Chapter 11- The Only One
"Troy!" I giggled as he spun me around, it has been a month since I had left the hospital and I felt like my life was heading in a postive area. I really did not have remarkable lows that made me go insane like the last one did. I had one here and there but it was not anything serious. I never really had a big high yet.
"What?" he asked pressing his lips up against mine? His eyes sparkled in the April sun, "Do you think this saved our relationship sometimes?" his forehead crumpled and he set me down. My feet hit hard on the rough ground as his arms hung loosely around me.
"What?" he asked with a puzzled look, I sighed as we both fell onto the grass. "The whole diabetes thing, I mean if it wasn't for this would we still be together?" his jaw tightened before he finally looked at me. "I don't know, the way you were feeling I'm not sure." I gave a small smile as I leaned back on him. At least he cared enough to look at it like that.
"What I do know though is that we would have been back together in no time. You are my soul mate and that will never change." I felt a grin slip onto my face he was so sweet. I cannot believe I through about getting rid of him. "Good because I am in love with you." I pushed him back on to the grass as I let my hand float up his shirt. I laughed a little as his thumb ran over my butt and down my thigh. "That tickles." My voice carried through the wind and he smiled.
"Good, I like hearing you laugh." He gave me a quick flirty smile before rolling me over to be on my back. "What that is not far!" I protested. His lips were quick to find mine, that shut me up but as soon as it started, it was over. I gave him a quick look but he shook his head.
"How are you feeling?" he murmured, I sighed rolling my eyes, "Troy can we just forget about diabetes for ten minutes and make out?" I asked him while running my fingers over his hard rock abs. He may have dropped basketball but he has not stopped working out. His dad was not too happy about him quitting, it sent him to sleep on my couch for a few days but his dad cooled down after a while.
"Well if that's how you are going to put it," he said with a grin, I smirked as he leaned down to press his lips against mine. Troy's hand rubbed my stomach with his rough hands. Our lips never disconnected until my phone began to vibrate. I groaned softly as I rolled back off Troy. We seemed to always have interruptions anymore.
I picked up my phone to see Anthony calling me, "Hello?" I asked pressing it against my ear. "Are you coming to my game Friday?"
"What?" I asked as I laid on my back my hand touching Troys hair. His lips started to kiss my fingers as I tried hard not to laugh. "Did dad not talk to you?" he asked me, "No, I know I have a doctor appt Friday so I wasn't already going to school but maybe I had something else going on…"
"Wait what?" Troy said looking at me, I shooed him off as I waved my hand at him. He pouted for a moment until I got the question I knew Anthony was going to ask. "Are you with Troy?" I sighed, "Yes Anthony, Troy is with me. When you have a boyfriend you usually spend time with him." I growled into the phone. I did not get why they did not like each other. They both loved sports and the same teams so Whats the problem?
"Whatever but I hope to see you in those stands Friday,"
I nodded my head, "Alright fine, I will talk to you later." I said to him as I let my hands guide though Troy's hair once more. I liked the touch and smell of his hair. It comforted me. "Don't do anything stupid," he said before ending our phone call. I blinked several times before I dropped the phone onto the ground next to me. "What do you mean you won't be at school Friday?" Troy asked as he rolled over onto his side facing me.
"I have to be at the hospital in the morning for a check up." I told him as I let my hand run down his bicep. He gave a small smile, "Friday is going to suck," Troy told me, "I know," I pouted, "And it sounds like you won't be home Saturday night."
"I probably won't be home until Sunday if I am going to see Anthony. He will want me to stay and it's hard to reject him since I rarely see him."
"What if I drove down after school? I could get there in under hour and half. Probably catch the end of his game and we could get a hotel room."
I laughed, "Like my parents would EVER allow that to happen."
He snapped his fingers with a glowing grin, "Damn, I guess I will just have to sneak her off into a dark ally!" I started to laugh; I sat up as I giggled. "Wow really?" I asked him with a glowing grin. Troy shrugged his shoulders, "Maybe but please can I just drive up after school?"
