Love's spelled D.I.S.A.S.T.E.R 1x19
Troy kept on staring down at Gabriella the whole time she was asleep, he even ignored the person who was ringing the doorbell like a maniac. He simply couldn't look away from her bruised face; he should've killed him. Hurting Gabriella is the worst thing you could do to get Troy mad, it was like digging your own grave, too bad that Shane wouldn't use his.
After a 3 hour nap, Gabriella finally fluttered her eyes opened only to stare into another pair of blue eyes; there was something different in them, they were a little darker. Why was he angry at her?
"How did you sleep?" Troy asked.
Gabriella nodded "Good…" she yawned and rubbed her face.
"How's your soreness?" he asked as he placed a hand over her lower stomach.
"A little better, still hurts though" she said not really caring about it. She was more aware of his touch than anything else.
Troy nodded and kissed the top of her head.
"I'm hungry" she said as she traced Troy's abs above his shirt. Troy chuckled a little; it was weird to him to hear his own laughter.
"What do you want?" he asked as he stood up slowly from the bed.
"I'll go with you, I don't want to be stuck in the bed all day" she smiled up at him and sat up. Troy nodded and walked up to her side; but before he could help her up, she stood up by herself.
Troy smiled at her and took her hand before walking out of his room. Once they were on the living room, Troy practically made Gabriella sit down while he 'cooked'.
"Troy!" She groaned. "Don't burn the kitchen down! Please! I'm begging!"
Troy rolled his eyes at her. "A little more faith in me, Please?"
Gabby groaned. "At least let me sit in the kitchen table… just… precaution…" she looked at him with pleading eyes and Troy sighed, helping her up.
"You wound my ego, you know that?" he looked at her and they walked to the kitchen.
**20 minutes later**
"See? I told you I wouldn't burn anything!" Troy said as he put a bowl of Mac n' Cheese on the kitchen table, in front of Gabriella.
"And the flames coming out from the first try, wasn't burning something?" she raised her eyebrows at him and Troy glared at her.
"Just eat!" he rolled his eyes as he poured himself a glass of coke.
"I'm not so sure if this is eatable" she joked and made faces to the bowl, which looked pretty good actually.
"Then we'll order pizza" he rolled his eyes and took a sip from his coke.
Gabriella giggled and took a bite from the Mac n' Cheese. Suddenly the doorbell rang.
"Oh for Fuck's sake!" he rolled his eyes. "I better go answer this time" he sighed as he put his glass on the counter and walked out of the kitchen. Gabriella stared after him frowning, but she shook it off and went back to eating her Mac n' Cheese.
When Troy opened the door, he mentally groaned.
"Amanda…" he said. "Hi..."
Amanda glared at him "Can you explain to me why you haven't opened the door and why you haven't answered my calls?"
Troy sighed and rubbed his temples. "It's a really long story…"
"You were fucking Gabriella, weren't you?" she yelled on his face and Troy rolled his eyes.
"And again with the same shit!" he complained. "If you want to know the FUCKING reason why I haven't answered the door or answered my phone, go ask your stupid shithead of a roommate in Jail!" he snapped on her face.
Amanda frowned at him "What do you mean?" She asked. Troy felt the rage coming back on him, but he took a deep breath before answering her.
"Shane tried to rape Gabriella…" he growled between his teeth and Amanda looked at him shocked.
"What?" she shook her head "No, that's not possible!"
"Well, it is…" Troy looked at her in the eye. "If I hadn't come back home in time, I don't know what I would've found…" he sighed.
"No! I know Shane more than anyone in the world, he wouldn't do that!" she exclaimed. "Maybe it was the bitch of a roommate you have!" she yelled angrily "She surely made it up!"
"What did you just call her?" Troy asked her angrily.
Amanda rolled her eyes. "Oh come on Troy! You know it as well as I do! She's a bitch!"
He took a deep breath to clear his head before actually thinking of punching her.
