One week later.

Gabriella and Troy stood outside his house together.

'Look… I don't know about this…' Gabriella said hesitating.

'why?' Troy asked taking her hands in his.

'Are you sure your parents will let me stay with you?' She asked.

'Of course, Gabriella! Don't worry… They're not that arrogant as I am…' Troy said winking wich made Gabriella giggle.

Slowly a slow smile came across Troy's face.

'I love that.' He said.

'What?' She giggled.

'That.' He said smiling again.

'Uhhm… Thanks?' Gabriella said.

'My pleasure. Now, ready to go inside?' He asked bringing his head on her eyes level.

'Hey! You were NOT trying to distract, were you Troy Bolton?' She asked raising an eyebrow.

'Guilty as charged… Is it working?' He asked biting his bottom lip.

'I just really nervous Troy.' Gabriella mumbled looking down.

Troy took a firm but gentle hold of her shoulders and looked down into her glassy brown eyes.

'They will love you, Gabby…' He assured her.

She took a deep breath and nodded. Troy put his hand on the small of her back and gently edged her forward. Gabriella immediately grabbed his hand.

'Mom? Dad?' Troy yelled as he turned the doorknob.

A woman walked in the hallway and looked at the two standing there.

'Troy… And who do we have here?' She asked smiling at Gabriella.

'Mom, this is my frien—my girlfriend.' Troy said smiling from ear to ear.

'Troy has a girlfriend?!' She asked and her mouth dropped.

'Isn't she beautiful? Her name is Gabriella.' Troy said looking down at Gabriella.

'She is very beautiful, nice to meet you. My name is Kirsten.' Kirsten held out her hand.

'I told you she'd love you…' Troy whispered in Gabriella's ear.

'Nice to meet you too Mrs. Bolton.' Gabriella said shaking her hand.

Kirsten pulled her in for a hug.

'Please, call me Kirsten!' She held Gabriella out in front of her and examined her.

'Well, aren't you a refreshing change from the girls Troy usually brings home. No short skirts, no ridiculous amount of make up. I think I'm going to like you.' Kirsten said smiling.

Troy's eyes flashed at Gabriella worriedly.

T: Why in hell did you have to say that, Mom?

'Thank you, Kirsten.' Gabriella just said and heard how Troy sighed in relieve.

'Oh and one more thing mom…' Troy said.

'Yes?' She asked curious.

'Gabriella has some serious problems at home so…' Troy said.

Gabriella was nervous like never before and looked down.

'Oh dear… What happened?' Kirsten asked.

'I… I don't think I can talk about it.' Gabriella mumbled.

'Oh, I understand.' Kirsten said giving a comforting smile.

'So… I was wondering if she could…'

'Stay with us?' Kirsten said.

Gabriella already turned her body towards the door, preparing herself for a rejection.

G: As if people like this would let someone like me stay at their house…

Troy nodded and squeezed Gabriella's hand.

'Of course she can stay!' Kirsten said.

Gabriella looked up in disbelief.

G: Wait… What?

Troy looked down at Gabriella and winked.

'That's a yes, babe. I'm sorry to say I told you so.' Troy whispered.

Next week at school.

Troy and Gabriella walked to school hand in hand. Everyone is inside not expecting to see them together.

Gabriella looked at Troy with pleading eyes.

'I said don't worry Gabriella. I want to show of my girl.' Troy said smiling and lifted their entwined fingers.

Gabriella looked at her fingers and though back at yesterday.

**Flashback**

Gabriella was sitting on Troy's windowsill. Troy came up behind her
and kissed her neck.

'Hey, What's up?' He mumbled against her skin.

'Just thinking.' Gabrielle said as she turned around in his arms.

'About what?' Troy smirked.

'School. The other people. What they're going to say…
Mostly, What you're going to do.' Gabriella said.

'What do you mean?' Troy asked looking really confused.

'Well, you said it yourself. You're a different person when you're around your friends.
I saw that person last week and…'

'Gabby, what will it take from me to convince you that I won't blow you off in front of them?' Troy asked.

'When I see it with my own eyes.' Gabriella said.

'Well, I can't show you that before school… But I have something else…' Troy said smiling.

