Its been a while... sorry.... and its short,.... sorry.....
I've had SOOO much homework lately but Im sure that once summer hits, this story will be over too soon.
I was in shock. The news was terrifying.
I had go to the coffee shop like Taylor had asked, and what she had to say was not good news for Gabriella and my relationship.
I walked into the small café and peaked around. Eventually I spotted Taylor in the far back corner. Her face was solemn and I wondered what she was thinking, what would make such a worried face appear on her pretty brown face.
"Hey Taylor," the small talk made her lift her head and smile lightly, motioning me to take a seat across from her.
"Troy, I have some bad news for you," she reached into her pink and purple striped bag and pulled out a large orange envelope, "I don't have anyway of telling you, so, I need you to read this."
Reaching out for the envelope, I noted the name printed on the front and spoke it out loud, "Jenna Montez?"
"Open it," she ordered gently, "please."
My nerves were on end as I tried to figure out what she was telling me. I softly tugged at the pin and set it on the table as I pulled out a stack of white legal paper, "a death report?"
"Damn it Troy," she whispered in a hushed voice, "read the thing."
To myself I read the first sheet under my breath, "Cause of Death: Car accident." And from there, I caught only important parts such as, "drunk driver", "died on impact", and "Troy Alexander Bolton."
"You needed to know," Taylor watched carefully and wiped away a small tear, "and she does too."
"Oh God," I muttered regrettably, "how could I have? I didn't… I did."
"If you don't tell her, I have to," Taylor warned me sternly, "next week is the five year anniversary."
"I will," I snapped, jumping up from my spot and storming out, "I need to think."
I parked in the driveway and made my way inside, thinking about what could possibly be coming my way. I guess I didn't hear my cell phone on my way home because when I got there, Gabriella was waiting, worried, "Troy where have you been?"
"I just had to meet an old friend and talk about something," sighing, I caressed her soft face and kissed her lightly.
"Is everything ok?" she asked with concern, "you look a little out of it."
"I'm fine baby," I rubbed my head and set my forehead against hers, "I just need to take a nap."
"Am I invited?" Gabriella wrapped her hand behind my neck and massaged base of it.
"Yeah," I smiled lightly and kissed her again, "of course." We walked up to my room together and lay on the bed. After holding her for over twenty minutes, I felt her head go limp as she fell asleep.
And I watched her. I watched her beautiful olive face and red lips curve into a smile as I drew my fingers across her smooth face. And I wondered if she could ever forgive me after she knows what I did, after she finds out that I was the one that caused her so much pain.
OOOO whats gonna happen?!
