Troy and Gabriella stayed on the coffee house for three hours. It was time for closing. It was three hours of non stop talking about their lives.

"We're closing!" One of the baristas called out to Troy and Gabriella. They walked back to Troy's car and drove home. When they reached Gabriella's two room, one bathroom, small kitchen apartment Troy and Gabriella walked up to room 21, Gabriella's apartment.

"Well, here it is," Gabriella let out a small sigh.

"Yep," Troy went up and down on his tippy-toes. There they stood in an awkward stance, until Troy decided to make a move. "Well, I should get going."

"Okay," Gabriella slowly nodded with disappointment. Troy quickly turned and walked a few steps away. Gabriella swiftly turned around to open her door. As soon as she got it open, she felt someone grab her shoulders and turn her around. She became face to face with the man that she thought had just left.

"I forgot something," And took her face in his hands and touched his lips against hers. Troy felt a spark, and he was hoping Gabriella had too. And boy, did she feel one. The kiss was over as quickly as it started.

"Bye," Troy once again walked away leaving a speechless Gabriella for she had nothing to say. There was something there, that she couldn't describe. The girl who's read the entire dictionary, who graduated with a 4.0 and was valedictorian, the girl who dreamed of being a writer, couldn't describe a simple kiss.

She shuffled into her apartment, almost as awkwardly as the moment as silence. She walked to her couch and just sat down. Gabriella stared into space, just smiling when something brought her out of her trance.

"Mommy, Mommy!" A little five year old boy sprinted over to her. He had light blonde hair, and coffee colored eyes. He was wearing Thomas the Train pajama's.

"Hey buddy, why aren't you asleep?" Gabriella asked the little boy.

"I waited 'til you come home" He tried explaining.

"I see that. Where's Auntie Sharpay?" She said referring to her best friend and babysitter for the evening.

"She wait with me." He said as the tall blond walked into the room.

"Oh did she?" Gabriella said as she glared at Sharpay.

"I tried to get him to sleep, but he insisted on staying up until you came home," She tried explaining.

"You should have tried harder." Gabriella likes a certain order in her house, and she likes to have him in bed by nine at the latest.

"Auntie doesn't sing right," He explained as he saw his mom getting mad.

"Alright, say goodbye to Auntie then, go to room. I'll be there in a minute."

"Okay," He nodded, "Bye," He said as he hugged her knees(because he was so short) and skipped to his room.

"I'm really sorry, I tried so hard, but he just kept complaining and crying until I agreed. I was getting a headache and he was loud." Sharpay told her friend honestly.

"It's fine Sharpay, just next time put the CD I told you about on, and he'll be fine." Gabriella explained. Every night her son would ask her to sing this song, and she would sing. It was a song that her and her ex-husband sang in a high school musical together. When the boy heard it, he instantly fell in love with it. He keeps insisting that no one can sing it like her and his father.

"Fine, but now that your home, I have to go." Sharpay said and hugged her friend and left. Gabriella quickly made her way into her sons room and found him laying under the covers with a big smile.

"Hey Zac, you ready to sleep now?" She asked the yawning five year old. He only nodded his head and scooted lower until his head was resting on his pillow.

"Yup," He yawned once more.

Gabriella sang the song that Zac wished she would.

She said, I was seven and you were nine
I looked at you like the stars that shined
In the sky, the pretty lights
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
Growing up and falling in love and our mamas smiled
And rolled their eyes and said oh my my my

Take me back to the house in the backyard tree
Said you'd beat me up, you were bigger than me
You never did, you never did
Take me back when our world was one block wide
I dared you to kiss me and ran when you tried
Just two kids, you and I...
Oh my my my my

Well, I was sixteen when suddenly
I wasn't that little girl you used to see
But your eyes still shined like pretty lights
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
They never believed we'd really fall in love
And our mamas smiled and rolled their eyes
And said oh my my my...

Take me back to the creek beds we turned up
Two A.M. riding in your truck and all I need is you next to me
Take me back to the time we had our very first fight
The slamming of doors instead of kissing goodnight
You stayed outside till the morning light
Oh my my my my

A few years had gone and come around
We were sitting at our favorite spot in town
And you looked at me, got down on one knee

Take me back to the time when we walked down the aisle
Our whole town came and our mamas cried
You said I do and I did too
Take me home where we met so many years before
We'll rock our babies on that very front porch
After all this time, you and I

Gabriella was never able to finish the song because they never made it to eighty-nine. Zac thought that this song fit their relationship perfectly. Gabriella and her ex were best friends when they were younger and just grew into a relationship.

They ended their marriage because Ryan wanted to join the army, but Gabriella was so set against it. She didn't want to lose him, and when they had that fight, they realized that they had some issues to work out. Ryan was willing to try to work things out, but Gabriella couldn't be married to someone who's life might end before their time. So, their marriage was over, and Zac never understood why. All he knew was that his mommy and daddy couldn't work out their marriage.

When Gabriella finished, Zac was already asleep. Gabriella didn't like to be out and about when other people aren't, so she headed to bed. She changed out of her jeans and T-shirt and into a pair of flannel pants and tank top. She crawled into bed with happy thoughts of Troy.
