Thanks for the reviews guys! This chapter is one of my favorites because its Troyella fluff. But at the beginning there's a little Ryella. Don't worry this is the last chapter FOREVER for Ryella. I don't know how long I've been talking about it. But don't be mad at this chapter. I've mastered writing every single genre except romance. I mean I can write it but it ends too quickly. But I'll try to make it last. I know this chapters are short and I'm waiting for the chapter 8 or 9 because that will be the longest chapter ever. One word , five letters. D-R-A-M-A. Another thing is this chapter goes by a little quickly. Just the pitch-black part.

Recap
"Hey Troy. Where are the girls?" I asked as I set my keys on the counter. "Upstairs." He answered from the kitchen. "I talked to Ryan." I said starting conversation. "Really? How'd it go?" He asked as I took a seat in the living room. "I left. I couldn't keep Adriana in an environment like that." I explained. "You know Gabriella you are welcome to stay here if you like." He offered. " I guess so. Just for a while though. I need to get thinks taken care of with Ryan officially. But I'm gonna leave him alone for a while." I explain. I was about to keep talking when Troy's phone rang. "One sec." He said answering the phone.
I left the room and opened the front door. "For now, I don't belong to you. And I never will." I said slipping off the promise ring Ryan had given to me.

Chapter Seven
The pitch-black kiss
GABRIELLA'S POV
I closed the door and walked back inside the house. I put the ring under the front door mat. There wasn't anyway I could keep wearing a promise ring when he broke his promise to me.
Flashback 5 years agoI closed Adriana's door and walked into the living room. It was late evening and I just put Adriana to bed. Some days I couldn't stand even stand to look at Adriana because she looked so much like Troy. But I needed to get him out of my head. He left me years ago and he said he wouldn't regret it the decision. I believed him and told him I wouldn't regret it either. Adriana was turning twelve soon and I was surprised she never asked about Ryan. Like why he doesn't look like her or why he has a different last name than her. I wasn't ready to answer those questions. At least not yet.
I felt to hands over my eyes and warm breath down on my neck. "Guess who?" The voice asked. "Ryan come on." I said removing his hands from my face. He sat down on the couch and motioned me to join him. "Okay what'd you get me?" I wondered. He rolled his eyes and laughed. "What makes you think I got you something?" He asked. "Its Christmas Eve and you have nothing for me? I thought I was special to you." I whined. He kissed my forehead gently. "You are. Gosh I couldn't believe you did believe me." He said taking out a velvet box from he's pocket. "Oh…my……" I said mesmerized.
"I know what you're thinking. But I'm not going to. At least not yet." He said. He opened a box. A diamond ring was perched in the box. "This is my promise to you Gabriella. I promise to never hurt you or Adriana. I know she means a lot to you. I'll always love you for you and everything you stand for." He said holding the ring closer to me. "I promise to wear this ring as long as I love you." I promised as I held the box.
End of Flashback
I didn't love him anymore so there wasn't any point of wearing the ring. " Did you open the door?" Troy asked me. " Oh yeah. I just wanted to get some fresh air." I lied. He gave me a funny look. "Okay. Okay." He agreed.
AUDRINA'S POV
"Are you sure you are okay?" I asked. "Yes for the billionth time yes!" Adriana assured. I promised her I wouldn't tell mom or dad about anything that happened. "That's why I told you to tell someone about your problem. You could've committed suicide if I wasn't there." I warned. "Please Audrina don't give me a lecture about all the consequences of my actions. I wasn't even going to go that far. I just needed to relieve some pain." She explained. I nodded. Maybe she was right. She was just releasing pain.
"So where am I going to sleep?" She asked walking into the hallway. "Follow me." I said leading her to the bedroom next to mine. "Here." I said. She walked further into the room. The room was the same size as mine, had a closet, and a queen size bed. " How many rooms do you have in this house?" She asked sitting on the bed. "Mm…. I think. six…seven something like that." I guessed. "Okay…good to know." She answered.
"So you think we have a better chance of getting mom and dad back together?" She asked out of nowhere. "Yeah." I said. Since they practically lived in the same house they had a better chance of getting back together. "But we need a new plan." She pointed out. Our last plan to get rid of Sharpay worked. Ryan didn't really need any help from breaking away from mom. "Yeah. What could we do though?" I asked. "Well I guess we have sometime to think. Time to bring out Mr. Pencil and Mrs. Paper." I suggested. Adriana let out an evil laugh. "Don't kill anyone Adriana." I joked.
