Chad waited in the waiting room nervously moving in his seat. It had been forty minutes since the doctor checked him out.
"Dude, your acting like a girl. Calm down..." Troy said chuckling at his friends reaction to what's happening.
Chad turned to look at Troy. He gave him a look that said Are you stupid? Then he said "Man, I didn't know how serious this was until that doctor told me and showed me all of those pictures." He said trying to shake th image of him having something on his private area for the rest of his life.
"Well, I think your dumb ass deserves it." Troy said still calm about the situation. He was sure that Chad didn't have anything life threatening. He wasn't sure if Chad had anything at all. Knowing his buddy he was probably just imagining all of this up.
"Chad Danforth?" A nurse called from behind the counter. "The doctor will see you now."
And with those words Troy saw Chad do something that he never had done before. For the first time since they were two Troy saw Chad turn pitch white.
As Chad got up from his seat he could feel his heart drop to his feet. As he walked the long walk to the doctor's office he felt like he was walking to the electric chair.
While Troy waited for his friend to come back with the news his phone started to play the ring-tone that he knew and loved.
"You Make Me Better...You Make Me Better"
"I'm a movement by myself, but I'm a force when where together."
"Baby I'm good all by myself, but baby girl you make me better...you make me better...you make me better..."
He knew who it was before he even looked at the phone. "Hey, baby." He said with a smile on his face.
"Hey" Gabriella said weakly.
"What's wrong you sound like you've been crying?" Troy asked truly concerned.
"It's nothing." Gabriella said taking a breath. "Where are you?"
Troy paused at the question. He knew he wasn't supposed to say where he really was. If he told her that he was at the hospital he knew that Gabriella would immediately think there was something wrong with him.
"Hello?" Gabriella asked. "Troy? Are you still there?"
"Yeah, I'm at school." He lied. "I stayed after to talk to my dad. I'm on my way home now."
"Actually, I was wondering if you could meet me at your secret hide away?" Gabriella asked very skeptical about what she was saying.
"What?" He asked. He had no idea what Gabriella was talking about.
"You know the place you showed me when I first moved out here. You told me that's where you go to get away from it all."
"Right I remember." Troy had forgotten about that place. He was so busy now a days that he never had a moment to stop by there and think like he use to.
"Yeah, well I'll meet you up there." She said and hung up the phone.
Troy looked at his phone. Did she just hang up on me? He asked himself. He knew there was something wrong with her. The only time that Gabriella ever hung up on her was when she was mad, and she had to be really mad to hang up on him. She had only hung up on him twice and that was because she thought he had cheated on her.
Just then Chad came out of the room looking pale. Troy quickly stood up and went over to his friend. "Dude, what's up?" He asked.
"I have a sexually transmitted disease called chancroid." He said with no expression on his face.
"What is that?" Troy knew there were millions of sexually transmitted diseases out there, but he never heard of chancroid before.
"It's basically sores on your private area. I got it from one of those nasty bitches I've been sleeping around with." He said angrily.
"Is it treatable?" Troy asked scared for his friend.
"Yeah." Chad threw pills at Troy. "I have to take one of each of those everyday for a week, and I should be cured." He said walking toward the door.
"That's not bad." Troy said looking at the pills that Chad had thrown at him. "I mean it is, but it could have been worse." He said trying to be positive about the situation.
Chad turned around. "No, it's just really embarrassing. Do you know what happens when you have chancroid?" He asked in a whisper.
"No what?" He asked back in a whisper.
"You not only get cold sores on your private area, but the cold sores squirt some type of juice out of them that smells." He said turning up his nose.
"Ewww, what the hell." Troy yelled.
All of a sudden the whole waiting room area was staring at the two teenage boys.
Chad's face was all red. He didn't want everybody to know his business. He quickly turned and walked out of the doctors office.
Troy quickly followed after him. "Dude, I'm sorry." He said as they entered the parking lot. "I didn't mean to be so loud about it."
Chad didn't say anything else about it. He got into the passengers side of the car and kept quit for moist of the ride back to his house.
"Look, man I know you didn't mean to be so loud." He said about two blocks away from his house.
"I was just grossed out by what you said..." He tried to explain himself, but Chad put a finger in front of his face.
Chad grabbed his cell phone which was vibrating in his pocket. On his phone screen the name read: Keya
"Hello?" Chad said normally.
"Hey, Chad." Keya said seductively.
"What do you want with my life?" Chad asked.
