BABE;;

[Troy Bolton]

I love you for your gentle hands,
That melt away my pain.
I love you for your loving heart,
That made mine beat again.

___________________________________________

Seventeen was shooting today, no dance numbers or singing just acting. Troy was ready for it script in hand as she studied it on the way to work, finding himself so bored right now. Lena came in veiw soon after, he had to admit she was pretty. Full spanish but the south american kind. Full hips with long blodish hair, clear voice no accent in sight. Deep clear green eyes and a flashing smile a very pretty girl. But Troy was into Gabriella non the less and not into Lena only his character was. As filming started, Troy sat in his chair that had, 'Zac Efron'. He soon difted off to his own day dream, remembering the time in Spain with Gabriella. Before a voice rang to his ears. " Zac? Hello earth to dork? " she teased him lighty. He snapped back and looked down to see Lena in front of him, happy as ever. She had on a tang top with thin straps, the color white. Drapped over with a jeans jacket finished off with some skinny jeans and some flats. Her makeup dog and her hair straight and down, she was in acting clothes. Troy had already been tothe make up and was just waiting to be called. " oh sorry Lena, whats up ? " he asked with with a small smile. " time to act loverboy, come on you loser " she told him with a bright smile, not much flirting with him. Taking his hand as he was tugged on to set. Troy didn't even have time to answer as the director yelled "Action" and Troy snapped into his character.

The day went by with him off and on set. Lena throwing herself at him over and over again. The bad thing was his ring wasn't on, it was in his pocket. He couldn't wear the promise ring during shooting and always put it back on when he was finished. Like now, finally the director called it a day and told them scenes they would do tomarrow. Troy gave a light grown, it was close to midnight and he knew Gabriella was asleep. He started to make his way toward the car so he could go back to his hotel but some one called Zac and he turned around. " Zac why don't you come party with us tonight, we are almost done shooting this movie and we want to have an early celebration " said a cast member. Troy gave a nod and said he would meet them at the club. Going back to his hotel, he pulled out his iphone, dialing Gabriella's number. Hearing her voicemail giving a roll of his eyes. " Hey Gabi, I know your asleep and I'm rolling my eyes riight now because you didn't pick up. But your naughty boy still loves you. don't worry. Look babe I gotta go leave me a message when you get this bye " he told her i nthe message and hanged up the phone. Before slipping into something for clubbing.

It was a blue shirt with a logo across it, blue jeans and his sneakers. He got a driver and go in the limo, knowing he would have a drink tonight. As he reached the club, he got out the car and looked at the name of the club, he didn't want to walk into some stripper place by mistake then again it wouldn't really be a mistake. '40/40' oh how classy. He skipped the line and walked in, Zac Efron didn't do lines no matter how old he was. As soon as he walked in, a hand took his arm, he looked over toward this person it was only Lena. Thankfully he had his promise ring on but she didn't give a whoot. He gave her a friendly smile and took a small and light drink from the bar. " Dance with me " she told him, she had already took down two drinks. " um.. if you stay a foot away from me then I will " he told her but he wasn't joking. " Zaaaccc come on I'll do anything " she said and pulled him on to the dance floor. He gave a sigh and danced with her when she did keep the space between them.

Soon as the night grew on, he got a soda and Lena poured her drink into it without Troy knowing. Her drink was strong because it wasn't mixed with anything , but in Troy's sode you couldn't taste a thing. Troy took a sip and Lena dared him to see who would finish their soda first, Lena finished first with a unopened coke. Troy fell behind with half of his sode left, only able to chug down half of that. Oh yea Lena had tricks up her seelves and this was a perfect night, they were not needed on set till one tomarrow. The now drunk Troy smilied happily and looked at Lena as if she was his girlfriend or something. She smiled at him, winking at him, taking both of his hands placing them on her hips. Once he tried to go farther she pulled away and giggled like a little girl. Troy unable to really make sence of what the hell was going on went forward toward her and kissed you. " your hot " he told her with a smile " I know " she whispered back and walked out the front door.

Thankfully the two were fmiling in Texas, a place of small towns, large space and cows. No people to snap pictures of them as Troy followed her outside and into his limo and fell asleep. Now drunk Lena was just mad that he did fall asleep on her but she would get him for it. She looked at his finger and the promise ring, she took it off and placed it on her own finger. He would have to fight to get that back. As they did reach the hotel, Lena made him get up and he went to his hotel room not really looking at Lena as she walked in his room. He closed the door and went to his bedroom, to toss his shoes off and then his shirt and his pants, staying in his boxers. He was drunk so he didn't want to put on shorts and he had a hot girl in his place, he couldn't help it his hormones was something that was not affect by the drinking. They were wild right now as he started to see pieces of clothing fall everywhere. Shirt a shirt, a boot another boot and then a rubber band that held Lena's hair together. " hey you better get ouy, I have a gir- I'm married you know to...too Gabi!" he said as he walked over toward the kicthen only to see something he really shouldn't.

Drunk Lena on his counter, playing with the whip cream as sje sprayed it over her body and some in her hair. " come here I don't care about this girl, it only one will fuck right? " she said with an evil smile and Troy gave a roll of his eyes. But Lena got off the counter and moved over toward him, kissing him hard as she pushed him toward his bedroom. Troy didn't pull back they he should, he couldn't help it this was a really good kiss. He felt his back hit the bed as her hands ran down her muscels playing with his boxers a bit. But she giggled as he turned her over and then took control, was he use to taking control during sex? Gosh she wanted to take control, now! Troy didn't let her as he started to kiss her and lick the whip cream from her body. Taking off any other clothing that was on her, which was just girl boxers and a bra. Now she was naked in front of Troy and he wasn't, bad thing. She gave a low growl and he heard her, looking up at her like she was crazy. " ROLL OVER NOW" she yelled at him in a strong but sexy voice pushing him off.

