"And so day 4 begins where Troy and Gabriella haven't spoken to each other." Taylor sang, as her, Gabriella and Sharpay walked inside the door's of St. Katherine's.
Gabriella turned to her friend and glared. "And so day 4 begins where either of you haven't shutted up about it."
Sharpay held her hands out. "I didn't say anything," she pursed her lips together and looked around, "yet."
"Thanks alot guy's." Gabriella muttered, walking to her locker. She slipped her bag inside and grabbed her math books.
"Hey, least Alexa's staying away. I mean, something could be up her sleeve, but whatever." Taylor shrugged.
Sharpay crossed her arms and scoffed, laughing sarcastically. "I'll bet you that bitch has something up her sleeve. I just know it. She's probably doing cart wheels that you and Troy aren't talking, hell, even looking at each other right now."
Taylor nodded in agreement. "You can so tell. She stares at you and Troy all day in class."
"Well, she can do whatever she wants. I couldn't give two shit's. She hasn't even spoken to me so who cares?" Gabriella said, shutting her locker. She smiled as Kelsi jogged over to the three. "Hey, Kelsi."
"Hey, guy's." The green eyed girl smiled holding out a piece of paper. "Party tonight at Roger Dessen's house."
Sharpay made a confused face and grabbed the paper. "Mrs. Dessen's son?" she asked.
Kelsi nodded. "Yep. Mrs. Dessen and her husband are out of town, remember?"
"Ok, how awkward would that be? Mrs. Dessen's house?" Taylor said, making a disgruntled face.
"It probably will be, but come on you guy's it's Friday and none of us have anything to do tonight. So, please?" Kelsi asked, pouting slightly.
Sharpay laughed. "Wow, since when did Kelsi Neilson become such a party animal? I'm in, though. I got nothing better to do."
"Yeah, whatever. I'll just have to ease my way out of visiting Grandma in Houston this weekend." Taylor shrugged. The three turned to Gabriella who was eyeing her red painted nails. "Don't tell me that you don't want to go just because Troy most definitely will go."
"I'll go," Gabriella said, "but I might be busy."
"Busy sulking, you mean?"
Gabriella rolled her eye's. "I'm going, so relax." she sighed, before walking toward first peroid: math class.
Sharpay chuckled as she watched her friend walk down the hallway. "Tonight, should be fun."
"Gabi, will you please open your door?" Sonia asked, knocking at the 18 year-olds bedroom door.
"Just a minute!" Gabriella called out as she stepped out of her shower and wrapped a towel around her petite body. She jogged to her front door and smiled as she saw her mom. "What's up?"
Sonia looked her daughter up and down. "Where are you going?" she asked.
Gabriella shrugged. "I'm sleeping over at Sharpay's tonight." she lied, knowing her mom would practically lock her up in her room if she knew she was going to a house party.
"I thought tonight we were going to talk about the finishing touches on the wedding?" Sonia said, confused.
"God." Gabriella muttered, grabbing a pair of panties and a bra from her dresser. "Mother, I said a long time ago that since you, dad and the Bolton's wanted this wedding so bad, that you guy's can plan it."
Sonia narrowed her eye's at her the brunette. "Gabriella the wedding is in a week and a half, two weeks at the most. Now, I already have everything planned out and set, all I need is some help with the final touches like what color the flowers in the church should be. You can't help me do a simple thing like that? This is your wedding and your only wedding."
"Yeah, a wedding that I'm being forced into." Gabriella said, walking into her bathroom and shutting the door.
"I will be downstairs. I expect you down stairs to help me in no less than five minutes." Sonia said, walking out of the lavender room.
Gabriella rolled her eye's and slipped a robe over her underwear and bra, knowing she can just get dressed after the "planning". She slipped her slippers on and jogged downstairs. She glared at her mother and plopped onto the couch next to her. "What is so important that we just couldn't do this later?"
Sonia sighed and grabbed her clipboard full of brochures and papers. "Ok, first we need to call the flower people and make sure they got the correct number and colors of the roses."
"Great." Gabriella mumbled, resting a hand under her chin.
"Where is Gabriella?" Sharpay called out from the loud music that was blaring through the dim, loud and crowded Dessen home.
Taylor and Kelsi shrugged in usion. "She didn't answer her cell." Taylor said.
Sharpay sighed and shook her head, before dialing Gabriella's phone once again.
"She's probably on her way." Chad said, wrapping an arm around Taylor's shoulder.
"Yeah, but she said she'd be here by 7:30." Zeke said, as he rested his head on Sharpay's shoulder with a beer in hand. "It's already 8:30."
Kelsi looked toward Troy who was texting on his cellphone and sipping on a beer. "Do you know where Gabriella is?" she chuckled as she saw his confused face. "Wait, I forgot that you guy's haven't spoken in four days."
"Shut it, Kels." Troy said, glaring at the green-eyed girl.
"Hey, not my fault that you two are idiot's." she chuckled. She rolled her eye's as her chuckle began to die down. "Speaking of idiots." she muttered as Alexa began to walk over toward the group.
"Hey, peoples!" Alexa cheered.