"Look, I have to go back… She's very scared and she can't be alone for more than a couple of minutes" he said looking away from her.
"No! Hell no! If you go back in there, you can say goodbye to our relationship, Mr.!" Amanda said putting her hands over her hips.
Troy looked at her unbelieving. "So, you're making me choose between you and Gabriella…"
"Yes!" she raised her eyebrows at him, waiting for his answer "Me or her?"
"Goodbye Amanda…" he rolled his eyes and slammed the door on her face. He sighed relieved. "God, I've never been more grateful to end a relationship before…"
"YOU'RE GOING TO REGRET THIS, BOLTON!" Amanda yelled from outside and Troy rolled his eyes.
"WHATEVER!" he yelled back and then walked back into the kitchen to see that Gabriella was barely eating from her bowl.
"Is it that gross?" Troy asked concerned. "We can order pizza or-"
"No…" Gabriella shook her head. "It's pretty good, actually…" she looked down.
"Then what is it?" Troy asked worried as he sat down in front of her and grabbed her hand across the table.
"You didn't have to chose me over Amanda…" she looked up at him and Troy looked shocked at her.
"Oh…" he said. "You heard…"
"It's kind of hard not to when you two are yelling" she said moving the pasta around.
"Well… I was going to break up with her anyways" he shrugged trying to lighten up the mood. Gabriella looked up at him curiously.
"You were?" she frowned.
"Yeah!" he rolled his eyes. "She's too damn jealous and she annoys the crap out of me!"
Gabby giggled and looked down. She looked back up at him and pulled her hand away from his only to put it on his cheek.
"Thanks Troy… I don't know what the hell I would do without you…" she said and leaned over to kiss his cheek.
"You don't need to thank me, Gabs… I don't know what I would do if anything happened to you…" he looked into her eyes and smiled.
Gabriella stood up and Troy opened his arms for her. She sat down on his lap and she wrapped her arms tightly around his neck while he hugged her tightly against his chest too.
**One week later**
"So you and Troy are finally dating?" Sharpay asked for what would be the 1000th time since she moved in the apartment in front of theirs.
Gabriella sighed. "No…"
"Why not?" she whined "Shane and Amanda are both out of the picture!"
"Sharpay, the fact that we are single doesn't mean that we're going to date!" she sighed. "You know that he doesn't feel the same way!"
Sharpay slapped her hand over her face "I so damn hate you two! You are stupid and blind and mentally sick!" she groaned and laid her head back on the couch.
Gabriella giggled at her friend and shook her head. She knew as much as she did that Troyella would never happen, Troy only saw her as her sister… the fact that they slept together doesn't mean that something had to be going on between them.
"I mean seriously! You fucked each other and you still won't admit your love!" Sharpay complained again.
"There is no love!" Gabriella rolled her eyes and flicked through the channels as soon as their movie was over.
"Oh trust me! There is!" she said and her phone vibrated. She smirked at the message and texted back.
"Who are you texting?" Gabriella asked as she took a bunch of pop corn from the bowl in front of them.
"No one!" she smiled at her and grabbed a bunch of pop corn too.
"Sure!" Gabriella nodded and narrowed her eyes at her. "New boyfriend?" she asked.
"Busted!" Sharpay smiled innocently. "Oh! Leave that Channel! I love Extreme Makeover: the Home Edition!"
"Me too!" Gabriella smiled and shoved more pop corn in her mouth.
Suddenly Sharpay's phone vibrated again and she smirked at the new text message. Oh yeah. If neither Troy nor Gabriella was brave enough to give the first step, then Sharpay would. She simply couldn't sit around and stare how her two best friends suffer for each other. No, she had to act… she hated to get in the middle of relationships, but sometimes it is necessary for the sake of your friends.
They both heard how the door got opened and they turned around to see Troy with a huge bouquet of yellow flowers in his arms. Gabriella's jaw dropped and Sharpay only smirked at Troy.
