Later That Day…
The Arrive Home
8:30 a.m.

"What if I wear a button down shirt with dress pants and a pair of heels?"

"God, Tay what he is wrong with you? We're trying to go for a class party girl, not a conservative wife of a politician. Geez…"

"Well then what do you suppose I wear Gabriella?"

"Did you forget you have a hot pair of Jimmy Choos in the back of the closet? You could wear those with your halter back fire engine red dress."

"The same dress you borrowed from me two months ago?"

She stuck her head out the closet, smiling, "I love you."

I laughed, "Sure you do."

"Here they are," she gave me a shoe box.

I smiled, "These are my babies…I love them."

The sacred pair of shoes I was referring to was a pair of 3 inch ankle high, leopard, diamond studded heels. More than half of my third pay check from the bar went to these shoes. They were $361.24 and worth every cent of it. I'm a shopaholic, so what?

"Forget it, I'll wear the turquoise mini with the peach clutch."

"You are so dramatic."

"This comes from the girl who just spent nearly two hundred dollars on a lingerie set-"she covered my mouth.

"Okay, you're right! Damn I don't think the whole of New Mexico needed to know that."

"Well since you're so defensive, what exactly are you wearing?"

I am wearing a dark blue dress. You know the one that hugs my hips with a pair of black heels."

"That one with the flare, and the diamond belt?"

"Yeah the one with the sweet heart cut on the top."

"Wear that with the round toe zebra print heels."

"That is a cute combination."

"Duh," I smiled. "What about your hair?"

"I am flattening it. How are you doing yours?"

"It really doesn't matter."

It's for Aubrey so it should matter."

"I'm supposed to care?"

"Yes, It's been 5 years since you've had a date-"I interrupted.

"You mean it's been 5 years since I've had a date with a guy I actually like."

She smiled, "So you do like him."

"Yes and no…kinda…maybe-look I don't know."

"Sure…"

"Like the rest of my dates, the only thing Aubrey will be working on is sleeping with me."

Zeke raised his eyebrows at the statement. "That is not true Taylor."

"Shut up Baylor."

Gabriella laughed, "Aubrey doesn't like that type though."

"Yeah neither did David, Sean, Miguel, Elijah, or Anthony."

"David-what was wrong with him?"

"David was gay Gabriella."

"What about Sean?"

"Sean was a player. I don't do players."

"What is there to say about Miguel or Elijah?"

"Are you serious? Miguel had too much baby mama drama and with Elijah the relationship was going nowhere."

"What about Anthony?"

"He was engaged. I was the side chick for 3 months."

Gabriella raised an eyebrow, "That made sense."

Zeke leaned back in his chair, "It takes a dick like that to make the rest of us good guys look bad."

Gabriella smiled, "As the one and only Aaliyah said, you love is like one in a million Baylor."

I cleared my throat, "What is today's date?"

"Today's the 16th. Why?

"I'll be back in like 2 hours."

"Where ya going?"

"I'll be back in a few. In the meanwhile don't kill each other…please."

"I'll only do that if she shuts up."

"Go get attacked by a wild raccoon."

"Gabriella Maria Montez."

She sighed, "Fine."

"Ha!"

"Ezekiel Chris-", he interrupted.

"Okay!"

I smirked, closing the door. "I love the both of you and behave.:."

Today is February 16th and yet I forget to do this. I must really be too preoccupied to forget that I promised that I'd help her with the redecoration of the house today. I felt for them on the kitchen counter. I turned around and started towards the house.

It really has been a minute since I've actually stepped foot into the Bolton household. I mean I have gone into the house numerous times after…you know, but I always feel uncomfortable if I spend more than a few hours there. I opened the door to see Gabriella and Zeke covered in flour, laughing hysterically.

"What did I miss?"

She smiled, "I offered to help Zeke with his homework. We're making a triple layer strawberry and pineapple upside down cake."

"I guess things just get a little out of hand, while we were waiting for Maury to come on," Zeke said, picking up the rag on the counter.

"Okay."

