December makes me feel this way
Chapter 8
Chapter 8 Taylor's POV
We all moved out of the living room leaving a making out Troy and Gabion the couch. We sat in the kitchen.
"Yeah, but what if Gabriella just goes…bananas and freaks out on Troy?" Sharpay asked.
"Yeah, last time it didn't go too well." Kelsi said.
"Well, maybe this time it's different." Ryan said.
"Ryan last time she actually dated and liked a guy was in…high school! Well not really, but still." I said.
"Sorry…" he said putting his head down.
"Well if you don't mind I think I'll be going." Chad said.
"Come on ladybug you're coming too." Chad said taking my hand.
"Just make sure they do nothing stupid!" I said to them as Chad and I headed upstairs.
Gabriella's POV
My back was the couch and Troy was hovering over me. We were just kissing and the ending credits on the movie were on. I broke the kiss and looked into his eyes.
"Troy don't you think this is a bit forward?" I asked him.
"WE knew each other for six years Gabriella."
"Yeah, but we just met…again. We only know the real us for a few days."
"Yeah." He said getting off of my and sitting down.
"Can we take it slowly?" I asked him.
"Yeah, we can." He said smiling at me.
"God because I'm tired." I said leaning into him. Just then snowball and Matt came racing into the room and then snowball slid into a cushion that Chad had been sitting on.
"Hey, guys." I said to them. All the got was barking.
"So, tomorrow were going to go tree hunting." I said to him.
"Why don't you just get a fake one? I mean the real one takes watering and it sheds a lot."
"Well, another thing. If you get a fake tree…it's like Christmas suicide."
"Christmas Suicide, huh?"
"Yeah, Sharpay gave me that word." I said playing with his shirt.
"Sharpay says a lot of things." He said laughing.
"You've only been with us like six days now and you know everyone's favorite stuff." I said.
"I actually remember things, Gabriella."
"I'm glad. Come on I want to go to bed and I am not going unless you tuck me in." I said standing up while holding his hand.
He tucked me in, but once again I asked him to stay this time he got under the blankets, but we didn't do anything! I swear! All we did was hold each other and whisper things.
December 7th…Troy's POV
I woke up to the smell of eggs. I turned around in bed and wrapped my arm around Gabriella, but she wasn't there. I guess she was downstairs. I went and showered then dressed. Walking downstairs I sat in the kitchen.
"Ok, so the plan today is to get the tree. The girls and I will decorate it while you guys go get the suite cases. We also plan on having the parents coming on the tenth. We changed it so Troy your parents will be riding with Chad's parents. Gabriella have you decided about the master room?" Sharpay asked her.
"Umm, I just want to leave it the way it is. So while the guys are gone after we do the tree we'll do the beds." She said.
"Well, you know putting new sheets and quilts on the beds at your house was just a waste of time." Zeke said.
"It was, but hey now it's clean." Gabriella said. Sitting next to Gabriella I took her hand on top of the table and we ate breakfast that way.
"Oh my…are you guys dating?" Sharpay asked.
"Yeah." Gabriella said taking a bit of her pancake.
"I knew it!" Taylor said
"Ok, I'll wash the dished then we can get all ready." Gabriella said gathering the plates and washing them. At twelve PM everyone was ready. We headed out to find that perfect Christmas tree.
"I just noticed were all in couples now." Chad said.
"Yeah, but not married couples, but who knows maybe there will be some wedding bells." Taylor said.
"Taylor, there might be but not for some time." Gabriella said skipping ahead in the snow. Still snowing it was up to our knees. So Gabriella had a hard time with the skipping.
"Ok, so where do we go?" kelsi asked.
"Well, we want a small tree, but not too small." Gabriella said.
"Is this one ok?" Chad said pointing to a six ft seven foot tree.
"Perfect!" Sharpay squealed. While the guys were chopping it down the girls were looking around.
"Is it me or is it just cold." Taylor said wrapping her arms around her body.
