A/N: Thank you for the reviews! This story might seem a little fast at the moment, but trust me, it will make more sense.

Troy had his arms wrapped around his fiancé as they cuddled up together on the sofa, watching the notebook, and sipping on wine. Earlier on, Troy had gathered all his tarnished confidence together, and was going to confront Gabriella, but then decided better off it. Chad's plan made much more sense.

"I've missed this," Troy whispered, burying his head in his fiancés neck. She giggled, turning her attention from the screen for a split second, to give Troy a soft kiss on the lips.

"Yeah, me too," She giggled again, turning her head back to the screen. They sat in respective silence until a sharp noise injected the comfortable silence.

Baby come back to me,

In my heart i still believe,

That we were meant to be –

Gabriella fumbled in her pocket for her phone, glancing at the screen before getting up. "I'll be right back," She smiled at Troy, flipping open her phone. "Hello? Oh my god, heya!"

She walked out the room, and Troy waited a moment before following. He stopped outside their bedroom, where he could hear her faint conversation.

What am i doing? Ran through his head over and over. Was he really that paranoid that he was spying on his fiancé? His mom always used to say trust is the number one basis of a happy, healthy, and most importantly, long-standing relationship. Was he trusting Gabriella now?

"You're coming back to New Mexico?"

Gabriella's squeal shook him out of his thoughts, and back to the situation in hand. He pressed his ear closer to the door and listened, hard.

"When?"

The silence let Troy know the other line was talking.

"Oh my god, today?"

The person is in town today? Troy thought.

"Aww, are you bringing you-know-who?"

Troy stiffened at this. You-know-who? What was that? Another person involved perhaps? Gabriella giggled softly from the other side, and continued to speak again.

"What time does your flight come in?"

Flight? Oh, so this guy wasn't from around here then.

"I'll pick you up, then? Then we can.... go somewhere? Catch up?"

Troy narrowed his eyes. Go somewhere and catch up. It didn't take a genius to guess what Gabriella had in mind.

Gabriella laughed again, before dropping her voice slightly. "Oh don't worry, Troy won't know,"

Troy's eyes widened in shock. What the fuck?

"Okay, I'll pick you up around, seven-ish? Now, I've got to go, babe, Troy's watching a film and i don't want him getting suspicious,"

"Too late for that," Troy mumbled under his breath.

"Okay, see you then, bye!"

Troy ran as fast as he could back to the living room, and sat down, trying to wipe the guilty look off his face. So, Gabriella was meeting this guy at the airport, at 7, and would go somewhere to catch up. God, how could he never notice that before?

Gabriella walked back out, and settled back on the sofa with Troy.

"Who was that, babe?" Troy asked her, trying to seem nonchalant.

Gabriella looked up at him. "Oh, just Shar. She, um, wanted me to go shopping with her,"

"When?" Troy pushed.

"Oh, tonight. I said...no, though,"

Troy raised his eyebrows. "Why?"

"I've gotta go see my mom at home. She wants help,"

Troy almost laughed at her obvious lying. "With what?"

Gabriella seemed to struggle a bit for an answer. "Um, stuff,"

Troy nodded. "Okay,"

Seemingly sure that he had to follow Gabriella tonight, he dropped the subject.

Little did he know, tonight he would be finding out more than just the truth.

... ... ... ... ... ...

Chad sat in his house, watching the TV silently.

It was another night of many that he had suffered, alone.

His house was nice, two floors, four bedrooms, two bathrooms. It used to be his grans, but she gave it to his dad when she died, and Marcus Danforth gave it to Chad in turn.

Now Chad owned it, after paying off the mortgage, and turned it into his own.

His bedroom, 2 guest rooms, and a game room, filled with a Nintendo wii, a pool table, and jukebox. Downstairs, he had his living room, kitchen, and Jacuzzi filled basement. It was the ideal bachelor pad.

Despite that, he yearned for someone to share it with. His double-bed seemed awfully cold, just for one. It was nice having his space, but also quite lonely, especially when you had Gabriella and Troy shoving their engagement down his throat.

Or who could forget the marriage of Sharpay and Zeke Baylor? They had been the first to settle down.

Chad flicked through the channels for the second time, finding completely nothing on.

He cursed underneath his breath and turned the TV off. His cell phone rang, and Lil Wayne's Mrs Officer rang through the air momentarily. He picked his cell phone off the table, and put it to his ear.

Chad/ Troy

"Yo?"

"Hey, Chad?"

"Yeah, Troy, my man!"

"Shut up, dude. This is serious,"

"What?"

"I followed your advice on the whole Gabriella thing, and -,"

"Yeah, boy! So?"

"Just listen. She got this call, left the room, and, i followed her, and she's meeting this guy at the airport,"

"When?"

"NOW!"

"I don't think i get you,"

"Dude, she's going to the airport, like, now!"

"Okay, calm down. I'll meet you there,"

"Hmm. Kay. Bye,"

Chad shut his phone, and slipped his Nike Air Jordan's on. Grabbing his keys, he walked out his front door and towards his Lamborghini spider.

... ... ... ... ... ...

Troy and Chad were currently sitting in Starbucks, which was straight across from the terminals gate, and in perfect view of Gabriella.

They were sitting on the outside chairs, both wearing sunglasses, and Chad had his crazy afro of curls tied back. Gabriella was standing just a few feet ahead of them, unaware of the two men that had followed her exact movements since she left the house half an hour beforehand.

"Ah, how long are we going to be here?" Chad whined, causing Troy to snap his head around from his beautiful fiancé.

"Just until we see the guy Gabi's been spending all her time with, and after i snap his jaw in two," Troy said confidently, as Chad chuckled.

"That's my best friend back,"

They continued to stare at Gabriella as she looked ahead at the huge group of people that had started to flood out the terminals gate. She looked up expectantly, even hopeful, and Troy tensed up. Unfortunately, it looked as if Gabi's 'friend' wasn't on that plane, as she still stood alone once the gate cleared out.

"False alarm," Troy said, leaning back in his seat.

"Mhmm," Chad replied, his mouth full of muffin. Troy turned to stare at him in disbelief.

"What?" Chad shouted, indignantly, "If someone hadn't dragged me out of my house before dinner, i wouldn't be eating this crap now, would i?"

"Chad, you said we were in this together, so i thought i should -- ,"

"GABRIELLA!"

The two best friends averted their eyes, as did Gabriella, and caught a girl running towards Gabriella, pushing a pram in front of her. The girl looked familiar; her chocolate coloured skin, and short dark hair that stopped just below her shoulders struck chord's in Troy's head.

She was wearing a short, colourful shift-dress, that went perfect with her skin tone, and her face held black Dior sunglasses. On her feet were white flats.

Troy watched as the two girls embraced. Gabriella had a huge grin on her face, and the other girl had tears running down hers. Troy looked at the pram, and could see a lightly caramel skinned toddler, kicking their legs in the air. Looking harder at the new girl, it all dawned on Troy.

He turned towards Chad, who looked like a deer caught in headlights. "Dude, is that...?"

"Taylor," Chad cut Troy off, taking a deep breath and nodding his head, "Taylor McKessie,"
