Note: Authors Note at the Bottom.
You were the one
That I couldn't find
Hidden away
In the ups of my mind
I remember how Troy and I finally got reconnected. It was when Bradin and I were determined to be anywhere but Playa Linda. I don't know, I'd just gone so many years without seeing him. I know I couldn't find him anywhere. But I could always find him in my mind. I would write poetry or sometimes just plain writing about him. I felt as if it was the only way that I could speak to him.
Through my writing. But I never thought that I'd have to write a song about us breaking up.
Why did I let you go
You're to good to be true
I messed it up and now I don't know what to do
We ran in circles and wasted time
From right to wrong
From right to wrong
If I knew that you were mine
I wouldn't have wasted time
I wish I could erase the past
Now its all collapsed
In my lap
When Troy and I had finally gotten back together, we both decided that we wouldn't let the long distance issue get between us.
When Troy moved back to Albuquerque after visiting me, I called him everyday. He would visit me every other weekend, the rest for me to come visit him. I always found time for him.
Until my writing sort of got into the way, I entered a contest again for my writing. Thank god I had no Amber there to drunk me up a bit. That didn't go to well last time.
Anyway, when I finally figured I won the contest I remember that I hadn't called Troy in a week! That being the fact that I was too stressed about my writing. I called him that night and he flipped out on me.
He didn't exactly seem like himself. I guess because he doesn't get mad at me often ever since we got back together.
When we were young, everybody knew that we were two drama filled teens who just fought all the time…but would always come back.
But I'm so scared that this time it wouldn't be that way. That I will never see Troy the same way again.
When he told me that I spent way too much thinking about myself and not enough about the other people around me, God, I don't know what I felt.
If only I knew then what I know now.
That it was just another one of our stupid little fights. Because I broke up with him.
I, Nikki Westerly, broke up with Troy Bolton over some stupid little fight. Now, our relationship is over and it's completely my fault. I love him.
I over thought
So I locked up my heart yeah
There you stood
You're blue eyes hidden underneath your hurt
Nothing is ever going to change that either. Whether I have to let this go now or get him back, he will always remain a part of me.
I don't know if our stupid little fights are just a sign of us not being together or what…but I know that I'm sick and tired of fighting with the one whom I love dearly. I don't know how to get him back, it's times like these that I want to be in Albuquerque, just me and him. Not having a clue in the world of where we would be in a week's time, not having a care in the world.
Flashback
Nikki felt a cold hand gently grasp her wrist. The blonde teenager turned to see a tall figure towering over her. He was dressed in a navy blue hoodie and a dark blue jean jacket over it. His hood hid his eyes and everything above it. He also wore a pair of baggy blue jeans and white sneakers. He held the handle of a red umbrella, resting it on his shoulder. An expression of confusion plagued Nikki's face as she looked up at the stranger.
"Um, hey…"
"It's me," he whispered, slightly lifting his hood to show her that it was Troy. Quickly he pulled his hood back down and folded his arms over his chest. Nikki just giggled, feeling stupid. She still didn't understand why he was wearing his hood inside. "I'm incognito."
"Yeah, I got that," Nikki replied with a smile. Smiling was contagious around him. "The thing I don't understand is…why exactly are you incognito?" Troy shifted his eyes from left to right for a moment before turning his gaze back onto the floor.
"I'll explain in a second," Troy whispered through gritting teeth. A gang of giggly girls came by and Troy tried to hide his face even more. Nikki just grinned, finding the whole situation very entertaining. She understood. It was the Troy Bolton fanclub. "Quick, Nikki, yell 'hi Cameron' and hug me. I think that girl with the pigtails is getting suspicious."
"No way," Nikki said, shaking her head with a smirk on her face. "I think it'd be rather amusing, watching you trying to outrun a bunch of Troy-crazy teenage girls." Nikki glanced over at the group of girls dressed in red and white. Troy was right. The one with the pigtails was staring at them.
"Nikki…"
"Cameron, oh my goodness, it's so good to see you!" Nikki shouted, trying her best to sound super enthusiastic. Troy rolled his eyes at how fake she sounded. Nikki nearly tackled him when she jumped up and wrapped her arms around his neck. Troy wrapped his arms around Nikki's slender stomach and twirled her in a circle. The two laughed and Nikki even popped her foot like in the movies.
