Chances in This Life Time
Chapter5
Chapter5 Taylor's POV
"This is bad…" I said to Chad (hey that rhythms!) as we ran towards Troy who was still standing there.
"What happened?" I asked him as soon as I got there.
"I brought her one step into the water and asked her to open her eyes, but she wouldn't and then she just ran…she got her shoes and ran." He said to me. I turned him around and there were tears forming in his eyes.
"I'm going to go, bye." he said getting his sandals and walking away into the night.
"What do we do?" I asked Chad.
"Let them meet on their own terms?" Chad said in a questioning voice.
"Ok." I said shrugging. We walked away in the sand talking.
Gabriella's POV
I ran home and inside the house. I closed the front door behind me and ran up to me room. I flopped on my bed making my nicely made bed a mess. I grabbed my pillow and buried my head in it. I cried for an hours, but then got up and turned my radio on. I wasn't really listening to it I just want some noise on.
I went into my bathroom and washed my face. I went to my closet and changed into my pajama's. I went got my laptop and went into my Ocean Room. I sat on a bean bag and looked around the room. The Ocean sounds were calming to me, but why couldn't I just go in the water. I looked at my watch it was midnight. My aunt should be home by now. I got up and went to my Aunt's room. She was fast asleep. I went in and gave her a kiss good night and went to my room and changed again.
I got my flip-flops and then my cell phone and went to the beach. Not many people were there and the party was over. Long over. I went to the water and sat near it. This was the water that took my parents. I love the water…hard to explain. I love the water, but I won't go near it. Only in the shower…I won't even take baths! I groaned and then lay down in the sand. My eyes focusing on the blue sky, the seagulls were flying around.
I wanted to go in the water, but my fear of drowning was with me every second. I wasn't the kind of girl who could risk anything. I was the quiet one and the one who sit there and never take a risk. I always have the fear inside of me.
"You know you should be home." I heard a soft voice say. i closed my eyes knowing it was Troy.
I opened them and there he was lying down next to me like it was a game.
"hey." I said looking at him.
"How are you?" he asked me.
"Confused you?"
"Confused."
"Why are you confused?"
"There's this girl, that I really like, but she won't let me in and I don't know what to do." He said to me looking at the sky. It took me five minutes to realize that he was talking about me.
"I'm sorry." I said to him.
"Why are you sorry?" he asked.
"Um…I don't know." I said to him.
"I do." He said turning to face me. His eyes were still sparkling.
"I want to learn." I said quietly.
"What? I could hear you. You were mumbling." He said smiling. I took in a deep breath and closed my eyes.
"I want to learn how to swim." I said to him. I opened my eyes and he was sanding.
"Here take my hand." He said. I took his hand and he pulled me up. He was taking me away form the ocean and to somewhere else.
"Where are we going?" I asked him.
"First off, you need to trust me. You need to trust me, Gabriella. No questions, just trust." He said facing me. I nodded my head as we walked to the lot where I saw a motorcycle.
I let go of his hand and stood there in shock as he went over to it and put on his hamlet.
"You want me to go on this?" I asked him.
"Island in the sun" by Emma Roberts. I would listen to the song while reading this part it's really good.

"Don't worry I have you." He said as he handed me a helmet. I took it and stared at it. I put it on and tied it. I went over to the bike and got on behind Troy.

He started the bike and I wrapped my arms around him.
"Here we go." He said smiling.
We drove onto the highway and the wind was playing with my hair and it flew around me.
When
you're on a holiday
You can't find the words to say
All the
things that come to you
And I wanna feel it too
I started to smile as we drove. The highway wasn't really busy at night. It was empty and I liked it.
On
an island in the sun
We'll be playin' and havin' fun
And it
makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain
"Where are we going?" I asked Troy over the wind. He turned his head a little.
"Just trust me Gabi. You'll love it." He said.
I did trust him I mean who couldn't
Hip

Hip hip
When you're on a golden sea
You don't
need no memory
Just a place to call your own
As we drift into
the zone
On an island in the sun
We'll be playin' and
havin' fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my
brain
Wait until Taylor hears about this!
We'll
run away together
We'll spend some time forever
We'll never
feel bad anymore
So right now I'm on a motorcycle with Troy! I giggle to myself and leaned on to the right and looked ahead of us. I looked at Troy and he was laughing to himself.