'What do you mean?' Gabriella asked raising an eyebrow.

Troy dug around in his pockets and pulled out his classring.

'Will this be enough?' Troy asked smiling sheepishly holding it out.

'Troy Bolton is giving me his class ring?' Gabriella asked, mouth dropped.

'If Miss. Montez accepts it…' Troy answered.

Gabriella swallowed hardly and nodded.

G: is this really happening?

Troy smiled and didn't break eye contact as he slowly slipped the ring on her finger.
Gabriella grinned widely and threw her arms around his neck.
Troy immediately pulled her body closer and Gabriella stole a glance at the ring.

Troy's eyes shoot from Gabriella's eyes to her lips and back up. He slowly leaned in
and Gabriella quickly closed the gab between them. She smiled as she felt his lips against hers.
Troy braid his fingers in her hair, securing her face to his.

Gabriella's arms released his neck and started absent-mindedly playing with the ring.

Troy pulled back with a low throaty chuckle. Gabriella admired the ring and
let it twirl around and around her finger.

'I thought it might do the trick.' Troy smiled.

'Oh! So you just gave it to me to prove a point?!' Gabriella asked playing shocked.

'No, I wanted to give it to you. I wanted you to wear it. I wanted everybody to know that the most beautiful girl in the school is mine.' Troy said kissing her finger with the ring.

'You're full of crap, Bolton.' Gabriella scoffed.

'you like it.' Troy said.

'I'm not going to lie anymore. Yes, I like it. I like everything about you. You have no idea how hard it was to sit by and pretend I didn't love you…' Gabriella said looking down.

'Well, that's over now. And for the record, Gabby, I like everything about you too.' Troy said.

'There's nothing really to like.' Gabriella mumbled.

'You're full of crap, Montez. You're perfect.' He said kissing her nose.

** End of flashback**

'Okay then… Let's go.' Gabriella said.

Troy wrapped his arm around her securely. They walked into school together and all eyes shot across the hall, burning right through them.

'WHAT THE HELL…' Tia said clenching her fists.

Troy squeezed Gabriella's hip and tightened his arms around her. He kissed her ear, trying to make her feel more comfortable.

'What the fuck are you doing, Bolton?!' Brandon yelled.

'Something I should've done a long time ago. This…' Troy held up Gabriella's hand with his ring. 'Everyone, I would like you all to meet my girlfriend, Gabriella Montez.' Troy said to everybody in the hallway.

Gasps were heard, and soon they turned in harsh whispers.

'Let's go, babe.' Troy said and lead her through the crowd.

A few days later, The day of the dance with Gabriella and Kirsten.

'You're going to look so beautiful in this dress Gabriella.' Kirsten said.

'I can't hank you enough, Kirsten.' Gabriella hugged her.

'Oh, don't mention it, Gabriella! I've always wanted a daughter.' Kirsten laughed.

'I see where Troy got it from… He never lets me thank him…' Gabriella giggled.

'I've taught him well. Now, sit down, missy! Let's get to work! Troy's going to die and go to heaven when he sees you…' Kirsten said.

'I don't know about that.' Gabriella blushed.

An hour later.

'Can I come in yet?' Troy whined outside the door.

'Not yet!' Kirsten yelled.

'Mom! I never agreed to letting you hold my girlfriend hostage!' Troy said talking to the door.

'TADA!!' Kirsten said opening the door.

Troy's mouth dropped. Who the hell was standing in front of him? A Supermodel? This wasn't Gabriella.

'It's not much…' Gabriella said blushing.

T: Yes, it is…

Troy couldn't even speak. Not only was this the girl he loved, but also under all those baggy clothes and covering hair an incredibly hot girl with a rocking body. Curves in the right place, just like how Troy liked it. Why did she feel the need to change her body? She was more then perfect, she was amazing, beautiful, sexy.

There, right in front of him stood Gabby wearing a short glittering gold dress that perfectly complimented her exotic dark skin. Her dark hair was fresh curled and cascading down her bare back. Her beautiful face was even more beautiful then ever. His mother had done it perfectly. Not too enough make-up but just enough for Gabriella's natural beauty to shine through.

