This is such a late update :( I'm sure you guys hate me for it and you probably wanna kill me for leaving you with a cliffhanger but hey, I'm back(: I think the reason why I haven't been updating is cause I've been concentrating on school and my Asian Fanfics. Moreover it's cause I'm holding myself back from writing a Zanessa fanfic cause I'm crushed. Writing a fanfic about Zanessa makes me sad. Well, I realized that the only place where Zanessa & Troyella can keep living together is in a fanfiction. So, here it is guys, the chapter you've been waiting for ^^
Also my writing has improved (:
"Don't go..."
Troy looked at Teodora, shocked. He looked at Gabriella, smirked and left.
"She made that kid lie huh?" Troy shook his head trying to think that Teodora just lied for Gabriella. "My job's more important, that guy, whoever he is, he's back. I can't hold Brie and her kids back from the man that's supposed to be in their family."
Then he left, just like that. He left his everything behind. His Gabriella, his love. All Troy wanted was his job but his heart wants him to go back to Gabriella. If the kids' dad weren't back, Troy wouldn't have left. Troy was confused. He wants his job, he wants Gabriella. If he went back to Gabriella, it would be useless, Gabriella has her man. Even if she doesn't, he'd lose his job.
Teodora hugged her mother, crying her heart out silently. Tyler was a tad bit confused. Gabriella got on her knees and hugged her kids.
"Troy, is... our daddy?" he asked. Gabriella just nodded. "Then why did he leave?" Tyler asked again. "I hate him!" Tyler let go of his mother and ran up to his room which Troy gave him for his stay at Troy's.
"Tyler..." Gabriella called out, her voice breaking. Tyler is a very vulnerable child, really sensitive. When he's hurt, it will stay will scar his heart. Gabriella brought Teodora to the couch, deciding to let Tyler calm down.
Tyler sat on his bed and looked at the photos of him and Troy that Gabriella took, pinned on his wall. He stood up and ran to those photos and tore them off his wall, aggressively. He then took his basketball on his side table and threw it out of the window. He opened the doors of his closet. He pushed his clothes away and saw the Wildcat jersey and reached up for it. Tyler threw it into his bin.
Troy stepped into his huge house in LA. He imagined Teodora greeting him with a hug and Tyler running up to him, sweaty from playing basketball. He imagined Gabriella giving him a kiss upon his arrival but the house was empty. Troy sighed and went up to his room.
He put up photos of Gabriella, him and her kids which he brought from Albuquerque.
"I miss them already," he spoke to himself. Troy laid on his bed and fell into deep sleep.
The next day.
Troy woke up and took a shower. He got dressed and drove his Audi to the gym.
"Bolton!" his team mates greeted. Troy just smiled.
"You're finally back, we haven't been playing well without you man." Dave said while the rest agreed.
"Nice to see you Bolton," Coach greeted.
"You too, Coach." Troy said.
"You came at the wrong time, we just finished practice." Coach said. The team nodded.
"Let's go eat!" the team suggested. "Join us?"
"Nah, I'll pass. I gotta stay and practice." Troy turned down their offer.
"Well, okay." the team left with Coach.
Troy stayed and shot some hoops. Suddenly, someone tapped him. Troy turned around.
"Oh, it's you..." Troy said.
"Aren't you happy to see me?" Amber pouted.
"Sorry, no." Troy showed a small smile.
"Then what are you back for?" Amber asked.
"I don't know..." Troy stopped dribbling the ball.
"Didn't my daddy ask you to get back with me?" Amber asked.
"He did,"
"So, do you want to lose your job?" Amber frowned.
"It doesn't matter, I already lost the most important thing to me." Troy threw the ball into the hoop but missed.
"You really love that maid don't you?" Amber asked, feeling guilty.
"Of course I do," Troy starts to tear up.
"Then why'd you leave?" Amber sympathized him. Troy looked at her weirdly. "What, do I have something on my face?" Amber panicked.
"No, why are you suddenly... different?" Troy asked.
"Well, she seems really important to you. In life, you can't always get what you want. Especially since you and her have a speacial thing. Yeah, I'm jealous but... I can't change your feelings." Amber smiled. Troy smiled and gave Amber a hug.
"Thanks, Amber." "but, now... it's no use if I went back. The father of Gabriella's kids are back. I'd be an extra." Troy sighed.
"Oh? They're not your child?" Amber raised her eyebrow.
"Uh, no? Why would you think that?"
"Well, they look very much like you so, I thought...oh..." Amber paused.
"What?" Troy asked.
He doesn't know he's the dad... I want to help them, but, how? Damn, this guy is really clueless. Amber thought.
"Amber?" Troy interrupted her thoughts.
"Huh? Oh, nothing." Amber shook her head. "I have to get going, goodbye Troy." Amber smiled and left.
"She's weird..." Troy chuckled. "she's a good friend."
Sharpay entered Troy's house with Taylor. They saw Gabriella sitting on the couch, depressed.
"Gabi..." Sharpay called out. Gabriella looked at Sharpay and gave her a weak smile. "Oh my, Gabi..." Sharpay went over ang hugged Gabriella. Taylor joined in.
