Dance and Basketball

Chapter 19: Dealing

I'm in my school library and I'm working during lunch for you guys! You owe me sooo big!!! Multi-tasking isn't easy when your eating!!!!

Gabriella woke up to the sound of crying. Time to be a mommy, Gabriella thought. She picked up Isabella and Zachary and carefully carried them down the stairs. She set them in high chairs as she made bottles. She grabbed the formula. How can Troy be asleep? Can't he hear them, and that I need his help? Gabriella thought. She picked up the kids and fed them their bottles as Troy trudged down the stairs.

"Morning," he mumbled.

"Morning? I feel like it's already noon!" Gabriella said.

"Really? They that demanding?" Troy asked.

"You think? Come over and help me, please." Gabriella responded. Troy took Zachary and fed him while rocking him. Gabriella burped Isabella and got out some clothes for them. She put Isabella in a pair of blue jeans with pink shirt that said, "Daddy's Little Girl!", and she put Zachary on a tee shirt that read, "Mummy's Favorite Boy," with a pair of black jeans.

"So, what are we going to do?" Troy asked as he set Zachary in his lap.

"I dunno… the park?" Gabriella asked.

"Sure, let them get some fresh air…" Troy replied.

"Yep, but look at us Troy," Gabriella said as she gestured to him. They were still in pajamas.

"Right, clothes… I knew that." Troy said.

"Then why did you start putting your shoes on?" Gabriella questioned.

"I dunno, maybe I wanted a head start."

"You cant put pants on when your wearing shoes Troy."

"How do you know?"

"Then go do it, I'll watch you, let's bring them up." Gabriella said. Gabriella put on some skinny jeans with a turquoise tank top. She laughed at Troy as he struggled to get his pants on. When they got in the car, Gabriella heard her and Troy's song… What Hurts The Most, by Cascada…

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house, that don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I'm not afraid to cry
Every once in a while even though goin on with you gone still upsets me
There are days
Every now and again i pretend i'm okay but that's not what gets me

What hurts the most, was being so close
And having so much to say
And watchin you walk away
Never knowing, what could have been
And not seein that lovin you
Is what i was tryin to do

It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere i go
But i'm doin it
It's hard to force that smile when i see our old friends and i'm alone
Still harder gettin up, gettin dressed, livin with this regret
But i know if i could do it over
I would trade, give away all the words that i saved in my heart that i left unspoken

What hurts the most, is being so close
And having so much to say
And watchin you walk away
Never knowing, what could have been
And not seein that lovin you
Is what i was tryin to do

What hurts the most, was being so close
And having so much to say
And watchin you walk away
And never knowing, what could have been
And not seein that lovin you
Is what i was tryin to do

(I know I promised I'd be slowing down on songs, but this is a great song!!!)

"What hurts the most, is being so close, And having so much to say… watching you walk away… and never knowing,… what could have been… and not seeing that loving you… is what I was trying to do…" Gabriella sang as she repeated the lyrics.

"You still got it Gabs." Troy said, and caused Gabriella to laugh.

"I know…" She replied, kissing him on the cheek. She flipped another song on as See You Again, by Miley Cyrus played…

I've got my sight set on you,
And I'm ready to aim,
I have a heart that will,
Never be tamed,
I knew you were something special
When you spoke my name,
Now, I can't wait to see you again

I've got a way of knowing,
When something is right,
I feel like I must have known you,
In another life,
Cause I felt this deep connection,
When you looked in my eyes,
And I can't wait to see you again,

The last time I freaked out,
I just kept looking down,
I st-st-stuttered when
You asked me what I'm thinkin' bout
Felt like I couldn't breathe
You asked whats wrong with me
My best friend Lesli said
"Oh she's just being Miley"

The next time we hang out,
I will redeem myself
My heart it can rest till then,
Whoa whoa I,
I can't wait to see you again,

I got this crazy feeling
Deep inside
when you called and ask to see me
Tomorrow night,
I'm not a mind reader,
But I'm reading the signs
That you can't wait to see me again

The last time I freaked out,
I just kept looking down,
I st-st-stuttered when
You asked me what I'm thinkin' bout
Felt like I couldn't breath
You asked what's wrong with me
My best friend Lesli said
"Oh she's just being Miley"

The next time we hang out,
I will redeem myself
My heart can rest till then,
Whoa whoa I,
I can't wait to see you again,

I've got my sight set on you,
And I'm ready to aim,

The next time we hang out,
I will redeem myself
My heart can rest till then,
Whoa whoa I,
I can't wait to see you again,
Whoa whoa I,
I can't wait to see you again

"Wow, that was a good song! You sang it awesomely!" Troy yelled as they pulled into the park. They took the kids out and set them in the baby swings. Isabella absolutely loved being pushed. Zachary was fascinated by the birds flying by.

"Look at Zachary Troy, he must like birds…" Gabriella said giggling. Zachary tried to get out of the swing and chase the birds, but he had no success.

"They are having so much fun, and they are falling asleep. Let's go home…" Troy mused.

"Mkay, come on Isabella and Zachary, we're going home to take a nap." Gabriella said, picking them both up.
