"Morning Sunshine" I giggled at an awakening Taylor who was still laying, half asleep on Troys and Chads sofa. She was just figuring out her surroundings and opening her eyes. I watched as she tried to move her head to sit up but quickly change her mind, deciding that laying down was the best option.
"Heres some coffee" I said, placing the cup on the table infront of her while she spoke.
"Asprin" She moaned
"I'll go get you some" I said walking away from her and to the bathroom where i guessed, they would be. Sure enough, i found 3 packets of them in the bathroom cabinet - Obviously between 3 people they needed alot of them. I took 2 out of one packet and took them back into the living room to where Taylor was. Handing them over i said "What got into you last night?"
"Carried away" Taylor winced as she slowly but surely sat up to have a drink and take her tablets.
I sighed at my bestfriend who looked like hell - It was just me and her awake and it was 10 in the morning. I had left Troy in bed to sleep and Chad hadn't crawled out of his room yet so i gathered he was too, asleep.
"Fucking hell, Gabriella, tell me the truth, is there a elephant sitting on my head that i don't know about?" Taylor asked wearily.
I giggled "No there is not a elephant on your head, its just a hangover Tay. You were pretty smashed last night."
"Sorry. I just got carried away"
"Yeah well your lucky Chad and Troy are so fucking nice." I pointed out. "Otherwise we would have both of been on the streets"
"Im sorry Gabi" Taylor said again, groaning in pain. "My head is throbbing"
"Serves you right" I said simply "Im going to make some toast to try and get you back to normal"
"Thankyou" Taylor mumbled, before laying back down on the sofa. I went to the kitchen, finding some bread slices and putting them into the toaster and sliding the button down so they began to toast.
I jumped up onto the counter, looking over at Taylor while running my hand through my toosled hair. I was wearing one of Troys shirts and a pair of his shorts that were feeling incredibly comfortable.
Once the toast was done, i handed it over to Taylor, she took it greedily and began to eat. I rolled my eyes before taking a ready made cup of coffee into Troy. I sat on his bed next to the naked, still sleeping him, watching his features - He was smiling in his sleep so was obviously dreaming about something good. I reached forward, gently beginning to play with his messy hair, brushing it from his closed eyes. I leant forward, planting a soft, gentle kiss to his lips before removing them. "Troy, babe wake up" I whispered into his ear before planting a harder, lustful kiss on his lips again. This time, Troy seemed to begin to wake up. His eyes opening slowly, smiling when he saw me. I ran my hand through his hair again. "Wake up"
Troy nodded before replying "How long have you been up?"
"About 20 minutes. I was sorting Taylor out" I told him as he sat up, sorting the bed sheet so it covered his modesty but left his chest bare. I couldn't help but stare at it. His muscles were just so defined and amazing looking - I had to resist the temptation to run my hands over them.
"How is she?" Troy asked as he took the coffee i was offering off of me and taking a sip.
"Hungover" I told him.
"To be expected" He said "Is Chad up?"
"I haven't heard from him. So i don't think so" I shrugged.
"Did i mention how incredibly sexy you look in my clothes. Seriously, you look amazing"
"And i don't look good in my clothes?" I asked, jokingly offended.
"Thats not what im saying, its just...You look so innocent and mine when you wear them"
"Troy, i think we are clear im yours don't you?" I said, pulling the shirt i was wearing aside to show him, his mark on my neck. He smiled proudly before reaching forward and running his fingertips over it.
"Sorry. I was caught up in the moment"
"I don't mind now, i can do wonders with makeup"
"Why do you wear makeup? Like on your face?" Troy asked
"Thats random. Why did you ask that?"
"I have always just wondered why girls wear it. So why do you?"
"I wear it because it makes me look beautiful" i told him
"Thats complete rubbish Brie, you don't need makeup if thats the case. Your hardly wearing any right now and you look stunning"
"You have to say that. But in real life, I look horrible"
"Trust me Brie" Troy said "You look amazing" And i could tell, just for a second he was telling the truth. He looked deadly serious and sincere causing a warm glow to form inside of me.
