-Chapter 9: Four Days Later-
(July 2009.)
(PREVIOUSLY ON HSM4:)
"No, well it's been nice talking to you but I have to go," Reed told them with a smile before he added before he walked away, "Oh and Gabriella. You might want to pry your boyfriend away from that hot blonde he's locking lips and hips with."
Chad watched in fury as he walked away whistling before he turned back and jogged over to Zeke, Sharpay, and Gabriella and took the crying brunette in his arms. Chad made sure that his arms were wrapped tightly and protectively around his little "sister" as he tried to calm her down, "Shh. Gabster, he's not going to hurt you. Shh, I promise he won't. And he's lying about Troy."
"Mmhm," was how Gabriella replied as she tried to get her sobs under control.
"You want Troy?" Chad asked her.
"Mmhm," was how Gabriella replied again.
"Alright. Come on you," Chad told her as he picked her up bridal style and began to carry her back to everyone else while Zeke did the same to Gabriella, all three of them hoping that what Reed was saying was nothing but a lie.
But what they weren't they weren't prepared for was finding out that Reed was right…because they're on top of Troy was a blonde with lips and hips locked with his and nobody else in sight.
"WHAT THE HELL?!" Gabriella, Sharpay, Zeke, and Chad yelled when they saw this as did the rest of their group as they came back.
It had been four days since that fateful day at Busch Gardens and since the fateful day of the Troyella split…
//Flashback//
"TROY?! What the hell is this?!" Gabriella asked in utter shock.
"Brie, I swear to God I don't know her," Troy told her after he pushed the girl to the ground.
"But Troysie, you do. Remember I'm your girlfriend Kiley and why does she care…she's nothing you said so yourself," the girl Kiley, Kiley Cortez, said as she stood up and made sure her skirt, that didn't even cover half her ass, was perfect.
"What?!" Gabriella said in utter shock and disgust.
"Um, hello! I don't even know who you are and how do you know who I am?!" Troy asked as he turned to the girl.
"Because I'm your girlfriend. Remember silly, we got together after that one girl dumped you…what was her name…Gina, Gabriele, no wait, it was Gabriella, yeah that was her name, Gabriella," the raven haired girl told him.
"Um, hello I'm standing right here," Gabriella told the raven haired girl.
"Oh wow! It's like so nice to meet you, I'm Kiley so you met the ex," Kiley said with a flip of her hair before she squealed as she spotted the Tiffany engagement ring and asked Gabriella as she took her hand to examine the ring, "Oh! You're engaged how cute! Which one of these guys should I say congrats too. Is it you?"
Gabriella just gave her a mean hard glare and snapped her hand back with a force that nobody she had.
"Ew, no! Gabster's like my little sister," Chad told the girl when she asked him.
"So then who should I say congrats too?" Kiley pouted.
"Me," Troy spoke up as he started to walk towards Gabriella.
"Not anymore," Gabriella stated.
"WHAT?!" Was chorused throughout the whole group that stood around them in utter shock that she would say something like that.
"Brie, come on you can't be serious," Troy told her.
"I am, Bolton," Gabriella told him.
"But, Brie! Can you seriously no see what she's trying to do?!" Troy asked her.
"No, I really can't because…" Gabriella stated and knowing deep down inside she would regret the next utter words that she knew someone on the rational side of her were not true, "because it seems like you wanted it."
"WHAT?! No, don't even go there. You know I love you," Troy told her with honest truth laced in his voice, body language, and eyes.
"You know what. Whatever, I'm done," Gabriella told him before she turned on her flip flop and walked away ignoring his calls of her name.
Troy after telling Kiley off, started to go after Gabriella only to have Brett pull him back as Sharpay spoke to the guys and the parents, "I'll take her. You guys take him."
"Why?" Troy asked before adding, "Why can't I go?"
"Because she doesn't want to be near you right now Troy," Sharpay told him before she turned on her flip flop heel and jogged after Gabriella.
(End of flashback)
And that was the last day that Gabriella ever saw or talked or thought about Troy again and the only one she talked to was Sharpay who was sharing a suite on the next floor up with her until everything was sorted out…if it would ever be sorted out that is.
And since that day, Sharpay was always found at the same place at the same time on her cellphone talking to the same person, Troy.
"I know, Troy believe me I trust you as does everyone else….She will, just give her time…I know it's been four days!…Don't raise your voice at me mister!…Thank you…No, she's at the same spot she is all day every day…Yep, down at the beach…No, Troy please don't try….Because I really don't want to deal with another crying Gabriella tonight…Yeah, she cries every night…Because she doesn't know what to believe…You mean Brett or her mom or her dad haven't told you yet?! Wow, I'm surprised!…It's not my job to tell you…Just ask them Troy that's all I'm saying…Well, I'm going to go do what I always do…Yeah, hopefully I will make some progress…Don't worry Troy, by the end of today, Brie-Ella will be back in your arms as your fiancée and back into your guys suite….Your welcome….Yeah, I'll talk to you soon too….Yeah, I love you to little brother….Toodles."
