By: coloradogirl42 a. k. a Calli (the very sorry author)

Recap:

"Gabs, you are not stupid, you are one of the smartest, most beautiful girls I know. He's the stupid one, he needs to apologize. Not you." Taylor told Gabby reassuringly.

"Thanks Tay, I needed that."

"No problem Gabby."

End Recap:

With Chad and Troy

"Dude, what did you say to Gabby?? Y'all were fine when we left. What happened??" Chad said angrily.

"Man, chillax. (I fully know that that word is pretty dorky, but I like it, so deal) She asked why I was dating Heather, and that she was such a bitch. I don't know really." Troy said rubbing the back of his neck.

"Dude, you are so lying. Why did you really say what you did?? I still don't know what you said."

"I want to break-up with Heather. I realized that there is no one on this Earth that I will love more than my Gabby. When she said that I don't know. It was just she didn't approve and I couldn't take it. I'm breaking up with Heather tomorrow."

"Get ready to be full on bitch slapped dude."

"Who is going to be full on bitch slapped??" said Taylor.

"Me." Troy replied.

"Why?"

"He's breaking up with Heather tomorrow, that's why." Chad answered.

"I see. You are going to be bitch slapped. I've seen how hard she's slapped Gabby…Oops."

"She's slapped Gabby??" Chad said shocked.

"My Gabby??" Troy said.

"First of all Troy, she's not yours…yet. Second of all, yes Heather has slapped Gabby." Taylor answered.

"Why??" Both Troy and Chad said.

"Well, it was right before y'all broke up. It was like she planned to break y'all up. But, back on topic. She slapped Gabby because she talked back to her. She said something; I wasn't really paying attention to Heather. Then Gabby said 'I don't think so.' And then Heather slapped Gabby. Pretty hard, I might add." Taylor replied.

"Why didn't we know about it??" Troy asked.

"Y'all were at semi-finals." Taylor said.

"Oh." They both said in realization.

"Ya, and the morning y'all came back Candy and Rod had been caught making out in the principal's office and that's what all the gossip was about." Taylor added.

"Well, Gabby didn't say anything." Chad said.

"Of course she didn't dumbass. She wouldn't want all the attention on her. She'd rather have her cheek in pain than have people worry about her." Taylor replied.

"Typical Gabby." Chad and Troy said.

"What's typical me??" Gabby asked.

"Um-uh-a-um." The guys started.

"Nothing Gabby, really. We were just talking about how you stuck up for the educationally gifted people like us. Last week when Candy was bashing them." Taylor came up with immediately.

"Oh, ok. I'll be right back."

"Okay Gabby." Chad said.

"Why didn't she talk to you??" Chad said again.

"You mean…you didn't tell him what you said to make Gabby cry??" Taylor to Troy surprised.

"I was getting to it." Troy mumbled.

"I don't care it you were getting to it I want to know what was said!!" Chad yelled.

"I'll tell you." Gabby spoke softly with her eyes looking at the floor.

"Ok…what was said??" Chad asked.

Gabby explained the conversation again, and ended up in tears again.

Chad looked like he could kill Troy for saying that to Gabby.

Troy looked really ashamed of what he had said.

Taylor was sitting there understanding both sides of the story. She was Switzerland. (That line goes to hsmgirlie333)

Gabby was sobbing and was on her way to her bed.

Taylor and Chad said their 'good-byes' separately. After they left, an awkward silence filled the room. All you could hear was Gabby's soft sobs residing as she was slowly falling asleep. Once Troy was sure she was asleep he softly said, "I'm sorry Bella. I love you…always and forever." But, Gabby wasn't asleep at all she heard what Troy said loud and clear but was quiet about it.

10 minutes later.

Gabby hadn't heard a peep out of Troy once he had said those words, so Gabby assumed he had gone to sleep. (Gabby, Gabby, didn't your mother tell you to never assume anything until you know the facts??)

So, she gathered up all the courage she had and softly said, "I love you too Troy, always and forever."

Troy heard her words and was jumping with joy that she still loved him. He knew that it was going to be a very hard journey to get his Bella's trust back, but he was ready to see and face anything the world wanted to throw at him. Because he wouldn't stop until he got his Bella back.

They both got a great nights sleep that night knowing that the person they loved, loved them back. They couldn't wait to see what tomorrow would bring.

Okay, I hope y'all are still reading the story and haven't totally given up on me. I AM SO SORRY for not updating like I said I would. I'm not even using my own computer right now. I'm using my step-dad's.
