Chapter 3: Fights, Arguments and Dreams

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!?!" Came a loud voice from the door.

Both Troy and Chad looked at the door, only to see the coach of LA Lakers. "BOLTON! DANFORTH! BREAK THIS UP!!" The coach walked near them and screamed as loud as he can.

"If you still want to play on the court this season, then I suggest you two fix this mess." He whispered to Troy and Chad, and with that he left the two.

"What the hell are you looking at? Work!" Troy screamed to his staff.

Both men stood up and looked at each other. "I'm not done with you yet, Bolton." With that, Chad left the building.

Troy sat down on his chair and took a look at his face. "This is shit."

Chad's House

Chad heard someone open the door. "Thanks for being here, Gabi." He said as he turned around, Gabriella gasped at what she saw in front of her—a bruised, and pounded up Chad.

"Chad, what happened to you?" Gabriella ran up to Chad and took a look at his face carefully.

"I got into a fight. This is what I get for trying to put up with a guy who is bigger than me."

"Who did you get into a fight with?"

"Umm…"

"Who?"

"Umm… Troy."

"What?"

"Yeah, Troy."

"I thought you were in good terms?"

"Well, he came here earlier and saw all of my kids, and he now knew that I kept a very big secret from him for so long."

"So that's why Alex saw his car outside your house." Chad nodded in response.

"Then, I went to his office to try and fix things out. But then I was met with a very angry Troy, he started screaming and telling me that I lied about you—"

"Wait, about me?" Gabriella interrupted.

"Yeah, and I don't know how he knew. Maybe, he saw you when you and Alex went here earlier for the movie night; I bet he was just outside the house."

"But why does he have to do this to you?! It's not right!"

"I'm the one who strike first. He was mad and I was mad."

"Even so, then I should also be telling you why do your have to fight with him."

"Funny…" Chad said as Gabriella put on the last bandage on him. "And he even demands the he has the right to know, because he WAS your boyfriend."

"What?! Okay, that was before! I mean, does he have to know everything?! Why can't he just accept that he won't see or hear or ever see me again?! Why can't he just move on from the past?" Gabriella screamed all over the room.

"You can't blame him, Gabs. He loved you then and I bet he still loves you now, you took his love and accepted it but then you broke his heart. Which is suppose to leave him mad at you, but he understood why you needed to break up with him, I mean, because that's what your excuse was, trying to push him away earlier so it won't hurt when the right time comes. At least that's what he knows as your reason." Chad explained.

"Shut up. Be glad I'm helping you with your cuts and bruises or else you'll be in hospital swarmed by paparazzi." Gabriella stuck out her tongue.

"Just don't mind that ass-hole Troy." Chad bad-mouthed his ex-best friend, as he calls it.

"No. I don't like anybody who thinks I'm theirs, but I'm not. I'm gonna deal with Troy and you, you stay here and rest. Got that?" Gabriella said as she had put her instructions.

"Got it Momma." Chad grinned.

"Whatever Chad, I'll be back by tomorrow to see if your okay." Chad nodded.

Gabriella left Chad's house and walked to her house, she was about to go inside her house when she spotted an Audi r8 parked outside her house.

Gabriella's POV

Hold on, that car looks very familiar. I walked at the back of it to look at its plate… 'GOLDEN B'.

"So you recognize it, I thought you won't." Troy frightened me when he came out from the dark with a mysterious smile. Troy's face was also bruised; poor Troy and Chad had to fight like the world is gonna end, and now look at what they end up on? Nothing but bruises on the bodies and faces. I noticed that Troy was holding a bottle of beer, he must've came from the bar. And boy, this isn't good.

"Troy."

"I thought you forgot about me."

"Don't you use that mysterious type on me. You, you son of a bitch! You think you still own me? You think you still have the right to know everything about me? I don't think so Bolton!" I was about to go when he caught me right in the arm.

"Let go of me!" I squirmed .

"You're the one who broke up with me. If it's easy for you to forget me, then fine, but it's not easy for me to forget about you." Troy hissed at me.

"If you only know how it also pains me every single day. My son loves you, he is your number one fan, and it pains me to see him happy seeing you and knowing everything about you, it pains because he doesn't know the background about us. It pains to lie to him." A tear fell from my eye, I quickly wiped it away.

"Then why don't you just be with me now, take me back! If it pains you then just take me back again!" Troy grew impatient, he screamed at me.

"It's not that easy! I have a son, a life which I don't want to ruin! My life was peaceful without you, and it shall remain like that forever." And with that, I snatched back my arm from his grasp and ran inside the house, wiping the tears that had fallen on my way in.

Nobody's POV

Troy's hand formed into a fist, he breathed out heavy and screamed loudly to the world. He sat down on the bench that was near by and drank everything in that bottle of beer, not a single drop was left. After drinking, he stood up and threw the bottle of beer on the cemented floor, it shattered into pieces; once again, he screamed.

Alex's POV

I sat on my room, still staring outside. The past happenings I saw were unbelievable to my eyes, it was like some sort of nightmare, but the difference is that my eyes are wide open.

Flashback in Alex's POV

I heard a car tire screech outside the house, so I looked outside. I thought it was my mom, but then I saw a very familiar car, Troy Bolton's car. What could Troy be doing here? I asked myself. Suddenly he went out of the car angrily and closed the car door with full force. As I saw him through the light, I saw he was holding a bottle of beer in his hand; he drank it and wiped his mouth.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing, Troy Bolton drinking and getting drunk. I thought he was the idol I was looking for, the one who didn't do bad things. I thought he was the dad I was looking for. I thought he was all Mr. Goody-two-shoes as the press told. But then again, I can say, that's what I thought it was.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when I saw my mom coming up to our house. I quickly went to bed and pretended that I am asleep, because if she sees me still awake, I'm dead.