He couldn't keep his eyes off of her. He stepped forward, placing his hand on the curve of his back. Gabriella shivered at his touch and Troy lead her out still speechless.

'Ahem?!' Kirsten said.

'You made her even more beautiful then she already is, Mom. Thank you.' Troy said with a huge grin on his face.

'Have fun, you two.' Kirsten said smiling.

'We will.' Troy said looking back at his breathtaking girlfriend.

At the dance.

Troy and Gabriella stand outside the function hall doors.

'Are you ready?' Troy asked grinning.

Gabriella took a deep breath in response.

'Please, in advance, forgive me for acting jealous tonight.' Troy said holding her hand.

'What are you talking about?' Gabriella asked.

'The way you look tonight. A lot of male eyes are going to be on you.' Troy said.

'As if Troy. It's still me. The quiet, dorky nobody. Nothing's changed.' Gabriella smiled.

'Not in their eyes. Trust me, you're no longer that nobody.' Troy said.

'But I only have eyes for you…' Gabriella said blushing, squeezing his hand.

'Haha, very funny. Come up with your own line next time, Montez. You're such a cheese.' Troy laughed.

Gabriella looked at him and had to laugh because of his cute face.

'Here goes nothing.' Troy said opening the doors.

The music,

The crowd,

The dancing,

Stops.

'Who is THAT?!' Brandon said.

'I have no idea, but I'd tap that any day!' Harry said joking.

'Looks like Bolton beat you to it.' Tyson said.

'That can't be-.' Victoria said.

'No freaking way.' Sienna said.

'WHAT… HAPPENED…. TO HER….?!' Tia said through her teeth.

Gabriella looked up at Troy and smiled widely.

'You're the star tonight, Gabby.' He said brushing his fingertips along her jaw.

Gabriella blushed at him and looked at the crowd.

'Does the supermodel want to dance with me?' He asked touching her flushed cheek.

'Of course.' Gabriella said blushing even harder.

Troy swiftly pulled her onto the dance floor and wrapped both his arms around her. Gabriella smiled and locked her arms around his neck. Troy pulled her closer, crushing her against his body, stroking her back.

'I'm sorry. I can't keep my hands off of you.' Troy confessed.

'That's fine with me.' Gabriella said stroking the back of his neck.

'What a slut.' Tia said standing in the corner.

'You know, I'm done with you. You're pathetic.' Sienna said walking of.

Four Hours Later.

'You ready to go, Baby?' Troy asked.

'Hmmm…' Gabriella said almost falling asleep against his chest.

'Come on.' Troy chuckled.

He wrapped his arms around her waist and supported all of her weight.

'Let's get out of here.' Troy said.

'I love you Troy.' Gabriella whispered, humming softly.

'I love you too, Gabby.' Troy said.

Tia watched Gabriella and Troy.

Tia: I love you Troy Bolton. I will never stop loving you.

Harry watched Troy and Gabriella walk off.

Harry: You'll be mine one day, Gabriella.

Victoria saw them leave too.

Victoria: Welcome to the inner circle, Gabriella.

Tyson who stood next to Victoria saw this.

Tyson: And the new queen is crowned.

Troy and Gabriella make it to the outside of the building when Gabriella slumped into Troy's body. She fell asleep.

'I'm guessing you're not quite the party animal…' Troy chuckled.

He bend down and picked her up bridal style.

'I don't mind, as long as I have you..' Troy said softly.

Troy walked to the car and put her in the seat.

'I'm scared of not… Being with you, Troy.' Gabriella mumbled still asleep.

Troy looked at her shocked. He bend down and kissed her forehead.

'You don't have to worry about that anymore. It's just you and me now.' Troy whispered against her skin.

Gabriella's eyes fluttered open and she pulled his neck down. Troy gently kissed her.

'Thank you, Troy. For everything. You saved me.' Gabriella said.

'I think you'd do the same for me.' Troy said.

Gabriella blinked to stay awake.

Troy chuckled at her blinking stupidly to stay awake. He brushed his hand over her eyelids, her jaw, her cheeks.

'Sleep, my love.' He said kissing her forehead.

This was The last episode Of Broken. There is a sequel but I'm really not sure if I should make it. Depends on your comments. Xx
