Thanks for reviewing guys! Sorry I didn't update this straight away; I updated 'When You're In Love' and then was kept home by my Nan because I'm not very well. But I feel a little better and thought I'd update this whilst I'm in high spirits!
Also, I'm already cooking up my story idea! I'm quite excited and I think I've already got a title but like I said it's not going to be started until 'My Musical Girl' is finished!
Okay so here's your chapter!
Chapter 24 – Will You Help Me?
TROY stretched contently the next morning with a beam upon his face. He looked down on Gabriella who was still snuggled naked under his blankets and he kissed her cheek softly as she slept.
He got up and started to get changed, he glanced back at the glorious beauty that was occupying his bed and laughed cheerfully. Nothing had made him happier than to have her with him again! She was his again! He rubbed his hands together after he had gotten changed and felt himself burn up with pride. Nothing pleased him more. At that moment he heard his mobile ringing and he snatched up his phone not wanting to wake Gabriella up.
It was Kelsi.
"Hey Kels, 'He whispered, "You're phoning early aren't you?"
"Sorry, I was just phoning to see if everything went alright with Gabriella. Did she let you walk her home?" The timorous petite composer queried softly.
"Um…sort of." Troy stammered.
"Oh that's great! Everything's going to be alright?" Kelsi said loudly so much so that Troy had to hold his phone away from his ear.
"Shush Kelsi! You're going to wake Gabriella!" Troy said firmly.
"Huh? But I thought you walked Gabriella…oh…um…well this is embarrassing." Kelsi said finally realising what had gone on last night.
"Yeah well Gabriella hurt her foot and I took her back to my house to get it sorted out and well, you know the rest." Troy exclaimed.
"Is Gabriella alright? Will she be able to perform in the next two days?" Kelsi asked him worriedly.
"Yeah, 'Troy replied, "She's fine!"
"Oh okay, I'm glad things are looking up. Who knows we might have little Troy's and Gabriella's running around the place!" She said and Troy was sure that Kelsi was smiling.
"Well anyway, I've got to go. I'm going to make Brie some breakfast." Troy said brightly."
"Okay, bye Troy. See you in work." Kelsi answered.
"Goodbye Kels!"
Troy put the phone down and smiled happily to himself. He made his way downstairs not seeing Gabriella shifting in her sleep…
GABRIELLA jerked away and looked around suddenly realising where she was. She had remembered her actions with Troy and how they had confessed their love for one another. Well, Gabriella had anyway, Troy had probably been lying.
She sat up and pulled her clothes on as quickly as she possibly could and ran a hand through her messy hair. She looked at the clock beside the bed; it was 8.00am and sighed. She had to get home and get changed into some clean clothes! She had to get home and try and work out the entire confusing situation!
The tired brunette could hear Troy whistling joyfully as he busied himself downstairs. Gabriella knew she had to get out of there and she stood and gasped in pain. Her ankle was still hurting and was still wrapped neatly in Troy's bandage. She shoved her heels on quickly and opened the window.
She looked back one last time before she slowly climbed out the window and made her way up the street before Troy noticed she was gone! She wiped away a tear and laughed, how could she have been so stupid?
TROY smiled quite proudly at the tray of food he had set out for his beautiful Gabriella! He had made some bacon toasties with a side of scrambled egg and beside it was a small plate of fruit, grapes, peaches, oranges etc! He had made her an extra large mug of hot chocolate and beside it was a rose and the box containing the wedding ring!
He was determined to do it now while she was in a great mood and why wouldn't she be in a great mood, she was always in a great mood after spending the night with him!
He knocked on the door and walked in, he was smiling down on the tray excitedly.
"Brie! Breakfast time." He said.
From where he was standing it looked as if the bed was still occupied, it was lumpy and bundled up and Troy believed that Gabriella was still snuggled under the blankets.
When he didn't hear her reply he set the tray down on the side of the bed and touched the blankets.
"Gabriella, wake up." He laughed and he pulled the blankets aside to reveal his biggest fear, Gabriella was gone!
"Shit!" Troy said and he grabbed the ring and his jacket and made his way downstairs, his mind swirling with empty thoughts.
