You are The Music in Me Chapter 1: Sorry, a high school musical fanfic

Oh I had a lot to say
Was thinking on my time away
I miss you and things weren't the same
'Cause everything inside it never comes out right
And when I see you cry it makes me wanna die.

Troy Bolton Stuck his keys in the ignition of his new truck in a fury and started it up. He quickly pulled out of the Montez's driveway and down the street in a state of anger.

He just had a big fight with his girlfriend Gabriella; scratch that, A HUGE fight with Gabriella. They had yelled and screamed and said a lot of things they didn't mean.

Troy, blinded by his anger pulled over to the side of the road and put his head against the steering wheel, thinking over what had happened.

I'm sorry I'm bad, I'm sorry I'm blue
I'm sorry about all the things I said to you
And I know I can't take it back
I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds
And baby the way you make my world go 'round
And I just wanted to say, I'm sorry.

Troy Groaned as he had a flashback of the night's events

Flashback:

Troy was in Gabbys room before they were about to go on a date when his phone rang. "Hello?" he answered.

"Hey Troy it's Chad, we need you to come down for an emergency team meeting."

"Um, I'm kinda busy now, can we do it later?" he asked glancing over at Gabby while she put up her hair

"No man, we got this new kid we want to join the team but you gotta approve him" Chad relented

"Ugh man, I'm really busy" He groaned, Gabby looked over at him quizzically

"Come on man, it'll only take an hour, two at most"

"Fine, I'll be there in a half an hour, bye" he hung up the phone and turned to Gabby

"What was that about?" she asked looking up at him from her desk

"Uh I'm really sorry Gabs, but I'm gonna have to bail tonight" he said sadly.

Hurt filled Gabby's eyes and he could see it.

"But why? Troy, this is the fourth time in 2 weeks" She said slightly angry

"I know but it's the team, we have to have an emergency meeting" he tried to reason with her. She snorted "of COURSE, well then if it's THE TEAM don't let me stop you" she said sarcastically.

"What's that supposed to mean?" he asked offended

"What about ME Troy? Did you forget about Gabby?" She said holding back tears

He softened a bit seeing her upset. "Listen, I'm sorry but I HAVE to go"

"NO TROY" she said getting a angry "You don't HAVE to go, you're CHOOSING to go." He got a little angry at this comment.

"Well I'm sorry that my friends are important to me!" he said sarcastically

"AND I'M EVEN MORE SORRY YOU'RE GIRLFRIEND ISN'T!" She yelled letting the tears come.

"THAT'S NOT TRUE AND YOU KNOW IT!" he yelled back

"NO TROY, I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW THAT ANYMORE!" She Cried.

"WHY ARE YOU SO UPSET! WHAT'S YOUR DEAL?" He yelled.

"MY DEAL IS MY BOYFRIEND IS CHOOSING HIS TEAM OVER ME…AGAIN!"

"JESUS WHY ARE YOU BEING SO ANNOYINGLY BITCHY ABOUT THIS!" He instantly realized he made a mistake the second the words left his mouth.

"Annoying? Bitchy? Well then, I'm sorry for annoying you Troy, just leave then, and I won't ever have a chance to annoy you again!" she yelled through tears

"No Gabs...I…I" He said softening his voice

"Just leave ok? Your precious basketball robots await you" she sinisterly

"You know? Your IMPOSSIBLE sometimes!" he said, offended by her comment.

Gabby looked up at him tears and hurt obvious in her eyes.

"Then go" she whispered

"What?" he said not hearing her.

"THEN GO" she choked out

"FINE I WILL" he then stormed out of the front door.

This time I think I'm to blame
It's harder to get through the days
We get older and blame turns to shame
'Cause everything inside it never comes out right
And when I see you cry it makes me want to die.

Troy replayed the fight in his head, realizing what he had done wrong, Gabby had been right. He had skipped out on the past 4 dates for basketball. He had disappointed her AGAIN. He had forgotten about her lately.

But worst of all,

He hadn't saidsorry…even once Troy banged his head light against the steering wheel while repeating "Stupid, stupid, stupid" over and over again to himself He then quickly sat up and pulled the car out and did a complete 180 back down the street. He knew exactly what he had to do.

I'm sorry I'm bad, I'm sorry you're blue
I'm sorry about all the things I said to you
And I know I can't take it back
I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds
And baby the way you make my world go 'round
And I just wanted to say, I'm sorry.

Troy parked back into the driveway and quickly went through the gate to the Montez's backyard. He scaled the oak tree and stepped onto the concrete of Gabriella's balcony.

He took a deep breath and turned to look in her room. He saw her sitting on her bed with her knees up against her chest, she was obviously sobbing into her pants. Troy felt his heart break at the sight of Gabby so upset, and even more so Because he had caused it. He breathed again and walked up to Gabby's door then knocked lightly, Troy saw her look up from her bed.

She realized it was him and just stared at him in complete shock. Then she walked up to the door and opened it.

"What Troy? What do you want?" She said holding back in the tears

"I…I wanted to say something to you" he stammered, quickly loosing his nerve.

"WHAT? What could you possibly have to say to me" She almost yelled.

"I'm Sorry" he said sincerely

"What?" She said confused

"I…I'm sorry &….I love you" He said again, looking deep into her eyes

Every single day I think about how we came all this way
The sleepless nights and the tears you cried
It's never too late to make it right
Oh yeah sorry

"You… you LOVEme?" She barely chocked out. Troy smiled gently and tucked a piece of her long black hair behind her ear and caressed her face. "More than you can imagine" he whispered to her . She then launched herself at Troy causing him to stagger back a few feet but she kept holding on to his waist and cried into his chest. He stroked her hair gently and smiled a her

"I Love You" He said gently.

Gabby pulled him in closer "well don't ever let me forget it." She whispered back.

"I won't, I'm sorry" he smiled at her and wiped a tear away.

"Sorry was all I needed to hear' she smiled back at him and lay her head on his shoulder
