Chapter 32- Dreams grow into Reality
"Brie!"
"Hmm?" I asked, my feet rested on the couch and a magazine placed in my lap, a bottle of water next to me.
"I have the best idea!" He cried, I looked up from my magazine to see him enter the room, his practice shirt on and his sweat pants which were sagging just a little to where I could see the top of his Calvin Kline boxers. I licked my lips and I smiled.
"Brie, Brie are you even listening?" I snapped out of my little 'fantasy' and looked up at him.
"Hmmph?" I asked him, he only smiled and rolled his eyes and ploped down next to me on the couch.
"What were you even thinking about?" He asked
"Oh...nothing" I said with a grin on my face, he only nodded and looked away.
"Anyways what were you saying?" I asked
"Well ok we had an autograph signing thing today y'know? And well these kids aging from 5-18 were there and they stood in lines, and I had the longest line there. My hand still hurts and I think Kobe was jealous, anyways they were all saying how they looked up to me and wanted to be just like me!"
"And?" I asked, I watched his amusement played on his face, his smile, his twinkle in his eyes.
"And I can start this HUGE production!"
"Production?"
"I mean like a Drugs, Alcohol, depression, suicide, all of it! I mean think of what we can do! And especially if you do start teaching" He said, I smiled and looked at him.
"I dont know Troy, its gonna take a lot of work" I said, I looked off to the side then back at Troy.
"I know but think if WE run it together-"
"Wait, we?" I asked
"Yeah, I mean you could be the one to handle everything"
"But what if I do get a job?" I asked, he looked at me for a moment and then waved his hand.
"But it would still be function, you are teaching health right? I mean thats all part of it, thats what you are in school for" He said, I sighed and looked at him.
"Okay, so what are you going to do with this?" I asked
He smiled and leaned forward and kissed me, "Thank you for at least listening, let alone agreeing" He said, I smiled and I rubbed my stomach.
"Answer my question!" I begged, he smiled and looked at me.
"Oh! I would like go around to schools and talk to the kids and hold camps in the summers that they could attend if they falled under one of the categories, help them through the rough time and all. I mean this can be kids from all over! You know we could get great turn outs and..."
"Ok, but what would be your main ones?" I asked, he looked at me for a second and then jumped up. I heard him running towards the kitchen. When I lost his sound I heard the door open.
"Hi!" I called out, I heard Taylor and Chad laughing.
"Hey!" Taylor called
"So Troyboy told you his fabulous idea yet?" Chad asked rolling his eyes
"Yes Chad I have and she thinks its a pretty good idea!" Troy said walking back into the room with his iPhone charger, he ended up getting himself the iPhone 4 himself, liking mine so much.
"I didnt saw it was a good idea, just a lot of work" Chad said, we all groaned and rolled our eyes.
"Fine, fine so be it. I am going to sleep, you comin Taylor?" He asked, she briefly nodded and then waved good-bye.
"Alright, so what are we going to do this for?" He asked, I shurgged and looked at him.
"This was your idea"
"Yeah, but there is so many and how would I do all of this?" He asked, I think his idea was finally setting in.
"Troy, do different weeks, for different things. Like one week you have all the people with drugs and or achole. One week for depression, another for sucide which I dont highly recommend because you would need watchers for like twenty four seven." I told him
"But I want to do more than those things" He said
"Well than do one for kids with cancer, another for diabetes, another week where you just have kids come, to where it doesnt matter what you are" I said shrugging.
"You are a genius!" He said, he was typing away at his iPhone, clicks here and there. I smiled and set back.
"What else" He said
"You are gonna need a name" I said, I got up as quickly as I could and I waddled over to my laptop. I sat back down and I placed it on my lap, I turned on the screen and I logged in.
"A name, what about after the baby?" He asked, I shook my head
"If you want to get this stuff together for this summer, you have to start now" I said "So we cant wait for the baby" I said rubbing my stomach.
"True..." he said, I nodded and I typed in my google bar, looking for organization starters.
"Here! We can go talk to this person tomorrow, they are only a few blocks away too!" I said pointing at the screen, Troy leaned over and nodded his head.
"I guess I need everything ready by tomorrow then" He said
"No, you just need your basics, what you are going to do, how you are, how you are paying for it and so on for so forth" I said, Troy nodded and then looked up.
