Chapter 19;
After the storm there's another storm
Gabriella was in her grandmother's house for 4 days now and would be going back home in only a day. She had been enjoying her time with Mae so much, but even though she didn't want to assume, she had been missing Troy a lot. Gabriella would constantly dream about him and in her dream, they were together again and really happy. Every night she would wake up in the same part of the dream, before Troy and her could kiss, because Louise would always show up and Troy would tell Gabby he preferred Louise and that Gabriella was not worth his love. The four days she was there, she woke up crying and she still had tears in her eyes as she slept again.
Thankfully, Peter was a really great guy, and she was enjoying her holiday fling as her grandmother used to say. He wasn't like Troy, he was blond and had green eyes, not as tall as Troy, but still tall considering Gabriella was really petite. Pete was really cute and sweet, just like the old Troy. But as much as he tried to make her happy the time she was there with him, he was not Troy. Gabriella's Boo was way too perfect to be compared to other boys. At least, he was way too perfect a time ago…
Peter knocked on the guest's room door, "Brie, you're ready?"
Gabriella opened the door, "Yes," she smiled, "You're early, mister"
Peter looked her upside down, "You look gorgeous," he pecked her on the lips and grabbed her hand taking her downstairs, "I was missing you already. Had to come early, hope you don't mind"
She giggled, "Not at all"
Mae was watching TV in the living room and looked at the two teenagers when they stepped in the room. "You guys look really good" she said smiling, "But Pete, make sure you bring her back at 12AM. She has a flight back home in the morning"
Peter nodded, "I promise, Mae" he kissed her forehead and said bye, Gabriella did the same, "We're just going to the movies, I'll be back in a few hours"
Mae smiled, "Have fun"
They stepped out of the house and onto the windy weather. Tonight was really cold and Gabriella rubbed her arms up and down to warm herself. Peter grabbed his car keys and opened the door of his Toyota Corolla to her. Gabriella gently kissed his cheek and got in. The seconds Peter took to get in the car as well were enough to take Gabriella back to the day she left to come to Texas. She bit her lower lip as she remembered Troy parking his new black Ford Shelby GT in the driveway, only in his training shorts and sneakers. They shared a look and Troy passed through her without even say goodbye to her.
Gabriella sighed, she missed the old days when they were the best of friends, but more than ever, Gabby missed Troy as a man, her man.
"I'm gonna miss your perfume in my car when you leave" Pete said, laughing but Gabriella didn't seem into the conversation, "You okay, Brie?"
She snapped out of her thoughts and fake smiled, "Just hungry"
"We can eat and then go to the movies" he grabbed her hand and gently kissed her fingers, "What do you think?"
"Fine with me"
Peter drove them to the restaurant in silence, just the radio on, playing one of Troy's favorite songs. Gabriella closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Great, even though he was treating her so bad she couldn't help but want him on her side again. Gabby was so crazy in love with Troy she was even considering asking him for a second chance, it didn't matter if he liked Louise, Gabriella could make him fall in love with her – she needed to make him love her again.
"I love this song" Peter said as he parked in front of the restaurant, "Do you like it?"
Gabriella nodded slowly – she liked everything Troy liked, "Yeah"
"And if you give me a chance, believe that I can change, I'll keep us together" Peter sang out loud, "whatever it takes" he laughed, "Nice song"
He got out of the car and Gabriella prayed in silence she could forget Troy at least tonight. She really wanted to have fun with Peter and treat him the way he deserved. He opened the car's door to her and she stepped out, accepting when he grabbed her hand and lead her to the interior of the place they were going to eat. He ordered them the drinks and as soon as the waitress walked away she stood up,
"I need to wash my hands" she said, "If my mom calls me, can you please tell her to call back?"
He nodded, "sure, honey"
Peter drank a sip of his soda and tapped his fingers calmly on the table. The waitress got back and he ordered Gabriella the best food in the place, he wanted her to remember him as a really good holiday fling. He smiled to himself as he touched his lips that Gabriella had kissed before they left Mae's house. She was really different from all the other girls he knew.
