Chapter 18
Recap
Gabriella cried as she sat in the airplane. Her mother have been transferred to Australia which made Gabriella think that it would be impossible to see Troy again, unless she comes back to Albuquerque.
"I miss Troy already. I wonder if he read my note yet." Gabriella thought as she took out the rose that Troy gave to her in the car.
"I love you Troy." Gabriella whispered as she finally drifted to sleep.
End of Recap
Gabriella got settled in her new house. They live in a two storey house and a very quiet neighbourhood. Everything was so silent and for the first time, Gabriella hated it. She used to love peaceful surroundings and just read her book.
"If Troy was here, he'll be making so much noises." Gabriella smiled sadly at the thought of Troy.
"I wonder if he misses me." Gabriella whispered as she laid down on her bed.
------------------------------------
Troy drove to school sadly. He missed Gabriella like crazy. He couldn't help but look at the seat next to his where Gabriella always used to sit on.
"I wonder where she is now." Troy thought, finally arriving at his school.
"Yo Troy!" Chad called out.
"Why weren't you answering your phone last weekend? And where is Gabriella?" Taylor asked but Troy just ignored all of them and continued walking.
"Troy come back here!" Sharpay exclaimed.
"Can you just leave me alone Ice Queen?!" Troy snapped making Sharpay jump a little. He quickly walked away while the gang just stared at him in confusion.
"Did he just call you Ice Queen again?" Chad asked.
"Something's wrong. Something's really wrong." Taylor said.
Lunch time finally came and the gang was determined to get the truth out of Troy.
"Troy can you just tell us what's going on?" Sharpay begged but Troy stayed quiet.
"Come on. Tell us!" Jason exclaimed impatiently.
"What is wrong with you? Why aren't you answering?" Zeke asked.
"Most of all, where is Gabriella?" Kelsi finally asked.
"She's gone ok? She left and she's never coming back! Heck I don't even know where she is right now! All she left me was a letter!! Are you guys happy now?" Troy said, pushing his tray away and storming off. On his way, he bumped onto a freshman boy making him stumble on the ground. Troy didn't even care and just continued walking.
"The old Troy is coming back." The gang exclaimed in unison as they shook their heads.
----------------------------------------------
Months have past and time was healing Carla and Jack's heart but not Troy and Gabriella's. The two teenagers really missed each other and their parents knew that.
Gabriella went down the stairs and into the music room. Her mother bought her different types of instruments because she knew that Gabriella loves music. She sat on the chair in front of the piano and started playing a song. She dedicated the song to the only guy she truly loves, Troy.
"It feels life I haven't talked to him for years!" Gabriella thought as she started singing.
It has been so long since we have talked
I hope that things are still the same
hoping they will never change
cause what we had can't be replaced
don't let our memories fade away
keep me in your heart for always
Gabriella sighed sadly as she remembered Troy.
You made me believe
that I can do almost anything
stood right by me
through the tears through everything
I'll remember you,
and baby that's forever true
you're the one that I'll always miss
never thought it would feel like this
I'll be there for you,
no matter what you're goin' through
in my heart you'll always be, forever baby
I'll remember you
Gabriella knew that no matter what she do or where she goes, Troy will always be in her heart and would never leave her mind. She didn't realised that her mother crept inside the room and leaned on the doorframe behind her.
I promise you I won't forget the times we shared, the tears we cried
You'll always be the sun in my sky
It may be fate that brings us back to meet again someday
Even though we go separate ways
You made me believe
that I can do almost anything
You stood right by me
through the tears through everything
Carla watched her daughter sympathetically. She knew that Gabriella really loves Troy but she just couldn't take back on her words.
I'll remember yooooou,
and baby that's forever true
you're the one that I'll always miss
never thought it would feel like this
I'll be there for yooooou,
no matter what your goin' through
in my heart you'll always be, forever baby
I'll remember you
If the day should come when you need someone
(you know that i'll follow)
I will be there
Don't ever let there
be a doubt in your mind
'cause I'll remember you, you
Tears were now rolling down Gabriella's cheeks. Imagining Troy with another girl was just too painful but she knew that there were possibilities that Troy would find someone else. She just wished she could go back to Albuquerque and get him back.
I'll remember you,
and baby that's forever true
you're the one that I'll always miss
never thought it would feel like this
I'll be there for you,
no matter what your goin' through
in my heart you'll always be, forever baby
I'll remember you
Forever baby, I'll remember you
She ended the song followed by uncontrollable sobs. Carla bowed her head, slightly guilty and went out before Gabriella could see her. Gabriella stared at the photo frame that stood on top of the piano with her and Troy's picture in it.
----------------------------------------
Troy was finally back home and managed to escape from his friends. He really didn't want to talk to anyone that moment except if it was Gabriella. For months, his friends have been bugging him, telling him that everything will be alright. They were wrong though because the past few months without Gabriella was a living hell to Troy!
"Damn it Gabriella! I really miss you!" Troy thought as he stared at Gabriella's picture in his wallet. He suddenly grabbed his guitar and started to play a song.
I just don't understand why you
running from a good man baby
why you wanna turn your back on love
why you've already givin up...
You know you've been hurt before,
But I swear I'll give you so much more,
I swear I'll never let you down,
Cause I swear it's you that I adore,
And I cant help myself baby cause I'm
thinking bout ya constantly and my
heart feels so bad without you
Troy was too caught up with the song that he didn't notice that his dad was watching him.
"Troy can sing? How come I never knew?" Jack thought, surprised.
You can call me selfish
but all I want is your love
you can call me hopeless(hopeless) baby
hopelessly in love
you can call me imperfect
but who's perfect?
tell me what do I gotta do
to prove that I'm the only one for you(only one for you)
So what's wrong with being selfish?
Even if everyone start calling Troy selfish or devil, that would never stop him from loving Gabriella because he, himself couldn't even stop thinking about her.
I'll be taking up your time,
Till the day I make you realize,
That for you there could be no one else,
I'm just glad I have you for myself,
Baby, I would take good care of you,
No matter what it is you're going through,
I'll be there for you when you're in need,
Baby, believe in me.
Cause if love is a crime,
Then punish me,
I would die for you,
Cause I don't want to live without you,
What can I do?
Why do you keep us apart
why won't you give up your heart
you know that we're meant to be together
Why do you push me away
all that I want is to give you love
forever and ever and ever
You can call me selfish
but all I want is your love
you can call me hopeless(hopeless)
because hopelessly in love
you can call me imperfect
but who's perfect?
tell me what do I gotta do baby
to prove that I'm the only one for you
Selfishly, I'm in love with you
I'll search my soul to know that It's true 3x
To prove that I'm the only one for you
What's wrong with being selfish selfish
What's wrong with being selfish
Troy ended the song with tears stinging his eyes but he won't let them fall.
"What am I doing? Troy and Gabriella are really hurting. Why am I tearing them apart?" Jack suddenly asked himself. A genuine smile formed across his face. He's going to try his best to get Troy and Gabriella back together.
---------------------------
There we go! I hope you like this chapter. Nothing much happen here because I want to show that Gabriella and Troy had been missing each other! What do you think is Jack gonna do?
By the way, the song that Gabriella sang is called 'I'll remember you' by No Secrets and the song that Troy sang is called 'Selfish' by Nsync. You should listen to them because they're really good songs! Please review
