Yes, that's right, two in one day! I'm on a roll! :P
Troy POV
I don't know why I was so surprised that she had a boyfriend. I mean really, she obviously wasn't going to wallow and wait for me forever was she? Maybe deep down I was hoping that was the case, because I'll admit, I still have feelings for her and I think I always will. I guess I'd hoped she might have been single and we could have worked our way back to how we were and give things another go but that wasn't going to happen. Well, just when I thought this day was getting better, it takes a nose dive!
"Oh right, I see. Well have fun and I'll see you soon then." I pretty much spat out before opening the door and getting into my car. I gave her a small wave before driving away, back towards my house.
Damn Troy, how stupid could you get? Did you honestly think she would suddenly become your girlfriend again? Whoever this Logan is, he's one lucky guy! I just wonder what he's like, how long have they been together, is she happy? He best be treating her right! Well, I'm sure anyone is treating her better than I did. I don't deserve her anyway. Once I got home, I turned the engine off and pulled my phone out to text Chad.
Hey man, talk with Gabriella went as good as it could go. I'll speak to you later about everything - Troy
I was lost in my thoughts for the rest of the day.
Gabriella POV
I shut the door once I'd watched Troy's car disappear down the street. Talking with him hadn't been half as bad as I thought it would be. I didn't feel any more upset than I did before he arrived. Actually, I felt rather peaceful. It was so nice to finally get an apology from him. Maybe now I can finally get rid of all those hateful and upsetting feelings I have towards him. His apology seemed heartfelt and genuine and so in time, I do feel as if I could forgive him.
His reaction to Logan threw me off though. He almost looked disappointed? I know deep down I still harbor some feelings for him, could that possibly mean he feels the same? Then again, I have Logan now. I wouldn't really classify him as my boyfriend but we had been seeing each other for a while and I enjoyed his company. He was a lovely guy and the complete opposite of Troy; blonde hair, brown eyes and a complete bookworm, who hated sports.
Troy coming back into my life had completely confused me though.
I decided not to think about any boy trouble for the time being and thought it would be best to get the rest of my homework assignments finished before the weekend if I planned on spending it with Logan. I hadn't seen him in a week so I was looking forward to him being back. We met during my second year at U of A. He was just starting his third. He wants to be a lawyer so I'm pretty sure he's currently applying to some different Law schools, although I think his mind is set on Harvard. I'm not even gonna think about what that would mean for us if he moved away. I didn't know if I was ready to get my heart broken again!
Taylor called me around 6 to ask how it went with Troy. I gave her as much detail as I could and relayed what he had said to her. She felt he was definetly trying to win my trust back but agreed with not jumping right back into the friendship we had before he left. I then told her about his reaction to Logan and all she had to say was "Boys are weird, I don't think we'll ever understand their emotions." She hung up then, telling me Chad was getting impatient and told me she'll see me soon.
I didn't know what to do with myself for the rest of the night. I finally decided to go bed early which probably turned out to be the wrong idea. All I ended up thinking about was Troy and our conversation from this afternoon.
I slept in late the next morning since I didn't have classes. Whilst lazing around in bed, reading one of my science text books, my phone beeped, alerting me to a text.
Hey baby, my flight gets in at around 7 tonight. I can't wait to get home and see you! Meet you outside the coffee shop downtown tomorrow at about 2? Let me know - Logan x
His text made me smile. I text him back and let him know that his plan was fine with me. I'd have to call Sharpey later and ask her what would be best to wear tomorrow. She was the most fashionable out of all of us! If she didn't like what someone was wearing, she would set them straight. It's nice to be able to call her a friend after all the trouble during high school. I guess people grow up.
Whilst lying there in bed, I started thinking about Logan and our relationship. I liked him and he made me happy, but I couldn't help but compare him to Troy. I think I'd even been doing it subconciously, even before he returned to Albuquerque. Troy had made me extremely happy when we were going out and I'd never loved anyone like I loved him.
I was worried Troy would always be there, floating around in my brain and no could make me as happy as he did.
