Chapter 25

Once in a blue moon, you find something you've always wanted. One moment can reassure that. Meeting the love of my life was my blue moon. It was everything I could over ever dream of. I couldn't believe that Troy and I have been together for a year today.

August 17.

The day of my anniversary and my wedding day. You could definitely tell I was freaking nervous by just the way I was standing. I couldn't understand the jitters I was having, but they were a good kind of feeling. I mean isn't this the day every girl hopes for? But then again I wasn't like any other girl I was just plain ole Gabriella Montez. But I was the girl that fell in love with Troy Bolton.

I look back at all the things that happened in our first year of being together and smiled at some of the stupid things me and he did. I mean getting drunk and getting tattoos, which we will have for the rest of our lives. Lying to my dad and Andrea, who I have finally learned to love as a real mom. I even call her mom. Tess doesn't like it very much. She got so fed up with me that she went and lived with her real dad for awhile until school starts back up again.

I don't know if I can accept the fact that my actual mom won't be here today, to see me in my wedding gown, which is so gorgeous and simple. It's sleeveless and long but not one of the dresses that are so poofy, it's elegant and simple. Andrea and Sharpay helped me pick it out. I just died when I saw the price and Andrea smiled at me and said don't worry about it and bought it for me. I hated when she did that. She goes out and buys me things I want but can't afford. It's very nice of her but I just don't deserve it.

I looked in the vanity mirror and started to apply some make-up. I didn't want to wear a whole lot so I just did a tiny bit. A simple, elegant look. I smoothed down my dress and then looked at my hair. I was just going to leave it down and put my bangs back in a medium poof. After I finished I looked in the mirror once more and smiled. I heard a knock on my door and saw Tareney enter.

After she had her surgery she became a lot better. A few weeks after her surgery, she went in remission and we were all happy for her. She was getting better and Matt would be able to have her forever. Matt and Tareney, what can I say about these two? Well my dad knows they are in fact married. He overheard me and Matt talking one night and it was a huge deal. Dad just looked at us and was like, "What's with my kids getting married?" and he walked away. Matt and I laughed. Dad got use to the idea of them married and then soon Matt and Tareney told her parents and they were not so okay with it. Let's just say Tareney now lives with us. I love it that she's there. She such a beautiful and compassionate person. I'm really glad Matt met her.

Then there is Lucas and Lucy. Well let's just say…things got heated and they broke up. On and off again. I mean we all rooted for them to last forever, but things don't turn out the way you want them too. Lucas had told me they fought too much after a while and then they would break up and then get back together. It was constantly. Dad thought it was hilarious. I thought it was just weird and Troy was like whatever. As of right now, Lucy and Lucas are together but only for the wedding and then they might be broken up by the end of this week.

Braden.

My dear, dear, Braden.

My loveable twin.

My only twin.

The person who has it all. He and Emma are over the heels in love with each other. They have already planned their future out. Graduate high school, go to college together, get married, get a 2 story house with four bedrooms, have 3 kids, and the rest is for the world to know. I love Emma. She is the sweetest girl that Braden has ever been with. She always is understanding and always wants to help out an any way she can. She's just so perfect for them. He bought her a promise ring this past month and promised all those things to her. She cried and they were locked up in his room doing some certain things…

Then there's my Dad.

He's so happy with Andrea. I can believe I ever hated her. I was so stupid. Dad is truly in love with her. Andrea told me not to long ago that my dad confessed to her saying I love you but I can never love you like I loved my wife. I asked Andrea how she felt about that and she said "As long as he loves me, I'm happy." I smiled at that thought and stood up and went towards the window and looked down at my backyard.

We were having the reception here, but the wedding at this pretty lake. (AN: Okay so I'm totally going to steal how Lucas and Peyton's wedding was in one tree hill. I loved where their wedding was and I'm going to use some of it for this wedding) It had my favorite flowers all over the place and the alter had this gazebo looking thing with flowers intertwined all in it to make it gorgeous and then white chairs for the people to sit at. The aisle would have this while carpet looking thing so I could walk on it down to the altar. I probably make no sense…but it's gorgeous.

In just a few hours I would be married to Troy Bolton.

I sighed.

Troy.

Ever since he met with his dad, they have met more times and his dad got out of rehab. They try and spend that father/son time together as much as they can, but it's never enough. Troy hasn't spoken to his mom since that day at the rehab place. I was kind of glad he hasn't. He doesn't deserve her in his life.

His heart condition is doing better. He's taking his medicine and enjoying life. He hasn't had an attack yet, but we hope he never has to have one ever again. I love this man too much to let him suffer and I hope and pray he doesn't get taken away from me, because of this stupid HCM. I hated that he has it. What if we have kids and they have it? But then again it might skip a generation, because his grandfather had it, and then Jack came along and he didn't have it but now Troy has it. I guess it skips generations. I just pray and hope that if my kids have kids, that they don't get it. I can only hope.

Other than the heart stuff, Troy's been good. He's happy and having the time of his life. I know we're only seventeen but we're almost 18 and we'll soon know what it feels like to do more mature things.

I was so busy thinking to myself, that I didn't even hear the door open. I felt a hand on my shoulder and it was Braden. I smiled at my twin and he opened his arms out for me.

"How are you doing?" He asked, looking down at me. I stared at him with my brown eyes. I smiled at him.

"I'm nervous as hell," I whispered and he laughed.

"It's your wedding day, of course you're nervous," He spoke. I smiled sheepishly and looked behind him and saw my dad at the door frame with Lucas and Matt behind him. I rolled my eyes and nodded for them to come in. Matt was the last one in and shut the door. Dad came over and took me out of Braden's arms and wrapped me into a deep bone crushing hug. It was tight but my dad and I were having a moment. I smiled into his chest and he smelled of his cologne and that just plain dad smell.

"I can believe you're getting married today," he murmured and I looked up at him. He smiled at me and kissed me forehead.

"I can't believe it either, daddy," I told him and he chuckled.

"Are you nervous?" I heard Lucas ask. I groaned out loud and they all laughed.

"I guess that's a yes," Matt said back.

"Don't be nervous. We're all here for you Gabriella," my father told me and I nodded. "Troy's a good man. He'll take care of you." He said.

"More like she's take care of him," Lucas said.

"You'll take care of each other," Matt spoke and I smiled.

"But you'll still be under my roof. My rules," Dad spoke and the last part was to everyone. I laughed into his chest and smiled. This was what I loved. The Montez family was everything to me. The boys always shouting and wrestling with each other, the fights and the misfits, everything was so original. I will miss that the most, being a Montez. But soon I will be a Bolton. Gabriella Michelle Bolton. Hmmm, I like that sound of that.

AN: I know this is short but hey…This story has three more chapters! Chapter 26 is in Troy's Point of View and then the Chapter 27 is the Wedding and then Chapter 28 is the reception and a big dramatic scene and it's over! Lol. I don't know if I'm going to re-write this one or not…I might. I don't know yet.
