Okay guys...well the 2nd to the last one for those who want to leave it at a happy ending. OR the never ending series, for those who want me to go on FOREVER! Lol...anyways...here's chapter 53...(BEWARE: THIS IS GOING TO BE A VERY, VERY, VERY SHORT CHAPTER!!)

Chapter 53

Gabriella was completely heartbroke...even after 3 weeks. Troy and Gabriella still hadn't made any contact with eachother and still haven't talked. Gabriella was too afraid of Troy hurting her again and Troy had apoligize so many times. Neither were dating anyone. They both still loved eachother. "Gabi, c'mon give Troy a 2nd chance?" Chad said.

"CHAD! I gave Troy a billion chances to make up what he's done to me...I think it's time to just...drop it here!" Gabriela said.

"It's just...Troy loves you Gabs...he truly sorry..." Chad said with a sincere smile.

"I know...it's just..." Gabriella didn't finish her sentence. She couldn't. She still loved him, but was too afraid of getting hurt again. Troy was her perfect match...

The Next Day...

Gabriella got ready for school as per-usual, and walked to school by herself...Troy was doing the same. "Hey GABI!" Gabriella heard from a distance. Gabriella turned around and saw Troy running towards her.

"What does he want now?" Gabriella said to herself.

"Gabs, I'm really sorry...please forgive me..." Troy said looking at her with his ice-cold blue eyes.

"Troy..." Gabriella sighed.

"I know, I've said sorry a billion times, but I need you...and I know you need me! PLEASE!" Troy begged.

Gabriella looked at him and gave him a small smile and walked off to school.

"Hey Gabi...I was wondering...if you were going to the Talent Show on Friday? You know about 2 days from today?" Kelsi asked.

"Uh...sure? Why not...I have nothing else to do..." Gabriella said thinking about the talent show. Then got a million flash-backs filling her head, with all those times she and Troy were practicing for the talent show...

"I miss you..." Gabriella said to yourself...

"Cool, so, I'll see you after school right?" Kelsi asked.

"Yeah.."

"Okay...cool, I'll save you a seat." Kelsi said and walked off.

"Yeah...cool." Gabriella said.

The Bell Rang...

Gabriella walked to her locker...and noticed there was an envelope taped onto the locker door. Gabreilla opened it. On the outside of the envelope it read: For...My Bella

Gabriella smiled at the thought of Troy. She opened up the envelope and there was a beautiful locket and a bracelet and of course...a ring. She picked out the bracelet and it had a silver rectangle on it that read: xxxTG Foreverxxx

Gabriella smiled, and tear rolled down her cheek. She picked up the locket. On the outside it said: I Love You...

She opened it up and there was a picture of her and him together. She smiled...and on the other side, the engraving read: ...Forever and Ever...

"I love you Troy Alexander Bolton.." Gabriella mumbled.

There was also a letter...it said:

Gabs...my beautiful Gabriella...I'm truly sorry for hurting you...I wish I could tell you what happened...and here it is...Machelle kissed me, trying to get me back, and I pushed her off...I'm truly sorry...and I wish you could forgive, and I know, that I could give you everytthing in the world, and for you, nothing will be enough...Your way too good for me, and I wish I was good enough for you...and no matter what...I want you to know, that I want you to keep those...It symbolizes how much I care about you, and love you. You can look at those whenever you think about us...well...when it was us...Know, that no matter what...you'll always be in my heart and I love you with all of it...there's nobody out there in this world for me, except for you my Bella...I love you...and I hope you know that! I hope that one day you'll forgive me, but I have no excuse...I knew Machelle was going to do that sooner or later...thanks Gabs...Love you forever and always...

xxxTroy

Gabriella looked at her locker door, she kept one picture of Troy and her...and that was her favorite...She got Taylor to take it...

"Thanks Troy..." Gabriella said, and a tear trickled down her cheek.

"Hey Gabs..." Chad said. Gabriella turned around and he hugged me...

"Need help putting those on?" Chad gave me a crooked smile.

Gabriella nodded. "So, I'm taking you got Troy's note? He said that he was going to leave you alone..." Chad said smiling at Gabriella.

Chad wrapped the locket around Gabriella's neck and put it on, and put on the bracelet. Gabriella put the ring on her right ring finger...

I know, such a bad ending, and this is like one of my most romanic ones...
