Is anyone else weirded out by this new Fanfiction layout? I am. On with the shout-out(s):

Sweethappylove07: I reply to every review so of course I'd reply to your review. I'm glad you enjoyed the last chapter and with Troy and Gabriella, you never know. Madi will come up again of course but I won't have both of them confront her. However, I don't really like writing any fanfiction at the time so it's hard. I'm not going to leave a story not ended though. That's not fair to you guys.

TroyellaForever25: Thanks for finally reviewing! It really does mean a lot! And it wasn't just Troy who was doing something wrong… or at least, that's how I see it.

Zac is my life: I totally jinxed that whole thing about you being first. Man, I seem to do that a lot! Ha! And ah, I do that too, except on my iPod touch. I was just about to read one of your stories one night actually, but then I got super-duper tired. I'm not a fan of reading fanfictions anymore since I went off to my grandparent's summer and then went to the library and found all sorts of books to read and since then, I wanted to write my own story and come up with my own characters and my own plot and I did. And I guess you are right. Unless you do something stupid and the coach benches you! Ha. I'm definitely the same way, except I go to YouTube more than the others. I'm not a fan of Facebook sometimes. I hate forced writing and I feel like I'm not doing myself justice so eh. All my brothers are older than me and every single one of them, except one, is moved out. I love them all, but sometimes it is a pain. I have a sister, but we aren't very close. I wish I did have a younger sister sometimes. And me too. I was afraid it seemed a bit rush. Thanks for reviewing…and sorry for making you read a lot of that! Ha!

Superblossom128: First of all, your review was one of my favorites! It was beyond sweet! I'm sure there is something that is wrong with my story. Some stupid typo, not a lot enough character development, etc. I too write outside of fanfiction and I actually prefer it. Anyway, I'm actually surprised that you liked the fact that Troy and Gabriella took their time to get back together in a 'while' because I felt like it wasn't long enough, myself. Ha! How odd. I'm not sure if I'll use your idea. I will make sure she has an 'appropriate' reaction though. Nobody is THAT perfect, if you know what I mean! Thank you so much for your very kind review! I hope this chapter isn't short of your expectations!

EllaPayneStyles18: They definitely are! And as I said in this previous reply, nobody is perfect and I think it's understandable. Many people react stupidly to things that happen to them. The re-write obviously is already underway and it's definitely a difficult one but I'll get to the rest of them as soon as I can! I'll need something to do after I finish this story and really attempt to find a new plot for Fanfiction. For all I know, it might not even HSM related! Crazy, right? Anyway, thanks for reviewing, as always!

Jadiee: Glad you liked it so much! I hope this chapter suffices all expectations with Troy and Gabs! Thanks for the review!

TeeLovin: It can be difficult to make someone smile over texting or a computer. Sometimes, it really just takes something that you really wish you had and then seeing that something happen to someone you really care about or admire. Or maybe it's a story with loved characters. Or something somebody said to you. Who knows. That's just my silly opinion. Madi isn't gone quite yet but she'll be to the point where she's very minor. Time will tell for her. Anyway, glad you liked the previous chapter. Thanks for reviewing!

Fishing: I'm glad you liked it so much! Everyone seems to be happy about them getting back together, not that I blame any of you hahaha. Thanks for reviewing!

Pumpkinking5: I agree with you comment. Miscommunication is a big problem in any relationship, not just couples. It's ruined some of my friendships. Bleh. Anyway, thanks for reviewing!

Anon: Hah! We'll see! Thanks for reviewing!

Santeelove: Yes! Finally, right? It's been a little long, I guess. I was planning on holding out longer but you guys seemed to be getting antsy. I'm glad you love this story so much because it means so much! Thanks for reviewing!

MariaTyler: Glad you liked it so much! The couple is indeed finally back together. Ha! Thanks for the review!

So, I'm sorry for making you guys wait a bit for this chapter. I was feeling a little lazy and I didn't want to post something really bad so I waited it out a little bit so I wouldn't write something that I hated. Hopefully, you'll understand!

Chapter 24-A Rainbow of Emotions

"TROY!" I heard the front door slam.

I groaned, rolling over in my bed. I put one of the pillows that were beside me over my head. I wanted to kill the next person who decided that it was a good idea to be obnoxiously loud at only eight o'clock in the morning.

"Troy! I got your text!"

Madi.

I wanted to smack my head against my head board as I got up from my bed. I might as well eavesdrop on the conversation since she woke me up.

I went to go slip on my robe and put my hair up in a messy bun and then headed down toward the kitchen to go get some coffee.

As I walked down, I started to hear their conversation. Unfortunately, they decided to talk in the kitchen. So, instead of getting the coffee I so desperately wanted, I leaned against the wall on the last step that separated the kitchen from where I was.

