Chapter 3 Reliving The Past
Gabriella had finished getting one large bottle of coke and lots of junk food and she made her way back into the lounge and threw the food and drink onto the table that was in front of the settee that they were going to be sitting on.
'Wow El got enough food there?' Troy joked as he carried the pizza that had just been delivered into the lounge and placed it on the table.
'Yeah well now we won't need to keep getting up to get some more. I thought we were gonna 'pig out' this weekend anyway.' Gabi told him in a child-like voice with a pout.
'Aww I'm only joking El and yes we are. We're not gonna leave the house unless we absolutely have to ok?' He told her while waving his finger at her to make point. 'And ... I'm gonna switch my phone off too so I don't have to speak to anyone but you.' He added as he tapped her on the nose and took his phone out of his pocket, turned it off and threw on the chair in the corner. 'So try not to bore me too much' He laughed.
'Humph, well if I bore you maybe I should go visit Tay and Shar instead? Huh?'
'No, no don't you dare. We haven't hung out in ages.'
'Ooh okay' She laughed 'and before I forget Shar and Tay are having the whole gang over theirs on Sunday for a sleepover like we used to.' Gabi informed Troy before she forgot to tell him.
'Ok cool. What time? And by the whole gang you mean?' Troy asked trying to get more information out of her.
'Oh you know me, you, Tay, Chad, Zeke, Shar, Ryan and Kelsi I think. It's at 7 so we still have the day to hang out and you have to dress smart.'
'What? why?' Troy asked with a huge sigh.
'Aww you know Shar she just likes to dress up, I think it was more of an attempt to cheer me up though to be honest. It won't be that bad though honest.' She said trying to change his mind.
'What was wrong with you, did you miss me?' He joked before adding 'Of course you did.'
'Yeah as if' She laughed. 'So what film did you choose' She asked before he wanted to know what was wrong with her.
'I thought we'd with your favourite.' He told her as he got up to put the Beauty and the Beast DVD in the machine as Gabi settled on the settee.

Troy and Gabi were cuddled up together on the settee and half way through the film Gabi started to shiver. Troy looked at her concerned before grabbing another blanket and pulling her closer to him. He wrapped the blanket around the two of them all as Gabi snuggled closer to him. 'Thank you' She mumbled as he smiled down at her.
'Your very welcome' He laughed.
'Troy'
'Hmmm?'
'I miss this.' She admitted to him.
'What do you mean 'you miss this'.' He questioned as he pulled back a little to look her straight in the eyes.
'This.' She simply stated as she pointed to the two of them. 'Just hanging out togehter like we used to. It feels like I haven't really seen you lately. I know it sounds silly coz we live together but I just miss you.'
'Aww El it doesn't sound silly. Nothing you say is ever silly' He said seriously as he placed a kiss on her forehead. 'I know what you mean though. But I've got a couple of weeks until basketball starts back up so we'll catch up okay?'
'Hmmm okay maybe you can help me with a couple of songs for the album?' She asked him hopefully.
'Ummm sure I can try' He laughed as he placed another kiss on the top of her head and pulled her close again.

As the film was coming to an end Troy shifted about in his seat trying to a little more comfortable when he looked down at Gabi and found that she had fallen asleep. A huge smile took over his face as he softly placed a kiss on the top of her head. After deciding that he would rather sleep on the settee with Gabi than go to his own bed alone, he reached for the pillows that were on the floor and gently put one under Gabriella's head.
He got up carefully and went to turn off the DVD. After taking it and of the DVD player and turning the TV off he got back onto the settee and laid down beside Gabi. He wrapped his arms around her waist, while breathing in her scent. He closed his eyes trying to block out everything around him and the gorgeous girl lying in his arms. As he fell into a deep sleep his mind wandered back a few years.
Flashback
Gabi was in her room lying on the bed reading a book as usual when she heard someone climbing up on the balcony. This startled her a little until she turned around and saw a brown haired blue eyed angel walking towards her with his arms held open.
'Gosh you gave me a fright then.' Gabi exclaimed as she walked into his body hugging him tightly.
'Sorry, babe I thought you'd get used to the surprise visits by now.' Troy laughed as her kissed her soundly on the lips as he greeted his girlfriend of 2 years.
'I know I don't know what my mom would say if she knew you used the tree instead of the stairs.' Gabi laughed.
'Don't worry about her.' He laughed 'What she doesn't know won't hurt her.' He replied with a wink that always made Gabi go weak at the knees.
'Come on I need to talk to you.' Gabi told Troy with so much seriousness in her voice that it actually scared him as she pulled him towards the edge of the bed and sat him down.
'What's the matter El, are you okay? Is your mom okay? Your not moving again are you?' Troy panicked, not knowing what made his girlfriend so serious freaked him out.
'No, no I'm fine, my mom's fine and we're not moving again.' Gabi told him as she tried to force out a small smile to try to get Troy to calm down.
'Then what's wrong? You know you can tell me anything and I won't tell anone or get mad at you.' Troy said as the words just rushed out of his mouth. He was terrified of what Gabi was trying to tell him.
'I know Troy and that's why I love you but.' She said as tears started to escape from her eyes.
'No no Ella please don't say but.' Troy pleaded with his girlfriend. By now Gabi was sobbing like a baby. Troy pulled her into his arms once again.
'I'm sorry Troy I don't know what to do. I love you so much that it hurts when I'm not with you but I can't think straight when I am around.' Troy smiled slightly at her comment because that was exactly how she made him feel.
'Then don't say but.' He pleaded but she shook her head and continued.
'I love you but I need to let you go. I need you in my live and I can't lose you. I want to give you my heart Troy I really do but I can't have you hate me in a couple of years. We go to college in a few years and I want you to go where you want to go and not change your mind because of me.' She told him knowing that's exactly what he would do. 'I want you to live your life Troy. Don't think I don't love you Troy coz I always will.' Gabi hugged Troy as tight as she could before pulled back, wiping away a few stray tears that had found their way down Troy's checks. She gave him one last kiss before walking out onto the balcony.
Troy immediately followed and decided to try and change her mind. 'Gabriella.' He whispered softly making her turn around staright coz he never calls her that unless he was deadly serious. 'Troy please.'
'Ella I love with my heart and soul. Your are my life and I don't know what I'd do without you. I could never hate you El never. Please think about this first.' He begged her wiping away more tears that fell from his gorgeous blue eyes.
'Troy please don't make this any harder than it is. I will always love you Troy. My heart will always belong to you. Maybe after college we can see if that is what we both still want. I really need you in my life and I want to be best friends with you Troy. I know it's not the same but I don't want to lose you Troy. Not now not ever. Please?' She begged him.
'Are you sure this is what you want?' He asked her quietly as she nodded her head silently at him. 'Okay I will try it then El coz I love you okay don't you ever forget that.' He gently placed a kiss on the top of her head before he whispered 'I'm gonna go okay El but don't ever forget that I love you. I'll call you in the morning.' Without another word he was gone back down over the balcony and down the tree as quick as he come up.
Gabi climbed onto her bed and cried herself to sleep while hugged the teddy bear that Troy won for her at the fair on their first date.
End of Flashback
Troy quickly sat up, breathing a little more heavily than normal. He looked down to see his Ella still asleep in his arms. He gave a deep sigh realising that it had just been a dream about the past and not history repeating itself. He laid back down and snuggled into Gabi before drifting back off to sleep.
