Chapter 33- A blow-up
"Happy New Years Eve Gabi!" Called Chad who was standing in the kitchen, I rubbed my eyes and I looked up at him.
"Thanks"
"I thought you and Troy were going to see that little boy today?" Chad asked
"Doctor Annie called saying he spiked a fever and he wasnt really up for it, so after Troys length of away games" I mumbled
"We leave tomorrow"
"Yeah, I know, chill" I snapped, Chad only looked at me for a second and started eating his apple. I only shook my head and walked into the living room. I saw Kyle and Jenni...making out. Good God would they stop for ten seconds?
"Kyle! Jenni! Stop for ten seconds please?" I begged, more like yelled. They both pulled back and gave me looks. I groaned and I stomped upstairs, to only stop half way up to catch my breath.
"Have you guys seen Gabi?" I heard Troy's voice echo down the hallway.
"Oh goodness, somebody is in a bad mood this morning"
"Shit, thats wonderful" He mumbled, I took two steps up the stairs only to lose my footing and slip. I quickly grabbed the railing to balance myself, I felt myself scream, my eyes shut tightly afraid to see what was going to happen. Only to feel myself stop moving. I opened my eyes a little and I was standing still on the stairs.
"Gabi, damn it dont scare me like that!" Troy said, I turned around and stared at him. I stepped up the stairs and took off down the hallway, tears swarmed my eyes as I entered my bathroom. I felt Troy follow me, his body leaned against the door frame, actually blocking my way out.
"Please tell me" He whispered, his voice soft, I cringed and I backed off from him and turned around.
"I feel I shouldnt have to tell you, I think you should just know" I mumbled
"I know you do but I dont ge-"
"I know you dont get it!" I yelled, I pushed him off my body and I left the bathroom, I went down the hall and into the nursery.
"Gabi" He moaned, I closed my eyes and I entered the nursery and I locked the door. I slid down the back of the door and buried my head in my hands.
I felt the knob turn and the rejection of the door. I heard Troy groan and then banged on the door.
"Please!" He begged, I sobbed into my hands and I got up and I walked over towards the rocking chair, something ten times more comfortable.
"Gabi, please I didnt mean to make you mad! I really didnt! I promise you!"
I laid back and choked back a sob, my throat burned. I was beginning to hate this New Years Eve, I really was.
"Damn it, I didnt mean to yell like that, I was just a little frustrated." I could hear Troy plead down the hallway, I swear if I could drive right now, I totally would. I would pick up my car keys and leave. Be long gone, I crept outside onto the balcony. I looked over the ocean, a few tears still left.
I didnt quiet know why I was crying, either from Troy being gone for two weeks or just emotions.
I felt his arms wrap around my shoulders to where his hands where laying on my chest, I leaned back against him and looked up.
"I didnt mean to yell Brie" He mumbled
I stayed silent and I looked straight forward, my eyes set on the waves coming in on the beach.
"Brie, you gonna talk?"
"What about?" I snapped
He kissed the back of my neck and then my ear, for him to rest his chin on my shoulder.
"Are you okay?" He asked, his voice carried away.
"Troy why in hell would I be okay?" I cried, I got out of his grip of his arms and turned into the bedroom.
"Okay then tell me! Tell me why you arent ok!" Troy said, his fists gripping onto each other. His fists turning white, I turned and shook my head.
"Why should I have to tell you! Why should I have to Troy? Arent you the perfect boyfriend everybody claims, doesnt he always know whats up?" I screamed, tears blurred my vision and I walked a little more back towards the dresser.
"Gabs,"
"Dont Gabs me ok? I am not up for that!"
"Why wont you tell me?" He asked, his voice uneven, rocky.
"Why should I have to tell you! I think you should figure it out!" I yelled, I stormed towards my bathroom and I stepped in. I felt Troy sigh and made his way to the bathroom. His body leaning against the door frame, blocking my way out.
"Please" His voice soft, grounded.
I stood silently and he wrapped his arms around me, I pulled back and I stormed out of the bathroom, tears falling down my cheeks. Troy groaned behide me, I headed towards the nurserey, I quickly made my way into the room and I locked the door.
I slid down the back of the door, a sob escaped my throat and I buried my head in my hands, my throat burned from all of the crying. A sob built up in my throat, tired.
