I ran up to Troy, "Do you want to come over tonight, maybe stay for a week or so, just to see if we can still live like we used to" I asked. "Only for one week, okay…" Troy said as he got in the car, "I guess I'll see you in 4 hours, for dinner." Troy finished. "Okay, sounds great, maybe just me and you could have a little romantic dinner when Lily goes to bed" I said with a sweet smile on my face. "Sure…" he said as he leaned in for a kiss as soon as his lips touched mine…..
BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!
There was that same annoying sound, my alarm clock. I immediately woke up, "ELIJAH!!!" I screamed as I arose, and started to cry. Lily walked in, "Mommy, you had the same dream, didn't you…." She said as she held her Tickle Monster, "No Lily, it was about your", I stopped, I was thinking if I should actually tell her about Elijah, "It was about your baby brother, Elijah Michael Bolton" I said with a cracking voice, "Where's he at", Lily said with her 'fixing to cry' look on, "I want to give him Tickle Monster…." Lily finished, holding up her teddy bear to me, this made me cry even more. "He's with daddy, he's in a better place…..I'm sure of that…." I said as I stood up and examined my face in the mirror, I looked at myself, then turned around and looked at Lily, I smiled at her. I picked her up and twirled her around just the way that Troy did, she started to giggle.
In my mind the words 'Will You Marry Me, Gabriella Montez' kept repeating, we never even had a chance to go through the wedding. But somehow, I was glad; that would have just made me love Troy even more, and made it harder to let him and our child go. He didn't even know, I was going to tell him on New Year's Eve, the day we met, the day I loved him. I looked at Lily giggling, she couldn't have brightened my day anymore, she was the reason I could breathe whenever I thought of Troy, the reason I was reminded of the one good thing I did in life, and the reason I can still go on. 'Love', what did it really mean, did it mean that you simply just give your heart t o them, I believed that love can't have a definition, it's too powerful. Love is the closest we have to magic, and Lily was all the magic in my life.
"Mommy, please, I'm going to hurl, stop spinning me!!!!" Lily said as she went passed her 17 twirl.
"Sorry…I guess I got a little carried away…" I said as I put her down.
Lily walked up to my radio and turned it on.
A song By Nikki Flores played….
Connected by a feeling in our very souls
Rising till it lifts us up
So everyone can see
We're soaring
We're flying
There's not a star in heaven
That we can't reach
"Lily, Turn it up please" I said, I started singing, it comforted me a little, I remember when me and Troy would sing this to Lily as a lullaby, or we would be cooking spaghetti and he'd break out just singing it. I always would laugh at Troy to even simply try to make any food, but after spending a week with Zeke he came home and cooked until he couldn't cook anymore. It was nice, but now, I was the only one cooking anything, with the occasion of Lily's company, while making holiday sugar cookies.
Really, I have to move on, but Troy's love for me has me glued on the same place. It's been a surprise that Sharpay is still alive especially since her nasty car accident. I still remember that night, 'The after Party', yeah, the night I was completely…..BOLD.
I was so worried about how Troy would react, when the whole time, he loved me too.
A/N: You can go to and find the song that I was talking about. Like me writing a long Chapter 8……I know u do, I don't though!
