Well On with the Story

Gabriella got back from School, a little too early. Seeing her mother leaving the drive in her car her face fell thinking she was off to work shook out of her thoughts by the car passing her she waited a few minutes before going in, walking into the kitchen she saw a note,

Gabi,

I probably won't be back when you get back from school. Gone to the Store.

I'll be back soon, Don't Worry I'm cooking :)

Love You

Mom xox

She smiled to herself before sitting herself down on the couch, turning on the music channel she could feel the tears coming thinking back to her last encounter with Troy...

The bell signalling Last Period had just gone off, Gabriella had agreed to meet Troy in the locker room last as he knew no-one would be in there, her last lesson wasn't with anyone who she really talks to so she didn't have to explain anything to anyone. She crept into the locker room to see Troy already there sitting on the benches.

"Hey."

"Heey!" Troy said smiling widely while walking up to her placing his hands on her hips. "I thought you wern't coming."

"You thought wrong." Gabriella said before Troy pulled her into a kiss, their tounges fort and her hands went to his hair as he attacked her neck.

"N--o Ma-rk--s" She breathed out. Troy looked up nodding knowing if Michael saw any marks on her, she would have alot of explaining to do, they both went back to their previous business before long, Troy had Gabriella pinned up to the lockers in a heavy make-out session. As his shirt was off he started on hers, with every button he would kiss that area around her breasts.

"Ooh--mph--oh-h" Gabi moaned out, Troy smiled as the shirt was off she started to unzip his jeans, before long they were both left in their pants, as Troy took one of Gabriella's breasts into his mouth he bit down on her nipple making her scream out before capturing her lips into another passionate kiss. By now with the door locked Troy walked into the shower taking off his boxers, with his manhood set free Gabriella peeled down her pantys and joined Troy in the shower. Just looking at her made Troy think he was going to explode just then, as they both took a hold of each other, they both got into another kiss as Gabriella broke the kiss she started to make her way down Troy as she stroked his lenght he moaned out as he felt their two bodies brushing against each other as she went down. Gabriella took Troy in her mouth and began working him up and down and would rub his balls together every once and a while to hear him moan her name made her feel herself get even more wet.

As he felt himself coming, he stopped Gabi and pulled her up, hearing Troy say not yet babe, Gabriella smiled to herself as his hands travelled down her and stopped at her entrance playing with it a bit.

"God, Gab-i your so we--t" Troy breathed out feeling Gabriella's hands all over him. She pulled him up and held tight as they kissed once more as their hands roamed each other. Troy pinned her up to the wall, and entered her. Slow at first but picked up his pace after a long kiss with Gabriella. As he pumped in and out of her he could feel her pumping up to meet his thrusts and captured her lips into another kiss as the water fell on to them. They stayed like this for what seemed like forever, as they both came together screaming each others names he pulled out of her only to be pulled into another kiss as they pulled away Troy pulled Gabi so her back was facing him and they just stayed like that in each others embrace.

"I love this." Troy said kissing Gabriella on the shoulder. Gabi smiled to herself knowing he was telling the truth.

"Me too. I wish we could be like this, all the time." She breathed out feeling Troy's breath on her neck. She turned around to be pulled into a hug by Troy. As they let go they kissed once more before getting out and drying off together. As they were both dressed Troy joined Gabriella on the bench.

"You Okay?" Gabriella sighed.

"Yea--h. I just hate all this." Troy looked at her weird. "No Not, this as in us. Well yes us, but the secracy." Troy could feel she wanted to say more and was scared of how much she was going to say. Gabriella knew she had to tell Troy sometime and it seemed like the right time.

"Tr--oy--I think I lo--ve youu-u." Gabriella said cursing herself right after she said it. Troy was dumbfounded he thought he felt the same way, No he knew he did. But hearing her say it, He felt scared. Cause he knew he was with Sharpay. Gabriella looked over at Troy and felt the tears coming. There she had said it, but he didn't feel the same way, Gabriella thought. Running to the door she unlocked it and ran, as Troy darted after her he couldn't catch up she was gone. He put his head in his hands hearing his dad call out to him.

"Troy?!!"

"FUCK OFF DAD!" He shouted before heading home he needed to be alone, he felt so bad. Why had he not said anything? He knew why but he needed to tell Gabi why...

