CHAPTER 7: YOU MADE A FOOL OF ME,TELL ME WHY?

GABI'S POV:

I had made it to Chad's house a little over ten minutes ago.

I'll give you a recap:

I ran.

Finally, I came to Chad's street. And I felt a flood of relief as I reached Chad's door. I rang the door bell a bigillion times.

Chad came bounding down the steps screaming " Hold your friggin horses sister."

He finally reached the door and flung it open.

"About time." He said as I walked in. " Its been like forever since we had brother/sister time. Jeez. But did you have to pick now of all times. I mean Tay is upstairs –" He finally stopped talking noticing I was on the verge of tears.

" Gabster?" He asked quietly in a voice that sent my tears over the rim of my eyes.

Chad sighed and closed the door leaving it unlocked knowing that I sent out the 911 to the gang. He scooped me up like I was a baby and carried me upstairs to Taylor. He laid me on the bed and before I blinked my head was in Taylors lap.

" Want to talk about it?" She asked while running her hand thru my hair, though deep down I knew she already knew who this was about.

"WHY? Why do I keep hurting myself over him? Huh? Am I just stupid because its obvious he doesn't give 2 blind----" I stopped talking to calm myself down. I took slow steady breaths and finally I was calm again.

" Gabster," Chad started to ask I could see the hesitation on his face, and I knew I would have to tell him sooner or later.

I sat up and grabbed my favorite pillow. It was a basketball pillow but what made it so special is that all of the gang signed it when we got it for Chad at our fifth grade culmination.

Then I started. " This morning after I walked away from the 'ATTACK OF THE QUESTIONS'" I paused to see Chad's frown split into a fourth of a grin, and to hear Taylor's giggle. " I had a little run in with Angela the Devil! She basically told me to stay away from Troy and she would ease up on me. Then she told me to stay away from him. I had come to terms it was best that I did."

Taylor and Chad both had looks of shock on their faces. I knew exactly what they were thinking: Gabi would never give in so easily.

" Aah, right you are my friends. I am in no way afraid of Angela. But lets face it Troy Alexander Bolton is not the same. He is not my best friend and I figured by the way he was acting it'd be much better for him this way. I mean he cant have his pie and eat his cake too. I am honestly to hurt right now to even consider him as a friend. But any way I am getting ahead of my self."

" So that's why you were avoiding Troy at all cost today." Chad said putting two and two together.

I laid back down feeling a cramp coming on in my calf but I continued anyway" Yeah but anyway, when the bell for last period to end rang he said 'now we can do this the easy way or the hard way brie.' I simple told him not to call me that it was very harsh actually." I stopped talking abruptly because all of a sudden Sharpay, Zeke, Ryan and Kelsie and filed in the room. I gave them the ghost of my smile.

Sharpie just laid down facing me she took my hand and looked into my eyes for a bit. See sharpie is like my twin she can read me so quick its kinda sad. She just silently cried for me and the pain I was going thru. After a few minutes of holding her Zeke came and took her and settled her in his lap.

" Gabster." Chad simply said I only nodded my head and continued.

" After that I ran all the way to my car. But when I was pulling out I noticed that he was following me. So he followed me all the way home. I almost made it, I was only four paces away but the bloody jerk caught me and threw me over his shoulder and put me in his truck we drove into town and he kept question words. I pleaded with him to spit it out inside my head of course." I stopped again because Jason and Martha walked in completing the group.

Once they got situated Chad simply nodded his head I can tell he was getting p-o'd at the interruptions. I gave him a ghost of a smile and continued. " SO finally he asked me what was going on. I said nothing. Then the bloody jerk off said to me ' Really so our relationship means that little to you Brie?' I lost it I started yelling at him and right when I was about to tell him about Angela, the breaking free ringtone started ringing."

Everybody in the room gasped.

Then I heard Kelsi say " No way in bloody hell. Gabi that old fart didn't, I know he didn't. He just couldn't." She rambled on getting quieter by the millisecond.

" Yes. Yes he did. He gave the ringtone to someone else guys. My heart is completely numb at the moment. And you want to know who he gave it to?"

Everybody already seemed to know.

" Angela." I said it so quietly I barely even head myself.

It was dead silent. I figured I should finish the story.

And so you're back to where I left off.

" So when he answered it he had to pull over because the dumb jerk off left it at home. So I gathered all my stuff and when I was sure he wasn't paying any attention to me I made a run for it. And, well here I am shattered but not broken. Wounded but time will heal. Who knows there's lots of guys at East High. Maybe Even Sean." I let out a ghost of a giggle after I was done. Bye the time I was thru the door was thrown open.

There stood a very frantic Sean " Where's my baby girl?" He asked.

Chadster smiled and pointed to me. Sean was at my side in seconds.

