Chapter 14

Last time

"Did you accept it?"

"Umm…"

"Troy! Did you take the damn scholarship?!" I asked really ticked.

"Yeah, I did…" My mouth dropped. I couldn't believe it, he took the offer! Did he forget about the promise or something? Or is that more important than me? As I looked around the room, everyone had their mouths open, even his parents! I felt tears coming to my eyes. I was hurt, sad, angry and confused.

"Anyone gonna say anything? Aren't you guys happy for me?" I couldn't take it. I got up and walked up to him.

"Congrats" I said bitterly. I left the room and stomped upstairs. I slammed the door shut.

Downstairs

"How could you take offer? Chad asked as he got and left.

"I thought you loved Gabi" Sharpay said as she also got up and left, followed by the others.

"Mom, Dad?" Troy asked as he looked at them.

"You accepted it?" Jack asked still in shock.

"I thought you wanted to be with Gabriella" Katherine asked.

"How come everything revolves around Gabi? I'm the one who got the scholarship!"

"Troy, stop thinking about yourself" Jack said, "How do you think Gabriella feels for her true love to go to a school across the country from her?" Jack stomped out of the room and up the stairs to where Gabriela was.

"I thought you guys would be happy for me. I got into YALE! I mean it's YALE!" Troy sighed.

"We are happy for you, but you're gonna regret going. You're gonna miss Chad, Sharpay, Zeke and his cookies," They both laughed, "And you're really gonna miss Gabriella."

"I already took it though. I can't back out now." Troy sighed, "They all hate me now."

"No, they don't hate you, maybe disappointed, but they don't literally hate you."

Upstairs with Gabs

I can't believe he took it! Was I forgotten in those few minutes while he was on the phone? I can hear Sharpay and Chad knocking on the door begging for me to come out, even Jack. But I'm not coming out. I started packing my things that I had. I'll sleepover at Shar's instead. All of a sudden my phone rang. I took it out of my pocket and answered it.

"Hello?"

"Hey Gabs, I'm sorry, really sorry. Can you please talk to me?" A familiar voice said on the other line.

"I don't know Troy, you hurt me."

"I know I did, I know. I was stupid okay? I was stupid. Please, just let me in." Troy begged.

"Fine" I was about to open the door when a knock was hit on my balcony. I turned around and saw Troy standing there. I ran over and opened the door.

"I'm sorry." He said as he immediately walked in.

"How could you?" I asked still mad.

"I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking."

"Yeah, you weren't."

"Brie, I'm sorry okay?! What else do you want from me?"

"Sorry doesn't fix that you're going to be going to school across the country from me!" I yelled

"What else do you want me to do?!" He said as he raised his voice.

"There's nothing you can do! You'll be gone in a few months, maybe weeks! I won't be able to see you anymore!"

"You will see me! On Holidays! I love you Gabs, I never meant to hurt you!" He didn't mean to hurt me?! What that fuck was that!

"You never meant to hurt me? Troy for heavens sake! You didn't have to but you did. And we can't do anything about it. And another thing! If you did love me, you would have thought of me first then to accept the offer! If you cared about me, you would have said no to the offer!" I yelled, "You don't know how much I hate you right now! You broke my promise and my heart!"

"Gabs! I thought you'd understand why I accepted!"

"Oh I understand very well! I understand that you probably didn't want to pay! Save up for a new car! Yea, I understand very well!" I yelled

"No Gabs! It's not like that!" Troy had tears in his eyes.

"Troy, I don't think I can be with you anymore! We're over!" I sobbed, "JUST LEAVE!"

"No Gabs!" Troy was also crying too. I felt horrible, but I had to do it. I didn't want a long distance relationship.

"I'm sorry Troy." I said as my voice softened. I went over to him and hugged him, "I'm sorry, but I can't be with you anymore. I don't want a long distance relationship." Troy kissed my head.

"I'm sorry too. Really, I am. I was stupid for accepting the offer; I should have either talked to you first, or just said no. But Gabs, it was YALE!" Since he put it that way, it seems like he wanted to go there no matter what.

