Chapter 2- Bathroom

Bing. Bing. Bing. Bing.

I smacked the snooze button and I rolled back over to sleep,

*Five Minutes later*

Bing. Bing. Bing. Bing.

I rolled over and I smacked my alarm clock, I yawned and I looked over at my clock, holy shit! I slept the entire night! From four to six this morning! I rarely sleep that much? Was I really that tired?

I felt a bad urge to go to the bathroom, I groaned and I headed to the bathroom, I rushed in there and went. I quickly got into the shower so I could get to school early.

I then got dressed; I pulled a pair of sweats on with a hoodie. I put on thick strips of masacara and some eye shadow. I went to slip on some slip-on shoes and I headed downstairs, I saw my backpack and my stomach churned again. I knew I should have at least started it last night but I did not, not turning in my homework on time was very unusual.

I felt a headache beginning to form and my thirst was coming back. I went to the kitchen and got another big cup of water, I finished my one off last night. I took big gulps and I grabbed some OJ out of the fridge. I grabbed some Lucky Charms and some milk out of the fridge to have cereal. I poured myself a bowl and I placed the juice and milk back in the fridge. I started eating my cereal before my stomach started to hurt worse, I dumped the rest out and I rinsed the bowl out.

I poured myself another glass of juice and drank that whole glass, I grabbed a granola bar and I ate that instead of the cereal. "Gabi? Honey, I never saw you again last night, are you okay?" My mom asked coming into the kitchen with her PJ's still on. My dad was sleeping on the couch, "Yes. I am fine," I said shortly, this was awkward. I did not want to be in this kitchen and neither did she, I could tell. I was ready to go to school and she was ready to move on with her life.

She sighed and leaned against the counter, "Gabi" her voice soft and caring, I know she loved me but I knew she wanted something else.

"I have to go," I said picking up my backpack, which was heavy, I grabbed my water bottle and I went out to the car. I got in and I started it, my mom was standing in the doorway looking at me. I gave her a weak smile before I drove down the street. I let my head wander, I passed Troy's house to see him getting in the car. He caught my eye and he gave me a small smile, which was not too good. Usually he would wink and wave, but only a smile?

I took a heavy breath and I parked my car in the parking lot. I opened my door and I headed inside the building taking a drink of water. I had to go to the bathroom again, I never had to go to the bathroom at school, and this was a first. I rushed to the bathroom to see two girls waiting. It was Maria and Jaymee, I rolled my eyes, these were two cheerleaders that I could not stand one because they are always all over Troy and two they are my cousin's best friends who I could I not stand.

"Troy Bolton came by my house last night," Jaymee said if I did not have to pee so bad I would run freak out but they were both standing in the way of the stalls.

"What did you two do?"

"Well…it was more of my brother's basketball thing but he still came over…I guess they were going to go to his uncles until Mattie changed the location, I guess he was at his girlfriend's house" She said with an eye roll, bitch was all I was thinking.

"What that Gabriella girl?"

I cleared my throat and they both turned around to see me, there eyes growing wide, "Her" Maria finished, Jaymee laughed nervously. Her eyes were a dull hazel and starred right at me.

"Can I just go to the bathroom please?" I asked desperately, they both glanced at each other and let me go, I jumped in and I went and did what I needed to do.

I lay in the nurse's office clutching my stomach, "Honey do you want me to call your mom?" The nurse asked I only shook my head.

"No" I said quietly, she only nodded her head and carried on with her work, I let my head bury into the hard pillow thing. I had to leave 2nd hour since my stomach hurt so bad, I felt sick to my stomach and it just hurt. She kept begging me to call my mom but I did not want to be with my mom. I did not want to ride in the car with my mom and I did not want to talk to her. Period.

I was having so much water that I went the bathroom three times in here already, the nurse kept giving me funny looks. "Honey are you sure you're okay?" Her voice concerned and worried.

I only nodded my head again; I heard the bell ring and student start to shuffle out of all of these rooms.

"Is Gabriella Montez in here?" Sharpay's shrill voice asked, I sat up and I got to my feet, the nurse started to respond before she saw me get up, "I don't think you should go back to class" She said standing up, she had on a pair of jeans and a pink t-shirt with a pair of white Keds.

"No, I have to" I whispered, I glanced up at Sharpay then I saw Troy coming in behide her. "Gabs, what are you doing in here?" He asked me, "Oh Nothing" he raised an eyebrow and then nodded his head. His blue eyes looked soft and cute yet hard and tense.

"Yeah R-" Sharpay started but I hit her leg, Troy eyed me up and down, "Mhm okay, I came to get Advil or something because my head kills after that basketball game we played in gym. Trying to go off of Duke and UNC last night, one heck of a game!" he said, his eyes glancing over to the nurse who was eyeing him, he looked excited and fun after that.