He did as he was told and felt Lena grip him with both of her legs as either side of him. Getting off to take his own boxers off and she started to kis his lips and then let her hands trail more down. " woah " he said a bit shocker. She gave him a smile and moved away to go under the covers, telling him to follow. He was never use to him no being in control but well he liked it. For once it wasn't him just making all the moves but this Lena person. He got under the covers, he was so drunk he didn't even put protection on and she was drunk as well not telling him to put protection on. Then he finally moved inside of her and the rest of the night to him was just a blur other then Lena's loud mouth saying his name, thank good for sound proof walls.

The next morning Troy got up at ten in the morning, he needed to be on set by 1 so he was all good. But his head was hurting him and he knew why handover. He gave a smirk and felt for his promise ring a thing he did every morning but he didn't feel it this time, where the hell was it. He felt a back behind him, Gabriella? He really prayed right now it would be her but it wasn't, it was Lena. " oh sit " he yelled and fell off the bed waking her up. Lena let her eyes look over the bed, she was hurting from a hangover and from Troy. " damn Troy you could of atleasttook it easy on me last night " she said with a smirk. " what easy on you? Gosh I hope you taking about me taking it easy on stuff some easybake cookies in your mouth! " he shot back, not caring that the louder he was the more it hurt his head. " noo stupid we got drun and had wild crazy earthshaking- " she said cut off my Troy " please don' say it " he said in almost a whisper. " ...sex" she ened with a smile and started to put on her clothing. "

"urg..Lena just like get out I need to think...wait it that my promise ring give it back! " he told her as she was about to leave. " kiss me " she said with a smirk, he had to do that was his and Gabriella's. That was like his and Gabriella's relationship and he would do anything for their relationship. He gave her a peak on the cheek and she gave a shake of her head. " come on boy your a better kisser then that " she said with a smirk. He leaned in and kissed her full on, tongue and everything but it didn't last long. He pulled away and held his hand out. She gave him the ring and rolled her eyes walking to her room.

[[ended it kind bad you can start with him coming back and what not, lost my muse ]]]

Gabriella Montez

Gabriella gazed down at her phone as she felt it vibrate and saw the familiar face pop up on the screen and 'Troy' on it as she smiled. Oh normally she'd pick up in a second but she was on a plane, flying out to Texs to surprise the boy. It had been some time since she'd seen him. They had left Spain and went their seperate ways, Gabriella back to Malibu and Troy to texas to begin filming Seventeen, things were changing for the two but they were trying so hard to keep things together and to become one instead of two seperate souls. She hd missed that face she had come to know so well. She listened to the message nd smiled happily before drifting off to sleep only to be awoken two hours later. She was alone, her agent didn't even know she was doing this but she knew she had to. She missed him too much not to see him. She had booked herself a hotel near by the set and she took a cab there as she fell asleep on the comfy bed of the hotel not putting much effort to change in to pajamas or anything of the sort but just fall asleep right on top of the covers, she was worn out that was for sure.

She was awoken the next day by the sun shining in to her room as she went to the bathroom and showered up knowing she wanted to look perfect for when she surprised him. Looks didn't always matter to her but she wanted to impress him, after all she loved the boy to death and looking perfect for him was something that happened on a daily basis. She was finally dressed, going for something a bit more casual then she was usually seen in but it wasn't as if she wanted to look like she was walking the red carpet. She was off on her way as she slipped sunglasses over her eyes and went towards a car that she rented from the airport and drove off to where his agent had told her he'd be staying. She vaguely recognized some of the stars that were also in the movie with him leaving, the very flirtatious Lena.

The girl had a reputation for being a bit flirtatious and Gabriella had noticed. She looked over towards her as Lena looked a bit messed up it only worried Gabriella as she went to the front desk and asked for Troy's room number and was then off on her way. She got in the elevator alone as she waited for it patiently to arrive at his floor. Once it had she got out and walked down the hall towards his room. She knocked on the door lightly and when she saw his face he wasn't happy but he looked upset. Her smile soon diminished as she looked at him curiously and raised and eyebrow. "T-Troy, whats wrong?" she asked looking at his hand to see that his promise ring wasn't on but in his hand. She took in a deep breathe not wanting to assume anything though her brain was already coming up with tons of possible scenarios. She walked in the room as he didn't say anything and shut the door. "..I thought you'd be happy to see me." she said looking his way once more ever so curiously and quite unhappy. She was expecting a much more happier Troy today.

sorry isn't enough

___________________________________________

It was true Troy cheated on Gabriella and he didn't mean to with all of his heart. He was drunk and stupid but now he was scared as hell and kinda pissed. But he had time but think this out as he slipped on his shorts and tossed the covers back on his bed. He never made up his bed, so what the hell now time to sit and think. But just as he did, he heard the knock on his door, he head hurt. He really wasn't looking for company right now but got up to answer the door anyways. Only to see one person that he did want to see but didn't, Gabriella. He wasn't looking looking to great either, hair messed up and he just looked trashed. Head up, Troy had got piss drunk last night and right now he was kinda in a hang overe, not a bad one. Though he wouldn't let the cast know or even the director, he would get in trouble he knew it. Underage drinking really and he was only like a year away from twenty one, his luck. As she asked what was wrong he just gave a small nothing and let her in to his hotel. Small yawn given before he closed the door behind them and looked at her. “ no Gabriella I am happy to see you, I'm just really beat “ he told her truthfully. Letting a hand run threw his brown locks, his body was killing him along with his head.

