The next morning Troy woke up before gabriella so he got up looked for his boxers and went downstairs to make breakfast for the both of them. He looked in the cabinets for all the things he was making Gabriella's favorite: blueberry pancakes, bacon and orange juice.

After 15 minutes of cooking her was finished so he went to wake up Gabriella since they both had to go to school. "Brie.. baby we have to get up." Troy said to her softly. she moved around before waking up. "Hi" she said to troy and troy smiled at her. "Come on i cooked breakfast for you then we need a shower" Troy told her. She wrapped the blankets around her body and walked into the bathroom to take a shower and troy took one in the other room. After she was done she got dressed wearing a pair of short shorts, a pair of turqouis boots, a stripped turquious and white halter tank top, with a cropped leather jacket. She put natural curls in her hair and put the back in a beret which only had the top half out. Her jelewry was 2 necklaces, one that said spoiled nad the other said dance. Walking out the bathroom her phone rung

Oh Gabriella said sadly

Baby you know we're trying our hardest to leave the unit for good but its not that easy

I know daddy i just wish you guys were here. You miss my sweet 16 and yesterday. Gabriella was now crying. Troy then walked in the room and saw her. He sat beside her wondering what was wrong.

Princess please don't cry you know I hate that. And I wish i was there so much so i could see your face of how you've grown up so much.

Gabriella wiped her eyes and laid her head on Troy shoulder.

I know i don't hear my baby sister crying.

Gabriella hung up the phone and wiped her tears and layed her head on Troy's shoulders. "I know it's hard Brie but you gotta be strong" Troy told her kissing her forehead.

She got up and got her stuff and went downstairs to eat her breakfast. They sat in comfortable silence until it was time to go. They walked into school hand in hand to their locker. "Are you okay...really" He asked her after they got their stuff. She shook her head no and hugged him. They walked to homeroom together to see all their friends there already. The girls walked up to Gabi who was sitting on Troy's lap thinking. "Hey Gabs whats up" Taylor asked but didn't get an answer.

"Troy what's wrong with her" Sharpay asked with her hands on her hips.

"She was able to talk to her dad and her brother this morning."

"Gabi...Gabi honey are you okay

"I don't know you guys I mean I'm glad I was able to talk to them but them not able to be here is hard especially for Dest and J I mean Destani used to cry herself to sleep just like I did" Gabriella now had tears in her eyes hiding head in Troy's chest. "Aww Gabi I know it's hard but it's gonna get better I promise" Sharpay said and Taylor nodded her head. They hugged her until she stopped crying. She then got up from Troy's lap to go to her seat after she kissed his cheek. Ms. Darbus then came in the class and bored mostly everybody as usual.

After that class was over Troy waited outside the door for Gabriella. "So what are you doing tonight" Troy asked Gabriella as she walked out the door. " Nothing probably staying at home watching movies why"

"Nothing just asked" He said walking away. Gabriella raised an eyebrow looking suspicious at him. But she just shrugged her shoulders and walked to her classroom with Taylor.

Gabriella sat on her couch eating popcorn watching Footloose really bored. The door bell than rang. She groaned standing up and going to the door, when she opened it she was surprised to see Troy outside holding a picnic basket and 2 boxes of pizza

"Well this is a surprise" Gabriella smiled letting come inside the house. "Well you said home alone so I thought that was my que to come but if you want me to leave I-

"No you being here is good for me, now I want be so bored" She reassured Troy. She took the pizza boxes out of his hands and sat them on table in the living room. Troy sat down on the sofa waiting on Gabriella to get the stuff from the kitchen. She then came out the kitchen with two plates and two cokes.

"So what brings you here on unotice" Gabriella asked him sitting close to him. "What a guy can't come see his girlfriend" He said reaching for the pizza while Gabi gave him a look.

"Okay I came over to see how you were with everything you know your dad and stuff" Troy said looking at her.

She sighed "I'm okay I guess I mean if I could just have a few minutes with my dad and Devin I would I know I didn't take it very well"

Flashback

5 years ago

a 13 year old Gabriella walked down the stairs about to hang with her bestfriend Troy until her dad called her. Greg Montez sat on the couch with her 18 year old brother Devin and hermom who was 8 1/2 months pregnant. "Honey could you sit down" Her mom asked her so she did.