I felt Troy come to the door, the knob rejecting his entrance. I heard his frustrated sigh through the door.
He banged on the door which made me jump "Gabi...please!" He begged, I silently cried into my hands. A sob every now and then, I sat against the door what seems like forever. After another few minutes I got up and I went to sit in the rocking chair. I wiped a few tears away, my head pounding. I could still hear Troy's faint knocking, I could hear him beg to let him in. I cried even harder with ever request.
Next thing I know, I fall asleep.
"Gabi!"
Kyle. His voice registered inside my head, my eyes blinked open and I sat up. I looked towards the clock to see it was almost three, I sat up and my back hurt horribly. I sat up further to where I was standing. I cringed in pain, my head, my throat, my body hurt so bad. I whimpered as I took a step forward. I grabbed the dresser for support. I closed my eyes and I ended up at the door. I opened it slowly to see nobody there. Good, I dont care.
"Troy she has to come out sometime"
"I know but, I just dont know what to do"
"You got into a fight" Shapary said
Troy was silent, a glare maybe? "Yeah, Sharpay we got into a fight!" He said sarcastically
"Well you did" She said, her voice innocent.
"Thank Pay, thanks"
"Dude, she is probably sleeping"
"Yeah, I know she is, I heard her stop crying after a while, thats when I chose to sit against the door, until you pried me off." He mumbled
"It was for your own good"
"Dont even go to that shit" Troy mumbled, I carefully worked my way down the stairs, I turned into the kitchen only to see that Sharpay could see me.
"Uh Troy, turn around" I closed my eyes and turned to face the other direction. I heard chairs move and then I was in his arms. I stood stifle against him, my body hurt to much to move.
"Brie, are you gonna tell me?"
I groaned and I moved out of his arms, I couldnt believe he hasnt figured it out.
"You have been sitting and thinking and you couldnt think of anything?" I cried
His face softened and then he looked down "Gabs, I was-"
"Troy, I dont wanna hear it" I said, I turned and I headed towards the front door, I needed some air.
"Ok, you wanna hear it?" He yelled, I turned and I looked at him, tears gathered in his eyes.
"Yeah, I really do!" I cried
He took a breath and bite the side of his cheek, "Ok, I am clueless Gabi! I really am! I have no idea what to do, I dont know if this is emotion, hormones, pregnancy related or is this I am really pissed at Troy for something? What is it? I really would love to know Brie cause I just need some sorta of guidance. Something please" He begged, he scooted closer to me and I didnt move any where.
"What if it is a mixture of both?" I asked
"What more of?" He asked
"Maybe most of it is pregnancy but the other ten percent is mad at you for not figuring it out!"
He sighed frustrated, his breath angry.
"I love you Gabs, and I dont know what to do anymore" he cried
I took a deep breath and took a step closer to him, "Right now, I just want you to hold me" I cried, he obliged and pulled me into a hug, I cried for my body, for my anger at Troy, for him leaving for two weeks.
After ten minutes I pulled back and I kissed his lips, "I want you to think, about the next month" I mumbled, he sighed and then he kissed my forehead.
"Gabi, I see the next mon-"
"No Troy! I am not talking about that! I am not talking about that!" I cried
He groaned and tossed his head back "Than what?"
"You being gone for two weeks!" I yelled, I felt the room go silent, yet a weight lifted off my shoulders. I saw Troy's arms drop, I looked at the clock, it was almost four. An hour since I awoke. We had more people coming over at around 530, so we had to figure this out.
Everybody shifted there weight from foot to foot, looking around.
"Oh I didnt even think about that"
"Yeah, you didnt think is the problem" I whispered, Oreo blew past us and running around. When she caught the mood of the moment she stopped and laid down.
"Troy we have to figure this out"
"I can't just not go" He said
"No, not that part" I said
He sighed frustrated "Then what part?"
"Listening? Thinking? That part?" He asked
"Ok, can we work this out later? I need to shower before everything tonight, unless you want to come with me?" He asked, I shook my head and I walked back towards the couch. I sat down in a huff and I crossed my arms.
"Alright if thats what you choose then come with me" He mumbled
"What! Hey you said-"
"I know what I said! I just dont agree!"
"Dont agree? what the hell?" I asked
He grunted and dragged me up the stairs, "Yeah, I dont agree with what I say" He said, I rolled my eyes and I stuck my tongue out at him. This was going to be a long night.
