An insurmountable amount of things ran through my head. What the hell is going on? Why am I even on the school's Instagram page? I felt like I was in an episode of Gossip Girl. The only difference is that I don't understand why my life was suddenly so interesting to actually post about me on social media.
'Maybe because you fucked two guys around the same time and one of them is the school's golden boy' said that stupid voice in my head that I wish I could kill.
'Shut up' I screamed internally. 'Just shut the hell up.' I honestly need to see a psychiatrist. I'm having a one-sided argument with myself. It does not get worse than that.
I started pacing around my room running my fingers through my hair thanking whatever deity there is out there for the fact that my family wasn't home because I'm pretty sure they'd have me admitted.
The shrill of my phone ringing caused me to jump. "Hello?" I answered breathlessly without looking at the caller I.D.
"Gabby?" Hunter's soft voice filled the other line.
"Yes?"
"Are you ok? You sound off."
"Fine. Just read something disturbing."
"Oh yeah. What?"
"Were you on Instagram at all today?"
"No. Why?"
"Ummm…Some people were posting stupid stuff but never mind. Can you come over? My family went to Subway and I really need to talk to you."
"Is it bad?"
"Yes…so come on over….please."
"On my way."
"Great. Make sure you come through the back."
"I know the drill." He then hung up.
For the next 10 minutes that it took Hunter to come over to my house, I was weighing my options. I could tell him the truth, break his heart, and have him abhor me for the rest of our lives or I could just tell him about my family and I moving to another state and he never has to know. I chose the latter rather than the former.
A knock on my balcony door let me know that my visitor had arrived. I got up from the mini sofa on which I was sitting to let him in.
"Hey" he said as he tried to capture my lips in a kiss. I turned away and he ended up kissing my cheek instead. "Is something the matter?"
"Sit down Hunt" I said softly.
"Gab you're making me anxious. Babe what's the matter?"
"Hunter. Sit down" I said a bit more strenuously than I intended.
He took a seat on my bed and looked at me with those big brown eyes that never failed to have my heart skip a beat or two.
"Gabriella…what's going on?"
'It's not your baby.' The words were right on my tongue and if I did not hesitate, I probably would have said them. But me being me said "We're moving. My family and I. We're leaving to Georgia."
I watched his face carefully and I did not miss the pain that his face writhed into. And my heart broke in two. I can't believe I'm doing this to him. "I'm so sorry Hunt."
"But why?" he said softly.
"My dad said it was necessary for our family. That's all."
"Do they know about the baby?"
"Yes."
He sighed and ran his hands through his hair. "What are we gonna do Gabs?"
"I wish I knew." And I really wish I did. I wish I knew a way where I could stay with him. I wish that I knew a way that I could magically make this baby his. He's a great guy. An amazing one. And he'd be a great dad.
But who are we kidding? We're juniors and seniors in high school. It's too much responsibility. And even if I did miraculously find a way to stay in New Mexico; it's not his child. He shouldn't be taking this responsibility. It's not his to take.
"I'm sorry Hunt. I really am." I went to hug him when I heard the front door open. "That's my family. Did you park in my driveway?"
"Of course not." He said shaking his head.
"Good. You have to leave. I don't think they're your biggest fan at this moment" Slight lie.
"Ok" he said turning towards my balcony. "And Gabby…we'll figure this out. I love you ok?"
"I know." I said and he leaned down and this time I let him kiss me. I hugged him briefly and slightly pushed him towards the balcony door. "You have to leave." And that's what he did. Leaving me alone in my room.
'Ok? Seriously? He said he loved you and you said ok? Girl please.' Said that ugly stupid voice.
'Fuck you ok? Fuck. You.' I once again screamed internally.
"Was someone here?" Javier asked opening my door without knocking.
"Have you ever heard of knocking?" was my response.
He dramatically closed the door, knocked twice, did not wait for me to answer and said "Whose voice did I hear while entering the house?"
"Wow bro, 'while entering the house?' You better be careful or one might think you can articulate." I said sarcastically.
"Gabriella stop being evasive."
Once again, I resort to teasing him. "Evasive…incredibly impressive."
"Fine. I'm calling Daniel. Daniel!" He shouted.
"What?" I heard another shout from downstairs.
"Come here." Said Javier
Daniel trotted up to my room with a bag in his hands and handed it to me. "What's going on?" he asked his twin.
"When we arrived here, did you not hear Gabriella having a conversation?"
"Yeah. So?"
"So? Who and where is said person?"
"What makes you think she wasn't on the phone?"
"Yeah…what makes you think I wasn't on the phone?" I spoke for the first time since Daniel walked in the room.
"Why so defensive?" pointed out Javier
"What's your problem?"
"You're my problem."
"Excuse me?"
"Ok, ok you three break it up." Said my mother. Javier glared at me and left the room with Daniel following behind. I was going to say something to my mother but stopped when I saw the look on her face. She was still unhappy with me which made sense. I only told her that she was going to be a grandmother a few hours ago.
'More like found out.' Said my own personal demon voice.
I bit the inside of my mouth to keep from screaming. My mother gave me one last look before she left my bedroom. I looked at the sandwich given to me by my brother and ate my dinner for the night. Then I brushed my teeth and went to bed.
Here is Chapter 4. Special thank you to my amazing beta A1294 for editing and delivering this so fast. She's amazing you guys, and she does not disappoint. I want an honest opinion based on what you guys have read. I tried to get as much detail as I can so the story would seem a bit more realistic. Tell me: Do you like Hunter, how about Gabriella's family. I personally love Javier. I'm sorry there were no Troy interaction in this chapter. I wanted to focus more on Gabriella's personal life. I will try to write him in next time.
Oh and I've been thinking of writing something from different fandoms, I have been an avid pretty little liars and Victorious fan since they came out. Should I try? tell me what you think.
Again I hope you enjoyed it and thanks for reading. Pls review, it makes me smile.
