Chapter 7:

Gabi's POV

Last time:

"Hey, since we're gonna be here for a while, how about we play a game?" I suggested.

Troy hesitated and thought for a while.

"Sure," He said.

"Let's play twenty questions!"

"Ok, I'll start. Favorite sport?"

"Typical athlete question. Dancing."

"Favorite movie?"

"The Notebook."

We asked each other questions and learned more about each other.

"Your ideal date?"


I hesitated and thought for a second. My ideal date…A picnic sounds nice, maybe to a concert?

"Um…I gonna go for going to the carnival. The last time I went there I was 8. I haven't been there since my dad…disappeared," I said quietly.

I had tears in my eyes and looked down on the floor.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to make you upset," Troy said sincerely.

Instead of answering him and telling him that I'm fine, I didn't answer him and kept kicking the sand again and again. The sky was turning darker as the sun went down.

"Sorry, I just—I miss him so much. Every time I see my friends with their dads, I can't help but think how we would be if he was here. He would still be here if it wasn't for me!"

I closed my eyes and remembered what happened to my daddy. My dad disappeared in a plane crash when I was just a little girl. He was coming back from his business trip to New York for my birthday to surprise me. But he disappeared. No one found his body. Everyone else on the plane was found but not my dad. He was the only one that wasn't found. The police closed this case after looking for him for three years. I couldn't blame them though; there was no hope of him coming back.

"It's not your fault. Don't blame yourself," Troy told me softly yet sternly.

My eyes were red and puffy by now. I looked at Troy as I felt a tear sliding down to my check.

"It is my fault! If I didn't make him feel guilty about not coming to my birthday party he wouldn't be in the plane crash!" I burst into tears as I said that to Troy.

I threw my hand around Troy and hugged him tightly, sobbing in his chest. He patted my back and hugged me back.

"Don't cry, it's not your fault. No one can predict that there would be an accident," Troy whispered in my ear.

"But the last thing I said to him was that I hated him!"

I kept on crying and Troy just say silent and let me cry in his chest. He sent a text to his dad telling him that we're going back to the hotel first. As we were walking, I couldn't help but think about how sweet and caring Troy was just now. I got his shirt all wet but he didn't say a thing.

"Thanks. And sorry about your shirt," I said quietly.

Troy smiled slightly and shrugged.

"It's fine. Just glad that you're okay," He replied.

Maybe I've been wrong about him. Maybe this arranged marriage is a good thing. Maybe Troy can actually be a nice person.
