Chapter 4

It was gone midnight when Troy got back onto the bus. And Charlie was still sat in the lounge area.

"I wondered were you were," said Troy flopping next to him.

"You are not to go in bedroom you are to sleep in one of the bunks at the back," said Charlie

"My stuff is in my bedroom," said Troy
"Get it do not go near Gabriella," said Charlie

"I'll do whatever the hell I like," shouted Troy

"Troy she went to sleep crying. She's ill and you have as good as broke her heart," said Charlie

"I over reacted," said Troy

"She said if she hears you say that again she'll slap you," said Charlie

"C'mon on Charlie if you found a pair of boxers in your wife's bag and you knew they didn't belong to me what would you do?" asked Troy
"I would to probably think the worst but I would listen. You were tired, you'd had a late night and little sleep," said Charlie

"I can't blame it that either because I was with Gabriella the night before and I sleep like a log when she's in my arms. Even if I have 3 hours sleep I'm refreshed and she knows that so I can't blame it on that," said Troy

"Go and get your things and go to sleep. You two can talk in the morning," said Charlie

Troy nodded and headed into the bedroom to wash up for bed.

Little did he know his shouting had woken Gabriella.

"What are you doing in here?" she asked

"I'm just washing up don't worry I'll be out of your sight in a minute," said Troy

There was silence and Troy assumed Gabriella had gone back to sleep but then a person knocked into him on their rush to the bathroom. Seconds later an ow and retching could be heard.

Heading into the bathroom Troy flicked the soft light above the mirror and rinsed a face cloth for Gabriella to wipe her mouth before holding her hair back so it didn't get anymore sick in it.

"Go away," she whispered

"No," whispered Troy passing her the cloth

"I went away when you asked so will you please do the same I don't want anyone to see me like this," she whispered

"I'm staying because I care and I was wrong," said Troy

Before Gabriella could say anything another wave of sickness came over her and Troy waited patiently holding her hair back as she emptied the contents of her stomach into the toilet.

Minutes later her body was shaking with sobs and her stomach was still convulsing but with nothing to come out.

Unfortunately in her first rush to the bathroom so vomit had gotten on her hair.

"Lean back against the bath and I'll wash that sick from your hair," said Troy

"Why are you doing this?" asked Gabriella

"Because I was wrong and I care. And I want to prove myself to you," explained Troy

5 minutes later Gabriella's hair was rinsed and she was back in bed. Troy was drying her hair with a towel as she leant against him and Charlie came in.

"Troy it doesn't take 10 minutes to get your things and go to the back bunks," said Charlie before he took in the scene. "Oh what happened?" asked Charlie

"Whatever you do don't go in the bathroom and Gabriella was ill," said Troy

"Are you ok with this Gabriella?" asked Charlie

Gabriella nodded sleepily and that was the last action she made before sleep took over her.

"I'm going to clean the bathroom and then go to sleep in the chair in the corner that way if she's sick in the night I will probably hear her," said Troy

Charlie nodded "Well I'm going to go and get some rest," he said

Troy nodded and Charlie headed out.

After cleaning the bathroom and throwing the towels in the wash, Troy sat down in the chair and waited for sleep to come.

Gabriella hadn't forgiven him yet but he hoped she was on her way to it. He knew it would take her a while to trust him again. Because he had effectively accused her of cheating and then not listened to her. On top of that he had said in not so many words he didn't want to marry her. It would be a while before they were ok. And he knew he couldn't propose on their 3 year anniversary but he hoped by then in the next 4 days they would be back together. He knew it would a long haul to get back to where they were a couple of days ago but he hoped they could get back to it. Because if they couldn't he didn't know what he do without her. And with that last thought in his mind he drifted into a nightmare filled sleep.
