Since Griffin's pain was still extreme, they decided to keep him in the hospital until October 2nd.

And it was Gabriella's birthday.

Gabriella approached her locker and grabbed her bag from it. She shut it hard and leaned against the locker.

She stared hard at Haylie, Elise, and Brieanne as they walked past her.

And suddenly, Haylie stopped.

"What's your problem with us?" Haylie approached Gabriella. "I said I was sorry for all the things that I did!"

"That will NEVER change the fact that you convinced me that getting pregnant was a good thing. You took advantage of my boyfriend. You've made my life a living hell!" Gabriella began to walk away. "My fucking kid is in the hospital right now, so don't bother me."

Haylie followed her as Brieanne and Elise stayed behind. "That's not my fault! Can't we just be friends again?" Haylie tried to smile a little as Gabriella turned around.

"I'll never be friends with you, bitch!" Gabriella growled. "You're a slutty whore who sleeps with other peoples' boyfriends!"

Troy entered the school and shoved his keys in his pocket. He immediatly identified Haylie and Gabriella fighting in the middle of the hallway.

"Oh no... " Troy sighed.

"You're the one who agreed to get pregnant!" Haylie yelled. "So don't tell me it's my fault!"

"You convinced me that getting pregnant and having a baby was the best thing in the world! Well, it's nowhere near the best thing in the world! It's the hardest thing you'll ever do! Yeah, I love my son, but I wish I never would have listened to your bullshit!"

Haylie sighed. "I told you I was sorry for all those things! Can we forget the past so we aren't enemies in the future?"

"HELL NO!" Gabriella screamed in her face.

"Gabriella!" Troy grabbed her arm. "Come on, let's go!" He started to drag her across the floor.

"This isn't the last you'll ever hear from me, Haylie! You'll get the payback you deserve!" Gabriella struggled to pull away from Troy. "PAYBACK'S A BITCH, HAYLIE!" She screamed.

Troy finally dragged her outside.

"Calm down Gabriella!" He grabbed her shoulders and held them tight. "Please just calm down!"

"I'll never back down to a fight with that bitch!" Gabriella struggled once again to be free.

Troy sighed. "Come on, let's go to your house."

"This isn't the last you'll see me, Haylie Kayne!" Gabriella yelled as Haylie walked out of the school. Troy picked her up and took her away. But she screamed at Haylie the entire time.

Once he finally got to his truck, he opened the door and threw her inside. He ran to the other side, started the truck, and backed out of the parking lot.

"She's gonna get what she deserves one of these days... " Gabriella crossed her arms.

"Yeah well, she's not getting it today." Troy stopped at a stoplight and looked at Gabriella. "What has been up with you lately? You've been so protective over me, and it should be the other way around."

A tear fell down her face. "I don't want to lose you again... "

He laughed a little. "Baby, you'll never lose me again. You're stuck with me." He grabbed one of her hands. "I love you."

She nodded. "I love you too much to let you go."

...

Gabriella slid under the blankets in her bed. She was accompanied by the love of her life, Troy. Colt rested at Griffin's door, waiting for his best friend to come home.

Troy pulled the rubber band holding Gabriella's hair in a ponytail off and set it on the dresser. He then messed her hair up and grinned.

"I wish you'd wear you hair down every day."

"I wear it down almost every day, Troy." Gabriella raised an eyebrow. "And I wish you had dark brown hair every day, but that doesn't happen, does it?"

He chuckled. "You really wish I had dark brown hair?"

"No." She pecked his lips with a smile. "I love you just the way you are."

"I love you all the time, from dusk to dawn, from January to December, from the dawn of life to the end of the world, I love you." He stroked her cheek and kissed her nose.

"I love you too." She moved closer to him. "My cute boyfriend."

"You think I'm cute?" Troy raised an eyebrow.

"No, you're sexy."

"You think?"

"No, I know." She kissed his lips softly. "You're my sexy and hot man."

"Really... " He grabbed her shoulder and squeezed it through repeated kisses.

"Mhm." She dug into his lips hard. "Sexy... "

"Gorgeous, hot, sexy... " Troy lifted himself up from lying down. He pushed her to the middle of the bed. "Beautiful... "

She didn't resist him. "God, I love you." She squeezed his shoulder as he climbed over her. "I need this so badly... "

"So do I... " He leaned down and kissed her roughly.

"More than ever... " Gabriella pulled his shirt off of his head.

He gladly allowed her to take his shirt off, then unzipped her jeans and pulled them down her slender legs. "So, so badly... "

Troy threw his shirt and her jeans onto Colt. He whined and set his head on them.

"Baby, the door... " Gabriella groaned as he got off of her, not wanting the pleasure to go away. "Come back... "

Love overtook them quickly.

...

Gabriella held Troy's hand under the blankets. He ran his other hand's fingers up and down her back, staring into her eyes.

"I hope your mom and dad didn't hear." He chuckled and kissed her forehead.

She smiled. "Let's hope not."

Troy started panting. "I love you so much baby... So, so much... "

"I love you too." She ran her fingers through his brown hair and stared into his eyes. "I wanna be with you for the rest of my life." She snuggled into his chest. "I don't want you to ever leave."

"I'll never leave you and Griffin forever... " He squeezed her gently. "Never... "

And thus, life was thought to be great...
