Here is a new chapter guys!

Chapter 2

1 year. 1 year has gone by. 1 year since Gabriella was taken. 1 year since Troy, Nessie and Lucy awoke from a coma. 1 year without their: daughter, best friend, sister and first true love. Gabriella is still missing and they have no way on finding her. Troy and his family never gave up, but now... they are all losing hope. Troy is 14 years old, and in 3 months, he will be in high school. Chad is 16. In a month, Chad will be 17 and in November, Troy will be 15 while Gabriella should be 13. At this moment, Chad, Troy, Taylor, Ryan, Kelsi, Zeke, Jason and Sharpay are all sitting in their seat as graduation is going on.

"I would like to thank all of you for coming. This time last year, is when one of our best students, has been taken. We have no idea is she is alive or dead, but we would like to have a moment of silence for this student" everyone closed their eyes for the moment of silence. Everyone in the Bolton family thought of Gabriella... well, since it is about her after all. They thought of her: when they first met her when she was 6 years old, Troy teaching her how to play basketball, watching movies, everything. All the little things she did are what they remember. They remember her laugh, her giggle, how she was able to raise one eyebrow when she was thinking or being sarcastic, her smile, her hugs, her blush, how her eyes sparkle when Troy is around, and most important... how she would do anything to save her family. They all know Gabriella wanted to save them, even if she had to risk her own life. They all have this feeling, telling them Gabriella is alive.

Once the moment of silence was over, the principal started to talk about teachers.

"Ms. Darbus is moving on to East High, to teach drama and English, so Mrs. Lucy Bolton will be replacing her. Mrs. Bolton will be teaching grade 2 and 3. Grade 2 and 3 are split and grade 4 will be in there sometime this year" Nessie is now in grade 2. She is 7 years old now and very depressed, along with the rest of the family. They all want Gabriella back. Zak is now 23 and he doesn't have a girlfriend. Zak wants one, but he wants to wait until Gabriella comes home.

Once graduation is over, Chad and Troy walked to their family.

"Are you happy you are now out of here?" Troy and Chad turned around to see... Sharpay.

"Ya, I guess" Chad answered dully.

"I wasn't asking you" Sharpay snapped.

"So? Troy is my foster brother"

"Whatever. So, Troy are you happy?"

"Ya, I guess" Troy answered in the same tone as Chad.

"Will I see you over the summer?"

"I doubt it. My family and I are going to visit family in New York"

"Oh, that's cool! We are going there to!" Sharpay giggled as she turned around to leave.

"Yay!" Troy cheered sarcastically as Sharpay flipped her hair and strutted as she left.

"I wonder if she can give herself whiplash" Chad laughed. Troy laughed his first real laugh along with Chad. When they laughed before, it was forced, but this time, it was real.

"I hope she does" Chad and Troy turned to see...

Gabriella is currently in New York. She is now 12 years old. Her hair is now near her waist, and dyed. She has purple, blonde and blue streaks. You can't even recognize her anymore.

"My graduation is in 3 days, in Albuquerque" Gabriella whispered. It is 3 days before her graduation in Albuquerque, and Gabriella found out, the 'x' on the map is in Albuquerque, so Holly, Justin and Vanessa agreed they will go tonight to Albuquerque.

2 days later, it is the day before the graduation for Gabriella. Holly bought Gabriella a black dress with white from the waist down. On the white there are flowers and the dress goes to Gabriella's knees. (Gabriella's prom dress in the 3rd movie) Holly even bought Gabriella black and white flats to match the dress. The next day, Holly is playing with Gabriella's hair, straightening it. The purple, blonde and the blue is more visible now. As Holly, Justin and Vanessa sat in the small living room in their hotel room, they saw Gabriella walk out of her bedroom.

"Wow, you look beautiful" Vanessa told her.

"Thanks" Gabriella forced a giggle. Gabriella still has her wall, which only Lucy, Jack, Chad, Zak, Nessie and Troy can get passed, but no one else can. Once all 4 of them arrived to East Elementary, Gabriella saw everyone having a moment of silence. They all sat down next to Lucy, and Gabriella took Lucy's hand. She saw Lucy open her eyes and looked at Gabriella. Gabriella smiled and asked Vanessa for her cell phone. Vanessa gave it to her and wrote a message.

'It's me mom. Gabi' the message said as Gabriella let Lucy read it. Lucy smiled and hugged Gabriella tightly, not wanting to let go.

After graduation, Gabriella walked around. She heard Chad's comment about Sharpay.

"I wonder if she can give herself whiplash" Gabriella, Troy and Chad laughed

"I hope she does" Gabriella saw Chad and Troy turn around.

"Uhh... do we know you?" Chad asked as Gabriella smiled, and Troy tried to put her face, to a name.

"Wow, you can't even recognize your own sister! Now I wonder why I call you my brother" Gabriella laughed as both their eyes widened

"G... Gabs?" Troy stuttered

"Hi Troy" Gabriella answered cheerfully, happy to see her family again. Gabriella slowly walked to Troy, scared that he might be mad, "are you ok?"

"Ya. I think. I'm so happy your ok!" Troy pulled Gabriella into a tight hug.

"I'm happy you are ok, but I won't be able to stay long. I just came to check and see if your ok and I need to get somewhere" Troy frowned and loosened his hold on her.

"Oh, ok" Troy whispered.

"I will come back Troy. I will come back as soon as I get where I have to be. When I get there and get whatever it is, I will come back" Troy smiled along with Chad

"Promise?"

"I promise Troy" Troy smiled and kissed Gabriella's cheek.

"I hope you come back soon"

"I will Troy. But, don't tell anyone I came here. Mom knows and same with you and Chad"

"Ok, what happened to your hair?"

"I had to find a way to make sure, no one recognize me. Plus I like it. Do you?"

"Ya, I do. It's different" Troy smiled along with Chad.

"Are you going to give me a hug Chad?" Chad grinned and hugged his sister.

"Are you going to stay in contact?" Chad asked.

"I can't let them find me. They are able to trace calls, texts, emails and all that. I'm sorry; I can't" Chad frowned, "how about this. I will email both of you and mom, before I leave an area. Like, let's say I'm in Paris, I will email you, right before I leave" Chad and Troy smiled.

"Ok" Chad and Troy smiled and said at the same time.

"Just stay in contact this time" Chad told her, and kissed her cheek.

"Ok" all 3 of them smiled, and hugged each other, not wanting to let go.

And that's chapter 2. I hope you liked it.
