I never thought that my life would turn out the way it did. I mean I love my life but I wish my mother had let me date Troy. The eight years I spent with Troy so far I would never take back. He is the love of my life and something I would never give up. It's been seven years since graduation, and since we went to UCLA. Not long after, Troy asked me to marry him. Of course I said yes, and soon I was Mrs. Bolton. When Troy was done with college he joined the Lakers. A year later I was discovered as a singer and actress. But right now I'm standing outside, knocking on a door. Troy stood next to me and we looked down at our five-year-old girl named Bella. I turned my head to my arms and kissed my one-year-old baby boy, Grant, on the cheek. I heard the locks click on the door and handed Grant to Troy. The door opened, and there were the parents of mine that I haven't seen in eight years. My dad smiled warmly while my mom was shocked. I jumped into my dad's arms and hugged him. When I was done with him, I turned to my mom. She made an attempt to smile and I took her and hugged her tight and she hugged back. I could feel my shoulder damping from tears.
"Mom Dad, please forgive me." I asked.
"Only if you forgive me... I never should have judged Troy, or tried to force you into marriage." My mother spoke up.
"I forgive you." I said.
"Thank you." She said.
"Now will you forgive me for leaving?" I asked.
"Yes…. Yes I will, but never loose tough again." She said… Then she realized that Troy was standing with two little kids. She pointed to them and I nodded.
"Mom Dad, meet Bella and Grant Bolton." I told them. Troy handed my mom Grant, and my dad bent down and shook Bella's hand.
"What are we waiting for let's go inside." My dad said as my mom handed Troy Grant back.
"Come on Bella." I said as she followed me into the house.
"So Bella how old are you?" My dad asked.
"I'm five, and Gwantie is one." Bella told him. I smiled at the two and turned back to my mom.
"Mom, do you want to meet Bella?" I asked. She nodded and I turned to Bella.
"Baby Bella, this is your Grandpa Jude, and this over here is Grandma Marie." I told her.
"Weally? So I do have a Gwandma and Gwandpa?" She asked.
"Yes honey, you do." I said.
"Wait until I tell Gwant!" She yelled running to Grant.
"She's so cute." My mother said.
"Gwant, guess what. We have a Gwandpa and Gwandma!" She said to the baby in Troy's arms.
"I know she's a real cutie." I said.
"She looks like you." My mom said.
"Except her blue eyes." I added.
"I've seen you on TV, but it never mentioned kids." My mom told me.
"Well I always wear a wig and a lot of make up while I'm out with the kids and Troy. They don't even know I've been married for six years." I chuckled at the thought.
"Wow you must be good at keeping your kids from being discovered." She said.
"Well I didn't want you to know about them until we met up in person again." I told her. She smiled and we decided it was time to put the little ones to sleep. Once Troy and I put them in my old room, we went downstairs and talked to my parents about our life after we left. I told them everything. I told them how we got married and how we became famous. Everything from the plane ride to Albuquerque and the plane ride here. My parents fell asleep across from us and Troy sat stroking my hair.
"What are you thinking about baby?" He asked.
"Just how great this is." I told him and kissed him before he fell asleep and I laid my head down on his shoulder just thinking.
Sometimes people regret things, but sometimes everything turns out and you don't go back to the past. I know that if I could change anything, I wouldn't. I went with Troy not knowing he was a millionaire and not knowing what would happened to our relationship or if we would get hurt. I took a risk and I wouldn't have it any other way because I'm here with my parents, my wonderful husband, and my two darling children right now and I don't know where I would be if I would have married Jeremy. I know now I will be with the one I love for the rest of my life, Troy Bolton the stranger on my doorstep that eventually became the love of my life.
I gently closed my eyes and awaited the next chapter of my life with my parents in it again.
Sequel? R&R!
