Chapter 3

Gabriella was happy...she was content. She loved Austin Bolton. And she was going to marry this man. Gabriella realized how she constantly had to say those sentences over and over in her head just to reassure her feelings. Noone should have to reassure their love for someone that they've been with for over 2 years now.. did they? Gabriella sighed, why was she having these rapid thoughts about her love for her fiance. It just wasn't right. Gabriella grabbed her purse before lifting herself up out of her chair and heading out of her dressing room. She waved out smiling softly to all her co-stars saying her goodbyes for they had just filmed another episode. She quickly got into her white BMW slipping the key in the ignition and speeding off out of the parking lot. She dug her right hand into her purse searching for her cellphone. She pressed the speed dial and it began ringing calling her fiance's phone. She bit her bottom lip waiting impatiently for him to answer. She needed to see him.. maybe seeing him would make all these unwanted doubts and thoughts that were circulating in her head go away.

"You have reach Austin Bolton Cell. I am not able to- -" Gabriella sighed ending the call. She decided that'll she just stop by his office and surprise him like old times, when they first began dating and she had no worries or doubts. A small smirked formed across her lips as she began speeding off to his job.

"Hello?"

"Troy it's Victoria."

He sighed running a hand through his chestnut slick hair "What do you want?"

"Can we talk?" she asked.

"No Victoria! I don't fucking want to you.. Do you not understand that you fucking hurt me?"

"Troysie I'm sorry!" she whined.

Troy laughed out of fustration. "Troysie? Ha! You're fucking pathetic! I want nothing to do with you understand? You lied to me and used me! I actually cared for you! Do me a favor and don't call me ever again!"

"Troy Plea-"

"No Victoria! I'll see you in court." He slammed his phone shut.

Troy threw his cellphone across his room and watched as it hit the wall. He yelled out in anger falling back on the bed. How could she have the nerve to call him and try to make everything okay. Like was she delusional. She used him for his fame and money. Whore much? I think so. Troy needed someone who wanted him not because he was a professional basketball player or because he had a lot of money. Troy needed someone who would want him and love him because of the kindness in his heart. Troy needed someone who was going to always be there for him, be his shoulder to lean on. Troy needed someone who was going to love him endlessly, no matter what flaws he encountered. Troy needed someone who was going to be honest with him, and be able to share their darkest secrets with him and let him confine in them aswell. What Troy needed was true love. That was all he needed and wanted.

Gabriella pressed the elevator button waiting for the door to slide open. She looked up as the numbers decrease reaching the lobby that she was on. She walked in pressing the button number 5. She watched as business men and women entered the elevator looking so sophisticated with their leather brief cases. She waited for the elevator to reach the floor the was longing to be on. The elevator doors open and she walked out. She smiled as she saw Austin's secretary but was bewildered when she saw the blonde females eyes pop out of their sockets.

"Hey Racheal." Gabriella smiled walking past her desk.

"Gabriella! H-he's busy!" Racheal stuttered before calling out.

Gabriella arched an eyebrow. As she watched Racheal pick up the phone and calling Austin whispering something to him. Gabriella followed her instincts and continued walking to his office. She reached the door and went to twist the knob but realized that it was locked. She began knocking on the door like a mad woman, she heard Racheal calling out for her but she simply ignored it. She heard shuffling and then the door opened.

"Well thank you for coming out Miss Rosa I will be sure to schedule another meeting." He smiled at her.

"No thank you Mister Bolton." She smirked at him before turning her eyes towards Gabriella.

Gabriella eyed the brunette, she looked down at her lips that happened to be slightly smeared with red lipstick. This Miss Rosa character was pretty, she had long straight brown colored hair with hazel eyes. Her skin tone was fairly similar to Gabriella's but not exact. Gabriella noticed that her boobs were very big and fake; and her ass was pretty big aswell. Gabriellw watched as the latina walked away and then turned her attention to Austin. She looked at his lips that had red lip stick some what on them. His hair was ruffled and his outfit looked like a hot mess. She felt her chest beginning to hurt. Meaning that her heart was breaking slowly.