" You ok Flirt #1?" He asked with so much concern in his eyes.

I nodded and kissed his cheek and said " Calm down flirt# 2, Sharpie, Taylor, and I are all going down to the kitchen and Chadster here is gonna fill you all in on your way down to the den. Then we're all gonna watch a movie because 'We are a family' Then for the first time in over 8 hours I smiled A Gabster smile when I heard Chadster say " Oh no not Dream girls again" On my way out the room.

After Tay, Sharpie and Me had a good cry in the kitchen we got snacks for the movie and headed back to the den.

We all started the movie after Chad filled everybody in on what happened.

Chad and Taylor were in the love chair that we named pinky even though its leather and black.

Sharpie and Zeke were spooning on the ground in front of me and sear we were on this huge love sack.

Ryan and Martha Were seated in front of the couch. And Kelsi and Jason were on the couch.

Right in the middle of one of my favorite songs the door bell rang a bagillion times. Somebody paused the movie. We all stopped and looked at one another. We all knew there was only one other person who knew the doorbell ring. And he wasn't exactly a favorite at the moment.

"troy."

Me and Chad got up to go and check to make sure it wasn't some random girl scout. I peeked out the peep hole. And sure enough there he stood.

" I say we don't let him in Gabster." Chad said almost yelling.

I laughed out loud. " Now, now Chadster. Two wrongs don't make a right. But I totally agree with you." I yelled back and then counted to 5.

5.

Next thing I heard was Troys new ringtone for my phone I caught myself by paramore. And I set it as the ringback too.

All you heard throughout the house was the ringtone"You got it. You got it. Some kind of Magic. .You're leaving me breathless. I hate this. I hate 're not the one I believe in."

I heard Troy gasp from the other side of the door.

" Yep mofo I changed it."

I pressed the answer button.

" Bolton."

" Can you please let me in."

" Fine ."

However when I opened the door I discovered he was not alone. I wanted to slap but I figured I would just kill the stupid creature with kindness.

" Hey Angela." I said politely. Then I turned to Troy. " Bolton we're all in the living room. I'm sure you can at least remember the way there."

" Look Gabi." When he notice I had no intention to look at him, its like he finally notice something had gone terribly wrong between us. " Can you at least look at me."

" No." I said it softly. And continued back to the den.

When Troy walked in he the Den he said " Hey everybody." Nobody responded so when and Angela sat on the couch with Martha and Ryan.

Ryan screamed and hopped over Martha.

I started to laugh so hard. Chadster of course had my back. He was laughing hard two.

And he crawled over to in between the love sack and the love seat. Martha jumped up and Ran to the same spot.

Kelsi rolled under the coffee table and lay in front of the love seat.

When we saw Kelsi literally roll under the table we lost it. And this time is was Sharpay, Zeke, Sean , Me, Taylor, and the Chadster.

Jason got up and walked over to where Kelsi was resumed there position.

But what shut the six of us up was when Jason was getting comfortable he said the area he already relaxed in was tainted.

" Jason?" I questioned. Everybody was staring at him with disbelief. " O M G!"

Then all 10 of us started laughing so hard that we were all crying.

Then the wicked witch of the East said " Are we like… gonna like…watch the movie or like….no?"

Sharpie rolled her eyes then pressed play.

When the song " It's All Over." Came on I couldn't help but laugh out loud at the irony.

At first the gang looked at me like I had lost it but then slowly 1 by 1 they all started laughing.

" Aahh, don't you just love family?"

Finally I think Troy caught on too. I mean I kind of forgot he use to be a part of the gang too.

He got up. And he friggin paused the movie right before my favorite song.

" Yep. He's definitely not my best friend anymore. Any best friend of mine would know stopping Dreamgirls before 'And I am Telling You' is a death wish."

" Okay somebody want to tell me what the hell is going on? I mean this is ridiculous." Troy said.

" Me and Ang" "Barf" "feel like the outsiders."

" That's because you are." Taylor said under her breath. Causing us to snigger.

" This is ridiculous guys. We're coming over there right now."

Troy and the Witch came and sat by us. This was one time in my life I was gonna miss my favorite Dreamgirls song.

" You know what I'm kinda parched. Im gonna go get some refreshment. Flirt #2. You're coming wit me." I said as I got up then I pulled Sean up.

" Oooh. I like'em feisty." He said. I burst out laughing.

" C'mon lover boy."

Not 10 seconds later Sharpay and Zeke came running in the Kitchen.

" Upstairs now." She whispered to me.

I only nodded and took the back way up to Chad's room.

" Ok what's the plan?"

I asked the other 9.

And that's just what we did.

Of course Troy noticed right away. He had hurt and confusion lingering behind his eyes.

" Ha, welcome to my friggin world Troy, well person that's in Troy's body."

