I looked at the time again and just rolled my eyes … I turned myself around to look at my daughter, sitting there.
"You okay?" I asked her.
She looked up from her book and nodded at me. I smiled and looked at my phone … I had no messages or missed phone calls from him, it really made me cross that he is always running late for Sienna … I know it most likely because something has happened at the school. I got out of the car and dialled his number.
It rang a couple of seconds and he answered. "I'm 2 minutes away."
I groaned, shaking my head … Hanging up, I wasn't in the mood to hear his excuses. I got back in the car and smiled at her. "Daddy will be here in a minute."
A car pulled up, next to mine and I got out of the car … He got out of the car in a hurry and began talking. "I'm sorry I'm late, I had something to do before coming here." He said. "The school drama class ran over."
"Oh," I replied, nodding my head. "It's fine."
I opened the car door and got Sienna out of the car. "Mommy see you on Monday afternoon," I said, hugging her tight.
"Love you mommy," She whispered, hugging me.
I handed her over to him and he put her in the car … He turned to me. "Are you okay?" He asked.
I nodded. "Yeah fine," I lied.
"I'll see you Monday afternoon, I'll drop her off at the house." He said.
I smiled and nodded … I watched him get into the car and drive off, I covered my face and burst into tears. I dialled my best friend's number and she answered the phone.
"Hey sweet, what's up?"
I took a deep breath in, trying to find the tears. "Oh Tay," I cried.
"Gabs, what's happened?"
"Are you at home?" I asked, letting more tears fall.
"Yes of course, come over."
"I'll see you half an hour." I said, hanging up.
I got to my best friend's house, I sat in the car looking at the house … I could see her husband upstairs, rocking their baby to sleep … I let out a deep breath before getting out of the car and walking towards the door, I knocked on it.
Taylor opened the door and took one look at me. "Oh Gabs," She said, hugging me.
I just cried even more into her shoulder, holding her tight … If anyone knows what I'm going through right now apart from my soon to be ex-husband, is my best friend and her husband … Not that they know what it feels like but they have watched mine and his marriage fall apart slowly.
I sat down on the sofa and she handed me a glass of wine.
"What happened?" She asked.
I could feel the tears coming again, I looked at my glass of wine ... How do I answer this? I'm not even sure what happened myself, nothing happened apart from he asked me how I was and I lied to him.
I shook my head. "I don't even know what happened." I answered.
"Troy got Sienna?" Taylor said.
I nodded, letting the tears fall.
Taylor smiled at me weakly, I could see the tears filling her eyes as she looked away from me. "You know he still cares about you?"
I nodded as I took a sip of my wine and placed it down on the table. "I know."
"Have you filed for the divorce?" Taylor asked.
I shook my head. "I went to see my lawyer but I forgot why I had made an appointment with him so I walked out."
Taylor was letting the tears roll down her cheek. "Why are you divorcing him if you still love him?"
"Oh Tay!" I let out, standing up and looking out of the window. "Please, not this again…"
Taylor came over to me. "But seriously, why? When this could possibly work out with just getting right help?" Taylor asked me … I stood there, hugging myself, letting the tears fall … Taylor put her arms around me. "You know you only have to say the words and he will come back."
"I know," I whispered.
Troy's Pov
I watched Sienna play with Jacob and Sidney … I could tell Sienna was being bossy as she told the boys what to do, I just smiled as I kept my eyes on our Sienna.
I always enjoy my weekends with Sienna, she's the only thing that keeps me going and the only thing I have truly left of her mom … It always breaks my heart, everytime I pick Sienna up on Friday from her mom, I hate taking her from her mom … I would do anything to have weekends back as a family.
Gabriella.
"Dude," Chad said to me.
I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at Chad. "Yeah,"
"Shall we go for pizza?" Chad asked.
I nodded. "Yeah, sure."
Chad looked at me, I know Chad only has to take one look at me and know something is wrong. "What's wrong?" Chad questioned.
"Nothing," I lied.
Chad scoffed, shaking his head. "How did the pick up go yesterday?"
I shrugged my shoulders, looking at Sienna before looking back at Chad. "Like nothing happened." I responded, trying not to let the tears come but I looked down at my hands. "Just … I don't know what I can do anymore."
Chad nodded slowly. "Just be there for her."
I looked at Sienna, nodding my head. "I'm trying."
Later on that day … I and Sienna went back to my parents house.
"We're home," I called.
"IN THE KITCHEN!" My mum yelled.
I looked at Sienna and spoke.
"Go and pick a film and I'll get the popcorn."
