Chapter 19: How Could I Forget?
"When you love someone, you would do the hardest thing. And yes, it's not going to be easy, but at least you know that what you felt was real."
Alodia arrived at Troy's house. She saw him in the living room so she made her way to her fiancée.
"Troy! It's late, why are you still up?" Alodia asked taking a seat beside him.
"I'm waiting for you Alodia." Troy said. He seems serious.
"That's so sweet of you! Thank you for waiting." She said and kissed his cheek.
After Sharpay left, Troy quickly scanned their East High yearbook. He saw Alodia Samson and realized that it was indeed Alodia, his Alodia.
"Alodia, I think we need to talk."
Alodia froze. This must be bad. "Sure. What do we need to talk about?"
"I've been thinking about your life actually. I don't know much about you. Where did you grow up? Did you go to school? I want to know something personal about you."
Alodia sighed. She though that his memories are coming back. "Well, I grew up in New York. That's where my family and relatives live. I graduated elementary in New York. Then we moved in California, that's where I graduated middle and high school. My parents need to go back in NY but I insisted on staying here. I dreamed to live here so they bought me an apartment. I graduated college here in Albuquerque."
"That's so brave of you to become independent. Do you want to know anything about me?" Troy asked.
"I think I know all about you already Troy! Isn't that great?" Alodia giggled.
"Don't you want to know where I met the Wildcats? You know that they are very important to me, right?"
"Of course I do! I already know that you met them at East High School."
"How did you know that?" Troy asked.
"You see I told you so. There's lot of things I know!"
"Seriously Alodia, how did you know that? I don't remember telling you that I met them at East High."
Alodia froze again. No one actually told her about East High. "I heard Chad talking about their embarrassing moments at East High last week." She actually heard them talking about it but they never mentioned the name of the school.
"May I also know your surname Alodia?"
"Samson, I'm Alodia Samson. Is it weird that we're together for one year now and still you don't know my full name?" Alodia laughed.
"I believe I read that name here." Troy said, holding the East High yearbook.
Troy continued, "I believe that you graduated at East High, Alodia."
Alodia went pale. "Where did that come from?"
"This is Sharpay's year book. She told me this will help me remember the things I want to remember."
"She went here?" Alodia yelled.
"I invited her Alodia. I wanted to know everything. I wanted to know the truth!" Troy yelled.
Meanwhile, Sharpay told the Wildcats everything about Alodia. They were all in the van with Chad driving. They insisted to visit Troy after Sharpay's story even though it's late already.
"I can't believe I did not recognize her! She used to be my Biology seatmate." Gabriella groaned.
"She was also my seatmate in English!" Jason said.
"She's good for tricking us. I don't know why she admitted that to you Sharpay." Taylor said.
"Maybe she just wants to tell me that she'll win this game. She did not realize that I have you guys." Sharpay said.
They arrived at Troy's house. They were about to knock when they heard shouts coming inside so they opened the door and saw Alodia and Troy arguing.
Alodia and Troy stop when they heard the door opened.
"What the hell are you doing here? GET OUT!" Alodia yelled.
"You do not have the rights to tell them to leave Alodia. They are my friends." Troy said.
Taylor quickly grabs Alodia's hair. "You tricked us! It's time for our payback. You don't want to mess with us."
Kelsi started to join Taylor. Jayson, Zeke and Chad fetch the police they saw outside while on their way there.
Sharpay stared for a moment. She shouted, "STOP!"
There was silence. Alodia's sobs can be the only noise they can hear. Troy's too shocked to move.
"I'm sorry Sharpay. I'm sorry Troy. Please forgive me guys." Alodia pleaded.
Sharpay started to cry and break down. Ryan and Gabriella hugged her.
"I should have kept quiet. I messed up everything again." Sharpay said.
Troy felt the urge to hug her so he quickly bent down. Ryan and Gabriella let Troy hug her.
"It's okay Shar. I told you it's not your fault." Troy said.
Sharpay cried harder but she hugged Troy in return.
Troy felt something and became dizzy. This is familiar, he and Sharpay. Then in just a minute all the memories came rushing back in his mind; the way he held Sharpay when she cried when he told her his mistake, the way she cried that night of his accident. He remembers everything now.
Sharpay stopped crying when she realized that Troy's not feeling well. "What's wrong Troy?"
"Sharpay, I remember everything now." Troy said.
Alodia heard this. She stood and run in the kitchen. She grabbed the knife and return in the living room.
"Don't call the police, I'll hurt you." She grabbed Kelsi and walked upstairs.
When she returned downstairs, she's holding a gun, pointing it at Kelsi.
"If you don't want this girl to die then you two should come with me." Alodia said motioning to Troy and Sharpay.
"We're coming with you. Just let Kelsi go." Sharpay said nervously.
Alodia let Kelsi go and grabbed Sharpay. She turned to Troy and said, "Go inside the van."
Once the three of them were inside the van, she tied Sharpay's hands together. Then she also tied Troy's hands. She went in the front sit and started to drive.
One more chapter! I can't believe that I could actually finish this story! Tell me what you think!