"What's wrong" She asked

"Well um you know I was in the army when you and Devin were a kid" She nodded her head

"Well we kinda have to go back" Gabriella just stared at him. "You're kidding right... mom tell me he's kidding" Gabriella said now crying with her mom on her shoulder. "You know we don't want to go bu-

"Wait whose we"

Me and your brother"

Wow this keeps getting worse" She said crying in her hands, "when do you leave"

"A month after your mom has the twins" Greg said standing infront of her. "Baby you know if we had a choice we would choose you and your mom you know that"

"I know but why did you inlist" Gabriella asked referring to her brother. "I guess I just wanted to follow in dad's footsteps but come on we're Montez's we're strong nothing can stop or hurt us you know that" He told her causing her to laugh. She then got up and hugged her brother and cried in his shoulder. Maria just sat there on the couch crying, she knew it was bad for the babies but she couldn't help it. Greg saw his wife and sat on the couch next to her and let her lay down. So did Devin to Gabi. Gabriella and Maria both cried theirselves to sleep.

End of Flashback

"I don't know what I'm going to do Troy" Gabriella said looking down at her plate of food. "I mean I don't wanna go through that anymore and ecpesially the twins their birthday's next month"

"Hey look at me I know it's hard but come on you're a Montez you're strong and I know that you can do it" Troy told her looking right in her eyes wiping the stray tears coming down. " Thanks Wildcat you always know how to make me feel better"

"Well it's my job"He told and chuckling causing Gabriella to laugh. She then started eating her pizza and opened the picnic basket and saw a lot of dessert in there. "Did your mom make these" She asked refering to the 2 cakes and a pie and a bowl of choclate covered strawberries"

"Yes my mom made the cakes and the pie but your sweet, loving boyfriend made your favorite chocalate covered strawberries." Troy said walking back into the living room.

"Thanks you are too good" Gabriella told before putting a strawberry in her mouth."So when's your party" Troy asked taking a piece of cake from the basket. "Probably next Friday so when it's over the gang can stay the night. And since my mom gets home that Thursday so"(I've decided to make it December it's probably around the 15th so they get out of school next Wednsday) "You know Christmas is in like 2 weeks what'd you get me"

"Haha very funny Brie but I'm not telling I haven't even told the guys or the girls what I got you" Troy said chuckling as Gabriella pouted.

Troy's POV

"Come on Troy you can't give me a hint" Gabi asked me still pouting. It took everything in me to not give in. "Sorry Brie not this time" I told her hoping she would give up. "Fine" Brie huffed and folded her arms avoiding to look at me.

"Oh come on you can't be mad at me" I told her but she still wasn't looking at me. I had an idea I put my soda down. "Well I guess I'll just have to get the tickle monster." I told her and she looked at me and started running around the kitchen. I chased after her with me being a little faster I caught up to her. I picked her up and threw her back on the couch and started to tickle her. "Tro..Troy...st-st-stop" She said between laughter. I looked at her and seen that she had enough torture so I stopped. I kissed her lips and picked her up so that I could sit and she was straddling my lap. She moaned as I brought my hands to her butt and cupped it in my hands. She pulled away from me and sat next to me.

When they got back to school it was the day of the concert between East High and West High. The girls knew that they were going to be super tired since they were on both the dance and cheerleading team. Sharpay and Gabriella were walking to class when they saw Sean walking towards them and smiling at them. "Well well well if it isn't my girl and her friend" He said putting his arms around Gabriella's shoulders.

Gabriella stopped and threw his arm from around her. "First I'm not your girl I'm your ex-girl because you decided to cheat on me with my ex-friend" "Come on Gabi I thought you forgave me about that"

"I did forgive you but we are never getting back together plus I have Troy" Gabi said laughing at how he thought they would get back together, she and Sharpay walked away until he pulled her back to him.

"We're not done til I say we're done" He said griping her arm and Sharpay could see that it was hurting by the look in Gabi's eyes. "Dude let her go" Sharpay said trying to get his hand from around her wrist next thing she knew she was on the ground cupping her cheek. Gabi had wide eyes now. She tried her best to get out of his grasp but failed. "Let me go Sean I don't want you anymore"

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING" They all heard Troy say walking into the building with Chad and Ryan. Ryan ran to Sharpay to see her crying which is highly unlikely for her to do holding her cheek. "Move your hand let me see" Ryan told Sharpay who slowly moved her hand to see a big red and purple mark on her cheek. Troy then went up to Sean and pulled him away from Gabriella who now had tears coming out of her eyes

"Well if it isn't the three musketeers coming to save these two sluts" Gabriella was looking at him and then at Troy and Chad. "I don't know who your calling sluts" Chad said from behind them. Just then Taylor walked through the door with Zeke right behind her. "What's going on here" Taylor asked and Zeke was now holding a crying Sharpay. "Who the hell do you think you are" Zeke told him about hitting Sharpay.

