Love's spelled D.I.S.A.S.T.E.R 1x24
After a while, Troy and Gabriella's eyes went wide when they turned their heads to the door, feeling observed, to find Sharpay and Tom. They pulled away but complained when the earphones got pulled from inside their ears.
"So, are you going to tell me that this is also part of getting Amanda away from Troy?" Tom raised his eyebrows at them and Sharpay just stood there waiting to see what Gabriella or Troy responded.
Gabriella went red as a tomato and looked over at Troy, who seemed to be in the same situation as her.
"Uhmm… you see… uh..." Gabriella squeezed her brain trying to find a good excuse.
"I was just… charging for the dance she owed me since prom" Troy responded with the truth, well… half the truth.
"Yeah!" Gabriella exclaimed "The power went off and we didn't know what to do" she nodded her head and Sharpay rolled her eyes.
"So you tell me that you decided to dance romantically at the light of candles because you didn't have anything else better to do?" Tom raised an eyebrow at them and crossed his arms, leaning against the doorway.
"Yeah, basically it" Troyella nodded at the same time after looking at each other.
"Okay enough you two! I want the truth right now!" Tom demanded as he walked up to them.
"I'm gonna go to bed!" Gabriella exclaimed nervously and ran to Troy's room.
"Right behind you!" Troy exclaimed also and ran after Gabriella.
"Cowards…" Sharpay mumbled.
"Oh! So now you're telling me that you two share the same room?" Tom asked as he followed them.
"Just for this week!" Gabriella yelled before Troy closed the door and locked the door.
"OPEN UP, RIGHT NOW!" Tom demanded as he banged on their door.
Sharpay couldn't help but giggle and shake her head in disbelief. She walked over to Tom and took him by the arm.
"C'mon babe, they'll tell you when they're ready…" Sharpay tried to calm him down by rubbing his back.
"Yeah, I guess you're right" he sighed and they walked up to the guest room.
"WAIT!" he exclaimed "WAS SHE WEARING TROY'S SHIRT AND UNDERWEAR?" he yelled and went back on banging on Troy's door.
**The next morning**
Troy woke up first the next morning. He fluttered his eyes open and turned over only so he could snuggle against Gabriella's back and kiss her shoulder. She stirred a little but kept her eyes closed and hugged her stuffed wolf tightly. Troy smiled down at her and caressed her cheek with his thumb before getting up from his bed and stretch a little. He rubbed his eyes and unlocked his door, sticking his head out and turning it from one side to another, checking that Tom wasn't anywhere near. He sighed relieved and walked into the living room, then into the kitchen. He put some water in a pot and turned on the stove. He yawned again.
"Good morning" Tom said behind him and Troy turned around quickly.
"Good morning" he responded with a nervous smile.
"So… what are you doing?" Tom raised an eyebrow at him.
"Boiling some water… you know, for coffee" Troy shrugged at him, still nervous.
"Okay…" he nodded. "What are your intentions with my sister?" he asked seriously and Troy gulped.
"Nothing, nothing…" he shook his head anxiously "Why would I have any intentions with Gabriella?" he smiled nervously and let out a chuckle.
Tom raised an eyebrow at him and then walked closer to him.
"Is that so? Because last night you two seemed pretty nervous to me" he looked at him up and down "And you still are…" he smirked.
"Pff! No…" Troy shook his head "I'm not nervous. Yesterday was just a really awkward situation…"
"Right!" he laughed and shook his head in disbelief "Troy, I know you and my sister are dating. What I don't know is why you wanted to hide it from me, I don't mind" he shrugged.
"You don't?"
"No!" he shook his head "I'm actually really glad! Because I made a bet with your sister and now I've got 100 bucks waiting for me back in Albuquerque…" he smirked and Troy rolled his eyes.
"You made a bet with Jane?" he asked and shook his head "You'll always win by betting with her"
"I know" Tom smirked.
Troy sighed "Well, now your sister's gonna kill me…"
"Why's that?"
"She didn't want you to know about us…" he shrugged and turned off the stove as soon as he saw that the water was boiling.
"Really?" Tom frowned.
"Don't ask me why, she didn't tell me…" Troy poured the water in a cup with coffee in it.
"And haven't you read it in her diary? She writes everything in there! Maybe we can find out…"
"Nah. She hasn't written in it like in a week, not since…" he trailed off and tensed up.
"Since what?"
"No, never mind." Troy shook his head "I don't want Gabriella to kill me for telling something that she should tell you herself"
Tom sighed "Okay! Then let's see what's the last thing she wrote!" he smirked and walked off.