"Troy," I started but he put his finger to my lip, "Please?" he begged, I shook my head. "Troy, I don't think Anthony really wants to see you." I said sitting on his lap facing him. "I don't even know if I'm going." Troy licked his lips before he leaned forward to kiss me. "I promise you, if you are there so will I."
After talking to my dad Wednesday night, it was true. I was going to Santa Fe to watch Anthony play in a tournament for the entire weekend. "Can Troy come?" I asked him, "He can if his parents let him." My dad said as he walked out the door. I gave my mom a curious look.
"Nothing sweetheart," I just nodded okay and left it alone. Things had been ten times better since everything happened. My dad sometimes had his grumpy days but that was normal for an old man.
Going to school was another story for the day. Pulling into the school parking lot, I quickly spotted Troy out in the crowd. I flipped my keys over into my hands to turn the car off. I reached for my backpack and got out to yell Troy's name. He instantly turned around catching my voice.
"Hey Brie!" he called over a group of people. I gave him a wink as I slipped my backpack around my shoulders. I shut the door to my car and locked it tight. I ran to catch up with him. He was standing talking to Chad and Taylor. "Hey guys," I said a little out of a breath.
"Gabi how was your night?" Taylor asked as we took step in front of the people. "Amazing," I said flicking a look back to Troy. He smiled as he carried his conversation on with Chad. "Fantastic so movie night my house on Saturday?" she asked, I frowned.
"I'm sorry. I can't," I pouted slightly as Troy's arm wrapped around my shoulders. "What do you mean?"
"Anthony is playing in a touneys up in Santa Fe? Remember we talked about this last night." His face registered it quickly, "Oh yea." He said with a sheepish grin. "I remember but it's the whole weekend."
"If you can get your parents to let you go you can come with us. They just have to be okay with it. We are leaving after my appointment."
"My parents said no more missing school so I can probably come up later." He said as he turned me in the hallway. He stroked my cheek with his thumb before planting a kiss on my lips. "Good Morning."
I giggled, as he was always sure to do this, "Good morning." I murmured back to him. He planted another kiss on my temple before we both left to go to our lockers. We met up again shortly afterwards in homeroom.
"So Gabi are you ever going to tell us what happened that one week? Why were you not here?" Michelle asked me in the hallway. I cringed slightly, only a few people knew about the whole diabetes thing. I did not privately in the nurse's office and I told nobody why I was gone. The only people who really knew were the gang, my teachers, and the nurse.
"Uhm, just something for my brother." I said scratching the top of my head. I had gotten these questions a lot since they knew I was a little sick.
"Oh well," she said sighing. It is, as they all knew but wanted me to say it. "What was that about? Not cheating on me or anything?" he teased
I rolled my eyes, "Oh yea cheating on you with Sarah." He chuckled as his warm lips captured mine. "So I went to the gym really fast to run it by my dad and he said yes. I have to drive up so I will see you on Friday. I'm guess we are staying in a hotel room?"
"I don't know I am just going along for the ride." Troys thumb rubbed my lower back. "Well my dad is calling yours to work out all the details."
"Good. That means I don't have to worry about it." I said as I put my head up for another kiss. "Bolton! Montez!" Darbus sneered, "No PDA!" I giggled softly as Troy's face crumbled into a frown. I patted his chest before walking off to my class.
It was sixth hour. One more hour and I would be leaving. I rubbed my eyes and I looked at the board to see what the teacher was writing. I squinted my eyes as I looked at it more closely.
"Gabi would you please explain this," I looked at the numbers on the bored and I felt confused. My mouth tried to form words but nothing came out. "What?" I finally said Mrs. Cummings eyes gave me a quick look before picking on the next student. I shook my head lightly as I tried to shake the fuzziness away.
I dropped my pencil as I felt my hands began to shake. I could not think. My mind seemed to be blocked from all activity as I tried to look at the class. "Are you okay?" Somebody touched my shoulder and I jerked away. It hit me. "Low," I murmured, the words slide off my lips and came out in a mumble that nobody understood, I got up to walk away but as soon as I did I saw black in the corner of my eyes.
