Chapter 8 - Secret recordings
"Troy." Gabriella breathed as Chloe and Kyle's eyes went wide at the name.
"Wow. This is awkward." Troy broke the silence between the two.
"Yeah." Gabriella quietly answered.
"So how are you?" Troy asked trying to make conversation.
"Ok you?" Gabriella answered.
"Not so good. Kyle is on my back constantly about something." Gabriella smiled trying to ignore the awkwardness between them.
"I'll have a word with him if you like. I've still got some tricks I can use." Troy and Gabriella laughed.
"No I think I will be ok but thanks. Hey where's Kyle because I need to talk to him?" Troy asked.
"He's right here." Gabriella told him.
"Can you give please pass Kyle the phone because I need a word with him? It was great talking to you again." Gabriella lamely nodded forgetting Troy couldn't see her as she gave Kyle his phone.
"Hey Troy." Kyle answered preparing himself for Troy to go mad.
"YOU TOLD ME YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHERE SHE WAS LIVING OR HAVEN'T SPOKEN TO HER REALLY SINCE WE BROKE UP! KYLE YOU MUST SEE HER OFTEN SINCE SHE IS WITH YOU! HOW COULD YOU NOT TELL ME?!" Troy yelled as Kyle pulled the phone away from his ear and winced.
"Troy I..." Kyle walked out the room realising Gabriella was still there. "I knew how much it hurt you to talk about her and I didn't want to upset you or her. Troy she hates you because of what happened and I thought it was just easier for both of you if you didn't know about how close I was with the other one." Kyle explained quickly.
"Kyle, you should've told me the truth. So how is she?" Troy asked calmly knowing Kyle was obviously trying to do the right thing.
"She's doing well. She looks great. She's my science teacher which is great because it means I get to mess around with her and get good marks. Ok I may not be getting good marks yet from her but I'm working on that." Troy laughed. "Troy you know she may hate you but underneath it all she still loves you. I heard her tell dad the other day." Kyle told him.
"Kyle don't go there. Yeah she will always be in my heart because what we had was special but that's all in the past. I'm glad she's doing well because that's all I could hope for. Oh and don't cause her too much mischief in class because otherwise I will have to come down there especially and beat you up." Kyle laughed.
"I would love to see you do that. Troy come on you know you still love her too." Kyle prodded as Troy sighed.
"Kyle don't. I got to go. Call me soon with the details." Troy hung up as Kyle walked back in to see Gabriella sitting there with Chloe rubbing her back.
"Sorry. I should have warned you." Kyle apologised as Gabriella shook her head.
"What for? Talking to your brother? Kyle you don't have to apologize. I just was shocked to hear his voice after so long." Kyle smiled as he sat down on the other side of her.
"Well how about since I feel bad about it you stay over for dinner. Me and Chloe are here on our own and were just going to get a takeout and watch movies. What do you say sis? Stay over with your 2nd family?" Kyle pouted as Chloe and Gabriella laughed.
"I guess I could. My mom's out tonight so I would be all alone and anyway I think I need to keep an eye on you two since who knows what the two of you could do in a house with no adult. I think the two of you will have killed each other after 10 minutes." Chloe and Kyle nodded knowing she was right. "And I can't leave Chloe here on her own with you Kyle because we know you and you will be up to something." Gabriella pointed out while stuck his tongue out at her and Chloe laughed at the two of them.
Later on that night, Gabriella had called her mom to tell her she wouldn't be home either tonight since Chloe had offered for her to stay over. Chloe and Gabriella were now sitting in the living room and Kyle had gone to get something.
"So how you doing after the whole incident this afternoon?" Chloe asked.
"I'm ok. I think that maybe hearing his voice again after so many years made me realize we are both different people and its time I moved on from the past." Gabriella answered as Chloe went quiet knowing that things were getting tough with Kyle's plan.
"I'll be back in a minute." Chloe raced upstairs to find Kyle digging through his closet. "We have a problem. Gabi is thinking its time she moves on." Chloe told him as he grabbed a small item from the floor and walked downstairs.
