Goin' Greek:
Chapter six: Too Young
I could feel the vibration of the music pump though my shoes and into the soles of my feet which cause a ripple effect, sending music waves though my body. I was at my first real Greek party as an official Greek. Yeah that's right, I was a ABZ, pledge class '09! I only saw I few faces that I recognized. I saw Ashley who was grinding with Scott, and I saw Katie who was holding hands and sharing a beer with a guy that had be with her all night. I kept wondering if there was something going on between them. Emma had ditched me long ago and was most likely off somewhere with Kevin. Even though this party was better than anything that I could have imagined I still wasn't in the mood. My Greek god had left me to go get drinks. He said that I just need to loosen up and have a beer. If one hadn't helped I knew two wouldn't do a thing except make me feel more depressed and more stupid than I did while on drink number one. All I wanted to do was go back to my little dorm room, with my little bed, and hide in my own little cocoon of self-pity. It was then I decided to leave. I didn't want to find Andrew and tell him, because if I did then, being the gentle man he is, he would walk me home, thus invading my much need 'woe-is-me" time.
I spotted Ash to my left taking a break from her dancing.
"ASH!" I screamed over the music. And thankfully she turned her head.
"Hey babe! Having a good time?"
"Um, no, I'm really tired, I was up all last light writing a paper and this loud music mixed with beer mixed with tired-ness is making one hell of a headache, so I think I'm gonna go home." I yelled again.
"Ok, I'm sorry, hey do you want me to walk you back?"
"No, I'll be fine, but would you mind telling Andrew when he get back that I went home?"
"Not at all." She yelled as gave her a hug good-bye.
Peace and quiet at last. This I what she really need. It was only a four block walk to her apartment, and being a poor student, she didn't have a car, and in an effort to fight off the freashman-15, she walked a lot. It was a busy night and the air was warm as it always was in Southern California. Her hair was blowing in the light breeze that fallowed her. Gabriella closed her eyes and took in the air that was swirling around her on this late Friday night. Just a moment, just one was all she really need. She took in another long slow breath and continued the remaining two blocks to her dorm.
When she got over the door mate and closed her door, Gabriella took another calming breath, pulled off her shoes, pulled the covers away from her bed, grabbed her ipod, and slid herself under the silk, away from the world. She knew what she could do to make this problem a little less problem like. She turned her ipod on and looked for the man who could sing her problems away.
'They try to tell us were too young, too young to really be in love…."
"They say that love is a word…a word we only herd…."
"And yet where not to young to know….this love will last though years may go…."
Nat King Cole's song 'Too Young' was her lullaby when she was a little girl. Her daddy would always sing it to her as a baby or the only time when he wasn't at work working with the US government. His voice was deep and pure like Nat's only different; he was still one of the best singers you could ever hear.
There where time when if she was feeling sad or alone she would close her eyes and deep down hear his voice, sing Nat King, like the rest of her family. Nat King Cole always reminded her of holidays when she was a little girl, before divorce and death. The holidays were the only time where there seemed that there was never any bad thing in the world. Her mom would always hum 'L-O-V-E' by Nat on Thanksgiving making a pie while her Grandfather would hum 'Mona Lisa' while preparing the turkey. Her grandmother would always sing '( I love you ) for sentimental reasons' and smashing potatoes. And then she would remember the booming and jolly voice of her daddy booming thought the small house in Virginia. As he made his entrance he would pick up his little daughter in her mary-jane shoe and dance with her while he sang to her favorite song.
Sometimes Gabriella could hear the squeaking of her new mary-janes on the floor and feel the spinning sensation she got in her father's strong arms, god how she missed him. She hadn't been able to sing since the day she found out he had died. She couldn't do it, she would open her mouth and not sound would escape from her lips. That day ended when she met Troy. Yet another reason that she knew Troy was special. He could make her heart sing, and when they danced she could feel the spinning like she did when she was a little girl.
That day was like a whirl wind, never stopping, now at last she was able to catch her breath.
"I was frighten for two reasons, first, I knew you would treat me like this all upset and trying to protect me. And second I was worried that you thought I would leave our friendship."
