Anyway's here is the next chapter!

Disclaimer: Do you really think that a fourteen year old teenage girl would own a multi million dollar franchise?

Troy and Gabriella sat on the couch watching a random show, holding each other close. Troy would ocasionally lean over to kiss her head and cheek, and would play with her hair. Gabriella would giggle and smile at his loving gestures. Eversince three nights ago when they went on the date they had been irseprable, luckily for them and their friends they hadn't seen what was going around on the internet. The doorbell rang, breaking the couple's loving embrace. Troy groaned and got up, carefully not to disturb Gabriella who had fallen asleep.

Suceeding his goal, Troy carefully removed her arms from around his waist and got up. He looked at her one last time and smiled, she looked beautiful, she always did. He sighed as he got up to go get the door. Leigh was in the living room with them. Gabriella and Troy couldn't believe how big she had grown. She was know about seven months old (Let's just say that she is). Troy really adored the little girl, he loved her actually. Gabriella didn't know that though, he didn't know how she would react to him loving her daughter made from another man.

Troy sighed and walked to the door. He paused a little before opening it. He didn't know if it was fans, paparazzi or one of their friends. It could have even been there parents. But nonetheless Troy gripped the doorknob, and turned it. It turned out to be his smiling publicist Jackie Woods, she had been his publicist eversince he started out. She didn't come to his house unless something bad was happening, Troy didn't know what to think. He silently led her in, and she accepted. She was holding a brown envelope to her chest, and immediately Troy knew that she held a magizine, she always put it in a brown envelope.

"Jackie, why are you here?" Troy asked quietly, almost whispering careful not to wake-up Leigh or Gabriella.

"I have something to discuss with you and Mrs. Montez" She said.

"Okay" Troy nodded.

"Is she here with you?" She asked.

"Yeah, but she's sleeping in the living room, should I wake her up?" Troy asked, hoping that she would say no, he hate waking her up.

"Please this is urgent." She replied and he nodded. He decided not to push the subject any further, knowing the Jackie wouldn't budge.

Troy walked into the living room, he saw Leigh bouncing up in down in her swing. A smile came across her face, and she giggled when she saw Troy. Troy softly smiled back at her and made a funny face, making her giggle even more. Turning his attention from the little girl in the swing to the young women sleeping on the couch Troy sighed and walked over to the sleeping beauty. He looked at her before making a move to wake her up. He was still memborized by how innocent she looked when she was sleeping; she looked innocent all of the time.

"Gabriella wake up" He said slightly shaking her.

No Reponse.

"Gabriella come on wake up" He replied again.

No Repsonse.

"Oh my gosh Gabriella Brad Pitt has his shirt off!" Troy screamed and she jumped up.

"Where?! Where is he?!" She asked, and looked around only to see Troy and Leigh. "He's not here is she?"

Softly chuckling Troy shook his head "No, but I had to get you up somehow" Troy said shrugging.

"Why? I was in the middle of a very good dream!" She said smiling.

"Yeah, I'm sure you were, but my publicist it here-" She cut him off.

"Why?" She asked curisously, she had never met his publicist before, and she wondered why he/she was here.

"Because she has something to discuss with us" He said seriously, and she knew that he wasn't playing around.

"Okay, then let's go talk to her." Gabriella shrugged getting off of the couch with Troy following. They walked out of the living room and walked into the great room where his publicist was seated, looking very business like.

"So what'd you want to talk to us about?" Troy asked.

"Well it's a very important matter" She said and they paid attention.

"Okay, go on" They said in unison.

"Well you know that date you went on three days ago?" She asked and paused, waiting for them to nod. "Well the paparazzi got ahold of the pic-" She was cut off by Troy's groan. "-tures, and their all over the internet and magizine's everywhere" She replied.

"Is that all?" Troy asked and she shook her head.

"Not quite" She replied and he groaned. Gabriella was errie quiet scaring both Jackie and Troy.

"Gabriella are you okay?" Troy asked concerned.

"Yeah, please tell me the rest"

"Okay well here is the magizine that's not saying really nice things about you" She said and pointed to Gabriella. Troy was sitting on the couch with clenced fists, he hated it when people talked derogotory about his girlfriend, epiceally when it was the paparazzi and they know nothing about her. "Aparentaly your old boyfriend came out and said some pretty nasty things about you" She said and handed Troy the magizine.

"Gabriella Montez, Shady Past?" Troy read from the article.

"Keep reading Troy" Jackie encouraged. She knew that this would either break up their realtionship or make it all the more stronger.

"Acorrding to Robbie McClean, Gabriella Montez's old boyfriend (Who is now rumored to be dating Emmy winning singer Troy Bolton.) Gabriella's past is a lot more 'shader' than Troy or Gabriella put it out to be. Robbie says "Gabriella is the kind of girl who doesn't care about what she does to people" He then looked away from the interviewer. According to him she did a lot of bad things, like staying late at night at bars, and doing drugs. He even says that Gabriella didn't care about anything but herself" Troy stopped reading, he couldn't take anymore. He looked at Gabriella who had tears in her eyes.

"Why'd you stop?" Gabriella asked.

"I can't read it anymore" He replied.

"Please Troy, just keep reading it. I want to here what else he has to say about me" She said determindly.

"Okay" Troy sighed and looked though the article trying to find the place where he left off. "Troy and Gabriella have also been spotted with a little girl, who can't be older than a year. Who's this little girl? And is she really Gabriella's daughter like the rumor's say she is? Only time well tell" He looked at Jackie.

"That jerk actually said that?!" Troy screamed angerily.

"Yeah" Jackie said smiling sadly.

"I'm going to make sure that he wishes that he never said that! Hell he's going to wish he was never even born!" He screamed, and Gabriella winced. "Oh Gabriella I'm sorry I didn't mean to scream. I'm sorry baby" He said and hugged her.

"I'm going to go, and say no comment okay?" Jackie asked and Troy nodded. As soon as she was gone, Troy walked over to the couch and started rubbing her back.

"Troy..." She sobbed and her held on to her tighter. "How could he say those things? I never did any of that! He knows that, just when I was getting over everything that included him, he has to go and do this? Does everyone really hate me?" She asked crying.

"Shh baby no one hates you. Robbie is just a jerk who has nothing better to do. He just wants attention." He said soothingly.

"It hurts" She replied and he nodded. The only thing he could do was hold her.

"Sh...it'll be okay" He whispered.

"How do you know that?" She asked.

"Because, I intend on keeping my promise. I promised you that no one will ever hurt you. I intend on keeping that." He said and Leigh let out a cry. "I'll go get her, you just stay there, okay?" He asked and she nodded.

Troy carefully placed the fragile girl on the couch and went to go calm down the little girl. After he left Gabriella sighed and let the tears fall. Gabriella sat there thinking about how her life had been perfect up until a half hour ago. Her life had been perfect, she had Leigh, Troy and her old high school friends and Robbie was out of her life. But all good things come to an end right? And Gabriella was sure that this was the end to her perfect life. Gabriella had to make a decision, to either stay with Troy and let the rumors tear her apart, or leave and just go back to her normal life. Gabriella sighed one more time, she had finally made her decision and she knew that Troy wouldn't take it well.

"Gabriella?" Troy asked and she turned towards him. "She needs to be fed" He whispered and she nodded, absent mindly wondering how in the world she was going to tell him.

Please tell me what you think! I don't really like this chapter, but it was long right? Please review! Brighten my day:)
