He quickly punch one of the guys who was about to rape her. He knew her eyes were getting blurry in the sight that her eyes narrowing. He pushed the men away after making fights with them with his skill in defensive arts like he was still in his previous job as a bodyguard to Gabriella. He knew he promised her that that he'll love her and protects her no matter what.
He looked down at Gabriella whose eyes were now closed. He buttoned her coat and carried her out the place. She's unconscious but her pulse is normal. He gets her into the passenger seat and he sat on the driver's seat making his way out of that place. Since he doesn't know where Gabriella leaves, he should take her in safety. He decided to bring her in his hotel room.
No other thing came inside his mind, except for the fact that he found Gabriella. Gabriella looked a lot the same; well, maybe her hair is shortened but her height and her face hadn't changed a bit. She's still the same. She got more matured. He didn't expect that to happen. That he will find her in somewhere and sometime unexpected. He had lots of things to tell her, actually. Firstly, the thing why he broke up with her. Do you wanna know now?
Flashbacks...
He stood in the late President's office. He's hands in his pocket and yet, he's really nervous. What could possibly his done to make this President seem to get angry? Well, a thing popped in his mind. Maybe, the president just got news that he and Gabriella had the relationship that was prohibited and forbidden. The President threw a thick newspaper in his desk with the main headlines in the front. "...First Daughter and her bodyguard, Troy Bolton, is in a forbidden relationship. Spotted at the famous country club and park, Lava Springs. What's more?" Is that right? The paparazzi had just found them?
"I can explain, Mr. President-" Troy started but Greg Montez stood up in anger, interrupting him. Troy was firmly standing in front of the desk but inside he's dying. "No need to explain. The details are completed. You betrayed me... you broke my orders." Greg yelled at Troy. Troy was taking it right. The President was right but can he forget about the feelings he's feeling for the First Daughter?
"I love your daughter-" Troy started again but yet, another interruption. "No thing is such love." Greg Montez said, firmly.
"But I do-" Troy said but again, another painful interruption.
"You will leave my daughter alone or I'll kill her." Greg said. This threatened Troy. He's going to kill his own daughter? How could he? Doesn't he have the nerve for it? Those questions are pacing back and forth in his mind. "You're going to kill Gabriella?" Troy asked, his eyes narrowing.
"I can, in front of you." Greg Montez said again.
"How- I mean, she's your daughter." Troy said in confusion.
"No, she isn't. Her mother was a slut to have her child into another man since I'm sterile." Greg said. Did Troy hear it right? The President Montez is sterile? And he just called his dead wife a 'slut'. How could he?
But don't think about that Troy for now... Maybe some other time. Think! If I don't leave her alone, my child and her will be in so much trouble and I won't be able to save them both. God, leave her now! Troy thought it in his head. He's crazy! This situation is driving him dreadfully crazy. "Did you make your choices?" Greg Montez said.
"Yes," Troy said calmly.
End of flashbacks...
He looked around his room. He found Gabriella peacefully sleeping in his bed. Troy was a little tired now and needed a little sleep so if she woke up the next morning, he can explain her everything. It was already 1:00 in the early morning. He had spent too much hours talking to his clients and his secretary and evidently, to Chad. He lied on the couch and doze off.
2:15 in the early morning...
She slowly opened her eyes, admiring the place she's at. The colorful painted walls and furniture around the room and evidently, Troy Bolton. Wha-Wha-What? Wait, did she just saw Troy Bolton? Is that right? She's in Troy Bolton's hotel room? She looked at herself and she's still dressed as she was when she left the bar. But, how did he found her? How?
She panicked. She needed to get home when she realized it was already two in the morning. Maybe Nana Rose is getting worried about her now. Maybe she should call the old woman now. She looked around for her purse and she found it but, it was beside Troy's head. She walked quietly, trying to avoid noises so he won't wake up. She grabbed her purse and fished her phone out of it. 14 miss calls and 18 messages. She pressed buttons and found that it was from Alex and from the old woman.
God, they're getting worried about her. She dialed numbers and turned her back to Troy. She put her phone near her ear and waited it to be answered.
Unknown to her, she unintentionally awoke Troy from his sleep. He still lied on the couch and closed his eyes. Then, he heard whispered in the thin air, coming from Gabriella. The call was answered. "Hello?" she whispered, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I just got stuck up a bit... Yeah, I'm really fine. Don't worry about me. Yeah, so are the kids asleep?" Gabriella said over the phone. She had a family? Troy thought in his head after he heard all of it. "Still waiting for me? Yeah, I know. I saw Alex at the bar and I refused to take his offer for a ride. Then... well, it's a long story. Maybe when I got home now." Gabriella added, "Okay, tell Maggie and Emi, I love them. And thanks for taking care of them Nana Rose. I really appreciated it." Gabriella said.
