Troy said he would think about it, he finally made the decision of living with his new father and get to know him a lot better. so what Troy and Gabriella and there friends were doing was packing his stuff and bringing it to his new home.
"Dude how many stuff do you have. I have been up and down the stairs 16 times and still there is a bunch of your stuff everywhere." Chad said
"Chad your such a baby you see Brie and Taylor carrying my stuff and there not complaining it wont take much longer and besides my side hasn't healed yet from the gun shot wound. I cant do much yet." Troy said lifting up one of his boxes. just then Gabriella and Taylor walked into the room.
"Man Chad can you be that loud i could hear you from down the stairs. I still cant believe you are moving in with your father, I am going too miss you so much, I am so used to you in my bed when I walk up in the morning and also Vanessa shes going to wonder why your not hear that much anymore." Gabriella said
"Hey Brie you know I am a phone call away and I will be over here everyday but I wont sleep over as much. also you can come to my house and you can bring Vanessa with you and we could have like a sleep over, I'm going to miss you too this has been my real home and all of you are my family so I really am going to miss this place." Troy said
"Well your always welcome here Troy it was a pleasure of having you here." Mike Montez said looking at Troy.
"Thanks for bringing me in. it really means a lot to me if I could make it up too you I would." Troy said
"Just as long as you keep my daughter safe and treat her well then you don't have too make it up to me just you being with her makes me happy she found someone like you don't ever let her go" Mike said
"I promise you Mike I will never hurt her and I will keep her safe and take good care of her while I am with her." Troy said
"Well that's the last of your stuff Troy we should get going, your friends can come over too since it's your house now and I love all you guys so come on lets head out." Rich Black said all of them went in there cars and headed to Rich's and Troys new house. The Wildcats got there and they put Troy's boxes in his room after about a good hour they were finally done and all of them were in the living room watching TV and talking to each other.
"You got a beautiful Place Mr. Black" Gabriella said
"Oh please Gabriella call me Rich in school I am Mr. Black but when your here all of you for that matter call me Rich. OK." Rich said
"OK" Gabriella said
"Thanks this house was my mothers, she wanted me to have this house because I grew up here and when my mom passed she wrote in her will that I would be the owner of the house and I just couldn't give it up because there are a lot of good memories here. Lot about your mother Troy." Rich said
"what was she like when she was our age." Troy asked looking at his father. while his arms were around Gabriella's waist because she was sitting on Troy's lap. Gabriella lased her fingers with his.
"She was amazing I met her Freshman year and I fell in love with her the moment i laid eyes on her. She was sweet and kind she got along with everyone. I loved her so much, I still do, i just wish I could have done something to save her, it's my fault she is dead." Rich said in a sad voice Rich looked down on the ground away from Troy.
"Dad that is not true, you kept telling her to get out of the relationship but she never left him. it's not your fault it's Jacks fault. I want all of you to come with me." Troy said and pulled Gabriella up with him and he held Gabriella's hand and led her too the door.
"Where are you talking us." Chad said looking at Troy confused
"You'll see maybe this will cheer everyone up and this person is very special too me your going to love her." Troy said Gabriella figured where Troy was going to take them and that person they were going to see was Troy's mother Emily.
10 minutes later Troy pulled up by the cemitary and got out. he and Gabriella waited for everyone to get out there cars. Rich got out of his car and then Chad and Taylor then Sharpay and Zeke. they walked over to Gabriella and Troy.
"Why are we at a cemitary they freak me out." Chad said. Taylor hit him across the head.
"Chad be nice Troy will explain why he brought us here just let him talk you idiot." Taylor said
"Sorry Troy, and Tay don't call me an idiot." Chad said
"well sometimes you can be and right now you are now shut up." Taylor said everyone was now laughing at the couple.
