The next morning came. Gabriella was still filled with confusion. As she walked to her locker, she couldn't help but notice that everyone was staring at her. She felt that she had done something wrong. Then she saw Troy. All her worries were gone and her heart felt much lighter. She approached Troy but he looked upset. So she asked, "Troy, what's the matter?" Troy simply ignored her and left. Her heart was shattered. Tears ran down her cheeks. She couldn't breath easily. Her heart pumped faster and faster and she finally fainted.
"NO!", Gabriella woke-up. She was surprised to see herself on her bed. "What's the matter sweetie?", her mother gently said to her as she caressed her. Gabriella sighed, "It was all a dream!" Her mother knew immediately that her daughter had a nightmare. It was still the middle of the night. Gabriella was afraid of what might happen the next day so she asked her mom, "Mom, do you think me and Troy would stay together forever?" Her mom smiled and replied, "If you truly love him... then YES, you would stay together. I can see that you really love him and there's no doubt that he loves you, too. So no matter how much you are separated he would still be close to you, Troy will always stay in your heart." Gabriella was relieved. Her mother then sang a lulluby she sang to her daughter when she was still young...
My Dear, my love
I am here;
even though,
you feel fear;
I'll be there,
anywhere;
to comfort you,
when you're scared
I'll love you truly my dear, my love 'till the end of my time...
Gabriella fell asleep. Her mother tucked her in and kissed her goodnight. Meanwhile, Troy Bolton could not sleep because of the thought of Gabriella leaving him. "What could I have done to make Gabriella leave me?", he thought, "I have to shake this off!" He dressed into his basketball atire and went outside. He started to play some net. As he was playing, he reminisced their sophomore years.
/FLASHBACK/
Troy and Gabriella have just finished their rehearsal for the play we all know and love. They sat down together on their secret hideout and started to talk. "Troy, do you think we would stay together forever?", Gabriella asked. Troy replied, "Of course! Because I really Love you Gabriella!" "I really love you too, Troy", she replied, "But what if something comes between us? What will happen then?" Troy paused for a while and finally said, "I know things might hinder us from being together but no matter what... You will always stay in my heart." Gabriella blushed and smiled. She started to cry because of joy. She was touched. Troy hugged her and kept her company.
/END OF FLASHBACK/
Troy started to realize something... No matter what... Gabriella would always love him. He sighed in relief. His father then came outside. His father didn't actually know what was happening so he asked his son, "Are you ok? It's the middle of the night and you're playing basketball? I know I said practice but not like this. Come on. Let's go insside." Troy wanted to ask his father about his problem but he felt that his father wouldn't understand. He went inside and changed into his sleeping clothes again and lied on his bed. He slept and finally was rested.
