A Misunderstanding and a disappearance
Chapter 2
"Hey Guy... G-G-Gabi" Troy stuttered, his trademark cerulean blue eyes wide like saucers.
Gabriella cringed when she felt everyone's eyes on her as a red blush crept up her cheeks. When she opened her eyes she kept them firmly fixed on the floor as she shuffled past everyone and Troy in the doorway to make my way to her room. She only made it to the top step and she collapsed in tears still hearing the conversation below.
"I'm sorry guys I will go and talk to her, try and make things right again" Troy said with regret shown clearly on his face as he turned to leave.
Kelsi grabbed his arm "Don't… not yet just give her a little time"
Troy sighed and pulled a stool by the breakfast bar noticing Taylor and Chad sending looks at each other across the room. He hoped Taylor and Chad get back together this week. He knew Chad never really got over her and from what Sharpay had told him Taylor had never found anyone as perfect for her as Chad, they defined the phrase 'opposites attract'. He could understand how Chad felt because Troy had only one regret in life, the day he let Gabriella Montez go without a fight. Although Troy had dated a few girls none came anywhere near her and no matter how hard he tried he could never get over her. So he decided eventually that he would be in love with her forever.
"Do you realise what you lost now?" Kelsi asked noticing troy lost in his thoughts.
Troy blushed noticing everyone staring at him interested in his reaction he solemnly looked at the floor and nodded sheepishly. Sharpay reached over and touched him arm and said "Then do something about it."
Troy got up to leave when Kelsi said "If you're going upstairs could you let Gabi know we're going in half an hour"
"Yeah Sure"
Troy knocked on the door of Gabriella's room and slowly opened the door, finding Gabriella in a heap on her bed.
"Hey"
"Umm... Hey" Gabriella answered unsure of why Troy was here and trying to make sure he wouldn't notice she had been crying.
"Gabriella I'm sorry about earlier its just it has been over 7 years since I last saw you, I missed you" Gabriella gazed into his eyes like she used to do to determine what he was feeling and if he was lying. As she gazed into his deep, cerulean eyes all she could notice was truth and regret.
Flashback
June 21st – Day after Graduation
Gabriella had woken up early so after getting ready she decided she would go and wake her boyfriend. She knew Troy would be asleep so it would be payback after keeping her up late on the phone after spending all day together with their friends he felt the need to talk to her even more or sing which she thought was sweet but not ideal at 1 o'clock in the morning. She knocked on the door of the Bolton house Mrs Bolton opened the door giving Gabriella welcoming smile and telling her that Troy was downstairs in the den and that Gabi would probably have to wake him up. As she crept down the stairs she could see Troy's shaggy head of hair resting against the back of the couch. She started giggling as she leant against over the back of the couch and placed a series of small, soft butterfly kisses along his jaw line.
"Morning wildcat" She whispered in his ear.
He stirred "Mmm… To what do I owe this pleasure of a wake up call?"
"Payback for keeping me up so late last night" she replied grabbing his hand.
Troy as she led him upstairs to his room. Every three steps they stopped for 'mini' make out sessions which meant it took forever to reach his room. As they made their way over to his bed Gabriella noticed a figure standing in the doorway of Troy's bathroom, she immediately pulled away.
"Gabiiii! Such a tease" Troy whined noticing her mood had changed to one of shock and anger he rephrased "What's up?"
"How could you?" she whispered.
He turned to see the wildcats head cheerleader, Nicole Brown standing in his bathroom doorway wearing a pair of skimpy, red hot pants and his east high wildcats jersey. Troy gasped.
Gabriella got off his bed and stormed out the door leaving behind he the love of her life and heading for his front door trying to hold in her distraught sobs as she reached for the door handle she heard her heart break into a million little pieces knowing only one person could fix it and deciding he would never get another chance.
"Gabi wait!"
"Save it Troy I can't believe you did this to me" her voice cracking more with each syllable. As the door slammed hot tears slid down Troy's cheeks. He felt so empty he stood there lost in his thoughts until his mum found him.
"Oh My God! Troy are you ok??"
"No… no I'm not ok" he said remembering that Nicole Brown was still in his bedroom.
"GET MY JERSEY OFF AND GET OUT!" Troy yelled bursting into his room. Nicole cowered into a corner and quickly slid off his red and white Jersey and grabbed her bag on the way out.
When troy had told his mother she told him to go and see Gabriella tomorrow and leave her to cool down today.
The next day
Troy arrived at Gabriella's front porch and took a deep breath before knocking on the door. Miss Montez answered the door.
"Your too late she got on a plane this morning Gabriella asked me not to tell you where she was going" she then touched his hand and said "You two are meant to be, it will work itself out someday"
End of Flashback
"I missed you too" Gabriella said gazing into his eyes then returning her stare to the floor. Troy smiled pulling her into a hug.
A/N: Ok am sorry to end it there but its 3 o'clock in the morning and I am shattered and going to bed! So I will get the next one up ASAP! R&R Plz! Love Lucy x x x x
