Sorry for the somewhat late update. I forgot about the cliffy I had in this story. I had to finish up a few stories. And this one is, sadly coming to an end. And I apologize, but I'd like to thank you ALL for taking the time to read this unbearably long story, and reviewing. Maybe one day, I can get more. But 358 is still amazing. Hey, maybe this'll be the last chapter. …Egh It'll be a shitty ending, but hey…I really need to end this story guys. I have some bad reps on fanfic.

Chapter 42-Last Chapter…

Nobody's P.O.V:

Troy ran after Gabriella, losing her in the crowd. "GABI!"" he called loudly, and people stared at him, confused.

"GABI?" he yelled once again, and then began to panic. Where had she gone? He ran swiftly through the crowd and outside of the house and saw Jen's car speeding away.

"GABI!" he yelled as loudly as his voice could let him, his voice now strained.

He watched as the car drove out of the gated driveway and he sighed, looking down at his feet. It's not what it looks like… Troy thought to himself and then went back inside to the house to enjoy the rest of the engagement party…

With Gabriella and Jen at UCLA…

Gabriella hadn't said a word all the way home, and it was now midnight. She just wasn't budging. She just curled up in her bed, wrapping her arms around her legs and just slowly let tears roll down her cheeks, one by one. "Gabs…listen, don't let Troy get to you. We all know he's an idiot. He's a jerk. He doesn't deserve your tears. He doesn't even deserve to know someone as amazing you." Jen said softly and then sat down next to her and hugged her gently.

Gabriella stared at the floor still, tears still flowing down her cheek. "Really Gabi, no man is worth your tears. And if he is, he wouldn't make you cry." Jen said rubbing her back, trying to comfort her friend.

Gabriella finally looked up at her friend with bloodshot, teary eyes and then looked back down at the floor. "I'll be right back…" Jen said slowly and then crept out of the room, because it had felt like it was so quiet she didn't want to cause any racket.

She grabbed her jacket and then put her on her fuzzy slippers and then walked to the boy's dorm house. She sighed loudly, and then just shook her head. "Why is Troy such a problem?" she said loudly to herself, as she opened the door to the boy's dorm house and then found their room and banged on it loudly.

She heard a familiar groan and she rolled her eyes. The door opened and there was her brother with messy bed hair and glaring at her, with sleep in his eyes. "What?" he moaned, too tired to yell at his sister who had just woke her up.

"Okay, don't you dare go saying 'its midnight' because yes, I do know that. I've been up since now, thanks to your buddy Troy." She said pushing her brother into the room with one finger and closing the door.

Grant had never seen his sister like this. "Ugh. What now?" he said, rubbing his eyes, trying to wake up, as he glared at his friend who was sound asleep right across from his bed.

"Hold on a sec." Jen said coolly and then filled a glass of water with cold water and poured it on Troy.

"AHH! WHAT?" Troy yelled loudly jumping up from his bed, then glaring at Jen who had one hand on her hip and raising an eyebrow.

"Good. Now we're all up." Jen smiled evilly and Troy glared at her.

"What do you want?" he said groaning just as Grant had done. "I'm not in the mood." He said then getting back into his bed after placing a towel on his bed.

Jen turned on the light and he put the covers over his head. "Do you want another bath?" Jen said coldly and Troy just groaned again and then took off his covers quickly and then got up and turned.

"What? I told you, I'm not in the mood. It's midnight and I'm tired. Go back to sleep." Troy said staring at Jen.

"You're tired? I've been up trying to comfort Gabriella! Thanks to you!" Jen screamed, "Now, go apologize, and then after that, don't you dare ever speak to her again!" she said going completely ballistic.

Troy looked confused for a moment and then realized what was going on. "Oh that." He said smiling and chuckling.

"What? You think this is funny? You know Troy, I thought you were a pretty cool guy. But turns out you're a completely selfish, cold hearted, jerk who doesn't deserve the love of a girl like Gabriella!" Jenny said about to smack him and Grant held her back.

"Woah, now calm down. What's going on?" Grant said holding his sister in a head lock.

"Let go of me!" Jen screamed and then there was another bang on the door.

"Great, now it's a party. Thanks Jen." Troy rolled his eyes and went to the door.