"Thankyou" I said timidly.
"No problem." Troy smiled at me before placing his half drunken coffee down. He reached forward, gently pulling me further onto the bed so i was straddling his semi naked waist. I looked down at him as he looked up at me, my brown eyes meeting his blue. Troys hand slipping up the top i was wearing, gently gripping my sides to hold in me in position. No words were spoken, we just stayed there, staring longingly at each other - Our eyes full of passion.
"I love you" Troy suddenly said a few minutes later.
Did he just say what i thought he said? He loved me? What?
My first reaction was one of glee, intense happiness and excitement but that quickly faded as the thoughts from the previous night rose in my head.
He wasn't in love with me. He was in love with my lie.
I didn't deserved to be loved and Troy didn't deserve how unfair i was being to him - Even if he didnt know it.
Quickly, as if my body was acting on its own - It tensed up before climbing silently off Troys body and searching for my clothes.
"Brie? What are you doing?" Troy asked, sitting up even more in confusement.
Swiftly without word or second thought i pulled off his clothes and pulled on my own. I glanced at him once last time, his eyes full of hurt and confusement.
"Where are you going?" He asked, standing up and pulling on his boxers.
I said nothing. Instead, i made myself hold back my tears and turn away from Troy, walking out fo the room with him soon following. I reached Taylor quickly "I have to go. I'll explain later. Sorry" I said in a rush as Troy caught up with me.
"Brie? Whats going on?" He asked as i walked to his door, opening it and leaving the apartement, my walk turning into a run as i reached the road. Faintly, through my tears, in the distance i heard a faint, repetitive yell of "Gabriella!!" I ignored it though, just aiming to get home - Longing to be able to crawl into my bed and cry.
I didn't deserve Troys love.
My dad wanted to know what was wrong later that night when i sat huddled up on the sofa in my baggy, blue cookie monster top and white shorts, not speaking to anyone but instead just watching the television, my cell phone sitting beside me, constantly ringing and vibrating - Longing for the attention i refused to give it. My dad wondered why i didn't answer. I just replied with a stonily "Can't be bothered"
I knew who it was. Troy.
For a moment i thought it could have been Taylor but remembered the phone call from earlier when she had given up calling my cell and had decided ringing the house phone was her best bet. I had answered and had spoken to her. Just saying that i was ok, I couldn't explain what was going on right now and that i was sorry. While she informed me that Troy was really upset about whatever had happened between us and had locked himself in his bedroom.
I could tell my dad was getting annoyed with the constant ringing and vibrating of my cell because he snapped "Bloody hell Gabriella, i know your upset or something, but answer that phone or turn the stupid thing off"
I didn't move though, instead i just lay there letting the phone continue to ring.
"Gabriella, don't make me tell you again. Just because your upset about something doesn't mean I have to suffer"
I stood up at that, grabbing my cell and walking to the living room door. "Yeah, god forbid you suffer. As long as your ok, the whole world is just fucking peachy" I sniped, walking out of the door, slamming it behind me.
I reached my bedroom and landed with a thud on my bed, flinging my cell beside me. I lay like that for quite awhile before i heard the faintest knock on my bedroom door. "Come in" I called out, huffily. I heard the door open and saw my little sister walk in.
"Gabi, are you ok?" She asked sweetly.
"Yeah I'm fine" I replied, sitting up on my bed and patting the space beside me for Elisa to join me. She ran over and sat on the spot i had indicated to.
"Why do you and dad always fight?"
"Fight? We don't fight. We just don't agree most of the time" I replied.
"I think he misses mom like i miss mom. Do you miss her?"
"Everyday" I told her truthfully.
"I wish i could remember her a bit more" Elisa admitted.
"You don't remember her? You were 7, surely you remember?"
