PS: there is finally a teeny-bit of Troyella in this chapter...
"Gabs!" I hear from behind me and I look and see Molly with Holly and Kelsi coming towards me "we we're looking all over for you! We found the good stuff!"
"The good stuff?" I said looking confused
"You know vodka, gin, that good stuff?" Molly said "now come one so we can get some of it" She says taking a hold of my hand and she drags me to a door with a sigh on it that says:
Please Do Not Enter!
Seriously there's a keg right behind you and it's the one thing I'm asking of you so please just leave this alone
"You guys maybe we shouldn't-"I say but Holly has already opened the door so I follow her inside the room. We go to grab something to drink but I hear something breaking from another room and Kelsi looks at me
"What did you do?"Kelsi says to me
"It wasn't me, it came from the other room, where the party is" I reply to her and then head out of the room and I see what all the commotion is over. Someone broke a bottle. I then hear high pitched laughing and I look up and I know exactly what that means. Sharpay's here.
You wanna know a secret about Sharpay? Our junior year she went to visit her stepsister at the University of Albuquerque and when she came back she was as bitchy as I've ever seen her. She snapped at everyone for just about everything but we didn't know why she was acting like this. We didn't want to push her because one thing we knew was that you don't push Sharpay when she's in a mood like that or well ever really.
We had all gone out to this Mexican restaurant towards the end of the school year. While me, Taylor, and Kate were all chowing down on the food Sharpay was barely eating a thing. I just remember we all sitting there talking when she blurted it out
"I had sex" She said to us and we just all looked well shocked. "It was only like 2 minutes" She said and right after the food came and she looked like a weight had been lifted off her shoulder now that she had revealed her huge secret and she was acting normal again eating and having normal conversation with us.
After dinner Sharpay paid for the meal with her mom's credit card that was only supposed to be used for emergency's and in Sharpay's words "This was an emergency". We all planned to go out clubbing that night but before that Sharpay said she had to go to the bathroom to fix her make-up. About 30 seconds after she left I felt the urge to go to the bathroom so I went to the bathroom right after her.
As I walked into the bathroom I expected to see Sharpay at the mirror fixing her makeup but as I walked in I saw her kneeling at the floor of the toilet with all the food she had just eaten now in the toilet.
"What are you doing in here?" She hissed at me
"I had to pee sorry" I said to her
"Well then pee" She said to me the bitchiness gone from her voice. I did and after I went over to her as she was now standing at the sink fixing her makeup and eating some tic-tacs to get the throw-up smell out of her mouth.
"It's not something I do all the time you know" She says to me
"Okay" I said about 2 moments later
"Don't tell Taylor or Kate or anyone about this"
"Alright"
"You guys are my family you know that right" She says to me and I honestly believe her as she says this. But now at the party I didn't know what we were as we were in a fight.
I watched as Sharpay, Kate, and Taylor made their way upstairs and after grabbing a beer for myself I head upstairs after them. As I make it upstairs I head over to where they are and Taylor spots me first
"Hey Gabi"
"Did you have permission to talk to me" I reply to her wondering if Sharpay is letting her talk to me.
"Oh don't be a bitch" Taylor says to me "You know Sharpay's upset over what you said about her"
"Is Kate mad?" I ask her looking over in Kate's direction seeing her with Joey as they are swaying to the music while he's talking to some other girl in the area like she isn't even there. I just want to go over and give her a hug.
Taylor hesitates a moment before replying
"She's not mad, you know how Kate is" She replies to me
I'm not sure if I believe her but I really don't want to start a fight so I don't fight it.
"You didn't call me today" After I say it I feel stupid for saying it. I feel like an outsider with my own friends. I mean really we haven't talked for less than a day and I feel like it's been forever.
"Sharpay was freaking out; she's really upset I told you that" Taylor replies to me
"You know it's true what I said about her though, don't you?"
