A/N: So yeah..here's the next chapter :)

The four all got ready to go out - well the girls did. While Gabriella and Taylor were doing their hair and make-up, the two guys were sitting in the living room with the adults. About 15 minutes later, Taylor and Gabriella walked into the living room, both looking stunning. Once Troy saw Gabriella, he smiled and she gave him a peck on the cheek. They both then said goodbye to the adults, and Taylor and Chad followed them to the door.

"So, where are we going?" Gabriella asked once they'd shut the door.

Troy looked at Chad, who smiled. "It's a surprise."

Gabriella smiled, and looked at Taylor, who shook her head. She had no idea where they were going. Taylor looked up at Chad, trying to get a hint out of him but he just smiled and shook her head. Taylor sighed and shrugged her shoulders to Gabriella.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gabriella and Taylor both gasped when they realised where they'd stopped at.

"Troy, you're joking, right?" Gabriella asked.

Troy shook his head, unsure if she was glad or unhappy that they were here.

"Why, don't you want to go here?" Troy asked.

Gabriella shook her head. "No, it's not that. It's just..well - I didn't think we were going to a restaurant. Let alone one of the most expensive ones!"

Troy smiled. "Well we are. We got a little help with the money."

Gabriella smiled and looked over at Chad and Taylor. Taylor was thinking the exact same thing as Gabriella, and Chad just smiled proudly.

"Well, shall we go in?" Troy asked, in a posh voice.

Gabriella laughed and shook her head, while walking in besides Troy.

When they were in, Troy told the waiter, "The Boltons' and Danforths' please?"

The waiter nodded and showed them their table. Once the four had all sat down, Gabriella looked at Troy.

"The Boltons' and Danforths' ey?" She smiled.

Troy nodded and grinned.

Gabriella smiled and rested her head on Troy's shoulder as he looked through the menu. Chad was looking comfy on the other side of the table, with Taylor snuggling upto him. Gabriella sighed - she'd been so happy these past two months, and now she was going to have to throw it all away.

Before Gabriella could think about her friends leaving anymore, she was asked by Troy what she wanted to eat. Gabriella looked at the menu for a bit, and chose a salad. She didn't feel like eating much.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once they'd finished their meals, Chad asked the waiter for the bill. As soon as they paid, the four stood up and walked out of the restaurant. As it was cold, Taylor was walking close to Chad - her arms around his waist, while Gabriella was doing the same to Troy. Troy smiled as he smelt Gabriella's scent.

After a few minutes of walking, the gang got to a park, which was only round the corner from Gabriella's house. As they didn't want to go home yet - the sooner they got to Gabriella's house, the quicker time would go by, and the quicker they'd all be leaving, they sat down on a bench.

Gabriella snuggled upto Troy - she was cold and tired, but didn't want to leave Troy's side. Troy smiled when she heard her breathing get quieter - he could tell she was very tired, but he didn't want to leave her either.

After about an hour of talking, and Troy realising that Gabriella was about to fall asleep any minute, he figured it was time to be heading back. Wrapping his arm around Gabriella's shoulders, Troy and Gabriella started walking - Chad and Taylor following closely behind.

When they got to Gabriella's house, Troy went upto Gabriella's bedroom to say goodnight.

"Don't leave me." Gabriella said.

"I won't." Troy replied, quietly.

"You will. You're leaving tomorrow." Gabriella said.

Troy sighed. "We'll see eachother often, Gabs."

Troy then took Gabriella's hand and watched her fall asleep. When Gabriella was definately asleep, he kissed her forehead and smiled. Ms. Montez walked away from Gabriella's bedroom door and sighed.

"I have to tell her." She said to herself as she walked down the stairs.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Troy walked into the living room, where everyone was chatting away.

"Hey, Troy. Hows Gabs?" Taylor asked.

"She..she's fine. She's sleeping."

"Oh, okay." Taylor replied.

Troy sighed and sat on the sofa, next to Chad. Chad could tell something was up.

Chad then walked into the kitchen, nudging Troy before he stood up, telling him to follow. Troy followed, and Chad shut the door.

"Yo man. What's up?"

Troy sighed, but answered. "Gabs."

"Oh." Chad frowned. His friend was hurting way too much.

"She doesn't want me to leave. Chad what am I meant to do? I don't wanna go."

"Troy I..I don't know." Chad replied, patting Troy on the shoulder. And that was true - he really didn't know.

A/N: So that's the chapter. Almost finished now! I might update again tomorrow.
