The Guy Next Door

Chapter 28

The next day…

Gabriella's POV

I went over to Taylor's the next day and let her know about my phone call from Ryan and asked her if she could help me find a dress. She was all too excited to help.

"Oh my god, yes I would love to help you Gabs! We'll find you the perfect dress!" She said excitedly. I couldn't help but laugh.

"So when is his prom?" Tay asked me. I thought back to my conversation with Ryan the night before.

"A month he said, so we still have time to look for a dress I'm sure." I said casually. I was excited, don't get me wrong, but at the same time everything that was going on with Troy at the moment just seemed to put a dent in my mood on a daily basis. I still couldn't believe how much he had overreacted on the day I broke up with him. All I wanted to do was talk and let him know how I felt to see if we could maybe work on bettering our relationship together…but he was having none of it. I sighed.

I was removed from my thoughts by a nudge to my arm.

"What is wrong Gabs? Aren't you excited?" I looked over at my friend and gave her a small smile.

"Of course I am but I just…" I couldn't finish, but there was no need as she did it for me.

"Have a lot on your mind because of the situation with troy?" I laughed, but not in a pleasant way.

"There is no 'situation' with Troy. It's over between him and I Tay. That's it, that's all there is to it." She sighed at me as she put a hand on my shoulder.

"You know what I meant Gabs. It hasn't been long since it all happened, and I know damn well you're hurting over it, as you should, you have every right too. I know how much you liked him and how much you cared for him. I also know he visited you at your house yesterday, that couldn't have been easy either." I closed my eyes as I started tearing up from listening to her. She sensed my emotions and pulled me into a hug as she gently ran her hand down my hair and tried to calm me down.

"I just don't know what to do Tay…it hurts so much, like I can't even explain how much it hurts. Things had been going so well with us until Sharpay suddenly changed and started acting all nice and apologized to Troy. It even sounded sincere and then the two start hanging out all the time and we drifted apart. I try to get answers and he gets pissed off at me and so very defensive of her. I break up with him and he goes over to her house that same day and has sex with her and then I find out they're back together. It all makes no sense. How could he cheat on me? Was he just using me to make Sharpay jealous enough to actually apologize so the two of them could get back together? I just don't understand it all. She cheated on him, and the night they fought when I went over to his house he said she had been flirting with his cousin and that she flirted with other guys all the time. Why would you go back to that?" I cried harder as my mind exploded with a million thoughts.

"Shh…shh baby girl it is okay, it will all be okay I promise you. I can't give you the answers you want and there probably isn't any way to get them but just know if he did that to you then maybe he isn't the guy you thought he was. He doesn't deserve you; you're too good for him. The pain will pass in time, I promise, and Chad and I will be here the whole time. Plus you have Ryan to call or Skype, and you'll be seeing him in a month's time. We're all here for you honey." Tay hugged me tighter and I hugged her back.

She was right of course. I probably wouldn't get the answers I wanted, and he didn't deserve me if he was going to do something like that to me. I had my friends who all cared about me and would do their best to help me and make me feel better. With them by my side, I was sure I could get through this.

Troy's POV

Sharpay moaned beneath me as I moved inside her. She felt so good on my dick, so slick, so lovely.

"Fuck, your pussy feels so great Shar." I groaned as she moaned louder which turned me on even more.

"Well it's all yours Troy…all yours…my pussy, my breasts, my whole body, it's all yours. You do what you want to it." I moaned at her words as I felt my dick grow bigger inside her.

"Damn right it is…all mine…I'm going to fuck you so hard that you won't be able to walk tomorrow, this pussy of yours will be too sore." I murmured as I started pounding her harder and harder, my breathing growing more rapid by the second. Her body convulsed beneath me and she yelled my name which drove me even wilder. I kissed her hard as I fucked her even harder, slamming into her with every thrust. But right in the middle of it all, out of nowhere, Gabriella came to my mind and that ache I hadn't been able to get rid of since she broke up with me, made itself known, more than it ever had. I started to slow down as she started to consume my thoughts. It made me frustrated, I was so close to finishing, so close, I couldn't let it stop me now, it felt too good and I wanted release. So I shoved the thoughts aside and got back into my task at full force. As I reached my climax I moaned real loud and exploded into the condom with cum. Sharpay hadn't wanted to use one but I refused to have sex with her without one.

"YES! OH FUCK YES!" I kept pounding her hard until I started to come to a finish and then I slowed down until I eventually stopped all together. I got off of Sharpay and lay on the bed beside her, as I tried to catch my breath. The thoughts of Gabriella returned and were much stronger than before. It was too much for me to handle. I quickly got out of the bed and started getting dressed.

"Troy? Troy what are you doing? You don't have to get dressed yet, come back to bed, come lay with me some more." Sharpay said. I closed my eyes, shaking my head to myself. I had to leave; I had to get out of there.

"I can't…I'm sorry I can't. I have to go." When I finished dressing I grabbed my keys and quickly left her house, driving, with no particular place in mind, just driving, escaping. An hour later I ended up at a familiar place. It was the secluded little beach I had taken Gabriella too on our first date, the date of which I officially made her my girlfriend. As I got out of my car I went over by the waterfall and looked at it. Tears started to well up in my eyes as all the memories flooded back to me. It became too much and I fell to my knees in front of it. At that point I completely lost it and broke down. I balled my eyes out and my chest had an uncomfortable, horrible pain in it. It felt like I was dying and in that moment I would have welcomed it.

"What I have I done?" I asked no one but myself.

"I've gone and screwed everything up. Why couldn't I have just listened to her? Why did I blow up on her in the way I did? Better yet, why did I even allow myself to become friends with Sharpay again? Why did I allow myself to fall for that lust?" I cried even harder.

"Gabriella is the most amazing woman I have ever met, and now I've lost her. What is wrong with me?"