Sienna screamed, running upstairs happily … I chuckled and went into the kitchen to see my mum, making dinner … I gave her a kiss on the cheek before going to the fridge for a drink.
"Where's dad?" I asked.
"He's out with his golf friends, he will be back at 8pm … Are you and Sienna wanting dinner?" My mom asked.
I shook my head. "No, we had pizza out."
My mom smiled at me. "Popcorns in the cupboard."
I chuckled and then my phone rang … I looked at the caller ID, I didn't recognize it so I answered it.
"Hello?"
"Good afternoon, is this Mr. Troy Bolton?"
"It is."
"Ah, my name is Harold Bold, I'm Mrs. Gabriella Bolton lawyer, I'm calling to inform you that Mrs. Bolton has filed for a divorce … I need an address to send the papers to you."
I put the phone down and looked at my mom. "Troy?" She said … I just shook my head, my eyes were filling.
"Mom," I could barely say.
She walked over to me and took the phone off me and spoke to the lawyer … I just walked away and went into the back garden, I sat down on the chair … I covered my face, letting the tears fall.
"Troy!" My mom called me.
I heard her coming towards me and bent down to look at me, she smiled weakly before hugging me. "Oh sweetheart," She let out, squeezing.
"W-why?" I breathed out, I could barely breathe the words out.
"I know it hurts now but it does get better," My mom told me.
"I don't want it too!" I burst out, standing up.
"Oh Troy!" My mom cried. "She's given up,"
"No," I said, shaking my head … Looking at my mom. "I can't…"
My mom took hold of my hands and squeezed them. "I know you can't but she obviously can't see a way through,"
Before I could say anything else. "Daddy," Sienna said, standing there with my dad.
I wiped my tears away and walked toward her, picking her up and going back inside the house … I got the popcorn and we sat on the sofa for the best 2 hours. My parents had joined us, I hadn't really been paying any attention to the film … I was playing with my wedding ring and looking at the photo of me and Gabriella on my mom and dad's wall.
It was breaking me, all I want is her … All I want is to help her but how can I be there for her when she won't let me.
"Come on, Sienna." My mom said, standing up. "Bed time."
Sienna got up and looked at me. "Night daddy,"
I kissed her on the forehead before hugging her. "Night princess." I whispered.
She took my mom's hand and went upstairs … The next thing I saw was a glass of whiskey being offered to me from my dad, I took it.
"Thanks," I said.
My dad sat down and let out a sigh. "Troy, I know you don't want to hear this right now and I know it hurts but…"
"Times a great healer?" I asked.
My dad looked at me before nodding his head slowly.
"Tell me this dad, is she doing the right thing?" I questioned.
My dad looked away from me for a few seconds before looking at me again. "I don't know," My dad answered. "I think Gabriella is hurting and so are you,"
I stood up and walked over to the picture that hung on the wall of me and Gabriella … We had just got married and found out that day, she was pregnant with our Sienna … I turned and looked at my dad and saw my mom stood in the doorway.
"I love her." I cried, quietly.
My parents didn't say anything but I could see the sadness in their eyes … I just went upstairs to my bedroom.
Gabriella's Pov
Am I making the right choice?
I sat in the car, just staring at the house that used to be a happy place, that used to be a family home but now it's just dark and cold inside. I haven't been inside since I came out of hospital … I had got Troy to take me to my mom's house and that is where I have been living for the last 3 months without Troy.
I had got Taylor to get mine and Sienna's stuff out of the house … I remember the heartbreaking conversation that took place on my mom's doorstep.
3 months ago
I had just been sitting down, watching a film with Sienna, Troy and my mom … We had all been laughing and eating crisps and cake once the film was over, I had bathed and put Sienna to bed before heading back downstairs and seeing Troy talking to my mom but the conversation stopped and they looked at me.
I smiled. "What's going on?" I asked.
Troy quickly looked at my mom before looking back at me. "Brie, we need to talk." Troy said, I folded my arms and nodded. "I think we should go home."
I knew what he had meant but I shook my head. "I am home,"
Troy was quiet for a few minutes, I could tell he was confused. "This isn't our home."
"Troy, I can't." I said, sadly.
"Why?" Troy asked.
I could feel the tears coming as I sighed. "It's too hard,"
Troy nodded. "I know it is but we have a home, Sienna needs her room."
"We're not going home," I said.
Troy sighed, nodding his head. "So we're just going to live here?"
I didn't say anything … Troy just stormed out of the house and I broke down in tears. It was only a few hours later that Troy had come back but I had packed his stuff and put them on the doorstep.
