Troyella

Chapter 25: Ryan's Relationships [Edited]

"Who is this guy?" Troy finally asked

She hesitated "His name is Ryan Evans"

"Ryan, as in Ryan?" Troy asked making sure he heard right

She nodded once

Troy was speechless, he didn't know what to say, he had hurt Chad, now he had hurt his sister. There was only one thing Troy knew. Ryan would be a dead man, and very soon.

"Troy? Hello?" She waved her hand in front of his face to get his attention

"Huh, sorry, it's just Ryan isn't exactly very popular on my list of friends right now" Troy explained

"How come?" Tami asked

"Well for one, now, what he's done to you, and two, he and Taylor went behind...wait, I don't know whether I should tell you this" Troy caught himself before he revealed something that could either make his sister want to kill Ryan as badly as he does, or make her breakdown, he was favouring one over the other, but he had to know she'd be alright once he told her.

"No, no, no, tell me, please" Tami pleaded, she needed to know the full story, she was going crazy.

"He and Taylor went behind Chad...and your...backs, and were dating, we don't know for how long, probably only started today, either way they got caught, they also got mad because Gabriella and I wanted to spend some time with each other, we were helping them, just on the computers, it was really weird, but either way, what Taylor and Ryan did was wrong, and we just can't see why they would do such a thing" Troy explained

"Oh" was all managed to say. She thought her and Ryan were something good, now she realizes he was going behind her back, one thing she knew, this was going on for a lot longer than a day.

Tami sighed "Troy, there's something you should know" She started

"What is it?" he asked

"I think it's been going on longer than just a day" she revealed

"What do you mean?" he asked, becoming very interested

"Well, for the past month, he's been acting strange, like, turning up late to a dates, then leaving unexpectedly, or just not coming, I thought it might have had something to do with the musical and concert, but the musical is over, and I'm part of the concert singing with you, so it can't be that, so I think he was, maybe, meeting up with Taylor, I don't know why else he would be acting so strange" Tami explained

Troy looked at her, trying to take everything in. 'This had been going on for this long and none of us saw anything out of the ordinary. We've known each other for God knows how long, and then they do something like this, and we don't even notice the slightest bit of change, it's...scary' Troy thought, deep in his mind.

"Gabriella looks worried" This pulled him out

"Huh?" He asked confused

She nodded to the balcony.

In her room, Gabriella was pacing around, looking worried, looking like she was trying to figure something out.

"You can tell her if you want, and everyone else, anyone else, except our grandmother" Tami told him

Troy shivered "Why on Earth, would I ever, out of my own free will, talk to her?" he asked rhetorically.

Tami smiled "True"

Troy stopped a minute "Do you hear that?" he asked

Tami scrunched up her face in concentration trying to hear what Troy was "What?"

"Shuffling" he replied

He put his finger to his mouth, signalling for Tami to remain quite

He swung the door open, and sure enough, in came tumbling, mum and dad.

"Like to tell me why you are trying to walk through a closed door?" Troy asked

"Um, uh, okay, we heard Tami crying earlier, we didn't want to upset her even more, so we waited until you got home and heard why she was upset"

"So, you were eavesdropping?" Troy asked accusingly

"No, we were concerned" Jack replied

Troy looked at Tami "They were eavesdropping" she said

"Anyway, Tami why didn't you tell us you had a boyfriend?" Lucille asked

"Would you have approved of a boy a year older than her?" Troy asked

"Well, no, but look what has happened" Lucille responded

"Yes, but if this didn't happen, and we would all rather it wouldn't, then Tami would be angry at you guys right now and rebelling against you, for not letting her date him" Troy stated

"He's right, It's better this way, oh and Troy, go to Gabriella, she's going crazy over their" Tami told him

"Right, be back soon"

At Gabriella's

"Troy, what are you doing here?" Ava asked

"Hi, um, I think Gabriella's kind of worried about something, can I go check on her?" Troy asked

"Yes, of course" She replied opening the door more letting him in

"Thank you" he said and ran to Gabriella's room

He knocked before entering

"Hey" he greeted

"Hey, what's wrong with Tami?" She asked as soon as he stepped through the door.

