When I'm gone
When I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my hair
You're gonna miss me everywhere, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
-Cups By Anna Kendrick
The soft light shone through the window. She snuggled closer into his warm body feeling his arm tighten around her. She sighed falling back into a comfortable sleep with him as they both snuggled into the blanket. Thirty minutes later she heard a sigh from his side of the bed, then hearing a yawn. She felt his chest rise, where her hand was lying.
"Brie." He said huskily. His morning voice strong and sexy deep.
"Yeah." She replied softly.
"Time to get up." He said. Her eyes opened wide and she sat up quickly looking at her clothes. They were still on. She immediately got dizzy and fell back down. "Is this how you always wake up?!" He asked. She turned and hit him. "What the fuck was that for?" He asked sitting up.
"Did we do anything?" She asked shouting.
"No!" He said. "Why would I want to do anything with you?!" He asked standing up, leaving the room and shutting the door. She fell back down, closing her eyes feeling how dizzy she was.
She walked out of the room nudging Sharpay awake. Troy was in the kitchen, looking out at her. Sharpay turned over and threw up. Troy groaned looking at the sight.
"You two just don't stop do you." He grunted walking over. Sharpay looked at him then her.
"Where did you sleep?" She asked them.
"His room." She said.
"My room." He said. Walking over to the kitchen, scrubbing the floor next to the sink where Gabriella first threw up.
"Right." Sharpay responded sleeping on the couch. "I don't remember a thing." She said groaning. Gabriella yawned, curling up with a blanket on the other couch.
"Me either. Well... Much of it. I remember vomitting in the bathroom and sitting here now." She said. Troy looked at her. He smirked, she forgot. He finished cleaning, then proceeded to go and clean Sharpay's throw up next to the couch on the carpet. He grunted.
"Shit Shar." He said angry.
"Get over it." That's when they both heard snoring from Gabriella. He sighed, looking over to Sharpay. "What happened between you two last night?" She asked.
"Nothing. She just fell asleep in my bed, wouldn't let me go to yours so I said I'd stay till she fell asleep but I did on accident so..." He trailed off cleaning the vomit.
"Yeah okay. How was the sex?" She asked. Troy just laughed, dropping his head and wiping his eyebrow.
"I didn't have sex with her." He responded honestly.
"That's a record. Tell me, why are you going after my best friend that you haven't even mentioned banging yet?" He looked over to her seeing she was in a deep sleep snoring.
"She's something different." He looked back at Sharpay. "Something different."
She finally made it home in the afternoon, her mom not even noticing her slip in late. Some mornings Maria worked early so she woke up and fed Sophia that early usually letting Gabi sleep in. But today was a shit show. She was so sick, she couldn't even stand. The door bell rang and she cried. She lifted herself up and walked to the door answering it. Troy was standing there with a big bag of food. She looked at him clamping her hand over her mouth.
"You're gonna need my help today." He said with a smile. She let him in, walking over to the kitchen to make herself a cup of coffee. He sat at the table opening the food. "I got the cheesiest, greasiest burgers I could." He took a bite. "You need to eat it." She whined sitting down, taking the burger out and taking a bite. She put it down and slammed her head on the table startling him. "Christ." He shouted. "You alright?!" He asked.
"Mhm." She said. She moaned closing her eyes. "I feel pregnant again." She said lifting her body, placing her elbows on the table, holding her head as she stared down.
"You said that last night." He said taking another bite of his burger. She looked at him.
"What else did I say last night?" She wondered looking at him sit there casually in a white v-neck and heather grey sweat pants. She was wrapped in a hoodie with shorts on. Her hair was wild, and she took a second to throw her hair in a pony tail.
"It wasn't a matter of what you said, it was what you did." He chuckled. She raised an eyebrow panicking. "You gave me a striptease in the kitchen." He laughed and she burst out in laughter, covering her mouth immediately. She shrank back in her seat laughing to herself, burying her face in her hands.
"I'm done living." She said still burying herself. "You probably think I'm the worst mother ever." She said blushing, finally looking at him.
"I wouldn't say the worst." He joked. "You're up there." He said smiling. She scoffed looking at the coffee pot, standing up to make a cup. He finished his burger.
"What other stupid things did I do?" She asked taking the cup back to her seat. He paused.
"Do you remember this morning?" He asked her. She shook her head.
"No." She frowned and he laughed.
"Good." He said looking at her sit in the chair holding the coffee mug close to her body, knees on the seat. She looked up from her cup, looking straight at the blinking baby monitor. She looked down, placing her cup on the table, stumbling over.
"Where you going?" He asked her. She pointed at the stairs and he nodded standing up following her. Being in her house was a surreal moment, being exposed to everything she had a story to. They walked down the hall where she opened a white door revealing the nursery. He looked around the room painted a soft matte yellow. She bent over the crib picking up her baby, placing her in her arms carefully, cradling Sophia closely.
"Why you crying?" She asked smiling down at Sophia. She huffed, sniffling now. "You're turning into a cry baby now aren't you?" She giggled asking her daughter. Troy observed how motherly she was with her daughter. He smiled seeing how she was so calm despite her night. Gabriella looked up at Troy. "Do you want to hold her?" Gabriella asked him. He was shocked.
"Uhh..." He said looking at her smiling at him. "I've never held a baby." He admitted scratching the back of his neck. She smiled walking over to him.
"Open your arms." She instructed. He did so willingly. She placed Sophia in his arms, making sure he held her carefully. He looked down into her eyes seeing a huge smile and deep brown eyes just like Gabriella. She reached a hand out to his nose.
"You want to take my nose?" He asked her. She giggled. Gabriella stood closely, placing a hand on his where he held her.
And in that moment, he knew that he could do this. He knew he could be a family man and take care of her and Gabriella. Why had this one girl change him? This wasn't the likely Troy he grew to love.
She looked at him smiling down at her, feeling that he could take care of them. She shook her head, about to take her out of his arms to stop this feeling.
"I've never held a baby before." He chuckled. She smiled grabbing one of her pacifiers, and walking out of the room, himself following. She walked downstairs and put her in her play pen, giving her the pacifier. He sat on the couch and sighed.
"Yes, this is my life." She said walking over and getting her food ready for lunch. "If you don't mind, I have some things to do so can I call or text you later...?" She said pulling her phone out. He looked frantic.
"Uhhh... Ill just drop by sometime when I get a new phone." He offered her a smile. "I'll see you later. And thanks for lunch." He waved, walking out the door. Sophia giggled knocking over blocks. Gabriella smiled at her little daughter.
"Good one Sophia." She said going into the kitchen and getting her lunch ready.
Troy Bolton... What a mystery.
Happy Easter everyone! and i didn't get much reviews last time so if there's anything you want me to do, change, or whatever, please let me know! I feel that with the lack of reviews, I'm not catching any attention. If so, let me know and I can finish one of my other stories. Thanks, love always, Nicole. Oh, sorry it was short.
