Wildcats: All Grown Up
Chapter 11
Nathan was going out of his mind. He just found out that Kay never went to Sharpay's house.
Flashback
Nathan set his guitar down. It was getting late and he wanted to check on Kayla. He walked over to his phone that was sitting on his nightstand, and dialed his Aunt's house. He waited four rings before his Aunt picked up.
"Hello," Sharpay's voice rang throughout the phone.
"Hey Auntie Shar, can I talk to Kay?" Nathan asked, switching the phone to his left ear.
"Kay's not here, Nate" Sharpay said.
"What? Kay said she was sleeping over there tonight" Nate said, worry now filling his voice.
"I never heard anything about that. Lauren's not even here. She's out with your Uncle. I'm sorry, Nate" Sharpay said, wondering what was really going on with the Bolton family. First Kayla and now, was wondering if something else was going on at home. Something must be going on that Nate's not telling me. Sadness and stress seemed to be the two that was aching out the most from him.
"Nate, is everything ok at home? At school? In life in general?" Sharpay asked, deeply concerned about her nephew.
"Everything's fine. Don't worry. Everything's gonna be okay. I have to go now. Thanks Auntie Shar. Bye" Nate said, on the verge of tears again. He sucked them back in and erased the thought from his mind. Kayla was what mattered the most right now. Not him and his stupid pathetic problems. Where the hell could she be? He thought.
Nathan waited all night, but she never showed up…..
End flashback
It was now 8 o'clock in the morning and Kayla was still not home. Their mother still had not come out of her bedroom. Wow, he thought, his dad must have really made his mom depressed for her to be like this. That must have been some fight they had.
Opening of the bedroom doors were heard, and a moment later, Nathan's room opened, and he was staring at his three siblings. They all looked sleepy yet ready to start a new day.
"Is mom up yet? Megan asked, looking up at her big brother.
"No, she isn't. Let's go and try to get her up" Nathan suggested. They all left Nathan's room and headed for their mother's. They knocked twice before entering.
Still lying in bed, was their mother. They walked closer to the bed and stared down at her. Her hair was a mess. It looked like a bird's nest or a tornado had hit it. Her face was red and blotchy. She still had tearstains on her eyes and cheeks. She looked awful yet to her kids, she, Gabriella Bolton, was still the most beautiful women that ever lived.
In her arms, she was tightly holding onto a teddy bear Troy had given her when they were seventeen years old. The bear itself looked like it was crying. It was wet and looked like it went though something.
There, also lying next to her was a scrapbook. They all glanced at the cover.
Gabriella and Troy
2007
A couple in love to the end of time
Nathan opened the cover curiously and looked down at the top page. There was a note on the page.
Gabi,
Here is a little something I thought might interest you. It took me over a year to make it. I pulled together all the pictures from our favorite memories. Keep this book close to you're heart always. I know we are graduating today and we may never know what the future may hold, but always know this. I love you till the end of time Gabriella Montez, and my love for you will always stay the same even if we break up one day. I fell in love with you the moment I laid my eyes on you and it won't ever change. I hope one day we will be able to show this to our children when they are old enough. Good luck with all you're future plans Gabi- you are going to be one heck of a teacher. Don't worry about not seeing the gang. We will always be friends and always find our way back to each other. I love you Gabi. I will always be you're Wildcat.
All my love,
Troy
Wow, they thought as they finished reading the note their dad left. He was really in love with her. They didn't think it was even possible to love someone that much, but it was. Troy Bolton loved Gabriella Bolton that much. They flipped though the pages, taking note on all how their parents were posing. They looked, kissed, laughed to each other like it was a fairy tale. What happen?
"Troy, please, don't leave me. I need you! I love you! Baby, please, don't do this…." Gabi cried in her sleep. Fresh tears came to her eyes, they all wanted to cry. Why did this have to happen? Why to their mom and dad? What was the fight even about? Gabi clutched the bear even tighter. She started thrashing about in her sleep.
