From Hate to Love
TROY'S MOM!
What would my dad be doing working with, Lizzie. I had to find out. I kept reading and saw that Liz sent a report to my dad to prosecute, Greg for attempting of murder. I couldn't believe my eyes were actually reading this. Oh come on Gabs. You can see it right in your face and your hands. As I read along I saw that she also confessed to my dad that Greg isn't really Troy's father. Whoa! I didn't see that coming. Ok maybe I did but not like this.
It was all just to much for me in one day. I left the file and everything I took to look at, on the table. I went over to my room and went to the balcony. I looked down at the swing, that my dad built when I was 6. Back then, that was my favorite spot, since my dad always pushed me on it. As I looked at it I had a flashback from the first day my dad showed me the swing.
I was just coming home from the store with mom on a Saturday evening…..
Flashback—
"Mommy, where's daddy?" I asked as I set down the bag on the floor.
"Sweetie, he's out back." My mom said as she put the milk in the refrigerator.
I walked out side just to see daddy pulling on a rope.
"Daaaaddddyyy!!" I said as I went running into his arms.
He hugged me tight the through me in the air. He through me so high I pulled my arms towards him. I started laughing .
"Aww that's going straight in the photo album." Mommy said as she walked back inside with the camara in her hands.
"Sweetie I have a surprise" he said with a huge smile on him.
"Ooo I wove surpwises tell me."
"You see this" he said as she pointed to a swing.
"Yes me get a swing?" I said as I clapped my hands.
"Yes you get a swing" he said as he sat me down .
I tried to make the swing go front and back but I couldn't. Darn my small legs. Just moments later I heard a small laugh and I felt my dad push me. I let out a small giggle since I haven't been on a swing of my whole 6 years of age.
End of Flashback..
Just after the memories I went downstairs and out the back door. I slowly went over to the swing since I haven't been there since 7 years old. As I walked over I held my hand out to it. The second I touched the rope all the memories from the afternoons with him pushing me in the swing came back to me. I sat down with great care, with my both hands holding onto each rope. I gently laid my head on one side and looked up.
"Daddy, help me out here. I want to finish this case for you but the other half tells me I shouldn't. I mean you saw what I saw today. Is it true that Greg is not Troy's Father? If it is. Who is his father? I need to know because who ever it is I wonder who would let there child with such a horrible man." I let out a sigh and put my head down. Just seconds after I looked up again.
"Dad one last thing. Give me a sign telling me to finish it or not to finish it for you. I need one because I'm really confused here. Nice talking Daddy. Talk to you later." With those words let out I disappeared into my house.
In Gabriella's Dream….
As soon as I closed my eye lids I found myself trapped in a room. No way in, no way out. I looked around trying to figure out how to escape.
"Abby my little angle!" I heard this very familiar voice. Could it be? I sure hope so. I turned around and saw who I hoped it was. He was standing there with a white suit. A button nose just like me and dark brown hair.
"Daddy!" I ran into his arms and I twirled me around, put me down and kissed my forehead.
"How's daddy's little princess doing now." I let out a huge smile. Wow it has been a long time since someone had told me that.
"Lonely. I missed you daddy. Even though I'm 18 I will always be know as your little princess. What are you doing here?"
"Well you tell me. It's your dream." He said as he laced our hands together and started to walk.
"Right but I don't know why still."
"Ok fine I do." He said finally confessing.
"Why dad?"
"Well you want a sign didn't you?"
"Yes I did. So tell me do I finish or not?"
"Tell yourself. Do you want to?"
"Like I told you dad. Half of me says yes but the other half says no."
"Ok just one more thing to figure out. What do you like is right?" he asked as he sat on a bench surrounded by flowers.
"Whoa where did this come from?"
"Again sweetie. It's dream." He said as pulled me onto his lap like old time. I laid my head on his shoulder as he held my tight.
"Ok so what do you think is the right thing?"
"Well I asked you. So you tell me." he said as he kissed my head and laid his head on mine.
"To do the case." I sighed and lifted my head up. "But just know this. I'm only doing this for you and Lizzie."
"Yes of course. Now put down that pretty little head of yours and fall asleep." I did as he requested.
"I love you sweetie." He said whispering it into my ear. I took in a sniff of his colon he had on, the same one he had on the day he left.
"I love you too Daddy. Now and always." After those words my dad started sing the words from the one song he loved to sing to me 'My little Girl' by Tim McGraw.
Gotta hold on easy as I let you go
Gonna tell you how much I love you though you think you already know
I remember I thought you looked like an angel wrapped in pink so soft and warm
You've had me wrapped around your finger since the day you were born
Beautiful baby from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again
Go on take on this whole world but to me you know you will always be
My little girl
When you were in trouble that crooked little smile would melt my heart of stone
Now look at you I've turned around and you've almost grown
Sometimes your asleep I whisper I love you in the moonlight at your door
As I walk away I hear you say "daddy love you more"
Beautiful baby from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again
Go on take on this whole world but to me you know you will always be
My little girl
Someday some boy will come and ask me for your hand
But I won't say yes to him unless I know
He's the half that makes you whole
He has a poets soul
And the heart of a mans man
I know he'll say that he's in love, but between you and me
He won't be good enough
Beautiful baby from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again
Go on take on this whole world but to me you know you will always be
My little girl
Once he finished the last words I fell right sleep.
End of Gabriella's dream./
"Daddy!" I yelled out as I woke up. I got straight out of bed and went over to my balcony and looked up.
"Daddy I will finish it for you I promise. Thank you. I love you." As I was about to walk back inside I felt a breeze and a whisper.
"Good night my little angle. I love too forever." I put my hand on the necklace he gave me from a little girl and looked up. I smiled knowing he was looking down on me. I went back into my bed, grabbed the necklace, and fell asleep with a smile on my face.