Sharpay sighed and hung up the phone with Troy before she dialed another number while she slipped on a pair of white flip flops to complete her bummed looked.
"Hello?" Sharpay heard the male's voice come through her speaker on the phone.
"Hey B! It's Shar."
"Hey Shar, what's up?"
"Well, I want to know why you or your parents haven't told Troy why Gabriella won't believe him so easily?" Sharpay said as she put her gold hoop earrings from Tiffany & Co in her ears.
"We're going to talk to him and his parents about it today…um, we wanted to know do you think everyone else should know too?" Brett's voice asked his little sister's bestie.
"Um, you should just tell the Boltons and then tell everyone else while we get Gabriella and Troy to talk we'll tell everyone else, okay?"
"Alright," She heard Brett's reply before she heard Cristy say something to him causing him to reply with a laugh and something else.
"What's up?" Sharpay asked him as she spoke into the speaker of the phone as she walked out of the suite, card key and phone in hand.
"Cristy was asking us if we always do this and if Gabriella and Troy will appreciate us monk-eying in their affairs," Came Brett's reply.
Sharpay's hand flew to her mouth as she gasped before she replied as she moved her black framed Chanel sunglasses to her eyes as she stepped outside of the hotel and headed towards the beach, "Does she know that monk-eying in others' affairs is like my hobby, my passion, and that we always do this, and hey Troy's in on it too."
"Yeah, I told her and she thinks we're all wacko," Came Brett's reply.
"Well, she's the wacko one for being your girlfriend," Was Sharpay's reply with a smirk.
"Hey!" Came Brett's reply causing Sharpay to giggled and then laugh harder as she heard Cristy's reply to Brett, "She speaks the truth!"
"Well, I'm going to go. I'll talk to you both later, and remember tell Troy as soon as possible," Sharpay told him.
"I will and we will. Talk to you later, Shar. Love ya."
"Love ya too, B," Sharpay replied before she smirked as a though crossed her mind and she yelled into the phone, "AND I LOVE YOU TOO C!"
"OW! That's my ear," Brett whined and as Sharpay heard Cristy's rebuttal to that, "Would you like a little cheese with your whine sweetheart?"
Sharpay laughed as she heard Brett say back to her, "Yes, I would."
And she laughed harder as she heard Cristy reply with too bad before she said yelled to Cristy again, "GOOD JOB C! BYE!"
"Ow," was the last thing Sharpay heard from Brett and a 'good' from Cristy as she hung up giggling like a mad woman.
(With Troy)
"Alright, so why we asked you and your parents to come Troy is to ask you something," Inez told Troy, Lucille and Jack as they all sat in Greg and Inez's suite.
"What?" Troy asked Lucille.
"Has Gabriella ever told you about her past?" Brett asked him.
"Um, just that she was bullied a lot for being so smart and that she didn't date jocks before me," Troy replied.
"Well, then I guess you don't know," Inez said sadly.
"Know what?" Troy asked as Inez grabbed Jack's, Lucille's, and Troy's attention even more as Cristy sat by Brett in silence already knowing the whole story because Gabriella and her past was his main concern and his main priority in his life because she was the person he loved the most and she happily excepted that and looked out for Gabriella as much as Brett did or as much as she could.
"That Gabriella had her heart stomped on before and that she was…" Inez said before she cut off her sentence.
"That she was, what?" Lucille asked.
"Gabriella when we lived in L.A. she did date a jock for two years," Greg added with a bitterness in his voice.
"Wow, she didn't tell me that. What happened?" Troy asked him.
Greg and Inez averted their eyes and got up and walked out onto the balcony, not really wanting to relive the moment. Brett sighed and started to tell the Boltons what they wanted, no needed to know to understand why it's so hard for Gabriella to trust especially when it came to Troy and finding him in not very promising positions.
"You want me to do it baby?" Cristy softly asked Brett who was fidgeting with his hands.
TBC….
Well, here's this one and I'm off to write the next one, don't worry our beloved Troyella will be fixed in the next one…or will it? Hm… Toodles.
Trivia: (It's an too see what you guys think) What do you think Brett or Cristy or whoever has to tell the Boltons about Gabriella's past? (I don't need an answer in your review, but if you would like to add one then feel free to please, I'm interested to think what you guys think)
