A/N: I'm so sorry that I havent updated, I was on vacation with my family, but here's the next chapter. Please Review! No Flames Please.

The next few days were pretty normal. The same ol' days that happen every week. Except for the fact that I was at gone from seven in the morning until seven at night. I barely got to see Lena anymore, and I didn't like it, but I had to do what I had to do. So my mom wacthed Lena for me. Basketball pratice let my mind wander from what had happened. It let me experience what I missed so much.

I also got to be around old friends like, Chad, Taylor, Sharpay, Zeke, Kelsi and Jason. Ryan and I were friends but we wern't close like me and the rest of the gang. Probalay being because we had different intrests, and we were always in different places.. I lost touch with some of my friends after Gabriella passed. I'm not exactly happy that I did. But what can I do now? That's in the past. I mean come on, I was only nineteen.

"Hey Troy, how have you been?" Asked Sharpay.

"I've been ok, I guess" I replied with not much ethusasim. I woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

"And Lena?" Taylor asked.

"She's doing great. She's more like her mother each and everyday" I replied with sadness in my voice.

"Troy are you ok?" Jason asked

"I haven't been better" I replied with a fake smile.

"I don't believe that" Chad replied

"It's the truth" I replied and walked away. The real truth was that, what I was feeling was the total oppisite. I wasn't really happy. I know what you're saying. It's been six years, get over it. but put yourself in my shoes, then you won't be saying that anymore. It's just so hard, but I'll deal.

No One's P.O.V

"What's his problem?" Asked Chad.

"Give the guy a break, he lost his wife" Replied Sharpay.

"Yeah six years ago" Replied Chad.

"Give him time. He's sensitive. Put yourself in his shoes." She replied

"Yeah Yeah whatever" He replied.

I drove to my mom's house to pick up Lena. I parked outside of my old house, she still kept it even after my dad died. She smiled as usual, screamed my name and jumped into my arms. I tried to smile back, but nothing appered on my face, as usual. I thanked my mom and got in my car. I drove to In 'N Out burger and got Lena and I something to eat. I then went home and set out the food.

We ate in silence. Well I did, Lena kept on babbling about something, and Re run's of The Replacments running(Yeah they still have that show). Lena loved that show, it made her happy. Even though I couldn't stand it and the theme song always got stuck in my head, and I can't get it out for day. (It actually happens to me.) Of course I wanted her to be happy, even if I couldn't be.

After dinner, I gave Lena a bath and put her in her PJ's. I went to her room and tucked her in.

"Goodnight princess. Sleep tight" I replied

"Goodnight Daddy, I love you" She replied

"I love you to honey" I Replied and kissed the top of her head.

I walked to the door and shut off the lights. I closed the door and sighed. I went out to the living room and popped in a old home VideoI felt a tear roll down my cheek, it was of Gabriella, Lena and I. It was about three weeks before she died. We had just taken Lena in the pool for the first time, She loved it. My mom had shot the video, there I was happy, now I was anything but that.

I turned off the T.V and walked into my room and changed into blue flannel plaid pajama pants. I got into bed, and shut off the light. I closed my eyes and just layed there for a few minutes. I thought about what had happened. I felt one tear fall down my cheek, I didn't even bother to wipe it away, because I was sure that more were to come.

"I miss you" I whispered and rubbed the spot that she used to be in. Maybe this would just be all a dream that I would wake up from soon...

Was it okay? Sorry that it was so short. R&R please:D
