Hey everybody. Here's chapter 2 of this story, hope you like it!

Chapter 2:

How?

"Dad, how did she get into the accident?" Sam asked with tears in her eyes.

"She was at a red light, and a drunk driver ran the red light on the opposite side of the road, hitting her head on, and killing her instantly."

With that said, both children started to cry, while hugging their father. Zoey and Tyler wondering what was taking their daddy so long, walked into the kitchen to find their big brother and sister and dad crying.

"Daddy, what's wong? Why are you cwying?" little Zoey asked.

"Zoe, Ty, come here." They followed their fathers instruction and ran over to where he was now sitting in a chair. He pulled them onto his lap and hugged them both. Sam and Zac were trying not to cry, for they wanted to be strong for their little siblings, but it wasn't working.

"Tyler, Zoey, mommy died in a car accident." The two of them didn't ask how, they just started to cry as well.

About half an hour later, Troy had calmed himself and his children, and they had dinner. Although Troy could cook, he decided to order pizza, he just wasn't in the mood to.

Once they finished eating, Sam and Zac took Tyler and Zoey upstairs to watch a movie while Troy called their friends to tell them the horrible news. Each of them said the same thing, "If you need anything tonight, don't hesitate to call us, we'll be over tomorrow afternoon, be strong." He was thankful he had such great friends.

Now, he called his parents. After three rings, he heard a male voice answer.

"Hi Dad."

"Hey Troy, are you okay? What's wrong?" his father asked. He knew something was wrong by the tone of his voice.

"Dad, Gabi was killed in a car accident. She was at a red light, when a drunk driver hit her head on, killing her instantly," he told his dad, trying to hold back his tears.

Jack was stunned. He couldn't believe what his son just told him.

"Oh my God, Troy. I am sooo sorry. Your mom and I will be right over."

"Wait, dad. Don't come tonight please, I want some time with my kids. You can come tomorrow afternoon with the rest of the gang and Karen."

"Alright Troy. Be strong son, and it is ok to cry. I love you and I'll see you tomorrow."

"Thanks dad. I love you too, bye."

And with that they hung up the phone. Troy walked upstairs to find that Zoey and Tyler had fallen asleep while watching the movie, and Sam and Zac were now putting them into bed.

"Why don't you two get some sleep? I'll finish putting them into bed," Troy told them.

"Ok dad," Zac replied with a yawn. The two hugged their father good-night, said their 'I love you' and went to bed.

Troy walked back downstairs and into the living room and logged onto Instant Messenger.

When he looked at his buddy list, he noticed that the normal people were on, but when he looked under family, he saw that Gabi was on.

'How can she be on? Maybe she was logged on from her school laptop.' He thought. He went over to where she left her laptop on the coffee table and looked at the screen. 'That's weird, she's not signed on.' Then something strange happened.

SciGabiB: Hey Troy.

BballTroy14: Who are you?

SciGabiB: It's Gabi, duhh.

BballTroy14: Yeah right, it can't be, she died.

SciGabiB: No really Troy, it's me.

BballTroy14: That's impossible, prove it.

SciGabiB: Ok, we first met at the ski lodge in Colorado. We were forced to sing karaoke together. We sang "Start of Something New."

BballTroy14: Everyone knows that.

SciGabiB: I wasn't finish.

BballTroy14: Oh

SciGabiB: You were wearing jeans, a white shirt with blue strips, and a brown jacket. I was wearing a blue long-sleeved shirt with black pants. I was sitting with my head in a book, while you were just standing there when we were picked. We both fought not to go, but when we did, the guy said "Someday, someday you might thank me for this…or not."

Troy couldn't believe it. Nobody knew abut that except for the two of them. His only question now was, how?

BballTroy14: Gabi, is it really you?

SciGabiB: Yeah Troy, it's really me.

BballTroy14: But how? You're dead.

SciGabiB: It's heaven Troy, there are computers with instant messenger.

BballTroy14: Really, have you talked to the others?

BballTroy14: like Tay, Chad, Jason, Kelsi, Shar, Zeke, Ryan, or Lauren?

SciGabiB: No, even though there's computers, there's one rule.

BballTroy14: Oh, what's that Gab?

SciGabiB: We're only allowed to talk to one person, and I wanted to wait for you, because you mean everything to me Troy.

When Troy read that, he began to get tears in his eyes again. He couldn't believe that he was talking to his dead wife, but he was loving every second of it.

BballTroy14: You mean the world to me too Gabi. I miss you soo much.

SciGabiB: I miss you too Troy, and Sam, Zac, Tyler, and Zoey.

BballTroy14: They miss you so much. When I told them, they couldn't believe it. After dinner, I went up to our bedroom, I saw the light on in your closet and I found Sam sitting in there.

SciGabiB: Troy, do me favor, please leave everything of mine the way I left it, and keep everything, so you'll remember me. I know she was in there, I was watching, and I'm watching you right now.

BballTroy14: I promise to leave everything, and that we'll never forget you.

SciGabiB: Thank you, I love you so much.

BballTroy14: I love you too, more than words can describe.

BballTroy14: Gabi, how am I going to do this by myself? Take care of our children; teach gym at the High School, coach the team, and everything else? I can't do this without you. I need you, we all need you.

At this point of the conversation, Gabi had tears in her eyes. She wanted to be physically with him, not just mentally. Instead of seeing him from a far, she wanted to stare into his clear blue eyes and kiss his sugar tasting lips. As much as she liked heaven, she wanted to be with her friends and family.

SciGabiB: You'll get through it, I know you will. You're strong and can do anything. Everyone's there and will help you with anything.

BballTroy14: I know, but it's not the same. All I want, and need is you.

SciGabiB: Our friends and family will be there for you no matter what. You will conquer it all.

SciGabiB: You should get some sleep, you're tired. I'll talk to you tomorrow Troy. I love you. Oh, one other thing, you can't tell anyone you talked to me, yet.

BballTroy14: Ok. Good-night. Talk to you tomorrow. I love you baby.

And with that he signed off and went up to bed.

Before he went to his room, he checked the kids. When he opened Sam's door, the light of the moon was shinning on her face. He looked at her and smiled. 'She looks so much like her mother. Brown curly hair, my blue eyes, her mother's ears and nose, and my smile. It's amazing.' He thought. As he closed the door he was still smiling.

After he brushed his teeth and did all that, he got into bed. He looked over at the empty space beside him and reached over to the pillow. He picked it up and it smelled just like Gabriella. A mix of her strawberry shampoo and vanilla body wash. He loved the smell and it reminded him so much of his wife.

'I'm never going to wash these pillow cases,' he thought.

Before turning off the light, he looked up at the sky smiling and said,

"I love you and miss you so much Gabriella Bolton, be safe."

Up in heaven, Gabriella smiled to herself as she watched her husband smell her pillow case. He was glad she could watch over he loved ones, and still be able to watch her children grow. Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard Troy say,

"I love you and miss you so much Gabriella Bolton, be safe."

She smiled and whispered back,

"I love you too, Troy Bolton."

The window was open in their bedroom, and he could have sworn that he heard Gabi's voice. He just smiled and drifted off to sleep, dreaming of the day when he and his wife would be together once again.
