Chapter 7

Forgive is Forgotten

I knew what I did was wrong. And I knew I wasn't the person to seek revenge, but my emotions have gotten me crazy this past trip. It had only been a few days and I messed with everyone to get them mad or either pissed at my actions. After I left the room I ran to the closets room i could find. And this hotel had many private storage rooms. I opened my cell phone and saw a text from Taylor:

Come back i sorted everything out.

Tay

I wasn't sure if I should leave my safe hiding place but I did I ran to the elevator and pressed my floor. I walked in to see Taylor sitting on the floor. I was unsure to sit by her but when she patted the floor next to her I decided it was safe.

"I'm not mad." She finally said her tone light and forgiving.

"I'm sorry I can't think straight anymore." I sobbed beside her and she rubbed my back. I search the room and saw that Chad wasn't there I could tell she saw what I had been doing and answered my question. "He followed Troy."

Suddenly her phone rang that startled both of us, after the third ring she answered. "Where are you Chad?" I automatically knew who it was and listened to his faint voice while she just nod her head to Chad commands. "Hold on I'll tell Gabi." I heard his surprise and the line grew quiet with only his breathing on the other end.

"He found Troy but we have to stay quiet, he is in a closet on the first floor. Chad hears him crying from down the hall." she paused and listened to the phone. I felt sorry for him. What had I done? I thought. "Were going to listen while Chad puts it on speaker phone." I nodded and she began talking to him once more. She mouthed the words quiet and I just stared at the phone. I could hear Chad grow closer until I heard a knock.

"Troy boy." He called but he wasn't answering. I waited patiently to hear his voice but nothing blank silence. "I know you're in there." Suddenly the creaked open i heard his slow rhythmic breathing.

"Cant a guy is alone in a broom closet." Troy's voice spoke; it wasn't like his normal light toned voice but weak and fragile.

"Troy why are you here. Gabi said sorry." I flinched at my name and sighed lightly to stop me from having another panic attack.

"She kissed you dude. I thought she liked me back. If she could here me right now I would say sorry for blabbing about her dream I mean it was stupid to yell at her like that." He complained for a minute or two and my tears were falling faster as he went on with his explanation I didn't know if i could hang on to my silence I wanted to yell into the phone with my apology.

"I know but i am sure she regrets it more than you. If you knew Gabi well, she would have done that to you on purpose if she loved you back. Mistakes happen at least she didn't do it behind your back."

"Worst she did it right in front of me." He groaned loudly into the speaker. Chad was probably sitting beside him now.

"Okay dude if you're willing to give up a love like her I feel sorry. Your living here a single man still hating her while I will leave here the happiest man cause I learned that Taylor isn't half bad as I thought she was." I saw Taylor blushing as i just sat on the floor hyperventilating. My mistake wasn't going to be fixed and I now have to deal with my consequence I got up off the floor and walked to the bathroom and washed my face.

"Your right man i should go back and just hug her and tell her I love her more than anything." Taylor stood up quickly I couldn't hear the whole thing but I made out a few words.

"Gabi." She yelled probably into the phone that they could hear and of course Chad groaned and Troy was frantic.

"You were on the phone the whole time. Traitor." I heard the door slam hard and the phone went dead.

I stayed in the bathroom collapsing on the floor. I heard the door open and I knew Chad would be angry but I couldn't hear yelling. Taylor whispered lightly saying sorry for her actions and hearing things she shouldn't have. The door knob shock and I could expect a knock any second. It was true a faint knock tapped on the oak door.

"Gabriella." He spoke and I heard who it was. I was expecting Chad but it was Troy and all his glory.

"What do you want?" I said harshly which I shouldn't have he was the one mad not me.

"Can i come in and can we talk?" I unlocked the door and he entered with stained cheeks as well. He shut and locked the door behind him I wondered why he needed to do that. He just sat on the floor looking at me and holding my shaky hand.

"So what?" I said trying not to look at him.

"Sorry for everything." He pulled my face towards his blue eyes an I just stared listening. "I know you didn't mean anything you did and i was the one who forced you to do such a dumb act."

"I should be sorry. I was the one who made up my mid to do that." He hugged me tightly and I could feel his breathe against my neck.

"Did you hear everything I said earlier on the phone."

I was to shy to confess but this was a moment of forgiving and forgetting so i decided to give it a go. "Yes. But the end was unclear I left to come here.

"Then i will say it again. I love you Gabriella Montez." I felt new tear slide down my cheek and he wiped them away with his thumb. I couldn't believe he loved me and he confessed his love for me in a bathroom for all places it was hear but I didn't care and answered him back.

"I love you too, Troy."

The end of the week went by quickly. No of us were fighting anymore. We actually became good friends. Taylor was again talking to Chad non stop since that incident. And me and Troy were cuddled up on the plane together going back home. I felt safe in his arms as the plane started to descend for landing I looked into his eyes and smiled that i was home and a new era could begin at East High. No more groups or clicks just plain happiness.

"Brie." He said holding my hand tightly. "Could we wait a while before we make our relationship public?" I was shocked on all levels but I knew it was best for him. I mean he was the star of the school it would take time for us to get used to things. I nodded in agreement and tilted my head to his shoulder. So long to open relationships.

So how is it? It took me so long to come up with an idea so here it is and I am starting Shadowland after this. I promise after I think two years. Long I know but I hope I still have fans.
