Gabriella picked herself up being careful to not cause her aching body anymore pain. Still in shock that Olivia would have the nerve to kick her out of her own house, Gabriella trudged to her backyard where she came to the tall fence that separated the Montez's yard from the Bolton's yard. Once she had finally managed to get over the tall fence, the aching girl made her way to the back of the Bolton house, where she then picked up a pebble. With the pebble in her hand she chucked the pebble at Troy's window just hard enough to make a slight sound but not break it. Though the rock made a noise it did not seem to wake Troy. Picking up another stone she threw that one at his window as well with a little more force. This time making a louder sound, Gabriella finally saw a bit of movement coming from his room.
Hearing something come from his window, Troy pulled himself from his bed and walked towards the window. To his surprise he found Gabriella standing in his backyard in a pair of pajama shorts that without a doubt did not shield her from the extremely cold temperature, a white tank top, and a pair of fuzzy slippers. Quickly Troy rushed downstairs silently grabbing a blanket on his way down, careful not to wake his parents. Once he stepped outside into the uncomfortable cold temperature, Troy made his way to the backyard to find gabby still standing there. Gabriella turned to troy, seeing his comforting blue eyes soothed her a little as she was wrapped in a blanket by her best friend.
"What the hell are you doing down here?" Troy said with a sort of panic in his voice.
"Olivia kicked me out of the house." Gabby replied with a bit of shame and vulnerability.
"SHE DID WHAT!?"
"Sshhh Troy you're going to wake someone"
"Fine you can tell me the rest inside, come on" Troy motioned for her to follow.
The two stepped inside the house silently; the warmth of the blanket and the Bolton home surrounded her as they made their way towards Troy's room.
Closing his bedroom door once they stepped inside "so she just put you out?"
With a heavy yawn she nodded.
"Well in that case you can stay here, you take my bed and ill crash on the couch."
"Why don't I just take the guest bedroom that way you can have your bed?"
"You can sleep in there if you enjoy freezing your ass off."
She gave him a confused expression.
"The heater in there isn't working" Troy said remembering how he was slammed against it by his father causing a large dent in the hard ten of the heater covering.
"Oh"
"So just take my bed."
"Are you sure?"
"Gabs you look exhausted, just lay down and go to sleep." He said knowing how much she must have been through, for Olivia to be pissed enough to throw her out.
"Alright" Gabi said as she crawled into the large bed and pulled the blanket and sheet up over her aching body. She snuggled down into the bed and took in the coziness and some how, security of Troy's bed. As she looked up at her best friend she gave him a "thank you" and one of her award winning smiles.
Troy smiled, "anytime, goodnight"
"Goodnight."
With that Troy left the room to go 'Crash' on the couch. As he reached the bottom of the staircase he remembered something. He turned around and headed back towards his room.
Entering the room once again "hey gabby I forgot to ask you, do you need an extra blan- …." Troy smiled as he looked over the beautiful brunette laying in his bed fast asleep. Without thinking troy walked over to his bed and gave Gabriella a kiss on her forehead…
"Goodnight, Gabriella."
The girl sturred a bit in her sleep at the feel of the kiss.
Knowing that he might wake her if he stays, Troy reluctantly left the room and the brunette whom he no longer saw as just a friend, but a girl who he longed for…a girl who he...loved?
(Troy's thoughts) You don't love her Troy. She is your best friend, and plus its not like you would have a chance with her. I mean she's beautiful, smart, funny, outgoing, sweet, beautiful, I mean those eyes…they just…make you wann-… TROY! Snap out of it…you don't love her…you don't...or…do you?
