Letting Go
Summary-A song-fic. about Gabriella letting go of Troy. I'm a Troyella fan, but my friend made me write this story. It's really sad, but I really like the song.
Don't call me
Don't
write
Don't show up in the middle of the night
You know that
We
needed
Some time and space to breathe
Gabriella would listen to everything he would say to her. She would read his little letters to her, listen to him on the phone before she fell a sleep, and let him in to her home and listen to his lies then too. She would think it was the truth, but as she thought about is she knew it wasn't.
I still recall
the words you said to me
It's what you did not say that sets me
free
Now how can I find peace of mind when you keep coming back
again?
It's okay for you to play this game of seesaw with my head
When
she finally gave up on him, knowing it was just a lie, everything he
said to her, she now remembered him following her trying to tell her
another lie again. She knew he was making it up on the spot. It just
hurt her more knowing her was lying to her. And she knew by his words
that she didn't need him. But he kept coming back, and she couldn't
think. He just wouldn't leave it as it was. He just kept coming,
saying lie after lie, just hurting her more and more. Now
it hurts too much
And it hits too hard
And I won't play this
part
Now she knows not to listen, not to pick up the phone, not to read his little notes, and especially not to open the door to see his face. But the problem was she still wasn't ready to face him. She knew he would just break her. She knew she had to wait until she knew she was ready, ready to tell him they were though and never going back.
Don't call
me
Don't write
Don't show up in the middle of the night
You
know that
We needed
Some time and space to breathe
Gabriella's
phone was sitting on her bedside table ringing. Gabriella sat on her
bed staring at it, knowing it was him calling. She fought back tears,
knowing if she picked up the phone she would just forgive him, but
she knew she couldn't that.
The next day at school she found a note in her locker. She still found back tears even though he would leave a note everyday. She picked up the note and just threw it away. She avoided her friends as much as possible these last few days, not wanting to tell them. She knew if she said it out loud, then it would be true. She wouldn't let herself cry over him again.
That evening, Gabriella's mom was working late. The doorbell rang. She opened the door and, before he could speak, she slammed the door closed. She knew she would have to face him, but just not yet. It was too early to face him.
So now I say the
things I want to say
Sometimes it's better letting go this
way
I'll always know
Down in my soul
We really had so far to
go
I've given all I had to give
And now it's time for me to
live
And I won't look back
And I won't regret
Though hurts
like hell
Someday I will forget
Now
she was ready. She would talk to Taylor and Kelsi. Knowing they would
help her face him the way she wanted to. She told him today, hoping
he would stop the letters, the calls, and especially the nightly
visits, but she didn't care anymore, knowing she could tell him now
was just the satisfaction. She knew letting him go was for the best
because if she let him back in her life he would just hurt her again.
She always knew that she was holding him back or he wanted something
that he couldn't get or something he shouldn't get. Don't
call me It's funny how we seem to end up here
Don't write
Don't show up in the middle of the
night
You know that
We needed
Some time and space to
breathe
I never
thought I'd see this soul disappear
He
still called her, wrote her little letters pleading for her back, and
visiting her knowing she wouldn't open the door. He knew that
whatever they had was over. So, he stopped his calls, letters, and
visits. He stopped trying to get her back. There was no use. He knew
she would never take him back after what he did. And
this is letting go
This is letting go
This is letting go
This
is letting go