"If only she lived here" he said more to himself than to anymore, but he quickly shook his head. Gabriella liked someone else; she had told him the day she got there. Peter got lost in his thoughts and almost jumped out of his chair when Gabriella's cell phone started ringing.
"Jesus" he laughed at his own clumsy and grabbed her phone on the table, "Hello?"
"Uhm, hi? Is that Gabriella's phone?"
Peter nodded even though the person couldn't see it, "Yeah, this is Peter speaking"
"Peter who?!"
"Hmm" he said, thinking of what he was at the moment, "Gabriella's boyfriend?"
The person then hung up and Peter got completely confused. When Gabriella came back to their table, she was decided to forget Troy that night, so before Pete could say anything about the phone call, she sat beside him and pulling him by the shirt, kissed him a mind blowing kiss, making impossible to Peter to remember his own name.
; Back in Albuquerque
"So, did you talk to her?" Troy asked, sitting back on the couch with a bowl of popcorn, "Dude?"
Chad nodded, "It was weird, man"
Troy gave him an annoyed look, "Why? I just told you to ask if she was okay"
"Yeah, I didn't talk to her" he admitted, eating Troy's popcorn, "It was weird, that's all I can say"
Troy rested his head on the couch and sighed, "Can't you do anything right, man?"
"Dude, shut up" Chad said, slapping him in the arm, "It was someone named Peter on the phone, man. He said he is Gabby's boyfriend" he took a sip of his drink and ignoring Troy's face added, "I had no idea Gabby was dating someone in Texas"
"Me neither" Troy whispered to himself, "Fuck"
Chad nodded, "Yup, I don't get it too" he grabbed the bowl of popcorn from Troy's hands, "Anyways, she'll be here tomorrow, so you can ask her in person if she's dating the Peter dude"
"You're so fucking stupid when you want" Troy snapped rudely and stood up, "We don't talk to each other anymore"
"Man, you're fucking crazy" Chad told him, shaking his head, "I mean, this is your entire fault, you could have asked her to be your girlfriend, but what did you do? You asked the wrong chick out"
Troy walked out of the house and into the backyard, the cold wind making his body shake with cold and anger. He grabbed his ball and started shooting baskets to let go of his anger. That's what Troy would always do when he was feeling in the edge of reason.
"Ugh" he moaned frustrated and threw the ball in the pool, "Shit"
"Dude" Chad said from the porch, "Calm down, you can still talk to her when she gets back"
"She isn't the girl I fell in love with anymore, Chad" Troy walked to him and sat on the porch steps, "My Ella would never date two guys at the same time" he sighed, "Fuck, I like her so much and she is a slut"
"She isn't, she's just young, dude" Chad defended her, "Gabby's still really cool for me and if I wasn't in love with Taylor I would definitely go for her" he joked but his smirk disappeared as soon as he saw Troy's expression, "dude, I'm joking here, where's the sense of humor?"
Troy ignored his comment, "Shit, we were doing so well, I don't know why she had to screw everything up"
Chad rolled his eyes. He was tired of all this bullshit. He tried the whole holiday to convince Troy to talk to Gabriella, to know why she was dating Jason, but he was just impossible to convince.
He tapped Troy's shoulder, "I need to go home. You're staying here tomorrow?"
"Nah, I'll go to Louise's"
"What about Gabby? You can't leave her alone"
Troy rolled his eyes, "I don't give a fuck about Gabby, she can call Jason or who else she wants. I just don't want to be near her anymore"
"Hoops" Chad began with a disapproving tone, "Just don't do something you might regret later"
Troy lay down on the porch and closed his eyes, "Shut the door when you leave"
Chad sighed, "Whatever" he walked to the door, "I'll see you next year"
"Whatever"
; Next Day
Gabriella slammed the door hard and put her suitcases on the floor, "Troooy" she looked for him in the kitchen and the living room but she couldn't find him. She heard a sound coming from the TV room and walked there, to find Troy still sleeping.