"OH good sir, you're here. The show is in no more than two days and we must prepare of course." Watertake said as Troy arrived in The Polar Stadium.
Troy pushed him aside looking for Gabriella and he found her with Sharpay and Taylor at her side. Taylor threw Troy a pained expression and he immediately knew that Gabriella had clued them in on what had happened last night.
"Gabriella, we need to talk." Troy said seriously.
"So talk." She said shrugging her shoulders.
"No, we need to talk in private." And before she could even protest he had snatched up her hand and was dragging her to his office.
"Troy!" She complained.
Troy locked the office and pushed Gabriella up against the wall, he started to kiss at her neck uncontrollably and she found it hard to prevent him from doing so. She was about to reach up and bring her hands to his hair when she had remembered why she didn't want this anymore and instead she used her energy to push him away from her.
"What's wrong?" Troy asked stroking her hair.
"This is what's wrong!" Gabriella said pointing between them but Troy didn't seem to hear her at all.
"You frightened me this morning. I didn't hear you leave. Hwy didn't you stay for breakfast?" He questioned her smiling.
"I didn't stay for breakfast because last night wasn't supposed to happen." Gabriella exclaimed.
"What? But it was meant to happen. We are meant to be together!" Troy complained his smile dropping in an instance.
"No Troy, 'She said shaking her dolefully, "It was a mistake."
"It wasn't!" He said and he took his hands in hers trying to show her that he was one hundred percent serious about them.
"Yes it was!" He tried to argue back.
A tear dripped down her cheeks and she looked at him dejectedly, "Look Troy, I was drinking last night."
"Don't lie, 'He said, "I watched you last night in the party. You drank orange juice through out the entire event."
Gabriella closed her eyes tight, even lying didn't help and she was sure that he was going to suss out that last night did mean everything to her because it had!
"Fine, I didn't drink but when I fell I just wanted some comfort last night. I looked to the only other person who was around and that was you. What, did you expect me to start kissing the dog? It was all a mistake, it was comfort kissing and comfort sex. Nothing more, nothing less." She lied to him; it broke her heart to tell him everything that meant nothing.
The two fell silent when they heard muffled voices at the door, voices that sounded similar to Gabriella's friends.
"Stop it, I can't hear."
"Beth! That's my foot!"
Troy walked over to the door and prepared himself to open it.
"What are they saying?"
"Why has it gone quiet all of a sudden?"
He threw open the door and Kelsi, Beth, Taylor, Maria and Sharpay all came tumbling through onto the floor. Kelsi stood up and the others followed suit.
"What are we doing in here?" Kelsi asked in a mock surprise voice.
"It's alright girl, 'Gabriella said ignoring Kelsi, "We're finished here and by the way, I'm not doing the Musical."
She walked out and Troy went to follow her.
"Gabriella!" He called but Sharpay stopped him.
"Leave her Troy. She'll come around." She explained to her.
Troy frowned really confused and turned to look at the young women in front of him.
"Don't you see it now? Don't all of you see? I love her, she is my world!" He said loudly.
The girls smiled a little and allowed him to continue.
"I want to wake up to her every morning and go to sleep next to her every night. I want to buy her a big house with loads of bedrooms for loads of children and a large family garden filled with swings and slides and toys!"
Sharpay was near tears and Taylor was smiling in amusement. Beth looked at him with incredulity. Maria had the expression of confusion on her face and Kelsi looked very proud.
"I want to be able to sit in front of everyone say 'This is Gabriella Bolton, my wife' and comfort her when she's sick or upset. I want to be the man she looks up to and the man she loves because she simply loves me. Don't you understand? I love Gabriella Montez!" He said and he stopped breathless and beaming.
"Then don't tell us Troy! Tell her." Beth laughed.
Troy smiled looking pleased with himself and he chuckled, "Then help me girls."
"Huh?" Sharpay said frowning.
"Help me tell her I love her. Will you help me?" He queried desperately.
The girls all looked at each other smiling and Taylor laughed, "Guys, lets get planning!"
I hope you liked this chapter! I liked it! I know a lot of you are probably angry because Gabriella did a runner but don't worry, I don't think she's going to be angry at him for long.
