A/N: Hey I'm back! I hope you all enjoyed the last chapter. I felt really bad writing Troy's part earlier, but he is in kind of a hopeless situation. But, I promise you, this well end a happy ending. Well, here's chapter 6!

Gabi ran as far as she could away from the gym. How could Troy still believe her over me AND Chad? Was he really that stupid? Gabi finally let the tears from her eyes fall freely down her cheeks. She finally stopped, and flopped down in the middle of the street, not really caring where she was or what she was doing. The tears kept falling down, and every time she would wipe them away, they were just replaced by new ones.

"Gabi! Wait!" she heard Chad scream. She looked in the direction she heard his voice, and could faintly see him running towards her; since her vision was partially blinded by tears.

Chad finally reached her and scooped her up. "Gabi, I am so sorry. I don't know why Troy is acting like such a prick, but it's okay. We'll figure something out," he said trying to comfort her as he walked back to his car with Gabi in his arms.

"No it's not. What if he really loves her? What if I'm just an old girlfriend from the past? Maybe we lost touch for a reason, Chad. I just don't know…" Gabi mumbled as she held onto Chad.

"Gabi, don't ever think that. Troy still loves you, I know he does. Don't think that way," he said as they finally reached his car.

"Then why is he with her? Why does he stick up for her? I just don't get it. Can you take me home?" she asked meekly.

"Yeah, Gabs. I'll take you home," he replied softly as he helped her in the passenger side of his car.

"Thank you, you don't know how much this means to me," Gabi said as she curled up in the seat.

Chad gave a small smile, shut the door, and walked over to the other side of his Range Rover.

"Okay, where do you live?" he asked as he started the car.

"59 Cherry Avenue," Gabi whispered, closing her wet eyes.

"I know where that is. Do you want me to talk to your manager after I drop you off? Tell him that you got sick or something?" he asked.

Gabi nodded, and then drifted off to sleep. Many thoughts were going through Chad's mind. 'What the hell is wrong with Troy? He's acting as if he wants to actually be with Abigail…I'll straighten it out with him later..' he thought. Chad pulled over to the apartment building that Gabi said belonged to her earlier. He looked over and saw her peacefully sleeping. He sighed and got out of the car, went over to the other side and opened the door. He took off her seat belt and then picked her up out of the car. Closing the door with his leg, he went over to the door of the apartment and hit the button next to the name card that said "Gabriella Montez and Taylor McKessie."

"Hello?" Taylor's voice rang.

"Taylor, it's Chad. Open up, I have Gabi with me," he answered.

"No you don't. Gabi's at work. Besides if she were with you, she could get up here herself," she said not believing a word of it.

"Just trust me! She's here, I'm holding her, she fell asleep on the way back," he tried to explain.

"On the way back from what?" she asked.

Chad was losing his patience. "If you let me I'll explain!" he snapped.

"Okay! I'll let you in! God!" she said huffing.

The next thing Chad heard was the buzzing to let him enter the building. He went inside and into the elevator, and walked out onto the right floor. He kicked their door instead of knocking, which he couldn't because of Gabi.

Taylor opened the door and exclaimed, "What happened! Chad Danforth you better explain yourself!"

Chad rolled his eyes as he brushed past her and laid Gabi down on the couch. He turned around to face a very angry Taylor. He sighed, and then made his way into the kitchen. The kitchen was very clean, and had bright yellow walls and tiles. There was a round wood table, where he walked to sat down. He motioned to for Taylor to do that same and she did, but not without a very suspicious look. From then on, he explained everything, Abigail kissing another guy, telling Troy, his reaction and then taking Gabi home. Taylor sat there through the whole thing, but not with out adding in comments here and there.

"I can't believe Troy said that! What an asshole!" Taylor cried.

"It's probably not what it looks like; I have to talk to him later. Anyway, I have to go and talk to Gabi's manager, telling him that she got sick and that she won't be returning to work tonight. I'll talk to you later," he said as he got up and headed towards the door.

"Chad! Wait," Taylor proclaimed as he opened the door. He turned and looked at her.

"Thanks, for taking Gabi here and everything. She really appreciates it," Taylor said sincerely as she took a seat on the arm of the couch.

Chad smiled. "No problem," he replied. And with that, Chad left the building.

Taylor sighed, and turned her head to look at Gabi. She was still sleeping, and she could tell from where she was that she had tear stains on her face. Her mascara was running, her eye liner made it look like she had bags under her eyes and her hair was messy. Taylor was boiling over in anger at Troy at the moment. Taylor looked away, not paying attention but thinking about how mad she was.

Suddenly, she heard a grunt from Gabriella. She snapped her head at her, and saw that she was getting up and stretching.

"How did I get here?" she asked yawning.

"Chad brought you in," Taylor answered.

"Really? He did?" she asked surprised.

"Yeah. I have to say I was quite jealous," Taylor said smiling.

