Protecting Me

Chapter 1

An 11 year old Gabriella ran downstairs yelling for her mom.

"Mommy. Mommy. Mommy"

"Gabs what's wrong?" Gabriella's 15 year old, big sister, Alice asked?

"Where's mommy? I'm bleeding?"

"She's not home; she and dad are at the supermarket, where are you bleeding from?" Alice was beginning to get concerned about Gabriella.

She looked at Austin Alice's boyfriend and her best friend Troy's big brother. Then she ran upstairs, crying.

"I'll be right back" Alice said to Austin. And he nodded in understanding.

Alice walked upstairs and knocked on Gabriella's door. "Gabs can I come in?"

"Go away AJ" Alice's middle name was Jane, and that was why most people called her AJ, except her parents who always called her by her real name.

AJ slowly opened the door and walked in. "Gabs please tell me from where you are bleeding"

Gabriella shook her head. "No I want mommy"

"Sweetie, mommy's not here. And I'm sure I can help. Did the bleeding came when you were in the bathroom?"

Gabriella looked down embarrassed.

AJ hugged her. "Gabs there is nothing to be embarrassed about, it happens to every girl"

"You also have it?" Gabriella asked.

"Yes I do, but not at the moment, but in a week or so I'm going to have it again. C'mon" AJ took her little sisters hand and they walked to the bathroom.

She opened a closet and took out a sanitary towel. "Put this on and the next time you go to the bathroom, you take on a new one"

Gabriella nodded.

"You think you know how to do it?"

"Yes" "Good" AJ smiled at Gabriella and walked downstairs to Austin.

"What happened?" Austin asked worried. He saw Gabriella as his little sister too.

"Let's say she's about to become a woman now"

"You mean she got her….?"

"Yes"

Later that day Troy came over

"Hi Brie"

"Hi Troy" she said looking down she still felt embarrassed.

"Is something wrong?" Troy got worried. Troy and Austin always got concerned when they thought something was wrong with Gabriella. They would always try to protect her.

"No" she said not wanting to look up.

"What's with her?" Troy asked Austin and AJ

"She got her period"

"What's that?" Troy asked really not knowing what it was.

"You'll learn when you get older Troy" Austin said laughing at his little brother.

"Austin shh, it isn't Troy's fault he doesn't know what it is" Alice said defending Troy, she saw Troy as her little brother as well as Austin saw Gabriella as his little sister.

That had now been 5 years ago and Troy and Gabriella were sophomores and AJ and Austin was going to the University of Albuquerque.

Gabriella and Troy is now a couple and they have been since they were 13 and AJ and Austin are still together.

Austin walked inside Gabriella and Alice's house like it was his own, like he had done for 10 years.

He saw someone he assumed must be AJ standing at the kitchen table.

"AJ?"

Gabriella turned around.

"Oh hi Bella I thought you were AJ, you two look so much like each other. If I didn't know you, I would have thought you were twins"

"Is that a compliment?" Gabriella said with a smile.

"Of course, you and your sister are the most beautiful women I've ever met"

"Aww Austin you so sweet, you have to taught your brother how to give a girl compliments"

"I'll try" he said smiling.

"Gabs you aren't hitting on my boyfriend are you?"

"Always" Gabriella said and giggled.

"Hey!" AJ gave her sister a 'shut up' look and turned to her boyfriend. "Hey sexy" she said wrapping her arms around his neck kissing him.

Gabriella shook her head and called Troy.

"Hey Brie what's up?"

"Not much I'm just watching your brother and my sister making out. Please come and save me"

"Okay I will and maybe we can start our own make out section"

"Maybe" She hung up and 3 minutes after Troy walked in the door.

"Okay I can see why you wanted me to come, they are just like when we were 11 and they wouldn't keep their hands off of each other"

Flashback

AJ and Austin were having a huge make out scene when Troyella walked in. Both of them closed their eyes.

"EEEEWWWW" Gabriella yelled.

But AJ and Austin didn't seem to notice they just kept kissing.

"HELLO?" Troy said, but nothing happened.

"Kids in the room" Gabriella said, but still nothing happened.

Gabriella screamed "AAAHHHHH" and both Austin and AJ looked concerned on her. She knew she would always have them to protect her.

"Bella what's wrong?" Austin asked.

"Yeah Gabs what happened"

"Nothing, I just wanted to make you 2 stop kissing and it worked" she said smiling, and her and Troy made high five.

AJ and Austin looked at each other and shook their heads at their siblings, and then they just continued kissing.

End of Flashback

"Yeah they are" Gabriella said.

"But the good thing about this is that this time, we can play along" Troy said with a smirk, and he and Gabriella started making out as well.

Gina (AJ and Gabriella's mom walked in) to see what her girls were doing with their boyfriends. "Greg?" Gina said calling for her husband.

"What?" he said walking to the door but when he saw, at the same direction Gina was looking he knew exactly what she wanted to say to him.

"Hey this is a kitchen not a love room" Gina said with a higher voice, and all 4 of them pulled back.

"Hi mom" Gabriella said embarrassed.

"Hi Gina" Austin said.

Gina just shook her head and walked to the kitchen table.

This was the first chapter. I wanted to have it out to see if you like it. So please review