Gabi had no clue why, she felt heartbroken. She felt like a fool. 'Of course he'd love her, why me? I was just his bit on the side right?' Gabriella couldn't help but feel even worse for telling him. As her phone rang, she picked it up right away looking at the screen.

"Taylor!"

"Hey? wait Gabi your crying." Hearing the sniffles Taylor knew something was up.

"I told him Tay. I told him I love him and guess what? HE DOESN'T LOVE ME! I'm just a dirt-" Gabi poured out crying but was cut off by Taylor.

"No way are you anything like that GABI! I'll be right over." Taylor hung up, she'd rung her to see why she wasn't at school. But she knew it was something to do with Troy and know she felt like killing him, wait no she was gonna kill him.

----------------------

It was now Friday and Gabriella awoke to her alarm as usual, she rolled out of bed and walked into the shower, looking into the mirror she smiled. She had to admit, she looked good. She was wearing black short, shorts with a white T-shirt and a black waistcoat with a bow at the back, her hair was up in a messy bun with a few curls cascading her face. You would think she would be heartbroken and miserable. Yes, she was heartbroken, miserable yes. But she was not going to let Troy Bolton get to her, after a long talk with Taylor she decided to not even acknowledge Troy, she had shown what she felt, what she had been hiding for months now, but to her he threw it back in her face and showed her what she meant to him, nothing.

Taylor didn't really believe that Gabriella meant nothing to Troy, but there was nothing to convince Gabriella, to Taylor's memory her exact words were,

"Make sure before you fall for someone, there willing to catch you." Gabriella believed that she just fell for him too easily, he never needed her all he needed was the sex. That's all she thought she was to him, but she had no clue just how much she meant to him and why he never told her he loved her. He tried calling when Taylor was round but Gabi rejected all his calls, when he came over she locked all the doors, there was no way she thought she was ever going to forgive him and why should she? She was his secret, well now he doesn't have to worry any more she thought he has Sharpay.

Gabriella walked into school, a little late as her and Michael were busy up at the lockers they walked straight into homeroom and hand-in-hand, everyone stopped and looked to the door. Troy couldn't believe his eyes she never looked more beautiful, but Gabi didn't even look his way she wasn't doing it to make him jealous, nothing like that. She was doing it for herself, she had never felt more worthless than when she told Troy she loved him, she needed to feel good about herself and if that meant staying with Michael she was going to. No-One else thought anything of it, Shar even screeched as they looked 'so cute', but to Chad and Taylor both knowing what had happend between Gabi and Troy knew that they had to do something. After another detention off of Ms.Darbus Gabriella walked to her seat mumbling Whatever. Taylor was taken aback at this, Gabriella had never acted like that to a teacher, she didn't even try and come up with an excuse.

"You Okay?" Taylor asked concerningly to Gabriella.

"Never Better." Gabriella replied before looking to her left and smiling to Michael. As homeroom ended, Taylor told Gabriella she'd meet her in Geography to talk as they didn't have lessons together next.

"Kay, Cya then." Gabi replied walking out wrapped up with Michael, walking straight passed Troy. Troy just slammed his hands down on the desk.

"You Kay Babe?" Sharpay said touching his arm.

"Leave Me alone, Please!" Troy shouted walking away from her leaving her stunned.

It was now second period and Troy, Gabi, Chad and Taylor all had this lesson together. Although Chad had his first lesson with Gabi, he was explaining to the Tay and Troy that he hadn't seen her.

"She wasn't in it?"

"Nope. I dunno where she was." Troy just put his head down knowing exactly where she'd been he'd seen her walk away with him to the Janitor's closet and sure enough she walked into Class with he hair messed more than this morning - Still looking good - doing up the bow on the back of her waistcoat and a few buttons undone on her waistcoat.

"Gabriella?" The teacher asked.

"Yarrr." Gabriella replied as she took her seat, next to Taylor.

"Excuse Me?"

"Yesssss" She said putting her hands on her desk tapping them lightly.

"Where have you been?"

"You really wanna know?"

"Gabriella this is no way to speak to a teacher!"

"Kaaaaay"

"Do you want a detention?"

