"You wanna know who I am?" the blonde said rudely, "I'm his girlfriend!"
Gabriella stared at Troy, her eyes like daggers. Before Troy could say anything, Gabriella out the doors of the mall.
"Gabi! Wait!" Troy yelled, but the brunette was already out of sight
---
Gabriella angrily slammed the door behind her as she walked into her empty house. She was furious with Troy! He was after her when he already had a girlfriend. This hurt Gabriella deeply. Her phone had rung a multiple times as she had runaway from the shopping center. She had painfully chosen to ignore it.
Gabriella was interrupted in her thoughts as Jet came waddling into the living room where Gabi was. She sighed as she walked over to the corner and pulled out the vacuum cleaner. She'd try to get Troy out of her mind.
Gabriella slowly walked up to Julie's room and turned the vacuum on, unconsciously pushing it here and there. She snapped out of her thoughts as she felt the vacuum cleaner hit something hard under the bed, trying to suck something up.
Gabriella sighed as she turned it off and reached under the bed. She felt something square and pulled it out. She groaned when she saw that it was her old scrap book. The Triplets must have gotten it during the night when they saw her and Troy sleeping on her bed!
Gabriella slowly opened to her favorite page with the picture of her and Troy poising together next to a lake. 'We used to be so close together! She thought as she ran her finger over Troy's face in the picture.
Gabriella spent the rest of the day looking into the scrape book which she had not seen in years.
"He's probably with that blondie right now…" Gabriella muttered as she closed the scrapbook and headed down stairs.
She put the scrapbook back in its original place and slumped onto the couch, wondering what to do. She stood up when she heard the bus honk outside.
Gabi rushed out of the door and ran over to the three triplets who were dropped off and heading towards her. She smiled as Joshua and Nathan tried hard to push Julie's wheelchair in the right way.
"How were daycare today kids?" Gabi asked smiling, approaching her kids.
"Great mommy!" Joshua said happily.
"But mommy, where's Troy?" Julie asked disappointed.
"Um…he left to his next game." Gabriella lied through her teeth.
"Why? He didn't even say goodbye!" Nathan yelled.
He ran into the house, extremely disappointed, following with Joshua and Julie trying her best to wheel her chair into the house. Gabriella sighed as she saw Joshua and Nathan running up the stairs. Julie had just started and was slowly crawling up, abandoning her wheel chair.
"How could Troy leave so quickly?" Joshua shouted angrily, slamming himself on Julie's bed.
"But I don't think he really left! He would of said goodbye!" Nathan shouted.
Julie was slowly sliding into the room, with a frown on her face. She reached under the bed. Her eyes widened when she felt an empty space.
"It's gone!" Julie yelled.
"What?" Joshua asked rubbing his head.
"The scrapbook! Mommy must have found it!" Julie said.
"But it doesn't make sense, why did she take it?" Nathan asked curiously.
"I think that mommy and Troy REALLY liked each other…" Julie said.
The triplets sat up in the bed as they heard the door slam.
---
Gabriella groaned and slumped onto the couch, not even closing the door.
"Why did you have to leave?" Gabriella said out loud to herself.
"I don't know either…"
Gabi stood up abruptly to see Troy at the doorway. He slammed the door shut which made Gabi gulp.
"What do you want Bolton?" Gabriella snapped.
"You…" Troy said quietly.
"Gabs, she's not my girlfriend…" Troy said.
"Safe the excuses; I don't wanna her them!" Gabriella growled.
"But just let me explain!" Troy said desperately.
"No Troy, I've given you a chance and there you lie to me…Troy, I think that you should go back…" Gabriella said firmly.
"Why Gabi? I love you!" Troy yelled desperately.
"It's clear that you've moved on! I did the same!" Gabriella shot back.
"I never moved on Gabi!" Troy shouted.
"Then why didn't you even try to call me? Try to contact me?!" Gabriella yelled.
Troy became silent.
"From now on, go back to your own life and leave me and my kids alone!" Gabriella yelled painfully.
"They're my kids to Gabi!" Troy exploded.
"You are?" came a small voice.
Gabriella knew exactly who had said that, she turned around to see the triplets, eyes widened. Troy was also looking and he knew that he had made the truth slip out. Gabriella groaned from frustrating and ran out of the house.
"Gabi!" Troy yelled, running after her.
The triplets stood there, very confused and scared.
---
Gabriella ran and ran until she couldn't stop. It had started to rain and she was soaking wet, shivering from the cold. She stopped and slumped onto the sidewalk, weary from running so hard.
"Hello…" came a voice.
Gabi looked up fearfully to see a man with a sinister smile.
"G-go away…" Gabi said, knowing that it wouldn't do any good.
"What's a pretty girl like you doing alone in the rain?" the man said, swiftly grabbing her wrist.
