Chapter 23 – Troy's Talk With Mr Montez

MR and Mrs Bolton returned home early that next morning, Mrs Bolton was eager to wake her son and ask how his dinner date with Gabriella went; she rushed upstairs and opened the door of Troy's bedroom.

"Troy…Oh my god!" She screamed, curled up together naked under the blankets were Gabriella and Troy.

She was stunned for a moment, horror thrashed through her mind, her little boy sleeping with a girl! It just didn't feel right! Her senses however came back to her when Jack came running up the stairs in a frenzy thinking something was wrong.

"Sarah what's...holy shit!" He said and closed his eyes quickly.

Mrs Bolton came to her senses immediately.

"TROY BOLTON! WAKE UP THIS INSTANT!" She bellowed and Troy and Gabriella jerked awake.

"Oh my…um…this…this…is embarrassing." Gabriella stammered looking across at Troy and wrapping the blankets around herself and getting out of bed.

"WHAT ARE YOU TWO THINKING? SLEEPING TOGETHER! IT'S UNTHINKABLE!" Jack screamed he walked out of the room; he couldn't be in there anymore.

"Look Mom, we can explain, it's just –"

"I don't want any details please Troy! Get changed and march straight downstairs the two of you!" She ordered and she slammed the door behind her and left Troy smirking to himself.

Gabriella, had her back to him as she pulled her dress back on, Troy wrapped his arms around her waist but she pulled herself away from him, looking uneasy.

"I don't think so…not under the situation we're in." Gabriella stammered.

"They can't have a go at us! We're both of legal age." Troy laughed as he pulled his trousers on.

"Don't laugh Troy, it's not funny. We've been caught, in your parent's eyes, doing a sinful act!"

Troy shook his head, how could Gabriella be so upset, they weren't committing a sinful act! There was nothing wrong with what they had been doing.

"YOU TWO HURRY UP!" Jack ordered.

The pair looked at each other guiltily and Troy offered her his hand and she took it smiling, frightened.

"I won't let them have a go at you! I promise." He said and they walked downstairs ready to face their parents.

JACK and Sarah sat down on the sofa as Troy and Gabriella sat on the sofa opposite. The parents noted the teenagers entwined fingers and glanced at each other wearily.

"How long has this been going on for?" Jack demanded.

Gabriella looked at her feet though Troy did not crumble under his father's fixed stare and firm voice.

"ANSWER ME!"

"It's none of your business." Troy said calmly.

"Pardon?" Jack asked, his eyes widened, he couldn't believe what he had heard.

"I said old man; it's not of your damned business! Didn't you hear me the first time?" Troy spat but he came back to the world by Gabriella gently squeezing his hand.

"Troy, your father's just concerned about you. Both of you." Mrs Bolton exclaimed.

"Well don't be, what happens between Gabriella and I is private! Do you see me poking and nosing in at your sex life?" Troy asked nastily.

Mr and Mrs Bolton went red and looked across at each other bashfully, never had they seen Troy so riled up.

"Gabriella, we're sorry but we're going to have to tell your parents about this! They'll need to keep an eye on you!" Mrs Bolton said.

"Mom please, don't do that to her. Please, they trust her and they'll never let us see each other!" Troy pleaded.

"I'm sorry Troy but how can we trust either of you? You can't be left alone in a house again." Mrs Bolton answered.

"Oh screw this! It's pathetic; we're both of legal age! We're not doing anything illegal!" Troy protested.

"Yes but you've both got bright futures ahead of you, we don't want to see an unwanted pregnancy mess that up." Jack said.

"It wouldn't, we've been taking precautions! We know what's what!" Gabriella said timidly, it had been the first time she had spoken and her voice shook nervously.

Mrs Bolton smiled pitifully on Gabriella, "Oh Gabriella sweetheart, we know you're both very responsible but –"

"YOU'RE JUST TEENAGERS! YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU WHAT!" Jack shouted.

"Jack this isn't helping!" Mrs Bolton screamed.

"Of course it is! This is the pep talk they need." Jack screamed back.

"I'd better go and phone your parents Gabriella." Mrs Bolton said and she went into the kitchen with the phone.

"What even possessed you to sleep…with her?" It wasn't that Mr Bolton didn't like Gabriella, she was sweet but he thought his son could do better!

Troy saw red and was about to punch his father when Gabriella shoved her body in front of both men.

"Move out of the way Brie." Troy said.

"It's getting out of…hand." Gabriella told Troy.

"I SAID MOVE YOU STUPID COW!" He screamed and he pushed Gabriella aside, Gabriella tumbled to the floor with the impact of Troy's hard push.

Both men saw the fear in her eyes, Troy bent down to pick her up but she pushed herself back out of his grasp.

"I'm so sorry, I just saw red, I don't even know what came over me…look…its okay…we're…going to be okay because…I apologised and…we love each other right?" He stuttered but Gabriella was already making her way to the door.

She opened the door but Troy put his arm in front of her, she looked up at him with her cold brown eyes.

