They lay there, floating in water, both thinking the same thing, they weren't meant for each other.

How could they be? They'd both tried to crush each other, she was a world class celebrity, and he was…no-one, sure he was famous at his school, but beyond that, he'd sink into anonymity. They couldn't work out, and they both understood, besides, Troy thought, why should he have to be put through all that? Through being the 'unidentified friend' or 'plus one' she took with her. He wanted to be who he was by himself, not by being with Gabriella Montez.

It was Troy who spoke up first.

'Gabriella, this isn't right, you and me both know it, don't we?' willing her to refuse to let him go, say she wasn't thinking it.

'I know' she replied, both their hearts sinking at her words.

'We're from two different worlds Gabs, and they don't fix'

'You don't have to explain Troy, I understand, and there's no hard feelings, honest, maybe if we were in a different place at a different time, but not right now'

Troy nodded, and got out of the water, Gabriella soon followed, her feet feeling heavy with sadness.

They dressed themselves and Troy drove her home, back to her new house, her empty, lonely house.

Reluctantly, Gabriella stepped out, graceful as ever, but feeling far from it.

'So, I guess I'll see you around then?' Troy said.

'Not for a while' Gabriella replied, 'I've got permission to go away for a month, modeling contracts and such, they could be what it takes to make me a super'

'A super?' Troy asked.

'Supermodel' she replied, smiling slightly.

After an awkward silence, Gabriella stepped closer to the car.

'We're doing the right thing aren't we? I'm not making the biggest mistake of my life?' Gabriella asked, totally unsure, but needing to ask.

'How can we know? We might never know, or we could find out real soon, it's all up to nature and fate' Troy answered wisely.

Gabriella blinked back the tears, not wanting this to happen, though Troy looked completely calm.

'Bye then' she said, kissing him on the cheek.

'Bye' he replied, before driving off, every inch of the road a crack in Gabriella's heart opened.

He had broken her heart.

4 hours later

'Shar? I need you' Gabriella mumbled into the phone.

After a short quick conversation, Sharpay and Taylor and Kelsi were on their way.

Gabriella answered the door, looking very unlike her usual model self.

'Oh honey!' Sharpay said and enveloped her in a hug.

'So what happened?' Taylor asked, joining in the hug along with Kelsi.

Gabriella led them through to the living room, and told them the whole story.

'I see what you mean, but honey, people have been known to make a go of it' Taylor told her.

'No Taylor! They can't, I know it's harsh Gabs, but this is the right thing! Letting go of the one person you loved is the hardest goodbye to say, but when it's right it gets easier over time, just forget about him Gabs' Sharpay said.

'Trying to forget someone you loved is like trying to remember somebody you never knew' Gabriella replied, staring Sharpay down.

'Gabi, I heard this song once, and it sort of fits your situation, the chorus is like this, 'never let go if you still wanna try, never wipe your eyes if you still wanna cry, never settle for no answer if you really wanna no, never say your over him if you can't let go' Kelsi mentioned.

Gabriella burst into tears and flung herself on the cushions.

'Come on Gabs, at least now you won't have cheerleaders glaring and hating you every time you walk through East High' Sharpay reassured.

'I don't give anyone a reason to hate me, they create their own little drama of pure jealousy' Gabi mumbled.

'We know, but because you were with Troy, you ruined the picture of their perfect future, they were just afraid to do something because of your status'

'One piece of advice sweetie' Taylor began, 'there comes a time in your life when you realize who matters, who never did and who always will, so don't worry about the people from the past, because there's a reason they didn't make it to your future'

Gabriella nodded, and hugged each one, just wanting to be on her own.

They left, and Gabriella walked through to her kitchen, the stainless steel, modern, gray and silver kitchen. So cold, so empty, so lonely.

Slowly, she walked round the rest of the house, noticing in each room how bare they were, how un-homely.

She threw herself on her bed and cried.

'Baby, when you're gone, I realize I'm in love' she whispered.

Quietly, although no-one else was in the house, she sang to herself, drawing her knees up to her chest.

I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lye
Is made up on your side

When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it ok

I miss you

I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do reminds me of you
and the clothes you left, that lie on the floor
And they smell just like you
I love the things that you do

When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
And When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
And When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it ok

I miss you

We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were
Yeah yeah
And all I ever wanted was for you to know
everything I do I give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me Yeah...

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
And When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
And When you're gone
The words I need to hear, will always get me through the day
And make it ok

I miss you...

'Oh Troy' she said.

A/N

Ok so a cheesy ending and all I know!!!! But I couldn't think of what else to put.

Also, you may have noticed I haven't been updating regularly, that's down to 2 reasons. The first being that I've had a break from it when I went on holiday and the novelty had sort of worn a bit, so it may take a while to get back into it.

The second, I feel I can tell you now. I've been talking to HSMandChelseaFCfan, who has really helped me through a lot, giving me advice and being someone to talk to when I needed it so I'd just like to say a huge and very grateful thank you to her, I love you and always will, thank you for everything you've done for me. (I'm a bit over-emotional, you'll find out why in a sec) It's hard when you're in the position I'm in to talk to people, I mean really talk, to pour out all your problems and dump them on someone else, partly because a lot of people these days are so self-obsessed (I can't think of how to put that in a nice way so you'll have to excuse me!) but she was there and gave me strength and I'll be forever grateful.

Around the second of December 2007, I will give birth to an amazing baby. No matter what sex or whatever disability (touch wood there is none), I will love it with every part of me that can. I know you must be thinking either, she's lying, because I have read things where people have said their 14 and have 4 kids already, but I'm not, or she's such a slut etc.

I'm sixteen on the 27th of September, and we didn't plan for a child. Indeed I don't think, if things had turned out differently, that I'd have become a mother until I was maybe 25. But this is what happened and fate has chosen it's path and what can I say? I'm actually happy about it. At first, as Luc will know, I was unsure of what to do and me and Elliott (the father) were having problems, the main one being we weren't actually together at the time, which proved to be rather difficult at first, but Luc helped me in how to tell not only Elliott but also my parents, which was extremely nerve-wracking. But Elliott and me are together, happy and looking forward to becoming parents, and my parents are looking forward to becoming grand-parents!

Elliott's sat next to me now and he wants to write a message to you all, so I hope I haven't shocked you so much as to stop you from reviewing, and I hope you don't see me differently now or judge me.

Much love, Evie xx

Hey!

It's Elliott now, just wanted to say thanks 2 u guys 4 giving evie something to do, she's been bored out of her mind for the past few weeks and annoying me so much! In the end, I gave her my laptop and she checked stories out on fanfiction, I think its called, which made her shut up for a while! (She laughing right now)

So, cheers! I guess!

I gotta go cuz she's using being pregnant to the full advantage saying she need's a drink or toast or something random! This time it's a pepperami stick and orange juice!

So before her highness gets all mardy I'd best be off!

Elliott x
