Hey! I wrote this when I was listening to my music, again! Hope you like it.
Twenty two year old Troy Bolton sat on his bed staring at the windows. Rain was falling down hard, you could barely hear if someone was talking. But it was only him, him and his thoughts.
He had been playing basketball with his best friend Chad when the topic switched to high school. Then it went to him and his girlfriend, Gabriella. He hadn't thought of her since graduation.
He had broken up with her, a week before graduation; his father had gotten him paranoid. IT may sound like a pathetic excuse but it was true
Sound of the rain on the roof of my car
It haunts me in my sleep
Passengers' side wearing that red scarf
That I got you for our anniversary
That's where you sat when you said to me
You think that space is what you need
Time to decide where you wanna be
So now every time that it rains
Flashback
"So Troy, gotten any letter from the colleges," his father asked him walking into his room. Troy rolled his eyes, his father had been asking for weeks. With the letters that colleges and universities sent they also went the scholarship letters.
"No not yet," he replied in a monotone.
"Don't worry, they'll come, if they're smart. You know, you've been hanging out with Gabi a lot lately," Jack said. Troy sat up from his position on his bed.
"What do you mean. Of course I'm spending time with her, she's my girlfriend, has been for two years," Troy said holding his stuffed basketball under his arm.
"Yeah, I know it's just what if you two don't get into the same colleges? I mean what if she wants to go somewhere else and leaves. Don't get me wrong, I like her, love her like a daughter, but what if," his dad asked. Troy looked at him like he was crazy. "I know that look but just consider it." His father said.
"No, that won't happen. We promised to go to the University of Albuquerque together," Troy said thinking back to their promise. "She wouldn't do that to me," he added.
"I wouldn't be so sure. Maria was telling me how she was so excited when she got into Harvard. She was jumping up and down, she even tried to make cookies," Jack said.
"Oh," Troy said. His father patted him knee and walked out leaving his confused son.
Troy broke up with her a week later. They were both heart broken and everyone was shocked. Troy got into U of A and so did Gabi but she didn't go there. She was planning to but after Troy had broken up with her she went to Harvard instead.
Troy always thought that his father was right about her, but he would always feel lonely.
I get lonely
I begin to miss your touch
I get lonely
Start to reminisce a lots
I get lonely
As if rain isn't sad enough
Every time it starts to rain on me
I get lonely
Troy remembered when there wa this huge storm and she had called him up telling him that her mom was out of town and she was scared.
Flashback
Troy ran to the door covering his coat covered head. It didn't do much. He rang the doorbell but no one answered so he used the spare key that was under a plant on the side of the porch.
"Gabi," he called when he got in. She wasn't downstairs so he ventured upstairs where he found her huddled up in a ball on her bed. "Hey," he whispered.
She lifted her head a little and smiled. He walked over and took her in his arms. "Thanks for coming," she whispered. He nodded and held her until the storm was over, stroking her hair.
"Sorry about making you come over here," she said sitting up. He sat up along side her and smiled.
"IT was no problem, I'm always happy to help," he said.
They continued to talk into the night, about anything and everything, but college. They eventually fell asleep together forgetting about the storm
You had a smile like summertime A sudden change in the weather
And hair like a gentle breeze
You are no longer with me
You wanted space i gave the universe
You wanted time I gave eternity
Tears of the sky remind me of the hugs
So now every time that it rains
How was she doing now? What was she doing now? Thoughts that ran through his head. Taylor had told Chad who told Troy that Gabriella had moved back but only she'd seen her.
But Taylor had told Chad that she had gotten an apartment near where he was living. Chad knew more but wouldn't say anything and at that time Troy was glad.
Chad and Taylor were engaged and were getting married soon. They had both gone to U of A with Troy and the rest of the gang, except Gabriella.
Troy still remembered her number. Maybe she hadn't changed it, of course she had. Maybe Taylor would give him her number. Troy decided to take a chance and ask Taylor. He would decide later if he was actually going to call.
He picked up his land line and was met by nothing. The line was dead. 'Cell phone, cell phone,' Troy thought looking for his phone. He searched his whole apartment but couldn't find it.
'I left it in the car,' he remembered to himself. He grabbed his jacket just incase it was cold and walked out.
I get lonely
I begin to miss your touch
I get lonely
Start to reminisce a lots
I get lonely
As if rain isn't sad enough
Every time it starts to rain on me
I get lonely
Wicked memories (wicked memories)
Playing with my mind (playing with my mind)
Leaves me mentally solitarily confined
You took a part of me
And I am not the same
Constantly reminded by the rain
The good thing about his apartment building was that the parking garage was connected and he didn't have to go outside at all. Troy walked out to the elevator and pushed the down button.
The elevator appeared a minute later. Another woman was standing inside holding a pizza box that still had some food left over. Troy's stomach growled at the thought of food, he hadn't had dinner yet.
They stood in silence until the elevator suddenly stopped in the middle of the third and fourth floor.
"What was that," he asked. She shrugged and pulled her hat father down her face.
Five minutes later a voice came over the speaker phone "I'm very sorry but the elevator is broken, sadly no one will come out in this weather. We will try our best to get to out as soon as possible but for now please stay calm.
The woman slid down the wall she was leaning on and sat on the ground. Troy did the same thing on the opposite wall.

Troy had never seen this woman before. Then again he hasn't even really seen her at all yet. But he could tell that she had a small petite frame, but wasn't too small. That was all he could figure out though. Her face was hidden by the cap on her head.
The sounds of the storm were non existent in the elevator because it was in the middle of the building. Looking over at the pizza box next to her, his stomach growled again.
"Want some," the woman asked. He recognized that voice.
"Gabriella," he asked. She looked down and hid her face in her jacket. He slowly got up and walked over to where she was. "Gabi," he asked again, softly. He reached down and grabbed the cap on her head. As he pulled it up her brown locks of hair fell down her back.
"Hi Troy," she said looking up at him for the first time in four years.
What do you think? Please review. I'm not sure when the next chapter is going to e up, hopefully soon.
