Meant To Last

An-Hey! Right now it's 1:32 am. I can't sleep right now, because I'm supposed to be on the sofa(very uncomfortable!) so, I decided to update. This chapter is a double dedication. It is dedicated to BreakToTheStars because we're doing a co-write, which should be out late september, and lemonwave22, because she got the trivia! Lol The answer was camel, and because there's so many names, and it's 1:39 am, I'm not gonna list them all. Sorry :/ Here's the next chapter though! Also, I've just realised that I'm in love with Jason...not the one in the story. I love him and his hott singing voice! I never intended for him to be a hated character at all. He started off sweet, but if he stayed that way, my story would be very similar to other people's...I think. Remeber, I'm not thinking straight. I haven't slept for 24 hours and it really sucks.

P.S. I DID NOT PROOF READ THIS OR EDIT IT...Sorry!

Disclaimer: Nope! Second movie is out, and I still don't own!

Chapter 11

"I know! It's a miracle, Jason!" Gabriella happily whispered into the phone. I glanced at the clock discretly. 6:05 am. Why would she call him so early. "I know it's my descion. I'll call when I have my first appointment. Of course! I don't want you to miss out on a thing!" She giggled. What's going on? "It's all very peachy that you met a girl. I gotta go. I have...a..guest...staying with me and I don't want to wake them. I'll call you when I know something." She hung up. I sat up on my elbow and stared at her.

"Morning."

"Good Morning!" She replied kissing me tenderly. She was much, much more cheery than usual. The Gabriella I know, isn't a morning person.

"Everything ok?"

"Everything is splendid, no Spectacular! I found some information online. About the whole baby thing...it said which ever came first has a greater chance." She possessed the biggest smile imaginable. How could she be happy about that? She didn't know it, but my heart's breaking inside. "Jason's happy about the baby! He wants to come to all of the appointments and everything. Isn't that perfect?!" Gabi asked me. Is that a trick question?

"Um, yes?...but are we talking about the same Jason that called off the wedding and left you?"

"Please don't bring up the past..." Just by hearing the tone of her voice, I could tell she was annoyed. "I really think he might've..changed his ways. I mean maybe it was just cold feet..." Why is she protecting him?

"You really believe that?"

"Yes. People can change! Look at Johnny! He doesn't hate you anymore."

"That's only because he wanted me to break up you and Jason!" I shouted, immediately regreting the words after ther left my mouth.

"W-what?! You broke us up?! It was you're fault?!" Gabriella interrogated, he voice rising with each question. Gabriella was now on her feet.

"No! Gabi that's not what I'm say-" I began, but was soon interrupted.

"I bet you did! You just couldn't see that I moved on. So the second you found out, you made a plan to ruin it! That kiss! Truth or Dare! All of it was set-up?!" We were both standing on opposite sides of her bed.

"No! Not at all. Gabriella, I wanted you to be happy. He made you happy then. I left you alone. Everything that occured was totally unpalnned."

"I don't believe you. I can't deal with this right now. I can't deal with you." She turned away from me.

"Fine, but don't blame me because you're too stubborn to listen." I pulled on my jeans and left her house.

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

I laid on my bed facing the ceiling. I'd been like that for at least an hour. The day seemed to be taking forever to end.

"Hey, I heard about Gabriella...congrats." Mel was standing in my doorway.

"Thanks, but you might wanna take it back." She was confused.

"I don't understand. She's pregnant...right?" I sighed. This was going to take sometime. I patted a spot on my bed for her to come sit.

"Well, there's a chance that the baby could be her ex's. SHe slept with both us the same day." I swear I heard her murmer 'what a whore'. Believe me, I would've went off. Why didn't I?..because I don't know the truth. I don't know if she really said it. It would've been a replay of me and Gabs.

"So, is that why you're so upset?" I shook my head. "Why?"

"We got into an argument. I told her that her brother wanted me to help break her and Jason up by accident. She went off. She's too stubborn to listen, so I left." Those words earned me a smack on the head. I now know how Chad feels...it hurts! "What was that for?!"

"Never, ever leave a woman! Even if she's being to stubborn and you know you're right! Stay with her! Comfort her. Anything!...but don't leave!" She scolded. That sounds like my mother and one of her prom lectures. I remember that day...okay, I'm getting off topic.

"What do I do now?" She stared at me like I was stupid. Only for today, I might be.

"Go after her!" She advised.

"Duh!" I joke as I playfully hit myself on the forehead. "Why don't we go out o eat dinner tonight?" I propose. I need a way to thank her for her help.

"Well, I guess I could stay the night and leave in the morning..."

"Great!" I kiss her on the cheek and head out.

"Troy! It's good to see you again!" Jason greeted. Why was he answering her door?

"Yeah, good to see you to...Jack" Okay, that was wrong...but you don't like either!

"It's Jason. You know that Troy." Gabriella spoke as she apeared from her kitchen.

"Can we talk?" She nodded and we both walked into her room.

"What's up?" Gabi is staying calm.

"Why's he here?" I asked a little annoyed.

"I thought since the baby's his-"

"Gabriella, there's still a chance the baby's mine." I interupted her. "Please tell me you're not losing hope."

"Troy...the things I looked up and read seem very truthful..."

"Seem, Gabriella. They seem that way, but you and I both know from past experiences that things aren't always what they same." I told her, referring to the time Mel kissed me. She knew what I was talking about. I reached out and turned her to face me.

"Troy, he has to be with is baby." A stern look remained n her face.

"Why are you doubtinh this Gabriella? Do you not want the baby to be mine?" Anger was in my voice, and I know she could tell. She winced when I called her Gabriella. "I promised I'd be here no matter what...so, why are you pushing me farther away?"

"I just don't want you to stick around and care for a kid that's not yours!" She yelled. Tears were in her eyes. "Troy, there is an extremely, etremely high chance that this baby is Jason's. I don't want you to be hurt if it is."

"Gabriella, right now the only thing that's hurting me is you." A tear escaped from her stunning brown eye, but I quickly wiped it away. "I wanna be here for you and the baby. Even if it's not mine. I promised that, and I always keep my promises." She gave me a sad smile and hugged me.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean it. I only wanted to do what I thought was best. Please-" I kept her in my arms as she cried.

"Shh, you're already forgiven." She tightened her old on me as I planted soft kisses on her head...

An- You tell me if that was good or not. I'm still half awake...
