Troy's P.O.V
After leaving Gabriella to sleep in her room after her afternoon of drama, i ran downstairs, knowing what i had to do. I felt really bad about how i had treated Sharpay - She had looked after Gabriella last night and today, making her the happiest i had seen her in ages. Of course that didn't make up for the fact she had taken Gabriella to see Taylor and the fact they had gotten into a fight but from what Gabriella said, Sharpay had cared for her.
"Sharpay?" I asked as i entered the living room, noticing her curled up on the sofa, flicking through television channels before settling on MTV. She turned to me, looking concerned and possibly scared. I sat down beside her "I'm Sorry"
"What do you have to be sorry for? You did nothing wrong" Sharpay wondered
"I did, I flipped out on you when i had no reason to. You ave looked after Gabriella beyond my expectations and i just was scared when you mentioned the pains. Sharpay i'm scared to let anything happen to her. Most days i just want to wrap her up in cotton wool and protect her from the world...She is my Baby Brie and i couldn't stand if anything happened to her"
"I understand Troy, i do and i'm sorry i took her to Taylor's; seriously." Sharpay said "Gabriella is one of a kind"
"She is, Hey i wanted to ask your opinion on something. I have Chad's but i'm not sure right now."
"Ok, well i'm listening, go for it"
"Ok, for awhile now i have wanted to do soemthing, but Chad convinced me not to...but now i'm having doubts again" I began
"Alright, and what is it?"
"I want, i want to ask Gabriella to marry me" I said quietly.
"OH MY GOD!!" Sharpay squealed "Your kidding me right? That is freakin' amazing!"
"Shar, shhhh! I don't want Gabriella to wake up and hear. If i did ask her and she did say yes. It wouldn't be right away, we would wat till we were older. But i just feel that if she had a ring on her finger then it would really sink in that she is mine and we are together"
"Troy, i honestly think its an amazing and brilliant idea! Why did Chad tell you not to?"
"He thinks it's all too soon - Getting engaged and having a child all at the age of 16" I told her.
"Thats rubbish Troy! I think that it will giveGabriella - Not that she needs it or anything- more confidence that your together and your with her through everything."
"I guess you want me to do it then?"
"Thats up to you, but my opinion is yes, you should"
"Thanks" I said standing up "Want a drink?"
"Duh" Sharpay giggled as i left the room.
A/N: I thought now i would do some Chaylor stuff, this is the first time i have done anything for them so bare with me! x
Chads P.O.V
I'm a wreck. A complete and utter wreck who has no idea what the hell to do.
My girlfriend - Well, she is just not like my girlfriend anymore, we don't talk, i don't see her and she is keeping something from me. I don't know why? Why can't she tell me whats keeping her locked in her house? Why can't she tell me why she won't allow me any where near her? Why can't she speak to me? I don't understand what so ever, i can't think what i did wrong...I care for her, heck! I love her, but she doesn't seem to care or love me back. What am i meant to do, i go around to see her, 'Shes asleep' I ring her 'She's washing her hair'. Thats another thing, how many times can someone was their hair in one day. Alright, so i get the picture - She doesn't want to talk to me, but that doesn't make everything alright does it?
It hurts when i look at Troy and Gabriella and see how close they are, how they tell each other everything, how they can be together through anything - like being parents soon. Where Taylor and I don't seem to have enough trust for her to tell me whats wrong...
My Bestfriend - Seems to be hiding something from me, i have known him since forever and i can't stop the feeling that he knows something but won't tell me. When i bring Taylor up in the conversation he immedietely wants to change the subject and talk about something else...Usually Gabriella. Although i get the feeling he is hiding something i have to admit i admire him. The way he treats gabriella, the way she allows him to take care of her. The way he is working his butt off at school, basketball practice and his job just to get the right grades his parents want him too, live up to his dads expectations and earn enough money for him, Gabriella and their baby to live off.
Gabriella and Troy often have me thinking what it would be like to be a dad, sometimes i can think about it and think NO WAY! i couldn't be a dad, I couldn't look after a baby when i'm more concerned about my afro? Not gonna happen. But other times i can think about it and think YEAH! How cool would it be to say, 'i helped make that child. That child is mine, it has my genes...'.To care and love something soo much i guess could be awesome.
I stood oustdie Taylors house, deciding that it had come o the point where i would put everything 'out on the tabke' as they say and ask Taylor to let me in, not only to her house but her heart. If she didn't want to tell me and was still going to hide away in her house - I had a feeling that this was the end for us.
I knocked on the knocker, waiting patiently as the door was opened to reveal non other then Taylor, her appearance dishevelled and scraggily. Her eyes were swollen, she had no make-up on and she just look exhausted in general. "Can i come in? We need to talk" I asked, surprised as Taylor nodded and opened the front door wider, allowing me in. I followed her up to her room, taking a seat on the bed opposite her.
