Drowning
Disclaimer: I only own the plot and one character in this chapter.
Gabriella awoke the next morning to her phone ringing. She reached over and turned on the lamp on the bedside table and looked at the phone. It said "Danforth, Chad 1-91-654-1234" (A/N: Number is made up.)
"Hello?" Gabriella said after pressing "Talk". She sounded half-asleep because it was 4:00 in the morning!
"Gabriella, I have something to show you." Chad said. They hung up, and Chad went into her apartment.
"What is it Chad?" Gabriella asked when he was there. He sat on her bed and sighed.
"I don't know how to tell you this. So let me show you this." Chad said. "I need you to put on some shoes and a jacket. We have to go to Troy's really quick." Gabriella did as she was told. When they walked out the door Taylor was there. Taylor slipped her hand in Gabriella's and they walked out to Chad's car. When they got to Troy's, the light in his room was open, and instead of one car in the drive way, it was two.
"What's going on?" Gabriella asked. Taylor and Chad said nothing. They all got out and Chad put in his key and turned the knob. They walked quietly up to Troy's room, where you could hear a girl and Troy talking. They opened the door to see Troy and a woman that was about 27 holding hands and talking and laughing and everything. Then they kissed. Now, she wasn't Troy's sister or cousin. And Troy kissed her with the same amount of passion that he kissed Gabriella.
"What is going on in here!" Gabriella screamed. Troy broke away and looked up at Gabriella's face. There were tears streaming down it at the speed of light.
"Gabbi!" Troy said. He stood up and let go of the girl's hand.
"You didn't answere me, Troy Drake Bolton. What is going on here?" Gabriella said. She stopped crying but looked serious.
"Err..." Troy said, trying to think up an excuse.
"Troy. Who's this girl?" The girl asked. The girl's name was Jessica.
"Jessica!" Gabriella exclaimed. "How could you...You know I was...Why are you..." Gabriella and Jessica were best friends. Well, until now.
"Gabriella! This is the Troy you were talking about!" Jessica said.
"How could you do this to me? Troy you know that I love you! And now, you're cheating on me with one of my best friends!" Gabriella said tearfully. She took of the ring and threw it at Troy. She then took off one of the necklace's she had started to wear that Troy gave her back in senior year of high school. It was a floatie, like the one's you see on the sides of boats.
"Gabriella! What are you doing!" Troy said.
"You let me drown!" Gabriella screamed. She took Troy's hand and put the necklace in it then closed his fingers around it.
FLASHBACK
"Gabriella. It's our 1 year anniversary!" A younger Troy said. It was senior yet. He was holding a box behind his back.
"I know." A younger Gabriella said. He had walked into her room and she got up from her desk to give him a kiss. When they broke away, they exchanged presents. Troy got a new video game that he wanted and Gabriella got the floatie necklace.
"As long as you wear that necklace, I will never let you drown." Troy said. He put on the necklace for her.
END FLASHBACK
"I'm sorry!" Troy ran after Gabriella who was half way down the stairs.
"Why were you cheating on me?" Gabriella asked quietly. She was still crying.
"I don't know. I guess I felt like being with someone else for a while. But I felt like sticking to you."
RINGRINGRING
Gabriella woke up to her phone ringing. She bolted up right.
"It was just a dream, Gabriella. Just a dream." She told herself. She picked up the phone.
"Hello?" she said.
"Hey. Did you have a crazy dream about me cheating on you with Jessica?" Troy asked her.
"Yeah. Did you?" Gabriella asked.
"Yes. It's like fate was warning us about a mistake that one of us would make." Troy said. "Do you still have on your floatie necklace?" Gabriella reached up and grabbed a charm that was shaped like a floatie on a chain around her neck.
"I always do." Gabriella said. They both smiled and talked for a little bit.
"You know that I would never cheat on you, right?" Troy asked her.
"Yeah. You know I'll never take off this necklace and this ring?" Gabriella asked back.
"Of course." Troy said. They hung up and went back to sleep after that.
Yes, yes I know. It's short. But hey, it was good. I liked how I made it a dream! Please review!
Love,