"Troy, wake up!" she yelled on his ear and he jumped up scared, rubbing his sleepy eyes and sitting down, "Wow, where's the fire?"
She threw him the TV controller, "thanks so much for picking me up at the airport, idiot"
He yawned, not really minding the controller hit him on his leg, "I forgot"
"I had to pay a taxi all the way here!" she exploded, "Do you know how expensive it is?"
Troy stretched up, not in the mood to hear Gabriella right now, "I don't care, it's not my money" he said and stood up, "Save the drama, you sound like Sharpay"
Gabriella shook her head, "I don't now where the hell is the Troy I used to know, but I miss him" she admitted, her voice cracking as she tried to hold her tears, "Very much"
Troy shrugged his shoulders, feeling the need to keep hurting her, "I'm not asking you to like me the way I am now"
"Yeah" she whispered to him, "I was such an idiot, I really believed everything you said"
They shared a gaze and for a minute Troy got lost in her big brown eyes that seemed so sad. He looked her upside down, not even her yellow little dress was lighting her up and Gabriella seemed to be in such pain. 'Fucking actress' he told himself, "Yea, really stupid Ella" he finally said, ignoring the tear that rolled down her cheek.
She wiped her tear quickly, "don't ever call me Ella again"
"As you wish" he said and walked out of the TV room, Gabriella followed him in silence and grabbed her suitcases from the floor. Troy kept watching as she tried to climb up the stairs with the heavy suitcases but didn't move to help her, instead of it he lay on the couch and turned on the living room TV, changing the channels without much interest. During lunch they ordered a pizza and ate in silence, Gabriella too hurt to try to talk to him again and Troy feeling too betrayed to pay attention on her. After eating she locked herself again in her room with Daisy, at least the dog seemed to really love her.
Gabriella stared at her ceiling for more than hour, deciding if she should forget about her pride and ask Troy for a second chance. She hated when he was rude with her, but most of the time she kept thinking about him and wanting him in her life again. Troy was her man and Gabriella was gonna get him back, whether he wanted or not. She slowly opened her door and stepped into the hall, looking for Troy is his room; she heard the TV upstairs and walked to the stairs, stopping on the first step down as her attention moved to Troy. He was sitting on the couch, dressed only in his jeans, and in one hand he was holding the TV controller and the other, Troy was stroking his thighs outside his pants.
Gabriella heard moans coming from the TV and her heart raced fast when she realized Troy was watching porn. Decided not to interrupt him, she sat on the first step of the stairs, her hands falling between her knees as she stared hypnotized at him. Troy unbuttoned his jeans and pulled his pants down a bit, his big hand finding a way to get inside his pants and touch his member. Gabriella's shaky hand covered her mouth as her breath became heavy and she could feel herself growing wet. Her eyes followed Troy's movement as he turned the TV off and pulled his pants down to his ankles to expose his hard penis.
"Oh god" she whispered and before she knew it, her hand was inside her panties and she was touching herself. Gabriella licked her lip as Troy stroked his member gently, his eyes closed and his chest going up and down as he breathed in ecstasy.
Gabriella closed her eyes too, spreading her legs a little more, her index finger rubbing her clit as she imagined it was Troy's hand, mouth and penis on her.
Troy took a deep breath as his head tilted back resting on the couch. His eyes were hard closed as a vision of a naked Gabriella was showing inside his mind like a movie, opening her legs and inviting him to get inside her warmth. He stroked his member furiously, his muscular arm working up really fast. He was so close to cum but he wanted to wait for her, at least in his imagination they were happy, there was no Jason or Peter and Gabby would tell him all the time that he was the man of her dreams. He heard someone moaning urgently and opened his eyes scared, searching around for the noise. As he looked up to the second floor of the house, he saw Gabriella sitting on the top of the stairs, masturbating as well. Troy smirked and pulled up his jeans, the tip of his full erect member still free as he didn't unbutton his pants. Troy quietly made his way upstairs, his body aching with desire as he got closer to her, sweat rolling down his chest and onto his member. Troy licked his lower lip as he got on top of the stairs and gazed Gabriella. Her legs were spread apart more than ever, her yellow dress pulled up till the lower part of her stomach could be seen, her cheeks red with pleasure.
