One-shot
Gabriella's POV
He left me, this one day. He yelled at me. Eric had always been jealous of my friendship with him. I stress friendship because that's all it was.
"I can't trust you anymore. You're always with him." He yelled one day.
"He's my friend. What am I supposed to do, ignore him?" I shot back.
"Are you sure he's just your friend? Are you sure there's nothing more?" He argued and I stood quiet, not knowing what to say.
"I want a divorce." He said softly and my eyes brimmed with tears. I knew it had to end but I still didn't want it to. I raced towards the door but he grabbed my wrist turning me to him.
"You're going to him aren't you?" His eyes flashed first with sadness then with anger as I nodded.
"No!" He shouted and I tried to pull out of his grasp.
"You never gave him a chance." I told him struggling.
"Why should I give my wife's ex boyfriend a chance?" He said harshly.
"I think you're jealous because he's always there for me when you are working." I cringed knowing I had gone too far as he slapped me. I immediately turned out of his grip and raced out the door to my car.
Looking back, I saw him shut the door and drove fast away. I knew immediately where I was going. I flipped the radio on singing through my tears. I saw my turn and swerved around a bunch of cars, pulling into the driveway. Running up the stairs to the door, I pounded on it for a minute. It swung open and I threw my arms around him, kissing him fiercely on the lips for the first time, knowing this was where I belonged. He kissed me on the head knowing right away what had happened.
"Oh Gabby." Troy whispered in my ear, holding me close as I cried freely; glad to finally be in his arms.
