Note on the Front Door

"Guys, what the hell are you two doing in there?" Taylor asked.

"Oh, um nothing, just brushing our teeth." Troy shouted back.

"Err…Yeah so we don't waste water." Gabby said after Troy

. "What…You guys going to shower together too?" asked Taylor.

Troy who had a big grin on his face looked at Gabby, as soon as Gabby looked at him he wiped the grin off.

"No...Of course we're not." She shouted back sternly.

"Well that's a relief." Taylor said her voice fading while she walked down the stairs.

"That was a close one." Gabby whispered to Troy.

"Yeah to close..Maybe we should keep the 'making out' business until we get back to mine." Troy whispered back.

Gabby fixed her hair up by combing her fingers through it. Troy opened the bathroom door and let Gabby out and they walked down the stairs together.

They went into the living room where Chad was sitting. "Where is everyone?" Troy asked confused.

"Gone." Chad said concentrating on the TV.

"Gone…Gone where?" Troy asked. Chad looked up at him like an idiot.

"To space...Where'd you think?" Chad said to Troy and then turning back towards the TV again, Troy stood there.

"Oh Right…They've gone home. "He laughed at himself.

"What were you guys actually doing upstairs in MY bathroom?" Chad asked turning towards Troy and Gabby again.

"Mind your own business Chad." Troy said.

"Oh…I get ya." Chad said with a grin on his face.

"Shut it." Troy said sternly to his friend.

"We didn't do anything; we were brushing our teeth and talking." Troy said grabbing Gabby's hand.

"Ok…Ok chill." Chad said defeated.

"Ok…We better be getting off as well then. Thanks for a good night." Troy said to Chad while walking out the door. "No problem dude." Chad said waving to them.

"Am I Taking you home, or mine?" Troy asked Gabby while he was driving.

"Yours…If that's ok? Gabby asked.

Troy grinned. "Of course it is."

Gabby got her phone out "I'll call my parents and let them know." Gabby said dialing her parent's number. "Dad…Hey, Um I'm staying at Troy's tonight if that's ok? She asked her dad over the phone. "Yes dad I will." She said with a sigh. "Yep Cya…Love you, Oh and tell mom too." She hung up the phone.

"Everything ok Gabs?" Troy asked.

"Yeah, he was just droning on about not being stupid, and 'being safe'...Ugh." Gabby said with a disgusted look on her face.

Troy laughed. "Well he has a point, you never know what could happen, I mean it's me you're talking about here." He said grinning at Gabby.

"Troy, you're great…You care about my feelings and you don't force me into things, which I don't want to do. I love you because your you." Gabby said smiling but blushing abit.

"Aww…Babe that's so sweet of you to say." Troy told Gabby. "I love you for you too, and of course I wouldn't force you into anything that you don't want to do Gabby, I never will." Troy said parking his car up in his driveway.

Troy and Gabby got out of the car and walked towards the front door. "Troy what's for din-" Gabby cut her sentence off when she saw a note on the door and she stopped in her tracks. Troy who was walking behind her bumped into her.

"Gab's what's wrong?" Troy asked. She was just staring at the door. Troy went in front of her and looked at the door. All he saw was a note saying:

I'M GOING TO KILL YOU BOLTON!!

Troy stared at it in disbelief, he heard sobs from behind him and realized Gabby was crying.

"Hey…Hey C'mon now its ok, no one is going to hurt me…I promise." Troy said trying to soothe Gabby by rubbing her back.

"Tr...Troy y...You d...Don't Kn…know Th…That." Gabby said stuttering.

Troy gabbed the note off the door and scrunched it up in his hand and turned to Gabby. "Gab's No one and I mean no one is going to hurt me." He said hugging her.

"O…k Troy." Gabby said trying to sound hopeful, but not succeeding.

"We are going to go in and ring the police, I'm sure they will sort this out." Troy said opening the door.

"Ok." Gabriella mumbled back.

Troy went into the living room and rang the police, while Gabby sat on his couch.

"What service." The operator asked.

"Police please to 18 Stallers lane, Toluca Lake." Troy asked.

"Ok they're on their way." The operator told Troy.

"Thanks." Troy said and put the phone down and turned to Gabby. "See everything is going to be fine…Like I said." Troy said sitting next to Gabby and putting an arm around her waist and cuddling her.

"I know…I know, but who would threaten you like that." Gabby asked muttering into his chest. "I have a fairly good idea but I'm not making any judgments." Troy said cradling Gabby.

"Who?" Gabby asked looking up at Troy.

"Babe…I'm not saying anything until the police arrive, your already upset and I don't want to make it any worse, Ok?" Troy said looking into Gabby's chocolate brown eyes.

There was a knock at the front door, Gabby jumped and held Troy tighter. "Babe…It's just the police, it ok I'll let them in." Troy said trying to get up to go to the front door.

Gabby let him go and wrapped her arms around her legs.

Two police officers came into the living room, Troy sat down next to Gabby and held her close to him.

"Hi, I'm Inspector Mike Monroe and this is P.C Joe Alexander." he said nodding towards the P.C.

"Now I hear there was some threatening note on your door…Is that right?" Inspector Monroe asked.

"Yeah it's here." Troy said getting up and getting the scrunched up ball of paper and opening it and smoothing it out to give to the Inspector.

The inspector read it. "Do you have any idea who could have written this?" P.C Alexander asked.

"Well…There's only one person that hates my guts." Troy said looking at the two police officers.