"Would i go to it if i did?" Troy,Chad and Taylor were stunned by what she was doing, Taylor sensed something was up when she didn't argue with an excuse but this just wasn't like her, she was an A+ Student never missed a homework deadline or ever ever spoken out of turn. Taylor thought there was something more to it, yes Troy had called many times but one phone call she got, she freaked out. She basically chucked her out saying she needed to be alone, Taylor knew it had something to do with that, it had to be...

"..But i really think you should give him a chance Gabs."

"I said it. I told him how i felt he had his chance." Before Taylor could say anything the phone rang.

"Erghh STOP CALLING!" Gabriella yelled into the reciever thinking it was Troy, how wrong she was. Her face fell, as Taylor asked her what was wrong she just shushed her. "--But..Wh--y?"

"Noo! NO! He can't come out. NO!!" And with that she slammed down the phone, with Taylor asking what was wrong she just said she needed to be alone and pushed her through the door saying she'd see her tommorrow.

"I don't know what's going on with you today but whatever it is cut it out now!" The teacher continued snapping Taylor back out of her thoughts.

"I don't know what you mean." Gabriella smiled innocently.

"Do you want to go to the Head?" Taylor nudged Gabriella telling her to stop it, but Gabriella just stood up.

"You know what, actually I would. I'd rather be there then stuck in this stinky classroom...With..SOME PEOPLE" Gabriella stated in front of Troy's desk looking him in the eyes, before exiting the classroom with a bang. The rest of the lesson was a blurr to Troy, when she was in front of him, he had looked into her eyes to look for something. He found it straight away it wasn't anger or Annoyance. It was hurt and a cry for help, he could see her trying to stay strong but he needed to speak to her.

-----------------------

When lunchtime came around Gabriella walked into the cafeteria with Michael whispering things in her ear, as soon as she walked in Taylor grabbed her away saying she needed to speak to her and brought her to their table. Sharpay and Kelsi wern't there, it was only Tay,Chad and Troy. Gabriella didn't even look at Troy and sat opposite side of the table to him.

"Gabriella? What's up with you."

"Huh?"

"Gabi?!"

"YEAH!"

"What's up with you today? Your not yourself."

"Yeah...What's up?" Chad added.

"Nothing. I just realised who's important and who's not." She said looking directly at Troy.

"Look, Gabi I-" Gabriella interrupted Troy before he could continue.

"No, okay I've got nothing to say to you. So Tay you were saying?"

"Erh...um.." Taylor didn't know what to do, Troy just sighed and put his head down as Taylor continued. "Who called you last night?" Gabriella's head shot up at this.

"Wha--t do y-ou me-an?" Gabriela stumbled out feeling the tears coming.

"You know what I mean Gabriella, someone called yesterday just after Troy and you looked so scared, you literally pushed me out your front door." As Troy and Chad listened carefully full of worry Gabriella could feel the tears coming and without hesitation let them fall, she looked so scared so fragile just like she had when she first told Taylor.

"Comin-g Ou-tt?" Taylor said thinking back to the conversation. "Noo?! He's coming out." All Gabriella do was shrug wiping the tears from her eyes, "They said he might be coming out soon and he wants a day release for his birthday." Taylor pulled her into a hug with Troy and Chad looking around confused.

"Taylor what am I gonna do? How can i celebrate my birthday with--him the-" Pulling away Taylor said.

"Gabriella! Don't even think about him okay, did your mum tell you?" Gabriella nodded before Gabriella said she needed to go home.

"Whatt?" Taylor exclaimed. "Well i've missed most of todays lessons anyway. I just need to be alone."

"Isn't your mom home?" Taylor asked.

"No, she's not back till late, and i need to gather my thoughts for that date tonight."

"You--r st-ill goi-ng?" Troy choked out.

"Course" Gabriella said turning her attention to Troy. "Why shouldn't I? I think I deserve to have some fun. Cya later tonight Troy." Gabriella said leaving the cafeteria with a smirk as Taylor just smiled to herself knowing Gabriella's mind wasn't only on Troy. She was probably just upset with Troy Taylor knew she still loved Troy, but the real hurt was from Greg, her twin brother.

----------------------------

As School ended Troy darted out of school telling Sharpay he'd meet her tonight as he needed to head home, when really he was on his way to a certain house. As he got there he knocked quietly on the door seeing Gabriella asleep through the window, he opened the front door finding it unlocked. Gabriella's head shot up at the door opening and Troy could see the frightened look in her eyes and tears falling everywhere.

