2 years later

Marissa and Troy had split up after a huge fight about something that was left unfixable. While Marissa stayed in New York in another place, Troy had sold the New York condo and moved back to New Mexico. He then bought a house and had started his new life back in a place where he had grown up to. He was now working at one of the restaurants in the town and was getting ready to go study abroad. Right now he was in the middle of packing and was meeting up with Gabi.

"Hey what are you doing?"

"Not much really. You?"

"Not a lot. Want to come over?" she asked him.

"Sure I guess."

He then left his place and then drove 20 minutes to Gabriella's. When he got there a boy about 3 or 4 answered the door.

"Troy!" the little boy said excitedly as he went to hug him.

"Hey there buddy. Where your mom too?" he said getting up.

"downstairs." He said as he sang out to her. Troy then laughed as he went downstairs to her.

Since they all finished school, almost everyone had either gotten married or have split up and had good careers. Kelsi, a music teacher at east high, and Jason, a basketball coach/ restaurant owner, had gotten back together after a few years of being off & on. Taylor, a science teacher at east middle school, and Chad, a gym teacher at east high, had gotten married and had a child about 5 years old named John. Sharpay, who was directing plays in a popular theatre, and zeke, who co-own a restaurant with Jason, had gotten married and had a child about 5years old named Sapphire. Ryan had met a British girl named Chelsy while he was spending a semester abroad in college and were now engaged. Gabriella, a nurse, and Jared, an army soldier, had split up about a couple years ago and had a child named Tristan who adores Troy to death. So far Troy has only seen Tristan and hasn't met any of the other two yet.

"Hey what are you doing?"

"Nothing really. Want anything?"

"Sure."

"You know where everything is too." She said with a laugh.

"Is this how you treat a guest?" he said with a grin.

"No that's how I treat someone who's here a lot." She said as they kiss. Just as they started going at it, Tristan comes to the kitchen.

"Mom can we go to park now?"

"Sure I guess."

"Can troy come too?"

"I don't know. Why don't you ask him?"

He then asked troy to come and accepted. He then picked up Tristan like an airplane and pretended to fly him. He then put him down and told him to get ready to go. About 5 minutes later, they left and came back about an hour later. When they got home, gabs had received a phone call from work to come in tonight for a bit. Troy then offered to take him for the night if she didn't have anyone else.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah sure why not. He's not that bad of a kid."

"Ok." They then got everything ready for the night and then went into the car.

"Ok so I'll be over around 11 tomorrow morning."

"Gabs chill. Everything is going to be okay. Don't worry."

"Ok well have fun." She said as they then left and she went back inside to get ready for work.

please review and tell me what you think. also i have a couple ideas that i would like to incorporate into the story but i'm unsure if i should.

1.) when troy goes away, he gets sent to jail for murder but didnt do it.

2.) jared comes back and wants full custody of tristan.

3.) troy proposes to gabriella before he goes away.
