Chapter Nine
Pulling her shirt down and fixing her hair Kelsi sat up on the bed and crossed her feet under her. She glanced over shoulder and watched Troy do the same thing. Smiling to herself Kelsi let out a laugh and looked in Troy's eyes. "What?" He asked her and Kelsi shrugged her shoulders.
"I don't know Troy. It's just good having you here." Kelsi admitted and Troy nodded at her.
"Yeah it's the same with you." Troy told Kelsi and she nodded her head and remember her parents. She didn't know what she was going to do and how she was going to handle it. She just wanted it to be like it was.
"I don't know what to do about my parents." Kelsi mumbled and felt tears sting her eyes.
"I know Kelsi. I'm sorry. Just tell me what I can do." Troy told Kelsi and she shrugged her shoulders. Kelsi didn't know what anyone could do. It just felt like one big mess that was leaving Kelsi sad inside. She didn't know how to handle it.
"I don't know." She mumbled and Troy nodded his head.
"I know." He said and wrapped his arms around Kelsi in a hug and even though nothing was fix, Kelsi felt better.
Troy jumped slightly as cell phone rang and he reached into his pocket to answer it. He looked at the caller id and then glanced at Kelsi with a guilty expression on his face. "What?" Kelsi asked not getting the reason behind the face.
"I just forgot to tell you…" He said and Kelis nodded her head at the phone.
"Just answer it, how bad could it be?" Kelsi asked and Troy pushed the talk button and held the phone to his ear.
"Hey Gabriella." He stated and Kelsi looked over him, halfway stunned. Gabriella. Kelis hadn't really seen much of him since Troy had broken up with her. They had been the closest things to best friends, she couldn't believe that Gabriella would be talking to Troy and not her. And for the most part Kelsi couldn't believe that Troy was talking to Gabriella.
Troy had a quick conversation with Gabriella, mostly about general stuff and Kelsi let out a sigh as Troy hung up. "You're talking to her?" Kelsi asked Troy and he nodded his head. Kelsi didn't even know how to compute the information. She kind of missed Gabriella in the back of her mind, she loved having Troy as a boyfriend, but she hated not being able to have Gabriella as a friend, in any sense of the word.
"Yeah, sorry Kelsi. I meant to tell you…I just didn't know how to tell you." Troy tried to explain and KElsi shook her head.
"It's not the point Troy. It's all of it. What has she said about me?" Kelsi asked and Troy shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't want to go into detail about it Kelsi. It's nothing. We just talk like we did when we were friends." Troy promised and Kelsi nodded her head.
"I really don't know how to even deal with this." Kelsi admitted and Troy nodded his head in understandment.
"It's too much right now. I just need to think." Kelsi told Troy and he stood up off her bed.
"I'll see you tomorrow at school?" Troy asked and Kelsi nodded her head as Troy spun away from her. Watching Troy open her door and walk out Kelsi didn't know what she was going to do. With any of it, it was starting to build up on Kelsi she couldn't handle it. Sighign Kelsi leaned back onto her pillows and closed her eyes. Kelsi just wanted things to be simple again.