"Having fun?" he asked with his husky voice and Gabriella opened her eyes quickly, "Tr-Troy…I—"
"Shh" He interrupted her and sat on her side, unbuttoning a few buttons of her dress and revealing one of her breasts. Gabriella groaned as his hot tongue stroked her hard nipple and his hand rested on top of the one that was still on her vagina. Her body shook wildly at only the fact Troy's hand was so close to her body again. Troy moved her hand aside and introduced a finger inside her warmth.
"Ohh my god" Gabriella moaned with pleasure as he sucked her nipples and penetrated her with his finger, "Oh Troy" she threw her head back as he rubbed her clit with his thumb as his finger got in and out of her vagina.
Gabriella could feel her liquid ran down her tights as he pumped her faster with his index finger. Troy licked her neck and sucked behind her ear on Gabriella's weak spot. It didn't take long for him to feel her walls tighten up around his finger and her body shake furiously.
She sighed in relief as her body relaxed and her breath became lightly again. His wet fingertips rubbed her stomach lazily as he sucked her earlobe, "Do you like it, huh?" he asked her, grabbing one of her hands and putting on his hard member, "Touch me"
The girl nodded slowly and stroked the tip of his penis, helping Troy to pull his jeans down to have a better view of his member. "Kiss me" he ordered to her and as her lips brushed his after so much time, Gabriella felt like crying. Finally everything seemed to be normal again and they were having a nice time together. Troy moved his tongue with hers as she kept stroking his member with her cold and small hands. When her index finger rubbed circles around the swollen tip of his penis, Troy felt like he was going to explode anytime now. He pulled away from her and Gabriella's mouth found her way to his neck, sucking his skin so hard he even felt pain, "ohhh, you feel so good baby" she whispered on his ear and he felt his stomach tied in knots at the sound of baby coming from her perfect lips again.
He took Gabriella's hand off his penis and pushed her back till she was lying on the floor. Troy spread her legs again, pulling her panties to the side and positioned his penis in the entrance of her vagina, moaning louder as he got inside of her.
"Gosh, you're so fucking tight" he whispered on her ear as he started to thrust inside her harder. Gabriella screamed on his shoulder as she felt a mix of pain and pleasure. She felt Troy's member growing bigger inside her and she began to push her hips against his to meet his every thrust. Troy's whole body shivered as her hands dragged on his back and butt, slowly but yet rough, making him speed up.
"I need more Troy, please" she whimpered as he put his face in her neck, sucking the skin as he pushed into her again with more force.
"Tell me you love me" he ordered her, his hot breath on her neck making her feel dizzy, "Say 'I love you Wildcat'… say it"
Gabriella wrapped her legs around his waist and pulled his back hair, moaning with pleasure. "Say it, please Ella" he commanded urgently, almost sickly sweet and she nodded, licking her lower lip as he thrust into her faster and harder.
"I love you Wildcat… so much" she whispered to him and he smirked before capturing her lips on his and kissing her hungrily. Gabriella's eyes got teary as her emotions were trying to settle down inside her, but ignoring the tears that were now rolling down her cheeks she kissed him back with the same passion.
"Oh Ella" he felt her tightening against him, her walls contracting as he got in and out her over and over – deeper, harder, faster… He released his liquid inside her before collapsing on top of her, his head still buried on her neck and their bodies still connected. Gabriella stroked his hair in silence, waiting till her body could calm down. He looked in her eyes for a whole minute and she could swear he gave her a tiny and weak smile. Troy opened his mouth to say something and Gabriella could swear he was going to say "I love you", but what she heard was worse than a cold midnight shower.
