RECAP...

" dude I don't think he's playing" I said as troy quickly turned around. I could see that he was crying. He looked at us like he hated us.

" troy wait" Gabriella went and got off the bus too.

" dude I think we might off passed a little" I said.

" yeah I feel bad" Jason said.

" oh well. Who wants cookies! They're fresh!" Zeke said not even caring.

" I do!" I said.

WHEN GABRIELLA GOT OFF THE BUS…

" wait" Gabriella said.

" leave me alone!" troy yelled with a deep voice.


here's chapter 19 enjoy :)

" I told them to stop!" Gabriella yelled.

" What part of leave me alone don't you understand!" troy yelled and walked faster.

Gabriella stopped following him. She felt bad for him,

Gabriella's pov…

This is all my fault! I should've done something. I wish he could just forgive me….

" What can I do to make you forgive me" Gabriella said.

" Nothing!" troy said.

" Please I can help you"

" I don't need your help! I told you to back off! Don't look for me! Talk to me! Don't even follow me!" troy turned around once again and looked at Gabriella crying.

" B-but I-I"

Troy sighed. " Gabby…" troy whispered..

" Just let me be with you" Gabriella said going to sit next to a tree but troy didn't move and just looked at her cry.

" I want you to be with me….but we can't" troy said walking to sit next to her.

She was quiet.

" I'm sorry….for yelling at you. None of this was your fault. It's just that today….wasn't what you call a 'Good day'' troy said.

" Why can't you just let me get close to you" Gabriella said.

" You have to understand. My dad he… he's not who he used to be. And well I just miss him…a lot" troy said.

" I know how you feel it's like he's gone"

" No it isn't. he h-hits me……and he swore to me he would rather die before doing something like that….he broke his promise!" troy said and Gabriella gave him a hug.

FLASHBACK….

Three years back….

" Ok troy remember. Left" my dad said as we were playing basketball at in my house.

" Yeah" I said as I tried to get the ball into the basket.

" Good job!" my dad said giving me a high-five.

" So let's go run! We need to keep in shape you know" troy laughed.

" You know what let's sit down and talk"

" No comon! I want to be as good as you when I get to the try-outs!" troy said playing with the basketball.

" You will."

" Dad I wish someday I can be the captain of the basketball team! I know I'm just a freshman in school but I bet if I work hard enough I'll one day be the team captain" troy said.

" Don't worry"

" So comon let's go!"

" You know I will never try to force you to play basketball" coach Bolton said.

" I love basketball. You will never have to force me" troy said bouncing the ball.

" I just want you to be happy"

" I am happy. I'll never hat basketball. I will always love it no matter what" troy said shooting the ball into the net.

" You do know that I love you and I will never try to hurt you right?" he said.

" Yeah" troy said paying attention to basketball instead of his dad.

" I'll rather die before even touching you. I will kill myself if I ever did something to you"

" Dad where is all this coming from?" troy said.

" Just wanted you to know"

" Ok then. I promise I will never quit OR hate basketball" troy said.

" You don't have to promise me anything…I'll keep my promise"

" Ok….now can we go run and after that practice a little more"

" Yeah let's go"

" Here's take the ball" troy threw the ball to his dad, but he wasn't paying attention and hit him on the stomach.

" Ohh I am so sorry" troy laughed.

" Oh you are so goanna get it" his dad said laughing too.

" If you can catch up to me" troy started to run.

" Oh don't worry I will" they both went for a run…

END OF FLASHBACK….

" He said it…." troy said as Gabriella.

" That was three years ago. Do you really think he remembers" Gabriella said.

" It doesn't matter. This is all my fault"

" Not it's not you know it's not"

" I feel sick inside thinking about everything that has happen" troy said.

" Troy…' Gabriella said.

" Like he just doesn't care about me… and every time I see him he scares me" troy whispered.

" But you got to learn how to let go. Your dad is not the same, he changed" Gabriella said leaned against troy shoulder..

" I can't" troy said looking at Gabriella's eyes.

" This must be very hard for you"

" You have no idea"

" Can you just make pace with him"

" It's not as easy as it looks. As you said he's not the same. If you don't listen to him he…he…he hits you" troy said.

" Do you think. He'll keep going"

" I don't want to talk about him"

" Sorry"

" Look I have to get home. I have packs of homework to be done" he said standing up.

" So are you still mad at me" Gabriella said while troy helped her stand up too.

" I never was. I was mad at myself"

" Guess I have to go"

" Yeah. Bye"

" Troy"

" Yes"

" I'll always be here for you ok"

"Yeah" troy gave her the smallest smile.

"Bye" Gabriella walked away.

" She doesn't mean that" troy said and walked home.

WHEN HE GOT HOME….

Troy's pov…..

So after me and Gabriella talked I went straight home. I walked in and just walked to the only place I felt save in, my room. I sat on my desk and started reading the science book.

After a few minutes someone knocked.

( knocking sounds)

I just ignored it and went back to reading.

" open up" I heard.

" I'm not in the mood to talk to liars!" I knew it was my dad.

" just open the freaking door!" he yelled.

" I'm doing my stupid homework!" I said.

" practice" he said.

" do you expect me to play basketball!…..with you!…no way! I rather do homework all day!"

" don't make me-"

" oh hey honey" he said.

" what?" I said walking to the door and opening it, and saw my mom and DAD standing there.

" what's going on" she said crossing her arms.

" I don't know….maybe you should as him" I said referring to my dad.

" I was just telling troy, if he wanted to go play basketball down at the gym in town"

" Really?"

" yes"

" and I said no.''

" troy I think you and your dad should spend some time together"

" I have LOTS of homework…PACKS!" I said walking in my room.

" I think I can take it from here" my dad said.

Wait! Did he just say ' take it from here'!

" you sure?"

You sure? Does that mean yes! How can she be so blind!

" yes"

" ok I'll be down stairs if you two need anything" she said walking down stairs.

He walked in and closed the door. I backed up a little.

" can you leave! Can't you see I'm busy!" I yelled.

" I've been trying to be nice. But with the way you're acting it's just Too hard" he said.

Nice yeah right.

" what do you want from me!" I said.

" make you life miserable!"

" what! Why are you doing all this!"

" why do you care!"

" because! I miss the old dad! That one who I had fun with. Playing basketball, running, and more basketball"

" I just don't like you! Can't you understand! I never did!" he yelled.

"well………. Can't you just leave me alone! Go far away where I can't see you!….like die!" I yelled, as he came closer to me giving me an angry look.

" you little brat! All you do is yell at me about how much you hate me and want me to die! I want to you to die! So I cane have some peace in my life!" h yelled pushing me.

" yeah me too! At least I won't get to see you!" I said crying because I was mad.
