Hey hope you like it although I was practically falling asleep while writing so sorry if it sucks! Please Review! x
"Ok now can we make a truce?"
"I don't know the last time you said that I got pulled headfirst into the lake" he grinned cheekily back at me.
"I promise"
"Ok I promise too" and although it was just us agreeing to a truce it felt like we were promising something much more than that.
"Morning everyone!" Taylor shouted cheerily. We all just groaned and covered our eyes as she ripped the curtains open, well apart from Gabriella she sat up. We were all currently sprawled out in various places around Taylor's living room. We were all so knackered by the time we got back last night that we pretty much just slept where we fell.
"Tay how can you be so chirpy this early….seriously what is wrong with you?" Ryan groaned and covered his face with a cushion.
"Well it is 9" Gabriella's soft voice spoke up for her friend.
"Exactly 9am on a Sunday! It's unnatural"
"Please compared to what she was like when we were younger this is a lie in"
"I am here you know!"
"Sorry Tay…you know I love you though" Gabby gave her, her best cheesy grin and Taylor just laughed at her old friend. I love it when she smiles, makes me happy to know that she can be happy.
"Well seen as I'm up, I may as well get up" I rolled off the sofa and made my way to the bathroom. As I'm yawning coming out I collide into something, or someone in fact. I look down to see I've crashed into and caught Gabriella.
"I'm so sorry are you ok?"
"Yeah I'm fine"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes troy I'm fine +honestly; I think it was my fault anyways. I was…."
"Daydreaming?" I finish for her. She just smiles up at me.
"Something like that" And then she just walks straight past me and goes to her room. She glances back as she goes through the door and winks at me. Wait! Did she just wink at me? Did that just happen or am I seeing things? Argh I have no idea anymore. What is the matter with me today? Seriously I've only been awake 5 minutes and she is the only thing I've thought about. I just want to walk straight up to her and kiss her so passionately that she will forget anything that has ever happened to her. But obviously I can't. Oh my god I need to get a grip and get out of my head.
Did I just wink at Troy? I think I may have done. What the hell was that about? What is going on with me today? It's ever since yesterday in the lake, I've looked at troy differently, I don't know how I just have. And I'm so confused because he is one of my best friends now.
I have a quick shower and get changed before heading back downstairs. I see that Ryan, Chad, Sharpay and Troy have gone back to sleep in the living room so I head to the kitchen to find Taylor making a pot of coffee.
"Want a cup?" she asks
"Ooh yes please" I sit at the breakfast bar and she finishes the coffee and comes and joins me.
"So then..." She just looks at me.
"I don't know" I know exactly what she's talking about without her having to say it, that's what you get when you've known each other as long as we have. We have silent conversations all the time.
"Well what happened? It looked like you guys were pretty close to me when we came over"
"I know but nothing happened!"
"I know it didn't but sweetie would it be so terrible if it did?"
"What about Josh?" she just looked at me but didn't say anything. I know what she's thinking. It's been 6 months and Josh isn't around anymore.
"It's only been 6 months Taylor" I whisper. And for a while we neither of us says anything.
"Just remember what you promised" and with that she got up and started making breakfast and tidying up the kitchen. What promise? I'm so confused.
She's talking about a promise made between me and josh so I can't ask her because that will make me look like a bad person, a bad girlfriend for not remembering a promise that was made in my relationship that Taylor remembers and I don't. I am a bad person, why can I not think what it is. Everyone slowly comes in to smell of breakfast and we move to sit around the table, as they all start to chat away I just sit there thinking. We had so many promises. We promised to spend the rest of our lives together, to have children, to follow our dreams, to be happy together. But it can't be any of them because Taylor wants me to be able to move on. As we all eat breakfast I sit in my own little world and think about what it could be.
"Oh..." I drop my spoon as it suddenly hits me, of course, how could I forget. I run out of the kitchen and outside, sitting down against a tree at the bottom of the garden.
'Promise me that you'll move on and find someone else to be happy and live your life with', the one thing Josh made me promise right before he died.