"How could I say that Taylor, I mean I would have been worried at first but I'm not upset because you joined, hell, if that was the case than you should be mad at me….."
"Wait what?" said Taylor.
"How I found out that you where an ABZ was because I was rushing, and now I'm a pledge. But Tay, that's not the point, we suppose to be best friends, we tell each other everything. Like I only told you and Pay when I thought I was pregnant. You remember that don't you, you two where by my side the entire time and help me come up with a lie to tell everyone. You two where the only people I trusted. But I mean you couldn't trust me with this? I could have helped you, you know come up with better excuses and just helped you."
Taylor was now crying as was Gabriella.
"I'm so sorry" sobbed Taylor "I was so scared and just did what I thought was best."
"What are we gonna do Tay?" Sobbed Gabriella.
"Please forgive me!" sobbed Taylor.
"Just give me a little time."
"Ok, Ella, um I have to, to, to get back to the lab." She hiccupped
"Ok, I'll call you later ok?" I said trying not to break down.
Gabriella hung up on her best friend. That call brought back one of her worse memories of her life. It was the time she thought she was pregnant.
Flashback no ones POV
Troy and Gabriella had both lost our virginities to each other two months earlier on their year anniversary of meeting each other. Ever since that time we where un-separable, and had sex at least once a week, that is until she was two weeks late. She was walking into school wearing jeans and a simple black t-shirt with a 'Wildcat' hoodie keeping her warm. She was where no make-up and her hair was pulled up into a pony-tail. Everyone in the halls could sense something was wrong. Since when was Gabriella Montez, the girl who always was happy, optimistic, kind to everyone, didn't want to show her beautiful face to the world? Where was the girl who wasn't afraid to stand up for what she wanted? Where was the one who could help but smile at you? Where was the Gabriella who broke down the 'cliques ' and let everyone be friends? Where was the girl that stole the Trot Bolton's heart?
The cheer leaders yelled nasty things like:
'Did Troy finally come you his senses and dump you?'
'What's wrong Montez? Did you only get a 99 on a test?'
Gabriella didn't say anything to them. She just kept her head down and walked away. Little did Gabi know that Troy and his friends heard the whispers.
"Yo Troy? What happened to Gabriella?" his team mates would ask him.
"Hey Bolton? Did Montez dump you so she could be with a real man?" the football players yelled.
"Hey Troy, have you seen Ella, rumors are she crying." Said a quite Sharpay. Shar had worried eyes and wasn't loud and trying to get everyone attention, if anything she sounded shy.
"I have no idea where she could be, I didn't give her a ride this morning, she said she was going to be at school late so she took her van. But I was hoping you could tell me. I'm getting really worried"
"Hey, have you guys seen Ellie-bellie?" said Chad as he placed his basket ball under his arm.
"Um guys, I think I know where Gabriella is?" said a shy Ryan.
"What! Where?" said a frantic Troy.
"Third floor music room."
And with that Troy sprinted off without a second glance back. His friends not far behind him. He ran down to the music room as fast he could.
'Why was she crying? Was it something I did?'
Different circumstance kept running though his mind each more worse than the one before it.
He slammed into the door, though the window he saw Kelsi had her arms around Gabriella who was sobbing into her shoulders.
Troy opened the door with a hurry and scooped his girlfriend in his arms and held her. By now the rest of the gang had arrived. They just watched as Gabriella sobbed while Troy desperately try to find out why the love of his life was so upset.
"Gabriella, please tell me why your crying, please I can't stand to see you so upset. Please baby, please, why are you crying?" he said desperately with tears sparkling in his blue eyes.
"Um, Troy we've got it from here…." Said the sad and shy sounding Sharpay as she tried to pry Gabriella away from Troy. However, this made Troy hold on tighter.
"No please!" he said as Sharpay tried to remove the hysterical girl from his arms for a second time.
"Troy, last night she told us that see need to talk to us and it was important." Said Taylor as she rubbed circles in to her best friend back.
"Ok, well then I'll go with you." He added desperately.
However Gabriella shook her head and Sharpay said.
"She wanted to speak to us alone." She seemed a little nervous about his reaction.
