Four years later

Dear Diary,

Today's my birthday!! And I still have time for you. Weird, when I first got this I didn't know what to write. Now I can't really stop writing in here. Tay, Shar, and Mom said it's good because I have womanly things to put in here. I guess, but that just made me think of tampons and pads and… Oh never mind.

College, school, work, same thing. Nothing different really. Today we have no school, it's a Saturday, duh. Anyways, me and Troy are good. But I was kind of sad that he asked for my promise ring back earlier today. Remember? I wrote about it when he gave it to me… I hope he isn't planning on breaking up with me on my birthday. I think that's the reason why I'm writing in here. I'm scared that he's going to break up with me. Lately he's been talking about how cool it is that we still act like dawgs…Sigh.

My hand hurts now. I think I want to get this on the computer or something. Anyways, I should get into party mode. The people are here and I don't want to ruin my own party. Wish me luck with Troy and my birthday!

Love,

Gab-Dawg

"Gabi, I'm very proud of you. You are now twenty-three and that makes you more of an adult than you already are." Her mother smiled at her, "A few years ago you wouldn't even think about doing these things. But now? Some things are too "manly" for you." Anna said with air quotes as Gabriella rolled her eyes with a smile.

"But I'm very proud to say that, you have finally completed the checklist." She smiled at her and Gabriella furrowed her eye brows. "I thought I already finished that a long-"

"Uh, thanks." He said to Anna and she smiled with a nod. Everyone was holding their breath for they knew what Troy was going to do.

They all silenced and Gabriella looked at Troy like he was crazy. What in the world is he doing, she thought.

"Earlier today, I asked for Gabriella's promise ring back." He spoke and Gabriella looked at the ground uncomfortably. She looked up from her seat and noticed everyone was smiling. She couldn't be more hurt. Why are people smiling at that thought?!

"The reason why is," She looked at him. Finally, there's a reason she thought.

"It's because I don't want her to have it." Gabriella's breath was caught in her throat as she heard that. Her eyes became a little teary. Why did he have to publicly end their relationship? And on her birthday? She pursed her lips together in attempt to stop her tears.

Troy smiled at her, "I have something else for her, and a much better promise." He spoke softly as he sat down next to her. Gabriella looked confused as Troy spoke. Her tears slowly let loose and Troy wiped them with his thumbs.

He cleared his throat, "When you feel like crying, or when you feel like you can't go on… I'll be here for you. I'll hold you in my arms, anything it takes. You know that right? I got you, we got each other." She continued to look confused but nodded. She smiled with glossy eyes. She blushed because she had just cried in front of her friends and family.

"Because," He smiled, "I love you. I always have and always will. Until the day my life is through, I have this new promise for you."

She smiled softly at him. "I already gave you my heart, so I'm giving you my word. If that's not enough to prove it, I'll give you this."

He bent down and opened the velvet box, "Here's my promise…"

Gabriella smiled at him as she finally realized what he was doing.

"I'll love you forever, and forever starts today." He smiled then nervously asked, "Will you marry me?"

She nodded and bent down to hug him. She whispered into his ear, "I love you T-Dawg."

"I love you, too Gab-Dawg."

Gabriella giggled softly as she and Troy rested their foreheads against one another's. She bit her lip with rolled eyes as they heard Chad whisper, "Me too Gab-Dawg!"

Troy and Gabriella turned their heads to Chad and Zeke. Zeke nodded, "I love you too T-Dawg, but kiss her already!"

There was laughter heard and Troy turned his attention to Gabriella. They engulfed each other into a passionate kiss. They let go with smiles as they continued to hear cheers and applause.

"Happy birthday day," Troy whispered to her.

Gabriella smiled at the memory. She put the diary away and walked out of the room. She peeked out the window and smiled, right on time. She thought to herself and walked down stairs.

"Hey, how was work?" She asked with a smile. He pecked her on the lips and replied, "It was good, how's my baby?"

She smiled and walked with him to the kitchen. "She's okay," Gabriella replied while rubbing the sides of her stomach.

He smiled, "And what about my little dawg?" He kissed her stomach and she giggled. They had their little one on the way and both Gabriella and Troy couldn't wait. Gabriella rolled her eyes. She thought Troy meant their little one was the baby. Troy smirked playfully knowing exactly what she thought.

"Well, she's good, too." Gabriella told him and Troy nodded. She wrapped her arms around him and they carefully shared a warm hug. Gabriella smiled and walked to the living room.

Troy sat on the couch next to his wife and groomed her hair lovingly. He kissed her forehead and smiled at her. She smiled back and switched the T.V. on. He remembered when he doubted that he even loved her. Or how he used to not believe she could be the one. Troy just held her in his arms, glad that he finally did realize that she could be…