"It is not." Gabriella said.
"That's because you kind of grew up here so your use to it." Kelsi said.
"True…"
"So what movie tonight?" Sharpay asked.
"Elf." Gabriella said automatically.
"Love the movie it's so cute." Taylor said.
Gabriella's POV
I looked over and saw that the guys were now done. We all helped carry the tree back to the house. Once we did we set it in the tree holder and put some water in it.
"Ok, we're heading out now. We'll see you girls tomorrow morning." Zeke said. They headed out and the girls started putting the decorations on the tree.
"How are we going to get the star on?" I asked.
"We'll leave it for one of the guys." Kelsi said. Once we finished we just took out leftovers form last night and started to eat them as we watched Elf. By the time the movie was done it was eight and we weren't at all tired.
"What do we do now?" Taylor asked hanging off the couch.
"I think we can…um…beats me." I said lying on the floor. I had set the fire in the fireplace and Snowball and Matt were sleeping peacefully on the carpet.
"I want cake…"Kelsi said.
"Wanna make one?" I asked sitting up excitedly.
"Yeah!" they all yelled. So in we went into the kitchen. We got out all the ingredients' and turned the radio up loudly.
Along the way we decided to make brownies too and cupcakes even though cakes and cupcakes were the same thing. It was one in the morning and we were putting the leftover on the just cleaned kitchen counter. We decided to just sleep my room since it was the closest. Lying in the bed we fell asleep talking about Santa.
December 8th
Sharpay's POV
"Kelsi…Taylor…Gabriella, we have to get up." I mumbled into the pillow.
"What time is it?" Taylor asked.
"Nine. Let's go cook breakfast." Sharpay said.
"Nuh-uh we did too much baking last night…or this morning." Gabriella said
"I want my cloths." Taylor said.
"Will you all shut up Kelsi is trying to sleep here." Kelsi said.
"Yeah, so is Gabriella." Gabriella said.
"Cracker nackers." Taylor said.
"Sharpay says you're all cranky people." I said.
"Tell Sharpay to turn off her talking button." Taylor mumbled.
"But, sharpay wants everyone to get up." I said.
"Gabriella, Kelsi and Taylor are not here at the moment please leave a message and we'll get back to you when we can." Gabriella said.
Chad's POV
We all stood out side of Gabriella's door and listened to them talk, then they stopped.
"Ok on the count of three…1…2…3…" I said we ran into Gabriella's room and jumped on the bed.
"AHH! Monster!" Sharpay yelled.
"Who you calling a monster?" Troy asked her.
"You." She mumbled.
"You guys just going to lie here all day?" Ryan asked them. (There still laying on them remember)
"That was our plan." Gabriella said raising her arm with her eyes closed.
"Well, it wasn't mine." Sharpay said. (ok the girls have there eyes closed lol)
"Come on, we have to do something." Zeke said,
"Well, I'm too tired." Kelsi said form under Chad.
"I have an idea!" Gabriella yelled opening her eyes.
"What?" Taylor said sticking her head out form under Ryan's arm.
"We could stay here all day." she said.
"Or we could clean…" Troy said. I looked at him like he was crazy.
"Have fun with that." I said to him.
"Yeah, what Chad said." Kelsi said.
"Girls get up." Zeke said.
"BLAAAAGH!" Gabriella yelled.
"Gabriella…" Ryan said.
"Gabriella isn't home!" she groaned.
"Will Kelsi be here tomorrow?" Kelsi asked half asleep.
"No Taylor said she's gone." Taylor said.
"Ok, tell Kelsi I said hi." Kelsi mumbled.
"Will, do." Taylor mumbled.
"You girls are crazy." I said getting up ad walking out of the room.
"Really taking in third person…" the guys said following me.
"So what do we do now?" I asked the guys.
"Beats me let's have a stay at home day."
"Or, we could go Christmas shopping. I still need to get mine done." Zeke suggested.
