Don't You Say Your Goodbye

Chapter One

Her 18-year-old legs picked up their pace as she looked over her shoulder and saw him gaining speed and getting closer. The tears wouldn't stop streaming down her face she was terrified. She seemed to breath a sigh of relief as she saw her driveway come closer into view. Blood was dripping from the gash on her left forearm, were he had caught her with the knife as she escaped from his house. She stumbled to a stop at her front door, shoving her hands desperately into her jean pockets in search of her door key.

Her hands were shaking with fear as she located it and hurriedly put it in the location needed to unlock the door. As soon as she entered she turned back on herself to slam the door shut. The hope she had of freeing him shattered as a hand stopped it from shutting. She pushed against the inside of the door with all the strength she could muster to move his hand and lock the door, wanting to feel the safeness you feel once entered your own home.

"You're forgetting i'm a lot stronger than you Bella," the voice hissed through the gap in the door. She let out a sob as she continued to push.

"Leave me alone." She whispered through her tears, not caring if he heard her or not. Her breath once again caught in her throat as a voice behind her broke her concentration of trying to shut the door.

"Gabs, what is going on?" she turned so her back was pushing against the door, and saw Chad stood on the stairs a look of shock and confusion written on his face, but soon changed to worried at the look on his life time friends face. She was about to answer him when a voice from the outside hissed at her again.

"I swear to god Bella, if you don't let me in this house right now."

"Chad, what are you doing here?" she whispered and he made his way over to her. "It doesn't matter any way, just go make sure the back doors and all the windows are locked please?" she asked as he pushed against the door again causing her to jerk forward. Chad nodded and got to it straight away confusion and worry still itching away at him.

She sighed putting her head back against the door, eyes shut as fresh tears started to make their way down her cheeks. She turned back around so her hands were pushing against the door instead.

"Jamie, stop please!" She cried as barged at the door again. He stopped as he heard her voice but still leant against it, preventing her from closing the door fully. It was silent for a few seconds till he heaved all of his weight at the door, sending Gabriella backwards her hands only just saving her fall. Her head was inches from smacking against the hall tile floor. She opened her eyes after regaining from the shock, only to wish she hadn't. He was standing over her a smirk covered his face. He bent down so his face was inches above hers. He harshly grabbed her chin with his thumb and forefingers, physically making her meet his harsh gaze. She looked at him, an evil glint in his dark green eyes and his smirk had widened.

"Did you say something Bella?" he whispered and she inwardly cringed at the smell of alcohol on his breath. She didn't know a 19 year old could still be sober from the amount he'd drunk, but that wasn't what was important right now. Getting away from him un-injured was. She had never felt this scared before, she has never seen him so angry and he especially never used a knife against her. His fists and feet yeah, but never a weapon she was worried as to what he could do with it.

"I just wanted to know why you are doing this? I haven't done anything," she pleaded quietly, he barely heard her. He looked at her for a minute and she shrank back under his gaze, as he started to laugh. He stood up but still towered over her, so his feet were at the side of her hips.

"Why? Why? Because when i tell you to do something, you do it. No questions asked." he said voice rising higher after each word.

"You didn't tell me to do anything," she whispered, closing her eyes blocking her tears from falling.

"I told you, you weren't supposed to see that college friend of yours anymore and i find out he's staying with you." he bellowed. Even though now wasn't the time her heart fluttered at the sound of her best friends name.

"Troy is just my friend, nothing more. We've been through this," she answered taking a deep breath and he laughed maniacally.

"Bullshit and you know it. I've seen the way you are together, you never treat me like that!" he screeched and she flinched. "So to answer your question Bella, you have done something. You disobeyed me," he hissed.

"I'm not your personal maid, who you can just boss around. I have a life of my own." she shouted back, but instantly regretting it as he picked the vase up off the hall side table and chucked it on the floor, then she felt the back of his hand collide with her cheek. Her hand instantly going to cradle it, she could feel the heat rushing to it as she held it. She slowly opened her eyes to see him in her face again.

"Never talk back to me!" he whispered harshly pointing at her. "Do you understand?" he asked and she nodded. "Look at me when i'm talking to you, you whore." and she slowly lifted her head to meet his cold hard stare.

Chad was in the kitchen shutting one of the windows when he heard the vase smash. He picked up his pace and ran around shutting all the windows as fast as he could and made his way to the hall. He gasped at sight in front of him, he turned to the left as he saw someone on the stairs to see Troy stood there. His mouth open in shock pretty much like his own.

"What the he--!" Chad muttered, but was cut off a cry emitted from Gabriella's mouth as her supposedly boyfriend ripped her into a standing position with her hair. Then grabbed onto her arm right around the gash again causing her to cry out in pain.

"Hey! Do you mind telling me, what the fuck you think you're doing?" Troy suddenly shouted, running down the remaining steps and coming to stand in front of them.

"Troy!" Gabriella cried trying to reach out to him but to be pulled back harshly from the creature she called boyfriend for over 8 months.

"Don't you fucking dare! Remember i'm the one with the knife." Jamie whispered ruthlessly in her ear. "One more step and i swear to god!" Jamie threatened Troy.

"Swear to god what?" Troy taunted.

"Troy, no!" Gabriella whimpered not wanting Jamie to get the knife out and whimpering as he tightened his grip on her arm.

"Did i tell you to speak?" Jamie shouted at Gabriella and she instantly shook her head no, leaving a smirk on Jamie's face.