"What do you want Chad?" She asked Meekly, nervous and anxious.
"I want my Taylor back. The Taylor McKessie i fell in love with, the Taylor McKessie who was upbeat, fun and caring" I said simply
"I think that Taylors gone" She said in an almost whisper.
"Why? Where could she have gone"
"..."
"Taylor, please answer me. I love you, i really do but i can't carry on like this. I need to know whats up, i don't want to give up on this, on us Taylor but i also can't just stand by and let you shut yourself away. Away from me, your supposed boyfriend. Do you love me Taylor?" I asked. I had no idea where the soppy stuff had come from, but i needed to say it, i felt like it was my last shot and i needed to know.
"..."
"Should i take that as a no?"
"..."
I shook my head sadly, "I guess, this is the end for us then" I said, walking towards her bedroom door, stopping aburptly when i heard her break out into tears, sobbing un-controllably as she yelled. "I love you. Chad please don't leave me. I freakin' love you ok!!"
I ran to her side quickly, kneeling down beside her and pulling her into the biggest embrace i could. We seemed to stay like that forever, me stroking her hair and rocking her back and forth with she sobbed.
Soon, the sobs died down and i pulled away, joining her on the bed. "I love you too yeah? And i want to be with you Tay, more then anything but i NEED you to tell me whats wrong before i can help you"
Taylor looked at me, letting out a sob now and again. "You will be mad and break up with me anyway"
"What! What makes your think that? Taylor is can't be that bad"
"Thats the point, it is. Things were never meant to happen like this, you weren't supposed to come anywhere near close to finding out, but i can't take this. Plus what Sharpay said today about how i'm acting has effected me soo much..."
"What did Sharpay say?" I asked, utterly confused.
"She said 'Think about your boyfriend, Taylor. Just think about what he's going through, instead of you for once' I know i have been selfish and i'm sorry, but i made a decision and i regret it soo much! Chad, i freakin' regret it! I wasn't meant to, it was meant to be plain and simple. Over and done with - No one said it would be soo bad! No one said it would make me feel terrible..."
"Taylor, I don't understand, What did you do? What could you possibly have done to make you feel so bad"
"I, I, Chad, I...Dammit I killed our baby!" Taylor cried, her tears starting up in full force now as i sat still, a sense of numbness rushing through my veins. Did she just say what i thought she said.
I noticed Taylor look up at me before speaking again "I didn't...I don't think i thought it through, but it just seemed so simple. I found out i was pregnant and i knew i couldn't...We couldn't keep it. So i had an abortion and i know i should of told you. Gabriella tired to convince me when we were at the clinic -"
"Gabriella, Gabriella was with you?" I choked out, trying to hold back the tears that were undoubtedly about to fall, she had killed our baby.
"Yes, I needed a co-signer and Gabriell..."
I cutt her off once again "Gabriella signed?! She helped!" This i was more shocked about, Gabriella helped kill our baby, she was as much to blame as Taylor. I couldn't believe this.
"Chad, please, it isn't her fault. It's mine, I told her too - Be angry at me, I didn't mean...I'm sorry" Taylor said quickly.
"Sorry?! Taylor you killed our baby! Without telling me?! Our creation" I said dumb-founded. I had never thought Taylor could do such a thing.
"Chad..."
"No. Fucking Save it Taylor! Your on your own, i never want to see you again. You killed our baby!" I yelled, standing up and leaving her room, finally letting the tears fall as i climbed into my truck, I hit the steering wheel in a sudden burst of anger. "I COULD OF BEEN A FUCKING DAD!!"
I could of been a dad -
I could of been a dad -
I could of been a dad -
those words, echoed around in my head along with;
She killed our baby -
She killed our baby -
She killed our baby -
I didn't see anyway back with Taylor, she hadn't even told me. We could've worked through it together...I stopped my thought trail as i realised something; Gabriella helped, she signed those papers - But she tells Troy everything, so either she hadn't told him or he knew and didn't say anything. I froze completely, my thoughts trailing back to earlier, i had thought that Troy was hiding something from me. It was all clear to me now.
This was it.
Troy knew too!! He knew i could've been a dad, he knew about the abortion. He knew and didn't think to tell me is supposed best friend - His supposed 'brother'
In pure anger i started the engine, knowing exactly who i was going to see; I needed to confront everyone who knew. Starting With my supposed 'Bestfriend' and ending with his girlfriend and my supposed friend.
Ooohh! Chad is angry as hell! I'm only writing this cause im off school sick today, so i hope to have some other chapters up x
Plus, i know its short! Sorry but i can't always do long long chapters... One day i will do a huge one...promise!
