"I still don't see why I have to be blind folded Gabi. This is crazy. I mean, it's night time. What's the point-" Troy was interrupted from his complaining by Gabriella's voice.
"Some trust please Troy. You did say..."
"I know, I know. Gabriella, where are we going? We've been walking for aaaages."
"Oh..is my big, strong Wildcat tired?" Gabi laughed, "C'mon Troy, we're there now."
"Thank God!" Troy ripped off his blindfold, and before he looked around he swiftly grabbed Gabriella around the waist and held her against him for a moment.
Gabi kissed Troy's cheek but would not be distracted. "You haven't even looked around yet have you?"
Troy turned her around so she was facing him. " I was too busy looking at a better view." His eyes were full of love and appreciation, directed only at her. She rolled her eyes and Troy glanced around to view his surroundings.
He whistled in amazement and Gabriella smiled. "Remember when you showed me your roof-top jungle, at school? Yeah well, this is my secret place. I come here a lot. To think or write or swim, and even sometimes to cry over things that need to be let go."
The pair looked over at the lush plants and flowers that surrounded them and were awed. But nothing compared to the giant Weeping Willow, who's extended branches just skimmed the surface of the beautiful lake, that seemed to stretch on for miles.
"Wow Gabriella, just wow...It'd take someone like you to find this place wouldn't it. Brilliant."
"Yeah... I first found it when I was running from it all, from my life. It was after my dad died."
"But I thought you mom came here from work?"
"She couldn't stay in the area anymore. It was killing her, so yes, she asked to move in her job."
"Oh."
Gabriella took Troys hand and lead him over to the Willow tree where they both sat down. Neither of them knew what to say so they just closed their eyes feeling the heat of each other warm them.
Gabi fiddled with a piece of Troys hair.
"So hows your mom Troy? Is she- um doing any better?"
Troy's stared up at her from his current resting place, her lap. His eyes were suddenly far away. Gabriella wished that she could go to the place he went at those times…to comfort him there. But there was nothing she could do.
Troy's eyes closed and he sighed, noting Gabi's distress over him. "Well the cancer is eating up her lungs and it's already so far along that chemotherapy wont help much. They said to just let her relax-" he paused as his voice broke "For the few months she has left." He sat up abruptly, "Damn it! I want to forget! Not remember!"
"Troy.." Gabriella reached out and took his hand, preventing him from standing up. Her fingers brushed against the bandage where underneath, lay a mark of her boyfriend's pain. "Here, let me see if your hand has stopped bleeding. It looked pretty bad before."
Troy groaned. "Fine Gabriella, what ever you say." He turned away as she began unwrapping the bandage. He heard Gabriella gasp and he whipped his head around to face her once again. "Whats wrong?" She just stared at his hand. "Whoa..." he said, looking down.
Gabi didn't know what to think. Logically, this wasn't possible. She must be hallucinating, but with the look on Troy's face she knew she wasn't.
Troy Bolton's hand, was healed.
"Oh my Gosh." she whispered.
He was stunned. "H-how is that possible? We both saw-" Troy stopped talking as Gabriella ran her finger over the faint white scar. He shuddered.
"Oh- sorry." Gabi's voice was shaky.
"No Gabriella, it wasn't you. I just have the feeling theres something going on here. Something weird."
Then, before either one of them could think on the topic further, Troy's cellphone rang, and when Troy answered Gabi heard Chad's pissed off voice on the other line.
#Dude, where are you! You were supposed to stop at my house before the After-party tonight!#
"THE AFTER PARTY!" Troy had totally forgotten about it with all of the other things on his mind.
#Yes TROY...the after party. Nice of you to remember. Now you better be there. I'll get a ride with my older sister...but you OWE me one man.#
"Yeah I know. Thanks Chad. Bye."
Troy took Gabriella's hand and dragged them both back to her car,(which was parked back where they had started to walk.) where he took the keys and drove to his house. When they got there, they both jumped out and Gabi followed Troy into his house.
"Hey Gabriella, you don't have to stay if you want to be on time." Troy secretly wished she would, but he knew how some girls were about being early.
"No, its okay, I'll stay. I'm already dressed for the party." She said, looking down at her tiny strapped red dress and stilettos. "And I'd much rather walk in with you late, than leave now and be early."
Troy grinned and held up two fingers. "Alright. I'll be back in 2 minutes."
10 minutes later Troy came down in a dark blue dress-shirt and dark jeans. His hair was still somewhat wet from his quick shower but look windswept in a sexy way. He walked up behind Gabi and grabbed her around the middle, holding her up against him. He heard her gasp, as he softly bit her neck and growled. "Damn Gabriella, how is it possible...you look so...perfect, without any effort?"
She laughed. "Two points Troy. First, I do not look perfect. Second, If you give me a hickey bofore the party I will KILL you. You got that mister?"
Troy put his lips back on Gabi's neck for a second and then ran to his car yelling."Ok sexy come and kill me! I love you too Gabriella! YUP THATS RIGHT! All my neighbors know about you now! HaHA!" He jumped in the drivers seat of his car and started the ignition as Gabriella flung open her door.
With a look that was a mixture of, I'm going to kill you and I want to make out with you, she crawled over to Troy and sat down on his lap. "Ok Wildcat, this is your punishment. I am not letting you drive this car. I'll just sit right here on you until you give in."
Troy smirked. "Hmmm... I have an idea." He paused and pulled her so that she was sitting between his legs on the drivers seat. "Ah, yes this is better. And now I will drive us to the party. With you sitting right where you are. Try and stop me now science-girl!"
"Ah! Troy...what if you get caught driving like this?"
"What like this?" He shifted his hips around and she smacked him upside the head."
"Troy Bolton...you are so dirty."
"I know. And now Madam, if you wouldn't mind, I'd like to get us to the after party, considering I'm the guest of honor."
He hit the gas and they sped off to the party.
When Troy pulled up to the building, all of his friends came out to greet him. Many 'Dude Where've ya been's' were yelled around, and his team went back inside.
As the pair were getting out of the car Gabi noticed something.
"Oh my gosh, Troy LISTEN! Its-"
"It's the start of something new,it feels so right-" Troy started singing."
They walked in singing together.
"And now, looking in your eyes, I feel in my heaaaart, the start of something new."
Troy took his solo as he entered the arena. "Now who'd of ever thought that we'd both be here tonight..mm"
"Yeah, And the WORLD looks so much brighter with you by my side."
They were handed mic's and walked up to the small platform, now singing for everyone.
I
know that something has changed
Never felt this way
I know
it for real
This could be the start
Of something new
It
feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your
eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new
Troy
let his eyes show Gabriella that he meant every word he sang.
I
never knew that it could happen
Till it happened to me
I
didn't know it before
But now it's easy to see
Gabriella and Troy saw no
one else but themselves as the lost themselves in the meaning of
their song.
It's
a start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here
with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
Gabriella
didn't back up this time, so Troy walked closer until they were
touching.
That
it's the start
Of something new
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
the start of something new...
His lips touched hers as the final notes to their song echoed throughout the building.
