Broken Chapter 7: How it Really Began

Flashback.....
Graduation was slowly approaching and I still haven't had the courage to tell him. I was now three months into my pregnancy and I was thankful because even though I had a small bump, I was wearing flowy dresses and shirts so it was barely noticeable. Some pants I can still fit in however, leggings and skirts was a little more comfortable.
I got an earlier orientation letter informing all honor all students that they had to be at Stanford University for the orientation and to pick up our schedules. Due to my mom's company always moving, her next location would be in SanFrancisco. The good thing was that SanFrancisco and Stanford was close to each other. A 45min drive to be exact. Troy and I are planning to find a place somewhere in the middle from both schools so we could have equal travelling distance. Orientation day was in one week and Troy was planning to come with me and my mom so we can look at apartments together. We have already looked at apartments online and we did pick our top 3 but we need to look at them in person to make our final decision.

I was reading a magazine on Troy's bed while he played with his XBox with Chad, Zeke, and Jason on online.
"RUN!!! Dude! Pick up the paste!", he yelled through his mic piece.
I rolled my eyes cause they have been at this for 3 hours now.
"Damn it! MOVE IT ZEKE!!", he yelled.
"Don't you guys have more important things to do?", I asked.
"Shit!!! Jason GO!!!!", he yelled.
"Well thanks for ignoring me...", I said in annoyance.
"Sorry babe what was that?", he asked while his eyes were locked on the tv screen.
"Pause that!", I said nearly yelling.
"One sec..... YESSSS!!! WHAT UP?!!! Who won!", he yelled.
"TROY!!!!!", I called pissed.
"Sorry guys I got to go Gabi is calling me!", he stated before exiting the game.
"Sorry, I was playing an intense game", he replied.
"I can see that", I said.
"What is so important that you made me stop my game?", he asked.
"Don't you have something better to do?", I asked him.
"It's a Saturday, what more do I have to do?", he asked back.
"I don't know start packing maybe. We leave in a few days", I replied back.
"Yea about that...", he stated while scratching his head.

I sat up quickly because that did not sound good at all.

"Okay what are you not telling me?", I said trying not to get pissed.
"I am not coming anymore", he said.
"What?! Why not? We were suppose to be looking at the apartments", I stated in annoyed.
"I know but I have some things I have to get sorted out still", he said vaguely.
"What kind of things?", I madly said.
"My parents want to take me to the bank to get things sorted out plus my mom wants to take me somewhere to check some things out", he responded.
"What about the apartments?", I asked pissed.
"There will be time. I first need to sort those things out first", he said.

I rolled my eyes letting out a soft sigh.

"Fine", I said giving up.
He pulled me close to him kissing my temple.
"There will be time", he said smiling at me.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY....
I just finished part of my tour of the University and let me tell you it looked freaking amazing. The whole University vibe was really taking its toll and I was just so excited to start. Earlier on my mom and I went to go check the three apartments that Troy and I chose and I was impressed with the second one we chose. We just finished touring one of the Law Rooms when my tour guide told us to take a 10min break. I decided to take that opportunity to call Troy and tell him about the apartment.

"Hey babe", he said.
"Hey! Guess what?", I said excited.
"I got to see our apartment choices today", I said happily.
"You did?", he asked.
"Yup, I like the second apartment we chose. Its really spacious and it is affordable", I assured.
"Cool", he said.