"What the hell is going on in here? Zeke, Jason, and I can hear it next door!" Chad yelled and Troy laughed, because Chad hated when his slumber was interrupted.

"And he woke me up." Taylor said furiously and then Troy just laughed harder.

"This isn't funny! What the heck dude?" Jason said tired and then Troy looked at Jen and Jen was just about ready to tackle him to the ground and give him a piece of her mind.

"Okay, great, so we're all here." Troy smiled, "Now, Jen, before we explain-"

"No, no, no. We're not all here. Where's Gabi?" Sharpay said, as she yawned and then went to go lean against Zeke.

Everyone looked at Jenny and then Jenny sighed sadly, "She's in our dorm." Jen said, trying to explain it with the least of details she could possibly think of.

"So, she's in your dorm, while we're ALL up?" Taylor said about to pop some heads off some necks.

"She's crying." Jen said in one simple sentence and everyone glared at Troy.

"Woah, woah, woah. Don't go attack me now. Nobody knows what's going on except me and Jen." Troy said.

"Jen and I." Taylor correct and rolled her eyes.

"Seriously Tay? It's midnight and you're still correcting people?" Grant laughed as he finally let go of Jenny.

"It a grammatical fail." Taylor laughed, "So anyway, what happened?" Taylor said as everyone went into the boy's dorm and sat down either on the floor or on a bed.

"Well apparently Troy's engaged." Jen said glaring at Troy.

"WHAT?" everyone yelled in unison and Troy cracked up.

"Yeah, and he didn't have the nerve to tell anyone but Grant." Jen said and then Troy just laughed and laughed.

"Troy! This is not a laughing matter! You're engaged? I thought you loved Gabi!" Grant yelled and then Troy still laughing like a blubbering idiot.

"Oh, don't go 'I have no idea what's going on' Grant Xavier Davis!" Jen glared.

"I don't. Really." Grant said raising his hands as if he 'gived' and surrendered.

"Well the Troy, what do you have to say for yourself?" Troy responded by laughing harder, sounding like a hyena.

"Troy, seriously." Sharpay slapped Troy and he finally quit laughing and then glared at Sharpay.

"Ow Shar." He said rubbing the newly found red spot on his cheek and then glared at Sharpay once again.

"Now that you've finally shut your mouth and stopped laughing, what did you do?" she said raising an eyebrow.

"Guys, I'm not getting married." He said stifling his laughter and Grant finally understood what was going on.

"Oh! Jen, you didn't think that invitation was to Troy's engagement party did you?" Grant trying to also stifle his own laughter.

"It said on the card "You're invited to Roxi's and TROY'S engagement party!" she said put emphasis on Troy's name.

"Jen…my friend, Roxi, she's getting engaged to a guy named Troy. Not this Troy." Grant explained and Jen looked at him confused.

"Really Jen. I'm not lying. Look, no engagement ring." Troy said holding up his right hand.

"It's your left hand idiot." Taylor rolled her eyes and Troy then put his left up and then showed her right in the face.

"So? That doesn't mean you couldn't have taken it off." Jen huffed and Troy just groaned.

"You don't trust me? I swear I'm not getting engaged! I love Gabriella!" Troy yelled infuriated that Jen didn't believe him.

"You do?" Troy looked up once he heard that small familiar voice he had grown to love.

Everyone stared at the doorway, and Gabriella was yawning, in a robe, very tiredly.

Troy got up and smiled, "I really do." Troy said then hugging her tightly.

"Wait, Gabriella, how long have you been standing there?" Chad said utterly confused.

"A while. I came down to see what was taking Jen so long so the only place I could think that she could be, was…well…here." Gabriella explained as Troy still hugged her tightly.

"And you believe me?" Troy asked her softly looking down, pressing his forehead against hers.

Gabriella gave a crooked smile, "I do. Well, that and Roxi called me up and explained everything." Gabriella laughed and Jen huffed and then sat down on her brother.

"HEY!" Grant yelled and Sharpay groaned.

"Yay! The happy couple made up. Woohoo, now can we all go back to bed? If I don't get my beauty sleep, there will be head's missing when you guys wake up." Sharpay said and everyone laughed.