Gabi chuckled. "I'm guessing he told you what happened?" she asked, her face falling.

Taylor frowned. "Yeah. I'm so sorry Gabs," she apologized and hugged her best friend.

Gabi's eyes started to water up again as she hugged her friend back. "Thanks. I just don't know what to do. Maybe it's time I finally let him go," she sniffled.

Taylor pulled away and continued to frown at her friend. "Gabs, maybe you should sleep on it. Maybe it's just all a big misunderstanding."

"Tay, why would it be a misunderstanding? Apparently he loves her if he sticks up for her and doesn't trust me or Chad," she replied, heading into the kitchen.

Taylor had on a faint smile. "I got your favorite!" she yelled into the kitchen.

"Yeah, I see it! Thanks!" she came in the living room with a pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream, "You know me too well."

"Gabi, you do realize that's the second pint of ice cream you're eating within two days?" Tay asked as Gabi sat down. Gabi looked up at her.

"So?" she asked raising her eyebrows. She then threw off the cover and took a big spoonful of ice cream.

"So, you need to calm down," Taylor answered sitting next to her friend.

"Calm down? Hello! The guy I happen to be in love with is dating a complete bitch who doesn't even deserve him! Who would cheat on Troy? Honestly, she doesn't see him how I do!" she exclaimed shoving more ice cream in her mouth.

"So then win him back," Taylor said knowingly.

"Win him back?" she asked in horror, but then continued, "Tay, she's like a mini Paris Hilton! How do I compete with that! Besides, I'm a little annoyed at Troy at the moment!" she cried incredulously.

Taylor chuckled. "Look, I know you may be mad at him right now, but don't walk away from it when you don't know both sides. Every story has two sides."

Gabi looked up at Taylor, tears stinging her eyes. "My mom used to say that," she said softly.

"Oh, Gabi, I didn't mean it that way," Taylor said embracing her friend in another hug. Gabriella's mother had died a year before, from breast cancer. She never talked about it much; it was a topic she usually kept to herself.

"It's all right, I know you didn't," Gabi replied.

Taylor sighed and got up. "Where are you going?" Gabi asked, her voice unstable.

"Don't worry about that. I figure you're going to eat through that whole thing, so I might as well get another one. Besides, I'm craving it too, and I know you won't share," Taylor answered with a grin on her face. She grabbed her jacket and left the apartment.

"Dude, you are such an ass!" Chad yelled at his friend as he saw him enter their hotel room.

Troy looked up and saw Chad standing there, with a pillow in his hand.

"I know," was his answer as he flopped stomach first on his bed.

"What the hell was that earlier? You know you may have broken her heart? Do you know how quiet and shattered she was on the way home?" Chad shouted.

Troy shot up. "She's that bad?" he asked.

Chad's eyebrows shot up. "You have to be kidding. Of course she was you moron!"

"I'm sorry! Coach Williams was standing right behind you guys! And I couldn't –" Troy was interrupted by a knock on the door. Chad glared at Troy and went to go see who it was. When he looked through the peep hole, he saw Taylor. Chad smiled and opened the door.

"Why Taylor! What a pleasant surprise!" Chad exclaimed cheerfully, knowing fully that she was here to tell Troy off.

Taylor brushed past him and rolled her eyes. "You! How dare you!" she shouted when she found Troy.

"How could you? You know because of you, that Gabi is at home hopeless and eating a tub of Ben and Jerry's ice cream?" she continued.

Troy fell back onto his bed and groaned. "Look! My coach was right behind you guys when you told me that she cheated on me. I couldn't act all cheery! My ass would be burnt to a crisp if I didn't say what I did!" he shouted back.

"And your ass isn't grilled now! Troy! I don't know what you said, but whatever you did, it made her very upset. Which equals a very angry Taylor. You better have a damn good explanation!" she screeched.

"I already told you! Abigail is the coach's daughter! If I break up with her, then I ruin all my chances at basketball in the future! I couldn't act happy when Chad and Gabi brought me the news, other wise I would be off the team! I didn't want to say those things to Gabi! I really didn't! The timing was just off," Troy finished, flushed.

Taylor sighed. "Troy, do you love Abigail?" she finally asked.

Troy looked at her. "No." he answered truthfully.

"Do you love Gabriella?" she asked with hope in her eyes.

"More than anything else in this world. I never stopped loving her," he replied, looking at the floor.

"Would you do anything for her?" she inquired.

"Anything," he responded.

Taylor looked him in the eye and said, "Then do the right thing." And with that, she left the hotel room, leaving a sorrowful Troy and a very confused Chad.

A/N: All right, what did you think? I promise there's drama in the next chapter, I swear. I have also decided that there's two chapters after this one, leaving the story with eight chapters. I promise the ending will be good, sweet and fluffy, so don't give up yet! Please review! Thanks!