"Troy, come back! Please…"
Nathan gently shook his mother, hoping to wake her up but failed as she continued thrashing. He shook her a little harder.
"Mom, please get up" Nathan firmly told his mom. She stop thrashing and opened her eyes. She looked around and saw her children. "Mom, you have to get up" Gabi stayed silent. Nathan just groaned. "Mom, please don't do this. We know you're suffering, heck, we all are, but we need to get on with our lives" Nathan took a seat next to his mother. "He's not worth you're pain, mom" He finished.
"Yes, he is! He's the greatest man you'll ever know. He is the perfect husband. He's my everything. I can't live without him. You're just mad at him, Nate. But I'm over being mad. I'm sad, Nate. I love him more than the air I breathe. I need him in my life. I would take everything I said back just to be in his arms again. You're father is a wonderful man, Nate. A wonderful, wonderful man. He has made bad choices, I'll admit that, but we all do. I do. You do. Everyone does. I need him in my life" Gabi confessed. All of them were looking at her. Wow, they thought. She must really love him.
"I'm sorry mom if I hurt you're feelings, but even if we wanted him to come back, he left, so how can we get him to come back?" Nathan asked. Gabi finally sat up in bed. She took a good look at her children.
"He said he would check up on us in a few days, right?" They nodded. "Then all we have to do is make this place a mess, and be depressed and look like we can't take care of ourselves. Okay? Gabi replied.
"Okay. I think we can do that" Megan said.
"Good" Gabi smiled, looking at her kids. Her smile vanished when she noticed Kayla was missing. "Kayla's still sleeping?" Nathan shook his head. "Then where is she?"
"About that, well, last night she asked me is she could sleep at Aunty Shar's house. I said fine. I called later on around eleven to check up on her, and Aunty said she wasn't there and never had been. I don't know where she is. She didn't come home all last night; I waited up all night" Nathan said softly.
"Well, maybe she's with a friend" Gabi suggested. This could not be happening to me, she thought. First, Troy leaving and now Kayla. What's next? I can't handle anymore!
"Maybe, she is then. I called her cell but she never answered" Nathan responded.
"We'll try again. Give her some time Nate. Lots have been going on for all of us" Gabi sighed. They all walked downstairs into the kitchen.
Wildcats: All Grown Up…
Kayla woke up feeling very confused. When she went to pick hr head up to look around the room, she felt extreme pain shoot through her head. She quickly put her head back down. She turned to her right and noticed a body lying next to her.
Her eyes widened when she saw that it was Derek. He was still fast asleep. She looked down to see if she was naked. Phew… thank God! She thought, as she saw all of her clothes were still on. We must have just kissed and fell asleep.
She realized it must be getting late. She turned to the nightstand and looked at the alarm clock. Her eyes widened. It read 9:00 am. Shit! My brother's gonna kill me. She shook Derek; desperately trying to wake him up.
"Derek….wake up! I have to go home" She said, still shaking him.
"Go away…" he groaned, still laying there. Kay sighed.
"Come on, I have to go home Derek. It's 9 in the morning. I need to go" Kay stressed. Derek sighed but reluctantly got up.
"Fine, I'll take you home. Let's go then before I change my mind" Derek said angrily. They gathered everything they brought with them to the party and left.
The ride home was filled with filled with silence. Kay finally spoke when Derek pulled up to her house.
"Thanks Derek. I'll see you at school, I guess" Kay stated as she reached for the door handle.
"Yea, whatever. Later" Derek said, not even glancing at her.
"Derek, please don't be like this. I really like you. I just need to go home. My family must be really worried about me. I'm actually surprised they haven't called the cops yet" Kay sighed.
"I get it. I'll see you Monday" Derek reached over a kissed her. Kay smiled before getting out. Derek waited until she got to the front door. She waved and he drove away. She sighed. She knew this wasn't going to be pretty. She took a deep breath before walking into her house to face her family.
