Okay, I'm gonna not tell you my excuse and just start writing. Hah, okay!

Chapter 41 (I REALLY need to end this story hahaha….maybe at chapter 50)

I stared at Troy. What was I going to say? Tell him that we were fighting because him? I don't think so.

"Uhm-"

"There you are." Crap. "And you're with him?" Jake rolled his eyes and I glared at him. Troy was about four times the man Jake would ever be…and he never yelled at me like Jake did.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I glared at him, "You were the one FLIRTING with one girl, after we got into a fight-"

"About him!" he gave a deadly glance at Troy, who looked as confused as Jenny did when she was trying to do her calculus homework.

"It wasn't about him. It was about us. You over reacted." I said in a calm voice.

"Gabi, what's this about?" Troy asked softly, grabbing my hand and slowly caressing it in circles. I got goosebumps…just like old times…

"He broke you're heart what, three times, and you still love him." Jake rolled his eyes and I felt completely vulnerable. I felt like I just wanted to run away and never come back. He just told Troy I still loved him…and to be honest…I didn't want to get back together with him.

"You love me?" Troy asked as he let of my hand, and I stared at him, his eyes sparkled like the stars in the night sky and were as blue as the ocean.

"Well…"

"Tell him the truth Gabi. You love him. And you broke my heart, thanks. I guess the jerk rubbed off on you." Jake spat and walked away and I watched as Troy tackled him to the ground and punched him in the face. "That's for me." He said, "And that's…" he punched even harder, "for her." He said as he got off of him and Jake ran off. ...Wow…

He got back up and walked towards me and grabbed my hand and I got up. "So? You still love me?" Troy asked.

"I…I…I…-no I don't love you." I ran off, with tears in my eyes.

"ELLA!" I heard him scream, his voice shaking…I ran even faster, not wanting to look at a broken hearted Troy Bolton. Why did he have to get to me so easily? He's the boy I hate to love…

I continued to run, feeling like no one could catch me as I ran past my friends in the campus. "Gabi?" Grant questioned and I continued to run.

"GABRIELLA!" I heard his voice again and I ran harder and faster than I ever could and sooner or later…it disappeared.

Troy's P.O.V

"TROY!" Grant stopped me in my path to get to Gabriella. Why?

"Grant, stop, get off, I got to get to her!" I yelled in his face, sweaty , and confused.

"Don't. She needs space. Wait, what happened?" Grant said holding me down, trying to me down.

"Jake and her broke up right in front of me and he said she loved me. I have to find out. I love her Grant. I can't let her go this time." I sighed, feeling as if I had been defeated. She was slipping through my fingers and I couldn't hold onto her.

"Go." Grant said, "And I'll help you find her." He smiled at me, "You two belong together. No matter what either of you do or say, I can see it." I smiled at him. And this is why he's my best friend.

"We all can." Jen came out from behind the pillar we were standing near, followed by Chad, Taylor, Ryan, Zeke, Jason…and even Andrew.

I smiled. "Let's split up and find her."

I love cliffhangers. Hahaha, okay, anyway, short and sweet. I finally updated so I want reviews!