"Am I better than the Peter dude?" Troy asked, his voice sounding so cold that Gabriella felt her heart break into pieces, "Am I better than him?"
She couldn't help and tears rolled down her cheeks again and she started sobbing as she tried to pull him away from her, "Get out" she whimpered, "don't ever touch me again"
He studied her expression as she found strength to push him out of her and ran to her room. Gabriella was really crying? Was Peter that good? Was him that bad? Troy pulled his jeans up and walked to her room, trying to get inside. He felt uncomfortable with Daisy's gaze on him and gave the dog an annoyed look, "I know I screwed up this time, I know" he ran his hand through his hair and knocked on her door, "Gabriella, open up" Troy asked, feeling the need to be with her now, "Ella?"
"Leave me alone" she yelled from inside, but a minute later he heard her weak voice, "I hate you so" she sobbed, "much"
"I'm sorry" he whispered, resting his forehead against her door and regretting what he just said, "Gabriella?" he tried again, knocking harder, "Please, open up"
"Damn it, leave me alone Troy. Peter is way better than you, that's what you want to hear?" Gabriella's sobs could be heard very well now, "Now get the fuck away from here… Please"
Troy shook his head, 'stupid bitch' he cursed her to himself. "Fuck you" he yelled slamming her door one more time before getting in the bathroom and shutting the door. A few hours later when Gabriella felt hungry, she walked back downstairs but Troy wasn't home anymore. She stayed all day alone and the night too. When it was around midnight, she called Taylor to wish her happy new year.
"What you're doing girl?"
"I'm home alone, sitting on the porch with Daisy and you?"
Gabriella heard Chad's laugh, "Chad and I are just chilling here, you wanna join us?"
She laughed, "Nah, I don't wanna be a third wheel"
"You're not, you know, but where's Troy?"
Gabby bit the corner of her lips, "I have no idea"
"Troy's with Louise" she heard Chad saying. "Ouch, Tay" he whined and Gabriella imagined Taylor slapped him somewhere.
"Hey Tay, my home phone is ringing," she lied, "I need to go"
"Alright, call me if you need anything"
Gabby smiled to herself, "Ok, thanks"
"Happy new year, Ells. Love ya!"
"Me too"
She hung up the phone and looked at Daisy. She sighed, "Great new year, huh?" Daisy barked happily and Gabriella smiled at the dog, "Wanna go for a walk Daise?"
The dog waggled her tail excited, "Ok," Gabby stood up, "Let's go"
; An hour later
"Are you sure you need to go?" Louise caressed Troy's chest and he nodded, "Yea"
"Why? We were just starting to have fun" she kissed his neck, "We could use the time to do more interesting things"
Troy jumped out of the couch, "Gabby is home alone" he said, "If my father calls home and she says I'm not there I'm screwed" he lied, admitting he wanted to be with Gabriella right now would just create a big drama between them.
Louise rolled her eyes, "Gabriella is a big girl already, she can be home alone" she stood up and hugged Troy, "and maybe she isn't even home"
Troy pulled away from her, already annoyed by her insinuations, "Where would she be? She has no place to go"
"To a guy's house" Louise smirked, "Maybe she's having fun with someone else, like Jason, you told me she's dating him huh?" she stroked his cheek, "Stay here, Troy"
He stepped back and shook his head, "Don't talk shit about her" he snapped rudely, "You don't know her. Gabriella is not like this"
'Well actually she is' he thought to himself, but who Louise was thinking she was to talk shit about Gabriella? Even though he hated her right now, Troy would never hear someone saying bad things about Ella in silence. He grabbed his car keys, ignoring her annoyed face, "I'll see you later"
"Where's my kiss?" Louise asked with her high voice, playing with a curl, "mm Troysie?" Troy pecked her on the cheek and walked out of her house and into his car, without looking back.
