Okay, Well, I think I'm going to regret this. Ha, but this is a new story that I worked on a loonggg time ago. And I've only got 4 chapters written. Not sure if this is wise, but eh. And im supposed to be having another story coming out with someonelikeyou10. We're still working out on that, but im sure it'll happen. Well, im gonna see how this story works out by the first few chapters and tell me if you like it, other wise, I might not continue since school is back in soon. I haven't really wrote something like this before, so be easy on me. :) Hope you like it! A review would be very nice. :)
Enough rambling, on with the story…
Disclaimer: I own nothing. If only I did, right?
I looked out the window, staring out into the dark, night sky. I wrapped my arms around my knees tighter, feeling so dirty. I brushed myself, whimpering. I could still feel his hands all around me, touching me in places no one other than myself could touch. I never thought this day could have happened. Sure I've heard this all over the news, but I never thought it would have happened to me. Now, I'm scarred for life, and afraid. Tears streamed down my face, and I wiped them away.
How did just a year of loving life, having the greatest boyfriend and great friends turn into all this? My mom, why didn't she warn me? Why did she have to lose me? I heard the door slam downstairs, hearing him leave for the night, once again.
I sighed in relief, glad to know that the monster has left. But I knew he would come back soon. I sighed and grabbed the picture frame under my bed. I looked at it and took a sharp intake of breath. Fresh tears fell down my face. I looked at the picture through blurred eyes. It was a picture of me and my best friends all dog piled on each other.. I looked so happy, I didn't know what was going to happen in the future, and I didn't care at that moment. I whimpered again, "I miss you guys so much" I cried, remembering that day.
Flashback
"Gabi!" Sharpay shouted towards me. I giggled, beaming at her while holding onto Troy's hand. We were all at the park: me, Troy, Chad, Zeke, Sharpay, Taylor, Kelsi, and Jason.
Troy looked down at me, smiling. God, I love this boy with all I have. Even if we've only been dating for one year, we loved each other, and knew it was real. "What are you looking at, pretty girl?"
I smiled brightly, "I love you"
"I love you more," Troy said, pulling me into a side hug.
"Gabi!" Sharpay shouted again.
I looked away from Troy, and directed my gaze at Sharpay. "What?"
"I stole Zeke's extra cookies he made!" Sharpay giggled.
I laughed, "Keep one for me Shar!" I looked at my boyfriend lovingly, "So any plans tonight?"
"Maybe just hang out with you tonight" Troy smiled, kissing my temple, leaving a tingly feeling there.
"Awh, really? You don't have to" I told him. Our hands entwined into holding each other and started walking towards Sharpay.
"Don't worry about me babe."
"Are you sure? I don't want you to get in trouble." I said, concerned.
Troy chuckled. I smiled at him, but with concern still held in my brown eyes, "Don't worry Elle. My parents love you, they'll be fine if I stay late at your house. I just gotta tell them i'll be home late."
I sighed, giving up, "Fine" I held out my 'I'.
"You don't wanna hang out with me?" Troy asked, playfully.
"No" I pouted, trying to hold back a smile, "I want to be with you all day long." I giggled.
Troy grinned, stopping us from walking and leaned down slowly, giving me a kiss. I kissed him back and smiled. "Good, because I do too" and we continued walking to Sharpay.
Once we reached our destination, Troy sat down and I sat on his lap, looking at him if it was okay. He grinned and kissed my cheek. I blushed.
Sharpay handed me a cookie and Troy one too. We were about to take a bite out of our delicious cookies Zeke made but then I felt it swoop out of my hand. I looked up, seeing Chad, Zeke and Jason running with each of our cookies in their hand. "Hey!" Sharpay shouted. "Gimme back my cookie!"
Troy and I laughed in unison as Sharpay stood up and ran after them. Soon after, Kelsi, and Taylor ran after the guys. I laughed at my friends and I sensed Troy smile at me. "Wanna join?" he asked.
"I think i'm perfectly fine here," I smiled. Troy rolled his eyes and kissed me, then stood up, making me fall onto my butt. Ouch.
"Come and get me!" Troy laughed, running after our friends.
I giggled and ran after him. As soon as I caught up to him, I jumped on his back and we fell forward, next to the gang, who were in the same exact position as us. The girls on the guys back, laughing like crazy. It was a perfect and fun moment, and we heard a snap and saw a flash. We looked in front of us and saw an elder with a camera in her hand.
"Sorry children. It was just such a cute scene, I had to take a picture of it." She said to us.
We smiled, not mad about it. "It's fine" We simultaneously said.
"Would you guys like the picture?" the elder woman asked. We all nodded happily. "Okay, well, i'll take one more and i'll print them out really fast. My house is just right there" She said, pointing to a house across the street.
"Okay," Taylor said, smiling.
"Okay, ready for another picture." I looked at the camera and felt soft lips on my cheek. "1.." I giggled, knowing it was Troy. "2...3.. click. Okay, well I will be going to print these pictures, so stay here"
So we decided just to hang out there for a little while more, and she came back giving us those pictures. They did look cute.
End of Flashback
By now, I sobbed with all I had. I can't believe I just went through this all. I never thought I would go through it. Why did it happen to me? I was still curled up on my bed, looking out the window. I looked away, not wanting to see that monster if he came back. I looked back at the picture of my and my friends. The one when we were all oblivious to someone taking the picture. Things changed that afternoon, and so quickly it did.