"Troy," I let out a whimper as I caught onto the desk for support but I missed. "Gabi darling are you okay?" I shook my head, "Troy," I let out quietly again. "Somebody go get Troy Bolton," somebody snapped but I tried to walk. The fuzziness and the blackness around my eyes only got worse.
"Gabi?" Mrs. Cummings was now in front of me. She touched my hand but I quickly pulled back for me to fall on my butt. I felt my head spin some more, I just wanted to close my eyes but I could react. I wanted to move but I could not, "Somebody get the nurse down here ASAP; tell her it's Gabi Montez." I wanted to cry but I felt those hands.
"Brie, what's wrong." Troy looked me in the eyes and I closed my eyes trying to think of the words I needed to process. "Low." I muttered.
"Shit," I heard him say off in the distant but I felt myself growing weaker. In a matter of seconds, I felt like I was flying. I laughed as my head bounced and the blackness around my eyes grew heavier. I held onto Troy and before I knew it, I had passed out.
I groaned softly as my head hurt. I tried to remember everything that happened but nothing came to my mind. "Gabs," I tried to sit up but it was not happening. Troy had gently pushed me back down to the table.
"What happened?" I coughed as I closed my eyes. The lights were bright and I felt tired. "You passed out. Your blood sugar was 25 what the hell were you thinking?" his voice rose and I shook my head, "shhh…" I told him as I held my head. He sighed as he looked up at the ceiling.
"Troy? What happened?" I opened one eye to see my dad rush into the room. "She passed out when we got to the nurses office. We used to Glucagon and she came around about fifteen minutes later."
"Gabriella Ann Montez." My dad said in his warning tone but at the moment I could care less. I had passed out due to a blood sugar low. I instantly felt scared as a tear trickled down my cheek. "I'm sorry," I cried as I sat up, Troy's eyes grew sympathy but my dads did not.
"Sorry? You could have seriously hurt yourself. Why the hell did you wait so long to tell somebody?" Troy slipped his arm over my waist and pulled me into his lap. He kissed my neck softly as he rubbed my shoulder. "I don't know, I didn't feel it and then I couldn't think." I rubbed at my eyes as I leaned back on Troy.
"I felt fine one second but the next everything started to happen. I couldn't answer a question, my head began to grow fuzzy and once I stood up all I could see was black before my vision cleared a little." Tears fell faster down my cheeks as I tried to explain everything that happened.
My dad let out a long sigh, "You should probably come home," my dad said as he pushed back some of my hair. "We will go find something more to eat." He said Troy reached over to the table sitting next to the bed. "Here," he handed me a thing of juice. "Drink up."
I quickly took down the juice as my dad signed me out of school. "I'll bring your backpack and stuff by afterschool okay?" his lips found my forehead in a quick kiss. "I love you," he whispered
"I love you too, thanks for being there for me."
"Please," he started, "Don't do it ever again. That scared the hell out of me." I giggled softly as I wrapped my arms around his neck. "Carry me." I whispered, "My legs feel weak." I lied
"Alright," he said, I smirked. Score one for diabetes.
"Eric!" I shouted as I saw him walk out of the elevator. I rushed up towards him to give him a big hug. "Hey!" he said squeezing me back, "How is everything? Damn has it already been a month?" he asked, I nodded in agreement.
"mhm,"
"Hey Eric," my mom said giving him a small wave. My dad gave a nod, "Is Carter here?" I asked with a pleading look, "mhm, ill send him your way." He said as he gave me one more hug. I waved goodbye as he disappeared behide the nurse's station. I grinned at my parents. They were both still upset about yesterday.
"Guys would you loosen up please? My blood sugar is fine." I said giving them an eye roll. My parents both shared a quick look and I then felt a tap on my shoulder. I squealed turning around knowing that it was Carter. "How you doing?" he asked as I buried my head into his shoulder. "Great," I pulled back from him to look at my two parents.
"Will you please tell them just because I had an episode yesterday that made me pass out now they keep making me check my blood sugar like it happens again." Carter narrowed his eyes towards me, "What?" he asked
"My blood must have dropped really fast because I didn't even feel it. My mind felt so blocked but anyways can you please tell them to stop worrying?"