The good news, he wasn't barfing all over the place, he was use to this by now. “ I'll be right back I need to take a shower really quick “ He told her with a small warm smile as he walked over toward the bathroom, not bothering to close the door. It was only like a ten minute shower, all the time he wondered how he became so drunk all he had was one small light drink and a soda. Troy was never a heavy drink, after one time when he got drunk, he feared strong drinks with a passion. He wrapped a towel around his lower waist and walked out the bathroom, open hands to Gabriella, he was now going to kiss her because he didn't before. He didn't bring her to close to him, before he was still wet from his shower. Giving her a kiss on the lips, tongue and all like a make up for his some what bad mood. He let her hands go and got dressed in some jeans and a tee shirt, not like he was shooting in these clothes. Taking his script in hand before he placed his promise ring on his finger, always the marriage finger. Reading the time, 11:30 “ oh shit “ he whispered before looking toward Gabriella. “ Come I'm gonna be late for work “ he told her taking her hand as he walked out the house.

Still beat up but after the shower, he was a lot better. The only think keeping him from throwing up was some pizza he had last night that had soaked up whatever he had last night. The driver came up and Troy opened the door for Gabriella and then got in. “ I'm sorry babe if I didn't have work I would of spent the whole day with you “ said Troy to Gabriella with a smile. Giving her a kiss on the cheek. Holding her hand within his own, inside his brain was nothing but clam even if his face read cool and clam. It too kthem about 30 minutes to reach the set, seeing that Texas was space and their was no store around the counter. Well at least around these parts that they were filming in. As both him and Gabriella got out, his hand slipped around her waist, having her close with him. But before he could even really spend time with Gabriella he got pulled into makeup and what not. People tugging at his hair, picking out clothes for him as he looked over his script deep in thought for a moment. Just his luck he had to kiss Lena today, on screen, how great was this day?! He gave a roll of his eyes, now green as the makeup person looked at him. “ Wait wasn't your eyes blue yesterday ? “ she asked him. Troy gave a light smile” they change, I'll put in the contacts in a minute “ he told her and pulled the case out as he placed them in only a minute later. Finally he let away dressed and ready as he walked up to Gabriella. Hands slipped around her waist about to pull her into a kiss “ Zac! “ called a young girl voice. He looked up to see Lena hand on her hip. “ Come on we have to be on set..oh hey Gabriella “ she told him and walked off. Troy couldn't help but smirk and give Gabriella a look of 'I'm sorry' mixed with 'work is stressful ' and jogged off toward set.

Gabriella Montez

She could tell there was something off about him today as soon as he opened the door. The expression on his face told more then words could ever say and she was regretting flying over here. It wasn't that she didn't want to see him, it was that she was scared of what he was going to say. She knew he had to say something but keeping himself busy seemed to be preoccupying him from fessing up. It was so obvious to her when she had walked in and there was no hug, no kiss, and no happy smile to welcome her but only a tired and seemingly sad face, the only clue offered was that he was 'beat'. She could only come up with so many problems that would've caused this. Working too much, too much stress, an affair. The last one was always on her mind, she was praying it would be one of the two and she didn't necessarily like any of the three but if it had to be one, she'd hope and pray for working too much and too much stress, an affair was something she didn't want to have to deal with.

If he had an affair, she really wouldn't know what to do with herself. She had already lost him to something similar to this. Should she ride it ou in hopes that he'd be faithful to her in the future and give him the benefit of the doubt that this girl was a complete slut who lurred him in to her slutty ways or was it that he was growing bored of Gabriella, the girl who just wanted to cuddle and who saw him for everything no one else did. She only prayed that all those kisses, all those hot steamy nights would hold him back from cheating on her with another girl. She had managed to stay faithful to him, it wasn't hard for her because no other boys compared, they weren't even worth comparing. She had her eyes set on one, and that was Troy Bolton. Was it wrong to assume they'd be together forever? Was it wrong to assume that he'd never grow tired of her?

As she watched him disappear in to the bathroom she looked around seeing the place in quite a mess, she knew he wasn't exactly the messy type but she was trying to keep it all off her mind. She wasn't going to snoop, she'd only make herself more paranoid. Was it not right to assume that maybe this time their relationship could work out without any problems? She'd love it if it was as simple as that but nothing ever seemed to be easy for the two of them. They never settled for easy, just extraordinary and totally revolting. It couldn't be an in between, unfortunately. As he reappeared a faint smile appearead on her face hoping his 'beat' attitude would be washed away with his shower.

As his lips pressed against hers things felt right and he put her mind at ease. Wasn't it weird and almost scary that just one kiss could make her forget all of her worries and calm down? She was happy to be taking a break from her paranoid mind set. As she watched him get dressed she stared blankly around the room trying to avoid the obvious mess leading from the kitchen to the bedroom. She took in a deep breathe as she let herself sink in to the plush couch in the small living room. It was a nice place, he never settled for less. Why was it always extremes with the two of them? She wished to be normal, to cancel her record deal and resign from the hollywood bizz and soon be on one of those 'Where are they now?' shows, it would be a comforting way to end. If only she could pull Troy along with her but 'Zac Efron' had big things in his future, things small Gabriella had no way of stopping.

She nodded and got up not really saying anything, she hadn't planned on him having work. She had planned on going out to lunch and then maybe walking around town and getting to relax seeing as how it wouldn't be filled with paparazzi, it was a town way out west far from the big cities of Austin, Dallas, and Houston. She grabbed for his hand as his overshadowed her tiny hands but it felt so comforting and reassuring to be there next to him just holding his hands. When he touched her, he made all of her worries disappear. She needed him so badly in life it was a scary thought to think of life without him. Oh if she only could predict the future.

