Troy paced around back stage waiting for Ms. Darbus to call his name. He had left a voice mail for Gabriella to make sure that she was at the Talent Show that day because he had something to tell her. He didn't quite know how to say it, so he thought that it would be best to sing it to her, kind of ironic though, singing is what brought them together, and singing is what's going to bring them apart.
Ms. Darbus thanked the previous performer for their performance and then called out Troy's name along with the song he was singing, 'Say Goodbye'.
Troy peeked from behind the curtain and looked around for Gabriella. Sure enough he found her sitting in the front row. He took a deep breath and then walked out onto the stage. He brought the microphone up to his mouth and began to sing, looking into Gabriella's eyes.
Baby come here and sit down, let's talk
I got a lot to say so I guess I'll start by
Saying that I love you,
But you know, this thing ain't been
No walk in the park for us
I swear it'll only take a minute
You'll understand when I finish, yeah
And I don't wanna see you cry
But I don't wanna be the one to tell you a lie so
Gabriella froze, her head spinning with questions.
How do you let it go? When you,
You just don't know? What's on,
The other side of the door
When you're walking out, talk about it
Everything I tried to remember to say
Just went out my head
So I'ma do the best I can to get you to understand
He was breaking up with her and Gabriella wasn't crying.
There's never a right time to say goodbye
But I gotta make the first move
'Cause if I don't you gonna start hating me
Cause I really don't feel the way I once felt about you
Girl it's not you, it's me
I gotta gotta figure out what I need
There's never a right time to say goodbye
But we know that we gotta go
Our separate ways
And I know it's hard but I gotta do it,
And it's killing me
Cause there's never a right time
Right time to say goodbye
Taylor looked over at Gabriella but her eyes were fixated on Troy. Taylor knew that asking Gabriella if she was alright could be the dumbest thing she could say to her friend right now. Instead, she grabbed her hand and laced her fingers with her own. She felt Gabriella squeeze her hand as she turned back to face Troy.
Chad just looked on at his friend in astonishment. Troy hadn't said a word about wanting to break up with Gabriella. He knew that they had some problems, but he didn't think that he would actually break up with her.
But now your heart is breaking
And a thousand times I
Found myself asking, "Why? Why?"
Why am I taking so long to say this?
But trust me, girl I never
Meant to crush your world
And I never
Thought I would see the day we grew apart
And I wanna know
Gabriella knew they had their fights, and wouldn't talk to each other for a week.
How do you let it go? When you,
You just don't know? What's on,
The other side of the door
When you're walking out, talk about it
Girl I hope you understand
What I'm tryna say.
We just can't go on
Pretending that we get along
Girl how you not gonna see it?
She remembered their first fight and it didn't go so well. It was about something stupid, Troy made a comment about her being so dedicated to Chem. club, and not he and then she made a comment about Troy and his obsession with basketball. They didn't talk to each other for about a week because they knew they couldn't stay away from each other for long. It wasn't the same now. They fought frequently and for some of their fights, there was no coming back from them.
There's never a right time to say goodbye
But I gotta make the first move
'Cause if I don't you gonna start hating me
Cause I really don't feel the way I once felt about you
Girl it's not you it's me.
I gotta gotta figure out what I need
There's never a right time to say goodbye
But we know that we gotta go
Our separate ways
And I know it's hard but I gotta do it,
And it's killing me
Cause there's never a right time
Right time to say goodbye
Troy looked at Gabriella in the audience but couldn't read her eyes. Troy saw Chad looking at him from the corner of his eye but kept his eyes fixed on Gabriella.
There's never a right time to say goodbye
Listen to your heart
Girl you know,
We should be apart, baby I
I just can't do it
I, I just can't do it
Listen to your heart
Girl you know,
We should be apart, baby I
I just can't do it
And sometimes it makes me wanna cry
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Do you hear me crying?
But I gotta make the first move
'Cause if I don't you gonna start hating me
Cause I really don't feel the way I once felt about you
Girl it's not you it's me.
I gotta gotta figure out what I need
There's never a right time to say goodbye
But we know that we gotta go
Our separate ways
And I know it's hard but I gotta do it,
And it's killing me
Cause there's never a right time
Right time to say goodbye
Troy looked around the auditorium, but when his eyes landed back on Gabriella, he saw a bodyguard standing beside Gabriella. Gabriella looked from the bodyguard to Troy. Gabriella then stood up from her seat. She slipped on the white fur coat the the body guard had been holding, then walked to one of the exits of the auditorium.
But we know that we gotta go
There's never a right time to say goodbye
But I gotta make the first move
'Cause if I don't you gonna start hating me
Cause I really don't feel the way I once felt about you

There's never a right time to say goodbye

And I know it's hard but I gotta do it,
And it's killing me
Cause there's never a right time
Gabriella turned back as the bodyguard opened the door.
Right time to say goodbyea/n: ...EndlessDreamer1024. From the first author's note til this one had been EndlessDreamer's! ...Even though I think I changed your oneshot wayyyy too much. Sorry!
"Where'd Gabby go?" Troy asked Taylor after the talent show.
Taylor glared at him.
"It was coming this way, I'm sorry Taylor. Now where'd Gabby go?" Troy said.
"She said she had to go to the washroom in the middle of your break-up performance," Chad joked.
Taylor shoved Chad onto the side.
"In a fur coat?" Troy said loudly.
Taylor looked at him puzzled.
"There was a bodyguard? White fur coat? Went down to her feet?"
Taylor's expression didn't change.
"Hello!" Troy exclaimed, "What were you even doing the whole time?"
"Thinking of your punishment," Taylor said honestly.
"I'm serious, guys."
"No clue."
"Let's go to her house," Troy suggested.
Taylor laughed out loud, "You think you'll get into her house. You must be kidding me."
Troy frowned.
"Well I guess visiting her wouldn't be a bad idea. I mean, you did just dump her in public..." Taylor thought out loud.
When they were a few houses down from Gabriella's house, Troy turned pale.
"Tell me that's my imagination," he said pointing to a big sign saying SOLD.
"That wasn't there yesterday," Taylor said worried.
"Let's go to my house," Taylor suggested, going across the street to her house.
The three burst into the house, and Taylor rushed to her computer.
"Where is she?" Taylor mumbled over and over again, as the computer started to load.
Taylor was so frantic that she didn't know what she was doing, but then she froze, "Oh. My. God."
Chad and Troy rushed to her side.
"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god," Taylor kept on mumbling, as she click on the heading, giving her a fan page.
Troy turned pale.
Chad tilted his head, "Is that Gabby?"
The fan page was a shade of lavender, but there was one part that caught Taylor's attention.
Our fav singer is auditioning for a lead role in a movie tomorrow. We all wish her the best of luck!
"She's a singer?" Troy whispered.