He rolled his eyes at Sharpay's smirk and walked up to Gabby with a smile.
"For the lady!" he said as he handed the flowers to a shocked Gabriella.
"Oh my God!" she said. "Why?" she looked back up to Troy only to see him shrug.
"You've been down this past week, I wanted to cheer you up a little" he smiled at her and Gabriella left the flowers on the coffee table only so she could stand up on the couch and wrap her arms around his neck.
"Thank you!" she said as Troy hugged her back.
"No problem, Twinkie" he said. "I'm glad to see you smile…"
Gabriella blushed a little as she pulled back and slapped the back of his head lightly.
"Don't make me blush!" she said a little red.
"Sorry…" he smiled.
"Did you bring the milk?" she asked as she kneeled down on the couch and looked up at Troy.
"Shoot" he slapped his forehead. "I knew I was forgetting something" he sighed. "I'll be back in a while…"
"Take the umbrella!" Gabriella said. "It looks like it's about to rain…"
"Okay!" he said as he headed to the door and took the umbrella.
As soon as he left Sharpay wiggled her eyebrows at Gabriella.
"Yellow flowers, huh?" she smirked.
Gabriella rolled her eyes. "Don't start…"
"He knows you love yellow flowers…" Sharpay said with a teasing voice.
"And so do you!" she answered.
"But I don't bring yellow flowers to you when you're down…" she raised her eyebrows at her, still with the same teasing voice.
"But you bring chocolate ice cream!" she said.
"He had never bought you flowers before!" she said with the same tone of voice.
"Sharpay! Stop it" Gabriella whined.
She laughed and sighed. "Sorry… I simply wish that you two would get together already!" she whined a little.
"I know…" Gabriella sighed. "Me too…"
Sharpay sighed again and her cell phone vibrated again, but she ignored it, knowing that it was from Troy. She looked up at the clock on the wall and she stood up quickly.
"Oh Shit! I have to go!" she lied. "I'll talk to you later, alright?"
Gabriella looked up at her confused. "Where are you going?"
"I have a date…" she smiled and grabbed her purse. "I'll tell you everything about it later!"
Gabriella smiled at her. "Okay! Have fun! And don't do good things that seem bad!" she smirked and Sharpay giggled as she ran out of the door.
"Okay! Bye Crabby!" she smiled and left.
"Crabby?" she asked to herself but shook it off.
Gabriella sighed and looked over to her right when a red light blinked a couple of times.
"Oh damn! Sharpay forgot her cell phone!" she said as she picked it up from the floor.
Gabriella saw that she had a new message from Troy and she frowned confused due to the fact that he was there a few minutes ago. Why were they texting each other? Were they making some evil plans for her birthday in 2 weeks? She smirked thinking that their conversation was based on that subject and opened the message. Oh how well Sharpay knew her.
For the last time Evans! I am not telling her the truth!
Gabriella frowned confused at the message. What truth and to who?
She opened the inbox and saw both Sharpay's messages to Troy and Troy's messages to her:
S: Hey 'Smoopsiepoo' how are you?
T: don't call me that, I hate it! And I'm good, I guess. You?
S: I'm fine, though Gabriella doesn't seem the same.
T: Is she okay?
S: Yeah! She's just very serious.
T: Watch a movie with her or something…
S: you know what would cheer her up?
T: Don't start!
S: If you told her you are in love with her!
T: Shar, I'm not going to tell her that!
S: why not?
T: We've been through this conversation like 300 times! I won't tell her that I'm in love with her!
S: tell her the truth!
T: for the last time Evans! I am not telling her the truth!
Gabriella's eyes filled up with tears, she couldn't believe what she was reading. Troy was in love with her too? At least that's what it was understood in the messages.
"Coward, son of a bitch!" She exclaimed and threw the cell phone across the room.
To be continued. Ooh! I so want to see what happens in the next episode! Do you? :D
