When we got to the resturant we got to a table quckly, there wasn't many people there. And luckly no one from East High was there. If someone had seen the news, they would most likely come up to me and I knew I was going to end up crying. Taylor and Chad kept saying they were sorry and that was bad enough. I looked at Troy and he gave me a sympathetic look as I swallowed the lump in my thoat as the waitress came to get our drinks.
"Can I have a sprite, please?" Taylor asked.
"Sure thing sweetheart, and what about you young man?" The waitress asked turning to Chad.
"I'll have the same." He said.
"And you?" She said turning to Troy.
"Coke, please?" He said.
"Sure thing, and for you sweety?" She said to me.
"I just have a water." I said looking up at her. I knew she could tell I have been crying because she looked at me sympatheticly.
"Ok then." She said. "I will bring that right up." She turned around and disapeered into the kitchen. When she came back she had the drinks. She handed them to us and looked at me. She gave a small smile and once again I felt the lump in my throat grow.
"What can I get you all to eat?" She asked. Chad ordered the steak, Troy the cheeseburger, Taylor the blt sandwhich, and I ordered a small saled. The waitress walked back to the kitchen to get out meals. She came back and handed out the plates and walked away. There was little convrsations going on around me but I wasn't paying any attention to them. I could see out of the corner of my eye Taylor and Troy keep looking at me with sympathetic looks. I could feel the tears threatning to fall. I couldn't eat, I sat there and played with my food trying to forget.
'"Ella?" I head Troy say and I looked at him. "Are you ok?" He asked and I felt the tears fall down my face one after another. Troy just took me in his arms and held me. "SHH, Ella, everything is going to be ok." He wispered in my ear. I really wanted to believe him, but I just couldn't. I mean my parents are gone, and I will never see them again. Thinking this just made me cry harder and I continued to sob. I looked up and around me and realized everyone in the resturant was looking at me. Though there was not many people in the resturant, I still paniked and did the first thing I could think of. I got up and ran out the door. I heard Troy yell my name and I knew he would follow me. I got to the corner and kept running. I didn't stop until I got to the park and sat on the swing, crying. I heard someone walk up and knew it was Troy. He stood behind me and started to lightly push. "Ella," he started softly. "Are you ok?"
"Yes," I said. "I mean no, I don't know." I said and started to cry, again. He stop the swing and walked in front of me kneeling.
"I know this is going to be hard Ella. But I promise you with all my being that I will be there for you every step of the way." He said wiping my tears away.
(Troy's POV)
She looked up at me and I realized I wanted so bad to kiss her. I knew that it would probably make things worse. Her loosing her parents and all. And I knew it could never happen. I mean she is the one that said she didn't have feelings for me. I guess I would just have to live with knowing there could never be an us.
"Thank you Troy." She said to me. "It's just so hard. I mean there is so many things that I can't do with my parents. Like my dad can't walk me down the isle on my wedding day." She said looking at me. Hearing her talk about her wedding day hurt me.
"I know it's hard." I said. "Why don't we go back to my house and get some hot chocolate and watch a movie?" I asked, seeing that the clouds were turning black and it was going to rain soon.
"I would like that." She said giving me a small smile.
(Gabriella's POV)
Walking back to Troy's car I got cold wearing only my blue baby t and I started to shiver. I guess Troy saw, because the next thing I knew his jacket was wrapped around my shoulders. I looked at him and smiled.
"You looked cold." He said.
"Thank you." I said and we finshed our walk back to his car. When we got back to his house his parents said they wanted to talk to me.
"I will wait downstairs for you." Troy said as he started down to the basement.
"Yes, Mr. and Mrs. Bolton?" I said walking over to the island in the middle of their kitchen and sitting down.
"Gabriella, I know this is hard, but we need to talk about the arrangments." Mrs. Bolton said. I looked down at my hands knowing that this was coming.
"I know, but I don't know what to do." I said looking at them.
"We cn help you, Gabi." Mr Bolton said.
"Thank you." I said.
