Here's chapter 12. Hope you enjoy, r&r

Gabriella opened her eyes slowly as she woke up. She looked to her side and smiled at Troy.

She tried standing up but found it difficult with his arms tightly wrapped around her. She tried again only to have his grip tighten.

"Troy…" She whispered.

"No." He mumbled, keeping his eyes closed.

"I need to ge—"

"No"

"Please"

""Your not leaving"

She smiled and giggled a little. "Please Troy"

He groaned and unwrapped his arms from her, "Your mean"

She smiled and kissed his cheek. "Thanks." She said before getting up and walked to the bathroom.

Gabriella took a quick shower before coming back out in a towel. She giggled when she saw Troy still sleeping and walked over to him.

"Troy, time to get up." She said as she shook him gently.

"No" He mumbled."

"You need to get ready"

He opened one of his eyes and looked up at her, seeing her just in a towel he smirked. "Am I dreaming?"

She blushed and giggled, "Go take a shower so I can change." She said before walking over to their closet.

"Troy come on!" Gabriella exclaimed as she pulled Troy off of the elevator.

"No, its to early. I need sleep"

"No, its time to ski. You can sleep later."

He groaned and followed her.

"Troy, Gabi over here" Lucille exclaimed waving them over to the group.

"What to you guys so long?" Jack asked.

"Him!" Gabriella said pointing to Troy.

The group just smiled and laughed, knowing Troy wasn't a morning person.

"Well let's get going now that everyone's here" Chad said as they all headed outside.

It was now 100:00 at night and everyone was gathered in Miss Montez's room, After a long day of skiing and goofing off everyone decided on just staying in for the night.

"This is nice." Gina said happily. "Just having the big Wildcat family together, celebrating the holiday's"

Everyone smiled and nodded in agreement.

"What do you guys say? We come back here every year. Start a new wildcat tradition." Jack suggested.

"But what about college?" Gabriella asked sadly.

"What about it? This will be a good way to keep us together." Troy said. The two were snuggled up next to each other on the couch.

"Yea I guess your right." She whispered.

"What are you talking about? I'm always right." He said causing a giggle to escape from Gabriella.

Everybody looked over at Troyella and smiled. They all knew Gabi had admitted to her feelings, but now it was all up to Troy to get them together.

A few hours passed and Jack looked at his watch and smiled. "Merry Christmas Everyone."

They all smiled and told each other Merry Christmas. They stayed in her room for a little while longer before heading out to their own. They all wanted a good night sleep before opening their presents tomorrow.

IN TROYELLA'S ROOM

The two had just gotten dressed and laid down, snuggling up to the other. It was silent, but it was a comfortable silence.

"Thanks for planning this Gabs. It's been really fun." Troy said as Gabriella smiled at him.

"Just wanted one last Christmas with the gang." She said and sighed quietly.

"Well I'm glad I'm here with everyone, especially you." Gabriella smiled and blushed a little as she buried her face in his chest.

After another long comfortable silence Gabriella took her face away from his chest and looked up at him.

"Want to exchange our gifts now?" She asked as she smiled a little.

"Sure." They both got up and got each others gifts out before sitting back down on the bed.

"Here, you first." Troy said as he reached out and handed her a small box.

Gabriella smiled and nodded her head a little, looking down at the little box. She could tell he wrapped it himself with how messy it was. "Did you wrap it?" She said as she giggled.

"Don't make fun of my wrapping, anybody would pay to be as good as me." He quickly defended and smiled.

Gabriella laughed and started tearing the paper off. Once she had it all off she opened the little box and gasped at what she saw. "Troy its beautiful" She said as she admired the diamond necklace he got her. "I can't take this, it must've cost you a fortune." She said trying to give it back to him.

"No, keep it. You deserve it Brie." He said as he smiled and took the necklace out. "I've put you through a lot, now come on and turn around." She smiled and did as she was told so he could put the necklace on her.

Once it was on she turned back around and handed him his present. "It's nothing special, so don't get your hopes up."

Troy smiled and tore the wrapping paper off. "I'm sure I'll love it"

He looked down at the scrapbook he now held in his hands and smiled.

Troy and Gabi

Friends Forever3

He opened the book up and smiled or laughed at the pictures filled with so many memories. He turned the pages and then stopped on the last one. This was his favorite picture of them. It was their first kiss, on the cheek. And when they were only six.

Flashback

A six year old Troy ran out of his car as fast as he could and ran up to the front door, leaving his mom behind. She just watched as she laughed, shaking her head a little at her son.

Troy jumped up and rang the door bell, waiting for someone to open the door. Once his mom walked up to him the door opened to reveal Ms. Montez. "Hi Troy" She said happily.

"Hi. Bye" He said before running in the house and up the stairs already knowing Gabriella was up there.

He quietly opened the door and peeked in. He saw Gabriella laying in her bed, rolling around.

Her mom had just called Lucille a little while before to tell them she was sick, and couldn't make the playdate. Troy insisted on coming over and taking care of her though, he felt that it was his job.

He quietly walked over to her bed and looked at Gabriella, letting out a quiet and warm breathe he crawled on it. He laid down next to her and wrapped his little arm around her.

Gabriella opened his eyes slowly, still having a horrible headache from her fever. "Troy?" She whispered quietly.

"Shh, just sleep. I'm here to take care of you." He whispered before kissing her cheek softly, both oblivious to their moms watching from the door.

Gabriella smiled and scooted closer to him, "I heart chu Troy" She said as she closed her eyes.

Troy smiled and giggled quietly as what she said. The two thought it was so funny for some reason. No body knew why though. "I heart chu too Brie"

End Of Flashback

Troy closed the book slowly and set it down next to him. He looked over at Gabriella and just sat there, smiling softly.

Gabriella furrowed her eyebrows in confusion and let out a quiet breathe. "What?"

Troy just smiled and started to lean in…
