REVIEW!!
SORRY FOR SPELLING
Previously -
I heard his voice, the voice i hadn't heard in ages, unless it was on the television or radio giving an interview or doing a commercial. "Hey Brie" He said softly and my heart fluttered.
"Oh My God" I croaked out.
He still looked the same, maybe a bit more neater and 'rich' looking but i could tell, it was the Troy who had left me those two years ago. I stared at him, in shock, my jaw practically hitting the pool floor. His eyes, they still sparkled - But not as they did in the magazines, there was just something different about them on a magazine cover and the real life version; Maybe they were fake and pretend on the magazine? I didn't know. But right now,.his eyes were glittering, the sun reflecting on them, causing my breath to hitch in my throat. Boy oh boy did they shine. I found myself silently wading through the water to the edge of the pool, using my arms to heave myself up and climb out at the side - Instantly coming face to face with him.
I wasn't sure how to react -
Part of me was in shock.
Part of me wanted to hug him.
Part of me wanted to hit him.
Part of me wanted to run away and pretend he hadn't just walked back into my life.
Secretly though..
Part of me just wanted to kiss him.
"Wh-Wha-What are you doing here Troy?" I stuttered, fully aware that every single pair of eyes at the party were resting upon Troy and I. I was pretty sure most of them were because they couldn't believe the hottest and most succesful basketball player in the NBA was at my birthday party, talking to me. But some, the ones who really knew the truth - were staring because they couldn't believe that the guy who had left me heartbroken, had returned.
"It's your 19th Birthday Gabriella, did you really think i'd miss that after i missed your 18th?" He asked "I'm sorry about that by the way"
"But.." I began, only to be cut off by the splash of water then a voice.
"Gabriella, aren't you going to introduce us?" Asked Jason, as he wrapped his arm around my petite waist and pulled me closer to him. I looked at Troy, who was looking at Jason and putting 2 and 2 together. He looked hurt, disappointed, sad...I felt guilty.
"Yeah sure. Umm Troy, meet Jason - My boyfriend. Jason meet Troy Bolton" I said, watching as Jason held his hand out in a gentleman like manner. Troy shook it with great distaste, almost as if he had a invisiable force, making him do exactly the opposite of what he wanted.
"Man, your a huge idol of mine" Jason smiled innocently. He didn't have a clue - He really didn't; I felt another pang of guilt.
"Cool" Troy said looking thoroughly confused, but un-bothered.
"Hey Gabs" Came a voice from behind Troy.
"Oh my god! Chad!" I exclaimed, hugging him excitedly. I had missed Chad a hell of alot.
He hugged me back before releasing me. "Alright everyone! Shows over!" Taylor yelled at the spectators in the garden, immedietely, they returned to their conversations and various activities. "Hey Chad" Taylor said, hugging her friend before turning to Troy. "Hi Troy" She said curtiously, although i could tell she looked about ready to kill him.
"Taylor" He nodded, before hugging her. It was a real hug fest and i couldn't help but notice, Troys eyes never left me once.
"Hey Jay.." I began, looking at Jason who was had returned to his position, his arm around my waist. "Can you go get me a drink?"
"Sure thing babe" Jason said, planting a quick kiss on my lips before walking away. I watched as some of our friends gathered around him - Presumably asking how the hell i knew The Troy Bolton and what was it like that Jason, himself had met him.
I turned back to Troy who had still not removed his eyes from me. I stared back into his deep blue pools that were no longer sparkling...In fact, they were filled with hurt and betrayal, which i really couldn't understand. Wasn't it him who had hurt me? Betrayed me? Why the heck was I feeling guilty?
"Troy, what are you doing here?" I asked softly, putting my thoughts to the side.
"I told you, i'm back for your Birthday"
"But Troy, we haven't spoken in at least a year." I stated.
"I know and im sorry, i have been so caught up in basketball, i missed you though" He said, smiling - (My longly missed, favourite, crooked smile of his.)
"Troy.." I sighed
"Jasons coming back" Taylor whispered to me.
I nodded, pulling my eyes off Troy so i could receive my drink succesfully from Jason.