Sharpay rolled her eye's and looped an arm around Zeke's waist. "Make her go away." she muttered into his chest.
Troy turned toward Alexa who was grinning at the group. "Alexa, you should really go." he said, taking another sip of his beer.
Alexa turned to him and smiled, before wrapping her arms around his shoulders, making the group cringe and glare at Troy who just sat there confused. "Troy Bolton, haven't spoken to you in a while." She lifted his left hand and rolled her eye's as she saw the silver engagement band. "So, I guess the rumors are true, eh? You and Gabriella are engaged. That's shocking considering last time I heard from you guy's, you two were broken up just because me and you kissed."
"For the hundredth time, me and you are nothing. I was upset and a bit drunk. It wasn't even a kiss, ok?" Troy said, shrugging her off and jumping off from the bar stool, noticing the group who sat on each other's laps staring at the two.
"Troy, last time I checked when you kiss someone on the lips, it means kissing. Where is Gabriella by the way, if your so holy toward her?" Alexa asked, crossing her arms and narrowing her eye's at Troy.
"I don't know," Troy shrugged, "but when she get's here, don't mess with her, hell, even us.?" he said, taking a sip of his beer.
Alexa smirked and slipped her arms around his neck as she noticed nobody saw Gabriella eyeing the two from the arcadia door. She slid her arms down to the collar of his red polo, before capturing his lips into a zealous kiss, leaving Gabriella and the gang stunned.
Troy shook his head and pushed her away from him. "What was that?" he asked, annoyance going through his voice. He and the gang were still oblivious to a tearful Gabriella as her chest heaved up and down, still looking at them in shock.
"Ask Gabriella." Alexa laughed, as she pointed toward Gabriella causing the group and Troy to look at the tearful brunette.
"Shit." Troy muttered as Gabriella shook her head and turned her back toward them, walking away into the backyard. He set his beer down and jogged toward her.
Sharpay stood up from the couch, standing in front of a chuckling Alexa. "What the hell is your problem?"
Alexa flipped her hair back and shrugged. "Nothing, Evans. Gabriella cries about everything. She's a sentamental gal. Chill."
she said, before turning and walking away into the crowd.
"Gabriella and Troy round one hundred to begin." Jason muttered, sighing.
"Gabriella!" Troy called out as she walked toward the bar that rested outside. His breath was ragged as he stood behind her. "What you saw was-"
"Nothing? Is that what you were going to say? Go to hell, Troy and stay away from me." Gabriella said, grabbing a beer from the cooler.
Troy looked at her baffled. "She kissed me and I didn't have any time to react." he said, following her as she walked toward the tent that was in the crowded back yard. He groaned and grabbed her arm. "Will you stop fucking walking away?"
Gabriella shrugged him off, glaring at him. "You didn't have any time to react? Well, isn't that the lamest excuse ever. I'm also going to suppose the whole gang that was sitting there didn't either. I knew this was going to happen. I told you that Monday and what did you tell me? 'Oh, Gabriella that's not going to happen. I actually have the gut's to tell her something. 'Apparently, you don't. Am I some fucking toy that people think they can mess with or something? You can go fuck off 'cause you can't even stand up for me. Telling her 'stop' doesn't help anything. Just stay away." she said, beginning to walk away. She sighed and shrugged him off once again as he grabbed her hand. "I said, fuck off and stay the hell away from me. Did I not make that clear?" she yelled, walking into the crowded tent.
Troy stared off at her and ran a hand through his hair, groaning lightly.
"Where's Gabriella?" Sharpay asked, as Troy walked back into the loud and dark house.
"I don't know." Troy muttered, reaching for another beer.
Gabriella laughed, loudly as she stood on top of the table dancing to "See You Again" by Miley Cyrus, heavily drunk. "The next time we hang out I will redeem myself..." she sang out loud, causing the on goers to watch and laugh at her. She unbuttoned her black vest and threw it to the side, giggling wildly with a beer in hand.
Sharpay, Troy, Zeke and Chad made confused faces as they walked into the loud and crowded tent. "Oh my god." Sharpay whispered, as she looked at Gabriella.
"I'll sing another one!" Gabriella cheered as the song ended. Drunk, she laughed as one of the on goers yelled "Throw your top off!"
"What the hell." Troy said, pushing past the crowded and standing in front of the table Gabriella stood on. "Gabriella, get down!"
Gabriella looked down towards him and glared at him. "Everyone look, it's Alexa's boyfriend!" she yelled, turning away from him causing the crowd to holler and chuckle.
Troy let out a breath, narrowing his eye's at her. "Get down." he gritted through his teeth.
"No! I said to stay the hell away from me!"
Sharpay sighed and walked toward the side of the table. "Gabs, come on. I'll take you home."
Gabriella shook her head and jumped off the table. "I need more beer!" she yelled, pushing past the crowd and walking out of the tent. She pushed Chad away as he gripped her arm. "Let go!" She laughed, as she tripped, falling to her knee's.
"Gabriella, will you stop. You're acting stupid." Troy said, grabbing her arm and pulling her up. He grabbed her hand as she began to walk away. "You're coming home with me."
"I'm not, Alexa's boyfriend. That's her job, ok? I'll find a ride home with somebody." Gabriella said, trying to shrug him off.