As I was slowly drifting off to my pretend sleep, I heard shouts. I quickly looked at the window to see Troy grab my mom on the arm. I quickly ran down stairs to try and help my mom. As I got down stairs, I heard my mom say:

I didn't understand what they were talking about. Why was it about me? I stayed to listen, to figure out what was going on. I heard Troy say:

"Then why don't you just be with me now, take me back! If it pains you then just take me back again!"

He sounded like he was ready to strangle my mom. But I won't let that happen, ever. I heard my mom fire another angry statement, saying:

"It's not that easy! I have a son, a life which I don't want to ruin! My life was peaceful without you, and it shall remain like that forever."

What? I didn't get anything at all. I heard running footstep towards the door, I quickly ran to my room and pretended to sleep. My mom came in and I can hear her crying. I felt a tear drop on my cheek but she quickly wiped it away and gently caressed my cheek.

She leaned into my ear and whispered something. "I love you Alex. You shall know everything soon, but for now, let's just keep things the way they are. I love you son." With that, my mom kissed my cheek and left the room.

I slowly sat up and took a deep breath. I walked up to my window and looked outside. What is happening? Why is all of this happening? Why does my mom need to suffer like this? What did she mean by 'you shall know everything soon'? Did she keep a secret from me? And what does everything got to do with Troy?

End of Alex's POV Flashback

Nobody's POV

The next morning, Alex woke up in heavy breathing. The happenings last night were repeating in his head. He quickly stood up and walked to the window to see if what was on his head was only a nightmare or if it really happened. He was relieved to see that there was no black car and no shattered bottle of beer outside their house, so he thought it was only a nightmare. That's what he thought it was, but it was actually real, it all happened last night.

Alex took a deep breath and prepared for the day. As Alex went downstairs, he saw his mom on the kitchen counter. He saw some Advil on the counter and also and ice bag.

"Umm… Morning Mom. Are you okay?" Alex asked as he approached Gabriella and gave her a light kiss on the cheek.

"Yes, of course. Why did you ask?" Gabriella was confused.

"Because there's Advil and an ice bag on the counter, unless you're not the one who used it—Aha! You had someone here last night didn't you? Have you been dating?" Gabriella just laughed at Alex's theory.

"Oh Alex, I'm not dating anybody and no one was here last night. I just got a little headache, that's all." Gabriella replied to her son.

Flashback

Gabriella woke up 4 o'clock in the morning and quickly dressed up and looked if Troy was still there, with no luck, he was still there. Gabriella went out and knocked on Troy's car window.

Tok! Tok! Tok!

"Troy!" Gabriella shouted from outside. "Troy! Open the door!" Troy woke up and opened the door.

"What—OWW!" Troy said as the pain struck his head.

"Are you okay?" Gabriella asked, worriedly.

"He—oww—headache!" Troy managed to say it through the pain.

"Come inside the house Troy. We'll fix that headache." Troy stood up and followed Gabriella in the house.

Gabriella took out an Advil, ice bag, and she started preparing to make Troy a cup of coffee. Troy sat on the dinning room and kept on groaning of the pain. Gabriella sat beside Troy with the Advil, ice bag, and cup of coffee.

"Here, drink this." Gabriella said as she gave Troy the Advil and a glass of water, after he had drunk it down, she gave him a cup of coffee. "Here's some coffee and an ice bag, put it in your face. You're full of bruises. I'll be back, I'll just get my first aid kit."

After Gabriella had taken the first aid kit, she cured, and bandaged Troy's cuts and bruises. A little later, around six o'clock, Gabriella woke Troy up from his sleep in the couch.

"Troy, wake up." Gabriella shook Troy. "Troy." Troy shifted and sat up.

He yawned and looked at Gabriella. "Umm… Thanks Gabi."

Gabriella put a finger on his mouth to 'shush' him. "Do not call me Gabi because we are still not in good terms. I am just nice to you now because if Alex sees you, that would be chaos. Got it?" Troy just nodded in response and Gabriella took off her finger off of his mouth. "He'll be down here in thirty minutes, so you better go."

"Okay. Anyway, thanks again Gabriella. I hope we can arrange a proper meeting soon." Troy said, biding his goodbye to Gabriella.

"Whatever Troy." This just made Troy smile. "Go, before he sees you and before that paparazzi catch you in my household."

"Well, I don't mind if they do." Troy gave Gabriella a cheesy smiled, which earned him a glare. "Okay, I'm going. Bye." Troy waved as he went out.

End of Flashback

"Oh. Well, I was just making sure because I had a very weird dream. Some sort of nightmare." Alex explained.

"What happened in the dream?"

"Well, it's like this. Troy arrived here drunk, and then you guys started arguing. And I was part of your argument and I don't why." As Alex started telling his dream, Gabriella stiffened. So he saw all that happened last night? Gabriella thought. "And then you went to my room and you were crying and you whispered something to me, you said that 'You shall know everything soon, but for now, let's just keep things the way they are.'" Alex looked at his mom weirdly. "And you know what the weirdest thing about it?"

"What?"

"Is that it feels like its real. It feels like you hid something from me. It feels like you lied to me."
