August 30, 2010, 12:30 P.M, Montez household
Maria Montez sat on the couch, staring off into space, completely in shock. She had come home from work after finding out she had lost her husband. There were many thought that ran through her head," How am I going to survive without him," "How will I tell Gabi," "How hard is it going to be for her?" The next thing she knew it was 3:00, and she heard her daughter's voice, "Momma, I'm home. Troy's with me." Quickly, Maria wiped her cheeks removing the tears, and then she looked up to see her daughter and her daughter's best friend walked into the living room. Troy put their bags down, and took his arm his arm off of Gabriella's shoulder. "Hey Maria is everything okay?" Maria looked at the young man that she has known since he was born. "Troy, I need to talk to Gabi, and I'm pretty sure your parents need to talk to you also." Troy looked at Gabriella, who looked frightened, then he nodded and hugged her then hugged Maria. Then as he was passing Gabriella he kissed her cheek, "I'll see you later, Brie," After getting a slight nod from her, he grabbed his backpack and drove home.
Gabriella sat down on the couch with her mom, "What's wrong mom?" "Gabi, I got a call today from Jack. There was a fire at North High, and your dad was inside," she paused to look at her daughter's face, tears were in both of the women's eyes, "sweetheart…..t-the roof c-caved in….your dad didn't get out in time." Maria started sobbing as did Gabriella. They held each other tightly, just needing each other's support.
Later on that night Troy was sitting on his bed after finding out about Gabriella's dad. He had tears in his eyes but he wouldn't let them fall. He was holding his phone in his hand not knowing whether to call or give her space. He heard a knock at his door, and after saying a quiet, "come in," his mom came in slowly. "How are you holding up, love?" Lucille sat down next to her son, "I've been better, ma," Troy laid his head on his mom's shoulder. "It's going to be hard, we've known the Montez family since your father and I were in high school. You've known Gabi since you both were little, but I promise things will get better." "I know, ma, I'm just worried about Brie, ya know?" "Yes I do, love," she smiled knowing her son's feeling for Gabriella were very strong. "Get some sleep, Troy, today has been a long day," she kissed his cheek, and walked out of the room closing the door behind her. Troy changed out of his clothes leaving on his boxers and laid in bed. He grabbed his phone and wrote a quick text, "If you need me I'm here anytime," then he sent it and turned onto his back. After a few minutes, sleep took over his body.
