Gabriellas POV
"Hey Gabs are you going to tell us what happend to your hand, or do we have to get Troy on you. He always could get you to talk." Taylor said surrounded by Kelsi and Sharpay. I looked over at Troy who was over by Chad and Jason talking about something stupid no doubt. I looked back them then thought what to say.
"What if you had a friend who was in a bind and was to meet someone but sure if it would be the right thing for them to do. They could get hurt and even killed, but they did for being scared and a whole bunch of other stuff. What tell them?"
"Gabi are you in trouble?" Kelsi asked touching my arm lightly.
"I asked a question. Not a personal one though." I pulled my arm away and looked at the ground.
"Well I wouldn't go if I were thsi friend." Sharpay said looking me in the eye.
"Yea especially if it gets this friend more of these!" Taylor yelled pulling my sleeve up revealing the bruise. They looked at me worried and nervous too which i must say is a change for Sharpay.
"Thanks I'll tell them your advice." I looked at my cell phone it was 12:55 I had time to kill. I smiled at the girls shook my head and rolled my eyes and pulled them to the dance floor. Our favorite song was on Crushcrushcrush by Paramore we started dancing and we forgot about everything.
About 5 songs later I looked at my watch and it was 1:28. I almost screamed good thing I didnt Troy was close by and would have gotten worried. I slipped out of the party hopefully unnoticed. I went to our front porch and there he was waiting, I took a deep breathe even though I knew this wasn't wise.
"Hey,"I said as non-chalant as I could.
"Hey," He looked scared and nervous. I thought this was really weird considering he was the bad guy. Or is this a new trait I didnt no about?
"So..."
"Listen I want to say sorry." He wouldn't make eye contact. Shoot I would say he looked guilty?
"Sorry about what?" Wow that was a stupid question.
"I'm sorry about hurting you. I am so so sorry I mean your a really cool girl and really chill I've learned that. I feel bad for not trying to get to know you I mean I fucked up. I fucked up big time." I walked over to where he was sitting, I hate myself for being so forgiving but Im not Sharpay I dont have to many mean bones. I put my hand on his knee as if saying to keep going.
"I just I'm sorry. Im a bastard and everything that comes with it. I know we can't be friends but I just wanted you to know that im sorry. I wish I hadn't gone through with it I mean you just had a slip up. Hell it happens to the best of us right? Well I should let you get back to your party over there." He started walking away but I stopped him and I am no longer controling my actions. Im practically yelling run Gabi run but I leading him up to my room. I turned on the light and told him to sit on the floor and lets talk.
After Josh left I felt good which is weird considering everything. But I was glad that he was done with interupting my life, he sayshe has a girlfriend that he loves tons. I'm happy for him and I said we can be friends. I decided to go on myspace and see whats up. Nothing new friend requests comments etc.. I decided to post a bulletin a happy one at that.
Things happen for a reason
When a person makes a first impression;
good or bad
You should forgive and forget;
I did that tonight, I still have the bruise to show for it
But even though I thought bad of him at first;
we're friends now
Even though I'll never see him again;
I'm sort of glad we met
Without what he did;
I would have never confessed love
I am in debt to this person;
even though he put in my state of depression
I found my love;
because he hurt me
I found a new start;
even though I wont ever be the same me
I know that I'll thank him;
any day of the week
Since he brought Troy;
straight back to me
1.7.08
I caught him
I read over it like a thousand times and finally posted it. I allowed people to comment it if they liked. I took a deep breathe and decided that I was utterly bored. I didn't want to go to bed either but I have nothing to do. I decided to go to troys house instead but then second guessed and decided to just call him and see whats up and if he can come over.
Gabriella / Troy
"hello?"
"hey! Whats up?"
"Umm, nothing. where'd you go? I mean you were there one minute gone the next."
"I had a umm... an appointment."
"At like one in the morning? Not working Brie."
"well i had to meet a friend and such on a personal matter. I had to thank him for something very special."
"Whats so special and at one in the morning? What is this person a bat?"
"Hahahahhahahaha no no no he's a real person."
"Oh- wait he?"
"Yes he but we were at my house and don't worry nothing happend dad." he laughed at my mini joke.
"Well i dont know but what are you doing?"
"im bored out my freaking mind and have no idea what to do! But im on myspace."
"Oh really whats up with this bulletin? things happen for a reason?"
"haha that you have to read. But then come over. okay bye."
I hung up and went to my dvd shelf and pulled out a few movies not all chick flicks. I went to my bed and sat and waited then.
"Okay so that was sweet as ever. But what do you mean bruise?!?" Troy seemed mad confused and concerned. I shook my head and decided to change the subject.
"What movie do you want to watch?"
"Brie." He grabbed my wrist lightly but to my dissmay I winced and he noticed.
"I didnt hurt you did i?" I shook my head.
"Then whyd you wince?" I looked at the floor. He pulled up my sleeve and looked at the bruise then at me then at the bruise.
"I saw him at the store and he got mad at me or something and asked me to meet him at 1:30 and so i did so i wouldn't get anymore bruises and stuff. I know stupid but he has a girlfriend now and he wishes me the best and hes glad that i have you. And hes taking anger management and such and im sorry that i fogave him. He did this at the graduation but i didnt tell anyone. Sharpay kelsi and Taylor know and now you but don't make a scene i dont need Tony in on this too."
"NOT make a scene?!?! Gabriella he could have killed you or anything!! You should have told someone!" He never yells at me ever unless hes really really mad but i couldn't help but be scared and cry.
"But nothing happend! doesn't that count for anything?!?"
"No Gabriella it doesn't count for a thing! I don't know what you were thinking! Something could have happend to you anything." He was calming down I waned to say something but he beat me to it.
"I just wish you would have talked to me about this or something. We're best friends and I love you if you realize or not. I think i should go-"
"No! I don't want you to. Please stay ...Please! I love you too and Im sorry I should have told you but I wanted to handle it myself-"
"Handle it yourself!! Look what happend last time!!!! You got your wrist broken because of this jerk! And your just going to go and see him without telling anyone!" He was really loud now too loud at that
"Troy calm down my parents will hear you." I whispered trying to calm him down.
"I dont know I need to think about stuff. Later Gabriella." He turned and left. As soon as the Balcony door closed I broke down and cryed. Did we just break up? are we still friends? Hes so mad at me he called me Gabriella. Why did I tell him? because you love him. What was i thinking? He would die if he didnt know why you were in pain and most likely blame himself. Why did I have him in the first place? because you are meant for each other, and the strongest couples have big fights. Why am I so stupid? your not stupid your just a helpless romantic who just wants things to work out. even though you make stupid choices.
I cryed myself to sleep and didn't even make it to the bed. When I woke my sister was holding me saying it'll be alright. I just cryed harder and harder then she call Taylor Sharpay and Kelsi and I cryed more when they got there.
I have no idea where the thought for this chapter came from but
-should they break up
-should they just be at pause but push play later
-or something permanant that they reunite wen Troy is leaveing for college
well me dont know so say what you think. Thank :)
