Meant To Last

An- Thanx! All of the reviews make me smile! Nothing to much happening in my life. I can't tell who the trivia winner is, because fanficion won't let me see the reviews for the last chapter. The answer was 10. The wonderful people that answered correctly were, TroynGabi, HMHSMOTGHgrl, x-ImAgInE-x, icybabie, and DancingSweetheart! All of you are wonderful. I would say something...but that might give something away. I have a ver big mouth. No more of my babbling.

Disclaimer: You get the point...

Chapter 4

Gabriella opened her eyes. They locked with mine...before she pushed me off. "Troy...what am I going to do? I...called off the wedding. He probably hates me." She burst into tears. Why?! Why was she thinking about him now?! "How can I fix this?" Time for best friend Troy.

"Gabi, he loves you. He'll understand. After all the times he called off the wedding before, he's got no reason to be mad at you. He'd be crazy if he was." She laid her head on my chest. I wrapped an arm around her shoulder.

"I love him too." My heart ached when she said those words. Why? "Can we go back? I wanna talk to him." I nod and help her to her feet. She attatched herself to my arm and we walk towards the car.

"Gabriella! There you are!" Jason. "You left so sudden. I shouldn't have reacted the way I did." She wipped around and looked at him. "I'm sorry." She let go of my arm and ran in his direction. There's that cold feeling again. What's going on with me?!

"Troy, we're gonna go home. Thanks for everything." Gabriella's angelic voice spoke. I shook my head as I watched them retreat to his car. He was so lucky. He had the most beautiful girl in this entire world. She was in love with him. What does he have that I don't?! The two of them stopped when they reached the car. Watching him kiss her was a nightmare. I want to be able to kiss her. I want to be able to hold her. I want...I want to know what's going on with me. I sighed and jumped in my car, and speed toward Zeke's house.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I'm going crazy." I say simply, once Zeke opens the door.

"Hey Troy, it's nice to see you too." I ignore his comment and continue.

"I'm having these weird feelings and thoughts about her."

"Gabriella?" I nod. "Explain."

"Well, when she hugs me...I have this warm feeling, but as soon as she lets go, I feel all cold. I hate it when she talks about Jason. Whenever she says she loves him...I wanna scream. It drives me crazy. When we hold hands, my hands get sweaty. She looks amazing in my clothes. She is soo beautiful even when she's hungover and not wearing make-up. And when she kissed me the other day...it was like I went to heaven." I finished. I knew it was okay for me to tell Zeke all the details. He would actually try to help me instead of calling me a girly man. Zeke smiled. He was thinking something. "Well...what's wrong with me? Am I going crazy?! What's happening." Zeke laghed. "I'm glad my problems bring you humor." I state before standing to leave.

"Troy...I can't believe you don't see the answers." I stopped and turned to face him.

"What?"

"Two answers. One, you're jealous of Jason."

"I am not!"

"Really, do you want to repeat some of the things you just said?" I shook my head and he contiued. "Two, you're falling for Gabriella again." He said as if it were the most simple thing in the world.

"I am not falling for Gabi. I can't. I won't. It's impossible..." wasn't it?

"Denie it all you want, but you're hooked on Gabriella. They way you looked when you talk about her, and the way you say you feel says it all. You're describing the same things you felt 5 years ago when you first told me you loved her." He was right. I remember going to his house the day after our first date.

"I think you're right Zeke. I think I'm in love with Gabriella Joy Montez." A smile spread across my face.

"Now, the question is are you going to tell her?" My face dropped.

"I can't. She's getting married. it's clear that she loves him. I'm gonna...I'm gonna let her come to me. If our love was meant to last, then she'll find her wasy back to me." I've made a descion. A hard one...but it's for the best...right?

"Are you ready for the wait?" Good question.

"I'll wait as long as I can." Zeke nodded in understandung. We both stood up.

"I've gotta get ready for a double date. Taylor and Chad."

"They're back together?" He nodded again. "Who are you going with?"

"Sharpay. We kinda hit it off." Wowzerz. I left out of his house and made my way home.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's been two days, and I've been in my room for both of them. "Troy, will you get out of bed? You've spent two days...I'm not letting you set a record." She laughed. "Gabriella called while you were sleeping. She seemed upset. You should call her." She walked out as I picked up my cell. I punched in Gabi's number ans she picked up at the second ring.

"Hello?" Her voice was shaking.

"Gabi, it's Troy. Did you call?" She took a deep breath.

"Yeah. Can you come over? Everyone's at the airport right now picking up my family. I need someone to talk to..." She didn't need to say anymore.

"I'll be there in five minutes." I pulled on a pair of faded jeans, and a white polo. I grabbed my keys and headed out the door.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"He left me." When Gabriella told me those words...I felt extremlely bad for her. A part of me wanted to jump for joy. I knew I had to be there for her. I pushed all those thoughts aside. "He left me Troy. He called off the wedding and left me...and I don't think he's coming back." I brought her into a hug. She sobbed into my chest. I hated seeing hurt by someone she loved.

"If he left you, then he doesn't love you. He doesn't even deserve you." She sniffed.

"I just feel like it's my fault. Like I could've been better for him." I looked her straight in the eye. She really loved him.

"Gabi, I know that you love him, but you don't need to change. You're perfect, and if he can't see that. Then you don't need him. He wasn't the one for you." What she did next shocked me. She pressed her lips against mine. They were so soft and perfectly rounded. She wrapped her arms around my neck as mine crept around her waist. Slowly, she was pulling me up to her bedroom. I followed willingly. Once we were in, I pressed her up against her door. She opened her mouth as I licked her bottom lip. I broke away.

"We can't do this Gabi. You're hurt and I'm not taking advantage of you." She began to sob again.

"Troy...I just want to feel loved. I want someone to love me again." I felt so sorry for her. She didn't deserve to feel this way. "Why won't anyone love me? Why Troy?" I can feel my heart breaking. This amazingly stunning woman is crying infront of me. She doesn't think that anyone loves her.

"Gabi, I love you. Believe me I do." She looked me right in the eyes.

"Then show me. Make love to me. Right now." Shocking! "If you love me then you will." What was I supposed to do? She starts nibbling on my neck. I think I'm giving in. "Do it Troy." That's it. I gave into temptation. I made love to Gabriella Joy Montez. What would happen now?