"Well, she had a boyfriend, he broke up with her today" Troy told her

"Oh my God, how is she? Is she okay?" Gabriella was really worried

"Yes, she's fine, but there's more" he told her

"How much more?" She asked, frozen with curiously and fright.

"Guess who her boyfriend was"

She stared at him blankly "Who?" she finally asked

"Ryan" he barely whispered

"Ryan?" she repeated in disbelief

He nodded and cleared his throat "Ryan" he told her

She stared off into space, she didn't know what to think, Ryan, he was such a nice guy, and now he's going around lying and cheating, it's just unbelievable.

Troy started waving his hand in front of her face

"Yeah, that was my reaction" he told her

She sighed "What's going to happen?"

"Well, I'm going to kill Ryan" he told her

"I think we all will, but Sharpay may beat us to it" she said

"I think you may be right. It's just, he's hurt my best friend, and now he's hurt my sister, who else is he going to hurt? It seems only a matter of time before he does" Troy told her, he was worried about this since Tami told him, but she had enough on her mind, so he finally let it out.

"Hey, everything is going to be okay, okay" she told him

He nodded, desperately wanting to believe her.

She breathed out and snuggled into him, while he wrapped his arms around her. They stayed like that until they fell asleep.

The Next Day.

KNOCK KNOCK

"Gabriella? You awake?" Came her mother's voice, from the other side of the door.

"Hmm? Yeah mum I'm awake" She told her

"Okay, breakfast is going to be ready soon"

"Okay mum"

When Gabriella tried to get up to get ready she found she couldn't move, and that pair of arms were wrapped around her, and apparently weren't letting go anytime soon. She twisted round to find Troy and her in the same position they fell asleep in.

"Troy? Troy wake up" She shook him gently

"Troy?" she saw his eyelids open a bit, getting used to the light, before they opened fully

"Hey" he greeted

"Hey, you do realize your parents are probably worried about you" she told him

"Probably not, they know I came round here when I left, and I bet you anything they saw through the window that I was still here. My grandmother isn't going to like this though" he smiled at this.

She laughed a bit. He sighed remembering why he had actually come yesterday.

"Still mad at Ryan?" she asked

"I know it's bad, but I think it always will be, I could try and take Chad's advice and forgive him, but he's hurt two people I care about now, I can't just forgive him like that" he told her, he felt kind of guilty, but he couldn't help it.

"I feel the same as you do. I mean I know I'm not as close as you Chad and Tami are, but Tami seems like my little sister now, and Chad my big brother, you know, and I trusted Taylor, and she must've known what was going on" she told him.

"Taylor" he sighed. He honestly hadn't thought about her. He was too busy coming up with ways to kill Ryan, and make sure he didn't get caught, but either way, Taylor was as big a part of this as Ryan

"Yeah, I'd forgotten that she must have known something too." she revealed

"What are we going to do?" Troy asked, his arms still wrapped around Gabriella's

"We could tell the gang, if Tami wants" She told suggested.

"She said the only people she didn't want knowing was our grandparents" he told her

"Okay, so we tell the gang and take it from there, I do want to know what the hell is going through their minds right now"

"Me too, me too"

School

"WHAT!"

"HOW COULD THEY DO THIS?"

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THEM?"

This was the reaction they got when they told them.

"So, let me get this straight" Chad started "Me and Taylor were dating, while Ryan and Tami were secretly dating, Taylor and Ryan obviously got together, leaving me and Tami to string along, until the game got too much, and they got caught by you guys, so obviously they knew you would say something at home, so before that happened, Ryan broke up with Tami, a day after he told her he loved her, while he was dating Taylor who was going out with me." he explained fully.

"Seems so" Troy agreed

"Wow, yesterday, when it was just me involved, then yeah sure, handled, but Tami's like my little sister, and no one does that to her" Chad told them

"We know, we have to do something, at least get them to explain why there doing this" Sharpay concluded.

"Right, but something tells me this isn't going to end very well" Jason told them

They all silently agreed.
