As you guys know I've not written in ages so sorry in advance if this chapter is a little rusty but I will do my best!

Well, here goes… ENJOY!!

Troy sat down on his hotel room bed and let out a deep sigh. He was here. Finally. The real journey though, was only half over. He glanced at his suitcase and decided not to unpack as he did not intend on staying long. The only thing he did take out was a small framed picture of her. His girl. His angel that he lost 6 months ago now. His beautiful Gabriella Montez. He stared down at the picture in his hands and felt a tear slip down his cheek which he didn't bother to wipe away. His ran his fingers gently across the cold glass of the frame, over her smiling face.

"Not long now baby." He whispered, "Not long now."

After a very quick shower, Troy made his way down to the hotel lobby. He walked over to the reception and was relieved to discover that the receptionist could speak English.

"Hi, I need a cab for Bolton to go to this address." Troy said, handing over a small piece of crumpled paper with an address scrawled on it.

"Ofcourse…" The receptionist began to trail off as she looked down at the sheet of paper.

Her brow furrowed and she looked back at Troy.

"Excuse me sir, I think there's been some mistake. Are you sure this is the correct address?" She asked.

"What? Yes, yes it's the right address." Troy said, too anxious to notice the confusion in her voice.

"Sir I think you must be mistak-"

"Look," Troy cut her off "I don't mean to be rude but I'm really in a hurry. I can assure you there is no mistake."

The receptionist didn't look convinced but called the cab for him anyway. Troy made his way outside the hotel to wait for the cab. He twisted the promise ring on his finger nervously. He was going to see her again. After six months he was going to hold her again, and this time he wasn't going to let her go. They had had no contact since that day at the airport. He had tried calling her countless times, but when he was told by the operator that the number was no longer in use he had to come to the conclusion that she had to get a new phone. None of his emails were replied to, nor where the few letters he had written her. In the back of his mind Troy couldn't help but wonder if she didn't want to see him anymore. Was it because he did let her go at the airport? Or was it because he had taken too long to finally make it to Paris? He didn't know. He hoped he was wrong.

About ten minutes later, Troy was sitting in the back of a cab and was on his way to Gabriella's house. He played with his promise ring again. I hope she's still wearing hers.

"If you don't mind me asking sir, why are you headed to this address?" The cab driver asked.

Troy looked at the cab driver's reflection in the rear view mirror.

"Family." He replied.

"Family? You mean you were related to the owner of the house?" The driver asked with a surprised tone.

"Um, kinda, yeah I…" Troy trailed off.

One of the words the driver had used confused Troy.

"Wait, what do you mean 'were'?"

The driver glanced at Troy from his rear view mirror.

"Surely if you were family you must know what I'm talking about."

"Well I'm not exactly family, a very close friend." Troy said with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

The driver paused, then looked back at Troy.

"Listen son, I feel awful telling you this, a stranger and all, but your gonna find out soon enough." The driver said sadly.

"Find what out? What are you talking about?" Troy asked with frustration.

"About three months ago, there was a terrible fire at this house your headed to. No one knows how it started, but the entire house was up in flames by the time the fire brigade arrived. I'm sorry son but, she didn't survive."

Troy's heart stopped. He fell into a daze, unable to hear anything around him. He felt like someone had ripped him apart from the inside. He shook his head.

"No. No that can't be true. You're lying." He said, almost in a whisper.

"I'm sorry…"

"No! No I don't believe you." Troy yelled.

He was lying. He had to be. She wasn't dead. His Gabriella was not dead.

Five minutes later, they arrived. Troy looked out of the car window and his breath caught in his throat. What he saw was the black, burnt remainders of what once had been a house. His eyes widened as tears filled them. He slowly got out of the cab and walked towards the house. Every window was boarded up and part of the roof was missing. There many bouquets of flowers and cards of sorrow laid out by a gate that had been put up around the house. Troy fell to his knees, no longer able to hold himself up. He let his tears pour down his face and he wept uncontrollably. All he could imagine was Gabriella and what she must've been feeling when it all happened. I should've been there. I should've saved her. If I had just never let her go at the airport then she'd still be alive. Oh God, Gabriella!

"It's not your fault." The cab driver said quietly while cautiously placing his hand on Troy's shoulder.

Troy didn't realise he had said his thoughts aloud. He continued to cry, staring down at the ground.

"At least she's with her husband now." The driver said very carefully "At least she's not alone anymore."

"What?" Troy asked through his tears. "She wasn't alone, she had Gabriella. But who did Gabi have? I never should have let her go!"

"Gabriella? I'm sorry son but the lady who lived here was named Maria Montez, not Gabriella." The driver said.

Troy slowly looked up at him with confusion in his eyes.

"Her daughter…" He began to say, but the driver shook his head.

"Maria Montez lived here alone son. She didn't have a daughter."