The park was empty except for Gabriella and Daisy. Gabby was sitten on the grass and Daisy sniffling flowers and peeing everywhere she wanted. "Don't go too far, Daise" she yelled to her as she ran frenetically making her stop and run back to Gabriella to lick her hand, "You're enjoying it right?" she asked with a sweet smile on her face. Daisy started to run again, and Gabriella looked up to the sky. The moon was full and shiny and she could see starts everywhere. Even though it was really cold at night, Albuquerque would always start the day with sun and that's what she loved the most about the place she lived.
"It's gonna be sunny today" she heard a voice and turned around to see Troy standing right behind her, looking up as well. Gabriella sighed and shook her head slowly, "What you doing here?" she shot but he took more than a minute to look at her and reply,
"I was driving home and saw Daisy" he said stuffing his hands in his pockets to warm himself, Gabriella turned away and stared at her dog again, "Who's the stalker now" she whispered sarcastically, "Go home, Troy"
He ignored her, "Can I sit with you?"
"No"
Gabriella and Troy's bodies shuddered when their shoulders touched lightly as he sat on her side, but they simply ignored the feeling. Gabriella was too mad at him for the things he did to her and Troy was just too jealous to admit being nice to her again.
"I'm sitting anyways"
She sighed, "Do whatever you want Troy"
Daisy came running and lay in front of them with a tree branch in her mouth. Gabriella patted the dog's head slowly. "How was your new year?" Troy asked after a while in silence, "Good" she replied without looking at him.
"And at Mae's?"
"Good"
"You're glad to be home?" he insisted in making conversation but Gabriella shrugged her shoulders and didn't reply this time. "Aren't you cold?" he asked her and she simply shook her head, "I'm sorry I left you alone" Troy finally admitted, "I didn't want to"
Gabriella pierced him with her eyes and Troy felt a shockwave running down his spine, "Why you say you're sorry if you really aren't?"
"I am" he said sincerely. "I am"
She gave him a small smile, "I don't believe you"
Troy rolled his eyes, "Fine then"
Gabriella stood up, dusting off her skinny jeans, "You know what's funny?"
Troy looked up, "You always told me you were a jerk, but I really saw you as the most perfect person in the whole world," she began, "But now I think I see the real Troy"
He looked down and took a deep breath. Admitting he was jealous was the cleaver choice, but his pride would come first. He was feeling betrayed! Gabriella was dating him and Jason at the same time and then the Peter dude Chad talked about. How many other guys she had dated before or during her time with him? Maybe he wasn't even her first kiss as she said he was in London. But fuck, it was all in the past anyways, a new year was starting, maybe if Troy was true to his feelings they could be together now…
"Gabriella," he stood up and looked her in her eyes "I," he rubbed his neck nervously, "Look—"
She interrupted him, "I don't wanna hear it Troy"
Gabriella turned around and started walking back home. Troy pulled her by the arm, their faces a few inches apart now, his body shaking as he could smell her perfume again. He wrapped his arms around her waist, slowly bringing her closer to his body. She closed her eyes as she felt his cold fingertips touching the skin of her belly. Troy stroked her neck with his thumb before bringing his lips to her neck and dragging them down. She moaned softly as he sucked her delicate skin, grabbing with his free hand the skin of her stomach. Gabriella shook her head – she was not going to let him use her again. Not anymore, not this year.
"Leave me alone Troy" she pulled away from him, "I'll drive you home"
She shook her head, "I don't wanna go near your car, save it for your girlfriend"
Gabby walked away and Daisy followed her, "Oh you're jealous" he said without even noticing he was smirking, a burning sensation growing bigger inside him, "I should have imagined"
She looked back over at him, "you don't deserve it anymore"
The air filled with tension while they stared at each other's eyes almost breathless. Troy was almost sending his pride to hell and asking her for a second chance. All he wanted to do was lay her down on the soft grass, kiss her entire body and make love all night with her. They were brought to reality with Gabby's cell phone ringing. She looked down for a second and grabbed her phone from her pocket, looking at the screen and smiling,
"Hey," she greeted the person and Troy looked at her confused, "yeah, you too! Really? It wasn't necessary" she laughed and continued "Ok, I promise I will. Yeah, we really need it"
Troy rested his back against his car, holding Daisy by the dog collar. "Ok, I'll see you tomorrow, can't wait to see it" she smiled, "Happy New Year to you too Jase, bye" she hung up the phone and put it in her pocket again.
