The car ride to Troy's hotel room was awkward. There was no talking. It was just quiet. When they finally arrived Troy went around to help Gabriella out of the car but she opened the door herself. It was obvious she was upset. They walked up to his room and he opened the door. The hotel room was like nothing Gabriella had ever seen before. She wandered around examining everything. Troy looked at her. This was all new to her. It was as if watching a chilled in a candy shop for the first time.
"Well…believe it or not this room has a guest room…" Gabriella was still shocked at how big the room was, but sad at the same time.
"Ok…what time is it? It…." She started crying again. She started thinking about Jacob and her UN born child.
Troy didn't know what to say. He was scared for Gabriella. "11:00" (PM)
"Umm…I'm gonna go to bed…."
"Nothing to eat?"
"No thanks."
Gabriella walked into the room and lay on the bed. She wanted to be with Troy. She loved Eric as a friend, a family member. Not a Husband. At 3am she made a quick decision to leave. She got up and snuck out the door. She walked four blocks until she arrived to her house. She walked in and everything was quiet. There were no lights on. She shut the door.
"Gabriella?" She jumped and turned to look in the living room. She saw Eric sitting cradling Jacob. He put Jacob down and walked over to her.
"Eric. I'm so sorry. It was like…a farewell kiss. Nothing more. I went with him, because I thought you needed space."
"Gabriella, I know you're expecting me to throw a fit, throw all the furniture and get drunk. I won't. I never will."
"I know. It's just…well you were too quick to judge."
"I saw my wife kissing a different man. What do you mean I was too quick to judge?"
Gabriella smiled and hugged him. He moved his hand to her stomach. "2 months"
"2 months." She responded robotically.
Troy's Hotel room
Troy woke up at 3:30. There was a thunderstorm. He smiled knowing Gabriella hated thunderstorms. 'Maybe she'll finally come to her sences that she loves me.' He got out of his bed and wandered into the guest room. There was no one there. He immediately figured that she went back to Eric. Troy was depressed and went to call Chad's room.
"Gah. Hello?" Chad was not a morning person
"Dude, I got dumped."
"Gabriella went back to that Eric kid?"
"Kid?"
"Yea well you're much more manly than that napoleon dynamite."
"What do I do? We leave tomorrow. I want to see her once more just once."
"I'll call Taylor at noon. We will figure something out. Until then can I please go back to bed?"
"Yeah. See ya at 8 morning workout."
"Ugh."
They hung up the phones and went back to sleep. Troy dreamed of him and Gabriella getting married. The same dream she had.
At Gabriella's & Eric's home
Gabriella put Jacob to bed and walked down and sat with Eric on the couch.
"Gabriella…?"
"Yea?"
"The thing with you and Troy…."
"Eric…"
"No don't interrupt. Let me finish. You have a past. We all do….you, still….love troy. More than me. I know you do. The thing is though. I married you for the same reason you married me. You were mad at a high school love. They didn't call, write, then out of nowhere they show up. You then recover your feelings for them. Well I had a college love. I haven't talked to her since Collage, but I saw her at the restaurant last night. Gabriella I love her…."
"Who is she?" Gabriella was somewhat relieved Eric understood her past with troy."
"Her name was…Sharpay Evans."