"I want to tell you that I'm over here in my birthday suit, all by my self." She said very romantically.
Chad could imagine Keya on top of her bed in her birthday suit. Her dark chocolate skin laying on her red velvet sheets. Her long black hair swaying as she trays to make herself look sexy, but his mind was interrupted by a sudden burning sensation in his private area.
"Sorry, Keya, but I can't." He said trying not to let the pain be heard on the other end of the phone.
"What's the matter?"
"Look I'm just having some health issues right now..."
"What kind of health issues?"
Chad than remembered that Keya was one of the girls he had sex with in the past week. "Look, I have chancroid, which is a sexually transmitted disease."
Keya didn't say a word over the phone. She was dead silent.
"I think you should get checked out before you infect someone." Chad said very maturely.
"Chad." Keya said really low.
"I know your disappointed in me, and I should have never had sex with you if I thought that I did have a STD."
"Chad, I gave you the disease." She said really fast.
Chad stood there for a second. "Your the one that gave me the disease?" He asked upset.
"Yes, I guess I never told you this but I'm bi. I like to experience with both sexes. A girl named Joyan gave it to me and I just so happened to have given it to you, and a few other people. I know that I should have told you, but I was sure that it wasn't that bad."
"Are you kidding me?" Chad asked furious. "You didn't think it was that bad?" He screamed into the phone.
"Yeah, I mean I have had STD's before. Now I'm sort of a doctor when it comes to having them. I know whether or not they are bad or not." She said like what she was saying made any since. "I know the disease I had could just be cured with medicine. It's not like I gave you a life time disease."
Chad just hung up the phone. When he looked out the window he had noticed that he was in the drive-way to his house.
"What was that all about?" Troy asked when Chad finally hung up the phone.
"Nothing, I'm tired right now, and just need to go to bed. I have a really bad headache."
"I know the feeling dude. I mean I feel like that everyday." Troy put up his fist and started the car.
Chad pounded Troys fist with his fist, and then without a good-bye just left.
Troy walked up the stairs to what used to be the place he would sit and think at for hours. When he finally got up there he found Gabriella sitting there rubbing her stomach.
"Hey." Troy said softly and sat down next to her.
Gabriella turned around and watched as Troy sat next to her. She didn't say a word.
There was a long period of silence before Gabriella spoke.
"Remember the first time you brought me up here?" She asked still rubbing her stomach.
"Yeah, it feels like that was ages ago." Troy said smiling at that memory.
"Yeah, back when we had our whole lives ahead of us. Before I thought you cheated on me with Sharpay, before I found out I was pregnant, and before we found out that our whole lives would have to change."
"Gabriella why did you ask for me to come here?" He asked. "It's not like I don't like being here with you. It's just you've been acting weird ever since this morning when I got offered that scholarship."
"Troy I have something to tell you." Gabriella began.
Troy suddenly felt his heart drop to his feet. The last thing time he heard those words the sentence after that had turned his whole life upside down.
"I don't know how to tell you this, because I'm scared." As she said those words her body tensed up. She didn't want to tell him what she had done, but she knew she would soon have to.
"What is it?" Troy asked putting his hand on Gabriella's thigh. "Whatever it is we can work through it together." He said supportively.
When Troy said those words Gabriella burst into tears. She thought that she could hold them in long enough so she could tell him, but after what he had just said and done it was impossible.
Troy pulled Gabriella into a hug. "It's going to be alright. Every things going to be fine." He said and then kissed the top of Gabriella's head.
"Troy the baby might not be yours..." She said while crying into his chest.
End...
Hi, guys this is eemah. I have to say thank you so much for all these reviews. I never thought that I was that good of a writer, but you guys always say that I am. It makes me feel so good.
I also have to tell you guys that I made the girls JV basketball team. So everyday after school I have practice until six, and when I get home I have to do my homework. Then on weekends I have basketball practice, games, and work-outs. So I don't have as much time as I used to. So it might take me a while to write new chapters.
All my writing now has to be done at night and I am always tired and try really hard to stay up to finish chapters, just for you guys. As I am now.
I will try to make the next chapter as fast as I can. But, I have a very tight schedule and don't worry my mind is always on this story and what I'm going to write next, and what the babies name is going to be, and how Troy is going to react, and I'm already thinking about a sequel to this story...lol...
Anyway love the reviews, and I love all of you for reviewing. Anyway I'm rambling on and just want to say Thank You!