"Are you okay, honey?" Taylor asked. Gabriella nodded.
"I need to be, for my kids..." Gabriella looked over at her daughter who had tear stains on her face, asleep.
"He's such a bastard," Sharpay hissed. "hasn't he hurt you enough?" "I swear, the next time I see that guy, I'm gonna slice up his balls!" Sharpay cursed.
"No, that's not that painful. Step on it with our high heels!" Taylor suggested. Gabriella smiled. Her friends are the best.
"I love you girls so much," Gabriella hugged them.
"We love you too, Gabs." Taylor said.
"Of course you do," Sharpay hugged her back. Taylor rolled her eyes while Gabriella laughed.
"Where's Chad and Zeke?" Gabriella asked. Sharpay looked at Taylor.
"They said that they were going to do some 'activities' but I don't know what the heck they meant," Taylor answered. Gabriella nodded.
"How's the kids taking it?" Sharpay asked. Gabriella sighed.
"Badly," she answered.
Troy's doorbell rang. He went downstairs to open it.
"Chad, Zeke?" Troy was surprised. "What are you guys doing here?"
"Well, we wanted to see how you were doing." Zeke answered.
"Oh," Troy said. "come on in." he invited the both of them in. Zeke and Chad walked in.
"Nice place," Zeke complimented.
"Thanks," Troy smiled. "I was gonna shoot some hoops. Join me?" Troy asked.
"I'm in, how bout' you Chad?" Zeke said.
"I'm in," Chad answered plainly.
They spent a few minutes playing until Zeke asked Troy, "Aren't you coming back to Albuquerque?"
"I don't know man, everything I want is here. I got my job back, I got my home." Troy answered.
"It looks like you forgot what home is," Chad said.
"What?" Troy asked.
"What else do you have here? Family, friends?" Chad asked sarcastically.
"Look man, I do have friends here. In fact, my friends here appreciate me." Troy answered back angrily.
"Correction, for your talent and money. They don't know Troy from Albuquerque, they know that asshole Troy from LA." Chad raised his voice.
"What's up with you man?" Troy pushed Chad.
"What's up with me? There's nothing wrong with me. Everything that's wrong is you! You left Gabriella and your kids back at your hometown just like that and you can still act like everything's alright?" Chad yelled.
"My kids? Great, looks like Gabriella told you to lie too." Troy smirked and shooked his head. Zeke furrowed his eyebrows.
"Gabs didn't tell us anything Troy, we know everything cause all of us were there to see what was going on when you left 6 years ago!" Zeke said angrily but calmly. Troy's expression changed.
"Graduation night, god knows what you two did." Zeke said.
"You got her pregnant and then you left her without knowing," Chad continued.
"Look, they couldn't be my kids." Troy said.
"Really? They're 6 years old for god's sake! Did you use protection that night? No, cause you gave it to Zeke! How many times have people told you the twins look like you?" Chad shouted. Troy fell onto his knees.
"I'm so blind..." he said softly. He ran into his house. Chad and Zeke looked at each other and ran to chase Troy.
3rd November
Gabriella did her best to make her kids smile. She did everything she could but they're not smiling even a bit.
"Dora, Ty... it's your birthday today. You have to put on a smile for the guests." Gabriella said in a slow tone. Tyler kept on frowning while Teodora looked at Gabriella sadly and nodded. Gabriella sighed and left the room.
"Ty, we shouldn't make it difficult for mommy you know..." Teodora frowned at her twin brother.
"Fine," Tyler stopped frowning.
The both of them got dressed and then went downstairs, smiling weakly at Gabriella.
"I won't make it hard for you, mom." Tyler said while Teodora nodded in agreement. Gabriella hugged them.
"Wait," she looked down at them. "since when do you call me 'mom'?" Gabriella raised her eyebrow, asking Tyler.
"Well, cause you're my mother and I'm your son?" Tyler joked. Gabriella shook her head as Teodora laughed. "Well, I'm a big boy now. 'Mommy' is for little boys and girls, like Dora." Tyler said.
"Hey!" Teodora yelled. "I'm 5 minutes older than you!" Gabriella laughed.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you~. Happy birthday Dora and Tyler~... happy birthday to you~!" the Bolton parents, Maria, Sharpay, Taylor, Kelsie and Jason sang. Teodora and Tyler blew the candles on the cake.
"Yay!" Everyone cheered. Teodora looked at everyone's faces. Troy was missing. She looked down sadly.
The doorbell rang.
"Hey guys," Chad and Zeke greeted.
"Hey, birthday twins. Sorry we're late. We were just getting your present." Chad smiled. Troy walked in.
"Hey you two..." Troy smiled weakly at the twins who were very surprised. Everyone was, especially Gabriella. "daddy's here." he cried. The twins ran to him and hugged him tightly. Gabriella cried at the sight of Troy and her kids. Troy let them go and walked over to Gabriella. "I'm sorry, I'm such a stupid guy... I..." Gabriella cut his words with a kiss. "How can you still love me after what I did?" Troy asked.
"It's cause I love you," Gabriella answered simply.
"I love you too," Troy smiled. "and you two."
"We love you daddy," Teodora and Tyler hugged Troy and Gabriella.