"Madi, you know I really care about you, right?" I heard Troy say.

"Of course. And I really care about you too," Madi said.

I could practically 'hear' a smile creep onto her face.

"And I really admire that about you," Troy said, "You're very understanding and that's a quality any guy would want."

"Why are you saying all of this?" Madi said, her voice starting to get tense.

"It's just," Troy sighed, "I'm not really sure why."

I gawked. To hell he didn't know why.

"Okay, so maybe I do know why. . ." Troy sighed, "I just don't really know what to say because I'm afraid of how you'll react."

"You should be. . ." I heard Madi mumble.

"I really did care about when we dated," Troy said, "and I realize it might seem like I don't now but—"

Great now he was rambling.

"Just get on with it, Troy!" Madi's voice was louder now.

"I . . . really don't think this relationship should carry on." Troy said, his voice solemn.

"You're breaking up with me?"

My eyes widened, surprised by the tone of her voice. I had always thought that Madi was very well composed but I guess I was wrong. She sounded angry now.

"I just don't think that you and I really fit well together."

"But. . ." Madi said, expecting Troy to say something else.

"But Gabi and I—"

"You're going back to her?" Her voice spat on 'her'.

I frowned.

"I miss her Madi. You knew that. We talked about it and I love that you helped me through it all, but the truth is, I don't think I ever got over her. Gabi and I really had issues, but the beauty of our relationship was the simple fact that we could get through all the bullshit we had. I really—"

"I don't want to hear it. She hurt you. She broke up with you, Troy! Why would you go back to her?"

"Because I never stopped loving her, Madi. We talked about all of this and you knew how I felt. You knew how I felt during our entire relationship and it was like you were in this denial state in your mind where you thought that suddenly all my feelings for Gabriella were going to disappear!"

I looked towards Madi and I started to feel guilty. Her face was filled with emotion, but mostly pain and rejection. I didn't want Troy to tell her like this but I knew that I had no reason to go and butt in when it wasn't my fight to fight.

"I understand, then." Madi's voice was quiet and she stared at the ground.

"Madi—"

"No, Troy, I get it. You don't want me and you never did and that's fine. Do whatever is best for you and whatever makes you happy."

Madi kept her head held high and she turned around, shoulders back.

"Madi—"

"Goodbye, Troy."

She opened the door slowly and then walked out of the house without another word and at that moment, I didn't know what to feel. I was feeling guilty and upset, but at the same time, I was happy because everything in my life had been fixed. Well, maybe not everything, but it was close enough. I was swarmed with emotions and I felt like I was paralyzed.

"You can come out now, Gabs," Troy said.

I sighed and then poked my head from the other side of the wall and gave Troy an innocent smile. Troy rolled his eyes, a smile creeping on his face.

"I wasn't supposed to hear any of that, was I?"

"Well, I was going to tell you anyway, but you should have told me you were going to eavesdrop."

"That wasn't plan originally!" I said in defense.

"Uh-huh, sure," Troy laughed and then went towards the kitchen.

"Don't ignore me, Troy Bolton!" I said, running after him.

I hopped on his back, wrapping my legs around his sides and wrapping my arms around his neck.

"Gabs!" Troy laughed, holding onto my legs, "You need to warn me about stuff like that!"

"Then that wouldn't have been as much fun. . ." I said, pretending to pout.

"This week has just been array of emotions."

"More like," I paused to think, "a rainbow of emotions," I smiled.

"Right."

"A really bad, ugly rainbow," Troy chuckled and then grabbed a banana.

"Well, I don't think it is. There's anger, hatred, depression, and all other those other emotions, sure, but there's really good emotions in there too."

"Oh, really, like what?" Troy said, beginning to peel his banana.

"Happiness, joy, and of course, the most important of all. . ." I said, walking towards Troy, wrapping my arms him, pulling him closer, remembering each flood of emotion that I used to feel when Troy and I held each other.

"And what would that be, Ms. Montez?"

"Love." I said, smiling at him and leaning in for a kiss.

Okay. . . I'm sorry for not having this chapter up earlier but I've been busy with things on FP and stuff and it's been hectic for me to write three stories at a time and it is summer so I'm being lazy. Sorry guys! ):

Next Chapter will be up probably tomorrow and at the latest, next Tuesday.

For those of you wondering about SMWIRATR (See Me Who I Really Am The Rewrite) that is probably going to be on a very short hiatus while I try and fix things with me and stuff.

Sorry guys!

Thanks for all those reviews and all that wonderful feedback!

Be patient with me and I promise this story will come to an end soon!

P.S-I'm sorry if there are mistakes in this chapter. I'm sure there are, but really this story is not my top priority right now because I will be going back to edit all of my stories throughout the years and stuff so this story will be much better probably either next summer or the following or even during the school years. So, sorry if it bothers you.