"Listen, you either let go or i make you let go of her," Troy reasoned his voice suddenly dangerous, his eyes had changed from the gorgeous ocean like blue to almost white. It took quite a lot to piss Troy off, make him angry. But make one wrong move with Gabriella or any friend or family, his anger rose as quickly as a flick of a light switch.

"Aaaww as college boy come to the rescue. I don't think so!" Jamie snickered.

"Your choice." Troy said shrugging it off. It went silent; the only thing you could hear was the heavy breathing of Gabriella. Troy was waiting for Jamie to break eye contact with him so he could tackle him and Chad was discreetly trying to get help off his phone.

"Move!" Jamie shouted at Gabriella not breaking the eye contact with Troy. "I said move, get outside now!" He shouted again and she reluctantly led the way as Troy and Chad followed.

"You really think i'm going to let you walk away with her?" Troy questioned as he stopped in front of them again and let a sarcastic laugh pass through his lips. He glanced at the grip Jamie had on Gabriella's arm as they stood facing each other on the drive, his brain going into over drive, thinking how he could get this psychotic kid off of Gabriella.

"You're just jealous because she's coming with me." Jamie accused, childishly.

"You're a fucking low life, let go off her right now." Troy said through gritted teeth as he grabbed Jamie shirt in a fist. "She needs to get her arm looked at, who knows what you have cut her with."

"I don't care, it can get infected all it wants. She's coming with me."

"You really think were going to let you walk away with her?" Chad rhetorically asked again coming to step behind Troy. Jamie shifted his gaze and looked at Chad and smirked.

"Well well looks who's found his voice--" he was cut off as Gabriella was ripped from his grasp and before he knew it, Troy had Rugby tackled him to the floor. He sat on Jamie's waist and raised and dropped his fist repeatedly in his face. After a few blows Troy got up and turned to walk away, after one kick to Jamie's stomach.

Gabriella watched from next to Chad, her eyes wide as she saw Jamie get up, taking the knife from his pocket. It seemed to go in slow motion as she watched Jamie say something causing Troy to turn to him.

"Troy" She shouted making a run for him. Troy turned to see Jamie what the fuck Jamie could want and found him up his face. Troy grunted when he felt a sharp pain in his stomach right in between his ribcage. He grunted again as he immediately brought his hands up to clutch the wound as Jamie removed the knife watching as he fell aimlessly to the floor. Gabriella was by his side within in seconds of him falling. She kneeled beside him stroking his hair out of his eyes, as tears came furiously out of hers.

Her eyes flickered left and she saw him stood there. He seemed to be frozen in the spot, his eyes glued to the damage he'd done to the body on the floor. His face showing not one emotion, his hand clutched the knife that had Troy's blood dripping from it.

"What have you done?" she asked turning to glare at him. She stood up in front of him and thumped on his chest crying hysterically "Look at what you've done you idiot, i hate you." She screeched and dropped to Troy's side putting his head in her lap.

"Come on Troy, open your eyes please, for me. Please Troy, i'm so sorry." She cried her forehead against his, letting her tears hit his face, gently rocking him. "Come on Troy i need you please, you can get through this."

"The ambulance and police are on the way," Chad said as he kneeled at the other side of Troy, "They told me to keep pressure on it" Chad said, it was like he was on auto pilot as he did as instructed from the paramedic he spoke to not seconds ago. Gabriella's head shot up as she heard Troy grunt in pain at the pressure Chad was putting against his wound.

"Brie."

"I'm here Troy, just keep your eyes open for me okay." she whispered gently stroking his cheek, he was silent for a few moments before answering.

"If i don't make it, tell everyone i know i love them, but you mean more to me than any girl i've met, i love you so much Brie. That night we spent together a month ago was the best night ever," he whispered out in between deep breaths and moans of pain. She shook her head violently.

"No, no, don't you dare say your goodbye Troy, you can get through this. This is not your time." She said as sob escaped her throat. She could hear his breathes become less and less frequent. "No, no Troy! Come on, please? Just a few more seconds please. The ambulance is nearly here," She cried more, she doesn't remember a time when she had ever cried so hard for someone. Chad stayed silent he didn't know what to say, he was in shock. Also in confusion as Gabriella kept whispering 'I can't do this alone.'

Not minutes after Gabriella said this an ambulance and 2 police cars pulled up outside her house, before she could even look up to look at the ambulance the paramedics were in front of her. And she was being pulled away from Troy.

"Excuse me miss, I'm Officer Shaw can i ask you a few questions please?" the woman in front of her asked her, she wiped the tears from her eyes, not that it helped any as they wouldn't stop flowing past her eyelids.

"Can we do this later please i need to see if he's okay," she said sniffling, the officer nodded sympathetically.

"Okay, can you just tell me who did it then?" She asked, pen and note pad in hand. Gabriella took a deep breath, eyes closed.

"Jamie Farrell, 123 Crescent Street." Gabriella whispered, and the police officer nodded and moved to the side to let her through. Not wasting any time Gabriella made a run for the ambulance as they where about to shut the doors.

"No wait! Can i come please?" She asked desperately, her hand grabbing the door.

"Are you a relative or anything?" A male who looked to be early 30's asked. She took yet again, another deep breathe before answering.

"I'm his girlfriend, please?"

"Come on, quick." He said and she jumped in to have him shut the door behind her, taking off within milliseconds as the door clicked locked.