As he was pulled away on set she took a seat and looked down letting her thoughts eat at her once more. A few of the cast and crew members looked her way seeing her obvious disappointment and sad attitude. "Miss Montez is there anything I can get you?" one of the secretaries asked and she shook her head. "No thank you, do you have any idea how long he'll be filming today?" she asked curiously. The scrawny blonde shrugged her shoulders and let her smiling lips turn down in to a somewhat frown. "No, I'm sorry I don't." she said and smiled once more. "If there is anything I can get you, feel free to ask." she said in a cheery and up beat voice before walking away and screaming at one of the extras. It was odd how hollywood could really give these people problems. She saw so many nut cases it wasn't funny, this included Lena whom he now worked with.

Gabriella saw Troy reappear as she gave a faint smile. As his arms wrapped around her waist she smiled and let her arms wrap around his chest as a voice rang in her ears as she looked over to see Lena. She rolled her eyes hoping Troy hadn't seen as he was tugged away and gave a pathetic shrug as 'I have to work' she went back and sat down really wondering if she should just get up and fly back to Malibu, she hadn't come all the way out here just to watch him film. She knew he had to and it was her fault for not calling ahead but still, she wanted it to be a 'surprise' but that hadn't worked out as planned. As he was finally done filming she looked at him and didn't bother changing her unhappy expression. "Hey." she managed to say making it sound not so unhappy but not exactly perky.

Yea Troy was working with the girl he just slept with and he didn't tell his girlfriend, yet. He acted normal and did all scenes, even if he had to kiss Lena, always pulling away went cut was given. After he did finish work, he walked back over to Gabriella, he could tell she was sad. He hated her sad and he really wanted to cheer her up. Hands came around her waist pulling her close, “ I've missed you so much “ he told her and gave her a kiss on lips before pulling it into something deeper. Taking her hand as he lead her away from this place and back into his car, he got out around 5 so they still had a bit of daylight. They reached a really cute cafe not to far off and was able to put his promise ring back on. He couldn't wear it during shooting, so he always had to take if off.

As they got out the limo and then moved for the cafe, which didn't really have heavy meals, so Troy got a cold water and a ceaser salad, his only meal for the day sadly. He ate happily, small smile on his face. After a few minutes maybe an hour passed when they finished ate and Troy took Gabriella on the grassy plains. It was to late to take her hose back riding but not to late fir a stroll in the grassy plains. Hand in hand, he walked with Gabriella telling her how much he missed her and wondered what his favorite girl had been doing. But his mind still on that who sex with Lena, he had to tell Gabriella. He turned to face her, he looked sad alright and he couldn't hold it in anything.

He knew what this would lead up to, so he leaned in and kiss her like it was the last kiss and the best kiss. Well it was because he just knew. Good thing there was no drink her to spill on him or something. He took a step back away from her. “ Gabriella I have to tell you something “ he said as he started to tear up, already feeling a tear tickle down his cheek. “ Last night some how I got dunk last night and when I woke up Lena was next to me. I think we had sex “ he said sadly and put his head down in shame, hand dropped from hers.

As those words spilled from his lips she looked at him in disbelief as tears ran down her chees and she looked at him once more hoping it was some cruel joke. She wished he would've hide it from her and just not told her, it would have been so much easier that way. She looked away from him as she began to sniffle a bit and tears spilled down her cheeks causing her eye makeup to smear against her cheeks as she looked up at him once more and tried to form sentences but nothing seemed to be coming out. "I d-don't know what to say.." she began as she looked at him once more. She honestly had no clue of how to handle this. "..I never thought you'd do this to me." she said truthfully as tears spilled down her cheeks. She looked at her promise ring and slipped it off her finger and grabbed his hand as she set it down gently in his hand. "I can't wear a ring that symbolizes lies." she said plainly as she looked at him. Her face had 'heatbroken' written all over it. Not one bone in her body hated him but was disappointed and let down.

She looked at him once more. "..I know I should be mad but I just can't-" she said putting her palm to her forehead as she glanced down at the grass. "-I still love you, and I just keep giving and I can't do this anymore Troy." she said honestly looking at him once more. "I can't have you walk in to my life and play romeo and the next time I see you play a cheating bastard." she said looking at him once more and shaking her head. "Please pick your role as who you want to be, I know I've seen the true Troy but he seems to be disappearing and Zac seems to be taking over." she said honestly before running away. Where was she running to exactly?" She had no where to run to and the closet airport was two hours away. She doubted they had a taxi out there and she'd left her purse in his car and she had no intention of going to get it.

She ran off and heard him calling her name as she shook it off. Her head was throbbing and her vision was blurred. She was feeling lightheaded but nothing was controlling her from running off. She finally stopped and took in a breathe as she finally reached the road, they'd walked out pretty far. She knew Troy had caught up with her but she didn't know what to say to him, she wasn't going to ride anywhere with him. It was hard enough having him drag her out there to tell her that and then just leave her there. She felt doppy and used and most of all hurt. Heartbroken didn't begin to explain her feelings at the moment.

Troy sighned he knew how this would come, it wasn't going to so slick and smooth. But he didn't know she would give the ring, ok maybe he did but it was harder then he thought. He never changed but a question still came in his mind, how did he get drunk anyways? Troy wasn't a heavy drink and neither was Zac so how did it happen?He passed the thought and looked at him, he did hurt her a lot. " Gabriella I didn't mean-" she she cut him off as she went on taking. Ending it with him away, then again she was now his girlfriend and he was kinda glad less pain for Gabriella. As she turned and started to run, he ran after calling her name but no answer. His legs were longer but gosh she was a runner it seemed.