I smiled and leaned my head against his shoulder. I put my gin on his shoulder.
"How much more longer?" I asked him
"I don't know. I don't go by time!" he yelled over the wind and engine.
He's care free…well he's worried about safety and that's it.
We'll
run away together
We'll spend some time forever
We'll never
feel bad anymore
Hip hip
Hip hip
We'll never feel bad
anymore
"Your carefree!" I said to him.
"Not really…" he said trailing off.
"You are to me…" I said to myself.
Hip
Hip
No
Hip Hip
Hip hip
One second I'm scared and the next I'm…taking risks and trusting him. I'm trusting someone for the first time in…well let's say a long time!
We'll
never feel bad anymore
Hip hip
No no

Troy finally pulled up on a green grass place. He parked in the grass and turned the engine off. He got off and took his helmet off and I did the same. He took my hand and ran. I ran behind him with our hands entwined. I was laughing to myself.
Finally he took me to a garden. It looked like a park kind of. There was a maze and he was leading us toward it. The maze was huge! I mean the walls….you can't even see over it! It's like maybe…12 feet or more tall. I stood there amazed.
"Were not going to get lost in here are we?" I asked him looking at the maze's walls. He laughed at me.
"Gabriella, remember trust? It's your friend." He said to me.
"Ok." I said. We went into the maze.
"So which way do you think we should go?" Troy asked me once we got to a place where we had to choose. I thought for a moment.
"Left."
We went around and around for a while and finally we got to the middle. I couldn't believe my eyes. It was beautiful there was a water fountain that was green. And a building like…(Go to my profile and there's a picture of it there if you want to see it. Just pretend there's no trees ok? ok:))
"Oh my god…" I said stepping over to the fountain. I left go of Troy's hands and sat on the edge of the fountain. I looked into the water as more fell.
"How did you find this place?" I asked Troy.
"I was mad one year and I stormed out of home and drove for and hour and then found this park and then the maze and then this. I come here all the time to think. It's pretty nice. I never shared it with anyone else so I hope you like it." Troy said to me. I smiled and got up. I hugged him and kissed him on the cheek.
"Thank you." I said to him. I looked into his eyes and he looked into mine. We were inching closer when our lips met. It was a short kiss, but sweet. I pulled back and smiled at him. He smiled at me.
"So do you think this is a wishing well?" I asked him as I turned back to the fountain.
"It can if you want it to be." He said to me.
"I want it to be." I turned to him and smiled.
Troy's POV
"So did you learn today?" I asked her.
"Yeah, I did." She said to me.
"What did you learn?"
"I learned that you're really stupid…" she said trailing off.
"Huh?" I asked disappointed.
"I'm joking!" she said giggling.
"Now you're going to get it." I said to her picking her up and twirling her around.
She giggled in my arms. Finally I put her down.
"I learned about trust, thanks to you." She said to me after she stopped laughing.
"Troy?" she asked me.
"Yeah?"
"What time is it?"
"Umm…" I said looking at my watch.
"It's four in the morning…" I said trailing off. I didn't even realize we been out that long.
"We should get going…" I said.
"Yeah, we should…" she said sounding disappointed.
"Let's go." I said smiling. I took her hand in mine once again and we walked out of the maze.
Once again on the highway driving back. Her arms were wrapped around me as we drove on the highway and the wind in our faces.
This has been the best night of my life…the sun was rising on our way home.
"Gabi?" I asked as I parked the cycle in my drive way. She must've fallen asleep. I took my helmet off and placed it on the ground. I got off while keeping an arm around Gabriella. I carried, bridle-style, and walked to her house. Finally we got to her door and I placed her on her feet and woke her.
"I'll see you tomorrow…or today." I said to her.
"Bye Troy…and thank you." She said as she walked into the house. I smiled and went back to my house. When I got in my room I did a little dance.
Gabriella's POV
I walked into the house and checked on my Aunt. Still asleep. I closed her door smiling. I went to my room and went to bed. The best night of my life…
