Fifteen years later, everything has changed. Vanessa has built a new life with her husband, Cole Tucker, and their daughter - a world defined by stability, warmth, and boundaries she's learned to protect. Zac has moved forward too, quietly dating Natalie Rhodes, a poised model who understands fame but has never touched the part of his heart that once belonged to Vanessa. Their past is supposed to stay buried. Until the announcement drops: "High School Musical - 20 Year Reunion. Full Cast Returning." For the first time in fifteen years, Zac and Vanessa will be in the same room - under lights, under pressure, under the weight of everything they never said. Cameras will watch. Fans will hope. Their partners will wonder. And neither Zac nor Vanessa is ready for what seeing each other again will ignite. Because some hearts never forget their first home. Because some love stories don't follow the rules. Because the past doesn't always stay in the past - especially when it was real. Baby, I Loved You First asks the question everyone has been afraid to say out loud: What if the love you left behind... is the one you were always meant to return to?

When Troy Bolton arrived at East High as the new gym teacher, the hallways lit up with a kind of excitement the school hadn't felt in years. He was young, calm, confident, and carried himself with the quiet steadiness of someone who'd lived a little before returning home. But the real shock came when word spread that he'd also be taking over as the new netball coach. Suddenly, tryouts became the center of every lunch‑table conversation. Students who had never cared about sports were scribbling their names onto the sign‑up sheet. Everyone wanted to see what the season might become under Coach Bolton. And in the middle of all that noise stood Gabriella Montez - eighteen, brilliant, soft‑spoken, and stepping into her final year of high school with more questions than answers. She didn't expect to feel anything when she walked into the gym that first morning. She didn't expect the new coach to look up, meet her eyes, and smile with that warm, steady kindness. She didn't expect to feel... seen. Not in a romantic way. Not in a dangerous way. Just in a human way - the way someone notices your potential before you notice it yourself. As the netball season begins, Gabriella finds herself growing in confidence, leadership, and self‑belief - and Troy becomes the mentor who helps her discover her voice. Their connection is built on respect, growth, and emotional resonance, not romance. This is not a forbidden love story. It's a story about becoming, about finding strength, and about the unexpected people who help shape who we grow into. And for Gabriella Montez, that person is Coach Troy Bolton - the man who changed the rhythm of her senior year without ever crossing a line.

Ten years later, she returns. Now she has to prove that she is who she says she is-that she's really Hope. And convincing the everyone won't be the hardest part. Convincing her older brother Alec might be. ----------------------------------- Best ratings: august/2022 - 3 #herondale january/2023 - 1 #alec january/2023 - 1 #izzylightwood january/2023 - 3 #institute May/2023 - 1 #jonathanmorgenstern January/2026 - 3 #jaceherondale January/2026 - 2 #clary January/2026 - 3 #magnus January/2026 - 2 #morgenstern

Harry didn't know what to expect after the war ended but he definitely didn't expect to be filled with such bitterness and emptiness. For the first time in his life, Harry Potter was purposeless. Add in the fact that he had lost the one constant in his life to his best mate, Harry was hellbent on finding a new purpose for his existence. Even if it meant leaving the people he loved behind. Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter nor it's affiliated characters. That honor belongs to J.K Rowling.

"This Cinders girl is just like you!" Dudley snickers as he watches the television. "Dressed in rags, does all the chores, always dirty, and no one wants her. Even her parents are dead!" Later, when Harry lies in bed and stares up at the dusty cobwebs on the cupboard ceiling, he can't help but wonder wearily: "If I'm Cinders, does that mean one day someone will come to save me too?"

"Jace you have to understand that leaving-" "You had a choice. You had a choice and you chose the Clave. You chose the Clave over the people who took you in when you needed it the most." "That's no fair Jace. You and I both know that there's no telling the Clave no." "They gave you time to say goodbye and you ran in the middle of the night. You always run. You ran from us and from Valentine. And you run away from your feelings." Emery left before the war, working with the Clave. After the war she returns back to the New York Institution to her family.

The Angel Raziel punished Clary for creating another rune after she was forbidden to do so. In order to kill her brother, Jonathan, and save the world from his wrath, she had to create a rune. The punishment was that she would lose all her memories of the Shadow World, of her family and friends, but most of all, of her Jace. When she said goodbye to her brother in Toronto and laid him to rest, her first rune disappears, her angelic rune. She does not tell anyone because it is Alec's wedding and she does not want to ruin it. At the reception, Jace takes Clary to the dance floor and starts with a speech that sounds like he is ready to propose to Clary, so she interrupts him by telling him how much she loves him, and after she passionately kisses him, says she needs to get air and leaves him standing on the dance floor. Jace stands there looking at her, feeling that something is off with Clary, and says "I love you too." after her. He decides to look in their room for her and finds a letter telling him of the punishment that the angels gave her, and that she would no longer have her memories of him, but that she would always love him. He falls to the floor and screams out because he has lost her again. He vows that he will love her from afar and will always protect her. What happens when and If Clary regains her memories? What happens when Jace makes a discovery that will forever change Jace and Clary's lives? Jace will have the biggest decision of his life to make. What will he decide? I do not own any of the Mortal Instruments characters.
