Troy awoke with a throbbing headache. "Mmm...what the hell happened?" He asked sitting up on the bed. He had no idea where he was until he found Sharpay sleeping next to him. Oh my god. He thought to himself. He began to violently shook her.
"What?" Sharpay said waking up grouchy.
"Sharpay what the hell happened?" He asked getting out of bed and putting on his clothes.
Sharpay wanted to smile but she had to play her role. "Oh my god. I have a throbbing headache right now. Do you have any clue what happened?" She said rubbing her forehead.
"No, I remember looking through a photo album and then I remember drinking something and then its all black."
"Wow, it must of been Ryan. He was in the kitchen when I poured the drinks. He must have spiked them when I wasn't looking." She said liking the way her brain worked.
"Look, Sharpay. I have a wife and a baby on the way. I would appreciate it if you would just act like this never happened." He said putting on his shirt.
Sharpay got out of bed with her naked body and began to walk her way toward Troy. "Are you sure that you want to pretend like this never happened?" She asked as she got toward him she slowly trailed her fingers down his chest. Which was coming out of his short. She put her lips against his ears. "Why would you want grouchy, pregnant Gabriella when you can have me?" She whispered.
Troy was still hung over, but he was not an idiot. "Sharpay I thought you changed." He said pushing her away from him. "I thought you understood the way that I feel for Gabriella."
"I do, but I just think that you would be way better off with me. I mean before we got drunk we were actually having a good time weren't we?" She asked confused.
"Yeah, but just as friends. I love Gabriella and she is my wife."
"Yeah, I understand that, but maybe you don't love her as much as you think you do." She said slowly making her way toward him again. "I mean you guys haven't even been married a week and you already cheated." She took his hands and slowly placed them on her breasts.
Troy pulled his hands away quickly. "Sharpay maybe you don't understand. I don't love you and I never will." He said as he walked away from her. "If you ever see me again do me a favor? Don't talk to me or even look at me. And if you even go two feet near Gabriella I will hunt you down and make sure that you wish you were never born.
Sharpay was speechless. She thought that her plan was flawless. "Well, than I will just tell Gabriella about our little night together." She said with an evil grin.
"She's my wife and I'm going to tell her, because she is my wife and I would never keep a secret from her." He said putting on his shoes. "Now I have a long walk home. You know the place where I live with my wife." He said and walked out the door.
Damn! Sharpay said out loud as she sat down on the bed. She thought for sure that maybe Troy would try to come around.
Bolton Apartment:
Gabriella sat on the couch staring at the clock. It was 7:15 in the morning. Where the hell was Troy? All of a sudden she heard the door knob turn.
Troy walked in so exhausted it wasn't even funny. He knew that he probably had big bags underneath his eyes. He was welcomed by his very pregnant wifes gigantic hug.
"Where were you?" She asked while she was still hugging him. "I was getting so worried I thought I was about to call the cops." She said as she stopped hugging him. "I called your job and they said that you left a while ago."
"Yeah, it was definitely a very long night." Troy said rubbing his eyes. "If you don't mind can I go to bed?"
"Actually we have to talk about something."
Troy's heart dropped when he heard those words. He wasn't sure if Gabriella knew what had happened the night before and he really wanted to be the one to tell her. "What?"
Gabriella took Troy's hand and led him to a chair. "Here I think you should sit. You do really look tired."
"Gabriella what's going on?"
"Well the surprise dinner I planned last night had a purpose behind it." Gabriella said with a smile from ear to ear. "I applied to Harvard a couple of months ago. And I forgot all about it until I got a paper in the mail today with Harvard's name on it, and they accepted me!" She said energetically.
"Baby, that is so great." Troy said with a smile. If he wasn't so tired than ha would have been able to be more happy, but he felt like all of his energy had been drained.
"Yes, and that's what we have to talk about." She said pausing for a moment. "Troy I have been dreaming of going to Harvard since I was five, and they accepted me with a full scholarship!" She said getting excited again. "But if I accept it than we will have to move to Boston, Massachusetts."
Troy stood there staring at Gabriella for a while. "Are you kidding?" He asked looking for an answer.
"No!"
"Gabriella we can't just pack up and move. We are going to be parents. I have no idea how to be a father and I need my dad to help me. We just can't leave without a good-bye."
"Troy I really want this." Gabriella pleaded. "I think that you are going to be a great father on your own. I mean yeah, you are going to make some mistakes, but so am I. Our parents made mistakes with us and we turned out just fine."
"Gabriella I'm to tired to argue can we talk about this after I get some rest."
"Sure whatever." Gabriella said getting up and crossing her arms. "I have to go and talk to your mom anyway. We have a girls day planned."
"I hope you two have fun." He went over to his wife and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "We have other things to talk about when you get home."
"Alright, have a good sleep husband." She said with a smile.
"Don't worry I think I will have a great sleep."
3 hours later:
Troy was impatiently tapping his foot while he was waiting on his wife to come home. He was watching football and eating potato chips.
"I'm home!" Gabriella said as she made her grand entrance through the threshold.
"I see. You also got bangs, your nails are done, and i see you got your feet done." Troy said standing up and giving his wife a hug.
