Hey, guyzizz…. Anywayz, R&R please.
"He………"
"What the hell! Tell me!"
"He was a gang member and he wanted to leave for me. I told him not to, but he did anyway and the gang leader, person had him killed."
"You did 'it' with a gang member?"
"Well, yeah." She was WICKED embarrassed now.
"Oh, my god!" Gabby walked around from behind the doorway where she had been hiding and listening to the 'conversation' going on. "So, you yell at him for cheating when you did anyway! At least you knew what he did! You're such a flippen hypocrite! God, I can't STAND it in this house anymore." She grabbed her coat off it's hook and walked out the door.
Taylor was running up the walkway to see her. "Tell me that you're alright."
"Yes, everything is alright."
"Oh, please tell me that you're alright."
"YES, everything is alright."
"Tell me that you're alright."
"Who the hell are you? Motion City Soundtrack?"
"Sorry. Everything is not alright. You're crying and practically fleeing you're house. What's wrong?"
"Nothing!"
"Uh-huh. Okay, what's wrong?"
"NOTHING!"
"WTF Gabs! I'm, like, your best friend and you won't even tell me what the flip is wrong! Dude, something is wrong because you're crying your eyes out and if I didn't know any better, I'd say you were running away! What the flip is wrong!"
"Nothing!" sigh "It's just……………. It's to embarrassing, okay."
They had been walking, well Gabby walking and Taylor following, and were at the park, now. "C'mon. Sit and you can tell me about it. No matter how embarrassing. I won't laugh. Promise, okay?"
"Yea." They walked over to a park bench and sat.
"So…….."
"Yea, um………… you know how my Dave cheated on Kristina?"
"Yea, God, this has to be bad if you won't call them mom and dad anymore."
Gabby nodded. "So, anyway, it turns out that Kristina, well…….. It's…………. okay, so Dave isn't my real father, and my real father was a Hispanic gang member who got killed cuz he wanted to leave the gang for Kristina which would have been stupid anyway cuza Dave was there, her husband so they would have gotten a divorce, anyway but maybe then I could have had a real father and a dad, not some scum ball parents who hate each other and lie through their teeth to me and oh, gods, I don't know, Tay, I just don't know!"
Taylor put her hand on Gabby's back and tried to offer comfort. "I can see why you didn't want to tall me. I'm so sorry Gabby. I would kill my parents if I knew that this was what happened when and before I was a baby."
Gabby laughed a little. It was just a small laugh, you know the kind. The one where you're so flippen miserable, but there's that one person who always make you laugh? You know what I mean?
"C'mon. Let's go see Troy."
Gabby looked at her friend with grateful eyes. She knew Tay didn't like Troy much. They stood up and walked to Troy's house.
When Troy finally opened the door, and saw the sight, he knew something was wrong. Something had to be wrong. Gabby didn't just burst out crying for no reason at all. He embraced her into a big hug, then led her inside. She sat down on his couch and then Tay and Troy sat down on either side of her.
"So, whatsa matter?"
Gabby retold the story and when she was done, Troy hugged her tight. She cried into his shoulder. She never wanted to move from that spot, but of course, Troy moved. He lifted up her head. "Gabs, you have to face your parents. There's no other way."
"What do you mean? Of course there's another way. There's gotta be another way! I'm serious! My parents………I could just run away. I'll live with you! That's it, I'll live with you! And if you won't let me, I'll stay with Tay!" She looked at both of their faces expectantly. She was like a little kid.
"I agree with Troy, Gabs. You have to face your parents."
"NO! No, I don't! You can't make me! So…………so there!"
"No, Gabby. You have to go home." Troy was keeping his voice low and calm.
Except, not Taylor. "GABRIELLA MONTEZ! GET YOUR BUTT BACK HOME AND TALK TO YOUR PARENTS!" She said the last part, slowly, as if Gabby was a little kid. Well, if she was gonna act like one, she was gonna be treated like one. "NOW!" Her voice was firm.
"But, but……….."
"NO! NOW!"
Gabby whimpered a little. "Fine."
"And we'll go with you. Okay?" she was quiet, now.
"Thank you."
Tay took her hand and Troy gripped her shoulders. "We're not gonna let them hurt you anymore. They have to face you and tell you all of their secrets. Okay? What do you think Troy?"
"I think that's a fine idea!"
"Uh, me too." Gabby put in weakly.
"Atta spirit!"
Gabby smiled. Tay was the best friend. The best friend anyone could have. And Troy, he was the best boyfriend. She knew that they were gonna help her through this. She didn't need parents or aunts. Just, these two people right here. She smiled as she approached her door.
The end!
