The following morning, Gabriella didn't want to wake up.
She subconsciously smiled in her sleep.
Gabriella turned to her right, and saw her mom's tear stained face, but she was smiling. Gabriella smiled back, and then she looked back in front of her. There, with the goofiest grin on his face, was Troy Bolton. Gabriella smiled. " I love you." Troy mouthed to her, while the preacher continued to talk. Gabriella smiled and blushed, she glanced down, and shyly looked up, " I love you too." She mouthed back. Troy held her eye contact as he let out a sigh of relief and continued to grin. " Do you, Troy Alexander Bolton, Take thee Gabriella Lorena Montez to be your lawfully wedded wife? In sickness and in health, until death do you part?" The preacher said, as his glasses slid down his nose. Troy glanced at Gabriella, " I do." He said surely as he easily slipped the diamond ring onto Gabriella's left ring finger. The preacher nodded and pushed his glasses back against his face, " And do you, Gabriella Lorena Montez, take thee Troy Alexander Bolton, to be your lawfully wedded husband? In sickness and in health, until death do you part?" " I do." Gabriella smiled as she too, placed the ring onto Troy's empty ring finer. " Then, I pronounce you husband and wife. Troy, you may kiss the bride!" The preacher closed his bible, gave a warm smile and stepped back. Troy let go of Gabriella's hands, and reached up and lifted her veil out of her face. He looked at her beaming face, and the smiling was contagious. Slowly, Troy began to lean in-
Gabriella's nose began to twitch. She swiped at it angrily.
" He slowly leaned in and-"
It was no use, there was no way Gabriella could go back to the dream she had dreamt since high school, always ending in the same place.
Slowly, she opened her eyes.
Gabriella glanced around her room, and remembering the previous night, became overcome with sadness.
Her stomach felt as if it was full of bricks, and her breathing came out in gasps, trying to regulate after the crying.
She stayed snug in her bed sheets, with them pulled up to her chin.
Her eyes lids were puffy and her eyes were bloodshot red.
She lay towards her French doors leading to the balcony, in hopes that maybe, just maybe he'd come back to her.
She stayed awake all night, just for her hopes to be crushed when the early morning sun came up, and he was not there.
Then, suddenly, Gabriella heard the doorbell ring.
She lifted her head, and jumped out of the covers, she tore open her door, and swiftly ran down the stairs.
" It's him! It's gotta be him!"
She got to the door, quickly unlocked it, and swung the door open.
Gabriella's bright smile faded into a sad frown.
"Austin?"
Austin stepped into the doorframe and swept Gabriella up in a hug.
" Gabriella!" He breathed, " I was so worried about you, are you ok? Is Faith ok?" Austin released her from his death grip and looked at her sorrowful eyes.
" What's the matter?" He asked.
Gabriella just shook her head and wiped the tears from her cheeks.
Austin's expression relaxed as he pulled her into another hug.
" Don't cry honey. I missed you too"
Gabriella hugged back; she needed the comfort, even if it wasn't for the same reason as Austin.
Gabriella cried into his chest as Austin awkwardly patted her back, attempting to soothe her tears.
His attempts made her cry even more, his touch just wasn't the same.
" We're broken."