Elisa shook her head "We don't have any pictures of her do we... I can't remember what she looks like to well"
"Yeah, dad saw to that. He said it was soo painful to see her picture around the house." I felt sad for a moment. My dad could really be selfish. "I still have a picture of her"
"You do? You never told me that"
"Well actually i have two. One here" I said pointing to the silver, heart locket i always wore around my neck. I opened it to reveal a picture of my mom and me when i was around 4.
"Wow, i didn't know you had that"
"Noone does. Not even dad - So don't tell him" I said, closing the locket "Now for the second one" I carried on, reaching over to my side dresser and pulling open the drawer, taking out a picture of my mom, me and Elisa when I was 6 and she was a baby - A new born. I handed it over to my sister who smiled instantly. "Our mom was so pretty"
"She sure was" I agreed. "No you keep it" I said as i noticed Elisa trying to pass it back to me. "I have a picture, but you need one. One to remember her. Never forget her Elisa; Never"
"I won't" Elisa told me as my cell began to ring again. I groaned. "Can i get it?"
I smiled at her, for some reason finding myself nodding in agreement. I have no idea why, i just wanted to see what would happen - I guess part of me hoped that Troy would get the message i didn't want to speak to him right now.
"Hello" She spoke through the cell. "No this is her sister. You want to talk to her?" Elisa said looking at me. I shook my head signalling i didn't want to. "Shes busy right now. Can you stop calling, my dads getting annoyed. Bye!" Elisa hung up and i couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Thankyou" I said
"Its ok. Should you be talking to boys though?"
"No. But lets not tell dad that i do ok?" I said. Elisa nodded.
"I talk to you boys all the time." Elisa giggled "You won't tell dad will you?"
"No of course not. Now, its getting late. You need to be in bed" I said.
"Ok, piggyback me there?"
"Its only next door" I pointed out.
"So?" Elisa smiled. I hadn't the heart to say no. This was the closest Elisa and I had been in ages and i didn't want to wreck that.
"Come on then" I sighed, standing up and bending slightly so she could jump on my back.
I could deal with Troy later but right now - I had a sister that needed my attention.
I sat in homeroom on monday, wearing some cropped jeans and 'Love the 80s' tee with some MALTESE lace up pumps and usual white chain bag. I was too busy ingoring Taylors vigorous attempts to catch my attention to even pay any care to what Ms Darbus was saying the front - Which wasn't to bad because she always talked a load of rubbish. Since i had set foot in East High that morning, Taylor had been trying to find out why i had run out of Troys on saturday and not answered his calls. I knew i kind of had to repay her with telling her so i found myself writing a note on a piece of paper ( Talk lunch) and passing it to her. Ignoring the normal snide glare from Riley.
Taylor nodded in response before shredding the paper into little pieces with her hands.
"So wait, he told you he loved you and you ran out?" Taylor asked in dis-belief after i had re-counted the whole story of what had happened Saturday morning.
I nodded "Yeah"
"Why?"
"Because i don't deserve his love. Taylor he isn't in love with me. He is in love with my lie." I admitted figeting in my seat at Taylors and Mine usual table in the cafeteria at lunch time.
"Gabriella, don't you see. Your lie is just your age. Ok, well maybe you have had to bend the truth in some other parts but its your personality he is falling in love with. You havent lied about everything Gabriella and there is a small amount of truth behind your lies." Taylor said
"I guess but.." I sighed "am i meant to say it back?"
"That you love him? That depends on wether you do or not"
"I think i do. I miss him all the time. And feel completely different around him...I long to be with him all the time"
"I have never been in love but, what you said sounds like love. Look, wether you tell him you love him or not, you still need to talk to him and apologize"
"I guess..." I sighed "Thats if he will ever talk to me again. He hasn't called me since saturday night"
"Ring him" Taylor said. "Or go to see him after school"
"I guess going to see him would probably be better"
"There you go then." Taylor said, a smug look on her face knowing she had been right all along.
I rolled my eyes before glancing around the cafeteria, my eyes falling on a pair of green ones. - Rileys. "He is never going to forgive me"
Taylor knew instantly who i was talking about. "Just give him.."
