Authors Note: Sorry for the lack of update. But it's now spring break, so... Yeah. Thanks for the reviews. It's short, but enjoy!
The camping trip was short, only 3 days, but they got to know eachother alot more. The most important thing? The memories of the funeral vannished. The ride home was akwardly silent. Gabi was sleeping as Troy drove 11 hours. He swurved off the road a few times, tired and bored. When they got home it was nighttime. Gabi was dropped off at her house and Troy carried her bags up to her room.
"Gabi, David called a few times." Gabi's mom told her. She stopped in the hallway. She tilted her headback and sighed. Gabi's mom walked where the couple was standing and said 'Oh', as she didn't know Troy was standing there. He finnished carrying her bags into the room.
"So, who's David?" Troy asked, throwing her bag on her bed. "Troy it's not important." She said throwing down her purse. "No. Who's David." He said, grabbing her arm and looking her in the eyes. "Troy, stop being such an asshole." Troy became angry, with fears of Gabriella cheating on him rushing through his mind. "Who is he Gabriella?" That was it, she had to confess. The only time he says Gabriella is either A. When someone has to move, B. When someone dies, or C. Troy is about to have a heartattack. "Troy, I've got to go." And with that she hung up the phone. She wasn't ready to talk.
Several days passed, and Troy and Gabriella still weren't talking. It was tearing them apart, but Gabi couldn't say anything. Finally, on the first day of school Troy woke up extra early. He walked over to Gabriella's house just as she was walking out the door. She was dressed in blue jeans with a red Abercrombie Polo and red converses. "What are you doing here?" Gabi asked as she closed the door behind her. "I'm can't go in there without you." Troy said, holding out his hand for her to hold. She smiled, "Troy, can we talk about this after school?" Troy just nodded and entwined his fingers with hers.
School dragged on slowly. Troy sat there all during chemistry trying to figure out who David was. Then during Pre-Calc, he sat there on the verge of tears. This had been the first year Chad and Troy weren't in math together. Jason was there, but it was quiet. Noone wanted to talk, especially Troy. Lunch was silent. Everyone stared at the open seat where Chad used to sit. It wasn't like when Gabriella left, because they knew that it was only for a little while, but Chad was gone for good. It broke their hearts.
The end of the day approached, and Troy's heart was skipping beats. He found Gabi at her locker getting notebooks in, "I don't get you. The first day of school and you're bringing stuff home." "Advanced English will be the death of me." She laughed. "No way, first day and you have homework?" Gabi zipped up her bag and looked at Troy as she flung it over her shoulders, "I'm afraid so."
The walk was silent. Gabi wasn't ready to talk yet, but she knew if she didn't then their relationship would be in an akward position. That was the last thing Troy and Gabi needed. They reached Troy's house. They walked up to his room and sat on his bed. "So, who is this David?" Troy said, as calmly as he could be. "David... He's my real dad." Gabi said faintly as she stared at Troy's hand that was placed on her knee. "What about the one that died?" Gabi sighed, "That was my step-dad." "Then why did your Mom make such a big deal out of it when she found out I was there?" Troy asked staring at his hand. "I didn't want anyone knowing." "Why not?" "Troy, David's in prison. He calls us randomly. I haven't had the heart to talk to him." "Why's he in prison?" Troy asked looking at her. She looked up at Troy. "Jesus Christ." She said under her breath as she sighed. "What'd he do?" Troy asked. Gabi let out a deep breath, "He raped me." She stuttered.
Troy's eyes opened wide. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her hard on the forehead. "I'm sorry." Troy said, practically in tears. Gabi dug her nails into his back as she cried into his navy blue sweatshirt. "Don't tell anyone. Please?" She begged into his shoulder. "I promise." He responded, rubbing her back, "I promise."
Sorry, it's kind of lame. I'll update tomorrow.