He caught up to Gabriella, he wouldn't touch only knowing he would get pushed away. "Gabriella.." he said and watched a taxi like car pull up. " your car a waits you " he said and turned away. He didn't know what to say or even do because he didn't know about what happened much the night either. He couldn't even be mad at himself right, he started to walk back towards his own limo as he got in. He did know one person who knew answers, Lena. But it was late aand she must be asleep or something, right? He passed the thought and feel asleep on his way home, he had a driver so no harm done. Once he reached his hotel room, he turned his phone off knowing it would turned back on for his alarm. But it was only 7 'o clock still very early. But Troy just sat on his bed and closed his eyes wanting to think over that night and think about what happen.

He remembered getting a condom but nothing was in the trash so did he use one? If he didn't he hoped Lena was on some pills so she didn't get pregant. He gave a groan and started to drift off to sleep waking up in the night many times. It was finally over believe it or not, him and Gabriella it seemed were never getting back together. That made him angery but he had nothing to take it on but his hormones and Lena in a way. Gabriella made him tick everyday, what was he going to do without her? They would be shooting High School Muscial in like a month she couldn't back out of that she had already signed the contract. He couldn't either, he didn't want to go at all right now. He wanted to go home sit in his bed and be single as he ate ice cream and maybe a strawberry to make himself sick. Ok maybe not that but he was thinking it, like e was emo or something.

As she got in to that car she as leaving it all behind her. Her tears fogged her vision as she turned to see Troy standing there behind in the dust as she didn't take her eyes off of him until he was nothing bigger then a tiny black dot. Soon enough she was dropped off at the airport and she said she couldn't pay him but she gave him a few autographs and he thanked her perfusely. She was a horrible wreck and things weren't going to get any better. She was escorted to her jet and was sent off back to california andshe couldn't stop crying. She wanted to call him and tell him how stupid he was for doing this to her and how she loved him so god damn much but she couldn't live with all of this heartbreak. She soon landed in California. It had been a few weeks since the break up and she couldn't get him off of her mind. She had called her record company and told her them she wanted out. They said she had to finish her current album and then she'd be free to go. She had finished writing the songs, most of which were about breaking up. Ironic right? She cancelled her contract and it was all over the news 'Gabriella Montez quits singing!', it was true. If she could quit acting she'd do that as well but she had a contract with Kenny and she wouldn't do that to him, she'd finish the last movie even if it would kill her to be around Troy.

Gabriella spent a lot of nights had the club getting drunk and she had even dabbled in a bit of cocaine and marijuana. Things weren't looking up for her and her headaches were only getting stronger. She wasn't taking care of herself but living recklessly. She didn't care any longer as crazy as that seemed she just couldn't do it. She was starving herself to be thin like Lena and she was going to extremes of crying and throwing things and just breaking down. She had found herself passed out on the beach one night only to be awakened by flashes in her face as her neighbor went out and helped her in. She spilled her guts to him, he seemed trustworthy. He spent a lot of time with her now. They would get high together and he'd try and cheer her up but that never worked.

She couldn't turn on the TV without hearing about Zac or herself or even about High School Musical 2. It was just too much to handle and she couldn't even handle herself. She took in a deep breathe as she heard the doorbell ring and she looked at it oddly. She never had visitors, not anymore for that matter. "..Hold on, getting dressed!" she screamed as she went in to her room to find things thrown everywhere and she smelled at a yellow sun dress that smelled fresh. She put it on and fixed her hair in the slightest bit. She had grown very thin, had lost a lot of her tan, and was never quite happy looking anymore. She went to the door and opened it to see a very surprising guest. "...hi." she was finally able to say after staring at him for five minutes or so. It was Troy, she hadn't seen him in over two months and in another month she'd be filming with him but it didn't seem real that he was there right in front of her looking perfect while she was looking, well not.

sorry isn't enough

___________________________________________

“ I don't know what to do “ said Troy to his therapist who seemed worried about him and his action. This was the third meeting this week, well she was making money so no problem there. He had turned off his phone, still had bit it was never on. He had ate a whole carton of ice cream in one day and got scolded by his mother and trainer. Who placed him in a gym for who knows how long so he could regain his body only a month before shooting. “ anything else happen this week? “ she asked him. “ I saw my sister dance and I realize she growing up...I want to be a dad when I get married” he said and just kinda got out. He didn't want to stay there anymore and his therapist knew that very well. Troy got home to see a girl in tear, kinda fat sitting on his steps. He wondered who would be out here, he was pretty far away from the city and not many people knew he lived here. He walked over toward the girl and realized who she was. “ Lena? “ he said touching her arm as she got up and she had a bump on her stomach. “ Troy I'm pregnant “ she said all of a sudden, not really wanting to have a conversation but get to the damn point.

“ what with who? “ he asked her. “ your baby “ she said which was a lie. Troy may have been drunk that night but he used protection, Lena just threw it away somewhere else because she wanted to break Gabriella and Troy up for good. And it worked. “ what?1 Are you crazy?? “ he said and opened his house door, letting her inside. “ I have no one to go to please Troy “ she said still in tears. Now Troy just felt bad and he opened his arms to her, “ come here.. It be alright I have another room yu can take and stay here. I not going to throw you our on the street Lena “ he said with a sweet voice. Lena smiled and hugged him, face in his chest as she cried so more. How could she be so lucky? He was having a bad day and he could still welcome her into his home, the girl who made him break up with his girlfriend. Now she realized why Gabriella loved him so much, Lena started to love him as well. She did have a small bump but it was nothing she could still dance a little bit but nothing else other then that. He took her hand and lead her up to the guest room, which was amazing she looked at it and smiled. Looking out the window seeing all the horses and really pretty this place was, “ Troy I really don't want to bother you-” she said cut off by Troy.

