Chapter Three-

"Wow man. I should kick your ass too, but looks to me that Chad did a good enough job."

Troy growled his annoyance to the comment made by his so-called friend and let out a gasp of pain while sitting back into his recliner chair. Jason Cross had heard the news through the grapevine and knew Troy deserved an ass kicking. So imagine his surprise when he arrived with a pair of boxing gloves and some hot clue to find Troy already laying on the ground moaning out in pain.

"She's never going to forgive me is she?" Troy knew the answer already, he just hoped it could be the one he wasn't expecting.

"Nope. You fucked up bad Bolton."

Troy threw a dirty look at Jason and laid back again. "Why was I such an idiot? Why did I let it go that far?" He was questioning himself instead of Jason.

Jason looked to his friend and saw actual guilt, pain, remorse and despair. He assumed Troy had just started the affair for the fun and thrill of it. He didn't expect him to feel sorry or saddened over betraying Gabriella.

"How the hell did it happen Troy? I mean…look at Gabriella. How could you give her up for some meaningless shag in the office?"

"I…it wasn't meaningless."

Jason knit his eyebrows together in confusion and then his usual gentle face features turned to angry ones. "What do you mean by that Troy?" He was speaking through his teeth.

"God Jase…it…at the beginning it was a mistake. But then…everything just…she told me things that made so much sense. She made me believe that what we were doing was…right. She told me she loved me and…I didn't hesitate to say it back to her. When the time was right."

Troy saw Jason's fists clench together and hoped he wasn't in for another beating. Or having to watch as another friend walk out of his life.

"You son of a bitch. I can't believe you fell in love with your mistress."

"She's not my mistress." The words hitting the both them of but in their own painful way.

"Then what the hell is she Troy? You're girlfriend? You're next wife? You're fuck buddy?" Jason was mad and throwing accusations around but he couldn't help but feel the disappointment in his long time friend. "You threw all this…" Jason gestured with his arms around the room and looked around the once loving home to make his point and then back to Troy. "…away for…I don't even know what. But you're the biggest idiot for doing so."

"Look I don't need you coming into my home and ripping into me, ok? I get it. I fucked up, I fucked up bad and now I've lost…everything." Troy felt his anger dissolve after his outburst, but felt worse for not having any answers that everyone was going to be seeking.

Jason looked at his friend and felt more disappointment and pity. "Look man. I'm sorry. But I love Gabriella like a sister. We all do. But the thought of you just…hurting her like that…is…"

"Unbelievable. I know." Troy finished Jason's unsure statement and felt his eyes prick with wet tears. "I don't know what to do. I don't know how to fix this."

Jason shook his head and sat beside his friend and gently slapped him on the back for some type of comfort. "I hate to say this Troy. But I don't think you can."

"So when are you going to tell him? You are going to tell him right?" Gabriella turned her heavy head away from the white porcelain toilet and gave an unrecognizable grunt.

It was too early and hurt too much to think about her current situation. It was times like this where she wished she was fifteen again and the possibility of marrying Jonny Depp wasn't as far-fetched as it really was. Back then she was a dreamer. A believer. But now, she was heartbroken and torn.

"You need to tell him Gabi. He may be a complete dickhead…but he has the right to know." The constant nagging of Chad was getting to her and she couldn't help the outburst he had provoked in her.

"God damn it Chad. I know ok. I know he has to know. But does it have to be right now, right this second when I still have my head stuck in a bloody toilet purging all this vile shit up?"

Chad sighed to himself and mentally kicked himself for being an ass. "I'm sorry Gabi. I didn't mean to push. I just…always thought this would happen differently."

Gabriella half laughed and thought the exact same thing. "I know. So did I. Now…now I'm going to be a single divorced Mother who grows to be an old spinster and has 33 cats."

Chad laughed half heartily and went to go sit beside her on the cold tiled ground. It wasn't small, but he sat next to her and held her tight as if they were squashed together. "Do you really think he's going to sign for a divorce when he founds out your pregnant?"

"He better. He has no right to say or do otherwise. He broke our wedding vows and he broke my heart. I won't let him have the chance to do that to my child."

"You're not going to let him be apart of the child's life?" Chad didn't mean to sound accusing, but he was just handed with one of the most awkward situations ever.

"Right now I'm a scorned, hurt and very hormonal woman. I don't know what I want and I don't know what's going to happen." Gabriella rested her chin on the top of her pulled up knees and leaned her body into Chad's. "I just need time and if I tell him now then I'm going to say and do all the wrong things and make this worse then it has to be."

