Troy stood up and took a deep breath. He was going to try and get Gabriella to listen and understand even if it killed him. He needed to get Gabriella to forgive him. He was a mess without her. He grabbed his jacket and his cellphone and left the house. He decided to walk to Gabriella's house. It would help him to clear his head and think about what he was going to say to her.
Gabriella stood up and placed a jacket on. She had to go over to Troy's and tell him that she was sorry. Sorry for not listening. Sorry for being mean. To tell him that she forgives him. That she still loves him. That she wanted to spend the rest of her love with him. To have a family with him. To grow old with him. She made her way out of the house and started to walk down the street to Troy's.
Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Dont be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
cause Ive seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You dont know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less
Both Troy and Gabriella looked straight ahead as they walked down the street. Aiming to go to the other's house. To explain things. To win them back. At first they didn't spot the other walking down the street but as they edged closer Troy noticed the familiar flow of black hair and Gabriella noticed the shaggy flop of Troy's hair. They stopped and looked at each other. Not knowing who should talk first. Minutes passed and there was still silence until they decided to be the one that broke the ice.
"I'm sorry" Gabriella said
"It was a mistake" Troy said at the same time that Gabriella. Both laughed slightly. "Can we go get a coffee?" Troy asked. Gabriella nodded and followed Troy into a local café. They sat opposite each other at table and Troy took a deep breath.
Ill stand by you
Ill stand by you
Wont let nobody hurt you
Ill stand by you
So if youre mad, get mad
Dont hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
Well Im a lot like you
When youre standing at the crossroads
And dont know which path to choose
Let me come along
cause even if youre wrong
"Look I'm sorry Gabbi. I didn't mean for it to happen. I don't know what happened. One minute we were discussing the musical rehearsels and the next she was forcing herself onto me and I couldn't help it. I didn't want to all I kept thinking about was you. And when I learnt you saw that broke my heart"
"You hurt me Troy" Gabriella replied quietly looking down at the table. She remembered the hurt and the pain she had felt when she realised that Troy was kissing the blonde.
"I know I did baby and for that I am truly truly sorry. When I learnt that you have overdosed I thought that I lost you and that was the one thing that hurt me the most. I thought that I would never be able to see your beauty and your honest again. I love everything about you Gabriella and I really would like another chance"
Ill stand by you
Ill stand by you
Wont let nobody hurt you
Ill stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And Ill never desert you
Ill stand by you
And when...
When the night falls on you, baby
Youre feeling all alone
You wont be on your own
"Troy when I saw you and Sharpay I thought that my whole world had come crashing down. I didn't want to carry on without you in my life. But as I laid in the hospital I knew that I couldn't let my life go. I had too much ahead of me to waste my life over you. I didn't ever want you back in my life but I realised that I am nothing without you. That you are the one that makes me whole"
Gabriella looked at Troy and smiled weakly. Troy once again saw the beauty and the honesty in Gabriella. But he also saw the hurt and the pain in her eyes and he hated that. He knew that it was his fault. And he knew that he could never let himself hurt something so pure again.
"I won't ever hurt you again Gabs. I promise" "You better not Troy because if you do I WILL leave you" Troy couldn't help but smile slightly. He knew that he wouldn't hurt Gabriella again. He loved her too much and he was about to prove that. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the velvet box. He opened it up and got up from the table and got down on one knee.
"Gabriella Montez. You are the most special person in my life and I love you with all my heart. Would you please make the happiest man alive by becoming my wife?" Gabriella couldn't believe it. She never expected Troy to propose to her. Especially in front of all these people. She couldn't help but smile and nod "Yes Troy I will" Troy placed the ring on her finger then stood up and kissed her, listening to the claps and the cheers from the customers in the café.
"I love you Gabriella Montez" Troy whispered calmly
"I love you too Troy Bolton" Gabriella replied grinning.
Ill stand by you
Ill stand by you
Wont let nobody hurt you
Ill stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And Ill never desert you
Ill stand by you
Ill stand by you
Wont let nobody hurt you
Ill stand by you
Wont let nobody hurt you
Ill stand by you
