My Best Friend's Wedding
An-I'm sorry! I know it's been a long time since I last uploaded something, but there's a lot going on. I've got school projects, the Terra Niva, and the new baby to help out with. Let's just get to the trivia. The winner is Cole-rulez! The answer was 'He did it' hehehe. Also, kissmuah93, zanessaroxursox, bookworm3, Heaven and Earth, HazieRox, HSMandChelseaFCfan, LostInMusicHSM, sticklet, lillymarie, Forg0ttenemories, Fee, laughter.is.the.best.medicine, HSMobsessed23, Splitster7, Corey5268, troyella4ever, Kyyra, and Tohrment gave the correct answer. Congradulations to all! I'm going to stop and let everyone read before I babble on anymore. I think this chapter maybe shorter than the rest.
NOTE: This was meant to be up the day before, but I came down with a horrible cold, and I couldn't even get up. Sorry for the wait!

Chapter Sixteen
"Hey little sis, up for some fun?"
Zeke.
He always has perfect timing. Unlike Chad Danforth, he doesn't pop in when I'm screaming at myself. "Sorry, but the fun train left when the bad mood entered." I replied to him.
"Why? Something happen?" To tell, or not to tell. Why not? All of my employees know, why shouldn't Zeke?
"I got into an argument with Troy."
"Was it about the whole make-out thing?" What the...? How did he know? I haven't spoken to Shar, Tay, or Kelsi about it yet. "Troy told me." All I could do was be silent. If there was anyone Troy would trust with his secrets, it was Zeke. Sure, Chad was his best friend...but Zeke was the one to go to for real advice. He was always there. No matter the problem.
"It certainly was. I mean he acted like it was nothing. He then said it was nothing, and that it meant nothing. Wouldn't you be mad too." I'm assuming he already knows that I'm in love with Troy. Shar can't keep a secret.
"Uh, I guess it would if I had some type of deep feelings for him." Did I mention how trustworthy Zeke is? He's being so sweet by acting like he doesn't know anything.
"Oh c'mon, Z. I'm positive Shar told you that I'm in love with Troy." I said with a little laugh. My friend remained quiet. Why is he quiet? I mean, that was a funny joke, right?...right?
"Um, she actually didn't. I really apprciate you telling me though." It took me a minute to actually process what he just told me.
"What do you mean Sharpay never told you?"
"I mean she never said that you loved Troy. She would always joke about it, but she never once told me she was serious..."
"WHAT?!" I bellowed, attracting the attention of a fellow lawyer.
"Ow!"
"Sorry. It's just that I was sorta counting on Shar's big mouth to spread the news."
"I see. It's clear why you sound like you've been crying now." Zeke chuckled.
"Does it really?" I asked, embarrassed.
"Yeah. Listen, I'm sure Troy didn't mean any of what he said. He's just got a lot on the brain with the wedding. That must've been one heck of a kiss, because it's got him pretty screwed up. When he called to talk about it, he was just so confused. He said that he really ruined it all by calling you-"
"-Yeah, can we not relive that part?" I interrupted. Zeke laughed a bit before continuing.
"In all honesty, I don't have a clue about what's going on in his head, but it seems like that kiss had to mean something in order to do this much damage." Trust me...it wasn't a little kiss. Nor was it one.
"That means a lot. Thanks for telling me."
"No prob. I gotta go. Bye Gabs."
"Bye Z." I said before ending the call. I sat back in my chair and thought about the information I recieved. Maybe there was a bit of hope left in me...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One week. That's how long it's been since I've spoken to Troy. Not the 'hi, bye' thing that everyone does. The whole six hour conversations about absolutely nothing. That's what I'm talking about. It's like a troyella dry spell. I'm currently packing up in my house. The move is about a month and a half away, but I just want everything to be ready. I've already bought this realy pretty one story house. It's so cute! It comes with a dog house in the backyard. I might never use it, but who cares?! It's there! Woo! Can you tell how miserable I am, yet?
"Gab, you need to get up. The guys and I have to go get suits today." Chad nagged me. I wasn't exactly all happy-go-lucky about shopping with Troy again.
"Chad, can't you all go without me?"
"No way! We need your help, and you promised."
"I know, but I'm not exactly on speaking terms with the groom."
"I really don't give a crap!" Chad! How could you? "Tay and I have our own wedding to deal with. Troy says that it's 'of great importance' that you be there." He said that? Really?
"Fine, but I'm not driving..."
"Fine by me. I'll drive. Just get you big butt up!" Chad shouted as he pulled the cover off of me. "Wait a minute, you were already dressed?"
"Yeah. I was just debating on wether or not I should go." Chad shot me a mean glare before storming out.
"You're going to pay for that!" He shouted at me. I giggled before following after him. I walked into my living room to find that all the guys were there...including Troy. I know that everyone thinks I gave him a wave, or a small smile. Nope. Not a thing. Not even a second glance.
"Alright, let's go." I said to everyone as we filed out of my home. All the guys paired off as it was planned, and left me seated next to Troy. Awesome!...not! As we sat, Troy scooted away from me as if I had a disease. I could feel him staring though. His eyes were burning holes into the side of my head. "Would you stop?"
"Stop what?" Listen to him play all innocent? 'Stop what?' Please! Like he doesn't know!
"Staring at me! If you've got something to say to me, say it. I won't know anything unless you talk. I'm not psycho!"
"Psychic." He corrected.
"Whatever!" I shouted. I honestly forgot that there were other people in the car until I saw Jason and Zeke staring at me. It's absolutely pathetic that even when I'm mad at Troy, he can still make me feel like it's just us in the room. Even if it's in a bad way. We sat in silience until Jason started singing one of those cheesy car songs. I let a giggle slip when Troy joined in. He shot me a smile and nudged my side. As if I was going to sing! I simply turned my head and hoped he was frowning. It was quiet for the rest of the ride...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Gabi, can I talk to you?" Troy said from his dressing room. All of the guys were at the register while Troy was still getting undressed. "Please?" I nodded slowly and walked in. He closed the curtain and sighed. His arms wrapped around my waist and held me close. I couldn't move. I only brought my hands up to hug him back.
"Are you okay?" I asked, truly concerned.
"Yeah, I...I just missed my best friend." He whispered. I smiled and hugged tighter before we broke apart.
"I kinda missed you too."
"I'm sorry about what happened. I shouldn't have kissed you. I definitely shouldn't have acted like it didn't happen." You got that right buddy!
"It's fine, but what exatly did you want to talk about?"
"Right, um..."
"Yeah?"
"You see..."
"What is it? You can tell me?"
"I really don't know what to do!"
"I can honestly say the same! Seeing as I don't know what's wrong..." Seriously, what has got him so nervous?
"Well..."
"Troy..." I started. My patience was starting to decrease.
"I don't know how to say this..." His eyes shifted all over the small booth.
"Well, do the best you can. I'm sure whatever it is isn't so bad that you can't even tell me? Right?"
"Hm..." This is no time to think about it!
"Troy, JUST SPIT IT OUT!" I yelled. Troy's eyes locked with mine and he took a deep breath.
"Cassie's pregnant..."
Holy cheese and cracker...