"Brie?" Troy said.
"I think you should go." I replied.
"Go where?" Troy asked.
"Home or to your parents, I don't know but not here." I answered.
"Please Brie," Troy begged, putting his arms around me.
But I pushed him away, shaking my head. "No Troy, I can't do this anymore."
With that I closed the door and just broke down in tears as I watched Troy take his stuff and drive away.
It used to be a happy place but it's been 6 months since I came out of the hospital, heartbroken and empty … It's been 6 months since I let Troy be near me. As I got out of the car and slowly walked up the path … I looked at the Light blue door with the number 14 on it.
I remember the first time, we walked through the door with the state agent … We were young and just got married, we wanted a home straight away and we wanted to waste no time, we had been so happy.
4 years ago
Troy had knocked on my mom's door with 12 roses and a smile on his face.
I giggled. "Hello my husband."
He kissed me on the lips. "Are you ready?"
"Ready?"
Troy sighed. "Don't tell me you've forgotten?"
I laughed. "I haven't but let me put these in water and then I'll be ready." I said.
My mom smiled at me and took the roses. "Go, I'll sort these out."
I smiled and took Troy's hand … He had blindfolded me and I just giggled at him. "Why am I being blindfolded?" I asked.
"It's a surprise!" He answered, happily. "You trust me?"
"Of course I do," I said, laughing. "But I like to be able to see where I'm going and where I'm walking,"
"Don't worry, I will help you" Troy whispered, kissing my lips.
I was curious but I put all my trust in him … Obviously once we got there, he helped me out of the car and walked me up the path but before he removed the blindfold, he spoke to me.
"Now I promised you everything when I married you so here it is," He said as he removed the blindfold.
I was slightly confused when I saw the light blue door with the number 14 on it … I folded my arms and looked at Troy. "What are we doing here?" I asked.
"This is our home," He answered, putting his arms around me and showing the keys.
I gasped. "Really?"
"Yup,"
"OH MY GOD!" I screamed, hugging Troy and kissing him on the lips.
"Shall we go in?" Troy asked.
"YES!"
I took the keys of Troy and opened the door with him … It was huge when I walked in, I just walked around the house, it had a big kitchen, dining room and living room, the garden wasn't overly big but it was manageable and we could still do a lot with it.
I walked upstairs and it had 4 bedrooms, the master room had a bathroom with it and then there was another bathroom and then there were more stairs, I looked at Troy.
"What's up there?" I asked.
Troy grinned. "I believe it's the 5th bedroom unless you want it for storage." Troy answered.
I smiled and walked up the stairs … It was big enough to be a bedroom and it had a bathroom. "I want this room for us." I said, excitedly … kissing Troy lips.
"What if we have kids?" Troy questioned. "Leaving them downstairs."
"Hmm, I suppose this could be the guest room." I said.
Troy hugged me. "Can be our bedroom until the kids come along."
I chuckled and kissed Troy's lips. "I love you."
"I love you." Troy whispered.
I opened my eyes again and I was still standing here … I looked at the keys I held in my hand, I didn't really know if I'm ready to walk in but I know one day I'll have to … I took a deep breath in and out but before I could open it, I felt another hand on mine … I turned my head to meet his blue eyes.
"Troy?"
Troy smiled weakly.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
Troy sighed. "Not too sure, I went to your mom's and she said you were out so I drove around … I came here last and I saw your car." Troy answered.
I nodded. "You haven't been living here?"
Troy shook his head. "I haven't stepped foot in there since I got yours, mine and Sienna clothes out."
That made me feel sad as I know I'm not the only one that's hurting, he is too. "Where's Sienna?"
Troy chuckled. "She's with my mom and dad."
I nodded and let a relieve sigh out.
There was silence for a few minutes before I spoke again. "Shall we go in?"
"I'll go in whenever you're ready." He said.
I nodded, I put the key in the door and opened it … I slowly walked inside and turned the light on, I walked further into the house … It looked clean and tidy like I left it before I had my accident on the stairs … I turned around to look at Troy.
"It's not changed." I responded.
Troy looked around and smiled before looking back at me. "Why would it? Taylor has been coming here and cleaning it once a week," Troy said.
"Really?"
He nodded. "Not really sure why,"
I chuckled. "I know why."
There was that silent minutes between us as we took in the house … Troy spoke. "Drink?"
"Yeah why not." I answered.
We headed into the kitchen, Troy got the bottle of wine out of the fridge that hadn't been opened and got two glasses out … We sat at the table as Troy poured the wine, it almost felt like our first night in the house again, we had been tired but we had been out shopping and getting stuff for the house and deliveries were coming.
