Dance and Basketball
Chapter 20: Going Away For A While
Troy and Gabriella are off to a great start! Awesome right? Of course! I'm listening to What Hurts The Most by Cascada! One of my new favorite songs. The chorus reminds me of my old friend and I, we had a rough patch in our friendship really young, and we don't really talk anymore. This chapter is dedicated to my life a bit, about the rough patch… This is the last chapter too! Review if you want a sequel!!! You'd so want a sequel after this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
The rain in Albuquerque poured as the sunshine disappeared. Gabriella sat in her living room. She waited for Troy to walk in the door. Zachary and Isabella were already asleep. It was 11 in the night. He should've been home by now. She knew basketball practices ran a bit late sometimes, but not this late. She had not called him, she thought she would sound weird if she called him asking where he was. The fireplace was on. The house phone and her cell phone were on a coffee table next to her. Thunder struck outside as thunder rolled by. She was in her robe, as she had just taken a shower. Her phone rang. She eagerly picked it up. Telemarketer, great, no Troy… she heard a knock on the door. She raised slowly. She walked over to the door. Troy was finally home. She opened the door as he walked in and took off his coat.
"How was practice?"
"Fine, sorry it ran a bit late."
"A bit late? Troy, it ran late by two hours!"
"And your point is?"
"You could've called me."
"We had no breaks…"
"You're captain, you could've called one!"
"Why are you freaking out?"
"Because I was worried!"
"You didn't need to!" Troy yelled.
"Well, seeing as I'm your fiancé, I have the right to do so!"
"No you don't!"
"I can't believe you!"
"Excuse me?!?!?!?"
"I didn't stutter, did I?"
"You can't talk to me like that!"
"Oh, sorry, just did!"
"Shut up!"
"It's almost 12!"
"So?!?!?!?"
"So? What do you mean so?"
"I'm leaving, I was expecting a warm welcome home!"
"Fine!!!"
"Won't be seeing you!"
"Love you too, jackass!" Gabriella said as she stormed upstairs. She grabbed suitcases and started packing. She couldn't deal with this. The kids woke up and started to cry. She soothed them back to sleep and continued packing. She took out a pencil and paper. She scribbled the note…
Troy,
I can't deal with this anymore.
I'm leaving Albuquerque too live somewhere else.
I cant handle all this stress.
This is partly your fault, for being so careless.
I'm taking the kids.
When I think that you've calmed down, I'll come back.
I'll send you mail so we can at least keep in touch.
I'll miss you…
Gabriella…
She then placed her ring on top of the note. She had finished packing. She put everything in her car and started to drive. She turned the radio down as she popped in a CD, containing songs she recorded. She put on number 3…
I'm leaving you,
I can't trust you.
You say you love me,
I don't know if it's true.
You want me to stay with you,
And I just want to fly.
I can't deal with all the stress,
And it's too hard to say goodbye.
I'm departing for a new world,
One without you in it.
It's getting way to hard to breathe,
Way to hard to live.
With you…
I promised myself that if I left,
Even if it made me upset.
I'd come back to you…
This promise is gonna come true…
Making mistakes,
Coming at a loss.
Tripping down,
But I'll shake it off.
I'm not yours for now,
And I hope you know how,
To bring me back in…
I hope that this works,
I hope I don't get worse,
I know it really hurts,
I feel like I'm going to burst!
Leaving you,
It's getting me emotional.
I thought I knew it all,
Now I've lost control…
Oh… Oh…
When I left,
I was even upset…
Tears falling down my face,
Falling,
Falling in grace…
I promised myself that if I left,
Even if it made me upset.
I'd come back to you…
This promise is gonna come true…
Making mistakes,
Coming at a loss.
Tripping down,
But I'll shake it off.
I'm not yours for now,
And I hope you know how,
To bring me back in…
She cried silently as she went on route 66, leading to Sacramento. That was where she was going to go. Zachary and Isabella were still fast asleep. She was going to live in her car for the night, then get an apartment. She called Troy's phone, and he didn't answer. Probably still mad at me, probably making out with some other girl… Gabriella thought, No! You cant think like that Gabriella, he still loves you! But for now, you're just going away for a while, that's all… She took another look at her kids. They slept peacefully in their car seats. She started to cry again. Zachary and Isabella, the only connection between Troy and Gabriella for now…