"...Time. I know Tay, you keep saying that but seriously, its been nearly over 2 weeks or something right? I just want to know if we will ever be friends again"
"Theres only one way to find out" Taylor told me. "Maybe Riley doesn't want to let his pride get in the way - He wants you to go to him"
"Did he tell you that?"
Taylor looked shifty "No"
"Liar, when did he tell you that?"
"This morning, in between 2nd and 3rd period while you were busy in the ladies room" Taylor said.
I stood up "Im going to speak to him"
"Good luck, i'm going to go see if i can find David and give him a piece of my mind." Taylor said angrily, standing up also. - Turns out David bailed on their date on Saturday.
I walked away from Taylor and slowly over to Riley, trying not to make it completely obvious that i was heading towards him in case he decided to get up and walk away from me. When i reached his table, i noticed him look up at me. He didn't seem angry up close, more hurt and upset.
"Hi" I said timidly "Can we talk?"
He nodded slowly, allowing me to take a seat next to him. "Im sorry Riles. Can you forgive me?"
"Are you still with Troy?"
Was i? Right now i wasn't so sure. To be on the safe side though i nodded "I am"
"Then im not interested" Riley said being completely stubborn.
"Whats your problem with him?" I hissed.
"He has changed you"
"How?"
"He has made you bad, he has changed you so you lie all the time. Give up your virginity, and not be the girl i thought i knew my whole life"
"Thats rubbish Riley. If anything Troy has helped me. I know, i shouldn't of lied to get him, i know ok? But he makes me happy Riles, the happiest i have felt recently."
"Why did you lie? If this Troy is as great as your say he is - Shouldn't he have accepted you for who you are?"
"Like i told Taylor, for 2 reasons. I thought after the party i would never see him again and because i knew he would never take a second look at me if he knew my real age. I haven't given him the chance to accept me for who i am riley because i lied to him"
"You make no sense Gabriella" Riley snapped
"Why are you so annoyed about this? I never asked you to be a part of it. I just came to you - My supposed bestfriend and i told you everything because i thought you would be there to support me."
Riley scoffed "Yeah, like i'd support a 21 year old horny guy taking away my 16 year old bestfriends virginity"
"He didn't take it Riley." I said through gritted teeth. "I gave it to him - Willingly."
"I don't give a damn, it still shouldn't have happened"
"Riley what the fuck has gotten into you?! If anyone has changed its you. You used to be there to support me but now you just judge. I would bet anything that if a 21 year old girl wanted to sleep with you, you would do it. Why is that different for me? except, Troy or I didn't want just a quick fuck."
"I wouldn't just sleep with a girl if they threw themselves out me, because i was saving myself for someone" Riley admitted
"Was? Who?" I asked confused.
Riley sighed "Your clueless Gabriella."
"What?"
"Your clueless and blind to whats in front of you. I like you Gabriella and i don't mean as just friends. I mean, really, really, really like you."
Did he just say that? Riley - My bestfriend likes me as more then a friend? Oh my god!
"W-w-what?" I stuttered as Riley stood up.
"I have been your bestfriend since forever and have been in love with you for 4 years. You didn't see it though, you were clueless. I just wish i would have told you sooner and maybe there would have been a chance. But now your with Troy"
"Riley..." I began, softening to the teary eyed expression on his face "Your my bestfriend.."
"Yeah and I get it. Thats all i'll ever be. Your bestfriend. Look, i forgive you for lying about your age and stuff. I care for you so much Gabriella - If Troy makes you happy then fine, at least you know now. I can put up with these feelings i have for you, Im used to it by now." and with that Riley walked away from me.
It was all too crazy. Was i in a parallel universe? Did he really just admit his love for me? 2 guys in three days?
This is all just too screwed up.
I swear at that moment i pinched myself, in the hope i could wake up from the dream that was borderlining becoming a nightmare.
Everything was getting so complicated.
