Troy's Walls -- Chapter Nine.
By bomchickawahwahx3
Hey, guys!
I've been trying my best lately to update as soon as I can. I'm not sure if I can update again either tomorrow or another day this week, but I sure hope you can all bear with me ;D haha.
I put down my pencil and let out a frustrated sigh. Math homework doesn't even compare to what happened today. Everything was going great until I was hit with some rather shocking news from Jodie. She's still in love with Troy? How can she be when it's been over a year since she last saw him? Should I tell him what happened today? What do I say to Jodie? I mean I can't tell her that I'm his girlfriend since Troy still hasn't made it official. True, he's told me that he loves me, but he hasn't officially asked me out. It would be nice if he did that soon. Maybe I should call Sharpay and see what she has to see.
But before I can do that, the doorbell suddenly rings.
I answer the door and am surprised as to who is on the other side of the door; With his electrifying bright blue orbs staring back at me, I'm wasn't even sure if I could even talk about what happened today.
"Hey babe. How are you?" Troy asks me.
Well, looks like I'll have to do this on my own. We walk over to the couch and sit down.
"Fine," I lie.
"Are you sure? You seem a little distant. Anything I can do to help?" He reaches for my hand and takes it in his.
"Well," I begin to say. "I can't decide on what song to play for the recital." Stupid! Why can't you just tell him?
"Oh…well, I can't really help you there. It's your decision to make."
"Right…my decision…"
"Gabriella? Are you sure that's all that's bothering you? I mean –"
"Troy, where are we in our relationship? I mean, I know that you really care about me and that you love me and vice versa but you haven't made it official. You never really asked me to be your girlfriend. It would be nice of you to do that; like a nice sense of security."
He chuckles a bit before saying, "Is that all that was bothering you? Well then, Gabriella Anne Montez, would you give me greatest honor in the world and be my girlfriend?" He gets down on his knees and adds, "Come on, Gabby. I'm down on my knees."
I smile to myself. Now I remember why I love this guy so much. "Of course I would."
"Good. Now that that is settled, are you ready for tomorrow night?"
Confused, I ask, "Tomorrow night?"
"Um, the gallery?"
By the look on his face and the tone of his voice, I can tell that he is a little annoyed. I mentally yell at myself for forgetting about something as important as that. "Oh right! How could I forget? I guess things have just been bugging me lately."
"It's ok. Are you sure that there isn't anything else you want to tell me? I mean I am your boyfriend and all. You can trust me with these things," he smiles.
I hesitate and contemplate whether or not I should tell him. Telling him could really hurt us and that is the last thing I want to do. I can still hear Jodie's voice in my head, telling me that she's still in love with Troy. I let out an exasperated sigh and finally decide that it would be the best thing to do if I at least mentioned it, instead of keeping things from him.
"Troy, how come you never tell me anything about you? You know my entire life story and my past but yet I don't know anything about you. Why do you keep yourself so distant from me? It's like one minute you're completely happy and the next you get that far-off look in your eyes and you're unreachable. Like, how come you've never told me about any of your other ex-girlfriends, besides Sara?"
"You never asked." He says almost immediately.
I can feel my anger rising and desperately try to keep my emotions in check. "That's not the point, Troy. It seems like that only time you've ever opened up to me is the night you told me you loved me. Why is that? What is so bad that you have to keep from me?"
"Gabby, I don't understand," his voice cracks with that last statement and I can feel a lump forming in my throat.
"Who is Jodie? What happened with her?"
The look on his face explains it all; And with that question falls silence; a silence that completely breaks and shatters my heart into little pieces, and allows the tears to start flowing.
