Chapter 7: This Is Just The Beginning
Troy's POV
I woke this morning to smell the breakfast my mom was making. I got up and went downstairs to eat. When I got down there I saw my mom setting my plate up and I couldn't see my dad anywhere in the kitchen. My mom looked up and smiled at me. "Hey honey! How'd you sleep?" She asked me. "Not well. I kept having nightmares…" I responded and ate some of my food. She frowned at this and I knew what she was going to ask. "Are they THE nightmares?..." She asked fearfully. "No mom. I thought we were never going to talk about this. I'm fine now I don't need counseling anymore." She looked at me. "I know Troy, but sometimes I can't help, but worry…" She said. I finished my breakfast. "I'll be fine mom…" I kissed her cheek and went upstairs to get ready for school.
When I got to school I went straight to my locker and then to my homeroom. I walked in to see that Gabriella was in her usual seat talking to Taylor and Kelsi. I wanted to say something to her, but Sharpay decided to get in my way. "So Troy…You didn't answer my calls last night or my texts…Were you a little busy…" She ran her finger down my chest. I wanted yell and run away from her, but I didn't want to be a dick. "Hey! Get your hands off my man, Sharpay!" I heard Gabriella say. Sharpay turned around and smirked. "And who's going to stop me Montez. You and your little friends. Ha! I'm the most popular girl in school and you can't touch me." Sharpay said. Gabriella knew that, but she decided to play it smart. "No you're right I can't touch you, but who said I need to physically touch you to make you stay away from Troy. You have to remember this Sharpay. I may not be as popular as you, but I am smarter and smarter always wins. I've got the brains and you've got the looks. Who's going to go farther in this game…" Gabriella said while smiling that cocky smile she rarely ever wears.
Sharpay huffed and went back to her seat. I smiled at Gabriella and she smiled back. The bell rung and Ms. Darbus came in and started talking about the fine arts.
When the class was over I got up and went to escort Gabriella to class and then I went to the gym for practice. We were running suicides when I heard the gym doors open. I looked up to see Gabriella coming towards with a look of anger. "You asshole! How could you!" She went to hit me. I grabbed her arms before she could hit me. "What did I do?!" I said. "Don't play dumb! You cheating asshole!" She screamed. "I don't know what you're talking about?!" I yelled. "You slept with Jennifer last night! I saw the pictures! I thought I actually meant something to you!" she said. My eyes widened. "I haven't has sex with anyone since we've been together!" I said. "You are such a liar! We're done! I don't ever want to talk to you again!" She yelled as she ran out crying. "Gabriella! Wait!" I cried out as I was about to go after her. Some held me back though. I turned to see my dad and Chad holding me back.
When school was over I didn't see Gabriella. I sighed and went home. When I got home I went straight to my room and locked my door. I thought about what she said. I yelled really loud and started throwing things in my room and ripping things apart and breaking things. By the time I stopped venting my room looked like a tornado went through it. I heard my door unlock and open. I saw my family come in and look at my room. My fists were bloody and bruised. "Troy what did you do to your room!" My mom said. I just shrugged and kept mumbling under my breath. She was gone. She left me. Gabriella was done with me. I love her. Only her. I'm empty now. I have no reason to go on anymore. I broke down sobbing. She was gone and I couldn't have her back. I screamed in pain because that's what I felt in my heart. I'm not overreacting I really did hurt in my heart. It was shattered and I didn't know if it could be fixed….