"The reason why I brought you all here is because I want you guys to talk with my mom. I haven't seen her since the day Gabriella found out the truth about me getting beat up by Jack. I thought that maybe if all of you could talk to her and maybe it will make you feel better, because I know it helps me and I know all of you loved her when she was around and we were all friends." Troy said
"Sounds good I loved your mom she was like a second mother to me." Chad said
"Just talk to her it will make you feel a whole lot better and Dad it will help you she will be so happy to see you and hear you. I know she will be listening. I know she doesn't blame you she loved you very much even though I didn't know you new each other until a month ago but just the way you talk about your relationship and the letter she gave me she really didn't love you." Troy said walking over to his father and putting his arm on his shoulder.
"Thanks son, I'm just nervous." Rich said
"I am too, but like I said before it will really help and make you feel better." Troy said with that they all headed to Troy's mother's grave. on the grave it said Emily Marie Bolton loving mother, friend, and wife she will be forever missed. 1962 too 2000. one by one everyone said something to Emily and then it was Rich's turn. Rich sat down and traced the letters of her name of her grave stone.
"Hey there Em it's me Rich, I know your thinking what took me so long to come here. well actually it was our son that said if i talked to you I would feel better. I blame myself for everything. I could have stopped Jack when I had the chance, but I didn't and you had to pay for it by dying. I just wish you were here to tell me what to do you were my rock and it killed me to be away from you but i had too because you were with Jack. For now on I will be coming here and talk to you because Troy was right I do feel better. just remember I love you so much and I will never stop." Rich said then got up Troy walked over to his father and hugged him.
"See told you." Troy said
"Yeah you did. well I'm going to head home I will see you later." Rich said and walked to his car one by one everyone left until it was just Troy and Gabriella. they walked to his car.
"So where do you want to go next." Troy said
"I was thinking the beach just the two of us no friends no parents and not my sister I love her to death but I want to spend alone time with you." Gabriella said
"Sounds good too me. Next Stop to the beach." Troy said and Gabriella giggled and Troy drove to the beach.
Troy and Gabriella were walking down the beach there feet were in the water the sun was setting and to Gabriella it looked beautiful she loved being at the beach when it was almost dark because the sun and Ocean looked cool because of the colors it was like a postcard you could take a picture and it would look like that.
"Thanks Gabriella." Troy said out of the blew Gabriella looked confused and stopped walking and faced Troy looking into his eyes.
"For what." Gabriella said
"For just being you and for being there when I needed it. You were Right Beside Me the whole time and if I tried to push you away you would never give up on me. I am so grateful that I have you." Troy said holding Gabriella closer too him.
"I'm grateful to have you too. I wanted to help you, even when we weren't talking I still cared I always wanted to know why you skipped school all the time. I just wanted to have my best friend back and I did. I tried to push you out of my mind all those years ago but I couldn't. like your father said too your mother you are my rock and I would be lost if I wasn't with you." Gabriella said
"I know what you mean I would be too. Your my guarding Angel Brie you saved me I love you so much and I never want to let you go." Troy said and with that Troy leaned in they kissed each other with passion. a little kiss turned into a hot make out session. and before they new it they were laying in the sand. Gabriella was under Troy when breathing became an issue they stopped kissing and just started into each others eyes.
"Never leave me, never let me go, I love you too, you are my world and I wouldn't have it any other way your stuck with me Troy Alexander Bolton because I am not going anywhere." Gabriella said
"Good because I will be right there by you every step of the way. Your the one for me and no one will ever take your place." Troy said
"No one will take your place either, kiss me Troy I need you too touch me. I need you to be inside me." Gabriella said. Troy didn't need to be told twice and did what he was told. minutes later they were in nothing but there underwear and for Gabriella her bra was on too.
"I don't want this night to end." Gabriella said kissing Troy's neck.
"With me baby it will never end." Troy said Gabriella looked at Troy and smiled then she went for his boxers. then a couple minutes later they were naked on the beach holding each other.
"I Love You Troy." Gabriella said
"I Love you too Brie. Always and forever." Troy said and kissed Gabriella on the head. That night they just laid in the sand watching the stars. Everything was perfect and nothing could change there mood at the moment. Troy and Gabriella just new they would love each other forever.