She's a single mother? Troy asked again mentally, his eyes still closed.
Gabriella puts the phone and turned to see Troy now sitting in the couch. She faintly screamed and steps backwards. "You have kids?" Troy asked his arms flipped in his chest. Gabriella sighed heavily and nodded her head. "How much did you heard?" Gabriella asked, sarcastically.
"Um, all of it." Troy said, grinning at her. Gabriella scoffed at his unchanged attitudes. He's still arrogant. "How did I got here?" Gabriella asked.
"Easy, I carried you inside here." He said cockily.
"Don't play on me, dumb. You know that we still aren't okay that you left me alone and let me get kidnapped." Gabriella spat at him. Troy stood in front of her and said, "I didn't know you were kidnapped until I came back here in America and they told me your dead and I don't believe it." Troy explained. Tear started to fall in her cheeks and she wiped it all away. She doesn't believe it. Why would she believe him? He's a big goddamn liar and he's explanation is a big fat lie.
"Why would I believe you? You're just a big fat liar!" Gabriella said but was cut off with his reassuring lips on her soft ones. God, he's kiss didn't changed a bit. It was still sweet and caring. In his surprise, she kissed him back but... soon she push him and he earned a painful slap. She looked at his reddish cheeks as he touches it. "Goddammit, Troy! I fucking hate you so much!" she screamed and stormed off.
She walked near the door and then, it opened. She don't care who opened it because all she wanted is go home and stay away from this Troy Bolton. She stumped her feet out of the hotel room. She bumped into that person who opened and noticed his hair. It was like Chad or is that really Chad? She doesn't care at all. She's not yet ready to meet her friends again.
While, Troy watch Chad look back with a face. "Who is that hot chick from your room?" Chad asked, pointing the lady who just walked away. Chad was grinning while he walked near Troy. "That was... Gabriella." Troy said and Chad widened his eyes as he heard it. It was unbelievable. Gabriella wasn't mature as that from the last time he saw her. She looked... completely different. A lot different from the real Gabriella. "Are you freaking sure that is my sister?" Chad asked, looking clearly at Troy. (Chad treats Gabriella as a sister to him.) "Yes, I am. She slapped me after I kissed her." Troy admitted.
Chad broke out into laughter. Troy looked at him super confused and asked, "What the hell are you laughing at? The slap really hurts." Troy complained as Chad continued laughing. Chad can't control it and he just continued. Finally, he stopped looked at Troy, "Why don't you follow her? I mean, you can't let her go home at this late. It's dangerous." Chad said and Troy realized it.
"Yeah, man... why didn't I think of that?" Troy asked and grabbed his keys from the coffee table. He quickly left his room and to run after Gabriella.
She walking through the hallway, crying her eyes out. She doesn't know why but memories paces back and forth in her mind. She can remember all of him. His kisses, his hugs, and even his touch. She missed all of it. She can remember all of it. She still love him. She's STILL in love with him!
Suddenly, she felt a hand pull hers and she turned around to see Troy breathing heavily. "Why did you follow me?" Gabriella asked crying. He noticed her red eyes of hurt so he looked at her face, examining it clearly. "Don't look at me like that. I'm not sick. You just made me cry." Gabriella swept off his hands from her face and wiped her tears with her hands. She sniffled a couple of time and looked at Troy. "I'm sorry... I shouldn't have kissed you." Troy apologized.
"Why are you here?" Gabriella asked, obviously changing the subject. Troy sighed and looked back at her. "I'm gonna take you to your house. I can't just let you stroll in the streets at this late hour. It's too much dangerous." Troy said.
She smiled and shook her head in disbelief. "You still don't change." She said, smiling, "Are you trying to get close to me or just assuring that I'm okay?" Gabriella asked, her brows furrowing.
"Um... I don't know." Troy said. Gabriella let out a little giggle and nodded her head. She extended her arms and began to brush his hair. "I'm just sorry for slapping you." Gabriella said, brushing the soft brown hair, "It's just... we're over. Nothing is coming back for us." Gabriella added.
"I know but... I still hope that there is another chance for us." Troy said, nodding his head.
"So, are you still gonna take me home?" Gabriella changed the subject.
"Yeah... yeah, of course." Troy said and together they walked in the bright and narrow corridor.