“ You are not a bother ok, now cheer up and get ready fro lunch then I'll give you a tour of the place that you will now be staying at. “ He said with a smile, even if he was hurting inside he had to cheer up Lena and make the best of it. Wow him a dad, at 20 years old. It was scary but he loved kids and a small part of him was looking forward to it but that was just a small part of him. The rest of the day went pretty well, Lena told him she was two months along and that she always wanted a bot, Troy a girl. They walked to the back, where the stable was. He let her pet a few horses and then he gave her a tour of the house but she didn't go in his room she couldn't. His Samoyed was wild and very protective of Troy, along with hating girls. She gave a nod and went back in her room to think about what he life was coming too, Troy did the same. Then he got up and told Lena be would be back tonight.

Gabriella was still on his mind no matter what a person said. Even if she quit his label and was now as some gossip papers said a crack head. He didn't believe them or didn't want to really. He got in his car and took his jet over to Cali as it only took about two hours. As he got out the plane, he walked over toward her house and gave a knock on the door. He really didn't know what he was going to say or even do, he just had to see her. But thing seemed different as he waited for her to open the door. He had on a white shirt on with some jeans, nothing to dressed but but it fit him well. As she opened the door he was shocked inside and hurt, she looked different..bad. He could even smell the marijuana from inside the house, now he regreated coming here. “ What happen to you “ he said in a low voice eyes showed concern. Right now he wanted to just back off and go home, he didn't like this Gabriella wwho was infront of him.

Gabriella was hurt enough by what he had done here and now he came all the way here just to judge her. She looked at him and rolled her eyes before stepping out of her house and shutting the door behind her. "..did you come all this way to judge me?" she said looking up at him once more. She was clean at the time, not a single ounce of drugs in her system. "I'm sure you've seen the papers, not liking what you see huh?" she said and looked down knowing she didn't either. She was still the same Gabriella, just with a bit more of a bitchy side and a side that was always judging herself. She wondered why he was here, why he'd call without any notice just to come and judge her. She looked at him once more seeing his face was filled with doubt and obviously confusion. She sat down on the porch steps, the ocean could be heard behind them as she patted the spot next to her.

"..this is why I moved here, it's so peaceful." she whispered as she looked over at him once he'd sat down. "I'm struggling Troy, I'm trying to become normal and that didn't work. I've got such bad headaches now, I've been having more and more and these drugs are the only thing to make my head stop pounding and my heart stop hurting. Things aren't the same with me, I can't bounce back like some people. I've worn myself out of the break up and get back together bullshit." she said and looked down not wanting to get hurt so she put her guard up. A big protective fence around her not letting a single sole in. She was trying to protect herself but in the long run she was only hurting herself. She needed his help, the boy who had caused her so much pain she needed him to help her. He was the only one who knew how to make her get back to her normal self.

She looked at him and let a sigh escape her lips. "I'm sorry, I don't mean to be so mean it's just-" she said and shook her head once more knowing that she couldn't cry. She couldn't let him see her cry again. "..I haven't been feeling well and I haven't been sleeping and I've had to handle the press all on my own and it's rough." she said not talking to him so much but to the ground it seemed. She looked over to him once more and tried to keep her tears from spilling on to her cheeks. "Why did you come out here anyways? To see if I really was on drugs?" she said knowing he could care less about her. "I hear Lena's pregnant, that must be nice." she said sarcastically. She had seen her in the paper, she hadn't bothered to ask if it was Troy's she only assumed. "Is it yours, or some other guy she's slept with lately? She's such a whore.." she said and rolled her eyes. Lena was, she was a maneater and man stealer for that matter. She was scooping up all the hollywood hunks lately.

Did the whole world know Lena was pregnant? He would really like to have that information private, then again his phone was off. His agent must be calling him to confirm that this should not be leaked into the Internet, oh well maybe he would talk to her later. As Gabriella patted a seat next to her Troy did sit down, eyes never off her. They were now a crystal blue matching the ocean's blue a very pretty color. She looked so small and she was already a small person, she was too thin in Troy mind. He hated when people look unhealthy, that inclueded very very skinny people. Lena in a way was like that but not anymore, she was just eating all the food in the house. He even told the chef to spend whatever and stack up for a year because their was a new room at his place, like a giant freezer and fridge. “no...my ther- I just needed to see you... something told me too” said Troy with a shrug.

He never told people he was working with a therapist, no one knew but his mother and father along with Katie. His mother was the one who set him up anyways and now he liked it at times. Troy rolled her eyes at Gabriella's last comment. “ I don't know but she alone and needed a place to stay. It the right thing to do Gabriella even if they have a bad reputation of sleeping around “ said Troy truthfully. He didn't really think about if the bay was his, a part of him didn't care. Lena was helpless and need a place to stay, you can't kick a mother to be out on the streets when people turn their back on her. But he liked the thought of having a young kid run around the house, now that Katie was across the world and ten years old. She was no baby anymore and not that small little girl he knew. He looked back over toward Gabriella, eyes caring but still a bit scared at the moment. “ why don't you hide out for a while if things are so troubling for you? “ he asked her kindly and in a simple manner.