Next day at school..
As I walked in I saw that people were giving me these weird looks. Next thing I know someone comes up to me and says "I swear I didn't do it." Then he ran back to his friends scared. By this time I was really getting confused.
I was about to turn the corner to where my locker was but was only pulled back and pushed the other direction by Kelsi and Taylor.
"Whoa girls my locker is this way." I said as I turned back. When I approached my locker I saw all this graffiti on it. There were words like slut, bitch, whore, fat, geek, and nerd. But the one word that really got me pissed was.
Ha ha you have no father
I turned around and screamed out. "Who the hell did this to my locker and why?" I said I was so angry.
It didn't take long to find out who it was. I saw Jake and Cody come over still laughing. Jake and Cody are the main pranksters at East High. They once pulled a prank during Sharpay's audition for a play. Luckily she got to do it over again.
"Man you should the look on your face when you saw it." Said, Jake while he was holding onto his stomach.
"Do you think this is funny?" I said as I dropped my books and bag on the ground and yelled my guts off.
"Yes but chill it was just a prank." Said Cody with a kinda scared face.
"Funny? Funny?! I'll show you funny." I said as I pulled my hand up. I was about to sock one of them in the face but I was stopped by someone.
"Gabriella don't it's not even worth it for you to do it." Troy said as he stepped in front of me and let my hand go.
"Yes it is. I'm not gonna let them make fun of my dad like that. They are not getting away with it." I couldn't believe he was saying this, he knows I don't let anyone a chance to say those things about my father. I mean he of all people should know that.
"They won't. They are going to get their ass kick in a short period of time." He said with a smirk on his face. What is this boy up to now?
"Oh yeah by who?" asked on of the boys. Troy then rolled his eyes and turned around with a HUGE smile on his face.
"By me. Got a problem with that?" he asked as he crossed his arms. By this point I walked aside of both guys watching the tension of there talk.
"Riiiiiiggghhtt" said both guys as the started laughing. Then Troy just tagged along.
"Yeah what was I thinking?" Then he randomly just stopped and through a punch at Jake then at Cody.
The fight was on.
Jake and Cody teamed up on Troy but he didn't back down. Just moments later Mr. Stevens, the principal, came out and got the boys to go to his office.
"Gaby what happened?" asked Taylor as she approached me with Kelsi and Sharpay.
"I don't know but I think Troy stood up for me."
"See? I told you he likes you."
"Sharpay shut up." I gave her a glare. She was never suppose to say something like that in front of no one. Cause or else Tay or Kels will find out. Lucky for her they were looking at some guys down the hall. Wait is that no it can't be.
CHAD? KEVIN?
"Hello girls?" I said as I snapped my fingers in front of there faces. I was doing that for a bout 2 minutes until they finally got out of their trance.
"So what were we talking about?"
"Gee I don't know Kels."
"Oh I remember you were drooling over Gabs' cousin and Taylor over Chad Danforth."
"No we weren't, we were wondering if Chad's afro grew bigger or smaller."
"You know what Tay they caught us." Said Kelsi finally confusing.
"We always do. So Kels you like my cousin huh?"
"Yeah he's cute."
"Aww you guys would make a cute couple, but I thought you liked Ryan?"
"Whoa you like my brother?" asked Sharpay with a confused face.
"Well duh Shar who else was she making the googly eyes at?"
"I always thought it was for me." Then after those words the girls cracked up laughing.
With Troy in the principal's office..
No one's POV…
The whole room was in silence. Jake and Cody were sitting on one side of the room and Troy in the other so that way they won't start again. Mr. Stevens was at his desk watching Troy giving a glare over to the other boys.
"Ok care to tell me the reason why you boys were throwing punches at each other in MY school?"
"Well tell these asses not to graffiti Gabriella's locker and make fun of that her father who isn't with us any more. Then maybe there would have never been in a fight." Troy said with a pretty loud and angry.
"Ok Mr. Bolton but there is no need for that language." He said trying to calm down Troy. Then as soon as he was done talking to Troy he looked over at the boys." Now. Boys, why graffiti Ms. Montez's locker?"
"Well Mr. Stevens we would have never graffiti it if she never spreaded a rumor that we are gay." Said Jake he has a reputation for lying as well.
" What the fuck man she is the sweetest person you will ever meet and you know that. " Troy said with an angry voice. Troy practically got up from his chair and almost hit him but was forced back down by Mr. Stevens who is now standing in between them.
"NOW! Mr. Dawson and Mr. Simons will clean up Ms. Montez's locker and clean up the lunch room everyday for the rest of the month. Am I understood?" he said as he looked at the both boys.
"Yes sir." Jake and Cody said together. Then Mr. Stevens looked over to Troy with a sad face.
"Now Mr. Bolton it is painful for me to tell you this but you are suspended from basketball privileges for 1 week starting on today. And I will inform your uncle on this."
"Yes sir I understand. Thank you."
"Now you three go I have work to be done." He said shushing them to the door. As they walked out both Jake's and Cody's friends were outside waiting for them.
"You better watch your back Bolton." Said Jake with a very serious voice of tone. Troy just ignored the comment and kept on walking away.
Troy's POV
I just ignored his stupid comment and kept on walking. I had just reached my locker when I saw James leaning against my locker.
"Excuse me I need to get to my locker." I said as I pointed to my locker. He got up from against it and moved back on another one.
"Thank you" he said quietly but I was still able to hear.
"Are you serious? Cause I mean after how I treated Gabriella I would have never thought."
"Dude I'm serious. Just don't ever brake her heart again."
"That won't be a problem." I said as I smiled.
HAHA he finally got his respect from James. Ok so how will it go with Troy's dad whoo hoo.
So I hope you guys like it. Please comment on the story thanks.
Peace.
