Troy's Walls -- Chapter Five.
By bomchickawahwahx3
Thanks for the reviews on the last chapter! Here's chapter five --
It's official. Troy Bolton and I, Gabriella Montez, are officially an item. It didn't happen in the most romantic way, but that's not the point here. The only thing that matters is that it happened.
Troy is making me dinner tonight and I am sitting in my room grinning like a fool. One hour, twenty-two minutes, and fifty-seconds until our first official date. Hmm…what am I going to wear?
I'm about to knock on his door when suddenly, a wave of nervousness washes over me. What if he doesn't like me? What if I'm not what he expected? What if he keeps thinking about Sara and how I'm not as good as her?
I push all negative thoughts out of my head and finally knock on the door. Again, I'm having second thoughts and am about to turn around when suddenly the door opens. He's standing in front of me looking oh-so-sexy in a baby blue button down with a white wife beater underneath, which by the way fits him very nicely, and faded black jeans. He's got that smirk on his face that just makes me go weak in the knees and forget my name.
"Hey Gabby," he says. "Come on in."
As I walk into his apartment, I see a cozy little table set up in the middle of the living room. Two white candles are lit and the lights are dimmed. He takes my hand in his, leads me over to the table, and pulls out my chair for me. I'm so nervous I'm not even sure I'll be able to eat.
We finally finish eating and start to talk. He tells me how his family has moved a lot and that he never stayed in one place long enough to have any real friends. I learn a little more about Sara but I can see the pain in his eyes and I sense that he doesn't want to really talk about her. I try to change the subject but he suddenly stops me.
"Wait right here. I have something for you."
I sit on the couch and wonder what it could be. A few minutes later, he emerges from his room with a guitar. A cook, an artist, incredibly cute, and now a musician? What other tricks does this boy have up his sleeve?
"Oh my god! You play, too?" I ask him.
"Yeah, but not as good as you do. I can play drums a lot better than the guitar, though." He says with a grin. "I hear you play this song every night so I figured it was your favorite."
He sits down in front of me and starts to strum out the chords to a familiar song, but for some reason, I can't seem to remember what it is. Not until he starts singing do I realize what song it is.
They come and go but they don't know
That you are my beautiful
I try to come closer with you
But they all say we won't make it through
But I'll be there forever
You will see that it's better
All our hopes and our dreams will come true
I will not disappoint you
I'll be right there for you 'til the end
The end of time
Please be mine
I'm in and out of love with you
Trying to find if it's really true
oh no no no no
How can I prove my love
If they all think I'm not good enough
But I'll be there forever
You will see that it's better
All our hopes and our dreams will come true
I will not disappoint you
I will be right there for you 'til the end
The end of time
Please be mine
I can't stop the rain from falling
Can't stop my heart from calling you
It's calling you
I can't stop the rain from falling
Can't stop my heart from calling you
It's calling you
I can't stop the rain from falling
Can't stop my heart from calling you
It's calling you
But I'll be there forever
You will see that it's better
All our hopes and our dreams will come true
I will not disappoint you
I will be right there for you 'til the end
The end of time
Please be mine
We lock eyes after he finishes and I can feel myself moving closer to him. Slowly, we make our way toward each other and our lips finally meet for the first time. Our kiss is small, but sweet. Sensual yet innocent. Everything that I imagined it would be. Perfect.
He pulls back and looks into my eyes. "I've wanted to do for the longest time."
All I do is nod. I cannot speak. That one single kiss has taken my breath away.
Wow. What a perfect date. I still can't believe that he asked me out. I mean, why me? He could have had anyone else, and yet he picks me. I sighed of happiness.
I turn on the radio and guess what? Our song is playing. Hehehe, we have a song. I lay down in my bed and I can hear him listening to our song too. Hmm…maybe someday he'll write a song just for me.
As the song ends, I realize that he is talking to someone; probably his sister, Kristin. I hear her mention my name and I put my ear on my wall so I can catch the rest of what they're saying. I know, I know, I'm not supposed to do that, but hey, I want to know what she's saying about me.
"……totally different. Nothing like Sara," Kristin says.
"Yeah I know, that's the thing…." Troy says.
"Wait, I know what you're going to say, and yes, I know because I've heard it so many times before," says Kristin.
"Kris…." Troy starts to say.
I start to reach for my remote control to lower the volume on my radio, when suddenly; I accidentally knock over my music stand. Errr! I knew this putting this thing so close to my bed was a bad idea. I pick up everything and try to catch the end of the conversation.
Silence.
Why were they talking about me? Why would they bring up Sara again? I thought he was already over her. I thought he was ready to move on. Wasn't our relationship supposed to be a new beginning for both of us? Maybe I was wrong. I obviously was getting ahead of myself here. And his sister, I thought she liked me. Wait, maybe I'm taking this the wrong way. I did only hear part of the conversation. But then again, the part I heard wasn't that great. I'm so confused!
I go to my bed to lie down and think. Why does life have to be so complicated? I pick up my teddy bear and squeeze him tight. The softness of his fur always seems to make my bad mood go away but for some reason, it doesn't help this time. I feel an ache deep inside my heart and wonder why I feel this way. How can I have such strong feelings for someone I've only had one date with? But then again, thanks to these walls, I feel like I've known him forever.
My eyes start to get heavy with drowsiness and I fall into a dreamless, restless slumber.
A/N: I hope you all enjoyed this chapter ;D Want the next one? Then, review, please!
Once I get enough, I promise I'll post the next one up as soon as I can. Thanks!
Oh, and by the way, the song Troy played for Gabriella in this chapter was "Please Be Mine" by the Jonas Brothers (In case some of you haven't heard it yet). It's a really cute song, it's one of my favorites actually :D Look it up if you haven't heard it, yet! :)