He couldn't put his arms around her and say everything was going to be fun or kiss her and make the pain go away. He was on his own and so was she, he thought she didn't want him anymore. Nothing to do with him it seemed or in a way hoped. He didn't want to hurt her anymore and not getting in a relationship with her seemed a good idea at the time. But now he didn't know what to do but he felt the need to get away and run from his problems right now. Even if it wasn't the right thing to do, he looked and away and started to focus on the ocean.

"What do you think I've been trying to do?" she said looking at him. Did he think she had just been partying and getting high not giving a care to what any of the reporters had to say about her? She had been hiding away in her house only going out a few times to get necessities and even then she had given up on doing that. She hadn't had groceries in three weeks. She would've asked her neighbor but she didn't want to impose. She was always wondering hat people thought about her now. She could only imagine what all of her fans thought about her. She pressed her palm to her face and shook her head. ".I haven't had food in three weeks. Well fresh food. I haven't gone out of the house in a month. They're stalking out my place. I sat out and drank a little with my neighbor and now I see my face plastered all over magazines saying I'm getting drunk with my new sex toy." she said and rolled her eyes. It was embarrassing, and certainly mean.

"It's nothing like that, sure I'm not in the greatest health and I look haggard and I'm on drugs but I'm not a slut." she said truthfully. "The only boy I've ever slept with was you." she said as she looked at him and shook her head knowing he couldn't say the same thing to her. She wasn't even mad about the Lena thing and she probably would've forgiven him after her whole spurt of being sad and mad. She wasn't the type to never forgive. She wanted him to just hold her or in the least, talk to her. She winced in pain as she held her head. "..god these damn migraines." she said as she blinked away the tears and looked at him once more. "I'm sorry for being so harsh to Lena, if it's your baby or if it's not I'm happy for you and her. Or I can at least fake it, I've learned how to fake it from the best." she said bitterly trying not for it to sound so mean but she couldn't help it. She was a tempermental bitch at times and that side was surely slipping out.

Gabriella herself had once been seeing a therapist but it didn't last long, it wasn't because she didn't like it but because she was too busy and couldn't keep up a regular schedule. She used to have no time and now she had all the time in the world. She knew she had to get herself in shape to start filming, maybe then people would get off her back if they even let her in the meeting. Kenny had called a few times and they'd spoken about it a bit. She'd fessed up to what she had done and he didn't seem to mind but he wanted her to get her act together and if she slipped up in the slightest bit she'd be off the movie. She didn't care too much but she wasn't going to let down Kenny, he was such a good friend to her.

She looked over to him once more and shrugged a bit as she looked ou to the ocean. "I'm so messed up, I just don't know how I managed to screw myself over so much." she said looking over to him once more and shaking her head as she looked at him once more and gave him a faint smile. "..I wanted to give you another chance." she said looking at him. "But I doubt you'd want me now, and you've got Lena and I understand and I'm not well I-" she said cutting herself off as she shook her head. "I've lost my brain I swear." she said and let a soft laugh escape her lips, the first in what seemed like years.

___________________________________________

Troy really had no idea what Gabriella was doingor whatthe hell she was thinking. Troy was having trouble keeping faith in Gabriella in times but Katie still did. Even if she heard about the drugs and the drinks, she always said Gabriella would pull through. He didn't know why Katie was so inspired by Gabriella, it wasn't just her beauty but something more. He kept on listening to her and looked back at her with a flash brow raised. “ me and Lena...what do you think we are a couple? Because we're not she just stays by me and stuff. I hate when she had mood swings though, the worst part of it “ He said with a shrug of his shoulders. “ but Gabriella.. I don't want to get into a relationship right now it just not right for me I'm....just need to think things threw“ he told her with a sad voice. He couldn't take the whole drama thing and just wanted to get away but people needed him now. “ I mean away like Hawaii or some really far away place like Alaska “ said Troy looking off. He would love to take a trip but he couldn't and he needed to look over that High School Musical 2 scrpit and look over the song.

It scared him a bit, he would have to dance with Gabriella he knew it. They would be spending time more and more time together because Gabriella and Troy in the movie would be a couple in the second one. He hoped Gabriella would be better by then and inside he kinds knew. She hated letting people down, and Kenny would worry for her. But she was the only one who could help herself. She started the drugs and she would have to end it, Troy couldn't hold her hand and walk her to the path of a greater life. He could wait at the end but not walk her threw it. But how did she get a hold of the drugs? Where was her manger to help her, her parents? “ you haven't lost your brain Gabi “ he said with a roll of his eyes. He could handle all her bitchy tones right now so if she spat right back at him he wouldn't much take it to heart. He knew Gabriella so well it was a shame, if he didn't love her he could call himself a long lost twin. He remembered Holly saying it wad destiny that him and Gabriella would be together.

Was this in that plan as well? He had turned his phone off so much, that he didn't know if Holly had called him or anything, then again he was in New York half of the time she could of came over if she wanted to. Then again she must be mad at him but it made no connection. He was not a heavy drink, all he had was one light drink and a soda, nothing elese so how did he get drunk so fast off of what it seemed nothing. He was stuck on what next to say to Gabriella, he didn't know why he really came her but he just needed too. He really wanted to kiss her but that would send the wrong message and screw things up in his mind. Then again he just told Gabriella that he didn't want a second chance in her life as a boyfriend. It sounded harsh when he thought about it but he couldn't do it.