"Aren't you going out?"

"I am I just forgot my keys," I picked them off the counter.

Gabriella raised an eyebrow, "Where exactly is your Blackberry?"

"I have it."

"Check again. Look behind you on the coffee table. Elouise and Sharpay just texted you. They wanna know where you are. Shar asked for you to bring her a shirt."\

I picked up my phone, "You read my messages?"

She shrugged, "Obviously. Is there a problem?"

"Nothing Gabi, I have no point at the moment."

I ran upstairs into my room and grabbed the first t-shirt to the top of my drawer. I had my keys…phone and wallet. I reached for the knob of the front dfoor when my phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Where the hell are you McKessie?"

I rolled my eyes, 'hello to you too Sharpay."

"Where are you?"

"I had to turn back to get you a shirt so relax."

A voice sounded in the background, "Watch how ya talking to my sister Evans."

I giggled, "Tell Tracey I said hi."

"Who you yellin' at Tracey? Hold my phone Elouise! Tracey Andre McKessie come back here!"

Another voice sounded on the phone, "Hello?"

"Hi Elouise."

I could almost hear her smile. "Where are you?"

"I'm on my way El."

"Well hurry up please. Sharpay is annoying be-but don't tell her I said that."

Outside….

I glanced at the time my watch displayed. It was 9 o'clock. I groaned. 9 o'clock meant I'd have to hear 9 long lectures from Sharpay. God, I hated having to face the wrath of an Evans.

My phone rang again for the second time in 10 minutes. Clicking on the Bluetooth I forced a cheerful greeting from my mouth, "Hello?"

"Hey Tay!"

"Chad if you're calling to harass me about coming over-" he cut me off.

"Ergh actually not, I was just calling to ask you to run an errand for me."

"Oh…sure."

"How far away are you?"

"I just pulled out the driveway. What's up?"

"Can you stop by Smith's to pick up three cans of paint for Andrew? The colors are grey, royal blue, and uh…pastel green."

"Isn't that between New Jersey Ave, and South Side Square?"

"No", he chuckled. "Color Splash is between New Jersey and Canal Street."

I sighed, stopping at a red light. "So where the hell is Smith's?"

"Smith's is on Vermont between Bob Marley Boulevard and Rose Street."

"So why does Andrew want the paint from Smith's if Splash is closer to the house?"

"I don't know. He babbled about Jack saying it was his favorite store as a child and some nonsense."

"Splash paint can are fifty a piece unlike Smith's that are like ninety. Tell Jack that he is a grown man and can afford to go to a different shop just this one time. If there is a problem then he is welcome to call me."

"I'll be sure to deliver the message Taylor."

"You need anything? I'm turning onto Mayberry Ave now."

"Well since you asked, I mean you could buy a pizza on ya way here because I am starving, oh and maybe some chocolate….and some milk."

"Goodbye Chad."

"Wait Tay I'm not done-" I cut him off.

"Goodbye Chad." Clicking off the Bluetooth, I couldn't help but laugh quietly to myself. Then I'd realized that perhaps that was the only sound in this whole car to keep me from going insane. There was just so much damned silence.
Silence was sometimes the most deafening thing on Earth. You reach the level of insanity after the fact that you've gone through every thought and aspect of your mind and then every detail. Every … agonizing detail examined…and then re-examined. I often found myself drifting further and further into insanity.

I turned into the parking lot of Color Splash, easing onto the curb. Then I thought of something. Was it fate that I was meant to restart my life so early?

Stepping out the car, I felt something hit the back of my leg.

"Raymond Chandler Benson get back here little boy!"

I glanced down to see two big brown eyes staring back at me. It was a toddler no more than 2 years old I'd say. He clutched onto his teddy bear protectively, staring at me expectantly. A pregnant woman waddled over, "Raymond what did I tell you about wandering off? You got mommy scared." She glanced at me, smiling, "Taylor McKessie?"

I raised an eyebrow, "Sahara…Sahara Waters?"

Not exactly my best work but eh. Please R&R ! -Jai
