Secret Lovers
Chapter 2
It's a week after Troy and Gabriella's 1 year and a half anniversary and Gabriella's mum has been sent to New York by her work to oversee a case.
Gabriella is on the phone to her on her walk home from school.
"I love you sweetheart" says her mum
"Yes mum I love you too" says Gabriella
"And your ok at home?" asks her mum
"Yes I'm fine at home" answers Gabriella
"You're not going to stay at Troy's at all in the next two weeks?" asks her mum
"No I'm not staying there expect the weekends" says Gabriella
"Why not I'd feel a lot safer if you did" says her mum
"You know why. So would I and so would Troy but I walk to school with Taylor it would be completed to explain to her wait no it wouldn't because, one we're not speaking and two the Bolton's are family friends" answers Gabriella
"So everything is going to be ok?" asks her mum
"Yes mum you got your wish I'm staying at Troy's if Lucille and Jack will have me" says Gabriella
"I'm sure they will I've gotta go hunny but take care love you" says her mum
"Love you too mum" says Gabriella
They both hang up. Gabriella sighs and then rings the doorbell to Troy's house as a car pulls up behind her.
"We really need to give you a set of keys" says a voice
Gabriella's face breaks into a smile at the sound of her boyfriend's voice and she turns. Troy opens his arms.
"Come here Brie" says Troy
Gabriella runs into his arms just as his mum opens the door. Gabriella looks up and smiles at Lucille.
"I've just got of the phone with your mum. I'm going to go make the spare bed up now" says Lucille and the disappearing back into the house.
"You're staying here" says Troy
Gabriella nods.
"Let's go to yours and get your things" says Troy
Gabriella nods again.
"Brie what's up?" asks Troy
"Nothing" whispers Gabriella
"Oh of course I'm stupid it's the day your dad passed I'll go tell mum we're going and we'll go visit him ok" says Troy
Gabriella nods with tears in her eyes.
Troy grabs hold of her hand and leads her inside and upstairs to his mum.
"Mum, Brie and me are going out. We're getting Brie's things and paying her dad a visit" says Troy
"Ok. Be back by dinner" says Lucille
"We will" says Troy leading Gabriella back to his car.
"No how about a proper hello" says Troy
Gabriella shakes her head and Troy pulls her into his arms.
"Come on let's go see him" says Troy
Troy and Gabriella go to the graveyard.
Gabriella speaks to her dad. Then her and Troy go to her house and she's collects the things she will need for the fortnight clothes, her toiletries, her laptop and various chargers for appliances such as her laptop, Iphone and Ipod. Then they go to Troy's.
In the spare room turning on the TV. It's on the news channel as it was this morning.
"The terrorists in New York are yet to caught but the blazes at the New York Lawyers office caused by the bomb that went of just over an hour ago have been controlled and put out. Some far there are 43 dead and over a hundred injured" says the news reader
"Your mum got off the phone just before the bomb so we don't know if mum's ok or not" says Gabriella
"There a list, she's on the injured list" says Troy
"Oh thank goodness" says Gabriella
"Do you want to phone the hospital and see if how bad she is?" asks Troy
"I'm sure they'll phone me" says Gabriella
Her phone rings an hour later during dinner with an unknown number.
Gabriella looks at it and bites her lip nervously.
"Answer it" says Lucille
"Hello" says Gabriella picking up
"Hello this is the New York Presbyterian Hospital. Is this Gabriella Montez?" the person
"This is she" says Gabriella
"We have your mother here, she's got a broken right arm and concussion but other than that she got out lucky" says the person on the other end
"When will she be able to come home?" asks Gabriella getting up from the table and going upstairs to the spare room.
"We're keeping her in over night for observation and then she will be discharged in the morning and she said she was going to a different lawyers office to finish something and would be home on Thursday" says the person
"Am I able to talk to her?" asks Gabriella
"She's asleep at the moment do you want me to wait her?" asks the person
"No leave her she'll need her rest but can you tell I love her and I'm glad she's ok?" asks Gabriella
"I will yes" says the person
"Thank you" says Gabriella
"It no problem" says the person
"Bye" says Gabriella
"Your mum has just woken up do you want to speak to her?" asks the person
"Can I? It's not a problem is it?" asks Gabriella
"Not a problem at all we've been doing this all afternoon for the lawyers" says the person "Here she is now"
"Hello" says a voice
"Mum" says Gabriella
"Gabby are you ok? Are you at Troy's? Is he looking after you?" asks her mum
"Mum stop worrying about me and worry about yourself you're the one who needs to get better" says Gabriella
"I know but I'm your mother I'm prone to worrying" says her mum
"I know I'm fine I'm at Troy's and he's looking after me" says Gabriella
"I'm glad" says her mum yawing
"You're tired so I'll see you Thursday" says Gabriella
"Ok" says her mum
"Bye mum I love you and glad you're ok" says Gabriella
"Bye love you too sweetheart" says her mum
They both hang up.
