Here is the final installment in my story! It's all in Troy's POV. It is kinda short and I apologize for that. I want to thank all of my reviewers. You guys have been so supportive. I'm thinking that I can make a sequel out of this story. I'll think about it. My life has been hectic lately.

Epilogue

♫

My name is Troy Bolton. My life has been a roller coaster. Gabi and I have spent the last seven years together; seven wonderful, glorious years; years that I have been truly thankful for. Gabi became my fiancée on graduation night. It was once of the best nights of my life. Gabi looked gorgeous in her long white gown, the dress contrasting with her dark skin.

It was fast, I realize, but we both knew it was what we wanted. We were ready for it and her father agreed, along with my aunt and uncle. I remember watching Gabriella as she removed a few strand of loose hair as we sat on her porch after graduation. We didn't want to go to any of the after parties because of Gabi's condition. It was that and the fact that her father didn't want her to go.

I will always remember the look on her face when I asked her if she could see us together in the future. She had looked me in the eye and told me she couldn't imagine it any other way. I remember the soft gasp that came from her lips as a got down on one knee, revealing the small box I had hidden in my pocket. I remember seeing a few tears roll down her cheeks and I reached up to wipe them away. She said yes to me that night. It was the start of a beautiful life together.

Two years later, we were married by her father in his small church. Chad was my best man while Taylor was Gabriella's maid of honour. My little cousin, Ashley, then five years old, walked down the isle with one of Gabriella's cousins, James. She smiled brightly as she threw little flowers everywhere, her little pink dress matching her blonde hair.

I watched as Taylor, Chad, Sharpay, Zeke, Kelsi and Jason walked down the isle, arm in arm. I stood at he alter, frozen, as Gabriella walked after them with her father. Dressed in white, with a veil over her face, I saw my angel walk to me. We were wed that day, and I couldn't have been happier.

The years have been really good to Gabi and I. We bought a dog three months after our marriage. She was a yellow lab puppy when we got her. Lady has grown so much and Gabi has grown much attached to her. Sometimes I think she loves the dog more than me. I gazed down at the dog at my feet. She lifted her head and looked at me. She dropped her head and went back to sleep when she saw nothing was wrong.

I got out of bed when I heard our three year old son cry out. I walked across the hall and went to calm him down. "Hey, Buddy. It's okay. Daddy's here." Jordan Zachary Bolton looked up at me with his big blue eyes. He had inherited my eyes, but had gotten Gabi's dark brown hair. He wore it in a shaggy mop like mine. Gabi used to say that we looked identical except for the hair colour.

I turned when I heard someone at the door. I smiled as a gorgeous brunette walked towards me, with a tired smile gracing her lips.

"Hey, Gabi. It's okay. I have him. You go back to bed."

Gabi smiled at me and walked to Jordan's bed. She picked him up and gave him a squeeze.

"It's okay, Troy, I got him. You have to work tomorrow."

I smiled appreciatively at my wife of almost five years.

"Thanks, honey. I love you."

I turned to my son, kissing his forehead.

"I love you, too, Buddy."

"'Night, Daddy."

I walked out of my son's basketball themed room and headed to the bedroom Gabi and I shared. I climbed in bed, falling asleep instantly with a smile on my face.

I woke a few moments later when Gabriella climbed into bed.

"Is he asleep?"

Gabi turned to me and gave me a sweet kiss.

"Yes, he is. You should be, too. Good night, Troy."

I kissed her again.

"Good Night, Gabi. I love you."

She smiled.

"I love you, too."

She turned off her light and snuggled into my chest.

Seven years ago, I met the love of my life. She made me promise not to fall in love with her. I broke that promise. It is the only promise I don't regret breaking. Who would have thought that seven years later, at the age of twenty five, I would have a family that I loved dearly. I did not see this for myself before I met Gabi. She changed my life and I am forever grateful.

And it's over! Pretty sappy, I know, but I don't care! I love sappy stuff! Anyways, a big thank you to you guys. You are truly amazing. Here is my idea for a sequel. Tell me what you think, although I might be slow with it. I have a lot on my plate right now.

Troy and Gabriella are happily married and they have a son. What happens when he is diagnosed with the same disease that almost killed his mother? Will Gabriella blame herself for everything that Troy and Jordan have to go through?

Just an idea. I have to get a story outline/plot going. Tell me what you think! Luv you all!