"How about Wildcat Dreams?" He asked, I smiled and nodded my head.
"Yeah, you dont even have to think about colors, white and red" I said
"Yeah! That was my genius idea!" He said with a smile
I giggled and I turned back to the screen, I grabbed my phone and called the guy.
"Hi, we are looking into starting an organization" I said clearly into the phone.
"Ok, I have opening in one week for 11:00, 1:30, and 5:00" He said
I leaned over and looked at Troy and mouthed practice, he held up three fingers.
"Um the 11:00 will work best," I said
"Okay, and can I have the name of the owner of this organization?"
"Troy Bolton" I said
"Well the basketball star Troy Bolton?" The guy asked
"Yup, thats him!" I said, the guy was a little stund.
"This is the first huge star we are gonna have"
"He has only been playing for little over a month" I said
"I know but he is still huge!" The guy said, I only rolled my eyes and looked at him.
"Can I get your name?" I asked
"Oh, I am so sorry! I am Jimmy!"
"Ok, thanks Jimmy! We will see you tomorrow"
"Ok thanks!"
We both hung up and I looked at Troy, "11:00 tomorrow, ok?" I said, he nodded and put it into his phone.
"Now, we need ages"
"Alright, I think for cancer, diabetes, and the anybody crowd, I think you should do it from 5-18, , I know thats a lot but hey that's not far to the younger kids." I said, he nodded and then looked back at me. "Ok and for you depressed, drugs, and alcohol, only from like 15-18." I said
"What are you going to do with those last three?" I asked
He sighed and rubbed his temple, "I dont know, but I do know that no drugs or alcohol allowed on camp"
"Teach them better ways to get rid of the why they are drinking?" I asked with a shrug
"Yes! And get to the bottom of the issue"
"Yeah! Its almost a rehab but with superstar Troy Bolton, and you are at a camp!" I said, his eyes light up.
"Gabi that is brilliant!" He cried out, I smiled and he kissed my lips.
"And are you just doing basketball or are you doing camp activities where you rotate?" I asked
"I think for the summer ones to do like a normal camp, but like during the winter when I have time of course to hold just some basketball lessons, and we can have this big fundraiser too"
"What would you do?"
"Like some sorta auction, maybe auction that Laker team off, have some volunteers be auctioned off, have kids do some money funds, I could get my dads basketball team to help" He said
"What would they do?" I asked, I smiled as he thought, I kept throwing questions at him and he didnt notice but he was answering them.
"I dont know, car washes, Pancake breakfast, sell t-shirts..."
"T-shirts!" I said
"T-shirts?"
"You need to design t-shirts!"
"Yes! Yes I do! And we can sell those, and we can have like a big I dont know what food but something where we cook some sorta food, like seven of the Lakers players cook something and we invite the public to try and eat with us, five dollars a ticket. I mean this could be huge!" Troy said, I nodded my head as he kept typing away at his cell phone.
"Troy, you arent going to be too busy for basketball and this for the baby right?" I asked, this topic on my mind. I pinced the bridge of my nose as he looked up at me.
"Oh Brie, I will have plenty of time" He said, he put his phone down and I set my laptop down, I crawled over and into his lap.
"I just, you are already going to be gone alot and..."
"Brie, I will be there. In the summers you guys will probably come down anyways, I mean you might be there and the baby. Stay there, it could be fun" He said, "And we will have holidays where we take a vacation, plus our two week trip"
"Yeah, but thats not with the baby" I said
"I know but we wont miss a thing of the babys life Gabs, I wont miss anything" He said
"Promise?"
"Promise. Plus I am going to be a huge influnce on him/her" He said
"What do you want?" I asked
"I dont know, a boy to play with, a girl to spoil"
I smiled and leaned back "Yeah, both would be mega nice" I said
"I know right?"
I giggled and I stood up, "Come on we have a little more to do" I said, I walked into the kitchen...
"So you guys want to start this?" Jimmy asked over his glasses, Troy and I nodded. We sat in Jimmy's office talking to him a week later, Troy and I had shared ideas all week. Smiles and laughes all over.
"Ok, you guys have like everything, but we need marketing ideas"
"Marketing?" Troy asked
"Advertising, umm getting the word out"
"Oh! ok! Sorry long night last night" Troy said, I smiled and looked down, another mid-night craving.
"Hmm, really. Anyways have you found a facility to do basketball programs in?"