"Hey Gabs." Kyle sat down next to her and pressed something in his pocket as Chloe resumed her seat on the single chair.
"Kyle what have you done? You never sit next to me unless you want something or have done something and need my help." Gabriella pointed out as he shrugged.
"You know me too well. I just wanted to ask you some questions." Chloe looked at her brother quizzically.
"Ok." Gabriella said unsurely.
"Good, how can you be so sure that you should move on from Troy? Why not talk to him? The two of you are perfect for each other." Kyle asked.
"Kyle I thought we agreed not to talk about this. Troy has already moved on and you saw what happened earlier things were too awkward between us." Gabriella told him.
"But you still love him. I know you do." Kyle said quickly as Gabriella shook her head.
"Loving someone the way I love Troy is something you can never get over but you have to move on with life. Yeah I still love Troy the same amount as when we were together but I have to accept that things like this aren't meant to be revisited. Troy doesn't have these feelings anymore and it's about time I accepted that." Gabriella answered as Kyle nodded and stood up.
"I'll be back in a bit. I need to just do some stuff in my room." Kyle ran upstairs, slamming his door behind him and automatically locking it. He pulled out the tape recorder from his pocket and started downloading what was on the disc to his computer.
After Kyle finished downloading the stuff to his computer he grabbed his cell and called Troy.
"Kyle what do you want now?" Troy asked obviously annoyed.
"You have to listen to this Troy." Kyle pressed play and let out everything of what Gabriella had just said to Troy. "Troy?"
"Yeah I'm here. She loves me? Still?" Troy asked half confused and half in shock. "Why?"
"Troy you know what you and Gabi had was special. You were meant to be together. You have to come home Troy and talk to her." Kyle told him.
"Kyle the best I can offer you is an I'll think about it because I need time to process everything."Troy told him as Kyle sighed.
"Thanks Troy. I'll talk to you later." Kyle hung up and sighed falling back against his bed.
After a few minutes, Kyle went to find Gabriella. Chloe had already gone to bed and leant Gabriella some old clothes Troy still had there. Kyle headed towards the spare room when he saw a light coming from Troy's room. He quietly walked over to see Gabriella, dressed in one of Troy's old singlet's and wildcats shorts which she wore every time she stayed over, looking at all the pictures still had of the two of them.
"I remember when he first introduced me to all of you. I was so nervous. From what Troy had told me the three of you were close so I thought you and Chloe might try and do something to get rid of me. Who'd have thought we would all get along so well. Troy always said we all would and if he found a girl who could love his family as much as he did then he knew he found the perfect girl and to me you were all like my second family." Gabriella told him as Kyle walked over to the bed and sat next to her remembering the memory.
Flashback
Troy and Gabriella had just arrived at the Bolton's. This would be the first time Gabriella met more of his family other than his dad.
"Troy what if they hate me? What if you brother and sister think you are better of with someone else?" Gabriella asked panicking as Troy squeezed her hand reassuringly and sent her his million dollar smile.
"Don't worry. Once they meet you and get to know you they will see how perfect you are for me and I would never in a million years date Sharpay." Gabriella smiled as she took a deep breath and walked inside with him.
"Mom! Dad! Chloe! Kyle!" Troy called as he pulled Gabriella to his side.
"in the kitchen." Jack called while Troy felt Gabriella tense up.
"Don't worry it will be ok." Troy told her as they walked in."Hey mom this is my girlfriend Gabriella. Dad you already know Gabi." Troy introduced as Amanda stepped forward to shake Gabriella's hand.
"It's very nice to meet you dear. I've heard a lot about you from Troy and Jack." Gabriella blushed slightly.
"It's nice to meet you too Mrs Bolton. Coach." Gabriella acknowledged Jack who smiled.
"Oh please Gabriella no Mrs Bolton it makes me feel old, call me Amanda." Troy smiled at his mom.