Gabriella leaves her phone upstairs and goes back downstairs. She observers the family from the doorway before they notice her. Troy goes to stand up.
"She's fine. Troy we're picking her up from the airport Thursday" says Gabriella
Troy nods
"What are her injuries?" asks Lucille going into nurse mode
"Lucille you're not at work" says Jack
"I know" says Lucille
"She's got a broken right arm and concussion there keeping her in over night for observation and then she's coming home Thursday" says Gabriella
"We're going to have to park pretty close to the airport" says Troy
"We've got school Thursday" says Gabriella
"I'll go" says Lucille
"I'll phone the hospital and tell them" says Gabriella getting up from her seat and going back upstairs.
"Hello" says the person on the other end
"Hello this Gabriella Montez you phoned a few moments ago regarding my mum Maria Montez I afraid that I am unable to pick her up from the airport on Thursday and that my boyfriend's mum Lucille Bolton will be picking up her. Can you get a message to her?" asks Gabriella
"Of course" says the person
"I was also wondering what flight she was on?" asks Gabriella
"She's on the 11.40am flight that arrives in Albuquerque at 5.10pm" says the person
"Ok in that case then it doesn't matter because I will be picking her up" says Gabriella
"Ok" says the person
"Bye thank you for your help" says Gabriella
"Bye your welcome" says the person
They hang up.
Gabriella goes back downstairs.
"She's on the 11.40am flight that gets into Albuquerque at 5.10pm so Troy and I can get her" says Gabriella
"Oh can you go on your own babe I've got basketball practice with the guys at 5" says Troy
"Sure Lucille would you be able to come?" asks Gabriella
"Yes" says Lucille
"I really need to get a car" says Gabriella
"Why when you have me to chauffeur you about" says Troy
"Because of times that this that involve people who don't know about us because of the cliques at school" says Gabriella
"Hey don't blame me for that" says Troy
"I'm not I'm blaming the king of the school who at the beginning on the first day of East High's day decided it was a good idea" says Gabriella
"Hey is that my fault?" asks Troy
"No" says Gabriella
"Then why are you having a go at me?" asks Troy
"Because you're the king the of the school and you should do something about it" says Gabriella
"I don't have control over the whole school Brie" says Troy
"Yeah but everyone loves you so you should be able to do something" snaps Gabriella and she runs up to the spare room.
"Leave her for a while Troy" says Lucille
Troy's phone buzzes in his pocket. He pulls it out and checks it.
Hey hoops wanna come shoot hoops at mine cheerleaders here then we can head to a house party that Jeff Mills is throwing.
Chad

Troy
Troy turns his phone of after he has sent that text.
Next day.
"Yo Hoops what was up with snarky text yesterday?" asks Chad
"Just hectic at home I needed to stay there and help mum" says Troy
"With what?" asks Chad
"Has anyone told you that you are so nosy?" asks Troy
Chad stands and thinks about it and doesn't see Troy turn round and walk off and disappear though a door.
"No" says Chad turning to Troy and seeing Taylor McKessie walk past and give him a funny look.
"What no I'm not talking to myself Troy was stood there" says Chad
"Yeah I saw him he ditched you" says Taylor
"He's being doing that recently there's something going on with him and why am I telling you this you're a geek" says Chad
"Well you're an airheaded basketball player" says Taylor
"Is this girl bothering you?" asks a cheerleader
"Cindy I can handle her" says Chad
"It's Lauren" says the cheerleader and walks off annoyed
"You knew it was Lauren didn't you" says Taylor
"I love winding her up" says Chad laughing
"Weird anyway I'm of to lunch bye" says Taylor
"Bye" says Chad
Taylor walks off.
Chad walks off to the gym to see if Troy is there, when he finds he isn't he goes to the cafeteria to eat lunch.
With Troy.
He's sat on the bench in the rooftop garden.
"Hey wildcat. Thought I'd find you up here" says a voice
Troy turns and sees Gabriella. "I thought you where angry at me" says Troy
"I'm sorry I got angry at you about the whole cliques thing" says Gabriella
"It's ok your right I pretty much rule the school" says Troy
"But the students aren't always going to listen to you. The Scholastic Decathlon team for one aren't they hate you" says Gabriella
"Bar one gorgeous member" says Troy
"Ok bar me but only because I love you" says Gabriella
"I love you too babe" says Troy
"It's ok Troy honestly. We'll get round it" says Gabriella
"Are you sure?" asks Troy
"I'm more then sure" says Gabriella
Troy kisses her.
Troy stands up and helps Gabriella up with him
"Ready to go to lunch m'lady?" asks Troy
"Ready" laughs Gabriella
Troy and Gabriella walk down the stairs together and then go there separate ways.