"Oh, well I heard you were at Jaymee's house" I said crossing my arms over my chest, his face paled a little, "Her brother Matt invited us over, and it wasn't because of her." He said trying to defend himself.

"Yes, I know but still, Jaymee" I asked, he rolled his eyes and brushed past me. I walked through the door and I walked to my next class. Troy was driving me insane and I have no clue why he is acting like this. Brushing past me like that was not him, he is the one who is usually talking to me and I walk away. All I needed though was to get through this day…and go to the bathroom.

RINGGGGGG

The final bell rang; I was tired and thirsty all day. I went to the bathroom five times in just one class. Third hour after the nurses off, I knew the teacher thought I was lying but she had a student go with me three times that hour.

When I had English with Troy, I went four times, the teacher sent Troy with me twice which Troy got concerned, I watched over the crowd to look for Troy, he was going home with me and we were gonna work on that thing with Darbus together and some other homework we both had. I yawned as his arms shifted around my body from behide. He had talked to me about Jaymee during lunch when I was drinking two water bottles.

"Hey Gabs," He said into my ear, I yawned and I looked at him, "Hi" I said, I licked my lips, "Do you mind if we stop somewhere to get a big bottle of water?" I asked my lips and tongue was dying out.

"Gabs, why are you so thirsty? You fell asleep in you sixth hour class according to Taylor, you didn't do your homework last night which isn't like you and you went the bathroom four times!"

"I more went like 15 the entire day" I said yawning again, "And you are tired!" He said, his grip around my waist holding me tighter, if I was not like this I bet he would not be with me right now.

"I" yawn, "I don't know Troy, I have been tired and sluggish, and I have been drinking water like crazy which makes me pee like crazy."

He kissed my forehead, "Lets take you home, maybe some sleep will help" He said as he guided me to my car.

"I went to bed after you left yesterday and I slept until my alarm clock went off this morning!" I said, he raised an eyebrow, "I have so much homework to do, which is all practically going to be counted late since I didn't do it last night then I have this big social studies project that is due here shortly. Darbus wants her thing by Friday, I have that Home Ec thing oh and I have three meetings next week," I kept ranting on until Troy's hand covered my lips.

"Shh…Gabs would you be quiet? You are making me tired with you schedule! You need to slow down; you are probably just getting sick with the flu or something then add the stress you have. Maybe a day off school tomorrow would be good for you; I think you are just really stressed." He said he guided me towards the car. "Will you drive?" I asked, "I am way too tired," I said to him as I climbed into the car

"How are your parents?" He asked he tossed his backpack in the backseat, me just putting it by my feet.

"They want to talk to me, which really scares me Troy. It scares me that they want to 'talk' I mean they are going to want me to decide who to live with when they get a divorce and blah blah blah" I said looking over at Troy, his eyes were attached to mine, "I am so sorry Gabs, you are going through so much" He said. He is the only person to know that my parents were fighting with each other; I did not want to tell me friends and have a pity party. Troy would hold me and he would let me talk about it and cry. Well this was until March happened…

"Probably why I am getting sick my stomach hurt all day today, I just wanted to curl up in a ball." I told him, he started the car and started to go backwards. I let my headrest against the seat. I thought about everything Troy called me but he hasn't called me Brie in like two months, that was his special nickname for me, I glanced over to him as he drove, he fiddled with my stations until it came to one of the basketball games, he didn't care who but that's who he was going to listen to it.

Troy stopped at the local gas station and he went in to buy me a water bottle, he bought the biggest he could find. He gave to me and I took long gulps, the fresh cold water soothing my mouth.

When we pulled into my driveway, I felt my body resisted my steps, I was tired, hungry and I had to pee again. I quickly went into my house; I raced up the stairs and into my bathroom. I felt like I was living in the bathroom all day everyday and it was being to really suck, I hated this.

Once I was finished I slipped off my shoes and washed my hands, I went out to see Troy sitting on my bed. "Babe are you okay?" He asked me softly, I stood in front of the bed. "You are looking really thin baby," He added, I climbed into the bed next to him.

"I might need to go to the doctor tomorrow," I said to him, he only nodded his head, "I really think you should Gabi," He said; we had an inch between us as we lay in bed. Any other time it would not be there, he was not even touching me. I reached over to grab his hand, he held it for a minute before he let go and reached for his phone. I sighed and he then reached up and brushed my hair back.

"So I think you need some sleep," He whispered, I only gave him a look, "With all of this homework I have to do?" I asked him, "I can't-" I started

He nodded his head, "Yes, I think you can you need to take a breather and sleep" He said sweeping some of my hair back. I only nodded and laid down deep in my pillow, "Fine" I whispered, I lied down and I closed my eyes.

