" Gabby come ON! You look amazing!"
" Taylor, no I do not! This dress pattern is all WRONG! I wanted the one with the lace at the bottom and this veil is wrong too!" Gabriella flushed and frustrated sat down on the couch in the hotel room.
She angrily brought her hands to her face and let out an impatient sigh.
Taylor smiled and shook her head as she took a seat next to her nervous wreck of a friend.
" Gabby, it'll be fine. This is your dream wedding, to your dream guy! Everything will be fantastic!"
" Are you sure?" Gabriella asked cautiously
" I'm positive!" Taylor replied surely
" Now come on, we have a wedding to go to!"
" Taylor?" Gabriella asked before they walked out the door
" Yes Gabriella." Taylor asked as she turned to look at her friend
" Thanks." Gabriella smiled
" Anytime!" Taylor walked back to Gabriella and gave her a reassuring hug.
" Now, come on! You don't want to be late to your wedding!"
" Hey, I'm the bride, I'm allowed to be late!"
" Try using that excuse with your future hubby!" Taylor gave a sly smile.
Gabriella giggled
The two walked to the lobby on the ground floor. There, tapping her toe to the ground was Gabriella's second bridesmaid, Sharpay.
" Where have you been? Do you realize that you're going to be married in twenty minutes?" Sharpay exasperatedly threw her arms into the air.
" I know, I know! I'm sorry!" Gabriella swiftly walked to the door.
She paused and looked over her shoulder, " What?"
Sharpay and Taylor had the biggest smiles on their faces, and both had tears in her eyes.
Gabriella let go of the door handle and fully turned around, she had a look of confusion written across her face.
Sharpay was on the verge of creating a new river when she finally responded, " You look so pretty!" She said through gasps of sobs.
" See, I told you!" Taylor responded, pulling out a tissue and dabbing her eyes.
" You guys…" Gabriella started, but didn't finish.
" No, you're just going to make me cry more!" Sharpay laughed as she too, grabbed one of Taylor's tissues.
" Gosh Gabriella! The wedding hasn't even started yet and you've got us bawling!" Taylor laughed.
Gabriella walked over to her emotional friends and formed a group hug.
" Oh my gosh!" Gabriella gasped as she pulled away from her friends
" What is it?" The other two girls asked in unison.
" I'm getting married!" Gabriella squealed.
Sharpay and Taylor laughed.
" Not if we don't get you to the church!" Taylor giggled.
" Yeah, come on Mrs. Bolton, we've kept everyone waiting long enough!" Sharpay sighed.
Taylor and Sharpay each picked up a portion of Gabriella's long flowing gown and carefully walked out to the limo that was waiting for them.
Twenty minutes later the girls were in the church parking lot. They carefully got out and ushered Gabriella inside the church. Gabriella's mother was waiting for them.
" There you are!" Mrs. Montez exclaimed as her daughter entered.
Gabriella beamed and hugged her mom. When she pulled away, her mom sighed.
" You look absolutely stunning!" She beamed.
" Thanks mom." Gabriella smiled, and then a small tear rolled down her cheek.
" Sweetie, don't cry!" Mrs. Montez said as she too, held back her tears.
After sharing on more hug, Gabriella was positioned a few steps behind the big wooden doors of the church, leading to the sanctuary.
Gabriella shut her eyes and took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. Taylor passed her the bouquet of white lilies, and took her spot a few steps in front of Gabriella.
The doors opened and the song could be heard. Gracefully, Taylor and Sharpay walked down the aisle to the alter.
Gabriella' s mother joined Gabriella at her side and gently squeezed her hand.
Gabriella took a deep breath and slowly began walking towards her future.
Gabriella stepped out in front of the crowd, and was overcome by stage fright. Suddenly she was nervous and excited at the same time, but she continued to walk.
Halfway down the aisle, Gabriella decided to look at her guests, instead of the mosaic cross that hung behind the minister's podium.
Looks of pain, and sadness were only visible to Gabriella. People looked confused, and almost heartbroken, like their hearts were ripped out and stomped on.
Gabriella became self-conscious, was it her? Is her dress coming up at the back?
Suddenly, her mom stopped walking. She turned to look at her beloved daughter.
" Oh, Gabby, I'm so sorry!" Was all that could escape her sobbing mouth.
Gabriella was confused. Was it Troy? Did he die? What is going on?
Gabriella fell into a brief state of shock, then slowly turned her head to look at the alter, where her husband was suppose to be standing.
Instead of her Troy in a black tuxedo, with a goofy grin on his face, there was a very sorry looking Chad, being interrogated by a very vicious looking Taylor.
Gabriella felt herself loosing focus. The picture was becoming blurry, the sounds and noises were sounding surreal. Gabriella blinked very slowly; she could here her heart beating loud.
" He was here ten minutes ago!" Chad exclaimed to Taylor.
Gabriella felt lightheaded; she sharply in took a breath, and then swiftly fell to the ground.
Her Troy wasn't there.