"L-let me go!" Gabriella yelled, trying to pry herself loose from the man's tight grip.
"Why don't I take you back home in my car?" the man asked.
Gabriella knew that he was lying and struggled to be free as the man started to wrap his arms around her waist. Tears streamed down Gabi's face as she was dragged towards a car. She screamed for help. The man twisted her wrist brutally making Gabi cry in pain.
"Let her go!" growled a voice.
The man and Gabi looked up to see Troy standing there, furious. He grabbed the man's arm and roughly pulled him up, punching him in the face. There was a crack from the man's nose as he fell down onto the sidewalk. He stood up and ran away.
Gabriella sat there shivering from pain and shock. Troy bent down and gently wrapped Gabi's stiff body into his arms.
"It's ok Gabs." Troy said softly, taking off his jacket and fitting it onto Gabriella.
"No it's not!" Gabriella groaned, burying her face into Troy's warm chest.
Troy sighed and gently picked Gabi up bride style. Gabriella whimpered from the cold raindrops hitting mercilessly on her. Troy started to quickly rush her home.
---
Julie started to sniffle as the three stood there, not knowing what to do.
"MOMMY!" Joshua yelled after them, but Troy and Gabi had already disappeared out of the door.
"There're gone…" Nathan said sadly.
"But why did they leave?" Julie cried.
"Julie it's ok, mommy will come back soon…" Joshua said trying to comfort his sister.
"Yea, this is just a dream, let's go to bed and wake up again. Then it'll be normal!" Nathan said.
The three triplets doubtfully walked/crawled up the stairs, wondering if it was all a dream.
---
Troy reached the house, shutting the door behind him with his foot. They were both soaking wet but Gabriella shivering vigorously which made him worried. He quickly set her on the couch and took his wet jacket off her petty body.
Troy ran into the bathroom and grabbed a two large beach towels. He gently tried to dry Gabriella. Gabi slowly opened her brown eyes, waken up from the warmth.
"Troy?" she said softly.
"It's ok Gabi, I'm here." Troy said relieved.
Gabriella whimpered as Troy started to dry her wrist. Troy pushed up her wet sleeve to see a hand shaped bruise starting to form. He swore under his breath, furious, but his hands gentle as if handling something fragile.
'She needs to change…' Troy thought. It would be much easier if her clothes were dry. He sighed as he picked Gabriella up again and headed up to her room.
"Um Gabi…is it ok if I change your shirt and pants?" Troy asked, setting her onto the carpeted floor of her bedroom. He didn't get an answer; he soon realized that she had drifted off to sleep.
Troy rubbed the back of his neck nervously, deciding whether or not to change her clothes. He sighed and stood up, looking into her closet to see her night dress hanging.
"This will have to do…" Troy muttered as he walked over to the sleeping brunette.
---
This doesn't seem like a dream…" Julie said on the bed with her brothers.
They had unsuccessfully tried to sleep but it didn't work.
"Is mommy home yet?" Joshua whined.
"I don't think so…" Nathan said softly.
Julie sighed and lay down on the bed, joining her brothers. She would just have to sleep.
---
Troy gently lifted dry Gabi onto the bed. He had managed to dry and change her well enough. Troy had found his old T-shirt in Gabi's closet to change in.
Flash Back:
"Troy! We're gonna get in trouble!" 18 year old Gabi said giggling. Troy had dragged her into her closet and was now kissing her neck.
"Chill Gabs, it's ok…" he muttered, nipping her collar bone.
He slowly made his way up to her mouth, kissing her passionately. Gabriella groaned through the kiss. Troy slipped off his jacket and pulled away to remove his shirt. He felt Gabi's hands trace his muscles as he pushed his hand up to her stomach.
The two were lost in each other until they heard the car pull up the driveway.
"Shit!" Troy muttered, trying to find his shirt.
Gabriella had hopped out of the closet. "Troy! Just wear your jacket!" Gabriella said giggling.
Troy groaned as slipped on his jacket, zipping it up all the way up.
"Troy, Gabriella, lunch!" Mrs. Montez said, walking into the room.
"Why are you wearing a jacket in the house? Is it cold?" Mrs. Montez asked.
"No!" Troy and Gabi said at the same time.
End of Flash Back
Troy smiled at the memory as he wrapped his arms around Gabi. He kissed her forehead, knowing what still needed to be done the next morning.
There's still more to come the next morning!
Hannah :P
Sneak Peek:
"Where's your dad?" Leah asked disgustedly, starting that the three triplets.
"Um…, we don't have a dad…" Joshua spoke up.
Leah rolled her eyes and pushed through the triplets.
"Hey! Get out of our house!" Julie yelled.
Leah ignored them and walked up stairs.
She opened the door to Gabi's room to see Troy and Gabriella sleeping on the bed.
"Troy how DARE you sleep with that brat!" Leah screamed.
