Epilogue

Graduation day was around, Troy stood looking at his husband with a smile on his lips, they had made it, four years and they were leaving for what would be the last time, he could hear Chuckie down stairs and Nick they were laughing and chatting as Troy and Ryan moved about.

"I'm going to go talk to them." Troy said Ryan nodded his head.

"You think they'll take it?" Ryan asked Troy shrugged he didn't honestly know.

"I don't know." Troy said to him before leaving the room he headed down into the kitchen where the other two were currently washing something up. "Hey guys can I talk to you for a moment." Troy said to them both they stopped and looked at him with a smile on there lips.

"Sure." Chuckie said to him.

"Ryan and I have been discussing the house, as you know we are moving to Washington next week." Troy said to them both.

"When would you like us to move out." Chuckie asked.

"Actually we don't, as long as you want it you can use this place as a home." Troy said to him Chuckie stared. "Now I know you wouldn't take the house as a present, so you can use this place for as long as you like your never have to pay rent or anything like that." he said to them Chuckie nodded.

"We'd like that." Chuckie said to him Troy nodded.

"Are you sure about this?" Nick asked him.

"As sure as I can be." Troy said to him.

"I don't know what comes next in our lives but you know what I don't care." Troy said to them they laughed.

"Troy Bolton." the man called Troy looked at Ryan before he made his way to the podium when he got to it the man shook his hand. "Congratulations Troy, good luck with your job in Washington." the man said to him shaking his hand as he handed him his diploma of sorts.

"Thank you sir." Troy said to him he turned his head so that his parents could take a photo of him from where they were.

"You have to say some words to your class as the head of the class." the man said to him Troy laughed as he stepped up to the podium he was the last person to get what he needed from the man who sat back down to watch.

"Four years of seeing the same faces day in day out, I am finally rid of you all, That's got to be a victory for me right." Troy asked their were people laughing around the seating area Ryan smiled at him from where he stood. "I don't know honestly what will come next for us all, as we go our separate ways in life we make our own way out into the world. Maybe I'll see you all on the hill in a couple of years. I want to be serious just for a moment, I know that's mad coming from me but don't shoot me for it okay. We started out together as a group of freshman and as the graduating class of 2011 we did some wild and wacky stuff, I don't just take away a degree but I take friends away with me, I look among the crowd today and unlike four years ago when I started here, when I didn't know any of you, I feel like I have a bigger family. We have four years in this place behind us and I know there are a couple of people here that will be back next term to do something even more insane than this, thank you all not just for fun and the arguments but for the memories." Troy said as he stood silent the crowd applauded Troy stood back from the podium before heading back to his seat.

THE END

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hey to you all, wow I didn't really think I'd finish it so soon, but Chad's death seemed a good enough place as any to finish, I had so much fun writing this story, their were tears and laughter as I wrote this story.

I decided to close this story while it was still good to me anyway.

100000 words over and out 22 chapters as well.

I am working on fresh material to all of those who will be waiting, I don't honestly know when it will be on here, but I guess it will be when its ready for you all to read. So I have just one more plea before I leave and that is this. Please review the story.

Lots off love to you all