"Baby Brie, please, you know I didn't mean it. You just got in the way!" Troy begged, he was literally on his knees before her.

"Hmm."

"No! Don't leave!" He cried but Gabriella was leaving, the door slammed in his face and his heart sunk into his chest, once again, his life was being wrecked! His Gabriella's heart was broken again and so was his!

Troy walked back into the living room to find his Mother and father looking at him piteously.

"I know you didn't mean that son but…it doesn't look like its going to be easy!" Mrs Bolton whispered.

"She hates me!" He muttered allowing a tear to drip down his cheek.

"Well, you've got to go over and see the Montez's. Mr Montez wants to talk to you about something very serious." Mrs Bolton said.

Troy nodded and grabbed his car keys and left the house in a hurry, hopefully he'd see Gabriella too and apologise.

"What did Montez want to talk to Troy about?" Mr Bolton questioned.

Mrs Bolton placed her arms around her husband's waist and smiled, "Something very serious, very, very serious!" She answered.

THE door opened before Troy could even knock it. Standing in front of him was Mrs Montez. She gave him a grave smile and invited him in.

Troy was shown into Mr Montez's study room. He sat down opposite Gabriella's father; the look of significance on his face was eminent that this would be no easy talk.

"Troy Bolton." Mr Montez said.

"Mr Montez." Troy nodded his head acknowledging him.

"Now I understand Troy that my daughter and yourself have been doing…certain…things…that are meant to be in wedlock. Am I correct?" He asked, he stood and circled the room.

"Yes sir, you are correct." Troy answered.

"We are a respected Spanish family and we have certain family rules Troy Bolton that I expect you to follow with my daughter." Mr Montez said, he pulled out his pipe and lit it. (I know some of you hate it lol)

"I respect your rules sir." Troy replied.

"Good, now let me ask you some serious questions, do you love my daughter?" Mr Montez asked.

Troy didn't need to think about it, it was something he had known for a long time, "Yes sir, with all my heart."

"Would you give your life for her?"

"Yes." Troy replied.

"Do you respect her as you respect my rules?" Mr Montez asked.

"Yes." Troy said truthfully.

"Would you marry my daughter?" He asked.

"Yes…what?" Troy asked puzzled, he stood and looked at Mr Montez seriously.

"Would you marry my daughter? I've spoken to your mother, she thinks it should be your decision, she feels that you do love my daughter and that if you wanted you could marry her? I'm a respected man and I'm well known Troy. My daughter deserves a loving relationship. A loving husband?"

Troy couldn't believe it; Mr Montez was being completely serious.

"Are you serious?" He stammered.

"Of course I am. Gabriella I am sure was a virgin before your activities and my family I feel that you branded her, you are her rightful lover and husband. I know you're embarrassed about talking about this. I'm not too impressed with it easier but I need you to see that I am serious!"

Troy was astounded; he couldn't believe what he was hearing!

"Will you?" Mr Montez asked with raised eyebrows.

Troy smiled, "Yes I will!"

Mr Montez's serious face spread out into a smile, "Wonderful, wonderful my boy." He said shaking his hand.

Mr Montez walked over to a cabinet and pulled out a bottle of his best Spanish vodka and two shot glasses.

"Your parents won't mind if we drink to this spectacular celebration." He said and he poured the vodka into their glasses.

They held them up laughing, "To the wedding."

They knocked it back and then refilled the glasses, "To our agreement."

They laughed and chuckled and shook each others hands as they refilled their glasses and made toasts.

"To our prosperity."

"To my future wife."

"To our families joining."

"To your children and my grandchildren."

After the bottle was half way Mrs Montez came into the study.

"Damn blasted woman, can't you see we're celebrating!" Mr Montez roared, he could not handle his drink; he was completely drunk whilst Troy, who could handle his drink a whole lot better, was merely tipsy.

"So…is there a reason to celebrate?" Mrs Montez asked brightly.

"Of course there is, we are in the presence of our future son in law." Mr Montez said stumbling around.

Mrs Montez threw her arms around Troy and hugged him tight.

"This is wonderful; I must phone Jack and Sarah. They'll be delighted." Mrs Montez said rushing out.

"Where is Gabriella, she must surely know!" Mr Montez said loudly.

"Oh, we had an argument earlier, she's wandered off somewhere. She's probably gone to the library or to see one of her friends." Troy said feeling a little guilty.

"Very well. Go home and be with your family! Let them drink to your good news as I have my boy!" Mr Montez said slapping Troy on the back affectionately.

"Yes sir!" Troy said saluting him and he walked out laughing.

Troy walked home stumbling and laughing, he sang all the way down, "I'm getting married in the morning." And danced and chuckled.

Though as he walked he hoped Gabriella would forgive him, his wife to be!

EEK! I had no idea where that came from! It just jumped in at me from the middle of the chapter and I just had to do it! It's just so awesome! It's more drama and it was soooo fun to write! Review and tell me what you think! Please guys, I'm just aching to know what's going on in your minds. Did I go over the top a little with the marriage thing? xoxMusicalxox