"What's going on?" she questioned lowly.

"What do you mean Gabriella?" he asked looking back at her.

"Don't give me that Austin... You have it written all over your appearance! Are you having an affair with that Rosa chick?" she asked in rage.

"Baby it's not what you think she's just a client of mine." he tried soothing her.

"A client of your's that you're fucking!" she exclaimed.

Austin pulled her into the room before shutting his door and locking it. "She wants to be a star Gabriella so I'm going to help her out!"

"How are the hell are you going to help her out Austin? Huh? If she gives you a good lay you're gonna put her name out there ? That's great! If I would of known that then maybe I would of been the biggest fucking super star ever!" She yelled.

"Watch your mouth Gabriella." He sternly said.

"Watch my mouth? NO! You're fucking some whore and I'm suppose to stay shut Austin! This is not what I signed up for!" she yelled loudly.

Austin's eyes were filled with anger, he suddenly grabbed her by her upper arms and slammed her petite body against the wall. "I SAID WATCH YOUR FUCKING MOUTH GABRIELLA!" He spat in her face.

Gabriella's eyes widen at his outrage. She was breathing in and out heavily, her chest rising and falling. "Let go of me..." she said softly.

Austin gripped her arms so tightly she was sure that bruises will form. After moments of her saying those words he let go of her arms turning away from her and sighing. She watched him walk away from her and she rubbed her upper arms wincing from the pain that she was beginning to feel. This was a first. Austin never touched Gabriella this way. He never tried to hurt her in anyway. Gabriella let the tears that was forming in her eyes creep down her cheeks. Austin turned around he looked torned. His eyes looked over at Gabriella and walked over to her. He grabbed her in a hug at first Gabriella hesitated but then she gave in and cried her hardest in his chest. She felt his hands rub up and down her hair.

"I'm sorry..." he whispered.

Gabriella didn't respond to his apology words, she just continuously cried. She didn't know what to do all she knew was that he had cheated on her. His fiancee, the woman he was suppose to marry, and the woman he supposely loved. Gabriella needed answers to all her remaining questions that lingered in her head. After minutes of sobbing, she pulled away from him wiping her tears with her bare hands. She looked up at him to see sorrow in his eyes.

"I - I'm gonna go home." she sniffled lowly.

Austin nodded touching her wet cheek with his index finger. "Okay... just know I'm sorry."

Gabriella just nodded numbly before grabbing her purse and walking out of his office.

Troy sat in the living room watching Gabriella's soap opera. He was watching the episode in which the character she plays is married but having an affair. He couldn't help but let his imagination wonder and this be of him and Austin in the situation with her. She would be married to Austin but having an affair with Troy. Troy chuckled lowly at himself at the crazy thought that crossed his mind. He felt his stomach grumbled realizing that he was feeling hungry. He got up and lazily made his way to the kitchen. He open the cabinets letting his blue orbs quickly search for something to fill his stomach with. Troy suddenly hurt the front door shut and foot steps running up the stair case. Troy stood still and remained in silence hearing the raven girl sniffling. To him she sounded adorable but the sound sniffling was not good at all. He heard loud movement upstairs before mintues later steps coming down the stair case and entering the kitchen. With one look Troy saw the immediate hurt in her coco brown eyes.

"Gabriella." he breathed out.

He watched as clear tears fell from those coco browns he walked over to her raising her chin with his finger softly making her look into his eyes. "What's wrong?"

She shook her head furiously before letting it all out again. Troy wrapped his toned arms around her, pulling her softly into his embrace. Gabriella took a breathe in as she once again felt the shocks of waves flowing her body. She wrapped her arms around his waist and held him tightly, enjoying this amazing feeling that was reviving her body. Troy held her tightly leaning his chin on the top of her head.

Some moments after Gabriella loosened her grip meaning she wanted to pull away. Troy slowly let her go but not fully. He cupped her heart shapped puffy face with his hands and rubbed the tears that continuously fell from the edges of her eyes off her cheeks.