"Wonder what the last thing she wrote was" Troy mumbled to himself and then his eyes went wide "No... she. No that happened the same day and she writes at nights…" he shook his head "No, impossible…"
Troy was putting some butter on his toasts when…
"BOLTON!" Tom yelled.
Gabriella was woken up by the sound of plates breaking and maybe some furniture being turned over. She rubbed her eyes and stood up. What the fuck did Troy break now? She walked up to the door and opened it.
"Troooy!" she groaned and then stepped on something. She looked down to find out her opened up diary in the last entry she wrote; she gasped "Oh… crap…"
"You know? Gabriella's going to kill you for staining the couch with hot burning coffee!" Troy said and then dodged a lamp "And for breaking that lamp"
"Don't feel so lucky Bolton, I'll kill you before she kills me!" Tom threatened him.
"What the hell is going on?" Gabriella demanded as she looked from her brother and then to Troy.
"He fucked you! That's what's going on!" Tom responded and glared at Troy "I told you, you could date my sister! NOT FUCK HER!" he pushed him.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey…" she said and got between them, putting her hands over Tom's chest. "Stop it! It was a drunken night and we didn't know what we were doing!"
"I already told him that…" Troy mumbled and Tom glared at him.
"Gabriella doesn't drink!" Tom demanded.
"I told you she was the one who took the tequila out! Not me!" Troy said.
"Why don't I believe that shit?" Tom yelled.
"It's true!" Gabriella yelled "I had a horrible day and all I wanted was to forget about it and get drunk with my best friend!"
"What could've been so bad that you had to get inside his fucking pants?" Tom demanded.
She looked down blushing "I said Troy's name when I was making out with Shane…"
Troy's eyes went wide "How come this is the first time that I find out?"
"You never asked!" she exclaimed.
"Last time I recall I did ask but you were all 'are you going to drink with me or not?'!"
"I don't fucking care!" Tom said. "All I care about is that you could've stopped her from drinking! But no, you had to take advantage of the situation didn't you?"
"DON'T YOU EVEN FUCKING DARE TO GO THERE!" Troy spit on his face. Of all the things he could've said, he had to choose those words; the ones that made Troy's skin crawl in disgust just by the thought of hurting Gabriella in any way.
"Hey, hey!" Gabriella said and tried opening the gap between them, since Troy took a step forward, squishing Gabby in the middle.
"Really? Well I don't see it other way!" Tom responded and glared at him.
"Yes, maybe I did a mistake by letting her drink. Yes, I should've taken the fucking bottle away. I did a mistake, but don't you even think that I would take advantage of her!"
"Tell me one good reason why shouldn't I?" Tom asked furiously. Is he overreacting? Maybe. But wouldn't you be too if you were a guy and find out that your little sister had sexual intercourse with some guy? Even if it's a guy you trust with your life? Tom vowed to protect her, to leave her intact in her future husband's hands the day of her wedding… and he just felt like he failed the little baby that he once carried in his arms when she was a new born.
"I'll give you I good reason why shouldn't you!" Gabriella yelled on his face, now annoyed. No one yelled at her Troy like that, no one else but her. "He saved me!"
"Really? From what? From getting pregnant?" Tom rolled his eyes.
"No" she said and looked down "From getting raped…" she looked up at her big brother in time to see how his world fell apart in his eyes. His… little girl… his baby sister…
He shook his head in denial "N...No…"
"Yes…" she nodded "That's the reason why I broke up with that asshole… and you should be thankful with Troy! If it wasn't for him getting home in time, then I don't know what would've happened!"
She looked deeply into her brother's eyes, tears falling down her cheeks. She felt how Troy took one of her hands and rubbed the back of it with his thumb.
Troy felt sick, like if it were happening all over again. The scene in front of him was the worst he could ever see; seeing that asshole trying to hurt the woman he loves, was like… having someone stab you in the stomach with thousands of knives… or even worse. He felt the rage coming over him all over again, and he just wished that he could've killed him right there in that moment; he's alive thanks to Gabriella.
Tom looked at the pain in his little sister's eyes and he felt like crying too, he wanted nothing but to kill that fucker Shane just as much as Troy wanted to. Gabriella was in danger and he wasn't able to be there to protect her. He looked up at Troy, who was staring down at Gabriella with rage and hurt painted all over his face, and all the anger he felt for him a few seconds ago became into gratitude.
"That's one good hell of a reason…" Tom put a hand over Troy's shoulder and he looked up from Gabriella's face to him "Thank you…"
Troy nodded unable to speak.