"Troyyy!" I growled, his body stood in front of the mirror a towel slung around his waist.
"Gabi, I need to talk to you, no wait baby-sit you" He said, he shot me a look and I scrunched up my nose. I rubbed my stomach, the baby kicking like crazy.
"No need to be rude" I said rolled my eyes
"Well, if the only way to talk to you is that why then fine" He said, he threw on a shirt and then walked across the room.
"You know, the baby wont stop kicking" I mumbled
"Maybe its because it is agreeing with dad" He said
"Yeah, right" I mumbled, he shot me a glare and then put boxers and a pair of jeans on.
"Gabi please, what is it that we need to work through?"
"I told you Troy!" I yelled
He sighed and then walked out and slammed the door, oh is this not great or what?
I laid back on my bed and I stared at the fan, it circled around and around.
I heard the door open and walked in Lucille, I sat up and looked at her. My eyes dulled into hers.
"You okay? I heard what went down between you and Troy"
I slowly shook my head and looked back towards the ceiling, I fell back against the bed and Lucille walked closer to me.
"You two really hate fighting dont you" she said, I nodded my head.
"What are you even fighting about?"
I shrugged my shoulders, "Right now, it beats me" I said
"Then why hold a grudge"
"I think now its just a fight, and we are both to stubborn to admit whats going on." I said
She nodded and sat next to me "You should just talk, or stand down, call a truce"
I rolled my eyes and sat up "Come on, senior year, February 15th, I yelled at him for being an overload basketball ass, for not spending time with me, the fight lasted four days. I am telling you, we are both so stubborn that I am starting to think we will have one stubborn baby." I told her, she laughed
"Gabi, you have no idea how miserable Troy was, he almost called I think 100 different times each night, no joke. He just didnt have the guts, one of you has to step up."
I nodded, "I know we do, I cant live with him leaving for two weeks and us being in a fight"
She nodded and then placed her hand on my stomach, "The baby is really kicking"
"No shit" I said, she laughed and then she helped me up.
"I am going to put some decent clothes on quickly before I head downstairs" I said
"Ok, holler if you need help" she said, I nodded and I walked over to my dresser, I pulled out a Black, maturity, top. I slipped on some white maturity pants and black flats, when I looked down I saw Troy's suitcase. I looked around and noticed nobody around, I unzipped it quickly and grabbed one of his worn hoodies that hasnt been washed. I pulled it up to my nose and took a nice long sniff. Smells just like him. I sighed and I stashed it in my dresser under all of my bras and underwear. I quickly shut his suitcase and I grabbed a hoodie he wasnt taking, the white American Eagle one and slipped it over my head. Surprised it still hung loosely on me, real loose.
I sighed and I opened the door, to see it was a little after 6:30. My life was going by quickly. To quick.
I looked down the hallways to see it empty, I heard the vibration of some music, not very load though. I sighed and I waddled down the hallway. When I got down the stairs I looked around for Troy, to make up. When I spotted him across the room, talking to Kobe and Matt. I carefully weaved through the crowd. When I got to him Matt and Kobe were telling him about this place in San Diego where they would be staying at.
"Yeah, some really nice babes out there" Matt said, I scrunched my brow, they couldnt see me yet, yet I could hear them.
"Really?" Troy asked, I wanted to cry right there. I moved more through the crowd and I stood behide Troy.
"Sounds like fun" he said, Kobe and Matts eyes lite up like fire.
Kobe coughed and then pointed in my direction, Troy slowly turned around. I had my arms crossed over my chest, my weight on one foot.
"Some really nice babes, oh really?" I said mimicking there voices
Troy groaned and rubbed his face "I was coming over here to be the bigger person and make up with you but now, now I am a little pissed off!" I yelled
He closed his eyes and rubbed his face "Gabi, I am sorry ok? I love you, you know that" He said, he looked down at me and then he smiled, "My hoodie?"
I rolled my eyes and I took off through the crowd, he followed behide me and grabbed my arm and dragged me outside.
"Brie, come on talk to me"
"Talk to you! Isnt it your turn?" I scoffed
He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair and then placed a kiss on my forehead.
"Ok, I am sorry, I am sorry I being so stubborn, I can honestly say I have NOO idea what we are fighting about anymore, seriously." He said, I smiled a little bit and I leaned into him.