Carter sighed, "You passed out yesterday?" he asked again. "Carter? Focus." I told him, "Fine, Mr. and Mrs. Montez Gabi here had an episode. They usually don't happen again for a few days or weeks but anyways no need to worry. They don't usually happen."
"Well we are going to go for our appointment." My dad said hooking arms with me, "See Carter, worry nellies won't even listen to you." I joked, my dad rolled his eyes. "Thank you Carter." Carter gave a slight smirk before giving one more hug. "See ya later kid." I followed my parents down the hallway towards the endo room.
I sat down on the edge of the chair as my dad went to sign me in. "Are you guys going to be like this all day?" I questioned, "Because if you are I don't know if I could stand an hour and half car trip with you."
"Gabriella." I glared at my mom, "why is it that I have do one little thing wrong and I am getting yelled at?" I asked her with a sharp tone, "Do not speak to me like that again young lady." I rolled my eyes as I look down at the ground. "I was worried sick about you when I got that text message from Troy. I was hoping you weren't dying!" her voice held that tone that said not to talk back to her.
"Mom, I was not dying. It was a low and I could not help it. This is new ground for me, I know it is new for you too but please, I am the one dealing with this. With one wrong move, my life could go in the wrong direction. I wish it was easy mom but my emotions are amazingly crazy right now."
My mom gave a sigh and she put her arm around me. "I know it's not easy. I am just concerned. It was the first time and I wasn't here."
"And you won't always be."
She gave me a quickly glance before looking at my dad who let a sigh fall from his mouth. "You are lucky that people know to get Troy."
"Nobody knows what wrong with me expect my teachers." I mumbled softly, my dad gave me another look. "I don't want people knowing!" I protested I crossed my arms over my chest as I leaned against the back of the chair.
I looked over the crowded field of people. The University of Missouri and Oklahoma University team were playing now. I hugged my arms to my chest, as it had been an awful long car ride. I was tired and I just wanted to find a hotel room.
"Look who it is!" I turned around to see Anthony standing behide me. "Hey," I told him as he slipped his arm around my waist. His eyes scanned the area and I knew he was looking for Troy. "He is not here." I murmured as I let a yawn slip though my mouth.
"Well anyways how was the trip down here?"
"Long." I told him, "Mom and dad would not shut up about how I should pay more attention to things and be a better student." I rolled my eyes. "Wait what happened?"
"Nothing just that I-" I could not exactly tell him because I would be yelled at to by him. The only one not yelling anymore is Troy. "Promise you won't get mad?" I asked as I looked around for my parents. "What happened?" I sighed as I looked out at the field.
"I passed out from a low blood sugar." I told him as I pursed my lips together, "And Troy was the only one there that knew what the hell to do." I said to him, Anthony did not say anything but he had a frown placed over his face. "Montez lets go!" somebody yelled. I looked out to see a group of college boys in baseball uniforms waiting for him. Once they caught my eye, they all had my attention.
"Whoa, who do we have here?" I looked at the back of the guys jersey, Johnson.
"It's my sister," Anthony snapped towards the guys, "And unfortunately she is currently not on the dating market." Anthony then left my side to join his team. "She is pretty damn gorgeous though." One of his teammate said, "Shut up," Anthony mumbled
I looked at him as he walked away. Maybe Troy coming up was a good idea. I held on my phone as I looked at the time. He was just getting ready to leave school. He had to go home pack and get ready. "Sweetie your dad wants to go ahead and get some seats." She said waving her cup of coffee towards me.
"Alright," I said as I picked up my bags and pushed through the crowd of people in front of me. I walked towards my parents and slipped into the seats next to them. "You know I'll stand once the game begins." My dad said as he pulled out his Evo. "I know dad," I told him.
I set my purse down by my feet before pulling out my book. I had to read it for class and I was three chapters behide from the whole class. I buried my nose into the book and did not look up until they were about to take the field. Anthony was warming up as I looked at the pink watch on my wrist.
