Chapter 8
Gabriella's POV
"Shar?"
"Yeah" she looked up at me.
"Are you mad at me?"
"Well" she looked down. "I was, but I understand why you left. But all of us tried to get Troy to forget about you, and he wouldn't. He is always just staying at your house or visiting his parents and then he's just staying in his old room. He doesn't want to forget about you"
"So you were mad at me, you thought I just left and wouldn't come back. And you tried to forget about me?"
"Yeah I'm sorry hun. I'm not mad at you anymore but I think everybody else is. 'Cause Chad and Troy got in a fight and Chad told he wouldn't be his friend anymore, and all of us followed Chad leaving Troy alone"
Poor Troy. He was really, really hurt and it was all because of me, and now everybody had turned their back on him. Everything was my fault.
"Oh no. Everything is my fault. I'm not blaming any of you. And I understand if you don't want to talk to me. But I have to talk to Troy"
"Well you know where he lives"
"Hey I have an idea. You want to be friends with him again right?" I asked Sharpay.
"Yeah" "Then drive with me home to Troy"
"Why?"
"Just ring the doorbell and tell him to come out and then I hide behind you so he won't see me. Then you surprise him, when I walk over to him, and he stops being mad at you"
"I'm kinda confused right now, but I'm sure it'll work"
Me and Jamie got into my car and Shar took her own then we drove home to me and Troy's house. I left the car on the other side3 of the road so Troy couldn't see it when he walked out. Now he would only see Sharpay's and then he wouldn't get suspicious. I took Jamie's hand and walked over to Sharpay.
"Gabby what about James?"
"Just carry him in your arms. And Troy will probably ask who it is, and then you just say he'll find out later"
"Okay sure"
"Jamie is it okay if aunt Sharpay carries you?" he nodded and Shar took him up and walked over to the door where she rang the doorbell, while I hide behind her. So troy couldn't see me. Of course Shar was thin, but if she was also holding Jamie, then Troy's change to see me was low. Shar didn't get any respond when she rang the doorbell so she did it again.
"Who it is?" A voice inside yelled. God it felt so good to hear Troy's voice, even though it was hard to hear it.
"It's me Sharpay"
"Shar what do you want? I'm not in the mood to talk"
"Troy I just want to talk to you, please come out"
"The door is open you can just walk in" Sharpay looked at me and gave me a 'help' look.
"Just say something" I whispered.
"Troy come out, it's a beautiful day outside and when was the last time you were outside?"
"When I visited my parents" he yelled.
"C'mon Troy, I have a surprise for you"
"I don't want your surprise Shar all I want is Brie"
"Troy please" Sharpay begged.
"Fine" he walked over to the door and opened it.
"What is it'?"
"Well first I want to say I'm really sorry, and I didn't mean to just walk away and I'm sorry all the time I've yelled at you"
"It's cool"
Troy's POV
I had first realized the boy she was holding now. Who was he? His eyes looked just like my.
"Who's that?" I pointed to the little boy.
"Well you'll find out later. Don't you want your surprise?"
"Sure" actually I didn't want it, but I didn't want to make Sharpay sad, by saying I didn't.
"Here it is" she said smiling and stepped to her left. I just looked at her like she was a weirdo. Then I looked to my front and saw…
"BRIE?" I screamed.
"Troy" she spoke. What? Was I dreaming? She looked even prettier than I remembered. She ran in to my arms and started crying.
"I'm so, so sorry" she said between tears. I hugged her tighter.
"Brie its okay, I still love you and I always did, not a single day went by without me loving you"
"I love you too" she said still crying. "I'm so sorry, I really am I never meant to do this"
"Babe its okay I'm here now" I looked at Sharpay and she had also tears in her eyes.
"I never meant to leave; I just didn't have a choice. He wanted to kill you and if I told him anything he would kill me, he had a gun." She said between tears.
I lifted her head so she looked right in to my eyes. "Brie it's okay. I understand" I leaned in and kissed her, for the first time in 3 years got I had missed her. She meant everything to me. About 3 minutes later she pulled back.
"Troy. Promise me you'll never leave my side and love me no matter what"
"I promise I could never stop loving you. You are my life"
"Well I have to tell you something. Remember I wrote something to you in the last letter that I wanted to tell you but couldn't because I had to tell you in person?" I nodded.
"Well" she walked over to Sharpay and she handed the little boy to her. Then she walked back and stood right in front of me.
"Troy this is my son, well actually it's…" I stopped her. "It's what? Who's the father?"
"You are" I looked at her confused. "He's 2 years and 3 months old. I was pregnant when I had to leave and I gave birth to a healthy boy 9 months later, 2 weeks overdue. It's yours. You are a dad. His name is James Alexander Bolton"
"You gave him my names?"
"Of course, he's your son, and anyway Bolton is also my name, remember we are still married" she showed me the ring, giving me a little smile.
I hugged both of them. "I love both of you" She kissed my cheek. "I love you too"
"Me love too" Jamie said and that made me smile. "Daddy" he said.
"How does he know?" I asked confused.
"You thought he wasn't thinking of his dad? I showed him tons of pictures of you; I wanted him to know who his dad was"
I was so happy to hear him call me daddy. It made me smile even bigger. "Thank you Shar, I owe you big time" I said giving her a hug. "How did you find her?" "Well she just showed up out of the blue" she said smiling.
"Well gotta go" she gave all of us a hug.
"Shar don't tell anyone I'm back. I want it to be a surprise"
"My lips a sealed" she walked to her car and drove off.
