Chapter 10…..Movie marathon dilemma

Gabi walked home, slowly and tripping every now and then as her sight was blurred by the tears building up in her eyes. When she reached her home she opened the door and ran to her room, ignoring the questioning glance of her mother. Gabi locked the door behind her and fell onto her bed. Today had been too eventful she needed someone to be there for her. Gabi wracked her brains of someone to talk to and smiled when she thought of one person, who she could trust and knew her secret. Chad, Chad may have been the equivalent of a hyperactive five year old but Gabi knew that no matter what she could count on him. Her hands fumbled over the buttons of her cell phone.

10 minutes later Chad was knocking loudly at her door. Gabi ran down the stairs and open the door.

When Chad saw her he knew she must have talked to troy. Her eyes were puffy and her mascara was running down her pale face.

"Oh, Gabi" Chad sighed.

Gabriella fell into his arms and cried, Chad was there for her in every way possible. He just held her as she cried not attempting to make her feel better. Which was what she needed, no words could make her feel any better now. She needed to break free of all her problems.

Once Gabi regained composure she recounted the whole story to chad and everything she had to do. Chad couldn't believe just looking at Gabi that she had been through so much. She really needed something to cheer her up and he had a feeling that nothing he did could do would. But although he didn't have anything to cheer her up he could at least try to take her mind off Troy.

"How about a movie marathon" Chad smiled

Gabi beamed back they always used to have a movie marathon if either of the two were down, as close as she was to Taylor Gabi always felt that chad could relate to her more. she was unsure as of to why but it didn't matter, he was like her big brother.

Gabi got up and picked up a selection of movies ranging from comedy to sad movies. She picked up a black books series DVD and put that into the pile, he and Chad always watched it when they were together. The last movie she picked up was A walk to remember. This movie reminded her so much of her story that it brought a smile to her face, they were definitely watching this.

Gabi and Chad sat watching movies till 1 o' clock in the morning. They had decided it was too late for him to go home so Chad would crash on the couch.

Just as Gabi was getting up she winced, and fell back down.

"Gabi" Chad said panicked

"Im fine just a bit dizzy" Gabi said sounding slightly out of it.

That had scared Gabi, last time that had happened she had been in hospital for a week, it was when she had been diagnosed. Gabi stood once more, and watched as the walls seemed to sway in front of her. She ran a hand threw her hair and noticed a fair bit came out she groaned, she wanted to keep her hair. Gabi headed towards the stairs out of the living room.

Chad was still extremely concerned with Gabi's sudden dizziness. He sat down slowly on his couch bed, when there was a thump from upstairs. He darted up only to find a unconscious Gabi on the floor.


When troy had arrived home, he spoke to no one. He walked out to his basketball hoop and threw the ball and the backboard as hard as he could, he couldn't get one in. he stood belting the ball and the ring for a good 30 minutes trying to get rid of all these bottled up emotions.

Little did he know that his dad was watching his son from the window, trying to read his sons pained face. He knew something was up, normally troy would open up to him but this time no matter how many times he asked, troy would not say a peep. He watched as his son collapsed onto the ground a hand over his eyes trying to hide the tears silently falling.

Troy walked up to the house 10 minutes later and pushed past his parents ignoring their concerned faces. He walked up to his room and slammed the door. he grabbed his stuff and walked to the bathroom.

Troy jumped into the shower. Troy allowed the scorching hot beads of water to soak him trying to wash all of his cares away. Once he was clean he got out, got changed and then fell onto his bed emotionally exhausted, where Troy fell into a deep dreamless sleep.
