Start Of Something New

Rooftop Confessions

Troy's POV

I purposely left the house before Chloe woke up this morning so she would have to come to school with my dad. She'll be mad but she'll get over it once she sees why I left without her. I had to get tickets for the dance and I wanted it to be a surprise for her. I don't dance but I will for Chloe. That's how much I love her.

I can't dance to save my life so she will be happy about this. She thinks that I don't want to go to the dance. The couldn't be more wrong, we never got to have a first dance at the wedding so this will count right? I hope it does.

I kept watch over the roof top for Chloe so I could call her. When I saw her I quickly pulled out my phone.

"I need your help right away."

"What?"

"Look up."

I waved for her to get her ass in this roof and I swear I never I saw run so fast in my entire life. I wish I had that in video so I could record that. Oh well there's always time for to get her to run.

"I really need your help."

"Why"

"Because I need your opinion on these."

"Why."

"Because you're going to have a pretty dress so I want to look right."

"Wait you actually want to go to the dance? You hate dancing."

"Well I will dance for you babe. But I've never been to a dance much less a prom. I was hoping these might be a good start. Don't you think we're going tonight have to waltz because I have no idea how to do that."

"All I know is that Chad thought and Ms.D taught when I was little. She'd have Chad waltz me around the living room. So she taught both me and Chad. Come here I'll show you."

Before we could go anywhere I looked over when I heard footsteps from behind me. Great just who I didn't want to see the new girl. She tried to grab my had but I pulled away from her.

"What do you want?"

"To be with you Troy."

"Not gonna happen. I'm married and I don't like you like that that. So go hug someone else. I don't nor have I ever had feelings for you. So do yourself a favor and stay away from both me and Chloe. I don't care what you say about Chloe there's nothing that you can say to make feel any different about her. I married her because I love her. I've known her for so many years. I trust Chloe more than I trust Chad. That's saying something because Chad is one of my closest friends. But Chloe is my wife and best friend. I don't want to know how my life would have turned out without her in it. My head would probably still be stuck on basketball 24/7. So don't you dare come up to me when all you have done since you stepped foot in this school is torment Chloe. You haven't even tried to be nice to her so why should I be nice to you. Now get the hell out of my sight. I can and will call Ms.D she told you loud and clear to stop trying to take me out of Chloe's life. You have no clue what Chloe has been through. I've been there to hold her while she cry's and is having a bad day. I've seen her in her worst moments. She's seen me in my worst moments. She knows all too well that I would rather die than be with someone else. So if you don't leave me and Chloe alone I will go down to the principal and tell them that you've been harassing Chloe. He knows Chloe just as well as I do so who do you think he'll believe you or her? This whole school adores Chloe and would do anything to protect her. The whole school will be on her side in matter of seconds. So if I were you I'd get the hell off this roof."

I turned around and walked over to Chloe and she pulled me in for a kiss. I didn't need to pull away from the kiss to know that Chloe flipped her off.

"Not gonna lie that was pretty hot there Troy. You should talk like that more often. But thank you for what said earlier. You didn't have to say all of that. But it means the world to me that you stood up for me like that."

"Why wouldn't I stand up for you like that babe? You're my wife and I will always defend you no matter what. I love you more than anything in this world Chloe. There's nothing that I wouldn't say or do for you. Nothing can change how I feel about you. I will always be by your side no matter what Chloe. I won't ever lead you for another girl. Because she can't even come close to how I feel about you. I will do anything for you Chloe and don't ever think that will change because it won't. Now I believe you were about to teach me how to dance for prom."

"Those dance lessons can wait because you are the best thing that's ever happened to me Troy. I can't imagine my life without you in it. I don't want to even think about what I would be doing right now if I didn't have you. You light my life. You helped me feel safe after all the hell that I've been through. I don't think that I want to go to prom anymore."

"What Chloe it's senior year, when am I going to have the chance to dance with you in front of all our friends? And when will you get to make Chad dance with you? Seriously just think about all the memories we would make. I want to have a dance with you at prom. I'm not going to force this on you but will you at least think about it. I mean I already have the tickets. Come on our first dance as a married couple. Don't you want that? I thought you loved to dance. What changed? No secrets remember? We promised no more secrets on our wedding day."

"Something happened on the honeymoon. I didn't want to talk about it so I hid the clothes and got in the shower. I was going down to the lobby to get something to drink and the next thing I know I'm on the floor outside someone's hotel room. I didn't want to think that it happened. I was in denial about it for the rest of the honeymoon. I don't even know how I managed to get back to our room but I did. I don't even remember most of the night. But all I know is that my clothes were ripped and there were bruises the next morning. I had to cover those with my makeup. I don't even know who did it. I don't even remember what I had to drink that night. If I had never gone down stairs it never would have happened and I wouldn't be telling you this. But it happened all because I didn't think to get something to drink in the damn room."

"So thats why you were on the couch when I woke up the next morning. Look I'm not mad that it happened I just wish that you would have told me. I would have packed up our bags and we could have gone home early. I wouldn't have made you stay there either. Chloe why didn't you tell me? We could have handled it together. You could have shown me the way to the room that you woke up outside of. I could have called the cops and that guy would be behind bars. But I know it's not your fault. There's no way you could have known that would happen to you."

"Look I know that the lawyer for that guy would have blamed it on what I was wearing. That's the way it always happens Troy. I would know because that's what happened in my parents trial. They always try and put the blame on the victim. Because the lawyer doesn't want to believe it to be true. But deep down they know it's true but they're getting paid to do their job whether they like it or not. It just life Troy, people are cruel and heartless."