"Ok Amanda." Troy looked at his dad nervously not sure of what his reaction would be.
"Miss Montez no coach in the house, its Jack. Just not in school" Gabriella nodded as Troy let go of her hand and walked towards the back door.
"CHLOE! KYLE! COME MEET GABI!" Troy yelled as Amanda shook her head at her son's laziness not to bother to walk outside. A few seconds later two younger children came running through the door. "Chloe, Kyle this is Gabi. Gabi, Chloe and Kyle. Just watch out for Kyle because he can get a big mouth on him sometimes." Gabriella laughed as she bent down to shake Kyle's hand.
"Hi Kyle." Gabriella quietly said.
"Hey. So why are you going out with my smelly big brother?" Kyle asked as Gabriella giggled.
"Kyle Bolton stop before you start." Jack warned his son as Gabriella stood up and found herself with two arms hugging her.
"Hi Chloe." Gabriella said as Chloe pulled away.
"Gabi are you going to be my new sister?" Troy and Gabriella blushed at the innocence of the question.
"Maybe one day." Gabriella answered as Chloe turned her attention to Troy.
"Troy are you going to let Gabriella be our sister one day?" Troy and Gabriella looked at each other and smiled.
"I promise you Chloe one day you will call Gabi your sister." Jack and Amanda smiled as Gabriella blushed at Troy's answer.
"Troy why don't you show Gabriella around?" Amanda suggested.
"Come on. I want to show you my room." Troy grabbed her hand as the two walked upstairs."Close your eyes." Gabriella gave Troy a confused look.
"Why should I trust you?" she asked playfully. "What if I don't want to close my eyes?"
"Well then I will have to find another way to get you to close your eye." With that Troy leaned in and kissed her. She tried to keep her eyes open but soon closed them as she fell into the kiss. Troy slowly moved them back into his room, opening his door and pushing Gabriella in. After a few minutes, Troy pulled away."Told you I would get you to close your eye." Gabriella slowly opened her eyes and smiled at him.
"So this is your room?" Gabriella observed everything around.
"Yep and I want to show you something." Troy indicated for her to sit down on the bed. Troy grabbed a book from under his bed and placed it on her lap.
"What's this?" Troy shrugged as Gabriella opened the photo album to find picture of the two of them.
"I started making this when you first moved here. This one is for you. I made two so we could both have one." Troy explained.
"Troy this is so sweet. Thank you." Gabriella leaned over and gave Troy a kiss.
"You're welcome." The two embraced again, falling back on Troy's bed, only to be broken by giggles. They looked up and saw Kyle and Chloe giggling at the two. "What do you two want?" Troy asked angrily as the two walked away.
"Hey why don't you two come in? I'd love to get to know you more and maybe you could tell me some embarrassing stories of Troy I could use." Gabriella pushed Troy off her and saw Chloe and Kyle come back. For the rest of the day Gabriella spent time with Troy's family, hearing many stories about him and falling more and more in love with him. His whole family made her feel so welcome and she loved Kyle and Chloe like her own brother and sister.
End Flashback
"I remember when Troy told us how scared you were we would hate you. I just laughed even though I didn't quite fully understand. Who'd have thought I would really have gained a not just a friend when you and Troy got together but I gained the best older sister." Gabriella smiled at Kyle.
"Well I'll always be here for you. I think I'm going to go to bed." Gabriella stood up as Kyle shook his head.
"No why don't you stay in here. I think you need to. Don't argue or I will call Troy and tell him what you told me earlier. I have it taped." Gabriella's eyes went wide. "Nope before you ask I won't give it to you. Now you stay and sleep. Good night Gabi." Kyle walked out as Gabriella sighed as settled down into Troy's old bed instantly falling asleep feeling comforted and close to Troy in some way once again.
A/N: Hey right I think there will be two more chapters before I bring Troy into it properly. I tried to add some Troyella fluff into this chapter too because there hasn't been a lot. Please review! Thanks!