Chad pulled her closer and felt her body shake when she started to cry. He soothed her with his kind words and soon enough she had fallen asleep on him. He smiled to himself and prayed that his soon-to-be wife wasn't going to be in the same position any time soon. He wanted children, of course, but not for a while. Neither did she. They were perfectly matched.

But so were Gabriella and Troy Bolton.

Finally after she felt that she could no longer purge her guts out, Chad swiftly and gently picked her up bridal style and carried her to the guest bedroom. When he placed her small and fragile body on the comfortable bed, he heard the door creak open more and turned to see his smiling fiancée.

Chad returned the smile while pulling a comfort blanket over Gabriella's tired figure. He quietly made his way out and pulled the smiling brunette with him.

"It looks amazing baby." He sat them down on the soft material lounge and was hugging her from behind. He pulled a strand of hair through his fingers and smiled seeing such a dramatic change for her. "I love it. I love you."

The girl being held in his tight embrace smiled and relaxed within his gentle hold on her. "It's different and I'm sure Gabi's going to get the shock of her life when she wakes up. I just hope all this change won't affect her and the baby."

Chad narrowed his eyebrows in annoyance and shook his head. "I still can't wrap my head around it. How could he cheat on her? I thought everything was fine. I mean…this baby isn't an accident. Gabi said they both agreed on trying."

"I know. That's what's so shocking. Imagine…finding out that you're pregnant and the day you decided to tell your husband the good news you find him in bed with another woman. I can't even understand how he could do that to her."

"Gabi asked him if he loved her. The other woman, I mean." Chad knew it was going to make the hatred for Troy bigger, but he there wasn't one thing he had never told the loving women in his arms.

"What did the spineless dick say for himself?" The venom and anger spilling through her tone was evident.

Chad lowered his head as if he was the one to be ashamed of the answer. He knew he shouldn't have felt like that, but he did feel ashamed for having thought Troy was his trusted friend. "He told her that he could."

"I'll kill him."

Chad laughed and nestled his face in the crook of his loving partner's neck. "This is all just so much to take in. Promise me we won't end up like them. Promise me…you'll love me forever? Please." Chad had never felt so vulnerable or defenceless before. And here he was begging the woman he loved more than anything to stay with him always.

The woman turned to face his dark skinned face and looked at him lovingly. "I swear to you Chad William Danforth that I will love you always. No matter what." She placed a sweet kiss on his soft full lips and pulled back to see him smiling like an idiot.

"I love you too Sharpay Amelia Evans."

Sharpay gave a small giggle and snuggled closer to the warm body close to hers. She thought back to when they had met. It had been just like Troy and Gabriella. Introducing the two best friends to each other and then falling head over in heels in love. Sharpay's first thought of Chad was that she had never seen such unruly and unkempt hair before and saw it as her mission to try and do something to it. But as many before her, she realized that it was a mission impossible.

The bonded over time while Troy and Gabriella were doing the same. Although each pair lived eleven hours away from each other, neither one of them stopped talking to each other. Whenever Gabriella would go visit Chad for the holidays, Sharpay would attend. Whenever Chad would visit Gabriella for birthdays and family functions, Troy would be trailing right behind him.

Soon enough all four families became close and became the older and doubled versions of their children. Within a short amount of time, all four families were the closest set of friends anyone could ask for.

So when Chad and Troy came back to Chad's childhood hometown, he found the courage to ask Sharpay out on her Seventeenth birthday and was thrilled to see her jump up and down as her way of saying 'yes'. Not long after that, even with the long distance, the two found themselves in a very serious relationship with each other and haven't been parted since.

When it was time to choose their colleges and future lifestyles, both came to the conclusion of attending the same college and applied for the esteemed and impressive School of Brown. Both lived together in a small flat about 10 minutes from campus so they could be catch up on all the time they missed out on during their last High School Years. They graduated, both with honours and then moved back to Albuquerque where Sharpay opened up on her own Boutique and Chad had opened his own bar. Both doing what they loved and enjoyed, were happy to stand side by side with each other and support each other no matter what life threw at them. Fortunately life was being good to them and they had never been happier.

The thought of her being so happy and living in pure bliss while her best friend did not, disturbed Sharpay a huge amount. So she came up with the only thing she could think of.

"Chad, Hunny? When can we send the clowns to Bolton?"

The events of Troy's affair will be mentioned in the next chapter. Hope it comes out clear and understandable for you all. :) Just want to also mention when you imagine the character for Delysia Holt, imagine Emma Watson (Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movies). It will make sense as to why I chose her when you (hopefully) read the next chapter, but I see her as Delysia. Also just to help out if I annoyed any of you with a confusing name, it's pronounced 'Del-is-ia'. Review? Cheers.
