Protected

TRAILER

Gabriella Montez. The girl who had a protected life. At home her mother, and father watched her every move.

"Gabriella! Where were you? You were supposed to be home ten minutes ago!" Her mother yelled, as Gabriella opened the front door.

"Sorry, there was a lot of traffic." Gabriella told her mother honestly.

"Traffic? As if I'm going to believe that, your grounded young lady!" Her mother said sternly.

"But what about the Welcome Back Dance at school?" Gabriella asked praying her mother would let her go. She already missed to many school events in her life. This was her senior year, and she would make it count.

"Is Troy taking you?" She asked.

"Of course, who else?"

"Well only if Troy is taking you, I trust him."

At school, or where ever they went together her boyfriend was also watching every move she made.

Gabriella's phone rang for the fifth time that night, and yet again she ignored the call. Could he not get the hint, she had to study. She heard a knock downstairs and then her fathers voice. She sneeked to the door quietly listening in.

"Troy, what are you doing here this late?" Her father asked surprised.

"I called Gabriella five times, and she keeps ignoring my calls, I'm worried about her." Troy Bolton, her boyfriend, said in a very worried voice.

"What do you mean she ignored your calls? Gabriella Lizabeth Montez, get down here now!" Her fathers voice boomed through the house.

Her friends weren't much different, always asking her loads of questions if she was late, and if she dared talk to someone she did not know, the person had to answer to her friends.

"Who was that?" Taylor McKessie, Gabriella's best friend asked.

"Oh that was Mike, he's in my pre-calc class. He asked me what the homework was."

"Sure, he was probably just hoping you would make out with him." Taylor said staring down Mike who was turned the other way.

"Tay, relax, he's fine." Gabriella stated annoyed.

"Chad I need you to have a talk with Mike over there." Taylor told her boyfriend Chad as she left Gabriella's side.

"Got it," Chad understood what that meant.

Gabriella didn't know why they were like that. She never did anything bad, never broken the rules except for the occasional traffic jams, and most definitely never hung out with anyone other than who her parents approved of. Well, until Jacob Black arrived.

Jake stood leaning beside his motorcycle, "Come on, Gabriella, take a ride on the wild side for once in your life." Gabriella walked closer to him, he was dragging her in with every word he spoke.

"I don't think my parents, friends, or..." She whispered not being able to finish.

"Troy would approve?" Jacob finished laughing to himself, "I promise you won't regret this."

"And if I do?" She was standing in front of him, almost completely giving in.

He wrapped his arms around her waist and brought her to his chest tightly, then whispered in her ear slowly, "Just trust me". She could only nod at that moment, she never felt this way before. What was it about him?

Follow Gabriella as she faces fears, sadness, anger, and most importantly love. Not just love, but true love. The kind no human can give her, but she will find out no human has to.
