"So, Miss.Montez, you may go home today, remember to take your medicines regularly." the doctor finished saying.

"Ok thank you." Gabriella said relieved to be able to leave.

"I'll be right back Ella. I'm gonna go sign the release forms." Troy said but before leaving kissing Gabriella's forehead.

He kissed me again, but why. And how come I haven't seen Melina? I'm confused, I'm gonna have to ask him. Gabriella thought. Before she could finish with her thought, Troy came in holding her bag filled with her clothes. "Hey, you ready?" Troy asked

"Yeah." all ready

They went outside where Troy's car was parked. As they started out of the parking lot, Gabriella asked Troy what was on her mind since the first day he had kissed her.

"Um, Troy,"

"Hmmm?"

"Promise you won't get mad at me for asking this?" Gabriella asked nervously.

"Of course, I can never get mad at you Ella." Troy said a little worried.

"Troy... what happened to Melina?" Gabriella asked quietly.

Troy winced at that name. "I'll tell you when we get home." he answered with pain in his voice.

"ok" Gabriella said and turned back to the window staring out thinking... what happened? Why won't he tell me?

"Gabs we're here."

Why was he calling her Gabs? His special name for her was Ella, something was definitely wrong.

Gabriella got out of the car and made her way to the door. She opened it and let Troy inside as she followed.

"Troy, please tell me what happened." Gabriella pleaded as they sat down. "Please." She said quietly on the verge of tears.

Troy sighed, but told her.

"Ella... Melina set you up, you remember when you were at Melina's house before Ricky came...?" Gabi nodded. "... Well turns out Melina knows Ricky and well..." Troy never finished but Gabriella knew what he meant.Tears started forming in her eyes and they went doen her still bruised cheeks. She leaned against Troy. "Why, Troy? What have I done to her?" Gabriella sobbed. Troy let her cry on her. He whipped away he tears. "Don't worry, I broke up with her, there's nothing to worry about."

But Gabriella knew that wasn't true, remembering when Ricky came to the hospital with Melina and they threatened her.

"Ella.." Troy said softly.

Gabriella looked up looking into Troy's ocean blue eyes filled with sorrow like hers.

"... will you be my girlfriend?" Troy asked hopefully, now his blue eyes filled with hope.

Gabriella was surprised but nodded. Tears of happiness in her eyes. "What, h-how Troy?" Gabriella asked with a sparkle of happiness in her eyes, something Troy hadn't seen since BEFORE he got a girlfriend aka a bitch. "I got a girlfriend before, because I thought you only liked me as a brother so I was afraid of rejection but a really good friend, explained it to me, and I found out I was wrong, I learned something, I won't know till I try, Even if it meant, akwardness, and rejection I missed something very important in my life." Troy answered. And then he put put on a funny grin.

Gabriella laughed through her tears. Both of them leaned in and what seemed like centuries they finally kissed. Both of them enjoying it and not wanting it to end. Finally they pulled back for air, and fell asleep in each other's arms.

Yup, you're gonna think this is happily ever after, but in this story, there are more tragedies yet more romance, though when this story is over, it WILL be a happily ever after, but not yet ;)