She looked over at him oddly. "I didn't mean to say get in a relationship with you." she said coldly as she looked down and let a soft sigh escape her lips as she looked over at him once more and took in a deep breathe. "We've only dated once and even then things didn't work out." she said as she looked over at him and then over at the ocean. She knew she was in trouble and she had a lot to do before she could start filming. She took in a deep breathe as she looked over at him once more. "What exactly did you come here for? I'm sure this is just a let down and a reassurance you made the right choice." She said as she looked over at him once more. She was tired and definitely not feeling alright. She saw a flash and she darted her head away as she got up covering her face. "Come on, inside so that they can't get a picture of us!" she said as she opened the door and quickly walked in as she pulled him inside. Her house wasn't exactly the picture of clean but it was decent.

She took in a deep breathe as she walked to the fridge as she opened the door and looked inside to see nothing but drinks, water and vodka. "Would you like something to drink, or well I should ask water?" she said as she poured herself a glass of water as she sipped at it a bit before sitting down at the table she took in a deep breathe as she looked over at him and smiled softly. Soon enough he had left saying he had to get back. She agreed as she said she'd see him in a few months for high school musical two. Gabriella was trying to get back on her feet, going to the gym and working out all day until her body wanted to give out.

She had went to her stylist and got all new clothes. She had met up with her hairstylist and she had put her extensions in, she needed a change from her short hair look. She was working herself dry and she was so tired of it all. She took a few pills not bothering to see what they were or how many she should take. She had went off to the gym and had just started to do some works out as she got dizzy and everything was spinning and she collapsed. She heard people screaming for help and then her blacking out. She awoke to being in a hospital room with tubes and people shouting as she took in deep breathes and looked around. "She's back." one of the doctors said as Gabriella took in short breathes as she looked around a bit scared. "Gabriella, you had collapsed and had taken too many pills." the doctor said as Gabriella looked around and took in another deep breathe still so unsure of all this.

She was finally left alone in the room as she leaned back against the pillows feeling as if her head was spinning with a huge headache. She saw the doctors talking to her Mother and Holly outside and she saw them begin to cry and she wondered why. She saw them come in and Holly looked over to Gabriella as she bit down hard on her lower lip. "Gabby, you're sick. I don't mean sick minded either." she said giving a faint smile as Gabriella looked over at her and gave her a soft smile. "W-What do you mean Holly?" Gabriella asked looking at her beginning to grow worried. "..Gabby they say you've got cancer, you've got a tumor in your brain. It's not big and they say they have a new surgery where they don't have to remove your hair. It'll be okay Gabby, you know I'll be here for you." Holly said as Gabriella was swept away with emotion.

Her eyes started to swell up with tears as she looked around the room. "Y-You've got to be lying.." she said and shook her head. "This can't be happening." she said looking up at Holly who had begun to cry as well. She started to breathe heavy as she let her tears run down her cheeks not feeling well in the least. She could only think about dying and all the things she hadn't done and what she wanted to do, it was tough thinking about this. Cancer killed many people, why should she be any different?

“ I have to go “ said Troy as they walked inside. He needed to pick up Katie from the airport soon, yes Katie. They were going to spend some time together because it seemed Katie had been a bit depressed because Troy wasn't there. She also wanted to see her Idol and make her better. As he got into his plane, he flew by an airport getting out just iin time as Katie called him. She was getting her luggage, waiting for him. Soon time went by and him and Katie had been shopping in Manhattan around 55th street and went to a ballet show, were Katie made them dress up. But today was more shopping and Katie dragged him into limited too, her favorite store but girls just started staring at them. Then he realized they had a whole High School Musical section in this place and kids were now buying things off the shelve for them to sign. He had no choice but to stay and sign the stuff because Katie was still shopping for stuff. The things he did for his sister, he got home and felt his phone ring. Picking it up, he once more got another scare for his life. Now Gabriella was in the hospital for overdosing on pills. He was about to leave was Katie came up to him, “ where are you going Troy? “ she asked him. “ no where just out to ....California be good to Lena bye “ he told her and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

Katie was nice to Lena and really didn't mind her, she loved the thought of a baby. Hearing the baby kick and move around brought Katie to like the baby and Lena. Troy got in his car and went out to the airport to his jet. At times he was great having your own personal jet, no waiting in line for anything. It took him about two hours to right California and then ten minnutes to reach the hospital Gabriella was in. What a day this way, he reached the hospital and found Holly coming back out of the room after they told her he was here. Again his phone was buzzing, Katie he clicked it off know what she was asking him. “ what happen Holly? ' he asked her taking her hands within his own. “ she got cancer “ saif Holly as he began to hug her. Tear in her eyes as they came down, “ it ok Holly she get threw it shh “ he told her rubbing her back. Troy always found himself in these postions, acting as the shoulder to cry on or the guy to run to when your date dumps you. Back then it was so common to Troy, acting strong and all he forgot how to let his feeling out he never really had a should to cry on.

“ I'm going to see Gabriella, ok? “ he told her, sitting her down in the chair. As he walked into Gabriella's room she looked tired and broken. He walked over toward her bedside, sitting in the chair, small welcome smile toward her. “ Gabi Holly told me about the cancer and I know you'll get through it “ he told her kindly taking her hand within his own. It was small and seemed almost lifeless. Then yet again a buzz in his pocket, he took his phone out, “ Katie...hello hey Katie I'm good I'll be there...whenever” he told her and clicked off the phone as she said alright. He didn't blame her for calling she was only here for three days, so she wanted to spend time with him. But Holly would need him and he guessed Gabriella would too. He reached over ad wipped the tears away from her eyes, giving her a kiss on the forehead light smile on his slips. They were so close for that split second, he smelled like Axe as always. He could feel his emotions start to rise and he pulled back to sit in his seat once more.
