I can't stand her. I'm breaking up with her. I'd rather be burned to death then marry her. I'd rather go free falling off a building then live with her. She's rude, she's unkind, she's dirty, she smells bad, and she is clingy…
I turned off the tape recorder that I found addressed to me outside my dorm. I stared in shock and brokeness at the white wall in front of me. That voice wasn't just any, it was Troy's. It was my boyfriend's. I just don't understand it. He tells me he loves me, he says he cares and he says that he thinks I'm the only one for him, but then… he goes and does something like this. We even agreed on the same college to be together. This is unforgivable. I don't think I can look in his beautiful blues eyes and pretend I didn't hear anything. That's why, right then, I decided to leave. That night Troy was out with his friends, so I know that he wouldn't walk in.
After packing my stuff, I grabbed a piece of paper, there was something Troy should know whether or not he cares.
"Dear Troy,
someone slipped a tape recorder by my door. I listened to it and it brought tears to my eyes. I can't believe you said that. When you read this, I won't be here, yes I'm leaving. I'm transferring schools, because I don't want to see you again. Don't even think about coming and asking for forgiveness… I don't think I will ever be able to forgive you. One more thing, Troy I'm having your child. Hope you're happy because now this kid is going to grow up without you." She scribbled down.
Earlier the day before…
"Troy, you don't want to get married yet. You should think about this more." Troy's roommate Tyler said as they were playing basketball together.
"I made up my mind." Troy said.
"But Troy you have the rest of your life. You're only twenty-one." Tyler said. He wanted him to focus on the team, not his girl.
"Look Tyler…I can't stand being without her. I'm never breaking up with her, tomorrow, I'm proposing. I'd rather be burned to death then marry someone else then her. I'd rather go free falling off a building then live without her. She's never rude, she's never unkind, she's never dirty, she never smells bad, and she is never clingy. I love her more then you will ever know." Troy finished.
"Whatever man, I'll be back later." Tyler said turning a small tape recorder off and bringing it to his room to modify.
Later in the present…Troy was walking along the hallway with a small velvet box in his pocket that he was fingering. He was excited, but as soon as he opened the small envelope taped to the door that was addressed to him along with a tape, he took off down the hall and outside to the front of the building. From the door he saw a cab driver throwing her stuff into the trunk, but as he ran out, she got in the car and the cab driver started it. Troy raced to it, she looked back at him and frowned with tears in her eyes.
"GABRIELLA!" Troy yelled to her, but she didn't stop the cab, she didn't say anything, she looked back at him with a new look in her eyes. A look of burning hatred, not for him, but for what he had done… she could never hate him.
"And so, the chase begins." Troy whispered to himself going upstairs to pack. He was going to take a break from school and find her, figure out this mess, marry her, and come back to college with her and their child. He wouldn't give up.
R&R PLEASE!
