My Island
Chapter 13
Gabriella's POV
Troy and Alan took me home, the drive was silent, I felt out of place here, with them, and I don't know why. "Troy," I said but recieved no answer. "Alan," I softly said but was given silence. I couldn't take the silence, it wasn't right, why won't they talk to me, or even look at me for that matter.
"We're here," Alan said coldly, "we have to talk." He gave me a look of apology, maybe he just couldn't think of words to say to me in the car, or maybe they both are disgusted for leaving them. "Better hurry," he whispered. Why would I have to hurry?
I slowly walked in, I was afraid of what they were going to say to me, I wasn't on good terms with both of them when I left. I sat down in the middle of the couch, still very afraid. Alan put my bag down next to the stairs and sat at the far right side of the couch, and Troy took the far left side. There was still silence, none of us had built the courage to say something yet, I couldn't bare the silence any longer.
"I'm sorry," I said softly.
"You should be," Troy spat. "How could you even think of leaving us? I thought you were better than that."
"I'm sorry," was all I could say, I never expected Troy to be so cold.
"Tin Tin," Alan started, "why?"
I looked down at the ground and took a deep breath, "I couldn't take the pressure."
"Gabriella, what pressure? I never pressured you before, and I don't plan to in the future," Troy said.
"Tin Tin, I don't think I've pressured you before either," Alan said.
"Alan, you think you haven't pressured me, you want me to pick between you and Troy, I was happy with my life before you walked back into it, I had what every girl dreamed of, but you ruined it, I hate you," I yelled.
"Gabriella, calm down," Troy said moving a little closer to me.
"Shut up Troy, you're no Mr. Perfect yourself, the constant arguing, missing dates for practice, you could have supported me when I told you about my powers, but no, you didn't, you left," I argued. I saw Troy's face, he looked like he was about to cry. "I thought you were better than that."
"Gabriella, it was hard for me," he replied.
"And you don't think it was hard for me to tell you?" I asked. I tried my best not to cry, it wasn't successful. "I tried my best to figure out who to choose, you both left me, so I left you both."
"Tin Tin, I'm sorry," Alan said softly. "If you want me out of your life, then I'll go, but I didn't know you hated me."
"Alan, you can't leave my life after you came back, it's not that easy, and I don't hate you, I said that in the heat of the moment," I explained. I then felt two strong arms around me, they came from the left side, I don't want him to let me go. Then I felt a hand grab mine, this time from the right, a sudden warmth was in my stomach. "I'm sorry," was all I could say. We stayed in this position for a while longer again in silence.
"Don't ever leave me, never again," someone said.
"Don't leave me either," the other person said.
"I can't leave either of you, I can't," I whispered. "I'm sorry." I untangled myself from both of their grasps and walked upstairs towards my room. I shut the door and fell to the ground, my life will never be the same again.
I layed down in my bed, and that warmth in my stomach was gone, the sad thing is, I don't know who gives me that feeling. I used to get that feeling when I was with Alan, and I used to be Tin Tin, the day we touched hands, that gave me butterflies. When I'm with Troy, it's different, my heart starts to beat fast, and I had that feeling since I met him. Now, both those feelings were replaced, now all I get is a warmth in my stomach, I hate to say this, but that's the worst feeling I've ever experienced.
I took a deep breath, "there's not a star in heaven that we can't reach." It used to be so easy, this love thing, I just wished it would stay so easy.
