The Gabriella's POV is mainly her thoughts; well the cloud stuff is my thoughts from when I was on the trampoline earlier.
Recap
"Don't, let me say it for you, I know you don't trust me, last night was more than both of us can take, I think we should just, stay out of each other's way" He interrupted, then closed his locker and walked away.
"Troy?" I spoke weakly; there was no way he heard.
"Didn't go so good?" Taylor asked from behind me, she must have seen everything.
I shook my head and started running, I had to get away from everyone.
End Recap
Taylor's POV
"Tay, Where's Gabi today?" Chad asked me, it was third period already and I hadn't seen her since she ran off earlier.
"No idea, Troy upset her earlier, she ran off, that was before homeroom, I haven't seen her since, Chad I'm worried" I explained.
"What did he do?" Chad asked.
"She didn't say, she just, ran" I told him.
Before I knew it he was marching over to Troy, who was sitting at another desk talking to Zeke and Jason, Gabriella was like the sister he never had, and nobody hurt his sister.
I followed quickly behind him.
"What the hell did you do to Gabi?" Chad pretty much yelled in his face.
"I only said what she was gonna say" Troy answered.
"Then why did you walk away?" I asked him, confused.
"Because we both think we should stay out of each other's way" Troy spoke, like it was obvious.
"That's what you said to her?" I asked.
He nodded, still looking at Chad.
"You really are a moron" I began, "She wasn't coming to break up with you"
"She wasn't?" He muttered, more of a statement than a question.
"No, she was going to tell you she wanted things to back to how they were" I told him, or at least that's the impression I got.
"Alright Class, please take your seats and turn to page 24 in the text books" Mr Adams called out.
"Where is she?" He asked me.
"WE DON'T KNOW" Chad yelled.
"Mr. Danforth, stop shouting and take your seat, you aswell Miss. Mckessie" Mr Adams ordered.
We went to our desks and sat down, I was too worried to argue right now.
Troy was still standing, leaning against his desk, obviously digesting what I'd just told him.
"Mr.Bolton, please take your seat" Mt Adams directed at him.
Troy seemed to consider this before announcing, "I have to leave"
Gabriella's POV
'How could he do this' I thought to myself.
I'd always trusted him, but he'd let me down again, he'd let me down more times than my dad had, ok so what dad did was worse, but he hasn't repeated it, yet.
I'd been getting countless calls and texts on my cell, I'd ignored them all, I didn't want to talk to anyone right now, I'd rather just lay here, looking at the clouds, the only things that can't let me down, unless it rains, then they have let me down, which wouldn't surprise me.
My cell rang again; my Mom's face flashed onto the screen, the school would have told her by now, I should really answer, to explain.
I watched until it rang off, then turned my attention back to the clouds. White and fluffy, floating above me on nothingness, gloating happiness, carefree, mindless, frosty white.
Wait a minute, why am I thinking about clouds? Well I know why, to keep my mind off other things.
I was lying on a bench in the rooftop garden, wait a minute, why is there a garden on the roof, wouldn't it make more sense to have it on the ground, my cell rang again, that's getting annoying now, I'm not even going to look.
I seriously need to stop thinking, but how can I stop thinking, great, now I'm thinking about not thinking, maybe I should just think about how many classes I'd missed, I'm gonna be so behind, I should call someone, no I'll copy Taylor's notes.
"Gabi?" Someone said behind me.
I didn't look, I knew who it was.
"Gabi" He repeated, more firmly this time. "Look at me"
I didn't want to, I knew the tears were still wet on my cheeks; I'd hardly stopped crying since I got here, how could he do this.
He was coming closer I could feel it.
He sat down and started playing with my hair, it seemed strange really, me, lying on a bench, and him, sitting by be, playing with my hair.
"Talk to me" He urged.
I said nothing, desperately willing my mind to go back to the clouds, it wasn't working,
"Gabi, don't be like this" He begged, "Talk to me"
I looked up to face him, looking into his deep blue eyes, I had to look away, if I didn't, those eyes would weaken me.
He was still twirling my hair around his fingers.
"Leave me alone" I finally said.
"You know I can't do that," He answered softly.
He was trying to weaken me, so obviously trying.
"Why are you here?" I asked.
"You thought I wouldn't come?" He questioned.
"Not as if you had a reason to" I pointed out, I wasn't going to make this easy for him.
"Haven't got a reason!" He was getting angry. "Gabi, I love you, I loved you the first time I saw you, I only said what I did this morning because I though that's what you wanted, I did it for you, I know I upset you but…"
"Everything's about you in your world isn't it" I interrupted, sitting up. "Ever thought I have better things to worry about than you"
"Calm down, I'm here, and I'm not going anywhere, so you might as well talk" He reasoned.
"I have to go" I spoke as I stood up and tried to walk away, I hadn't noticed he'd taken hold of my hand. "Let go"
"You don't want me too," He told me, mirroring my thoughts.
I stared at him for a while before sitting back down.
"Taylor's freaking about you," He said. "Chad was all for knocking me out"
I laughed at that. "He's just being Chad"
I felt horrible for laughing, this day wasn't funny.
Troy must have noticed my sudden mood changes.
"Don't go back to this, I was wrong this morning, I thought we got past that bit, I'm sorry, I love you, what else matters?" He was worried now.
"It's not you," I admitted.
"Then what is it?" He asked.
"Today…" I began.
I stopped and looked up into his eyes, he gave me a reassuring look that told me to carry on.
"Today's the anniversary of my dad's death," I told him. "Kevin Dad not Dad Dad"
He wrapped his arm around me, pulling me closer, I didn't pull away, I didn't want too, but a knew I should, things were far from all right between us, and things wouldn't be normal for a while.
Only two more updates left now. Haha, the clouds.
What should I write next?
1.A normal sequel
2.A songfic sequel
3.A real-life cast Fic
4.A totally new story
5.An Isobel-centred story
