A/N I can't believe I am writing this! I had an accident at work lmao. I am sure fire fine! Anyway I dedicate this chapter to the girl who imed me. She knows who she is, I don't want to reveal her AIM name. I'd like to say sorry to her. I couldn't stick around AIM cuz I need to go to bed. Anyway I apologize to my readers for only one chapter tonight. Today I was accidentally smocked in the head with a swinging door at work. I really apologize and I hope no one's mad.
Gabriella peeked around the corner, Troy's house was quit, and not even Doofus around. She creped through the hallways in case Troy was still asleep. She looked and saw that the kitchen light was on. Gabriella walked more forward, and peeked inside the kitchen. Troy wasn't around, but Doofus was who was snacking on a huge bowl of dog food. Gabriella looked around and noticed a note on the fridge. She peeled it off and began to read.
" Hey Gab-
Had to go to work, first day as a the coach at East High, make yourself at home. The media's left your house, there was a call on the machine from Chad saying the police were called. Anyway, see you sometime , sighed Troy"
Gabriella nodded her head, she walked around for a few moments, than proceeded to clean up the house, a little present for Troy for letting her stay there. After hours of scrubbing, washing and making the house shine, she wrote a letter of thanks and off her and Doofus went.
Gabriella was happy to see her house was in perfect condition, but unhappy with the trampled flowers. Gabriella went inside and looked around, she couldn't help but feel that bored itch. She had it on her 2 week long honeymoon, and now suddenly it was back. Gabriella decided to take a shower, and head out for some coffee from Star Bucks and maybe some light shopping. Yet, first, she disguised herself with a hat and sunglasses. Fearing that the paparazzi were around, Gabriella went into town. First she stopped off at Star Bucks, and than around the nice boutiques. As she walked into The Silver, a shoe boutique, she walked head on into Sharpay.
" Excuse me" Sharpay laid on the snotty attitude, Gabriella winced and apologized quickly. Sharpay who had been leaving the store, turned on her heels and followed Gabriella into the store.
" You man stealing bitch" Sharpay called out at her, Gabriella rolled her eyes and continued to browser. The sales lady looked a little displeased but continued on with her work. Gabriella didn't give into Sharpay, it's better to ignore than make a scene. Sharpay presisted, calling Gabriella every name in the book. Fed up, Gabriella whipped her head around and finally snapped.
" Listen, I wasn't involved with this, so you can just leave me alone Sharpay, it's over and I want no contact with you at all" Gabriella forced her words out rudely, hoping that Sharpay would just leave her alone.
" No wonder your husband killed himself, he married you!" Sharpay shot back, Gabriella turned on her, giving Sharpay the death glaring and than walked out of the store.
" Fuck this shit" Gabriella muttered angrily to herself, she drove herself back home and wandered back into her bed.
Gabriella pretty much stayed in bed for the next week, having all her phones turned off and just laying in bed, thinking but hardly sleeping. Any sleep got, had dreams of Chris in them, and they weren't happy dreams but foul mean dreams.
Kelsi knocked on the front door of Gabriella's door, a friend of a friend of a friend had told her the run in between Gabriella and Sharpay and what was said. Kelsi got fed up and used her key to get in. Doofus was whining to be let out, so Kelsi put the dog on its leash and let Doofus run around the yard. Kelsi walked through the house, it was strangely quiet. Kelsi walked into Gabriella's bedroom and frowned.
" Don't let her get to you Gabriella!" Kelsi exclaimed, walking over to Gabriella's bed, sitting down and giving her a hug.
" I know I know, but what if Chris did it because of me, what if I did drive him to it, I can't take this anymore, I really can't deal with this anymore. I'm so ready to break, everyone thinks that I'm the reason he did it. Maybe I am, I don't know" Gabriella's eyes filled with tears, the streaked down her face.
" No, Gabriella, don't think like that. Remember, Chris said you were his happiness, you made him happy sweetie. Chris was just confused, and lost but he knew you loved him, now hunny, let him go. Chris would want you to be happy but your so miserable and I bet he's unhappy with that." Kelsi knew exactly what to say.
The two sat in the bed for the longest time, until Gabriella decided that she wanted some food. Kelsi went downstairs and looked over some take out menus while Gabriella got showered and dressed. They both decided on some Chinese food, and some beer to drink that night. Gabriella decided to have a sort of celebration for Chris and for moving on.
" He'll always remain in my heart, but it's time to move on or I'm going to break" Gabriella spoke and clicked her beer bottle against Kelsi's.
That night after Kelsi went home, Gabriella alone in the dark looked over the wedding album but than put it away in her memory chest. Today would be the start of something new. Gabriella wondered if she'd be ready to date again, because Gabriella hated to say she couldn't deny the feelings she had for Troy.
