Admittedly, I think this one is a bit weird. But I hope you like it.

Rascal Flatts-Here (Requested by WiLdCaTgIrL414)

Troy Bolton stood in the middle of the court, a court where he had spent so many hours—weeks, even—practicing and sweating. So much time fighting for his dream, one that had come and passed, one of the many high points in his life. He turned, staring out at the bleachers. On the far left side, right up near the top railing, was the place where his high school sweetheart had always sat, staring down at him proudly while he was playing, cheering louder than anyone else. They had spent their final happy years here together at East High. Some of the happiest years of his life.

There's a place I've been looking for
That took me in and out of buildings
Behind windows, walls and doors
And I thought I found it
Couple times, even settled down
And I'd hang around just long enough
To find my way back out
I know now the place that I was trying to reach
Was you, right here in front of me

The hallways held many stories. So many shared secrets and stolen kisses were seen in these hallways, before school, in between classes…Occasionally during classes. Troy smiled as he walked along beside their lockers, his fingers trailing along the cold metal. Love notes had been slipped into these lockers. One Valentine’s day, Troy had found a rose sticking out the vent of his locker, a red card attached, with a love-heart and the letter ‘G’ inside.

And I wouldn't change a thing
I'd walk right back through the rain
Back to every broken heart
On the day that it was breakin'
And I'd relive all the years
And be thankful for the tears
I've cried with every stumbled step
That led to you and got me here, right here

The garden, proudly cultured by the science geeks, was still thriving on the rooftop. Troy sat on the bench he and Gabriella had sat on when he had shown her his secret hiding spot. He remembered the way her eyes had shone as she had announced singing with him had reminded her of her kindergarten days. And then there was the time where she had shown him a dance, after he had told her than he was taking her to prom. Just thinking of prom bought back so many memories…Chasing her to her college…Climbing a tree while wearing a tux…Troy shook his head. He had done something crazy things for love.

It's amazing what I let my heart go through
To get me where it got me
In this moment here with you
And it passed me by
God knows how many times
I was so caught up in holding
What I never thought I'd find
I know now, there's a million roads
I had to take
To get me in your arms that way

The music room was next to the library. He had spent so many hours rehearsing in that room. He could remember the first time he set foot in this room with Gabriella, after their callback to the Spring Musical. They had been so nervous, going up against Sharpay and Ryan Evans, the scary drama twins. Surprisingly, they had beaten them—twice as a matter-a-fact. Sharpay hadn’t actually turned out that bad, Troy realized with a grin. She had gotten a degree in performing arts, and then married some really rich guy who had three houses.

And I wouldn't change a thing
I'd walk right back through the rain
Back to every broken heart
On the day that it was breakin'
And I'd relive all the years
And be thankful for the tears
I've cried with every stumbled step
That led to you and got me here, right here

The final stop was at the drama department. He had learnt more about himself within these walls, under the watchful eye of Ms Darbus, than he had at any other time. Aside from Gabriella, Ms Darbus had been the only person who had truly believed in him, really believed that he could make a difference if he just stepped away from the limelight thrown on him from the being the basketball guy.

In a love I never thought I'd get to get to here
And if that's the road
God made me take to be with you
And I wouldn't change a thing
I'd walk right back through the rain
Back to every broken heart
On the day that it was breakin'
And I'd relive all the years
And be thankful for the tears
I've cried with every stumbled step
That led to you and got me here, right here

Troy walked down the steps of East High, all the memories from ten years ago flooding back into his head. To think, after all this time, he was back here again. A giggle caught his attention and he turned around to see his wife and son coming out of the doors. Rikki Bolton ran to his dad, hugging him around the legs, his mother following closely behind, a smile on her face.

And I'd relive all the years
And be thankful for all the tears
I've cried with every stumbled step
That led to you and got me here, right here
Oh, baby-Ooo
Oh, got me here

“Have a nice trip down memory lane?” Gabriella Bolton asked, sliding an arm around her husbands waist. He smiled and kissed her softly on the cheek.

“Yeah,” he whispered. “But you know what’s even better?” She shook her head. “Where all those memories got us. Right here.”
