It Happened One Night
Chapter Three:
Phone Call
--
"Don't ever tell some bull shit heroic stories to them about me, ever again," Troy mimicked slamming his car keys on the coffee table.
He had one interesting day today. Not so pleasant, but it goes to show you that everyday isn't just any other day. It wasn't every day when he hit Sharpay Evans' car. Actually, it wasn't everyday that he saw her.
"What are heroic stories?" Hailey asked dancing around the small living room.
Troy watched as his two kids ran around the living room, crashing into the couches and jumping on the newspapers scattered all over the carpet. He knew to tell the two to stop jumping around or the neighbor's downstairs will complain once again. It was hard to tell kids to stop—especially when they were having fun.
"Nothing, Hailey." He said in a low tone feeling tired. "Stop that. You'll make the people downstairs mad." He held down Josh and Hailey, making them pause in place.
The twins shot him a frown and sat down on the couch without another word. They did that when they were told to stop.
"What's for dinner?" Josh asked turning his head to glance at the kitchen.
"I don't know. I'll go make you two something. Then I'm taking a shower and you two are going to let me have some peace for the rest of the night. Agreed?" Troy stated stepping into the little kitchen. It was probably the only room in the house that was kept clean. He got into the habit of wiping the counters and picking up after himself and the twins in the kitchen. The rest of the house—you could tell there was no woman living and cleaning up.
The kids both nodded with angelic smiles spread across their faces. There were times when they both looked like little angels. Though it was rare—for Hailey anyway. He loved them both equally. But everyone always has the troublemaker in the family.
He rushed around the kitchen fixing the first thing that came to mind. Macaroni and cheese. It was easy and the kids liked it. Plus there really wasn't anything else to eat or make in the house since he hadn't gone grocery shopping for a while. Not to mention he missed today's paycheck. Not good.
"Joshua! Hailey! Food is on the table. Eat while it's still hot." Troy called from the kitchen placing his cell phone down on the counter as he speed walked towards the bathroom. He felt so sticky and hot. All the tense in his head was warming up his body. A nice cold shower was the perfect answer to cool off and let his day slip.
The twins skipped to the kitchen, sitting on their usual spot.
"It's all soggy." Hailey frowned playing with her bowl of macaroni and cheese.
Troy wasn't the best cook in the world, especially when he rushed to get things done. The kids learned to enjoy his cooking, but sometimes the food just turned out too strange.
"It doesn't taste like cheese." Josh spat out his food.
Hailey nodded letting the macaroni fall out of her mouth and onto the table. "Ew." She cried wiping her mouth with the paper towel.
"Daddy isn't a very good cook." Josh took a sip of his water cup, trying to make the taste disappear.
Hailey did the same. "Grandma's cooking is much better." She stated dumping her food in the trashcan not wanting her dad to know she didn't eat her dinner.
"And she made macaroni and cheese with cheese." The boy twin spoke climbing on the counter to put his bowl in the sink.
Even if they were both very hungry, the twins did not want to eat their dad's cooking. Most of the time they ate with their grandma who actually knew how to cook—unlike their father. The only thing that the twins actually ate that their dad made was cereal. That didn't take much skill.
"I hear buzzings!" Hailey exclaimed looking around the living room for something that seemed like the vibration of a cell phone.
The twins ran around searching for what they knew was their dad's cell phone. They always answered it—even if they were told many times not to. Troy hate it when the kids answered his cell phone, most of the time people called him for work and his kids always joke around making the person on the other side annoyed.
"Daddy's cell phone!" Hailey screeched happily as she found the cell phone on top of the side table by the couch. She didn't hesitate one second before flipping it open and answering it with the sweetest voice she could offer. "Hello?"
"Oh gosh—where's Troy?" Sharpay's voice came bewildered. She knew it was the little brat that would not stop staring at her earlier.
"Barbie!" Was the first word that came out of the little blonde girl's mouth.
Josh stared at his sister, confused. He knew who Barbie was. He just didn't know why his twin sister was so into that life size 'Barbie'.
"Where's Troy?" Sharpay asked sounding urgent.
She didn't have time to talk to a little five-year-old who just annoyed her. It ways she felt bad that she disliked Hailey so much, she is her daughter—only she refuse to admit that for any reason. Josh, on the other hand seems to be tame and she figured she could deal with him—not Hailey. Either way, there was no way she was going to take in those little brats that ruined her life. They were the last things on earth she wanted. Last.
"Who?" Hailey questioned.
"Troy." Sharpay repeated. She was already annoyed.
"You mean daddy? He's name is daddy. Not Troy. No one calls him that." Hailey beamed proudly giving her twin brother a happy jolly look.
"Could you give the phone to your daddy?" Sharpay asked trying to keep her cool down with the five-year-old on the other line.
"He's in the shower." Hailey responded.
"Well, when he gets out, tell him he owes me a new taillight." Sharpay stated.
"You have a tail?" The little asked puzzle sending her twin brother a crazy look. She started to get the idea that maybe Sharpay wasn't a 'Barbie'. Barbies don't have tails.
Sharpay rolled her eyes. A typical five-year-old, not knowing what certain things are. She was not in the mood to talk all childish just trying to explain a stupid taillight.
"Just tell your dad that." She remarked trying to plant the idea in the little blonde's head.
"Why do you have a—"
"Hailey! Who are you talking to?" Troy stepped into the living room angrily. When his cell phone was in the hands of his five-year-old daughter, he was never happy about it. She tend to bother random people or just find someone in his contacts to call even if she has no idea who they are.
"No one." Hailey threw the phone to the couch making Sharpay hiss from the falling sound that hit her ear.