"You know I hate fighting right?" I said to him
"Yeah, I know you do, I hate it myself"
"Do you know what I really hate?"
"What?"
"That you are leaving tomorrow morning"
He smiled and brought me into a hug, "I know Brie, its gonna suck but at the same time I know I am gonna have fun, I am playing basketball, I think my dad is going to one"
"Thats cool, which one?" I asked
"Um I dont know, he decided he was picking an away game to go to."
I nodded my head and leaned against him, "So are we done fighting?"
He laughed and then kissed my lips, "I think so" he mumbled against them
"Good, I am really glad"
He kissed me once again and then we locked arms around each other, His arms wrapped around my back.
"Brie, the baby is in the way" He mumbled
I giggled and I pulled back "Dont you think I know?" I asked he smiled and then kissed my forehead
"Come on, lets go finish this party"
"Yes, lets"
Four beers later Troy was still at my side, I laughed along with him and hung out with his friends, there was ten minutes left till midnight. I sighed and I leaned against him as he popped open beer number five, somebody was going to be hung over tomorrow.
"Gabi, I need you for a second" Taylor said into my ear, I nodded and I kissed Troy's cheek and told him I would be right back.
"O-okk" He stammered, I rolled my eyes and walked away upstairs and into Taylor and Chad's bedroom. Taylor was sitting on the edge of the bed, a passed out Zeke on the bed and Sharpay standing in the far corner.
"Oh-no, this doesnt look good"
"Its not that bad" Taylor said shifting from foot to foot
"Ok, then what is it?"
"Ok, Zeke was a little umm whats the word...drunk."
"A little?" Sharpay piped up
"Alright, so a lot, but anyways he started calling Sharpay names a bitch, um slut things like that and then passed out drunk"
"And?"
"Sharpay was hurt"
"What do you mean?" I asked
"I fell and I think I broke my hand and I told Zeke and he went off on me" Sharpay said, I could see the tear fall down her cheek.
"Well you need to go to the hospital, I cant drive, Troy is too drunk, Taylor?" I asked, she nodded and I then pulled Shar into a hug.
"It will be all right, ok? Stay strong, we have two weeks to totroue Zeke." I told her, she laughed a little and then we pulled back.
"See ya in the morning" I said, they both nodded and they left the room. "This night is so crazy" I mumbled to myself
I walked out of the room and down the hall and into the living room, I saw Troy and a blond girl, I squinted my eyes. I saw Troy push her back a little and then turned and leave, I smiled and I walked closer to him.
"Hey" I said, he looked down and smiled, he kissed the top of my forehead and then looked at me all googleyed eyed.
"Awwww...yourr sooo cutee" He slurred, I rolled my eyes and we sat around for a whole and then we heard the count down begin.
"10"
"9"
"8" The room roared out with numbers
"7"
"6"
"5"
I scooted closer to Troy, I smiled and I felt Troy's grip around my shoulders tighten.
"4"
"3"
"2"
One second, and this was the last of this year, thats all we had left, it was scary.
"1"
"HAPPY NEW YEARS!" Everybody yelled, Troy brought me into a sweet loving kiss, I smiled into the kiss and wrapped my arms around him.
"I love you" I murmured
"I love you too babby" he slurred a little
I smiled and then tugged on him a little "Come on baby, lets go to bed" I said, he nodded and we headed upstairs.
"Can you believe we are starting a new year?" I asked Troy, we both laid in bed now, after changing and doing nightly routines.
"No, I cant, I still feel like I am sitting in Chad and Taylors living room, you tell me your pregeant, I remember trying not to freak out." Troy said, his arms wrapped around me.
"I know? I remember crying to Taylor the day I found out, not knowing what to do"
I saw a hint of a smile on his face, "I am really tied Brie and I can still hear the music downstairs"
"Some hosts we are, we just left and are going to bed" I said laughing
"Hey y'know we are tired!" Troy laughed and then he kissed my forehead
"Night Brie"
"Night Troy" I said, this would be the last time for two weeks we would sleep in the same bed.
"Happy New Year"
"Yeah, Happy New Year, thank goodness we didnt start out the new year with a fight" He said
I laughed and I smiled "Yeah, thats a good way to start" I mumbled
"Just a little blow up"
"Yup, a little" I said, just a little. I closed my eyes and before you know it, I was out.