She screamed as he lifted her onto his shoulder. "Let me go!" she yelled, beginning to pound and kick him.
Troy rolled his eye's and nodded toward Sharpay. "Will you go get her shoes, vest and purse in there?" he asked.
Sharpay nodded and jogged back toward the tent.
"Stop." he warned, Gabriella who was still kicking and hitting him. He groaned and gripped her tighter, beginning to walk toward the gate to his car. "What the hell is your problem?"
"You kissed Alexa. What the hell is your problem?" she asked, struggling to get out of his tight grip.
Troy rolled his eye's. "I'm not gonna even have that argument with you, Gabriella. You're coming to my house!" he said, sitting her on the hood of his car, waiting for Sharpay to come back with her belongings.
Gabriella's eye's were red, almost with tears as she glared at him. "You can't make me do anything I don't want to." she replied, trying to jump off the hood, but unsuccessful as Troy pushed her back.
"Will you just stop?" he yelled, annoyed.
Gabriella looked down and fell into him, beginning to sob. "I don't feel good." she cried into his chest.
Troy brought her closer and began to run her back. "Just relax, Gabs. You probably just have to throw up or something." he said, confused at how her mood's changed when she was drunk. He moved quickly as she turned the other way and began to throw up, crying softly. He looked at Sharpay who was holding her belonging's.
"Make sure she's ok, okay? Call me in the morning or something." Sharpay said, throwing the items in the back of Troy's car.
Troy nodded. "Thanks, Shar."
Sharpay shrugged and clasped a hand on his shoulder. "Troy, I told you not to hurt her and look at this." she said, nodding toward Gabriella who was still crying and throwing up.
"I didn't mean-"
She held her arms out, stopping him. "Just take care of her."
Troy sighed and nodded. "Yeah, I will."
Sharpay smiled and began to walk away back toward the loud and crowded house.
"Come on." Troy said, carrying a drowsy Gabriella up the steps of his large house. He sighed, knowing his parents were out of town, as always. He shifted her and kicked the door open to his bedroom. He groaned and layed her on his bed. He walked toward his dresser and pulled a pair of his boxers and a shirt out and walked back over to Gabriella who was staring off at the ceiling, silently. "Put this on."
"Leave me alone." Gabriella whispered, turning to lay on her side, facing away from him.
Troy shook his head and turned her back, throwing the clothes on top of her. "Put them on, now."
Gabriella glared at him and stood up, quickly shaking off her black skinny jeans and lifting off her white ruffled top. She looked up to Troy who was looking through his nightstand's drawer. She slipped the pair of plaid boxers on and the plain black shirt on. "There." she said, throwing her other clothes to the side.
"Here." Troy said, handing her two Tylenol's. "It'll make your headaches that you'll have in the morning, less shitty."
Gabriella swallowed them quickly and lifted up the sheets to his queen sized bed, before slipping into them, eyeing him. She was silent as she stared off into space.
Troy stared at her as he slipped his jeans and t-shirt off, leaving him in boxers and a pair of ankle socks; his normal pyjama's. He turned the light off and snuggled into the other side of the bed, feeling the tension between the two. He sighed as Gabriella began to speak.
"When we broke up, I was a wreck ya'know? I couldn't sleep, eat and just enjoy life. I was heartbroken. Then a couple months later after that me and you began to talk again. I thought that it was great. I thought that we were gonna get back together and get to get back to where we were, but then our bickering started again, which led to the problem solving making-out. It didn't faze me for a while until I started realizing that I loved you again. I mean, I never stopped." She sighed as tears began to glaze over her eye's.
"You were everything to me, Troy. You still are. When our parents told us that we had to get married, I was more nervous and weirded out rather than upset and angry. There was always a place in me that wanted you to always be my husband. Then, we started talking and kinda getting along, which was cool, but then we'd start kissing or fighting again. Troy, when Alexa came back I felt like my world was ripped apart. I don't hate her for what may or may haven't happened for why we broke up. I hate her, because she's the only person that comes closet to having you. When I saw you kissing her I just felt all those fears coming true." she sniffled and hugged the pillow tightly.
"It scares me sometimes how much I love you. I don't know how we got like this, but I want it to stop. I just want you to be mine and just seal the deal. I love you, I really do. I don't know if I'm talking out of drunkenness or whatever although I'm pretty sure I'm not, also."
Troy turned to her and moved gently toward her.
Gabriella slid her hand into his as he wrapped an arm around her waist from behind, pulling her close. She turned around, crying and slid an arm around his neck, nuzzling and resting her face into the crock of his neck.
"Go to sleep, Gabs." He held her close, feeling her body become heavier as the minutes passed. He pulled away gently to see her eye's closed, peacefully. He pursed his lips together and stared at her for a moment, processing all of the secrets and such she just spilled to him. He tucked a stray piece of hair behind her ears while wrapping his arm around his small waist, pulling her close once again. He kissed her softly on her temple. "I love you." he whispered, before closing his eye's and waiting for morning to arrive.
A/N: So, the update wasn't on Sunday, but it was on Monday! Close! Haha.