"There you go babes" Jason said, handing me the cup before smiling at me at then turning to Troy. "So Troy, what brings you here?"
"Came to visit an old friend." Troy said, no emotion on his face - It was like he was talking to a non-responsive brick wall instead of an actual human being.
"Yeah Gabriella told me you and her were friends before you left for L.A"
"Yeah"
"We lost contact though" I added.
Troy stared at me, his expression thoughtful. "I never forgot you Gabi"
He looked...innocent. Like over the past 2 years he had done absolutely nothing wrong. I was surprised at my reaction to his face.. I felt..angry. More then angry.. I was pissed.
I scoffed "Could have fooled me. You were too caught up in your lifestyle. You had no time for me"
"That's not completely True..I tried." Troy replied, noticing my anger.
"Tried. Yes, you tried...At the beginning. But then you didn't give a fuck"
"Thats not true" Troy stated. I was fully aware that once again, everyone was staring at us. Our voices weren't raised but the tension was evident.
"Its is Troy!" I argued.
"Brie.."
I felt my blood boiling more at his guilt ridden face. I probably shouldn't have been getting this angry - Maybe i should have? I wasn't sure. But there was just something about seeing him there. In front of me, after all the heart ache he had caused me and i couldn't help it.
I reached my hand up, taking one big swing back and pushing it forward, the air rushing through the cracks inbetween my fingers before connecting it with his cheek in one hard SLAP! I watched as Troy cringed away, stumbling ever so slightly in the shock as everyone around us gasped. He stretched his jaw out before rubbing it with his own hand. I stepped forward menancingly so i was inches away from him. God i could smell him perfectly - The same, sexy smell he had posessed back when we were together. I snapped out of the trance quickly, tears prickling my eyes, before mumbling to him. "Go fuck yourself" and then i ran. I pushed past him and ran down the garden, ignoring the people calling my name - The distinct voices of Taylor, Chad, My dad, Jason and even Troy himself.
I pushed through the back door, tears now running freely down my face - I wiped them away quickly before climbing up the stairs towards Taylors bedroom. I opened her bedroom door, rummaging around for my clothes in an angry, upset surge. I pulled on the clothes i could find in a matter of a minute, before i found myself overcome by tears. My breath was catching in my throat, i was sobbing loudly and i found myself shaking. I fell onto Taylor beds helplessly, crawling into a ball on mattress, my knees brought up to my chest, my arms wrapped around them as i sobbed and scrunched my eyes closed.
I didn't know i wasn't alone any longer, until i felt a hands on my arms, trying to pry them away from myself. I was weak, i allowed it - Refusing to open my eyes however because i knew who it was, almost instantly. There was only one person with that particular touch. I found myself getting pulled onto a lap and arms getting wrapped around me. "Im Sorry Jason" I whispered sadly after a few minutes. (A/N: Haha, bet you thoughts that was Troy :P)
"Hey Babes, what are you sorry for? I don't know why you slapped him, but im proud of you for sticking up for yourself" Jason chuckled. "Whatever the reason."
I sobbed softly. "Is he hurt?"
"Troy Bolton? Ha no...He is fine. He seems upset though because of something else...Im guessin there is something your not telling me." Jason said into my ear as he tightened his grip around me, comfortingly.
I was hiding something from him. THAT was obvious - I couldn't tell him though. Not right now, not right at this moment because i wasn't prepared for whatever way he would take it. "There is. I will tell you soon, but right not now Jay. I just can't" I told him.
I felt him nodd "When your ready babes."
I sighed. "Where is Troy now?"
"He wanted to come up here. But Taylor said that wasn't a good idea, so of course I came" Jason said. I pulled away from him, wiping my eyes.
"He is still at the party?" I asked.
"Yeah im guessing so. Are you gonna talk to him?"
I shook my head slightly before sighing. "I don't know"
"Look, obviously i don't like that he has hurt you Gabi because i love you. But i can tell he meant alot to you.. as a friend and that. So maybe you should talk to him and sort this out?"
I sighed again, my mind buzzing. I leant forward, planting a soft kiss onto Jasons lips "Your too good for me you know that?"
