Author's Note: This is my fourth HSM fanfiction. I've mostly been writing Ryan and Troy stories so I thought that I would try a Troy and Gabriella story. WARNING! PHYSICAL AND MAYBE SEXUAL ABUSE! So don't tell me that I didn't warn you. Enjoy.

"Gabriella… get out of… here now!" My mother yelled with all of her strength from her position on the floor. Mark was standing over her slapping and punching her.

"Mom, I can't leave you!" I cried watching the gruesome scene before me.

"Go!" She yelled once more before getting knocked out cold. I made a move for the front door but it was quickly blocked by Mark. I then turned around and ran upstairs to my room. I closed and locked my door, putting my desk chair up against the door also. I grabbed my phone and a knife that I kept underneath my bed for emergencies like this one.

"Gabriella open the door!" I heard Mark shout from the outside of my door. I screamed in fear and dialed the only number I could think of.

"Hello?" The groggy voice said on the other line.

"Troy! It's me Gabriella!" I said crying.

"Gabbi, what's going on?" Troy asked now wide awake.

"It's Mark. He already hurt my mom and now he's going to get me. Please get help!" I cried frantically in the phone.

"Ok! Ok! I'm calling the police now. Where are you?" He asked.

"I locked myself in my room." I said.

"Ok, whatever you do, do not leave that room. I'm on my way! I love you." He said.

"I love you too." I whispered and then the line went dead. I hugged my knees closer to me with the phone in one hand. Mark had started to bang on the door hard that I could hear the wood crack. I became as scared as ever and started to cry even harder. I knew that I wasn't going to make it out of this house alive but I prayed anyway. The door then flew open and Mark was holding a bat in his hands. He walked over to me and I closed my eyes. I could feel that he was over me and I screamed for one last cry of help.

"NO!"

I know you are all confused right now. Maybe I should start from the beginning…

Author's Note: Ok, I know that was short but this is just the first chapter. This is a little intense and probably will get even more intense so be prepared. Please review!