Troy eyed her down knowing that it was a fib. "Don't lie to me." He spat sitting down beside Hailey and picking up the phone. "Sharpay?" He read the caller ID. "Hailey, did you call her?" He asked suspiciously not sure if Sharpay was still on the line, listening.
"No…"Hailey looked down. She knew she was in trouble, though she always managed to get out of it somehow. "She called. She wants a new tail." She looked up meeting her dad's bewildered blue eyes.
"Hailey, I told you many times not to touch my phone—unless if it's an emergency. When are you going TO LISTEN TO ME?" Troy shouted angrily. He was getting so angry with her. First she caused him the accident and why he missed work and why he had to face Sharpay again. He loved her, very much. She was just too much sometimes.
Sharpay stood on the other side of the phone listening. She figured she should just hang up, but she wanted to hear their conversation. The little girl was being punished; she wanted to see how Troy actually handled his kids. That is if he could handle them.
"I'm sorry daddy. The noise was bothering me." Hailey bit her lip letting some tears escaped her eyes.
Josh looked at his twin sister. She always knew what to say when she was in trouble. He had no idea how she did—she knew how to make things up on the spot.
"You're already in trouble as it is. Don't keep screwing around, Hailey. You're really wearing me out." Troy sighed. She was really giving him a hard time with everything. He was getting tired of having to discipline her over and over again. One day, he knew he was going to loose it.
"I'm sorry." Hailey cried resting her head against Troy's shoulder. "I didn't mean to." She whispered.
Josh shot her a look. Troy looked at his son who quickly turned away not wanting to have to deal with anything—or get involved.
Troy felt himself wanting to fume from everything that was going on. That was one of his biggest pet peeve, breaking the rules. He lived by the rules and he followed them. He disliked it when his own child disobeyed him. "I've told you many, many time before. I tell you not to do things and yet you always do the opposite. Why?"
"Do you hate me, daddy?" Hailey pouted glancing at the phone still flipped open, knowing that Sharpay was still on the other line because of the white glow.
"No. No. I don't hate you. I never hated you. I love you. You just…. sometimes you can be like—I love you Hailey. You know that." Troy let out a huge breath placing his little girl on his lap. Josh climbed on his other one as well. Time like these were what he treasured. If only the twins actually stayed peaceful all day and just sit on his lap, cuddling. Instead they choose to run around and smack each other. "Why don't you two go wash up and get ready for bed? I have work tomorrow. And we've had a long day." He slowly began to stand up, letting the kids off his lap. "Be a good girl, Hailey. Don't hog the sink." Troy kissed the little girl's head. "Don't yell at her, Josh." He shuffled the little boy's shaggy hair with his hand.
The twins nodded with their priceless faces and disappeared down the hall into the bathroom. Troy let out one last breath before tearing his eyes towards his opened cell phone; obviously Sharpay was still there, hearing everything. Without warning, he grabbed the phone and put it towards his ear. "Hello?" The simple word escaped his lips.
No answer.
"Sharpay." He said steadily.
"Yeah?" Her voice cracked slowly.
"What did you call for?" He questioned sitting back on the torn up couch.
"Oh. Uh. You—never mind. Never mind. I forgot." She lied. Now her reason sounded stupid and it wasn't worth talking to Troy for. She just wanted an excuse to call him. That was all. Even if she had no reason why she wanted to call him, she just had the urge; it was one of those things. It was pretty normal if you haven't seen someone for a long time—especially if they're taking care of your kids.
"Oh, right." He rolled his eyes thinking back to how exactly he lost control of the car and slammed into Sharpay's shiny car. What were the odds of him slamming into her car when there were about six more other cars parked to the side of the street? "Did Hailey bother you?" He asked quietly.
"Huh?" She spoke, not really paying much attention to Troy. "Wait—who? Your daughter?" Your daughter. She couldn't say our daughter. It sounded too strange. "I don't know. She needs some manners that's for sure." She came back to her senses, snapping at Troy.
Troy wanted to chuckle loudly, but he thought it would have been cheesy. "You can only guess where she gets her attitude from. Josh has his moments too; he's just not as bad—no—nowhere near as bad. He's mellow. She's—out there. Really out there. She always has those moments. I figured it's genetic." He said feeling confident since there was no way for Sharpay to slap his head off of him. She was all the way on the other side of the phone line—where ever.
"Excuse me? You're the one who's raised them. And I didn't call to chitchat about those brats. I don't give a damn care about them and I don't need to hear about them. I called to tell you that you've caused some damaged to my car—pay up." She demanded in a bitter tone, making Troy sit up.
"I owe you?" He questioned with a smirk. "Please Sharpay. You owe me a lot. You want me to start counting? Because I don't think there's enough money in the world for you to repay me. I mean it." He stated firmly. "I had to give up so much to raise our kids. You bailed out on them. Do you have any idea how hard I've worked just to keep them alive?" His voice began to rise. "All the money I've sacrificed? You have no idea Sharpay. No idea." He shook his head, even if Sharpay couldn't see him.
It took a few seconds for words to come through the other line.
"It wasn't my fault. If you would have just kept your dirty little hands off of—"
"Daddy! Tuck us in!" The twins giggled down the hall.
Troy gave them thumbs up and turned back around to get back to his not so great conversation with Sharpay.
"It wasn't all my fault. And I'm not counting Sharpay. I told you I wouldn't bother you about the kids. I'm not going to. I think I'll do much better if you weren't around to judge me so much. I've done fine these past few years; I don't need you to criticize me. Because you're not the one who's getting the benefits of all the hardship I've gone through. Even if I've gone through a lot." He took a deep breath. "In the end, I have two little kids looking up to me. Giggling and laughing 'I love you' in my ears. And that pays off—"
Click.
"That son of a—" Troy threw his cell phone on the side table and made his way to the small hallway.