"I see it as, your definetly to good for me" he told me, turning his head as he kissed my wet cheeks in turn. I turned fully on his lap so i was straddling him, wrapping my arms around his neck before leaning in and kissing him on the lips. I smiled into the kiss, realising that the kiss hadn't changed. I had been worried that i would feel nothing - That now Troy was back i might have felt different and that there may have been no spark. Sparks were VERY important.
I found myself rapidly getting into the kiss, my fingers tangled in his hair, my lower half surprisingly grinding against his gently. I moaned into the kiss while Jason shifted me on his lap, his hands on my waist, his thumbs massaging my skin. I felt Jasons hand beginning to slide up, under my top when all of the sudden Taylors bedroom door swung open and a loud "Not on my bed!!" come from the doorway. I sprang away from Jay, standing up and straightening myself up, blushing madly before i looked up at the person in the doorway.
"Woah..Umm sorry Tay" I mumbled as Jason stood up beside of me.
"One sec, lemme just block that from my memory..." Taylor said.
We all stood in literal silence for a moment while Taylor scrunched up her face in concentration. "Ok Gone" She smiled at me "Im guessing your feeling better?"
I blushed.
"Feeling well enough to talk to Troy? He is flipping out because he couldn't come and check if you were alright. Y'know I was thinking, he is like Ryan Atwood off The O.C - All strong nd muscular, flipping out when he cant help the damzel in distress." (A/N: Sorry for the next few comments...Im watching The O.C Right now XD.)
"Really?"
"Yeah, Chads like Seth Cohen, trying to calm him down in a very geekish, not really working kind of way. By the way, nice slap back there. It was impressive, you were all very...Summer Roberts on his ass" Taylor remarked
I smiled slightly. "Ok enough with The OC character stuff, Tay"
"Alright, But your dad and everyone else at the party is asking about you and what was going on - Y'Know, this is sooo like a Newport, OC get together...Theres always drama." Taylor told me, smiling.
"Tay! Seriously, enough with The O.C stuff. Jeez." I groaned "Well, I better come down anyway" I said.
"Yeah that would be a good start" Taylor nodded, turning around and walking away, Jason and I following her.
By the time we reached the garden, and i looked down the path way..I could see the party was still in motion. Some people were in the pool, but most were around the sides, talking about god knows what (I don't even want to think about it). I stopped quickly, before turning to Jason. "Do i look okay? I don't look like i have been crying right?" I wondered.
Jason chuckled, before slinging his arm gently over my shoulder. "Baby, you look perfect" He told me, gently leaning forwards, indicating for me to begin walking again. As we reached the party, his hand slid down my back and connected with one of my hands - Entwining our fingers.
I could see Troy almost at once, sitting on a sun lounger, his elbows resting on his knees while his head was in his hands. I noticed Chad was standing beside him, in a tense like manner - His arms crossed over his chest as if waiting for Troy to make a move or...combust or something. I then noticed Kevin sitting on a sun lounger next to Troys looking rather awkward and out of place.
I sighed as people around, began to notice me and the fact i was back at the party. I didn't take too long before Chad, Kevin and of course Troy noticed me. It seemed within a matter of seconds, Troy was standing in front of me, Chad flanking his right side while Kevin was walking over to Taylor who was standing on the opposite side of me to Jason.
"Gabriella, im sorry. Look, can we talk?" Troy pleaded. His blue eyes looked dark, but soft, very, very soft. Like puppy dogs eyes that little kids have a hard time resisting.
"Later Troy" I muttered.
"When?" He asked desperately.
"After the party" I told him strictly.
"Ok, Ok whenever you want to. Gabriella, i'll be here."
"Ha, i won't hold my breath" I mocked, walking past Troy, pulling Jason along with me.
As i walked through the party crowd, i could practically feel Troys eyes..boring into the back of my head and for one small fraction of a second - I wanted to turn around and run straight back into his arms and kiss his perfect lips that i had missed soo much since he had left me.
It was surprising that in one hour...Things had been twisted, turned and flipped.
It seemed my life could be anything...But boring.
So everyone...Wanna kill me? Ya Mee too. Ok so i feel i should explain myself.
