Chapter 25

When Troy returned to school Monday morning, half of the student body cheered for him and the other half just shook their heads. He had no idea what was going on. But at that moment he didn't care. Sunday morning replayed in his head.

The day before

Troy awoke to unwanted sunlight beaming in his eyes. He looked around and noticed that he wasn't in his room. He also noticed that he wasn't the only one in that bed. A faint smile reached his lips as he remembered, faintly, that last night Gabriella had came. They hadn't talked but it had been amazing. He felt her stir beside him and his smile widened.

"Morning, Troy," He froze and his smile dropped.

"Oh no. Oh no. No. No. No. This can't be happening to me," he thought to himself when he recognized the voice.

"Troy?" She touched his arm and he jumped back, turning towards her.

"Michelle." He quickly grabbed his boxers and slipped them on. He stood up and began looking for his clothes.

"What are you doing?"

"Leaving."

"But we didn't get to cuddle last night. You passed out before we could."

"Look, Michelle. I don't know how this happened but it shouldn't have."

"But you told me you loved me."

"I thought you were someone else. Okay? This shouldn't have happened I would appreciate it if it would stay between the two of us." He threw on his pants and his shirt and left the room. He closed the door behind him and leaned against the surface. He didn't know how he was going to explain this to Gabriella.

Troy caught sight of Taylor, Amanda and Gabriella in the computer lab. He took a deep breath and walked over to them.

"Hey, girls," he said and Taylor and Amanda gave him a dirty look.

"Hey, pig," Amanda said before getting up and walking past him.

"I suggest you just run for it," Taylor said before following Amanda. He looked at them both in confusion.

"What's up with them?" he asked Gabriella but she didn't answer. "Brie?"

"Don't fucking Brie me, you pig," she said and stood up.

"What did I do?"

"What did you do? I'll tell you what you did. This is what you did." She turned the lap top around and Troy's eyes widened as he watched himself having sex with Michelle. "You want to explain that to me?"

"Gabriella I really didn't know what was going on. I was drunk and I thought she was you."

"Likely story, Troy. Too bad you've used the 'I thought she was you' excuse before," she cried and shook her head. "How could you? And with my own sister."

"I'm telling you the truth, Gabriella. I had no idea that it was Michelle until the next morning."

"I don't ever want to see your face again. Do you hear me?"

"Gabriella..." he said trying to grab her arm.

"Don't touch me," she said and evaded his grasp. "Don't touch me, don't talk to me...don't even look at me. You're out of my life, Troy. We're over." She walked out of the computer lab and his knees gave way on him. He landed in the seat next to him and shook his head. The video feed was still going and he shut it off. That video had ruined his life.

Michelle walked through East High with her head down for the first time. Troy had made it clear that he didn't want her, even after they had sex. Not only that but every few minutes someone would walk past her and call her a bad name.

"Whore." She cringed and kept walking.

"Slut."

"Home wrecker." That one really got to her because she knew she ruined her sister's relationship. She had seen the video. Samantha had showed it to her when they got back to school. Everyone on campus had seen it. Michelle came to a halt when a pair of high heeled feet appeared in front of her. She looked up and into the fiery brown eyes of Sharpay Evans.

"You ruined a great thing you know," she said and Michelle looked away guiltily. "Not only that but you ruined your sister's life. How could you be so selfish? You should have just listened to Troy the first time when he said he didn't want you. Maybe if you did, your sister wouldn't be crying her eyes out and you would be walking these halls with your head high. Great job." Sharpay walked away and Michelle felt like crying.

Troy sat in the garden, staring off into space. His whole life was ruined because of his stupidity. He shouldn't have drank so much. Where were the guys in the middle of this? He gave them a job to do and they didn't do it. He sighed and leaned back against the bench.

He ruined something nice for himself. He ran it straight into the ground and he doubted that there was a way to get it back on track. He closed his eyes and Gabriella's face appeared. He smiled softly and wished that he could go back in time and stop it all from happening.