"Well, yeah. Since the doctor said I can't wear sneakers anymore I thought I should get my feet done. I'm happy that you noticed." She said smiling.
"Of course how could I not."
Gabriella embraced her husbands hug. "So are you ready to talk about Harvard?" Gabriella cut straight to the point.
"Yeah, and I also have somewhat of a surprise too." Troy said nervously.
"Well, if you want you can tell me your surprise?"
"No I think we should discuss you for right now." Troy said all of a sudden scared to tell Gabriella. He was the last person that ever wanted to break her heart.
"Troy, if you wanted to go play with the San Francisco Don's I would pack up in a heart beat and follow you. Why can't you just do the same for me?"
"Gabriella it's not that simple." Troy said nodding his head no.
"Why can't it be?"
"Because Gabriella your smart. You can go to any college you want to. I can't go to Harvard off of just sports. I'm smart but not Harvard smart."
"I understand, but baby if you could just do this one thing for me. There are tones of colleges near Harvard that would accept you off of sports, and we can live off campus in an apartment."
"Where are you getting this money from?" Troy asked laughing. "We are barley making ends meet right now, and we are getting help from my parents. How are we going to be able to afford a baby, apartment, and all the bills that come with that apartment?"
"Taylor gave us money. The money that she was going to use for college she gave it to the baby, but I figured we could use it for an apartment and then put all the money back when we actually get real careers."
"Gabriella can we just see how the future goes, and then we can make up our minds about what we are going to do about colleges?"
"Troy what the hell is going on?" Gabriella asked looking him in the face.
"What are you talking about?" Troy asked confused and shocked.
"Troy I am not dumb. Last night when I called you were not at your job. And you were so exhausted when you got home for another reason. I was trying to pretend like everything was okay when it clearly is not. What the hell is going on?"
Troy paused and looked at Gabriella. She was glowing and beautiful. Her round stomach was showing perfectly through her shirt. "Gabriella last night when you called I wasn't at work. Truly I was at Sharpay's house."
"Why were you there?" Gabriella could feel the tears already coming. Something in her gut had told her something wasn't right the moment that Troy walked through that door this morning.
"I went there to talk about Taylor's death, and I had a couple of drinks."
"Oh my god..you had sex with Sharpay." Gabriella said feeling her tears roll down her face. "Didn't you?" She screamed.
"Yes, i did, and it was the biggest mistake of my life." Troy said going over to Gabriella. "I never meant to do it I swear."
Gabriella turned away from Troy for a minute to think. When she turned back around she looked pissed. "Why did you do it?" She asked trying to stay calm.
"I don't know. I was upset about Taylor and I thought that Sharpay could help. Then we had a couple of drinks and everything went black. When I woke up this morning she said that she didn't remember anything either. She guessed that Ryan spiked our drinks."
"Get out!" Gabriella said pointing to the door.
"What?" Troy said acting as if he didn't hear her.
"I said get out!" Gabriella said pulling his shirt toward the door. "I can't stand to see you right now."
"Gabriella I truly am sorry. I never meant to hurt you and if it helps I really don't care about Sharpay."
Gabriella laughed as she was crying. "You don't care about Sharpay? Then why the hell did you have to run to her?" Gabriella asked still crying.
"I don't know." Troy said honestly.
"I am your wife." She said pointing at herself. "You are supposed to be able to tell me anything. Why did you have to run off to another woman?" Gabriella couldn't stay calm any longer. She started to hysterically cry.
"Please, Gabriella stop crying." He said going over to her and hugging her.
"No!" Gabriella screamed as she pushed him away. "Don't touch me. Do you know how stupid I feel right now?"
"Gabriella..." He said in his sweet voice.
"No, don't Gabriella me! I thought you meant everything you said in those vows, but I guess I was wrong. We haven't even been married for a week and I am already failing as a wife."
"Gabriella don't blame yourself. This is all about me. I should have never went over to her house. I should have known that something would have went wrong if I went over there."
"But you did and you had sex with Sharpay."
"I know..I know..." That's all Troy could think of to say. He was at a loss for words. He looked at Gabriella who's beautiful face was now turned red. Her black hair that she had just got done was now ruined, and her make-up was running all the way down her face.
"Get out!" She said again. "I can't stand to see your cheating, lying, ass right now!"
"Gabriella I am not leaving." Troy said standing there. "I'm staying so we can work this out. I left last time, but I won't leave this time."
"I said leave!" She screamed.
"No, we are married and I'm staying. We have to work this out because we have a baby on the way."
"I can raise this baby on my own if I have to. Now get the hell out before I call the police."
"And say what my husband cheated and he won't leave? They are going to laugh in our faces and then they will leave. I'm not going anywhere.Gabriella I love you and I want this marriage to work."
"Well, maybe you should have thought of that before you cheated."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Don't talk to me." She said bitterly and walked inside of the bedroom. She slammed the bedroom door and plopped her self on the bed. She could feel the baby reacting to all the commotion around her. She rubbed her stomach and began to cry, because no matter how much she hated Troy right now she knew she still loved him.
