This is my Valentine's day chapter

Chapter 7

"He loves me. Troy loves me," thinks Gabriella "Why would he love me. I'm nothing special. I'm- he loves me. But now he won't talk to me. Why? Because he's ashamed because he thinks I don't love him. I like him and I'm falling for him I think. I don't know if I'd ever love him, I might be able to but he's always seemed like a friend to me I never thought he would think of me any different. Could we have a relationship over such a distance. I didn't think he would ever fell the same way. Wait same way did I just confess to myself that I love him. I did I love Troy," thinks Gabriella

That thought warms her within and she inwardly smiles.

"Gabriella tea," calls her mum

Gabriella checks her Skype and emails one more time before locking her laptop and heading down to tea.

Meanwhile with Troy. He is mentally beating himself up for letting him get in this position. For letting him and his mum say those things when he knew Gabriella could come back on screen at any moment. But did he want her to come back on screen and hear so he didn't have to say it to her face yes he thinks he might of but if he did he should of prepared himself for Gabriella's reaction. She wouldn't have known she was going walk into that conversation.

Troy turns to his laptop and boots it up to find Gabriella online but not there.

The thought revolved around her head as she ate her lasagne not contributing to the conversation taking place between her mum and brother.

"Gabriella" her mother's voice snaps her out of her thoughts

"Huh," she says

"She's thinking about Troy," teases her brother in a way he has heard their mum do it in the past.

Gabriella glares at him.

"Its ok mija," says her mum

"He said he loves me and I don't know what to do," confesses Gabriella

"How do you feel?" asks her mum

"I don't know I wasn't supposed to hear. We had a fight because I asked what was wrong because he seemed distracted and slightly upset or distraught and he shouted. Then you called me down and he started talking to his mum and when I came back he was telling his mum he loves me but didn't know how to tell me. His mum pointed at the screen and he turned to see me. Lucille left the room. We stared at each other I think I look surprised and shocked and Troy looked shocked and scared. He stuttered that he had to go and logged off. That was a week ago and he hasn't been online since," says Gabriella

"It will work out mija it always does. He obviously wasn't ready for you to hear how he felt and he is probably scared you don't feel the same. You should think about how you feel and try and get your head straight and send him an email or text to tell him how you feel and how you don't want this to affect your friendship," says her mum

"Mum I'm going to bed," says Gabriella with that she clears her plate.

She goes upstairs without a word, logs her laptop off without a glance and goes to sleep.

The next day which just so happens to be Valentine's Day Gabriella is just as down especially since it's the day of love. Fortunately Taylor is off so she doesn't have to explain why she is sad.

However when she gets home, she can see something red of the doorstep leaning against the white door so it's stands out. As she gets closer she can she its flowers.

When she gets right up close she sees it is a bouquet of roses in a basket and a card.

A white note occupies the flowers and it reads

I'm sorry.

I'm a jerk.

Please forgive me.

Be my valentine.

Troy

Gabriella goes into the house and cuts and puts the roses into a vase and carries them upstairs to place on her dresser a small smile playing on her lips.

Out of corner of her eye she spots something on her bed and when she turns round to see.

She sees it is a huge white teddy bear, with a red heart that reads I love you and a gold heart shaped box of chocolates lay on the bed in front of it.

She can see a pair of feet sticking out from behind the teddy and she reaches forward to grasp the teddy, something jumps out from behind it scaring her.

And making her fall backwards onto the bed, giggling as she sees it is Troy. Troy hovers over her and gazes down at her.

Her giggles subsided and she stares up at him.

"What are you doing here?" she asks sitting up

"I was a jerk," says Troy sitting next to her

"That doesn't explain why you're here," says Gabriella

"To apologize in person. Yes I wanted and want you to know I love you but I shouldn't have reacted the way I did when I saw you had heard and I shouldn't off ignored you for the past two weeks," says Troy

"It's ok wildcat," says Gabriella

"No it isn't a was a coward," says Troy

"Troy I don't care you're my coward," says Gabriella

"The only question left to ask is if you love me," says Troy

"Yes I do," says Gabriella

"Will you be my girlfriend?" asks Troy

Gabriella laughs.

"What's so funny it's a very important question," says Troy

"It's valentine's day," says Gabriella

"Do you want me to you tomorrow?" asks Troy

"NO," shouts Gabriella flinging herself into Troy's arms

"Steady on Brie," he says catching her and trying not to fall backwards

"And yes I'll be your girlfriend," she adds

"May I kiss you?" asks Troy

"Hell yeah," smiles Gabriella

And with that Troy's lips capture Gabriella's in their first kiss. Their lips moulded together into a sweet tender kiss and the whole world was drowned out – it was just them.

Review Please

And with 2 minutes to go Happy Valentine's Day.
