Gabriella's POV
THREE WEEKS LATER
I thought everything with me and Troy was great, us being back together…that was three weeks ago. After about two weeks it kind of just died. It was like all of the love we had secretly saved all these years just drained out of us, leaving us with nothing. Troy is still my friend, and it feels much better that way. I don't know how to do it though…dump him? I don't want to hurt him but I just have to do this.
Troy's POV
Gabi and me…it's just getting old. I love Gabi, but not like high school. She's my friend. It wouldn't even be possible for us to be more than in a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship, I couldn't marry her. There was nothing left. I don't want to make her cry if she still loves me. That's Gabi, calling me.
T-Hey
G-Hey, I was thinking maybe you could come over tonight.
Great more sex… I can't do that with her anymore. It doesn't feel right, almost as bad as your sister.
T- I guess, not for long though
G-Cool, come by around five?
Wow that's earlier than usual.
T- See you then
Gabriella's POV
I have to do this tonight, I just have to. It's almost time… he'll be here any minute. Oh my god I'm going to die, I can't do this. No Gabi just breathe and do it. Tap Tap…I nearly jumped out of my skin. "Hi Troy" I said letting him in" "Hi" Is he uncomfortable…he's got his arms crossed and all his weight is resting on one leg, he doesn't look very comfortable to me. "So Troy. I wanted to talk to you about somethings." "Me too" He said. "Troy…I don't know how long you expected to keep this going…you know, us. But I've been thinking…at first, I seemed more like myself than I have been since I last saw you. Then everything seemed fine. But the longer I saw you, the more our love from high school just evaporated. It felt so wrong…being with you, like that. I just want to be friends. Is that okay" He eased up a bit. Not the response I was looking for. "That's exactly what I feel like! I'm really glad you feel the same way." "That's great…" I said and gave him a kiss on the cheek, he showed no reaction at all…good, he was telling the truth. "So you want to watch a movie?" I asked him. "That sounds good"
End of Gabriella's POV
Troy and Gabriella sat on the edge of her bed watching their favorite movie, throwing popcorn at each other, and having the time of their life, as the rain outside stopped and the sun started to go down.