"Gabi honey" I groaned and I rolled over, I had gone to the bathroom just twenty minutes ago, "Gabs" he said again, I lifted my head up.

I opened my eyes to see my dad standing above me and then I saw Troy sleeping on my other side, his phone on his chest. "What?" I asked him sleepily, my head falling back into the pillow.

"Honey, are you okay?" he asked, "Troy texted me earlier saying you had gone to the bathroom a lot today, drinking a lot of water, Sleeping. Did you sleep all last night?" he asked, I sat up and I rubbed my eyes, "Yeah I did" I said quietly, "Not doing your homework?" He asked me again, my dad knew me inside and out. He loved me and would always be there for me. He knew all my problems; he knew what was wrong when it was wrong.

"I am sorry, I think I am just really stressed and maybe getting a little sick" I said to him, he only nodded his head, "Do you want something to eat?" He asked me quietly

"Some Pop-ice?" I asked him, he nodded his head, "Okay sweetie…and don't worry about your mom and me okay? We will work this all out when you start to feel better, I will take you to the doctor tomorrow." He said kissing my forehead, "Thank you daddy" I whispered to him, my eyes starting to shift to a close again.

"Oh and would you like some Mac and cheese?" he asked, I nodded my head and he left my doorway. I laid my head on Troy's chest and I hid his phone under the pillows. My head resting on his arm, he then wrapped his around my chest.

"Are you feeling okay?" Troy whispered, "And I felt you move my phone" he teased me, I smiled softly and I turned my head to face him. This was the old us and I just wish it could stay like this because this is how I wanted it to stay.

I let my eyes blink for a moment, "Yeah, just my stomach still" I told him, "Oh and still thirsty, I had to go to the bathroom a little while ago"

"I know baby, I was up"

He kept his hands behide my back, my dad came back up the stairs and he handed me one of those ice pops and then he felt my forehead, "Your mom is going to stay at a hotel tonight" He said quietly, "What why?" I asked him, he only shrugged, "I don't know honey but I didn't want to keep it from you, she didn't want me to tell you but I couldn't keep it from you, expectedly since you are sick, you don't feel like you have a fever."

I glanced around my room before I looked up at my dad, "Daddy, if you guys get a divorce, I want to stay with you. I want you to have this house, you to have me." I said to him, he covered his mouth with his hands. I sat up and he gave me a hug, "Those are the best things I wanted to hear, I think that is what would be best too, your mom is just ready to move on, but she still loves you and will want to see you so don't ever doubt that"

"Daddy, mom would have kept that from me. I like how you are open with me and are here when I need you" I said, He kissed my forehead, "I love you honey" He said, I took a bite at my popsicle and then I grabbed my cell phone to see no messages. Troy had his back and was looking at some scores, "I think I should do some homework," I said quietly to him

"No, I am not letting you have brain power tonight" he said not even looking at me, I huffed and I lay back on my pillows, "Troy it is all due tomorrow!" My eyes connected with his, but he would not meet mine.

"You aren't even going to tomorrow,"

"I heard you were leaving Monday." I said to him, he twisted his head and looked at me. "How did you find out?" He raised his eyebrows.

"Taylor, but that's not the point! How come you didn't tell me?"

"I was going to tell you last night but you weren't feeling well so I decided to wait."

"Anytime at school today would have been wonderful!" I murmured, he looked at me before he sighed, "I better be going, I have homework to do anyways. Call me tomorrow after your doctor's appointment." He said, I only nodded my head and I played with the string on the end of the blanket.

"And we are leaving Saturday," he said before walking out, "Why so early?" I called

He turned back and looked at me, "Vacation time. Spring break with the boys, so I will come visit you tomorrow after school okay?"

I felt the tears gather in my eyes and I nodded my head. I broke down in tears once Troy left my room. I should just break up with him tomorrow; I cannot deal with him not wanting to be part of the relationship anymore. I felt heaves of sobs come up my throat.

I heard a knock at my door, "Gabi?"

I tried to choke back a sob but I could not do it, I let it go and my dad entered the room. "Oh Gabi," he said, I hid my face and he came over and grabbed me into a hug.

"Honey what's wrong?" he asked

"I-I don't know d-dad, I don't feel g-good." I said wiping tears back, trying to control the pace there were coming at but they were coming way to quick for me to stop them.

"Did Troy do something?" He asked me as he rubbed my back, I shook my head no, "N-no but I-I think I s-should break u-up with him."

He tightened his arms around my waist, "Oh honey you are so stressed right now, it will be okay." He said to me, the sobs kept coming. My dad sat there and held me tight to his chest.

We lay like this until I had to get up and go to the bathroom….again.