"It seems like I've been pulling you down." I said. Troy looked at me confused.

"What do you mean?"

"It's just that, whenever you get something really good, you turn it down for me. But I don't know what happened today, I was here, but you took it anyways."

"I just wasn't thinking, I guess, I was just over excited to be accepted into Yale, that I forgot. I am really, really sorry Brie."

"I just couldn't believe my ears when you said you accepted it." I said, "Troy, have you noticed, that I put down all the good stuff just to stay here, with you?" I asked

"Yeah, I remember"

"Like, when I could have gone into a way better middle school, but I went with you to East Middle School. I could have gone into a better high school than East High. I said no to a holiday my mom wanted to take to Disneyland, because you weren't allowed to go. I didn't accept that video game, because you weren't allowed to get it. I didn't go to the best party of the year, because you were sick and I stayed with you. Why couldn't you have just done this one thing to not go? You would have made up for all the ones I gave up for. Just for you. But I guess not." Tears were pouring out of my eyes at rapid speed.

"Now, I just feel even guiltier. Again, I am very sorry Brie. Very sorry" I kissed him softly.

"When are you leaving?" I asked out of curiosity.

"Umm, in a few weeks" He said sadly. In a few weeks!? We don't have much time together than.

"You only have a few more weeks left?" He nodded, "You can't even stay the whole summer?"

"No, they want me to get use to the place, so I have to go and get settled in." Tears formed in my eyes again. "Hey, hey, don't cry, I'll call whenever I can, okay?"

"Promise?" I seriously don't know why I'm making more promises with him.

"Yeah, I promise."

"I can't believe you'll be leaving soon. I'll miss you so much!" I said as I threw my arms around his neck. He kissed me passionately.

"Come on, lets go down" He said as we pulled back. He grabbed my hand and we walked down the stairs. Once we got down, everyone turned their heads at us.

"Golden boy actually showed his face?" Chad said bitterly.

"Dude, okay, I was stupid for taking it okay!? I get it! You all hate me."

"But, I still can't believe you took it" Sharpay said.

"Yeah, me neither" Zeke agreed.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking."

"I guess its okay; we will miss you a lot though." Chad said.

"I'll miss you guys too, a lot" He hugged everyone and we sat down. We hung out the rest of the night. We were all getting ready to leave when Troy gave me a confused look.

"Aren't you staying here tonight?"

"No, I'm just gonna stay at Shar's. Tell my mom I'm at Shar's if she asks. Bye!" I kissed his cheek and we left.

With Troy and his Parents

"Is she still mad at me?" Troy asked to no one in particular.

"I'm sure she is Troy, she won't recover that fast." Jack said.

"I know, but, I just wish that I never accepted that scholarship." Troy said sadly.

"It's okay son. She'll soon forget about it" Jack walked away.

"I hope so" Troy said under his breath.

At Sharpay's

"Do you forgive him Gabs?" Taylor asked. The whole gang, minus Troy, was at Shar's house.

"No, of course I wouldn't, well, atleast not yet."

"Me neither" Chad said. Everyone else agreed.

"I actually think I can ever forgive him" I said after a few minutes.

"Really?" Sharpay asked surprised. I nodded

"Yeah, I mean…I don't know." I said. I really didn't know… "My futures ruined."

"Huh? Why?" Taylor asked confused.

"I always pictured Troy in my future. Us going to school together, us getting married, us having kids and all of us working at East High."

"Yeah, and little Troy and little Gabriella." Chad said.

"Yeah, the girl was daddy's little princess and the boy was mama's boy." Kelsi said

"They both had blue eyes and the boy had Troy's hair, brown and blonde hair, and the girl had your wavy brown hair." Sharpay said. I nodded.

"Yeah" I sighed. All my friends looked at me sympathetically.

"Its okay, Gabster" Chad said, "You'll see him again, in the future" Everyone nodded.

"Thanks guys" We all hugged.

"Let's get some sleep, it's late" Taylor said. We got in our sleeping bags and fell asleep.
