Gabriella's POV
It's been a week now and spending it with Troy has been so much fun. Probably the most fun I've had in a long time. Unfortunately, that fun is over now, and now it's time for the most dreaded of events....school. I couldn't be more terrified. I haven't spoke once since I found out about my laryngitis. I was terrified to find out if I even could speak anymore. What if no words came out ? What if I never spoke again ? What if, what if....what if Troy breaks up with me because I can't speak anymore ? I shuddered at the thought as my heart weakened. Would he really do that ? No ! He wouldn't! There's no way ! But what if he did ? Would I be alone forever ? Suddenly I started hyperventilating. Almost instantly Troy rushed to my side. He took my hand and squeezed it gently as a reassuring grip.
"Hey, hey, shhh, shhh, Gabriella? Sweetie, what's wrong?" He asked soothingly. I slowly started to regain my breath as he placed his hand on my back. He watched me with carful eyes as I got up to grab my notebook and pencil, hopefully for the last time. He watched as I wrote something. I handed it to him as a worried glance spread across his face. He took my hand and walked me into the living room. We both sat down on the couch as he let out a big sigh. I became just as concerned. What was wrong ? What was he doing ? What did I do ? Suddenly Troy shook me from my thoughts. He re-read back to me what I wrote.
"It's time ? A-Are you sure ?" He asked slowly. I nodded and began to write again. He began reading anxiously as I wrote.

Yes, Troy, it's time. I need to know. I can't live like this anymore. I can't keep locking all of my feelings inside anymore, all because I can't speak. I just can't anymore. I can't... I can't loose you...

Troy looked up into my eyes with confusion. I just sat there, waiting for a reaction.
" You can't loose me ? Where is this coming from ? " He whispered gently. I sighed and scribbled on the paper once more.

Troy, what if I never get my voice back again? What if you don't want anything to do with me anymore because I can't talk ?

Troy laughed softly and kissed my forehead. "Gabby," " You know I wouldn't do that. I love you way too much to ever let something as stupid as that split us up. I'll admit, I miss hearing your sweet voice, but I don't care, all of that means nothing. What's most important to me, is that I have you. It's just you and me, and that's all I need. Gabriella, I love you so much, and please believe me when I say that there's nothing that anyone can ever say or do to make that change. You mean the world to me, and I will never stop loving you. " He lifted my chin and looked me in the eyes. "Do you understand ?" He asked sweetly and gently. I nodded with soft, wet tears in my eyes.

I do. I really do Troy. I love you too.

Troy wiped my eyes and kissed my nose. I smiled softly.

I'm ready Troy.

Troy's POV
Gabriella just sat there, staring at me with her gorgeous sparkling brown eyes. The truth was, I was nervous. I didn't know what was about to happen. If I took her to the doctor, what would happen if the results weren't as expected. It would break Gabriella's heart. I couldn't bare knowing she would never make another sound again. It was all becoming too much for me to handle. I got up and walked into my room, leaving Gabriella all alone.
