Bold is Gabi's thoughts
Recap!
She went home and stared at her wall, at her collage. She was staring at it for ages when an idea hit her. She made a plan and would start with it tomorrow.
Chapter 14!
She had a restless night sleep but couldn't wait to get started on her plan. She called Chad and told him her plan just to make sure some of the surprises weren't too over the top for him to handle.
"Sounds awesome, I really hope it helps, although I don't think it will and I think you should just let the fact go that he doesn't remember I do hope it triggers something." Chad told her.
"Well I'm praying it works so I will see you later, I'll call you if I need some help, bye Chad." And she hung up. She got ready until it was 11 and then she had to go otherwise she would be late. When she arrived at his house she could see Chad watching her from outside his window. She rung the doorbell and waited for Troy to answer.
"Hey Gabriella!" he hadn't started calling her Gabi because he barely knew her.
"Hey Troy, um… I was wondering if you would like to spend the day with me. I know you don't really know me but I have some things that I hope might help you remember but don't try too hard because if you don't its okay. Don't worry about a thing. So do you want to go?"
"Yeah sure sounds like fun let me just go finish getting ready." He put on a jacket and shoes and ran his fingers through his hair. 'Ready' he thought to himself.
"Ready to go." Troy said rushing down the stairs.
"Awesome let's get going" Gabi told him. She got in her car and drove to the movie theater where they had their first date. She told him all about the laughs and the movie and everything. He couldn't remember.
So then she took him to the restaurant where they had the second and last date. She showed him the table they sat at, how it was a double date with Chad and Taylor and in the bathroom when she found out about his dad, but she didn't tell him about her brother she didn't want to bring that into this, and what they ate, what they did, all she could remember. He thought he remembered a little but couldn't quite place it.
Then she took him to the park where they had their first kiss. They played on the slides and swing sets. She showed him the tree they laid under and how they looked up at the stars. Nothing he couldn't remember it at all.
Then she took him to East High. She showed him her locker and how he went there every morning with her and they talked. She showed him the basketball court and how they had played around in there a couple of times. She showed him the hallway where they ended their last day of their junior year together how no one was around just like then. Then she showed him the secret garden. She talked about how they would sit there and talk and look out at the view and enjoy each other's company, just happy to be together. Then one of her last hopes she took him to the theater. Kelsi was already there waiting. She showed how they stood up there and sang and did Twinkle Towne and other musicals. She then had Kelsi start playing Breaking Free. She started singing and mid way in the song he hummed along. At the end he could sing the last line.
"I remember the tune and some of the words; I can't remember the play or anything else though. I'm so sorry."
"Troy its okay, I want you to remember but if you can't you can't and there is no way you can make yourself remember."
"I want to remember too. I hate this; I want to remember all these times you've explained to me. They seemed like a lot of fun, and I want to remember all this we had together, but I just can't."
"Troy, its okay. Don't worry."
By then it was getting dark. "One more stop," Gabriella said. Troy simply nodded. She drove to her house and showed him the doorway where he finally asked her out. She took him out to the balcony.
"I could so climb up here using that tree." Troy said.
Gabriella laughed, "You did. Our friends played a trick on us and it got us mad at each other and you climbed up here and sang to me for me to forgive you. It was adorable. I loved it. It was the most amazing thing someone had every done for me."
Then she showed him her 'Friends' collage. This was her last hope. While he looked at all the pictures she went over to her c.d. player and put in the c.d. she made of all the songs they had sung together. She put on 'Start of Something New'. He looked over all the pictures and laughed at some like he knew what was going on in them. He tried really hard to remember then he broke down and started to cry.
"Troy! Oh Troy, it's okay, I'm so sorry this was probably too much for today. I'm sorry. You don't have to remember. I'll be fine; don't do this because of me."
"No Gabi,"
He called me Gabi.
"I'm not crying because it was too much but because I finally remember." He said with a broad smile. Gabi was speechless. She started to cry too. She was so happy he finally remembered her. He knew her. Words couldn't begin to explain the rush of joy she was feeling. They started singing along to 'Start of Something New'. When they finished, they started to kiss passionately and ended up making out for about a half hour. Then they walked to Chad's house and he told him the good news while Gabi gave him a face saying 'and this is why I didn't give up like you did'. When they reached Troy's house, Gabi said goodbye and gave him a good night kiss and walked back home.