" Every body know that's my brie baby." I heard Sean say. But all I could see is Darkness.

" What the heck? The last thing I remember is singing along to " One Night Only" and crying myself to sleep. Oh no. I let my friggin emotions get the best of me. Ugh. Gabi. Smart thing to do. I thought we were done crying for now."

I opened my eyes and smiled at Sean.

"Hey Flirt."

" Hey baby girl."

" Ah- hem."

I knew it was Troy but I don't give a rats tail.

" So, what are we about to watch now?"

" Hairspray." I heard the Chadster say.

" Oh my favorite!" I yell.

I hop off Sean and dive in between Sharpie and Tay.

" Good Morning Baltiomore!" We all sung.

" Um like, Isabella, like go get me some lemonade." The witch spoke to me for the first time.

I looked to my right.

" Ok. Chick first of all the name is GABRI-ella. Second do you honestly think I'm gonna let you tell me what to do."

I heard the movie pause in the background.

" Well you sure did listen earlier."

" Oh hell Naw." Sharpie said taking her earrings off.

" Does she not know who she's talking to." Tay said, she was doing the same thing Sharpie was doing.

" No leave her to me." I whispered, then I spoke much louder. " Turn the movie back on."

I made it all the way to The Cornie Collins Show and then my anger came out.

I don't remember how but I blinked and I had Angela against the wall and my hand was pressed against her throat.

" Alright Witch. I want you to listen and listen well." I said, a very low voice taking the place of my usual chipper and quiet voice. " The only two reasons I didn't rearrange your face to the point of no return this morning is because number one you really aren't worth it. And number two Troy is happy with you and I'm only letting him go so it can be easy on him. But right now I have no problem with rearranging your face right now because you just over stepped your boundaries. And that THING right there," I stopped and pointed at Troy who was shocked. " I don't even know him any more so I don't give a damn about how he feels about your new make over. Now I suggest you leave me the hell alone Angela, because I've had the worst day of my life lost one of my best friends and I'm tired from running. So if you wanna stay after this I also suggest you go sit by your asshole of a boyfriend and shut the hell UP!"

After I was done I stormed up to the room to calm down, every body knew not to come mess with me while I was calming down.

After about 5 minutes I came back down the steps and I walked over to Sean and sat down on his lap.

Not 5 minutes after I had officially got back into the movie it was paused.

" Bolton! what the hell do you want now?!?!?" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

" Brie Shut Up!" He screamed at me. " WHAT YOU JUST DID TO ANGIE WAS SO …I CANT EVEN DESCRIBE. ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS GET HER A DRINK MONTEZ. DAMN GROW UP! STOP THINKING ABOUT 'RE SO SELFISH."

" Alright Bolton… I'm sorry alright." I said in a calm voice but I was burning up on the inside. " I'll get the chick a lemonade. And I'll get you a drink to. Coke Right?"

He smiled. " I'd like that."

I nodded to Sharpay as to say 'get ready to take me home'. Then I ran out the room and upstairs and grabbed my bag and made sure I had everything. Then I ran back downstairs and into the kitchen and got to to-go cups and poured coke and lemonade.

"Here you are." I said standing behind Troy and Angela. When they looked up at me I poured their drinks on them. Then when the liquid was out I threw the cup. " Sorry bout the carpet Chadster tell mom I'm coming to clean it tomorrow. You ready Shar?"

The gang was now in tears from laughing so hard Sharpie just nodded her head and grabbed Zeke's hand.

" C'mon Ry. Martha you want a ride?"

Martha could only nod because she was still laughing.

I walked over and hugged Tay and Chad.

Then I turned on my heel and started towards the door.

" Brie you should've seen his face."Sharpie said on our way out the door. I had to laugh.

I was crying myself to sleep when I heard the familiar tap on my balcony door.

I went and opened it in tears. " Troy go away. Angela will not be happy with you here. And frankly I don't know about us anymore we haven't been best friends since that night of the sleep over. Why? Troy. You know what never mind I get it you used me, whatever. Just leave. Wait." I turned around and gave him his letters man jacket and his hoodies and last the hardest thing the "T" Necklace.

"Brie. Talk to me." He said.

"I'm sorry Troy Boy we can still be friends but not close. I don't think Angela wants us so close. And I really cant blame her. Listen our last sleep over was the last time. I cant do it anymore. It hurts so bad Troy. It hurts so bad." I say close to sobbing.

" Well I'm in a relationship Gabi. I know it was our last time. But what hurts what are you talking about?"

" Good night Troy." I shut the door and locked it. And then I closed the curtain and crawled in bed and sobbed myself to sleep with only one thought on my mind.

" I'm such a coward. I'm so dumb. Why? Because Troy Bolton was my first and my everything but I was truly never anything to him."
