Chapter 16
Life…
"Troy I love it!" I said. We were finally done unpacking. The girls left yesterday and now we're officially in our new home.
"I'm glad you love it" he said putting his arm around me.
"Now all we have to do is get married and knocked up then we'll be good for life" I joked. Troy laughed.
"I kind of hope it's a little different then that but ok" he said laughing.
"oh of course!" I said. I was on top of his legs now on our new couch, making out with him.
"We should love stain our new couch" troy said.
"We should" I said.
****
A few hours later troy and I were done…staining the couch.
"It's a lot funner when you live in a house" troy said. I was lying on his chest and he had his arm down close to my butt.
"Yea I think so too…but I'd really like to know about how fun it is in our bed" I said.
Troy already had his boxers back on and I had his t-shirt on so we walked up to our room, up our stairs…in our house! I will never get over that!
We went to the room and had some more fun…
***
"Ok troy I'll be back in a few hours!" I said the next day. Last night all troy and I did was have sex…I guess I'm little sore and tired but today I'm going to try on my dress! I have an appointment next week for the bridesmaids and all. Today Sharpay is coming with me…I know your supposed to have like all your girlfriends with you but…my sisters still aren't talking to me.
I can't believe lettie mad at me for that. I thought sisters forgave each other and be happy for each other…
"Ok bye Brielle" he said from the shower. I walked out the back door into the garage. I met Sharpay at the parking lot on Main Street and we went to the dress shop.
"Gabi I'm sorry but I'll only be able to stay for the dress…Zeke is taking me out tonight"
"Ok cool…" I said. I didn't mind…I kind of like it when I'm the only one working on the details.
"Hi I'm Gabriella Montez I have an appointment for today." I said.
"Oh hey Gabriella…yea just come back here and I'll get the dresses" she said. We went to the back room and she brought in some racks of dresses.
3 hours later…
"UGH! Gabi you have tried on 15 dresses! Please just pick one or make your own!" Sharpay said. It's been 3 hours and I still haven't found the right dress.
"it's not that easy Shar…it's like my mom and sisters said you know you found the right dress when you see yourself in it and you don't want to take it off" I said.
"What about this one?" the lady said. I looked over and saw a long white gown with a big lavender sash that goes all the way down the train.
"I love it….here help me put it on!" I said. They helped me slip it on and zipped it up.
"Oh my…Gabi look" Sharpay said. I looked in the mirror…
"This is it" I said. I loved it!
"You look beautiful" Sharpay said. I smiled.
"I want this one" I said.
"Well…ok it's on clearance so it's only 200" she said. I smiled bigger.
We were walking out of the shop.
"Take care of my dress Shar!" I said. Sharpay is keeping the dress at her house so troy doesn't try to sneak a peak at it.
"I will. Bye loves you" she said.
"Bye loves you" I said and she drove off. I went back to my car. Everything is done! Everything is paid for. Now all I have to do is start planning the layout. I purchased all the materials and booked all the preparations…now putting all of it together. One of the spare rooms at the house is filled with wedding stuff.
My phone rang.
"Hello?" I answered it.
"Gabi?" it was Eva.
"Oh…hey Eva…what's up?"
"Come to the hospital…its Lettie…she uh lost the baby"
"I'll be there in a sec" I said. I turned around and sped to the hospital.
I got there across town in 2 minutes. A new record for me! I was too busy thinking about lettie to be proud of my accomplishment. I know if I was a real bitch I wouldn't care. But she's my sister she needs me. I would never want her to be hurting.
"Lettie Cortez" I said to the front desk.
"Family only"
"I am family!"
Then she looked up. "Wait…you're..."
"Yea yea I'm Gabi Montez from la Chicas now tell me where my sister is!" I said.
"Room 200" she said. I ran to the room. I saw the others in the waiting room.
"How is she? Is she ok?" I said.
"Oh Gabi I am so sorry!" Eva said and hugged me.
"Me too Eva. Now where's Lettie?" I asked.
"She's in the room with Mami…Chris ditched…John and Jerry went to go get him and all of his stuff was gone" she said.
"Oh my god" I said. I went into the room and stopped.
"MAMI JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" lettie snapped. Mami just put her hands down and rested her head in one.
"Lettie" I said. She looked up and so did mami.
"I'll let you guys talk" mami said.
When mami left Lettie and I were silent.
"Are you ok?" I asked breaking the ice.
She let out a small laugh. "Gabi, why are you here?" she asked.
I was confused. "I have been the biggest bitch in the world during the time you should be happy, but I wasn't there with you…why are you concerned about me?" she said.