"He has a point. Let's go shopping!" Ryan said. So we headed out yelling to the girls that we were going.
"Ok, so let's get the girls done and then we can do each others gifts. (ok I am not going into what they got because I want it all to be a surprise:) hehe) after five hours of shopping we each came out of the stores with like…I don't know 5 to ten bags. Stuffing everything in the trunk we drove back to the Cabin. Luckily the girls weren't up yet so we all hid the gifts for our friends and families.
"Girls! Are you up?" Zeke yelled walking up the stairs. Five minutes later he came out.
"They up?" I asked.
"NO, but we are missing a smarty pance." Zeke said.
"Maybe she's showering." Ryan said.
"No I didn't hear any water running." He said shaking his head. I looked at Troy who looked worried.
"Well where is snowball and Matt?" I asked.
"Gone." Zeke said.
"Guys, hello it's called a walk. Snowball loves walks so maybe she took them out for a walk.
"Ok, fine, but if she isn't back in five minutes we're going out. Now I am going to go wrap those gifts up." Troy said heading to his room.
"wait do we have to wrap them?" I asked the guys.
"Yes, it's the Christmas spirit." I heard Gabriella say and then closing the fornt door.
"Hey where di you go?" I asked her.
"For a walk. I didn't take snowball out of the house so I decided to and I took Matt with me." She said unhooking their leashes.
"Well you better go check on lover boy. He's worried." I said.
"I will." She said hanging up her coat.
Gabriella's POV
I walked upstairs and into Troy's room. What I saw was so funny. He was trying to wrap a gift, but wasn't doing well. I walked up behind him.
"Need help?" I asked. He turned around and gave me a hug.
"Hey, how was your walk?"
"Great, now do you need help? Your wrapping is…not so well." I said eyeing the gift.
"Yes, but you may not help wrap a gift." He said taking a bag and putting it in the closet.
"Is it mine?" I asked me.
"Yup."
"Can I have a sneaky peaky?" I asked giving him my puppy face.
"No, you may not. Helpy pleasey." He said. I giggled as he used my "Y"s.
"Ok, so you wrap it like this, not like the way you were before." I said showing him how to wrap it. Next I put on a Green bow and wrote Zeke on it.
"There."
"Well, it doesn't look so simple. You were doing a lot of folding and cutting and tapping." Troy said starching his head.
"It's easy. I'll just show you one more time." I said to him. Again I put Sharpay's bag in a box and wrapped it. This time I showed him how to do it. He finished wrapping his gifts and every time he wasn't looking I tried to get a sneak at my gift, but he always caught me.
"Stop trying Gabriella. The meaning of gifts at Christmas is for a surprise." He said. I couldn't help, but smile.
"You got half of the meaning." I said hugging his arm as he wrote Mom on the box.
"Well I'm hanging out with people who are in love with Christmas so much." He said.
There was silence in the room for a while, but Troy broke it.
"Do you ever…um cry on Christmas because he died?" he asked me while I sat at "his" desk.
"Who my father?" I asked him,
"Yeah."
"Truth… I usually go to his grave either early in the morning or late at night to say to him and my mom." I said to him. It was the truth. I did think of him every December first.
"Well tomorrow is the ninth what do you want to do?" he asked me. He was awaking over to me and pulled me out of the chairs and held me in his arms.
"I have an idea, but it's a surprise." I said whispering to him.
"Is it?" he whispered back to me.
"Yes it is." I said closing my eyes.
"Ops. Sorry guys. We just wanted to get everyone down stairs for dinner." Ryan said.
"Ryan your always ruining our moments" Troy said laughing.
"Not my fault." He said putting his hands up and running downstairs.
"We'll continue this later." I said to him.
We went downstairs hand in hand. After dinner we took the left over cake, cupcakes and brownies into the living room and watch Harry potter on the 25 days of Christmas.
I guess we all fell asleep there because I don't remember going to bed….