"Doesn't matter if it's true. She's Sharpay. She's ours just like we're hers, you know?" After Taylor says that I have to agree with her. I mean in a way that's probably one of the smartest things I've ever heard her say in a long time. "You should tell her you're sorry"
"But I'm not sorry Taylor" I say but that's all I can make myself say. Part of me just wants to blurt out everything that's been going on. Tell her about Mr. Davis and Charlotte and going out with Molly, Kelsi, and Holly… but I just can't bring myself to do it.
"Just say it Gabi" Taylor says to me her eyes now wandering around the room and I see them lock on someone "Oh my god, I don't believe it" I hear her say and I don't even have to look over to know what she's talking about. Martha's here.
I feel like time has stopped all around me and I'm frozen. I don't want to turn around because part of me wants to believe that she won't be there and that maybe just maybe things will be different this time. But as I turn around I see Martha Cox standing in the doorway and I feel the blood in my body run cold as a chill runs down my spine.
"I don't believe it" Taylor says again and then turns towards Sharpay before I can say anything "Shar, did you see who's here" She says to Sharpay.
Martha just stands in the doorway looking well calm but like she's on a mission at the same time and she's going to do whatever it takes to get it done… I then snap out of my frozen state and throw myself forward. I have to get out of the room. I can't stand here and watch it happen all over again.
I'm making my way through the crowd of people forming to see what's going on but I'm probably the only one who's trying to get out of the room. I'm bumping into people, stepping on foots, doing whatever I just want out of the room.
I finally reach the doorway where Martha is blocking so I can't get through. I look up towards her and I see her staring at Sharpay and just by that look in her eyes I know that Sharpay is the one she really hates, but for some reason it doesn't make me feel any better.
Just as I'm about to push past her our shoulder's brush together and I feel a chill run down my spine as she looks at me.
"Wait" She says to me grabbing a hold of my wrist and her hand feels like ice on my skin.
"No" Is all I can reply to her and I break out of her grasp and stumble forward out of the room.
As I'm walking down the hall the images of the past flood through my mind, the thought of Sharpay and Martha getting into the fight, Martha being drenched in the punch that I threw on her. It was all too much for me to remember again.
I made my way down the hall not really noticing anything around me. I'm just so distracted that I really don't even notice Kyle until I've already bumped into him.
"Hey, you" He says to me sounding slightly drunk.
"Kyle…" I say pressing myself against him. "Let's get out of here; we can go to your house. I'm ready now. Just me and you" I say to him. I'm desperate at this point and all I want is to just get out of her by any means necessary.
"Whoa babe, Let me finish this drink and then well go" He says referring to the half-filled beer in his hand and looked he was about to walk away from me but I stopped him
"NO!" I said nearly shouting at him. Before he can even react to me though my lips are attached to his with both my hands on either side of his face and I'm shoving my body as close as I can to his. It takes him a moment to understand what I'm doing before he's all over me as well.
We're both staggering our way away from the crowd, bumping into walls and people along the way. I suddenly start hearing the chants in the background towards Martha and panic mode sets in me "We need to get a room now" I say to him quickly before he can understand what's going on and pull away from me.
"In here" He says pulling me into a side room. Once he closes the door behind him I lay down onto the bed waiting for him. I feel nauseous like I really shouldn't be doing this but it's either this or see Martha again so this seems like the better option at this point. As he lies down next to me I climb on top of him.
"Wait" He says to me
"Why? Isn't this what you want?" I say softly to him. Even through the room I can hear the chants and its making me feel sick to stomach. I just want to get this over with. I want to be with him to block out the sounds around me. I then throw myself at him again pressing our lips together. I feel him trying to undo the zipper of my dress and getting frustrated that he can't do it while kissing me.
I hear the fabric of my dress ripping and in a normal situation I'd yell at him but right now that's the least of my worries. I just pull the dress off of me and he then starts trying to take my bra off.