"No, not yet but I am hoping, cross your fingers, to use the Laker gym, if I cant use there I will probably go to like the community center or something." He said
"Good, good. Now you are going to need a complete separate email, phone line, fax for all of this stuff, keep this out of your Private life."
"P.O. box?" Troy said, Jimmy nodded his head.
"Yes, nothing to give away where you really live and your real phone number."
"Ok, so you are basically saying I need an office of some sort"
"Yes and no" He said
"Ok"
"You can use an office like at home, but that second phone should be in charge by somebody else. That can answer questions and all of that, emails should go to this person too."
Troy nodded his head "Cool, ok so does this mean we are good to go, we can start?"
"Before you do any camps you and whoever is working with you needs to have background checks, and all of that stuff." He said
"Ok, so faster we can get that, the faster you can start everything"
"Alright, I think we are stopping by the childrens hospital to talk to a group of doctors." Troy said, that was another thing we did in the last week. I called the Childrens hospital and told them our idea and they were siked. They couldnt wait to be part of this.
"Thats also a good thing, you were gonna need them"
"Yeah, so we are set?"
"Yup, I am going to put your names in the system now, Wildcat Dreams, I like it!"
Troy and I smiled "Thanks"
"Alright, you are free to go" Troy and I nodded, we both got up and Troy grabbed my hand. We walked out of the office all smiles. When we got outside Troy wrapped me up in a kiss, his arms wrapped around me. My belly in the way of course.
"Mmm...I love you" He murmured against my lips.
"I love you too Troy, I cant believe we just did that"
"We are the fly by our pants kinda of people." I said, Troy nodded in agreement, we got into the car and we drove to Colorful Childrens Hospital.
Once we pulled in we checked in and we headed towards the back, Doctor Annie Smith met us back there.
"Hi! I am Annie and I spealize in teens and drugs and achole." She said, Troy and I shook her hand.
"Hi, I am Troy and this is my beautiful girlfriend Gabi" He said, I blushed and looked at the doctor.
"Well...nice to meet you guys, now we are meeting with the head of each department you descibed that you would like to help in your organazation and we can help you with this stuff."
"Yay! We are super excited! I am in school for a health teacher but I am taking hospital classes." I said, Annie smiles and she led us to a confernce room.
"Now, we have one request, we have this huge basketball fantic in the hospital, he watches every Lakers game and has a Troy Bolton t-shirt, he has cancer through right now, but is close to the finish mark but we would love for him to meet you" She said as we walked down a long corrdior.
"Actully, we are giving ten free spots away at every camp, so we can give him one" Troy said, Annie smiled and then turned away.
"That would be amazing"
"We will be back over the next few weeks probably handing them out if thats okay, and if you would spread the word of the camp, we are making flyers right now, but as soon as we get some we will bring them here." Troy said, Annie nodded her head and led us into the room, where at least 6 doctors were sitting. Three woman, and three men.
"Doctors, this is Troy Bolton and his girlfriend Gabriella Montez" Annie said, they all looked up and waved, friendly from the woman, and a drool from the men.
I giggled and reached forward "Hi, my name is Doctor Harris"
"Hi, Gabriella but call me Gabi" I said, I shook his hand and Troy followed, Doctor Harris commenting on his playing skills.
"Hi, I am Doctor Alison" She stood up and shook my hand.
"Doctor Stanley" The next guy said, Troy followed my each time we went.
"Doctor Libby" I nodded my head and I sent her a soft smile
"Doctor Angla" I smiled and shook her hand
"Doctor Miller" I nodded and shook his really rough hands, if I thought Troy's was rough, I was wrong.
Once we greeted everybody we sat down in the chairs, Troy slipped his hand over my stomach, the baby kicked like no other when he did either. I smiled up at him and he winked and turned back to the group.
"Alright so, we are going to go around and introdute ourselves a little more, what you do in the hospital for the doctors and why and for Gabi and Troy how about you tell us a little about your jobs and family stuff." Doctor Annie said, Troy and I nodded.
"Alright, good! We will start with Doctor Harris, and end with Gabi" She said, I nodded my head shortly.
