Chapter 6

Gabriella was heartbroken, when troy hadn't respned to her calls or texts. He would ignr her whenever they had passed in the hallways. He would avoid all eye contact with her. Then one day she had enough, and went to his house seeking for answers.

Gabriella rang the doorbell. The door opened to reveal Lucille Bolton. Gabriella had always referred her as her second mother.

Lucille was shocked. She hadn't seen gabriella in days. When she saw her son come home in tears she wondered what had happened. She had never seen her son so devastated and hurt.

" Oh, Gabriella! Where have you been?" Lucille said Hugging Gabriella very tightly.

Gabriella felt a lump in her throught. She swallowed to prevent from crying. She pulled away and forced a smile.

" Hey, Mrs.b.." SHe started but stopped." Uhh.. I mean Lucille. I just came by to talk to Troy?" She said looking around the house hoping to find him. Lucille noticed this.

" Outside. Basketball court." She said simply. Gabriella just nodded and went outback lke this was her home. It was her home.

She walked outside to see Troy attempting to make a basket but failed miserably. He tried again but he missed. He finally gave up and fell back on the grass with his head in his hands.

He couldn't concentrate on anything! His grades were slipping. He was amazed at how fast everything was happening. Just a few days ago, he had average but good grades and the most amazingest girlfriend ever. Now everything is falling apart. The only thing he cared about besides Basketball was slipping away. Everything would have been ok and perfect if she didn't have togo cheating on me. He groaned in frustration and got up headed to go back inside.

He looked at the door and saw Her standing at he doorr. His eyes turned into fury. What was she doing here? Didn't she get the message.

Gabriella noticed the change in his eyes. The eyes that were like ocean blue now was turning into grey he was getting mad. Why?

" Troy..." Sh started not knowing what to say. She didn't know why he was ignoring her.

"Don't. Just Don't. Just leave." He said coldly. Not looking her in the eyes. Gabriella was taken aback by his attitude. She started going closer to him.

" Troy, What's wrong? Why are you ignoring me?" She asked getting kind of scared for his answer. The look in his eyes was scaring her.

Troy finally looked at her. He noticed the fear in her eyes. He loved her. But, he couldn't do this, anymore.

"Why don't you go ask you new boyfriend?" He hissed and backed away from her a little.

Gabriella was confused. " New Boyfriend? Troy what are you talkiing about? I don't understand." She said

" I saw you, Gabriella With him. With you Ex- Or should i say Current now." he said. Gabriella looked at him he had pain and hurt written all over his face. Gabriella then realized what he was talking about. He was there, he saw him kissing her.

" Troy... Listen.." She got interrupeted by Troy. He put his hand up.

" I was coming to apologize to you, i felt so bad for hanging up on you like that. I even bought flowers and everything. I had everything planned for tonight. I was going to give you this promise ring..." He said then reached in his pocket and pulled it out. Gabriella gasped, she put on of her hands on her mouth. It was beautiful. it was a personalized ring, it had a diamond in the middle, and around the ring it had, Love, Forever and Always written on it. Gabriella felt tears coming up. He was gong to give her a ring.

Troy saw the look on her face and felt his heart break. This was not the way he wanted to show her. He immediately closed it and put it back in his pocket.

" My dad had helped me pick the ring out, but i personalized it with the words written on it. I was so excited to give it to you tonight, but then..." He couldn't even say it, it hurt too much.

Gabriella couldn't help it and a single tear fell down her face.

" Troy, It didn't mean anything! He came onto me! I tried pushing him off but he was too strong!Troy you have to beleive me!" She pleaded. But troy would not have any of this! He couldn't hear anymore!

" Gabriella, Just don't! I don't want talk to hear about it! I trusted you! I can't believe you would go behind my back! Why did you have to lie to me?" Troy said with tears in his eyes.

" Troy, I didn't lie to you! Taylor was actually there, I didn't even invite him! He just came!" She said, trying to convince him. Troy just shook his head and started walking away.

" Gabriella just do ourselves a favor and pretend this thing between us never happened." He said before walking away. Gabriella just stood there staring at the spot where he just was. She broke down into tears.