We had ordered pizza and shared a bottle of wine together … I smiled at the memory as I remember making love with him on the kitchen table.
"You okay?" Troy asked.
I looked at him and nodded. "Yeah just remembered what we did here on our first night,"
Troy chuckled, nodding his head. "Crazy day we had,"
I looked at the glass of wine. "We have many crazy days." I spoke.
"But we have many happy ones too." Troy added.
I smiled. "Do you remember bringing Sienna home?"
Troy laughed, shaking his head. "We were still alive, I'm sure."
I laughed. "We were but she cried,"
Troy nodded. "She cried until I held her."
"Daddy's girl." I said, smiling.
It went quiet for a bit as we drank our wine, I looked at my wedding rings on my fingers before looking at Troy's … He was still wearing his ring, he obviously could read me like a book.
"I'm not taking it off," Troy said.
I looked at him with tears coming down my cheeks. "Oh Troy," I let out.
"You only have to say the words Brie and I'm there." Troy whispered, holding my hands.
I crashed my lips against his, wrapping my arms around him … I passionately kissed him for a good few minutes before breaking for air and I looked at him but we didn't say anything.
He just stood up and took my hand upstairs … I just kept my eyes on his, before I knew it we were standing in the bedroom.
He hungered his lips on me, pushing me towards the bed … I started to undo his shirt and pushed it off him, letting it fall to the floor. I then started working on his trousers as our lips met again.
It soon broke as he got rid of my top and unclasped my bra, pushed my skirt, tights and knickers down … I undid his trousers and pushed them down with his boxers before hungrily meeting his lips again, he moved down to kiss my neck and started massaging my breasts.
"Oh god" I let out.
I could feel him, grinning against my neck before pushing me onto the bed … He got on top of me and started kissing me again before making his way down to my vagina, he let his tongue slip inside me … I let my fingers run through his hair as I moaned,
"Oh fuck!" I moaned as he got deeper. "Fuck, fuck, I need you"
He made his way back up to me but I pushed him off and climbed on top of him and grinned as I kissed his lips before making my way down to his hard cock … I grabbed it with my hands to massage it before letting it in my mouth, He moaned as he grabbed my hair, pulling it tight, I continued to suck him and got faster.
"Shit!" He panted, "I'm gonna cum"
I stopped and made my way back up to his lips; he flipped us over so he was on top and thrust into me, we both groaned, he picked up the pace and got faster and harder.
"Fuck" I moaned, breathlessly.
He chuckled as he continued to go in and out of me. "I'm gonna cum"
"Troy-y" I let out.
Troy looked at me as he filled me and kissed me softly on the lips before slowly pulling out of me and lying next to me … I just lay there, staring at the ceiling I could my eyes filling … I turned my head to look at Troy who smiled at me.
"Hold me Troy," I whispered.
He did what I asked and held me close to him … We had fallen asleep here because the next day, I woke up and the sun was shining through the blind, Troy was still sleeping next to me and I smiled … I got closer to him and I felt him put his arms around me again and kiss me on the forehead.
When we were awake and getting ready … I had gone downstairs to find Troy had made us two black coffee's and I smiled.
"Thanks," I said as I took the cup from him and sat down … I could tell Troy was holding back, he wanted to talk. "What is it Troy?"
Troy looked at me. "Was this goodbye or?"
"It's never goodbye, I still love you and I still want you to take care of me and Sienna but…" I went quiet but Troy finished me off.
"It wasn't your fault Brie." Troy said.
I nodded, trying not to let the tears fall … Troy took my hands and made me look at him. "I will always be here to take care of you and Sienna and I will always be here to love you both … I told you, you only have to say the words and I will be there." Troy finished.
"I need you Troy but I just don't know how.."
Troy kissed my lips. "We'll get through this, we always do."
I nodded.
5 YEARS LATER…
"Sienna," I called from the bottom of the stairs.
I heard her feet moving around and she came down the stairs. "I'm coming mom," She said.
I chuckled as she left and got into the car with her brothers … I got my bag and keys, closing the door. I turned to look at the blue door and smiled as I felt his arms around me.
"Ready?" Troy whispered.
I nodded, kissing his lips.
I looked at my family, Troy, Sienna, Harvey and Oliver … I smiled.
It could have been four children but as I had that accident 5 years ago … We lost our second child, I was ready to let him go and for it to just be Sienna but my love for Troy … I wasn't ready to let go and we made it work.
The End.