"I am Doctor Micha Harris, I work in depression and why, hmmm...I dont know exactly. I think because when I was 17 or so I was in depression and I hated it so I feel I can relate to these guys a little and I work with them on it, and it would be awesome for them to have a camp for a week, to be with others like them and maybe up bring themselves for a while, to see that they arent alone"
"Thats what I thought, how many doctors are there in this building that treat depression?" Troy asked
"5, and all five would be more than excited to help" He said with a curt nod.
"Ok, I am Doctor Alison Huge and I work in the Diabetic center with Doctor Angla down there" She said "And I work with diabetic because my younger sister has it herself and I know what it does to them, and I just like to be there. I like to make sure they feel comfortable with what is happening in there life"
Troy nodded and then he turned to the next one.
"Hi, I am Doctor Libby and I run the Cancer department, Doctor Stanley down there is head of radiology, which is the last part of cancer. I know I help kids with Cancer I fell over joyed that I am trying to make them better, it hurts to lose a patient, yes. But you and that patient battle daily, together. I have those moments with kids it makes me so happy to see them laughing, smiling, even though they are in deep emotional pain." She said, I teared up a little, my emotions getting the best of me. I turned away for a second, letting on of the tears fall.
"You okay Gabi?" Doctor Annie asked
I instently felt Troy's stare on me, I felt his hand reach for mine. "Oh, no that was just really touching and all and I am very hormonal..." I said, I stared off and I looked back to see there smiles.
"we get that all the time, dont worry" Doctor Angla said, I smiled and we kept going around the table.
"Alrighty, my name is Troy Bolton and I play for the Lakers, I went into this because I love basketball, I played some college at Duke for two years, then transferred of to UCLA, where I played the last year, then I got drafted. Anyways, I am a daddy to be and is super excited. I am 22, I have a sister who is 16 gettting ready to turn 17, my parents who live in New Mexico are both 47, mom stays at home and my dad is a gym coach at my old high school" Troy said, I sighed knowing it was my turn.
"Hi, my name is Gabriella Montez, but please call me Gabi! I am in school right now to be a helath teacher but that might change, I dont know. I will more than less become a stay at home mom." I said as I rubbed my belly, "I am 7 months pregant and due in April, I am 21, turning 22 in a few weeks. My dad died a few years ago, and my mom is not in the picture, but I do have a half sibling Kyle, who is 17. I have gone to UCLA for all three of my years and getting ready to finish next year." I said
"Alright, now that we have all meet, lets get started on what we are going to do..."
"Well, that was fun" I said sarcastically
Troy laughed and I leaned against him, "I know right? I didnt plan on being there so long, I ended up calling Tyler saying I was going to be late" He said laughing
"We still have to go meet this little boy"
"I know, I dont to rush it either so I am gonna ask if we can come in tomorrow" He said, I nodded my head.
"Doctor Annie, is it okay if we come back tomorrow to meet the little boy? I have practice in umm ten minutes and I didnt want to rush the visit" Troy said
"Oh no! That is completely fine! I heard he was already asleep anyway" She said with a gently smile
"Thank you, we will be in, in the morning."
"Sounds good, and we will spread the word about what you are doing"
"Great, thanks soo much!" Troy said, I smiled and I turned around and headed for the door, Troy following behide me.
"You okay?" He asked
"Yeah, I am just really tired" I said
"You need some sleep" He said, he wrapped his arms around my waist and I leaned back into him.
"I know but I have been on the go for the last week"
"Yeah, so when you get home, go to bed" He said
"Okay, I will, actully you can bet on it" I said with a laugh, he laughed in my ear, which made my stomach flutter. A kick from the baby too, so soft and gentle.
"You know I have always dreamed of doing this?"
"Of what?" I asked him, we stood in front of our car now.
"Of helping others"
"Really? You didnt ever strike me of that kind of guy,...you were younger" I said
"Oh, yeah. I was always doing little fundraisers for cancer, I did a lot of runs before I met you."
"What made you stop?"
"Well, between you, basketball, working, and friends I was kinda busy. But I still dream of doing it" He said
"Well as you can see Dreams to become reality"
"Like having a baby with you?" He asked
I laughed and looked up at him "Yeah, I guess that was a dream, wasnt it?"
He grinned and brought his lips closer to mine "Yes. Absoultly." He said, right before his soft lips planted on my face, into a sweet kiss.
I pulled back and rested my forehead on his "and guess what, that turned into a reality" I said
He only kissed me once more...only for a bit longer though.