"Oh boo hoo hoo your little slut is crying big deal" He then looked at Taylor who was looking right at him.

"Now all 3 of the sluts are here why ain't I surprised" Sean said coming closer to Taylor who was backing up towards Chad. Chad pulled her and Gabi behind him and he and Troy were surronding him. "I think you need to leave Davis before this gets real ugly" Troy said threatend clutching his fist.

"Oh I'm so scared of Bolton, Danforth, and Baylor should I go home and cry to my mom you know you can't fight me Bolton I'm much stronger and tougher" Sean said walking towards Troy.

"You wish you were just because you play football and tackle people doesn't mean a thing" Troy told him. Sean then laughed.

'Anyway this isn't about me and you and fighting this has to do with you putting your hands on MY girlfriend and Sharpay so I don't care who's stronger or tougher I care about my friends and especially my girl"

"She was my girl you know when you used to play all those girls Mister Bad Boy Bolton"

"Yeah that was 3 or 4 years ago but I wasn't the one playing the heart of someone I claimed I loved...Yeah she told me how you cheated on her for Siera just because you weren't getting anything from her and when she did it took everything in me to not come find you. So look who had the last laugh"

"We're guys we only go after 1 thing...sex... if your girl's not giving it you gotta make your way through life" He said shooting a glare at Gabriella.

"Wait you were using me.. just for sex" Gabriella asked angrily coming from behind Chad standing next to Troy.

"Oh please you knew what I wanted from day 1 you were too busy about daddy finding out" Sean said smirking.

"Why would I be scared of my dad finding out I'm having it now with Troy, you were just outta luck AND I just didn't want you" Gabriella chuckled folding her arms. That blew Sean he slapped her hard making her fall and hit her head against the lockers becoming a little dizzy. They all ran to her except Troy and Sean. Troy was now beyond furious, he threw the first punch at Sean punching him in his jaw making him fall down. Troy got on top of him and constantly punching. By then Chad and Zeke were trying to get Troy while the rest were by Gabi but Tay ran to get the nurse.

Jack and the principal came through the large crowd. Jack went to get Troy off of Sean pulling him up. Once he was off Sean got up and tried to run but was caught by Chad and Zeke. Troy ran over to Gabriella. "Hey look at me baby I need you to stay with me" Troy said entwining their hands together. "I'll try"

Just then the nurse came through and to Gabi. "She'll be okay she's just going to have a little headache." The nurse assured them they all sighed in relief. She brought the two back to the nurse's office to get ice for their cheeks

"All of you in my office NOW the rest of you go to class" The principal said refering to the crowd. They all walked to his office.

"Okay what's going on"

They all explained what happened to the principal about the fights, to the words that were said.
"Well I've heard enough... Sean your suspended for 2 weeks and you can not attend the contest tonight. And for you Troy you're suspended for a week and a half but since you have to perform tonight you may attend"

"WHAT how come I have to be suspended for 2 weeks and he started the fight"

"Because he didn't hit any girls which I don't know why you did, now all of you go to class" The principal said writing a pass for them all and sending them to class.

They all went through their classes it was now lunch time. Troy walked to the table and sat down with Chad and Zeke. Just then Gabriella and Taylor came Gabi sat next to Troy and just hugged him and Taylor sat next to her and Chad with her head on his shoulder.

"How are you feeling Gabi" Chad asked her, she smiled at him and ate some of her grapes. "I'm okay I guess I mean my headache's gone but my cheek still stings a little" She said. Gabriella looked at Troy and could see that something was bothering him. "Come here" Gabriella said pulling Troy with her to their secret spot. They sat down and just looked at the sky.

"So what's wrong you not talking" Gabriella asked him laying on the bench with her head in his lap.

"I don't know I'm just mad you know that but I can't stand the thought of someone putting their hands on you or Sharpay or any girl"

"I know what you mean but you fought him it's over okay me and Sharpay are okay" She said caressing his cheeks. She grabbed the back of his neck and brought him down for a kiss. After about15 minutes the bell rung they pulled from their make-out session with neither of them with a shirt. "Pleas tell me your wearing short tonight"

"You'll find out tonight" She whispered in his ear. They then walked back to class.
