You Were Smiling
Episode 1
"Troy, stop it!" I said while he was tickling me.
"No!"
"I didn't do anything!" I said, while I was laughing.
"Yes you did! You looked too beautiful" he said, and stopped tickling me.
"I look beautiful?"
"Yeah, of course you do." He said and gave me his famous smile.
"You've just never told me that before" I said and smiled at him.
"Well, I thought it was time to tell you"
"Thanks then…" I said and blushed a little.
"There's actually something I want to talk to you about" he said with a nervous voice.
"Ok, what's up?"
"I've been thinking lately. We've been best friends as long as I can remember, and I have so many memories with you that I'll never forget" he stopped talking.
"You're ok, Troy?" I said with a worried voice.
"Yeah, it's just that I really like you"
"I really like you too, Troy. I've always loved you, you've been like my brother my whole life."
"Yeah… I just think I…" stop talking and stares at my bedside table.
"What are you staring at?"
"What's this?" takes a picture from my bedside table.
"Oh, I just found it yesterday and… Yeah…" I look at the picture that Troy has in his hand.
"You remember that day?" he asks and smiled at me.
"Yeah, we were at the park with our parents, how could I forget?" I said and gave him a huge smile.
"Yeah, I remember how you were trying to kiss me all the time" he smiled, but I blushed and looked at the picture.
You could see I was looking at him, while he was smiling at the camera.
"We had so much fun back then" he said and putted the picture back at my bedside table.
"Yeah we did, and we still do… So what was it you were trying to say?" I said and smiled at him, but I could see his smile faded.
"Well, it's about how much I like you, and I think it's more than as friends…" He looked away; I think he was afraid for my answer.
"Really?" I said. He was still looking away, but I touched his cheek and made him look at me.
"Yeah. We just spend so much time together and…" He stopped talking.
Suddenly his body started to fade away, and then his face. I could see his shinning blue eyes, but then they faded into black too. Before I knew it my room became a dark empty room.
"Gabriella…" His voice faded, and I was alone.
"Troy?" I looked around, but he was gone.
"Gabriella…" my mother said, while she was trying to wake me.
I opened my eyes slowly.
"You had a dream again?"
"Mom, I think he's trying to tell me something" she looked at me like I was crazy.
"Honey, they said he wouldn't be able to survive out there alone, he's gone, ok?" she touched my hair and flipped it behind my ear.
"He's not dead! Stop saying he is when he isn't!" I got out of bed and went to my mirror. My mom was sitting on the bed looking at me brushing my hair.
"Gabriella, you have to realize that he's not coming back" she sighed.
"Just forget it, and leave me alone!" My mom left my room.
I went to the bathroom and took a shower…