"So, Gabi, is it true?" Troy raised his eyebrow, "Do you still love me?"

Gabriella sighed, "Yeah…it's true." Troy smiled widely, and then hugged her once again.

"Well, I have never stopped loving you. And I'm a total, complete jerk-face for hurting you. I don't know why it's taken me this long for me to realize how much I need you." Troy said leaning into kiss Gabriella.

"UGH! Gag me!" Sharpay rolled her eyes and then walked out of the room and everyone rolled their eyes. It was Shar, and she wasn't exactly a morning person…

"Now, where were we?" Troy laughed as he looked back down at Gabriella and Gabriella smiled.

"I think I remember." Gabriella stood on her tippy-toes and then kissed him passionately.

"Awww." Jen and Taylor said in unison and the guys groaned.

"Okay, we've all made up. Now bed time." Grant said and then everyone finally said goodnight and everyone went to bed. That is, except for Gabriella and Troy.

Troy took her hand and they went to Gabriella's tree. "So…" Troy said getting ready to set down a blanket for the two of them.

"So Wildcat. What shall we do now?" Gabriella laughed and Troy smiled.

"Oooh, here's an idea. How about we just recap our "glorious" days as kids together." Gabriella giggled and Troy shook his head.

"Sure, why not." He said.

"Okay, what were YOU thinking when you first met me…?" Gabriella said recapping the day.

"That you were…well different. You had confidence and for being like 2 years younger than I was, you were pretty…" Troy admitted as Gabriella leaned on Troy's chest, in between his legs.

"Mmm." Gabriella said, yawning.

"Okay, then what were all the teasing and hurting me events then?" Gabriella sighed, slowly drifting to asleep.

"Hey, you know how when people say, when people tease, they like you?" Troy asked softly in her ear.

"Yeah…" she said in a airy breath.

"Well, in that case….it was true. I didn't want to show to anybody that I liked you. You were…well you were young." Troy laughed, "And it wouldn't be right, and teasing you just made it all the better. You looked hot when you were mad." Troy laughed, "But, I never really wanted to go out with you…until that summer. When I saw you, I was just…wow." He said in awe, remembering the day.

Gabriella giggled, "Well, those were about the worst years of my life." She laughed, "But, I guess it was all worth it in the end."

"I think it was." Troy said, beginning to roll over and start tickling her in the stomach.

"Tr-T-Troy!" she said, not being able to hold in her laughter.

"Tell me I'm the hottest most amazing guy in the world!" Troy said, "And I'm the best boyfriend you have ever had!" he said.

"N-Never!" she said still laughing and Troy just tickled harder.

"Say it!" he said tickling faster.

"NO!" she screamed still laughing harder than she ever had before.

"Say it, now!" he said laughing at Gabriella rolling around trying to make him stop.

"Fine!" she laughed, "Fine! I give. Just stop tickling me, so I can say it." She laughed as she gave up.

Troy stopped tickling her and immediately she ran off and Troy just smiled and shook her head. "HA!" she screamed and began to climb up the tree.

"Oh, now you're gonna get it!" Troy laughed as he followed her up the humungous tree.

Troy caught up with her at the top of the tree and she was staring up at the night sky. "It's beautiful isn't it?" Troy laughed as he gripped a branch and whispered behind her ear.

"Yeah…" Gabriella sighed and then Troy rolled his eyes.

"Okay, now c'mon. " Troy said as he hopped down the branches and went down back to the blanket.

Gabriella finally joined him. "Okay Troy. You're the hottest most amazing guy in the world, and you're the best boyfriend I've ever had." Gabriella sighed rolling her eyes.

"And I'm the best kisser." Troy laughed.

"Now you're just pushing it." Gabriella laughed and Troy kissed her passionately.

"Oh really?" Troy laughed and then Gabriella just rolled her eyes, probably for the millionth time and then laid down in Troy's lap.

"Really, really." Gabriella said, and then yawned.

"I love the moon." Gabriella sighed and Troy smiled.

"Let's make a deal. How about…every single time you look at the moon, you'll know that I'm thinking about you. You'll know that we belong to eachother." Troy said kissing Gabriella head and stroking her hair.

"I like it…" Gabriella said drifting off to a peaceful slumber.
