Sorry for the late update! I know it was a bad ending, but the next few chapter Troy's gonna be completely retarded and stupid. So forgive me!

Chapter 25

I looked at Troy who looked shattered. So what? Did he care about me? Nah. No way. Especially if he were to go and kiss our waitress.

"Gabriella! Wait!" Troy got out quickly and I walked into the house as I went into our room and slammed the door shut.

"Gabi...can at least explain I-"

"Troy. I told you....we're through. Now....excuse me." I said as I walked back out of our room and went into the kitchen and grabbed my cell phone.

"Dad?" I said trying not to cry. Not in front of Troy. Usually...I'm crying because I'm physically hurt. But now...

"Hey sweetie. How's the Davis'?" my dad said happily. They must be having a good anniversary.

"Uhm. Dad...I was wondering if I could just stay at our house for the rest of the summer." I said slowly and softly.

"I'll take it, that it didn't go well." my dad responded.

"Yeah...so can I?" I asked, so glad that he didn't ask why I wanted to go home so badly. Troy was a jerk. But however I was an idiot for falling for Troy. The boy who made my life a living hell.

"Sure hun. I'll tell mom." my dad sound pretty worried, but I didn't want to spend my summer here anymore.

"Thanks dad...I'll see you when you get back from Hawaii." I said as I hung up.
"Gabi...please, can I talk to you." Troy whispered through the door.

I stared at the door. "Troy, go away." I said in a stern voice as I grabbed my suitcase and started packing quickly. I didn't want to fold them, I just stuffed them in my bag and unlocked the door, and tried, but didn't succeed to walk out the door quickly. Troy grabbed my wrist quickly. I snapped my head towards him.

"WHAT?!" I yelled furiously in his face, as I felt hot tears run down my cheek.

Troy looked at me, with soft eyes, as he pulled me in closer, and took his thumb and wiped my tears away. "Gabi..." he whispered, so softly that I could barely hear. "I was an idiot...and I'm supposed to change for you. Your the one who wants me to be a better person...I want to change. For you. I was an idiot for letting a slut like that to kiss me, and I can't explain how sorry I am in words..." Troy whispered softly as he stared into my eyes. Did he really mean it?

"Please....for-" he paused, and I looked at him, wanting to hear what he had to say. Troy was being heartfelt and meaningful and that's why I fell for him in the first place

"Yes Troy?" I whispered back as I smiled.

"I'm sorry...please..." he began to beg, as I saw his blue eyes water. I never had seen Troy cry. He was the guy who wanted to keep strong. "Forgive me...without you, I'm...dead." Troy whined as he leaned against my forhead.

"Troy..." I gave him a small smile.

"Yes...?" he said as he began to give a small smile.

"I forgive you..." I smiled as I kissed him softly on the lips and then looked at him.

Troy kept smiling and smiling. "Hold on." I said as I picked up the suitcase that fell to the ground.

"What? Your leaving still?" Troy asked as his eyes started to look worried and hurt again.

"No silly, I'm unpacking." I laughed as I brought my suitcase back in and I started to unpack.
"Gabi, no. Let me unpack your stuff. It's the least I could do." he whined as he put my suitcase on the bed.

"No Troy...it's fine. I got it." I laughed softly as I unzipped it.

"No...Jen's waiting outside in the pool for you any way." Troy gave me a crooked smile.

"Fine..." I laughed as I was still in my bathing suit from the hot tub. I didn't change before because I wanted to get out. Get away from the pain.

"Okay..." he laughed as he pulled out a few of my cloths, "Bells?" he said as I was about to walk out.

I turned around to see him holding in a chuckle. "Have you ever heard of folding your clothes?" he said as he held up a wrinkled pair of jeans. He was right, I was in a rush...so what.

"I was in a rush..." I laughed softly as I walked out and grabbed a towel and met Jen out in the pool.

"Hey girly!" Jen laughed as she did a canon ball into the pool. I laughed as I plugged my mouth and I followed, doing the same.

"Ready for a birthday bash?" I laughed as I went under water and came back up, getting my hair out of my face.

"Yeah...of course Alison and Andrew are planning a few things for my birthday..." Jen laughed.

"What?" I said narrowing my eyes.

"Club. Alison wants me to go to a club. And surprisingly, my brother Andrew, who is supposed to be looking out for me, wants me to as well." Jen said still confused.

Though, I couldn't blame her. It is odd that Andrew wanted her to go clubbing. There are nasty guys there, and...things can go very very wrong. Alison especially would hate to see Jen drunk as well, but they do both now that me and Jen only drink one beer, and that's it. "I know Gabi...I'm confused too, but they also are getting me a car..." Jen paused and I heard her mumble, "Psh...they spoil everyone..." then she laughed and continued, "But yeah...I think you get my point."

"But, I however get to plan the real party that's at Tay's again, but I don't get why Tay always wants us to use her house. I mean....we trash it." I said as I floated on top of the water.

"Because she's nice Gabi." Jen laughed as she also was floating on the water.

The next day-

Everyone-except Jen-went to the mall, and bought her more presents. It's not like we haven't already, but we always spoil everyone in our family. "Hey! Gabriella! You think you could squeeze into this?" Troy yelled, laughing in histarics as he held up a thong. Nobody saw him run into Victoria Secret. Chad burst out laughing and I snapped a look at him that made him shut up.

"Yes Troy. But you wanna know who'd look even better than I would in this?" I said as I walked up to him and grabbed it from his hand.

"Who?" he said as his eyebrows wrinkled, following me with his eyes as I circled him.

"You." I laughed as I put it on his head and ran. Chad, Andrew, Grant, Taylor, Alison, Alex (who wanted to join because it was his girlfriend), Zeke, and Jason were all laughing. Troy's face tensed as he took it off his head and threw it to the ground. I ran down the escalator and hid behind a manican in Pac Sun. Troy ran in and started looking through everything. "BOO!" I said pushing him then running to hide behind Andrew and Grant.

"Ohhh...NOW your gonna get it!" he ran, but then stopped as he almost ran into Andrew.

"What about now Twoysie?" I said mimicking all those stupid girls Troy used to date.

""Brie...please don't every say that to me." he said as he shuttered and winced.

"Aww...why not Twoysie?" I held in a few giggles.

"You know why. Because your better than all those girls, and I hate that nickname. It makes me feel like 3 year old." he whined as I laughed, as so did Chad, Grant, and Andrew.

After that hilarious scene we all went to go and shop a bit more and went to get a quick bite to eat before going back home.

Sorry for the late update, but I will update more. Cuz' I had a GREAT! FANTASTIC! SCENE! It happens in the club if that helps.....but it's sad in Gabriella's case.
