Chapter 11 - Moving
Troy's P.O.V
I woke up the next morning still upset about what I said to Gabriella. I know it was kind of mean but at least I can focus on my basketball. I can't lie when I said what I had with Gabriella has not been special because it was, truly special. I walked downstairs and saw my Dad sitting down. I wanted to talk to him but I know he will say it my entire fault and that I got what I deserve.
I walked to school and saw Gabriella sitting down but as soon as she saw me she went. I didn't think she will be this mad at me; she was the one leading me on. But what if she did mean what she said; she seemed honest when I talked to her yesterday.
I am such an idiot, I just got to talk to her and ask why she did it. I walked into homeroom and looked at Gabriella but every time I looked at her she looked away, was I really mean to her but I was upset and confused. Everything has been going weird since I met Gabriella, some for the better, some for the worst.
I was about to walk over to her when Taylor stood in front of me and she put her hand on my shoulder and told me ''Gabriella wanted me to give you this, it explains everything, she is really sorry, she truly does love you but she knows it over''.
Taylor gave me a letter and she walked off. I sat down on the chair and looked at Gabriella desk, she was gone. I opened the letter ''Hi Troy, I know you hate me, I hate myself and that's why I am going away. I don't know if I will be back. I am starting a new life no matter how much it hurts, I got to forgot about you, I make this decision this morning, and you can't stop me. Talking and seeing you is too painful, looking into your blue eyes, I just want to cry knowing I hurt you but I do love you. Remember me, Gabriella. P.S - Keep your head in the game, playmaker''.
I looked at the letter and I ran out the room, I ran out the door, not caring that the school day was not over. I ran out the school gates and saw Gabriella getting in a car, I knew it was too late, even I did follow her, what could I say, nothing would change her decision. But I guess this is how these things are, a special love can only happen once in a lifetime and I guess my chance was over.
I walked back into class and I saw the teacher and she asked ''why are you late Troy''. I looked at the teacher upset and told her ''I was watching my first love go out of my life''. I sat down at my desk and I saw Gabriella's empty desk, I just wanted to cry and tell her I am sorry.
The class ended and I walked up to my secret hideout, I just needed time away to think, well cry. I saw Chad come up the stairs and he said ''we want to get Gabriella back''. I looked at him still with tears in my eyes and I told him ''you can't cause Gabriella won't even talk to me and I don't know why''. I secretly did, it is because I was mean to her and now she is gone and I can never see her again.
Chad looked at me and told me ''we do''. I looked at him confused and he finished the sentence ''well your Dad heard the tape and he wanted to make Gabriella feel pain so when you said Gabriella is not important, she heard every word, she thinks you don't love her''.
I felt like crying even more, knowing I was part of the reason, well the whole reason. I just wanted to see her and I tell her I am sorry for not trusting her but we can blame me for what she did but it's over now because of those three little words that can mean so much.