"Troy please." Gabriella sobbed in a voice that broke his heart .He let go. He watch as the two girls pulled Gabriella away from him and guide her outside the door away from him. This was the first time in this life that Troy was truly scared.
with the girls
"G, what's going on?" Taylor had at last asked when Gabriella had clamed down and silent tears were falling down her checks.
"I think I'm pregnant." She said quietly holding her hand over her mouth.
"What? Are you sure?" said Sharpay who was holding Gabriella's head in her shoulder.
"No, that's why I asked to see you guys; I have an appointment this afternoon to see for sure." She said as Taylor held her hand and sat next to her.
"Do you want us to come with you?" said Taylor calmly.
"Well, I was just gonna ask for you help coming up with something to tell people as to why I'm leaving early. And that's too much to ask."
"Of course were gonna come with you babe, we will not let you go through this alone."
"But how? I'm telling my mom I have a head-ache and she'll let me go home, but what about you guys?"
"Well I'm eighteen so I'll sign myself out, and Tay can say she threw up and is getting the flu. So I'll just miss lunch and study hall, and Tay will miss lunch and PE, it will all be fine Gabriella."
"In less I'm really
pregnant." Gabriella said quietly
"It's Troy's right?"
said Sharpay.
Both Gabriella and Taylor looked at her like she had an extra eye growing out of her ear.
"Of course it's Troy's you Barbie!" answered Taylor
"Right?" she added as an after though looking at Gabriella who just nodded.
"Well, I'm just checking! I mean Ella is a pretty girl, I mean she could have any guy at East, well except Zeke and Chad."
"Ok, now that the Barbie is done ranting, and the question of who's the dad is settled, Gabriella what do you mean think?"
"Um, well I'm almost three weeks late. And I took two tests, one was positive and the other was false."
"Ok, and if it's false are you gonna tell Troy?" said Sharpay
"If it's false that I'm not going to tell anyone, well just you two. And if it's positive, I'm getting an abortion, because I know I can't do med school with a baby on my hip. Also, my body couldn't take the stress, you know what happened."
When Gabriella was nine she was in a car accident and a shard of glass when though her uterus and the doctors repaired it, however she couldn't have kids until at least 23, by then the scars would have healed fully and there would be no ripping. If she did have a baby at this age it 98 likely that she would bleed to death.
"Ok, so after lunch we'll do this shit!" said Sharpay standing up holding her arm out
"Lets kick some ass!" Taylor screamed as all three girls linked arms and walked out the door smiling.
End of flashback no ones POV
That day the girls found out that Gabriella was not pregnant, however because of the scare all three girls decided that they could no longer put their faith on condoms and decided that it was a smart idea for them to go on birth control.
She then heard her phone 'buzz' on her night stand and pulled under her sanctuary of covers. It was a text message from 'Greek God (Andrew)' it read:
Hey! Why did you leave?
Gabriella decided to reply:
Um, I had a long day and I think I'm starting to get a cold or something so I decided to go home…..
Aw poor El, do want me 2 come over and take care of you?
Thanks but no thanks, hey talk l8ter, bye!
She was a little glad that he had stopped texting. She knew she wasn't getting a cold, but she knew she was getting annoyed at how sweet he was trying to be…. To be honest he was acting as though they were dating, which they weren't.
Right now Gabriella really wanted Chad and Zeke, she need a brotherly hug, she was sick for her old friends. The ones she went though high school with. The ones who really knew her.
With that Gabriella made her decision. She slowly climbed out of bed and got out the coca power, eggs, and pre-heated the oven. She was gonna need a hell of a lot of brownies to get him to forgive her.
Ok, I kinda though this together and I know this isn't my best work, but this sets you up for next chapter which will be fun to write. Ok, so now you know a little about Gabriella. Also, again I say I'm sorry about not updating, but I've explain up above about everything. So I won't be updating for about like 9-ish days, but I've got ideas. Ok, so please review on the story! (The make me smile :D) and when I get back I will write more! So yep! There you go! Thank you to all my amazing readers!
PLEASE NO FLAMES!
pEAcE aNd love,