Just a little after three that means Troy should be at least half way here. "Gabi shouldn't you check your blood sugar?" my dad asked as he spit into a cup. "Maybe," I said wrapping my arms around my body. "Let's go Anthony!" my dad called, I bent over into my purse to pull out the black case.
I pulled the strip out and put it into the pink meter. "We talked to Medtronic; we are thinking the pump is coming along." I nodded my head along while I poked my finger. The blood came along and I put it against the strip. The blood sucked off and I wiped it against my black case.
"Oh Gabi honey that is disgusting." My mom said perching her sunglasses on her face. "Oh Lord! I can not believe I am late!" I turned around to see Linda, Anthony mom, come down the stairs. "Hey Linda!" I said standing up to greet her in a huge hug.
My dad and her were both married for a little less than a year. They were both young with a baby so it was not the best but they got a long great now. "Hey Linda," my mom said with a smile, everybody got along. Everybody.
"How are you? I am sorry I could not come and see you in the hospital. My life has been so busy," she said giving a quick smile to us. She slid into the bleachers in front of us as Anthony stuck out the guy at home plate.
I clapped as I reached for my book again. I held up the book to my nose as I kept reading. "Gabi, what was your blood sugar?" my mom asked
"165," I told him as I look up from my spot in the book. My dad nodded his head, "Alright,"
It was the bottom of the second inning and they were winning by two. I clapped as Anthony gave a smile in our direction. I waved at him as he disappeared into the dugout. While Johnson was batting, I had shoved my book back into my bag. I was all caught up, finally.
I started clapping my hands as Johnson had hit the ball through the hole in the middle of the field. I then felt his hands slip over my eyes, "Guess who?" he whispered into my ear, I giggled as I turned in my seat to see his blue eyes blazing.
"Hi!" I said as I got up to wrap my arms around his neck. He kissed my lips quickly as my parents slipped us a look. I glared slightly at them as I pushed my lips back onto his. "Mmm…I needed you a long time ago." I murmured into his ear, "Really?" he said, I nodded as I buried my head into his chest. I sat on his lap while he ran his hand down my back.
"I love you," he whispered into my ear, I giggled softly as I looked out onto the field. They were still batting and I saw Johnson's eyes catch mine. I quickly turned away before he could even try to get to me. I held Troy closer to me as he kissed the top of my head.
"We should go for a walk," I whimpered into his ear, "How about we just stay here so I can hold you?"
"How about we just leave and go find the hotel."
"How about food?" I giggled and he leaned forward giving me another kiss. I lay back against him as he held me. "So how bad was it?"
"My parents won't relax Troy, it's like once it happens it happens all the damn time. I told Anthony and he has not spoken to me yet since then. Then you show up," I looked up into his eyes, "You are fine with it, you don't ask me about it. You just plain forget about it."
"That was the past. This is the future; we can't dwell on what happened yesterday." He put his chin on my shoulder while I darted my eyes towards my parents. "Would you please tell them that? They don't seem to understand such logic." Troy laughed as he let his fingers run through my hair.
"You're crazy," he whispered with a quick blow to my ear. "Oh really?" he nodded his head. "Come on lets see if we can get out of here. It doesn't look like your brother is pitching any longer."
"Good," I turned around in his lap as my lips attached to his. Our lips moved along in sync as I tried pulling back from him. "W-What are you doing?" he finally asked, I got up from his lap as I dragged his hand away.
"We will be back in a minute mom. I am going to buy water," I told my parents, as I was hunger for more. Troy and I walked along the path as Troy rubbed his finger on my palm. Once we were hidden behide the bathroom house our lips were once again connected to each other.
I smiled as my hand slipped up his shirt my hands massaging his sides. "Wow, you are really turning me on." He said with a quick smirk before his lips went up my cheek. "I think we should really go find a hotel." He murmured, "I don't think getting in trouble would be the best idea right now."
He laughed, "I just wish your parents would lie off."
I sighed as I let my head collapse against his chest. "I love you," I whispered, Troy's arms circled around me. "I love you too."
"You're the only one that understands me Troy,"
He did not say anything. He just pressed his lips against my forehead.
