Summary: "You never called or text me" "I know" "Why?" "Because I didn't want to hurt you." She rolled her eyes. Starting college was hard but she didn't think falling back in love with him would make things eaisier. Sequel to A Summer With Troy Bolton
When you've read this chap please review!
Enjoy!
"Gabi! Hurry up and get your fat ass down here!" Chad's voice rang through the house. "We're going to be late!" I groaned and pulled on a pair of black ugg boots. Today I was wearing a short denim skirt that I knew Chad would complain about and a pink top. I grabbed my cell phone and purse and looked at my bedroom. It was so bare. I shook my head and closed the window. As I walked down the stairs I saw my dad and Chad getting together the last things. Chad and I were finally going to college. And yes, we still live in England. I haven't seen Troy at all in the past two years, I don't even know where in the world he is. Chad and I have been staying with our dad for the past week so it would be easier to get to the college site rather that going straight there, plus we got to spend some time with the rest of the family.. "Oh, there you are" Chad smiled when he saw me "You ready to go?"
I sighed "Yeah.." I was about to say something more when the house phone rang. I frowned and picked it up "Hello?"
"Heyy Gabs!" Sharpay exclaimed
I pulled the phone away from me ear as Sharpay continued screaming down the phone. "Hi Shar" I smiled, she hasn't changed at all, still the same bubbly person I know and love "What's up?"
"I was just wondering if your ready" She told me "Me and Ryan are, if we leave together we can get there at the same time"
I nodded...then I realised she couldn't see me. I felt so stupid. "Yeah we're ready, that sounds great"
"Okay, I'll see you in a couple of minutes" Sharpay exclaimed. She was so excited about going to college and had been talking about it all week...not scrap that, all year.
After I hung up I helped Chad put our bags into the trunk of his car and we said goodbye to Dad and our brothers. I was going to miss them, so much. I started to cry as Lucas brought me into his arms "Sis, it'll be okay, we'll see you at the weekend"
"I..I just love you guys so much" I stated to choke on my tears and my eldest brother rubbed my back as Sharpay and Ryan arrived. I pulled away from Lucas. "Bye guys"
"Bye!" Everyone called as Chad and I said hello to the other two and climbed into the car.
I put my head on the window as we came to the end of the street. "It's going to fine Elle, you'll love college. You'll forget why you were upset when get settled in"
Sighed I turned the radio up, I knew Chad was right but I wasn't in a hurry to admit it. If I did, he would just be making fun of me all day and I really don't need that.
The ride of college was only an hour or so. We were going to U of A. Dad had decided to buy us an apartment so we wouldn't have to go back and fourth everyday. I stepped out of Chad's car and looked at the school in front of me. Oh and I didn't say earlier, I'm not bringing my car to college, because well I don't have one. I did but I had a sort of...accident.
Flashback
I angrily drove down the roads of London, why did he have to say that? Stupid Chad Danforth and the stupid words he shouldn't have said. Why the hell did he have to bring Troy up in our perfectly fine conversation? That idiot. I haven't see Troy in ages. I can't believe Chad! I hate him! "Ahh! Come on!" I screamed as a learner drove out in front of me "Hurry up! Stupid learner, learn to drive faster!"
That was when it happened, I drove through a red light and turned the corner. My car collided with another and sent me and my car flying. I was awake for a while. I could hear people around talking and rushing over to the scene. Then everything went black.
I'm not sure what happened after that but I woke up in the hospital. My head was throbbing like hell and Chad and Mom stood up "Elle, I'm so sorry! It's all my fault"
I didn't say anything, I just cried, I let it all out. My problems, my fears, everything.
No one apart from my family knows about that.
End Of Flashback
As I stepped out of the car Shar ran up and hugged me. I laughed and hugged her back. "Heyy Sharp"
"You okay?" She questioned, pulling her hair into a messy bun and pulling her luggage out of the trunk of her car.
I sighed and grabbed my own bags once Chad handed them to me "I'm fine" She gave me a look, she didn't believe me "Honestly"
"Come on girls" Ryan began "We've got to find our apartment"
After we found the apartment we would be living in we got settled in and un-packed our bags. After that Chad and I decided to take a look around.