"Are you sure about this?" He says to me his words slightly slurred
"Just kiss me" I say to him hearing the chants still. The chants just keep echoing in my head and they won't go away. I feel like it's happening all around me despite the fact that we're in a completely different room.
I then try to bring my attention back to Kyle and I slide my hands under his shirt as I pull it off of him and then start kissing his neck. As I'm kissing him an image of Mr. Davis on top of me pops into my head but I push it to the back of my mind.
Our chests are now touching and with every kiss I can hear this sound like we're sticking together from our sweaty bodies touching and pulling away so many times. At one point his hands fall away from me but I keep kissing him, moving up and down his chest.
I realize he's gotten quiet not really reacting to anything. I just try to think that maybe he's in shock that this is actually happening, because normally whenever we attempt to do anything like this he's always the one to take charge.
"Kyle?" I whisper to him and I hear a soft moan come from him "Are we still doing this?" I say to him, but all I hear from him is…
Silence. My heart then starts beating quickly not hearing him saying anything
"Kyle?" I say again. Then all of a sudden a huge snore comes out of his mouth as he rolls over and the snores just keep going.
For a few moments I just sit there listening to him snore before getting up to grab my clothes and put them back on. I'm not upset really that nothing happened. Honestly I'm not really feeling anything right now. All I know is I wanted out of this room. So I slip into the hallway and everything seems back to normal now and I realize Martha Cox has left.
I see a few people give me weird looks as I make my way through the hallways. I'm sure I look like a huge mess but honestly I don't have the energy to care at this point. I really don't even know how I'm keeping myself together right now. I probably should be crying with everything that's happened today but I'm not, and for some reason all I can think is Sharpay would be so proud of me for not breaking down right now.
"You're dress isn't zipped" I hear some random girl say to me. I hear another one say "What were you doing in there?" But I don't answer them. I just ignore them and keep walking. I want to go somewhere quiet away from everyone. I then think of the perfect place, behind the door of the PLEASE DO NOT ENTER sign.
So I go to the door with the sign on it and open it going into the room its covering and close it behind me. I make my way into the room looking at everything around me, the windows that you can look out of and see the lawn that's covered in frost. I then sit down on the carpet and the tears finally start falling and I let out a sob that sounds more like a scream.
I really don't know how long I sat there at least 10 minutes to let out all the tears I had to until I felt like I couldn't cry anymore. I now have snot all over me and my make-up is smeared all over as well from me wiping my eyes and nose so many times. I was a complete mess and at one point I realized I wasn't alone in the room.
I stay very still looking and seeing a shoe come into my view.
"How long have you been standing there" I say wiping my eyes and nose for what seemed like the millionth time since I sat down there"
"Not long" Troy says quietly to me but I can tell he's lying but I really don't mind that he is. I actually feel kind of better knowing that I wasn't sitting there alone all that time. "Are you okay?" He says taking a step towards me "well I mean obviously you're not okay, but I just wanted to know if, well that was anything I could do or something you want to talk about or-"
"Troy?" I say interrupting him. He tended to have a habit of rambling when we were younger.
"Yeah?"
"Could you get me a drink of water?" I said softly to him
"Yeah. Of course, just give me one second" He said sound relieved that I asked him to do something. About a minute later he's back and handing me a glass of water with just the right amount of ice cubes in it. I take it from him taking a long gulp of water from it before speaking again
"Sorry about being back here. The sign and everything"
"It's okay" HE says sitting down next to me. Not super close but enough so that I know he's there. "I mean the sign was more for other people to keep them from breaking my parent's shit or whatever. I've never had a party before…"
"Why did you have a party Troy?" I say to him just wanting to keep him talking
"Well I thought that if I had a party, you would come" He said with a half laughing half serious.
I feel kind of embarrassed hearing him with this heat spreading through my whole body. His response was well unexpected and I don't know what to say. He doesn't seem embarrassed to have said it though. He just sits there looking at me with his typical Troy look. He never really understood that you just can't say things like that to people.
