By the end of it we are both grinning like idiots. That was so much fun. I can't believe I just did that. We hug and walk back tour table while everyone is cheering and clapping us.
"You guys that was amazing!" Chad shouts and the rest loudly agree and shout similar things.
"Gabriella you have such a good voice" Sharpay says
"What no…you have an incredible voice"
"No you seriously do Gabs" I hear troy agree as the rest of them nod in agreement.
"Really?"
"Really" they all smile at me. I can't help but grin back and for the first time all week I relax and just let myself feel happy.
Waking up the next morning, I have a huge grin on my face, and glance round the room to only laugh at the sight that greets me. Everyone is sprawled out on the sofas and he floor but are, in some way, lounging on each other. After slowly removing Taylors head from my legs, I make my way into the Kitchen. I see a note from her parents explain they've gone out for the day and they'll be back tonight. After turning the coffee machine on I just stare out the window.
"Why is it whenever I find you alone you're always daydreaming?" I spin around to see Troy leaning against the door frame smiling at me
"Well what else am I supposed to do when I'm alone?"
"Touche" he laughs and comes over. I pour us a coffee and we take it outside to sit on the big porch swing. We sit in comfortable silence for a few minutes, both of individually thinking about what to say.
"So are you sure we're ok Gabriella?" he turns to me slightly with concern in his eyes
"Yeah…and sorry again about being weird this week…it's just…never mind…."
"You can talk to me you know"
"I know it's just…it's hard….being away from home. And I know I wanted to get away from where it all happened but at the moment….I just…feel so distanced from everything. I feel like I've turned my back on our life together.."
"Do you want to go back?" When I don't answer straight away I see him look at me intently for answer
"Honestly?" I ask him
"Yeah.."
"I don't know….in some ways yes…that way I can see my family and his, and visit all our places…..you know….try and
make peace with it now that its been a while…"
"That makes sense, but do you think you will be able to?" he replies. I can't make out his tone, I feel like he's going to tell me not to bother going back
"I'm not sure…I guess I won't know until I go back…" He doesn't reply but just looks straight forward.
"Do you think you will?"
"Not yet…" He turns and smiles at me. I wish I knew what he was thinking right now.
"Really?"
"Yeah…I'm still not quite there yet…I think it would just be too hard to go back at the moment" He smiles at me and moves a little closer.
"And besides I've gotten too used to having you lot around me now…wouldn't know what to do without you all" He grins at me and when I think he's about to kiss me again we hear Sharpay's high pitched voice inside
"GABS…TROY…WHERE ARE YOU GUYS?" We just laugh before getting up and going inside.
"Hey Shar what's up?" Everyone is now making their way into the kitchen
"Oh hey…nothing I was just wondering where you two were?"
"Oh right ok" I walk over to refill my coffee and see Taylor getting frustrated that there's no milk left for her cereal
"Ok guys as much as I love you all, we have got to stop sleeping over here! We never have any food left!" everyone just looks at her with a guilty expression before carrying on eating, much to Taylor's dismay.
"Right well I'm going to nip home and get changed, Ryan you coming?" Sharpay grabs her bag and looks at her brother.
"Ermm yeah ok"
"And tay I'll see you there a 11?"
"yeah see you later"
"Whats happening later?" I question
"We're going shopping remember?"
"oh yeah…of course" I reply having totally forgotten and them both knowing it.
"Well anyways I'll see you girls soon. Later guys"
"Actually Shar can I have a lift ot he diner on your way? I lfet my car there? Chad asks
"Yeah of course, come on then" They all say bye, and Taylor goes upstairs to shower and get ready.
"Well I guess I better get going then?" Troy says after it has very quickly gone from a full room to just us two.
"Yeah I need to go get ready anyways" I walk him to the front door.
"So I'll see you later then?" he turns as he leaves the house.
"Yeah see you later" He smiles and hugs me. It lasts a little longer than a normal hug should and I get a fluttering feeling in my stomach. As he pulls away he kiss's me so softly on the lips I'm not sure whether it has actually happened.
"Bye gabs" and with that he's gone. I close the door and drift up stairs in a daze like way.
What is going on?
Sorry it's taken so long! Please review! :)