LATER THAT DAY
"What am I supposed to wear to bed?" Adriana complained. I walked into my closet and looked back at Adriana. "Pick something." I said as I went back to my homework. "Do we even wear the same size?" She asked as she picked out a shirt. "We are twins! Hello. Of course we wear the same size." I said looking up at her. "Well actually statistics show- don't get scientific with me. Just pick something." I interrupted. Finally after sometime she picked something to wear. " Okay I'll wear this." She said. I watched my window light up. "Aw man its gonna thunderstorm." Adriana whined. "So?" I said. "My mom hates thunderstorms." She explained to me. Suddenly it came to me. A perfect idea.
GABRIELLA'S POV
"So wear do I sleep again?" I asked following Troy. His house was HUGE. There were at least six rooms in the house. "Here." He said pointing into the room. I walked farther into the room and near the window. Damn it. It's raining. I thought in my head. I never liked rain. After a while I walked back to the front of the room with Troy. "What are you doing? Surveying the room?" He asked laughing. But my happy moment was quickly destroyed. With one thunder clap the room was pitch black. "Troy?" I asked? I blinked my eyes a couple of times and there was no difference between my eyes open and closed.
I walked a couple of steps forward until a bumped into something. I moved my hands up the object. "I think you found me." Troy muffled through my hands. "Sorry." I whispered quietly.(A/N: They are in pitch black. Remember that) I titled my head up and felt a soft pair of lips on my mine. I ran my fingers through the back of Troy's hair and he settled his hands on my waist.. But again my happy moments never lasted. The lights flickered back on and we quickly pulled apart.
Troy's lips were smeared with my cherry lip-gloss. "That was…" He trailed off. "Amazing." I whispered under my breath. "Yeah. It really was." He agreed. I felt the color rush into my cheeks. I just kissed Troy Bolton the man I sincerely promised to never have anything to do with in my life again.
ONE MINUTE BEFOREADRIANA'S POV
"Let's go!" I said pulling Audrina through the darkness. I had to go see if my mom was okay. She never liked thunderstorms. "Stop. That's where she's staying." Audrina stopped me. I turned and faced the room. "Wow that's real useful. I can't see!" I whispered. Luckily the lights flickered on. "O…my gosh." Audrina whispered. Our parents were making out with none of our help. They pulled away quickly. "That was…." Dad never finished his sentence so mom finished it for him. "Amazing." She finished. Audrina took running back to the room and I quietly followed.
"I guess they don't need our help like we thought." She said sitting on my guest bed. "Yeah. We fixed it. Our parents are going to get together. Our life is perfect." I said looking out the window. "I know. They were made for each other." She agreed. There wasn't anyway our life could get worse.
MIDNIGHTGABRIELLA'S POV
I continued to watch the window in my room flicker with light ever time the thunder cracked. I couldn't stand it. Thunderstorms weren't my favorite things. I got out my bed and opened the door. The hallway was dark except for the little light coming from Adriana's room. The girl's must've still been up. I kept walking till I reached Troy's room. I argued whether I should go in or not but I decided to go in. I slowly opened the door and heard Troy's soft breathing. He was on the far side of the bed close to the window. I walked closer towards the area where Troy was. "Troy…" I whispered. He turned to the other side of the bed. Since I didn't want to walk back over that far I decided to try something else. I proceeded to poke him in the back.
"What?" He mumbled half asleep. "I'm scared." I whispered. He must've been fully awake because he turned back around and looked at me with his blue eyes. "What do you want me to do?" He complained. No, he was still half asleep. "Can you hold me?" I asked. He let out a sigh and nodded. I climbed into the bed and pulled the covers over me. "Thank you." I said as I dug deeper into the covers. I felt one of his arms go over the arch of my back. I giggled softly. This is how my life was supposed to be.
NEXT MORNING AUDRINA'S POV
"Wake up!" I yelled in Adriana's room. "Listen I have big news about mom and dad." I said. She quickly shot up from her bed. "I'm awake." She said as she turned to face me. "Yesterday night….they slept together." I exclaimed. "How would you know that? I mean that's really personal." Adriana explained. "Well its going to determine whether our parents get back together." I said. She rolled her eyes at me.
Are the twins' lives really perfect? Have they solved all the problems?
This chapter is a little short but I loved it! Finally Troyella shared their first kiss. A short but sweet first kiss. But of course the twins' lives aren't going to stay perfect. Not in my stories. The next chapter is Drama, Drama, and more Drama. I needed a fluff chapter between to drama chapters. Please Review.
