My Best Friend's Wedding

An-Alright, I know this took me forever to get up, but a lot has been going on. First off, my sister finally had her baby and once again, I spent all of my time at the hospital. Plus, the minor fact that I have tons and tons of work coming in from school. Forget all of that! This chapter is dedicated to x3xMUSiC-is-LiFEx3x because it was supposed to be up for her birthday, but I got side-tracked with all that other stuff. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY! I'm sorry this took so long! I'll get on with the chapter. Oh, and everyone got the trivia right! I'm extremely happy about that. 'Fabulous' happens to be one of my favorite songs. I don't know why. Anyway, I'm going to shut up and let you all read since I left you guys with a mean cliffy.

READ ON!

Chapter Fifteen

Is this really happening? Am I really making-out with my best friend in a dressing room. If this is a dream, I beg of you...DO NOT WAKE ME! I sheiked as Troy bit down softly at the base of my neck. He pushed the dress down until it was completely off and I was left in my underwear. I gently pushed Troy back so that he was sitting on the bench. I straddled his waist and kissed him fiercely.

"Gabi, what about Seth?" Troy asked, breaking our kiss. Seth? He's thinking about Seth? I was considering what would happen because of Cassandra, and he didn't care, but now all of a sudden he wants to know about Seth? You have got to be kidding me! I stared at him for a moment before I finally found an answer.

"Shut up." I whisped huskily before kissing him again. Troy wasted no time in kissing back. He placed his hands on my side and began to rub my sides. I shivered at his touch, but I didn't stop. I'd wanted this for so long. I mean, do you know what it's like to dream about placing passionate kisses on your best friend?

"God, you are so hott." Troy groaned. I giggled and began to unbutton his shirt. Troy attacked my neck once again and I moaned softly. I still can't believe that we're doing this in a public place and no one has said anything. This is perfect! "I love you so much, Cassie." Well, it was perfect up until then. I felt my whole body go numb.

"Cassie?" I whispered. I couldn't even speak. This whole time, he was thinking about her. "You...you just...you just called me Cassie." I stood up and began to gather my clothes. It'd just hit me that I was in nothing but my underwear. Silly me!

"I..." Troy was speechless. I could tell by the look on his face. He closed his mouth and began to re-do the buttons on his shirt. "I...I should go outside and wait." I didn't nod or smile, but I could tell Troy knew I needed to be alone. The second he walked out, my legs gave out. How could I be so stupid? Troy's getting married! Of course he's going to be thinking about her! It's obvious since he proposed. Argh! I'm so stupid! I put on my clothes and walked out of the room. "Do you want to keep looking?" Is that all he can do? Ask me if I still want to look for a dress to his wedding! No Troy, I don't want to!

"I don't think I should try on anymore dresses tonight." I told him as I started to walk out of the store. I got in the car and didn't say another word until I was home, and even then all I said was 'bye'. For the first time since we broke-up, things are akward between me and Troy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Brie, please get up. You can't sit here and cry your brains out all day."

"Seth, I don't want to talk about it." I cried. Yes, I am sitting in my bed crying my eyes out. All over Troy Bolton...for the second time in my life. First time is when he stole my popsicle in the 4th grade.

"I know you don't want to, but I can't help you feel better if you don't say anything." Seth whispered.

"You wanna make me feel better?" I asked, emerging from the covers. "Get me some Ben and Jerry's Fish Food ice cream, and I'll tell you all about it."

"I've already got that and your favorite movie." I looked up at him and smiled sadly. Seth was terribly sweet. I mean really, how many guys you know would bring you ice cream and a movie when you're upset? Without being asked? Not many..."So, what do you say?" He asked with a hopeful smile. I broke into a small smile and nodded. Minutes later, we were sprawled out on my bed as I ate ice cram and told him everything.

"...and then he called me Cassie." I told him before taking a huge spoonful of ice cream.

"Wow." He breathed. I could tell he was stunned.

"Yeah, not exactly what you expected, huh?"

"Well, I knew you two kissed or something, but I never thought He'd call you by someone else's name."

"How'd you know we kissed?"