The silence last a few moments to long and I realize I should say something
"This room must get a lot of light during the day" That makes Troy laugh
"You have no idea; it's like being in the middle of the sun"
There's then a silence over us again, but not really silence since you can still hear the music in the background.
"Listen" I say to him feeling my throat start to swell up "I'm sorry about what I said earlier. I really—just thank you for making me feel better. I'm sorry I've always been..." But at last second I can't say what I want to say. What I want to say is I'm sorry I've always been awful to you. I'm sorry there's something wrong with me.
"I meant what I said earlier" Troy says softly to me "About your hair" He then moves just a tiny bit closer to me and it hits me that I'm sitting in the middle of a moonlit room with Troy Bolton.
"I should go" I say going to stand up but I'm still not very steady on my feet and the room seems to tilt with me.
"Whoa" Troy says reaching out to steady me from falling "You sure you're okay?"
"I-"It then occurs to me that I don't know where to go or anyone to get me there really. I don't really want to sit in Molly's car again and obviously a ride from Sharpay wasn't an option. I then just let out a short laugh at the situation "I don't want to go home"
Troy doesn't ask me why which I'm happy about. He just puts his hands in his pockets and the moonlight shines on his face and he looks like he's glowing
"You could…" He takes a breath "You could always stay here" I just look at him not knowing what to say. I have no idea what my face looks like to him though. "Not like stay with me. I mean like we have a few guest rooms with beds ready with clean sheets, I mean obviously they're clean it's not like we leave them on after people sleep on them…"
"Okay"
"… That would be gross. We actually have a housekeeper who comes a couple times a week and…"
"Troy? I said okay. I mean I'd like to stay. If you don't mind"
He stands there a moment with his mouth open in shock like he thinks I'm just pulling his leg and that I'm going to change my mind on him at any moment but I'm not changing my mind.
"Yeah, sure that's fine" He said obviously still in disbelief. He stares at me moment and the hotness returns to my body and my eyes start to feel heavy "you're tired" He says to me his voice soft again.
"It's been a long day"
"Come on" He says reaching his hand out towards me and without thinking I take it. His hand feels warm and dry as he leads me through the house, away from the commotion of the party.
I close my eyes and think of how when we were younger and he would slip his hand in mine and say don't listen to them. Just keep walking. Keep your head up. Now it just seems like no time has passed. It doesn't feel crazy that I'm holding hands with Troy Bolton and I'm letting him lead me somewhere. It feels well normal.
The music now completely fades away and everything is quiet. Looking at everything around me all I can think is this would be the perfect place to get snowed into.
"This way" Troy says to me pushing open a door and fumbling to turn the light on.
"No"
"No light?" He says
"No light" I say confirming what he had just said. He then slowly leads me into the room. It's completely dark and I can barely make out his body even though he's right next to me.
"The bed's over here"
I let him pull me over to him. We're inches away from each other and it's like I can feel him against me in the darkness. We're still holding hands but now we're face to face. I never realized how tall Troy was until now; He's at least 5 inches taller than me. There's just this strange amount of warmth coming from him. It seem like it's everywhere radiating towards me making my fingers tingle.
"Your skin is hot" I say whispering to him
"It's always this way" He says and I can hear something moving in the darkness and I know he's moved his arm. It's the weirdest thing but standing here in the pitch black room with Troy Bolton I feel this tiny spark inside me, like this little flame at the bottom of my stomach and I don't feel scared anymore.
"There are extra blankets in the closet" He says to me his lips just barely touching my cheek.
"Thank you" I whisper to him.
He stays with me until I've gotten into the bed. He pulls the covers over me like it's a normal thing he does all the time, Like he's put me to bed every day of my life. I slowly fall asleep and as I do all I can think is… typical Troy Bolton.
So i really hope you liked the chapter :)
