A.N: Hey guys I am soooo sooo sorry about not updating in forever! But anyway heres the next chapter I hope you like it!

Last time:

"Send her back to her family, send her to boarding school, I don't care I just want her out of here!" Troy turned and stormed out of the room and came face to face with Gabriella. His eyes went wide realizing she heard everything.

"Troy come back here" Order her mother as she and his father came out of the room and saw Violet standing there with her head down.

No one knew what to do. Gabriella dropped her dance bag that she was holding and turned from them and walked out the back door. Everyone just stood there silently.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Troy you will go after her and apologize." His father said rather angrily.

"What!?"

"Now!"

Troy just sighed and made his way out the door to find Gabriella.

She ran through their back yard until she came to a little river with a bridge above it. She slowly made her way on to the bridge, took off her necklace and looked at the picture of her and her mom. She just sighed and looked at it. Her eye's were dry no tears came out of her eyes. She didn't want to cry over him. And she wouldn't. Her thought's left about Troy and went to her mother. She wanted her mother to be with her, so she wouldn't have to be here dealing with the thing's she has to now. She lifted her head as she heard some one nearing her. She saw it was 'him'.

He walked over to her and was thankful that she wasn't crying. He looked at her as she turned her head back down the locket she was holding in her hands and continued to look at it. They stood there in silence for a while until Troy broke it.

"Listen my parent's made me come after you." Troy rarely said sorry, so this was very hard for him to do. "Look this isn't easy thing for me to do." He said looking at her but she was still looking at that damn locket and he was starting to get frustrated with her. "Would you look at me?!" Troy exclaimed. But she wouldn't look up until he snatched the locket from her hand's.

"Hey! Give that back right now." She pleaded trying to get it from him.

"No. I'm trying to talk to you. I will give it back when I'm done."

"No. I'll listen to you just please give it back."

He smiled as she was struggling to get the locket back and he decided to have a little fun with it. He put his hand up over his head as Gabriella was stretching to reach it.

"Come on Troy just give it back please." She was now jumping trying to reach it.

He decided to get her worked up a little more. He moved his hand out over the water. As Gabriella's face went a little pale.

"Troy don't drop it please!" She was reaching out to his hand trying to get hold of it so it wouldn't fall out of his hands.

He looked down at her laughing. He thought it was funny seeing her struggle and trying to get something from him. All of a sudden he stopped laughing. He looked at his hand and found it empty. Then he heard a light splash. He had let go of it. He let it go. He never meant for it to happened it just did. He heard Gabriella scream. And turned his head to see her eyes filling up with tears. She was trying to get up over the bridge to jump down and get it, when Troy pulled her back stopping her.

"Let me go!! I need to get it!!" She screamed with tears pouring out of her eye's.

"Calm down it was only a necklace."

"It was more than a necklace, my mom got that the day I was born!."

"Well your mom can get you a new one. A better one than that piece of junk."

She started to smack him on the chest.

"My mother can't get me another one!" She scrammed at him.

"Why? If money the problem I'll give you the money." He said reassuringly.

"She can't get me a new one because she's dead!" She said as she sobbed. She gave me that locket the day before she died."

Troy was stunned and he didn't know what to do. He felt a huge wave of guilt hit him. He looked at Gabriella then to the water and back again.

"Gabriella.. I'm.. I'm sorry."

She shook her head and started to run back to the house.

"Gabi wait!" He started to run after her.

When he got to the house She was already in and up in her room when he saw his parent's about to go up the stairs when they saw him.

"Troy what happened?"

"I..I…" Matt sighed and stared at the floor.

20 minutes later him, Lucielle and Jack were sitting in the kitchen as Troy just finished the story looking down at the table ashamed. His mother just sighed and left from the table.

"Dad, I didn't mean to drop it. I really didn't." Troy said sincerely.

"I know son but just because you did mean to doesn't mean you didn't hurt someone." Jack said.

The two men just sat there. Jack sipping his coffee and Troy just thinking of what he did.

"Dad?"

Jack looked up from his coffee to look at his son. "Yes?"

"Is that why she's here? Because her mom's dead?"

Jack sighed. "Yes and no."

"What do you mean?" He asked confused.

"That's part of the reason why's she's here."

"What's the other half?"

"Well you see Gabriella's father. Something changed in him after his wife died. He buried himself in work. And well we all used to be such great friend's back in the day. And we decided if anything ever happened to them Gabriella would come live with us. Well one day Gabriella's father, Andy called us. He said he didn't want her anymore."

"What?!" Troy was shocked. He was amazed at how someone can just give up there child. "How did Gabriella find out about it?"

"Andy called her school and told them he wasn't coming back. The principle of the school ended up telling her that her father wasn't coming home."

"What a jerk."

"I agree with you there. So that is why Gabriella is here living with us. She had now where else to go."

Troy felt even more guilty foe giving her such a hard time for it. At that moment his mother came in the kitchen.

"Well she wont open her door. She has locked herself in. And she wont stop crying long enough for me to reason with her."

Troy couldn't take the guilt that he felt. He didn't want to feel it. He never felt guilty. His blood started to boil. He was frustrated and didn't know what to do. He stood up and marched right up to Gabriella's room and tried to open the door but it was locked. He went to the bathroom got a cue tip and picked the door opened and walked inside and saw her on her bed crying.

"Listen I'm god damn sorry that I dropped your necklace but get over it!! It's not going to bring back your mom! So do me a favour. After your done crying your river. Build a bridge and get the FUCK OVER IT!!" With that Troy stormed out of her room and slammed the door.

"Troy Alexander Bolton!" His mother yelled at him. "I can't believe you just did that!"

"I'm going to bed I've had enough of this shit today." Troy walks over to his room and bangs the door closed

Inside her bedroom. Gabriella was sitting shocked at what her said to her. And the funny thing was he was right. Sighing she rolled over turned off her light to get some sleep. For tomorrow there's school.
