Hey! Thanks for the reviews. Troyella will happen soon, I promise! (:


Gabriella cuddled with her blanket as she sipped a warm glass of hot chocolate as she sat in her bed and flipped through the channels. She tiredly surfed channel to channel, waiting for something interesting to come on. Gabby looked at her digital alarm clock, it was 2:34. She landed on some classic romantic movie.

"Didn't you ever love me?" the beautiful woman said in a soft tone.

"Of course, I always did and always will. I was just waiting for you."

"Why would you wait?"

"To see if you're heart's in the right place."

"It is," she said, deep in his arms. "It's with you."

Gabriella watched the TV bleakly and held her cup tighter. She looked at her closet. Hanging on a hanger covered in clear plastic was a soft silk dress with a small train and a matching veil with a little crown. She looked at the gown in the closet. She looked at the engagement ring sitting alone on her night table. She looked at her wedding plans sitting on her lap. She looked at the calender. She looked at heart. Two weeks.

That was so overdramtic, Gabriella thought, thinking about what she said to Troy earlier. When she came down stairs he was gone. He was probably off with the Chad and the boys, but Taylor wouldn't allow it. He was probably at Melissa's house. Yeah, Melissa's house.

Suddenly, the sound of the door clickling ran through her ears. The door shut and Gabby could hear feet shuffle downstairs, in an unorganized pattern. Gabby bit her lip and turned off the TV. She stepped out of her room, and clinged to the wall. She heard a deep creaky footstep slowly banging up the stairs. Gabriella came to the corner and poked her head out. She same a figure of a man, fists clenched. She slowly crept up as he came closer.

It was Troy.

He suddenly, collapsed and Gabriella managed to catch him nearly before he fell. As she struggled to hold him up, she wondered if we was drunk. With the sudden smell of alcohol, he was. She sat down in the middle of the hallway and leaned Troy against the wall. Troy would never drink, ever. He cared too much about basketball to put his health in risk. He would never do something to ruin his chances for basketball, but he already did what he thought could ruing it...marrying Gabby.

"Oh, Troy." she said softly, as she pushed back his soft brown hair.

Troy's eyes fluttered and he began to get drowsy. "...Gabby..." he mumbled.

Gabriella played with his hair and smiled to herself. "Why do something like this?"

"Because of you."

Suddenly, Gabby could feel her eyes sting with tears and her vision became blurry as Troy tiredly rested his head on the wall. She took in a long breath and wiped her eyes. Why am I scared?

Gabby stood up and pulled Troy up, she led him to his room and pushed him on the bed. She tucked him in, like she did to her own children and smiled to herself. "Oh, Troy." she whispered to herself before turning off the lights.


Yeah, it's a short chapter. I need time to think...i'm not going on hiatus or anything! PLEASE REVIEW!