Gabriella sat in the cafeteria, playing with her food. She wasn't really interested in eating. All she wanted to do was go home and cry her eyes out. She couldn't believe that Troy had cheated on her with her own sister. She couldn't believe Troy had cheated at all. She thought that what they had was great, but apparently not.

Taylor and Amanda looked at their friend with a sad expression. They knew Gabriella was nothing without Troy. They knew that even with what happened that she still loved him. Amanda nudged Taylor and the darker-skinned girl looked up. Amanda motioned towards the table across the room and Taylor saw Troy staring at Gabriella with sad eyes.

The look on his face was heart breaking and Taylor had to look away. There had to be someway to fix this. Amanda sighed and pushed her food away.

"I can't eat," she said and Taylor smiled sadly at her.

"I'm gonna go to the library. I'll see you two later," Gabriella said softly and stood up. She walked out of the cafeteria, dumping her food on the way.

Three days had passed by since Gabriella broke up with Troy. His mood dropped drastically. He was always in a bad mood. The only time he wasn't was when he was by himself in the garden. She stopped sitting next to him on the bus and she wouldn't return his calls. He felt his heart being ripped to shreds with each passing second she wasn't around.

He stared out into the distance as he sat on the roof. His eyes were empty. No feeling was left in them. He refused to believe Monday had happened. He started a fight with his step father just to make him believe it did. Monday happened and Gabriella hated him. The more she was away from him, the more he felt himself slipping into a dark abyss at the bottom of his heart. He had been there once and he promised himself he wasn't going back, but now...now he felt like breaking that promise.

He pulled out his box cutter from his pocket and lifted his wrist band. He cut line after line across his skin until he had eight new lines in his wrist. When he felt the euphoric rush, he sat back and let it wash over him. This was the first time he cut since the day he met her. She had made him better. She made him a different person. But with her gone, he could feel himself slipping back into the world he wanted nothing to do with. He sighed and got up, leaving the safety of the garden.

Gabriella sat on the floor in front of her locker and pulled her knees up to her chest. As much as she hated to admit it, she missed him. She missed Troy. She needed him. Her father's abuse had become worse since Monday and it was all because Michelle wasn't happy. The abuse had turned into more of a mixture between physical and sexual. Sometimes he would beat her before raping her, other times it was vise versa. She couldn't take it anymore.

Her brown eyes stared upward, its orbs showing nothing. She just wanted to die. She had no reason to live anymore. She closed her eyes and wished it upon herself, but she knew it would never come. Footsteps brought her out of her daze and she opened her eyes. The footsteps stopped and she turned her head.

Brown met with blue. Emotionless met with emptiness. Troy's breath caught in his throat as he stared upon her. She was even more broken than she had been before.

"I'm sorry," he said lowly, shaking his head. He hurried past her and she just stared after him. She wanted to call him back, but she just couldn't forgive him for what he did.

Taylor and Amanda stood in the library, waiting for Chad, Zeke and Jason. They spotted the three boys and waited for them to take a seat.

"So how are we going to do this?" Chad asked.

"We just have to find away to get them back together," Amanda said.

"Okay, we got that point, Sherlock." Amanda glared at him. "The question is how are we going to do this."

"We should lock them up somewhere," Jason said.

"But where?"

"Janitor's closet?" Amanda suggested

"No way. Too cramped. I think she'll kill him before they get a chance to work anything out," Taylor said.

"Empty classroom?" Jason suggested.

"Too much work. First we'll actually have to find a classroom that's empty and find a way to lock them in," Chad said and everyone sighed.

"The gym?" Zeke suggested and everyone looked at him. "What? It seemed logical to me."

"And I thought Jason was stupid," Taylor said and Jason nodded before taking offense.

"HeyI"

"What? It's true. You act like an idiot most of the time."

"She's right you do," Amanda said with a nod.

Chad shook his head at the conversation before getting an idea. "I know where we can lock them up."

"Where?"

"I'll explain later just follow me," Chad said and left the library with the other four teenagers following.