We closed the apartment door behind up and walked to the campus. I could see an old beaten up truck, it wasn't in very good condition. There was a boy who looked about my age under the hood fiddling with something. He looked up at me. I gasped and turned around. Either Troy has a twin or that was actually him. I heard him call my name. It was him. I started to walk faster but Chad grabbed my hand and held me back. I sighed as I felt tears spring to my eyes. "Brie! Please, don't walk away from me" Troy pleaded, I knew he was standing right behind me
I turned to look at him "W..what are y...you doing here?"
He chuckled slightly "This is my college, I arrived today, uhh how about you? I thought you'd go to a university in England"
"Well...I'm here. But, what do you want Troy?" I questioned "Why do you want to talk to me?"
"Brie, the summer we spent together meant the word to me, you mean the world to me" He sighed
I rolled my eyes "We haven't seen eachother in two years"
"I know" Troy frowned "W..why are you acting like this?"
"Like what?"
"This! It's like you don't even want to talk to me. I love you!" Troy yelled
I shook my head "Then you would have called"
I walked away before Troy could say anything more, I walked over to Chad and pretended to talk to him. Troy followed me. "Brie, please"
"Don't call me that!" I shouted "Just don't"
I soon found myself running away. Tears were falling down my cheeks and people were starting to stare. I walked over to a bench and sat down. I put my head in my hands and cried. I'm not sure how long I was there but someone had followed me. "Gabriella, please"
I didn't want to shout but I did. "NO TROY, I HATE YOU! YOU NEVER CALLED AND YOU NEVER ANSWERED MY CALLS OR MESSAGES! THERE WERE SO MANY TIMES THAT YOU COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING ABOUT IT!" I took a few deep breaths "All I wanted was to know that you were okay"
And with that I stood up, wiped away my tears and walked away. I had no clue where I was going but I carried on. This time he didn't come after me, he just stood there staring at me and that was something everybody else would do. For the past two years I never got comfort, I didn't get it from Sharpay or my other friends, I didn't even get it from my own family. Of course I still talk to them all, but whenever I'm upset they don't hug me or tell me that everything's going to be okay, they don't even sat anything. Some life I have.
I arrived back at the apartment and walked through the door, Sharpay and Ryan were sat on the couch watching t.v. "Heyy" I greeted
The both nodded and smiled "Hi"
Then I noticed another person in the room. I looked at him. "What are you doing here?"
"I came to see me friends" He replied, running his right hand through his hair. He stood up and walked over to me "Please, can we just talk about it?"
"About what?" I questioned, looking into his bright eyes
"Us, what's happened" He sighed "Please"
I nodded and walked into my room, Troy following closely behind "Look Gabriella, I really want you to hear me out." I stayed quiet "I didn't call because I didn't want to hurt you anymore then I already had. I didn't answer your calls because I didn't think I would be able to handle it. I was more hurt then you could imagine. I wanted to talk to you, I really did but I couldn't bring myself to. Then seeing you today made me realise that it would be okay to talk to you, that I could handle it. But then you wouldn't talk to me and that just broke me even more. I know your hurting too, as much as I am. I just thought that if I was hurting myself by wanting to call you that if I did actually call you or text I would hurt you even more"
I looked up at him and I watched a tear fall down his left cheek "I'm so sorry" He told me "So, so sorry"
"I know" I whispered "I am too"
I hugged him and Troy put his arms around my waist. We stayed in that position for a while.
"Heyy" I began "I wrote a song, can I sing you some of it?"
"Go ahead"
Chest to chest
Nose to nose
Palm to palm
We were always just that close
Wrist to wrist
Toe to toe
Lips that felt just like the inside of a rose
So, how come when I reach out my finger
It feels like more than distance between us
In this California king bed
We're ten thousand miles apart
I'll be California wishing on these stars
For your heart on me
My California king
Eye to eye
Cheek to cheek
Side by side
You were sleeping next to me
Arm in arm
Dusk to dawn
With the curtains drawn
And a little last night on these sheets
So, how come when I reach out my finger
It feels like more than distance between us
In this California king bed
"That was amazing" Troy told me, making me smile
"Thank you, it's not finished yet but I'll sing you the rest when I get round to finishing it" I told him
Maybe things would be okay. Things wouldn't be good straight away, but we might get there
So what did you think? I hope you liked it!
Please, please review!
