Hey everyone! I'm so sorry for not updating for like ages but had a lot of stuff going on in my life recently, so just never got round to it.

Anyhow, on with the story and as always, I don't own High School Musical or anything you recognize in this story!

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Troy Bolton wandered aimlessly around the busy streets of London, trying to figure out what on earth he was going to say for his best man speech at his friend Danny's wedding. He walked around for what seemed like hours, until finally settling down on a bench by the river. As he watched all the busy people walk by, occasionally a happy couple would stroll by hand in hand, without a care in the world, and Troy would feel a pang of jealousy run through his veins. He found himself thinking back to when he was last truly happy, when he was with the love of his life, Gabriella Montez.

Unfortunately, all the good memories were overshadowed by one mistake he had made after graduation.

FLASHBACK

Troy walked up to Gabriella's front door, mentally preparing himself for what he was about to do. He rang the bell and was greeted with a big hug from Gabriella when she opened the door.

"Hey Troy, you didn't say you were coming over tonight, whats up?" said Gabriella, Troy stood still for a moment, staring at her, getting one last good memory, before saying "Hey, Gabs we need to talk". Gabriella frowned and brought Troy into the kitchen, where for a moment Troy just sat and stared at his shoes.

"Here's the thing Gabi, I'm going to New York for college and your staying here, as much as I love you, and I really do, I just don't see the long distance relationship working out" Troy said, Gabriella felt a hot tear fall from her brown eyes, whilst Troy continued, " I am so sorry but, I think we have to break up before the relationship just kind of fizzles out, that would hurt myself and you far too much".

Troy stopped as he watched Gabriella walk slowly over to him, before opening her mouth and whispering, "Get the hell out of my house Troy".

"Wait Gabi, I would like us to be able to be friends" Troy said, "Oh would you, well excuse me if I'm not really up for being friends with the guy who just broke my heart, now would you please just GET OUT!!!" yelled Gabriella, before pushing Troy in the direction of the door, refusing to listen to his pleas to just let him explain fully, she pushed him out the door, looked directly into his eyes, then slammed the door in his face.,

END FLASHBACK

That was the last time he ever saw her, the love of his life, and not a day went by that he didn't hate himself for leaving her like that.

Troy slowly picked himself off the bench, and trudged back to the hotel he was staying at. He walked past the bar/entertainment room, and heard a woman singing, and the crowd going wild for her. He looked in, and just thought to himself, how much the woman looked like an older version of Gabriella. But no it couldn't be, Taylor said that Gabi had moved to Italy, to work on her language skills. She was probably with some Italian man called Paulo or something like that.

Without giving it another thought he walked into the elevator, and just as the doors closed and Troy was out of earshot, the woman performing said "Well that's all for tonight folks, thank you all for coming and I'm Gabriella Montez!"