"I think they're gone," Nikki whispered into his ear. She was slightly surprised when Troy didn't drop her onto the floor. Nikki shifted so that she was looking up at him, into his light blue eyes. "Nikki saves the day…"
"I'll repay the favor one day," Troy replied as he loosened his grip on her until they were no longer touching. He dug his hands deep into his pockets as the two made their way pass the front door and outside the gym. Troy opened his red umbrella and held it over the two of them as they began to walk down the sidewalk.
"Well, when you return the favor, I want you in proper attire," Nikki warned.
Flashback Over
Why did I let you go
You're to good to be true
I messed it up and now I don't know what to do
We ran in circles and wasted time
From right to wrong
From right to wrong
If I knew that you were mine
I wouldn't have wasted time
I wish I could erase the past
Now its all collapsed
In my lap
I grabbed my MP3 player, coat, and water bottle and headed for the door. I yelled to Aunt Ava that I would be out for a bit and she found enough time to tear away from fighting with Johnny and ask me a few questions:
"Where are you going at 8 PM, Nikki? If your going to beach, I wouldn't find any luck there, it's raining." Aunt Ava gave me a warm smile. Confusion swiped over my face as I looked out the window. How could it be raining? It never rained Playa Linda unless it's April.
Odd.
I sighed heavily and set down my stuff. Nothing I wished to happen at that moment couldn't seem to be granted. I snorted and said under my breath, "It would be so much easier talking to Amber…or even better, Jay."
I grabbed my phone on my desk and dialed the phone number for the first time in the past few days of Troy. I sure hope he picks up.
After a few rings I heard Troy's answering machine: "Hey babay! I'm not home right now. The ladies want me and I want you! Chyaa!" After that, it stated to play the song Daddy's Little Girl by Jesse McCartney. And I thought only my brother put that on his answering machine.
I hoped he would have picked up. Sadly he didn't….I've really messed this up.
Wish I could erase the past
Wish I could bring you back
I thought about him all night. How was I supposed to not? He was everything to me, and to just forget all about him for a week is just completely insane of me. Everybody knew we were crazy for each other. Even Gabriella. Even…Gabriella. Now we're just done and it's all my fault.
If I knew that you were mine
I wouldn't have wasted time
I wish I could erase the past
Now its all collapsed
In my lap
If I knew that you were mine
I wouldn't have wasted time
I wish I could erase the past
Now its all collapsed
In my lap
Aunt Ava ran up to my room with Bradin and Derrik right behind her smiling. I looked up at her and smiled, "What are you all so giddy about?"
"Someone is here to see you!" Derrik chimed in. The confused look swiped over my face again and I got up to run past the three and look to see who was there.
When I got downstairs, he was standing right by the door. I smiled softly and walked towards him slowly observing him. Troy was wearing a tux with black leather shoes. Complete with a tie. I was confused yet again.
"What are you wearing?" I asked sweetly.
"Proper attire." He stated simply.
"Wait what?" I asked, the two us just inches apart from the lips.
"I'm returning your favor."
I smiled again and kissed him on the lips. Words spoke through that kiss. Everything I've ever felt for Troy Cameron Bale was in that kiss. That kiss is was reassured me over again that he was in love with me.
"How did you know?" I asked when we had pulled apart.
"Well, nobody knows you like I do Nikki Westerly."
Let's Rant
This oneshot is inspired by Forever Summer and dedicated to Jaydat and her amazing fanfiction, as promised.
The song used was Collapsed by Aly and Aj. I took out the bridge in the song because it didn't fit for the story.
I most likely won't continue this, but if I do and I get suggested to, then I might when I finish a few more fics.
Read and review and I will really try to reply!!
Oh, and to clear it up, just in case you didn't get it, the favor he returned was not making her say I'm sorry and going to her instead of her going for him. I was going to end a different way. If you'd like me to, I'll post the sucky alternate ending, or I'll PM it to you. Your pick. : )
Sharpay xoxo