Flashback
After receiving our pictures, Troy took me home, as well as everyone else going home. "Okay, i'm gonna go home and get my stuff and eat dinner with my family. So i'll see you in about an hour or more. Okay?" He said to me while I was on the steps of my front porch.
"Okay. You know, you still don't have to come over. ." I told him.
Troy smiled, "It's okay Elle. I will because I want to" He inched his lips towards mine and I did the same. Our lips met in a soft kiss, pulling back and smiling like we always do after a kiss. "Bye"
"Bye" I said, walking into my house. I took off my shoes and put my bag down next to them. I heard a sob in the living room and panicked. "Mom?!" I said, running to the living room. There my mom, was on the couch crying into her knees. "Mom." I said, sitting right in front of her.
"Oh Gabi" My mom sobbed.
"What happened?" I was scared.
"Your- your going to have to move to New York a-and live with your-your f-father" she stuttered to me.
"What?! What if I don't want to move with dad? Mom! When did you arrange this?" I asked, tears coming to my eyes. I didn't want to lose my friends, and most of all, Troy.
"It's been h-happening for over a month. I've been to court with your father. I've lost custody of you honey" My mom said. I was completely shocked. They were battling for me behind my back for over a month?
Fresh tears stung my eyes, "Mom, no. Please, please don't tell me I have to move. I don't wanna leave. I don't wanna lose my friends. Mom, please" Tears streamed down my face.
"I'm so sorry honey. I wish I could. I don't want you leaving either, but-but it has to happen."
I sniffed, "When am I leaving?"
"Tomorrow morning." She told me.
"So soon?"
Mom nodded, "They want you out of here as soon as possible."
"H-how long am I staying with my dad?" My mom looked up at me sadly.
"At least until your 18 to get your own place, otherwise, you're staying with him for 2 more years." she told me.
"2 years? That's so long." I whispered.
"I'm so sorry sweetie. I want you here with me, but that won't happen until your 18. That is if you decide to come here."
I cried and my mom held me. After several minutes, I checked my phone. It was 6:48 pm and I only had little time to be with my friends. "I'm gonna go call Troy" I told my mom.
She nodded and got up, walking to the kitchen and started making food. I dialed his familiar number. "Hello?" I heard him on the other line.
"Troy?" I said meekly.
"Elle, what's wrong?"
"C-can you please come down here now?" I asked.
"Yeah. I'm leaving right now. Are you okay, babe?"
"I'll talk to you when your here." I told him, walking to my room. "Mom?" I said, walking into the kitchen.
"Hmm?"
"I'm gonna invite everyone over tonight, okay?"
"Alright, you better start packing too. ."
I sighed, "It's going by too fast. . ."
"I know honey." I heard my mom say as I left the kitchen.
Maybe moving to New York with my dad won't be so bad. Who am I kidding? He is a great guy though, always so nice and caring, but he does have a small drinking problem. That's why my parents divorced when I was 12. He just had one small drinking problem. That's it. I sighed, sitting on the steps, waiting for Troy.
Ding Dong, Ding Dong
I giggled lightly. He was always so impatient when he thinks somethings wrong with me. I opened the door seeing a concerned Troy. "Elle! What's wrong?!" I sighed, and pulled him upstairs into my room. "Gabriella" he gave me a look.
I sighed and sat on my bed, "I'm moving. . ."
"WHAT?!"
I nodded sadly, "You know how my parents got divorced when I was younger?"
"Yeah" he said
"They were fighting for me in court for over a month with out me knowing. . . My mom lost custody of me" I said, tears stinging my eyes.
"Elle," he whispered, sitting next to me and embraced me into his arms.
I nodded into his chest, tears coming from my tear ducts, one by one. "I have to move to N-New York with my father. I'm staying there for good." I sobbed. "At least until I'm 18 and then I can move out. But I don't wanna move" I told him.
Troy sighed, "I wish I could do something babe." he kissed my head. "Do you know when your moving?"
"Tomorrow morning.."
"So soon? You don't even have anything packed!" it sounded like he was getting mad.
"I-I know. They want me out as soon as possible." I cried, "I don't wanna leave, Troy."
"No one wants you to baby" he said, holding me tighter.
I sighed, "I know" I mumbled into his chest.
"Well, you wanna call everyone up and have a great last night?" Troy asked.
I nodded, "Yeah. Our last night together, until i'm 18"
End of Flashback
The night that seemed so long ago was but in reality it was only at least six months past. I have a clear memory of everything so vividly. Doubting anyone still even cared or remembered me, my heart broke. I stood up desperately needing a shower. As i shredded off my blue cardigan I saw the marks, a rush of emotion went through me. My mind replaying the events that happened only less than an hour ago. As I closed my eyes, I felt as if I was there again, with his hands on me and me pleading for it to end. With my back against the wall, I slid down to the floor, curling my knees up to my chest. As I sat there sobbing with my body shaking violently, only one thing came to mind.
Somehow, someday, I know I will find a way--no matter the consequences or difficulty, I can assure anyone that I, Gabriella Montez, will never feel dirty again.