"Please Brie tell me what's making you cry like this." he practically begged softly looking into her eyes.

She sighed sniffling looking back into his. "Austin..."

Troy looked at her concernly. "What about him? Is he alright?"

Gabriella nodded slightly, and exhaled a deep breathe she didn't realize she was holding in. "I-I-I..I found him cheating on me with another woman." she choked out.

Troy's eyes widen, they were almost as wide as the moon. "What? How the fuck-"

Gabriella interrupted. "I know.. I went to surprise him but he was with another woman."

"Fucking Asshole! How the fuck could he do that to you." Troy said feeling anger rise in him.

"I can't stay here right now.. I need space away from him.. I already packed my bags." she spoke softly.

Troy nodded understanding. "Where are you going to stay?"

"I'll see if I could stay with Sharpay, If anything I'll just stay at a hotel for a couple of days."

Troy nodded in response.

"Troy I know Austin is your brother and I don't want to make you feel like I'm trying to make you for pity for me or be on my side in the whole scandal because I'm not" She looked at him.

"I know you're not Brie. What he did was wrong totally wrong. I honestly don't understand what the fuck is wrong with him." Troy sighed.

Gabriella shrugged and began making her way to her luggage. Troy beat her to it picking it up in his hands and helping her out the house to put it in her trunk. He watched her as she dialed Sharpay's number asking if she can crash for a couple of days. Once she was approved of the question she turned to Troy.

"Call me or Text me if you need anything okay?" he said, and she nodded with a thank smile over her lips. Troy smiled back before pulling her into a hug. He smile got wider she her felt her hold him tightly. He felt an overwhelming feeling inside of him that just made he want to scream out in happiness and jump around all crazy. Knowing that she was going to be gone, he needed to make sure that while she was gone, he would see her. He already had gotten use to seeing her angelic face this whole week at all times of everyday. He pulled away giving her a comforting smile and leaning down to place a peck on her cheek.

"Bye Troy." she said softly entering her car. She started the car and began pulling out the driveway looking into her rear view mirror that happened to show Troy waving bye. She had to admit that she felt a sense of relief that she wouldn't see Austin for a couple of days but she also had to admit she felt an uncomfortable feeling in her chest that she wouldn't see Troy for a couple of days.

Austin pulled into his drive way at 7 at night realizing Gabriella's car was no where to be found. He sighed getting out of his car and walking to his house. He wanted to shoot himself in the head for he felt like the biggest piece of shit in his whole life. How could he hurt the woman that he loved like that? How could he hurt his bride to be like that? What the fuck was he thinking? He entered the house walking up the stairs with his shoulder slouched. He felt like an asshole a really big one. He walked into his room to find it empty. He looked into their closet, seeing half of her belongings gone. He felt his chest hurt. He sat numbly down on the bed putting his head in his hands.

"She left." Troy spoke low.

Austin looked up to find Troy at his doorway. "I noticed.."

"You're a fucking stupid ass asshole. Do you know that?" Troy spat at him.

Austin nodded putting his head back in his hands.

"How could you do that to her? I thought you loved her Austin?" Troy walked more into the room.

"I don't know that the hell came over me man. I don't fucking know." Austin exclaimed with his head still remained in his hands.

"You have a beautiful woman everyday that waits for you at home and you cheat on her with some easy girl? Gabriella is a driven gorgeous talented amazing gracious young woman she deserves better than you." Troy spat.

Austin lifted his head from his hands and looked at Troy in some what anger. "And you don't think I know that Troy?"

"You obviously didn't if you're screwing the next bitch." Troy said.

"You don't know Gabriella man so shut the fuck up and mind your god damn business!" Austin yelled.

"I know more about her than you think I do! And I'm not gonna mind my business! After seeing how hurt she was man how could I?" Troy yelled back.

"Get the fuck out of my room Troy! You act like you know everything but in reality you know shit! No wonder why Victoria used your dum ass!" Austin spat.

Troy was taken back by his words. He had to admit that it actually hurt him. "Like I said before Gabriella deserves better than you." Troy said lastly before walking out of Austin's room.