"Because you're my sister" I said. I went over to her.
"I'm so sorry" she said breaking down. She sobbed in the creak of my neck.
"Shhh…lettie it's ok" I calmed her down. I let her cry all she wanted to.
"We were going to name him Gabriel…I wanted him to be as strong as you and have all of your personality…but I wanted him to look like me." She said. I laughed.
"He would've had so much of you in him Lettie…"
"I shouldn't have tried to find her" she said.
"What?" I asked.
"I went to go find Daniela…" she said.
"What happened?" I asked.
"That guy was there…and he pushed me...down…he pushed me down the stairs."
"Did you see Daniela?" I asked.
"No he said she left back in February…he said she said something about her sister giving her a deadline" I thought about what I told Daniela that day in the mall…
"Then what happened?"
"I was upstairs and we were yelling. I called him the biggest insult to al people…and that Daniela should've left him after the first date…that's all I remember…"
"Oh lettie" I said hugging her.
"I had to find her Gabi…"
"We will" I said.
"I shouldn't have gone by myself…it's my entire fault I lost my baby" she said.
"No sweetie it isn't. You were protecting your sister, you didn't think he would do that to you."
"I should have protected him first!" she said.
"Lettie, nothing I can say can make this better"
"Can you at least tell me you forgive me?"
"Of course…I'm sorry too"
We hugged.
"Um Mrs. Cortez…" the nurse came in.
"Yea?"
"You can go home" she said.
"Ok thank you" lettie said.
"You want me to help you get dressed?" I asked. She nodded.
"Lettie, if you want me to I can postpone my wedding" I said.
"Gabriella Montez soon to be Bolton are you nuts! No! I will not let anything that happened to me ruin your day. I want to know everything about your wedding and help any way I can" she said.
"Well…I got my dress today…after you take a few days to rest ill get you and Eva to Sharpay's to see it" I said.
"Really? Who made it?" she asked.
"Vera" I said.
"Really it must've cost a fortune"
"Nah just 200, it was at the shop on main street and it was on clearance"
"Always catching the bargains" she said as I helped her slip on her jeans.
"Lettie would you like to stay with us tonight?"
"I don't want to bug you guys"
"You won't…I know your probably not ready to walk in that house yet are you"
She shook her head. "You can stay with us as long as you need" I said.
"What would troy say?"
"nothing…he doesn't have a say"
She laughed. "Thanks Gabi" she said hugging me. I helped her walk out. When the family saw us they rushed over and hugged her.
"Oh Lettie" Eva said hugging her.
I walked over to troy.
"Troy…"
"Uh oh…"
"I invited Lettie to stay with us. She isn't ready to walk in that house again…" I said. he looked like he was thinking…then his face softened and smiled.
"Ok" he said. I smiled too. He is so perfect.
"Lettie are you going back to the house?" mami asked.
"No mami, Gabi invited me to stay" lettie said. Mami looked over at me and smiled.
"Mija" she said hugging me.
"Mami its ok" I said.
"You're too much like me" she said. I smiled.
"I know" I said.
Lettie signed herself out and we went to my car. Troy was driving, he came in with John.
"I won't stay long you guys…troy I'm so sorry" Lettie said.
"Lettie you can stay as long as you want. No need to apologize for anything your family" troy said. I love him!
"He's right Lettie, you're my sister and we love you"
Lettie smiled. I could see it in her eyes though she was hurt.
"Now Lettie, you are going to be in bed and I am going to do everything for you! There will be no boutique, no nothing!" I said.
"Gabi I'm fine!"
"No! You need rest…"
"Brielle…" troy gave me that warning tone.
"What troy! She's my big sister and I have to take care of her!"
"Gabi really I just want to go to sleep" she said.
I looked at her she looked like she needed sleep. "Ok" I said. We got to the house.
"Here's your room Lettie, I'll get you some of my sweats and a tank top so you'll be more comfortable" I said. I came back a few minutes later with them.
"Thanks again Gabs…" she said. I smiled and walked out. I went to the living room where troy was.
"Hey" I said.
"Hey" he said scooting over to make some room.
I cuddled under his arm so it was around my shoulder and brought my legs up to my chest.
"I need to find him and Daniela" I said.
"Brielle…" he said.
"Troy no…it's not right what Chris did…I'm worried…and Daniela, I should've found her months before."
"I'm not gonna be able to stop you am I" he said.
"No" I simply said.
"Ok" he said and kissed my head and we went on watching a movie on TV.
So I came up with a new idea and it may be more than 20 chapters…or maybe it will be 20…well it will be between 20 to 25 chapters. Review please!! Thanks!!
