Unexpected Events
Chapter 9: Messes and Melodies…
jumps out of curtains – I'M BACK!! AND I'M READY TO WRITE SOME MORE –dramatic pause – Of "UNEXPECTED EVENTS!!
Gabriella was discharged from the hospital, and she couldn't feel better… but she remembered the dream with her dad, and when she got home, she got out a piece of paper and a pen. She wrote the song about being in denial of seeing her dad, and she left it out.
"Gabriella, someone wants to see you…" her mom said. Gabriella got up and walked down the stairs to find her mother standing to some man.
"Gabriella, this is Robby. Robby, this is Gabriella, my daughter." Her mom said as Robby held out his hand. Gabriella grudgingly took it and shook hands with him. She noticed a look in his eye, like he was eager to meet her. Gabriella stepped back, taking a look at this Robby; he had long black hair, and piercing eyes. Gabriella couldn't notice that he had a matching complexion as her.
"Nice to meet you, your wonderful mother has told me SO much about you," he said. Gabriella nodded. (an: I wrote this in authors perspective…)
"Well, I must be going; I need to go out to the store, thank you for introducing me to your daughter…" Roby said as he grabbed his keys.
"Goodbye," her mom said as he shut the door. Then she turned to Gabriella and gave her a look.
"What?" Gabriella asked.
"Well, what do you think of him?" she asked, a pleading look in her eyes.
"I think he is polite, and he sounds like a nice guy…" Gabriella said uncertainly.
"Uh huh…" her mom said. They stared at each other.
"Well, I'm going to go over to Taylor's, be back later…" Gabriella said as she walked out the front door. Little did she know, Troy was on her balcony, opening the door, due to the fact that the light was on.
IN GABRIELLA'S ROOM…
Troy opened the door and shut it with a click. He looked around to find no Gabriella. He moved over to her desk, and he saw the song… he read the first few lines…
I'm not exactly happy with myself.
I wonder if I belong here.
I don't know where I need to go…
What am I still doing here?
What am I supposed to do?
How can I live?
I can't be alive without you…
I'm in denial…
Troy read the rest of the song, thinking something was happening… but what was it? He thought she was hitting herself, or someone was hitting her. He left the house by his "secret entrance" and hit the road, looking for her. He just missed her as she left Taylor's…
-- Later that night…
Gabriella walked down the stairs to get a glass of water, when she heard Robby talking on the phone.
"Baby, come over here," he pleaded. Gabriella gasped out loud, and she bolted up the stairs. He followed her as he knew where she was going… he shoved her as he ran into her mom's room.
"MOM, ROBBY WAS TALKING ON THE PHONE TO SOME GIRL AND THEY WERE GONNA MEET HERE!!" Gabriella shouted as she walked into the room.
"YOUR DAUGHER IS DELUSIONAL... I would never cheat on you, my baby." Robby said in his defense.
"Mom, it's not true!" Gabriella protested.
"Gabi, you should lie down," her mother said.
"But he is cheating on you!" Gabriella insisted.
"Your mother's right, go lie down," Robby said, pretending to care.
"YOU'RE GOING TO BELIEVE A FREAKING BOYFRIEND OVER YOUR OWN DAUGHTER?!" Gabriella screamed as she glared at Robby.
"Gabriella, go to bed!" Robby ordered her.
"You're not my fucking father!!" Gabriella screamed.
"Gabriella, that's no way to talk to my fiancé." Her mother said, stressing the word "fiancé"
"WHAT?!" Gabriella hollered, "YOU'RE GONNA MARRY A TWO-TIMING CHEATING LYING TWOFACED BACKSTABBER?!"
"GO TO BED!!" Robby and her mom yelled as Gabriella started to cry. She left the room and slammed the door behind her...
-- TROY AND GABRIELLA'S ARGUMENT…
"Troy, what are you doing here?"
Troy opened the door and walked in as Gabriella gasped. He had a menacing look on his face.
"Gabriella, I need to ask you a serious question…"
"Yeah?"
"Are you hurting yourself, or is someone hurting you?" Troy bellowed as Gabriella winced, he was never this serious.. .and loud!
"No Troy,"
"I found the song…"
"What song?"
"On your desk…"
"That was a song about my dad, I had a dream about him while I was in the hospital… and I was saying that I needed to find out what he meant, and that I couldn't find it out here… I'm not emo, and I'm not going to commit suicide Troy," Gabriella explained as Troy sighed. They heard the front door slam as Gabriella got up.
"What was that about?" Troy asked as Gabriella filled him in.
"Why won't your mom believe you?"
"LIKE I KNOW!" Gabriella said as she walked down the stairs, with Troy at her heels. She peeked through the window and saw him get into a car as it began to rock back and forth. Robby saw the light from the house and ran inside. Troy and Gabriella looked at each other as the walked up the stairs. Robby grabbed Gabriella's heel as he dragged her down the stairs. Troy turned around as he saw Gabriella struggle. He punched Robby as Gabriella got up. The two teens and Robby began a full out fight as Gabriella's mom FINALLY got up. She stumbled down the stairs and saw the fight. She grabbed the phone and silently called the cops. When they answered, she put it on mute. The authorities knew this and immediately started to get ready to come. (AN: If someone is in your house, and you're hiding, call the cops and put the phone on mute, then they will come… don't let them pick up then hang up, cause they';; call back, and the stranger will hear the phone and get you, call and then mute your phone… little safety lesson for you!)
Robby pulled a move that no one saw. He pointed a gun at the teens as he grabbed them, threatening to shoot.
"If you move, you'll get shot!" Robby hissed into their ears.
"Robby… why??" Maria asked, sobbing.
"Because Maria, these two are ruining my prostitution scandal… that's why!"
"Take me instead…" Maria said.
"No mom!!" Gabriella shouted.
"Fine," Robby said as he shoved the teens over. Maria walked over and knelt down as she faced her death. Troy tried to hold Gabriella back, but she was somehow too strong for him. Gabriella tackled the gunman as the gun went off….
