Chapter 2:
The Parents Conversation
The next few hours went by pretty quickly, and everyone was starting to leave, well except Gabi and her mother. Ever since Gabi and Troy started dating, both families had spent every Christmas and New Years together, and this one was no different. While Mr. and Mrs. Bolton, and Ms. Montez were cleaning up, Troy took Gabriella out to the front porch and sat down on the porch swing and wrapped a blanket around each other. Meanwhile, inside the three parents were talking about their children's engagement. "You know, to tell you the truth, I thought that Troy would have asked Gabi to marry him about two years ago. I didn't think he was going to wait this long," Jack stated while looking at his wife and Ms. Montez. "I agree with you Jack, I thought he would have asked her already as well," Ms. Montez said. "They really are great together, aren't they?" Mrs. Bolton (Sarah) asked.
Jack replied without even taking a second to think about it, and said, "They are perfect together, and they make each other happy. Although sometimes I don't act like it, all I care about is my only son being happy, and Gabi makes him happy. Before they met, I thought that Troy couldn't play basketball any better, but boy was I wrong. The effect that she has on him is incredible! Whenever she watches a game of his, he's playing for her, not to win. I'm soo happy that he met her. She also showed him another side to himself that he knew he had, but was afraid to show because he was afraid of what his friends would have thought. Troy couldn't have found a more wonderful girl. They were made for each other." By Jack saying this, he received looks from both women that were surprised. "I always thought that you objected to Troy and Gabi," Sarah said. "At first I did, but then I realized how much happier he was, and knew that he loved her, and when he threatened to give up basketball for her, I knew that she was the most important thing in his life." "Wow Jack, out of the four years that I've known you, I never would have thought you would say that," Ms. Montez (Karen) said. "You know, Troy had a great effect on Gabi as well. We had moved a few times, and just as Gabi would start to get used to a place we would have to leave. She was afraid to get close to anyone, but Troy showed her that things would still be the same even if they were on different sides of the country. Gabriella used to be at all her old school the "freaky math girl" but when she met Troy, that all changed. She always used to sing, until her father died about a year and a half before we moved to Albuquerque. When her dad died, she stopped singing, and all she did was school work, or read, until Troy anyway. I've never seen her so happy, he completely changed her life, and I am grateful for having such a great boy in my daughters life. It's amazing how two totally different people from two completely different worlds make each other whole. They were made for one another, and the love that they have will never end, nothing will be able to tear them apart," Karen explained. Sarah then added, "Not only did they change each other, but they also turned East High upside down. Now, there's not one clique, or social group that doesn't involve everyone. They're a legend at East High, and proved that anyone can do anything and that no one should be afraid to try something new." With that said, the three adults walked over to the window, and watched Troy and Gabriella together. They were just sitting there holding each other close, looking at the stars, not saying anything, while saying everything.
Well, there you go…Chapter 2! Hope you liked it. I forgot to mention in Chapter 1 that everyone's in their sophomore years of college, and are all 20. I thought this chapter should be about what their parents thought. It's not the greatest, but it works. Chapter 3 should be up soon…anyone that has any ideas for the next chapter would be greatly appreciated; I have some, but not many. Please review! Thanks!
