Chapter 7

Troy's P.O.V.

"It was someone named Cindi." She said quietly.

"Well that someone is my girlfriend." I said harshly and continued up the stairs.

"I would have known that if you would tell me anything about your life!" she called up.

That really made me stop. She thinks I haven't told her anything about my life?! I told her about the break-up and all she did was yell at me!

"Why would I want to talk to you?! I told you about breaking up with Gabi and you screamed at me!" I shouted. She looked at her shoes.

"You called her Gabi." She stated.

"Why does everyone keep commenting on that?!"

"Because you don't give nicknames to your ex-girlfriend especially if you broke-up with her." She said calmly.

A.N. Don't worry he's not coming to his senses yet! This fic is NOT over! There will be more Taylor, Sharpay, and Kelsi as per request. If Gabriella ever forgives Troy he will have to work VERY VERY VERY hard for it! Back to the story!

"Whatever. You want to know about my life? Well, here it is! My friends are taking Gabriella's side in this stupid break-up! Dad is acting like he's her father instead of mine! Cindi has blown off four of our dates! Chad won't even get near me without yelling! Now all my other friends are talking about how I've "changed"!" I screamed putting air quotes around "changed".

"Honey, I'm sorry. But most of this stuff you've brought upon yourself..." she began to walk away but then turned back for a moment, "and you have changed." She said and continued walking into the kitchen...

Taylor's P.O.V.

After Chad told me what happened with Troy I was officially pissed. I was actually starting to calm down about this whole thing.

"Chad, drop me off at Troy's it's time to get some inside help." I said.

"Um, ok. Just don't do anything stupid." He said.

"Yeah, tell me that! You were the one who punched him!" I shouted.

"Ok, ok! I'm sorry!" he said holding his free hand up, defending himself.

"It's fine, but Chad...please don't punch him again. Because I see his parents cars in the driveway, you don't need to be on their bad side. For Gabi's sake." I said looking at him seriously.

"I know. Good luck." He said pulling slowly into his Troy's driveway.

"Thanks hun. Love ya. Tell Gabs I'll be over in a bit to watch some chick flicks...and Chad," I asked, "Yeah?"

"Let her watch the chick flicks. She needs some cheering up." I said and he nodded.

"Love you too!" I called and watched her walk to their front door.

HSM HSM HSM

Still Taylor's P.O.V.

I pressed the button for the doorbell. I could hear it ringing as well as the door being unlocked.

"Hi...Taylor." I heard a voice say. I turned to see it was Troy, great I'll have to deal with him.

"Hi, Troy. Look, I know you think I'm here to yell at you...but I'm not." I said only glancing up at his face. At the particular moment I was more fascinated with my shoes.

"You're not?" he asked. I shook my head no.

"I'm here to ask you something." He nodded his head for me to continue.

"I know that Chad has been screaming at you about this but when exactly did you find your current girlfriend? By the way I won't tell anyone if you met her before you broke up with Gabs." I said, I was praying at that moment that he didn't cheat on her.

"Tay, I know what you're thinking, I didn't cheat on Gabi or Gabriella because most people are yelling at me for calling her that. But I didn't, I would never do that." Troy said.

"See! This is the Troy I know! Why don't you show this to Chad and the guys? What came over you?" I asked tears rimming my eyes.

"I don't even know. But I guess it wasn't what happened then, it was what happened after." He stated.

"What are you talking about?" I asked...

A.N. A really pathetic cliff hanger! Keep reviewing!