"You have a hickey on your neck." I have a what?! A hickey?! Great! I wanted nothing more than to forget about that stupid kiss, and here I was branded by it! I groaned and buried my head in my pillow. "Oh c'mon. It's not that bad, Brie."

"Not that bad? Seth he cheated on his fiance with me! And I didn't stop him! I warned him, he warned me, and in the end I'm the one who gets hurt." I cried into his chest when he brought me into his arms. "It's not fair!"

"Please don't cry. I hate it when you cry. I can't stand it when you're hurt and upset." When did I deserve to have someone like him around?

"Thank-you." I whispered. Seth placed a sweet kiss on my forehead. He gently stroked my hair, just like he used to. It was this eerie feeling of deja vu. Here I was feeling so incredibly safe with him, and we weren't even together. Not for real anyway, but I do wonder what would've happened if we hadn't broken up...

"Brie, I think we should end this whole plan."

"What? We can't. I haven't said anything to Troy yet." I can't give up on this.

"He hurt you. I don't want to see that happen again." Why is he being so protective?

"Seth, me getting hurt is actually sorta worth it. Troy knows I have feelings for him. It's all good so far."

"No, look I don't want anything more to happen than our intended goal."

"And it won't. I promise. We only have two months until the wedding. There are only a few things left for us to do before I have to leave."

"Are you sure about this?" Seth asked, cocking his head to the side.

"Gosh, don't be such a girl! Always making sure things are in order! Be a man Seth!" I joked. Seth gasped dramaticaly, as if he were Sharpay.

"Fine, but when things get too wacky I can pull the plug." Hm, allowing him some control? Ah what the heck! What could possibly go wrong?

"Deal." We both shook hands and went back to eating ice cream and watching movies. I'm glad I have Seth around.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's been about a week since the incident with Troy, and I still haven't spoken to him. I've avoided him at the firm, canceled on my friends when I heard he was coming, and gave him the cold shoulder at dinner with our parents. You may say I'm being harsh, but I just haven't gotten my thoughts together. I have no clue what to say to him. I can't exactly go up to him and be like 'that kiss was the best thing that has ever happened to me since we broke-up and I love you'. Well, I could but that might just freak him out. I bet you're wondering where I am now if I'm not near Troy. I'd just like to state that I do not nor have I ever spent the majority of my free time with him. Now that that's cleared up, I'm in the broom closet at the firm. I know, I know...what the heck are you doing? Sniffing aresol cans? No, I'm hiding. It happens to be the only place he wouldn't find me.

"Gabi, why have you been avoiding me?" The voice asked, and I immediately knew who it was. Troy flicked on the light and closed the door.

"I haven't been avoiding you...just been unaturally busy. With the move. Yeah, busy with the move." Lame! He is never going to believe that!

"Yeah, right. So busy that you can't talk when we're at dinner? What's going on?" Okay, I knew he was dense, but is he serious? You stupid idiot!

"Troy, we made out in a dressing room, in a public place!"

"Yeah..." His gaze was focused on something over in the corner.

"That's all you can say? You called me Cassandra's pet name, and you cheated on her. How can you act like nothing ever happened?" I asked. can almost feel some tears forming.

"It's complicated okay? There are things going on with Cassie that are hard for me to figure out. None of it was supposed to happen..."

"Why Troy? Because your 'needs' couldn't stop you from taking advantage of your best friend? I tried to stop you Troy, and you didn't."

"I tried to stop you too!"

"That doesn't count! I was already in too deep." I shouted at him.

"Oh, let it go Gabi! You act like it meant something. It was just a stupid harmless make-out session." His words rang through my head and I stood there in pure shock. It didn't mean anything?

"If only you knew the half of it, Troy." I spoke in a low calm tone as tears came down my cheeks. I walked out of the room only to see that everyone had been listening in. "Back to work." I ordered. They all scattered as I stalked into my office. Slamming the door, I sat down in my chair and cried, for the third time in my life...over Troy Bolton. This entire plan is really starting to suck some ice cubes. My phone rang and I picked it up.

"Hey little sis, up for some fun?"