"So Gabi, when would you like to have the wake and the funeral?" Mrs. Bolton asked.
"Never, but if I had to choose a date, I would have to say the wake this thursday and then the funeral right after." I said hoping that that was ok.
"Ok and we can have the reseption after here." Mr. Bolton said. I gave him a small smile thankful that him and his wife are willing to help me.
"Thank you so much, Mr. and Mrs. Bolton." I said looking between the two.
"And Gabriella, we will handle everything else. The flowers and the caskets, if that is ok with you?" Mrs. Bolton said looking at me with soft eyes.
"That would be great and thank you again." I said.
"You'r welcome." They said as I started to get up.
"And Gabriella," Mrs. Bolton started.
"Yes?"
"We are truley sorry." She said. "We have know your parents for so long, and it hurts us to know that they are gone. I can't imagine what you are going through." She said and I saw a couple tears come to her as well as I felt them come to mine.
"Thank you." I said and turned to go down the stairs as the tears filled my eyes. When I got to the bottom Troy was looking at me and I knew he could see the tears. He motioned for me to come sit beside him, and I did. He wrapped his arm aound my shoulder and I leanded into him and he pushed play on the remote to start the movie.

When I woke up, I realized I was sleeping next to Troy, and it was the next morning. He looked so peacful in his sleep. I know I have thought this many times before, but hey, he does. I laid my head on his chest and took a deep sigh. My parents were going to be lowered into the ground in two days and there was nothing I could do about it. I tried not to cry at the thought of it. I have cried so much in the last couple days. I hoped that once school started in 2 weeks that people wouldn't treat me different. I was going to end up crying and I can't crying anymore. Most my relatives were coming in today. They were going to stay in a hotel on the outskirts of town.
I sat there thinking that my parents have been gone for almost 4 days. It feels like yesterday. I keep seeing it in my head, not that I was there, but I keep picturing what the officers said to me. I kept pictureing the looks they had on there faces.
"Hey, how long have you been up?" A voice said breaking me out of my thoughts.
"Not long." I said looking up at him.
"So, what do you want to do?" He asked.
"I don't know?"
"We could go get your car." He said looking at me.
"I don't know, it was a gift from them. It just wouldn't feel right. Its going to bring back to many memories." I said looking in his eyes.
"Gabriella," he said, and I knew he wan't kiding around. He never brought out my full name. "I know it is so soon and all, but your parents wouldn't want you like this. They wouldn't want you to give up the car, you life. They would want you to be happy." He said looking at me. I thought to my self that I couldn't be happy. I know its childish but Troy dosen't love me. How can I be happy?
"I know, but its hard." I said.
"I'm not asking you to go skipping throught thr halls today, but I hate seeing you like this." He said and at that point I wanted to kiss him.
"I guess we could go get the car." I said. "If thats ok?" I said.
"Yea, that fine."
"Is it ok if I take a shower first?" I asked him.
"Yea go ahead." He said as I got up and walked to the bathroom. The warmth of the water felt good. When I got out and me and Troy drove to my house, there was a pile of things on my front porch. When we walked up I saw that there was cards and pics. I wanted to cry, there was so many, from my parents friends, and people in the neighborhood. People loved my parents and they cared. I realized I would never really be alone. Troy and I picked up all the things and brought them in the kitchen to look through them. After about a half an hour the was knock at the front door. Troy went to the door and opened they door.
"Where is she?!" I heard one of my best friends Kelsi say.
"In the kitchen." I heard him say. Then next thing I knew all of closest friends were running into the kitchen. I was lifted to my feet and hugged by everyone. Kelsi and her boyfriend Jason Cross said they were sorry. Ryan and his girlfriend Martha said they would do anything for me. Zeke Baylor, Sharpay's boyfriend baked me cookies.
"God, Zeke do you live in the kitchen or something. For every acation you have something made. You brought brownies to home comeing." Jason said as everyone laughed, including me. I felt alittle good laugh again. I looked over at Troy to see that he was leaning against the door frame looking at me and I smiled at him.
