Chapter 4
"She's been avoiding me all week," says Troy
"I'll be back," says Ryan getting up.
Upon his departure of the kitchen, Ryan proceeds to Gabriella's room and enters.
"Ryan!" exclaims Gabriella
"I'm gay," says Ryan "No why've you been avoiding Troy again?" he asks
"Crap," says Gabriella
"Yes crap you've been found out why?" asks Ryan
"Head and heart," says Gabriella
"Your heart and your head have two different opinions. Your heart wants romance and your head is being logical. You have to decide which you want. Do you want me to say anything to Troy," says Ryan
"No!" exclaims Gabriella
"It's not my place ok," says Ryan
"Just tell him I'm trying to make a very hard decision but I choose the right one he will know and find out how he feels," says Gabriella
Ryan goes back to the kitchen.
"She's trying to make a decision a hard one. But if she makes the right choice you will know," says Ryan
"That doesn't make any sense," says Troy
"I can't say anything because it's not my place to tell," says Ryan
"It's mine," says Gabriella entering the kitchen
"Will you please stop avoiding me. I want to be your friend I don't know what I've done to upset you," says Troy
Gabriella turns and runs from the room.
"You've done it now," says Ryan
"What?" asks Troy
"It's not my place to tell," says Ryan trying and running after Gabriella
"There's something I haven't told you," says Gabriella
"Ok," says Ryan
"I had a boyfriend," says Gabriella
"That's not a bad thing," says Ryan
"He didn't want me really. It was a dare to see if the geek would go to bed. He wanted that one thing that I didn't want to give away. It didn't work however my older brother who was a somebody at school came home the weekend mum was away and my boyfriend was trying it on. Scared him right out the house and he never spoke to me again," says Gabriella
"So you're scared that Troy might do that?" asks Ryan
"No Troy is kind and sweet and I don't think he would be that kind of guy to go after girls to get that one thing. I'm just scared of getting hurt," says Gabriella
"If you know Troy is kind and sweet how will he hurt you in that way?" asks Ryan
"Because even if he does feel the same. He will still hurt me even if he promises not to. We'll fight, say something stupid, we'll break up," says Gabriella
"Couples fight all couples do. My mum and dad do and they been together for 30 years," says Ryan
"My mum and dad are divorced," says Gabriella
"I think that is part of the reason you're scared. Not all couples break up and not all get divorced it's the ones who fall out of love that do," says Ryan "Troy likes you ok that I can assure you. He's just as clueless as you are, you both don't how to act, what to say, if the other likes you. And it's ok to feel scared of the reaction you get so if he says no you move on and if he says yes you know it was a risk worth taking. Life is all about taking risks if you don't take a risk you'll never know what the future might have held or might hold," says Ryan
"You're a good friend Ryan," says Gabriella resting her head on his shoulder.
"I know. Now should I tell Troy to leave you alone or that you want to talk to him," says Ryan
"Um," says Gabriella
"Give you some space?" asks Ryan
"Yeah," says Gabriella "I'll speak to him when my feelings go away," she says
"Don't say that I will speak to him today and see how he feels about you and report back and I will even record it on my phone and then you can decided what to do," says Ryan
Gabriella nods.
Two hours later there's a knock on the door.
"Come in," calls Gabriella
"Hey," says Ryan coming in and flopping on the bed next to her
"So?" asks Gabriella
Ryan pulls his phone out fiddles with it for a second and Troy's voice comes into the air.
"Ok, ok I'll admit it I like Gabriella I might even be in love with her," says Troy
Ryan gets up and walks out leaving Gabriella with any even harder decision. Still the decision to fall heart or head but now she knows how Troy feels will she communicate how she feels.
Review please