"Tro--y? What are you doing here?" Gabriella said sitting up.

"I need to speak to you about la-"

"No, Troy. Please I can't even think about that now, not with.." Stopping before she could finish Troy came to sit next to her pulling her in for a hug.

"Gabi, baby I'm here for you. Just please talk to me. Let me help you." Defeated Gabriella nodded before wrapping up in Troy again letting the tears freely fall, knowing that she should hate him right now. But she needed to talk to someone.

"Well...It's my bro-th-er-r" Gabriella choked out. "He might be com-ing out of Prison..For our b-irth-da--ay." Troy nodded telling her to continue as he pulled her in so she was sitting in his lap with her head on his shoulder as she told him the story.

Gabriella was 13, it was a few days till her and her twin brothers Birthday, she was walking back from school one afternoon to find her father laying in a pool of his own blood. The police thought it was a break in at first, but Gabriella knew what had happend. Greg had always blamed her father for him, you see Greg wasn't a normal child, well normal yes, ill, yes. Greg was a very angry boy, he never thought of anything but death, blood and black. He wasn't a 'goth' he was just well, he said he was misunderstood but she believed that he was just ill.

Maria and Matthew Gabriella's parents always denied there was anything wrong with him, but Gabriella knew different, sharing a room with him she saw what he'd right in his diary the things he'd draw and the things he'd say, always saying things like.."Imagine what would happen if you stabbed youself in your neck?..Imagine what would happen if someone slit your head open...hereeeee" He used to tease, scare Gabriella by running his fingers along her neck and whispering things. Gabriella knew her brother would never hurt her, but he did, mentally. Gabriella could never go to sleep, every night laying awake wondering what her brother was thinking about what he was planning. There were always arguments in the house, between Matthew and Greg, Greg always used to say.."It was YOU! YOU MADE ME LIKE THIS." Gabriella would just cry, all the time she could never look at anything black or red, without crying as that what Greg had all over himself. He used to draw Red X's with Black around them all over his hands, their parents thought it was a phase till Gabriella found her father dead..

She called out to her brother knowing he was in ther somewhere, walking up the stairs she found him trying to kill himself, with overdosing on pills. Gabriella immediately checked for a pulse and made sure he didn't die. All that was running through her head was that he's that selfish to kill her dad and die. NO..he's going to pay, with an ambulance on it's way for her dad her mother walked in to find an ambulance carrying out her father and son. Running immediately to Gabriella, Gabriella pushed her mom away, blaming her for how it had got too far. And now she'd lost her father.

Her brother was convicted for manslauter and was also sentenced to a mental clinic, Gabriella and her mother had never once visited him. On her birthday they would celebrate Gabriella's but not one mention of her brother was mentioned, she had never told anyone she had a brother, to her she didn't. Taylor was the only one that knew and now Troy.

"Oh..Gabi..Babe." Troy said with tears in his eyes seeing Gabriella like this and hearing what she had to go through at only 13, seeing things no-one should see there whole life. He pulled her into another hug as she lay there crying on his shoulder. Looking up Gabriella got embarrased seeing his shirt soaked through.

"Oh God. I'm so sorry." Looking down Troy just laughed. "It's a shirt, nothing important." Gabriella laughed and Troy smiled seeing her smile, brushing hair out her eyes. "Your important Gabriella." Gabriella looked up to see Troy's eyes. They both leaned in and kissed, on thing led to another and they were down on the sofa in a heated make-out session.

"No." Gabriella said pulling away. "We-- can-'-t do th-is. It's wro-ng."

"But Gabi-"

"No.Troy. You have Sharpay and I have Michael, okay thanks for listening. You've been a really good friend." She said walking to the door.

"But Gabr-"

"Troy please okay Leave me to get over you. I'll see you later on tonight yeah, with your girlfriend." Troy simply nodded before Gabriella closed the door, and slipped down it in sobs before walking away to get ready for tonight. Knowing that her and Troy couldn't work they never could. He loved Sharpay and she loved him, like she said she needed to get over him. Little did Gabriella know he thought much more of Gabriella than she thought and missed out on him whispering outside her door before he left.

"I love you too."
