Okay, I finally got around to writing this, so here is it. Thank you so much for all the reviews.
…and in walked in Kevin followed, closely, by Taylor, Kelsi, and Martha. the three girls were trying to stop him, but it didn't work. I don't think Kevin could even understand.
"What's going on?"
"Troy just came in here to help me with some stuff." I wiped off my eyes so he wouldn't notice that I had been crying. Taylor looked nervous, Kelsi looked scared and Martha looked nervous and scared. "Why didn't you just call me for help?"
I was so surprised by his question, all I could say was, and "I thought that you were mad at me."
I looked at my friends for help and Martha seemed to get it. "Why don't we go out and get something to drink?"
"Yeah that sounds great." I answered so fast that everyone looked at me.
We headed out of my room to the kitchen for some drinks. "What do you guys want? I have soda, milk, water, and apple juice." I got two waters, and three sodas, and then walked into the living room where they were all watching a repeat of American Idol. "Hey, where did Kevin go? Did you see him come out?" They all muttered no so I went to look for him.
"Kevin, are you in here?" I opened my bedroom door to find him sitting on my bed. "Why aren't you out there watching TV with us?" He just laid there with his eyes closed. "Are you still mad at me? Is it about Troy, because he just dropped by when we were talking about the wedding? I didn't ask for him to come over the second time." I immediately regretted my words.
"What did you just say?" Kevin got up off the bed and looked at me. "I said that I wished that you weren't mad at me and I didn't ask for him to come over." I looked at him hoping that he wouldn't remember.
"No you said that you didn't ask him to come over the second time. He was over here twice?" He stood up and started pacing around the room. "Here's the thing. After you yelled at me and left, I was kinda called the last person I saw to help me. I totally forgot that I was supposed to have lunch with Taylor and everybody, which is actually the reason that Troy dropped me off in the first place. So we were looking through my senior yearbook when Taylor called. I told her to come over and then tried to push Troy out the door. He didn't really want to go so when I finally got him down to the parking lot they were pulling up. I swear I didn't ask him over the second time and I did make plans with the girls tonight."
I waited for him to answer. "Why did you have to call him?"
"I don't know. I just didn't want to have to deal with the girls screaming about how they were going to kill you because you yelled at me, which happened anyways. And everybody else was busy. I am really sorry, are you still mad?"
He sat down next to me and looked at my door. "I'm not mad at you. I just don't like you hanging out with Troy all the time. Do you have to keep seeing him?" I looked at him; I couldn't believe that he was asking me that.
"No, I can't stop seeing him. Ever since the reunion we have had so much fun. And besides, we have already decided that we are going to have a movie night every other Friday night. He is one of my friends Kevin, you can't ask me to do something like that to him." I couldn't keep on talking to him if he was going to be acting like this. "Just come out when you are ready."
"Hey why were you gone so long?" They all looked at me, expecting me to answer Troy' question. "Kevin and I just had to talk. Sure it didn't work out the way I thought that that it would or hoped it would. It'll all be okay."
Kevin came out of my bedroom, keeping his eyes on the floor. "Gabriella, can we go back in there and talk a little bit more?"
"Sure, I'll talk to you later guys. Keep on watching the TV."
When we went back into the room we both sat on the bed. "I'm sorry that I asked you to stop seeing Troy. I have really missed you in the last ten years and I want to date you. I couldn't stand it the day you told me that you wanted to see other people. Which is why, after I left I went to the mall to get you something."
"Wait a minute, if you didn't want to break up then why did you just leave? Why didn't you try and prove to me that we were meant to me or something like that?" Now it was my turn to stand up and start pacing.
"I thought that you wanted to break up so I just let go. And believe me it wasn't easy. I spent freshman year thinking about you all the time. My roommates got so annoyed they moved in with their girlfriends."
I laughed and smiled, "What was it that you got me?"
He pulled out a small jewelry box and sat me back down on the bed, got down on one knee and opened the box.
"Gabriella Montez, Will you marry me?"
I screamed so loud that everybody came running in.
"What happened?" Taylor yelled and almost ran over the bed.
We both laughed a little. "Nothing is wrong. There is one thing that I have to tell you though. I'm getting married!"
They all jumped up and down and hugged me. Except for Troy, he just stood there looking at his shoes. "Troy, aren't you going to congratulate me?" He just looked up and smiled a bit. "Congratulations"
"Can you give us a minute alone?" They all went back to watching TV in the living room.
"I have to tell you something before you put that ring on my finger. When Troy was here the first time, I was kind of trying to get him out and he kissed me and I kissed back." He looked at me like I was death or something.
"I can't marry you if you are going to lie to me and cheat on me." My breathing was getting shorter and shorter.
"So, were not getting married." Tears started going down my face. "Please-leave-my- place." He walked out the door and I could hear the door slam.
All I could do was lie down on my bed and cry. After a while Taylor came in and saw me crying.
"Ohmigoodness! What happened to you?" She sat down and hugged me.
"Kevin broke up with me. I didn't feel right marrying him without telling him about kiss. So, I told him and he said that he couldn't be with somebody that lied and cheated to him." I kept on crying until all of them were in there.
"Thanks guys. I really needed that."
All of them had this really weird look on my face.
Troy asked, "Where does he live?"
Okay, at least I didn't leave it a cliffy this time. This is not my favorite chaper but it needs to be in there. Please please review and tell me what you think.