"Let's go Daisy, we're going home" she said softly to the dog, but as much as Daisy was trying to go after Gabriella, Troy didn't let her. Instead of it, he opened the door to his Ford GT and put Daisy inside it, "She's going with me" he said firmly, closing the door with lock.
"She's my dog, Troy!"
Troy shook his head in negation, "Our dog" he corrected her, "She belongs to me too"
"Can I have her back?" Gabriella asked softly, suddenly feeling afraid to be all by herself, "Daisy's keeping me company"
Troy shook his head, "If you want the dog, get inside the car" he told her again, slowly this time - like he was trying to teach a 4 year old to understand things.
"I already told you I won't get inside your stupid car" she said rudely but then tried to calm down again, "Please Troy, let me have her" she whined, starting to rub her arms up and down, "please"
"Nope" he said, "Come with me or go alone"
"Shit" Gabriella cursed loud, "I already told you I won't get near your fucking car"
"Alright" Troy said calmly before getting into the vehicle and driving off.
Gabriella gazed around her nervously, she was completely alone. She sighed trying to stay calm and took a few steps forward, thinking of a faster way to get home. Gabby could swear it was getting darker as she walked and the park was not silent anymore – the wind making the trees swing sounded like a horror movie.
"Well shit" she thought to herself as she looked around, examining all things around her. She didn't remember the park being so far from her house or was she too afraid to be alone in the middle of the night there? She became breathlessly and tried to stay calm again, but how? Her house seemed too far away now and she couldn't quite remember which way to go back. "Fuck" she exclaimed loud as fear made her body flinch.
Even though she was shaking, Gabriella knew the best solution would be getting home as faster as she could, so she just kept walking, feeling helpless. An engine noise that came right behind her made her jump. She tensed and didn't move at all, afraid of what was it. Gabby held her breath, telling herself everything would be okay and that she wasn't going to die, not today, not now.
She started running, as faster as her legs could handle, ignoring a honk that came from behind – what if it was someone dangerous? She was alone and even though Gabriella could scream louder, probably no one would hear her. She quickly looked back and saw a red BMW, "Shit, shit" she bit her lip as her legs failed to help her running faster than she was already running. The car speeded up and in a blink of an eye, was right beside her. Gabriella flinched, that was it. She was going to die, damn Troy. How could he been so mean and let her in the arms of the enemy? Gabriella watched as the dark window rolled down and an afro appeared, giving her a soft smile, "What's up Gabster"
"Oh shit" she muttered, placing her hand on her heart, "you scared the hell out of me, Chad"
He laughed, "Sorry, it was Tay's idea to surprise you" he smiled, "What are you doing here all by yourself? It's dangerous"
"Really?" she asked sarcastically as she hopped inside the backseat of the car, "Troy and I had an argument"
"Another one?" Taylor and Chad asked together, "You guys should just sleep together" Chad said, shaking his head, "This is all about the lack of sex"
"Chad Michael Danforth!" Taylor yelled at him, "You drank way too much, so just keep your mouth shut" she looked back at Gabriella, "Sorry Gabs, you already know how fucked up Chad is"
Gabriella laughed, nodding, "Yeah, I know" she accepted Chad's bottle, "But I do agree with you, even though Troy thinks Louise is better for him than me"
"See?" he tried to defend himself, "Troy is the one fucked up, not me"
Taylor started driving again and rolled her eyes, "Let's forget about Troy, tonight my girl is going party-e" she laughed and added, "I am so taking you to my house, we still have a few drinks there"
